So... You DO have a filter set up?
Yay! More publicity means more people! More people means more publicity! More publicity means more posts, which make me happy!
The very first version of this pack was originally intended as exactly that - a sort of roleplay-able Voltz + Galacticraft, Portal Gun, and Gravity Gun. The original name was Pepperture Mesa - a combo of Blapperture Mesa and the name of one of my friends (with the former term being a combo of Aperture Science and Black Mesa). Unfortunately, most of it ran off of Universal Electricity. Three two re-writes later, it's missing most of its original "Mad Science" mods (ICBM, qCraft, Sync, Mutant Creatures, Portal/Gravity Gun), but Galacticraft and most of the tech mods remain. Once I'm done with the HQM quests, I plan on finding some of those old mods. I'll look for the updated ones, then the ones that use RF (where applicable), then the balanced ones, then the ones without any horrible bugs, then I'll put those in. Whatever mods are missing, I may try to re-make myself - I would like to learn how to mod and make a "Mad Science" mod powered off of RF that supplies all the luxurious of a real evil lair (that means lightning makers and particle accelerators and secret missile silos). Of course, that'll wait until this pack is in a stable position (except for Gravity/Portal Gun, which I found out yesterday have been updated. They'll be in the next update!).
As for learning the mods, I'm glad you're using this pack to get into that. Tinker's Construct in particular is fantastic. My advice is to use the in-game books from every mod to your advantage, and use NEI. You probably already know that, but I never get tired of saying "use NEI."
Thanks for spreading the word! The fact that people like this pack is a huge source of happiness for me. This couldn't be going better.
... Just make sure to post links to your vids of this pack here, and tell others to do so as well. I both want to watch them and I would love to put them in the OP!
If you're making a series, though, just post the first episode or a link to the playlist. I'll watch every vid, but posting every episode would be spam.
