5 so...I now got my first few ores, which are a bit like gregtech in how they generate.
Big but rare veins. I kind of like that more than the vanilla way, at least its something different.
So far that has been my experience pretty much in a nutshell, a bit grindy but different than the normal stuff you have to do. Normally I don't care about horses at all, here there are 3 machines that actually need them. Its a bit sad that I'm on an island and that the base of another (as of yet only) person on the server also has a giant river/lake between the base and the "main" land. Else I probably would've actually used the cart or at least the horse a bit more to move around.
For now a raft has worked sort of fine though, just need to connect the 2 rivers properly someday, but until now I didn't have the tools to do so. Maybe though now that I am in age 1 I can...not sure though.
I've also never touched totemic before, going to be honest. So far I'm not sure if I like it though. The totems are interesting but the ceremonies feel lackluster. Just spam click a bit and you are done. However, as a lot of items are still hidden for me and pretty much everything has custom recipes it can easily be the case that normally it would be better.
