Considering to try this pack focusing on magic/nature mods mainly while avoiding tech mods as much as possible. But I fear tech stuff has to be involved to do any sort of descent automation? I mean Thaumcraft golems can only do so little. Relying just on magic/nature mods to get resources is probably making the grind even worse?
It will be a grind. I am working agricraft. I have a solid 16 hours of work in getting all the seeds to 10,10,10 in just the mystical flowers. To get all of the Pam's craft seeds it will probably be another 30 hours or so. It looks like you have to do Botania before you can start the other magic packs. Looks like they all inter relate to some extent.
