Well I mean aside from that. MFR plastic in expert mode costs ROCKET FUEL, which is ridiculous, and I guess the vanilla way would be okay if not for it being so difficult to pick out zombie villagers from all the rest of the zombies in a spawner type situation.
It really isn't THAT ridiculous, even in expert mode. All rocket fuel requires is:
1. An EnderIO Vat
2. Water, potato/wheat, sugar - to make Hootch
3. Hootch, gunpower, redstone - to make Rocket Fuel
Then to make the plastic itself you need Electrical Steel, which Silicon is prob the hardest part, but just SAG Mill sand for that, piece of cake.
And the compressed sawdust, but just use that Thermal Expansion Sawmill for making your planks out of wood logs, and you'll have plenty of sawdust.
Rocket Fuel (or MFR Plastic) is a lot easier than people make it out to be, but I do hear this exactly comment about it over and over, especially on the server I play on. Don't understand it tho.
