A couple of things I'll suggest, as I think they go along with some of the themes in the pack:
-Take portal guns out of chest loot. They have a complex recipe, but since you easily find them exploring, no one needs to make them.
-Longfall boots have the normal recipe. For little investment you get Diamond boots, better than Featherfall4,better than Unbreaking3 plus Repair. We are looking at changing the recipe to be Compressed refined iron plates instead of iron, x4 or x5 compressed cobble for obsidian, and some nice thruster or antigrav component, to gate them up with high level tech.
-Lava Crystal from Tinkers Construct is easy to get, even probably before you get a lumber axe. With so many biomes with large trees, you can fill your inventory with charcoal after a few whacks. We are deabating changing the recipe on our server to include something high level in thaumcraft with a fiery theme, and a tech component. Or maybe just disabling it.
-Draconic Furnace puts out 80rf/t. It requires finding draconium in the nether, enough for 4 ingots. But this is one of the best early game energy sources, especially considering the recipe.
