Are there any questing modpacks that don't try to cram Botania into inappropriate places?
I enjoyed playing Galactic Science up until the mid game drudgery, so I read about the end game and decided I had gone far enough. You can tinker around with that a bit now to get an understanding of it and sometime down the road Galactic Science 2 will be released. It is on version 0.07 now and looks to attempting to address the criticisms of its initial creation.
FYI it is still a 1.7.10 pack.
