Makes sense. Perhaps consider FTB Infinity Evolved when you're ready to check something else out, its the current flagship "kitchen sink" pack (2 or 3 packs removed from Ultimate I think, following Monster and/or Unleashed).
Its been a while, but if memory serves, Xeno's Reliquary has fun toys in it.

Gravity gun was also neat iirc.

Thats pretty much the same thing that happened to me lol, ultimate was my first modpack and i fell in love with itUltimate was the funnest pack I played, altho I suspect that may be more due to circumstances (it was the first FTB modpack I ever played) than anything else. Minecraft has been no different from any other game for me - at the beginning, the game is the most fun I've ever had, but a few short years later and it's just another game I've become all too bored with. Sigh. But yeah, I still remember my FTB Ultimate world fondly. I wish I had saved it, but at some point I deleted the files and its gone for good.

... since Ultimate had the "ultimate" tech mod (GregTech of course), I was perfectly happy. Then there was a falling out of sorts, due to Greg's abrasive personality, and things have never quite been the same (in my opinion, probably not shared by all)....
