I hear you on sometimes getting bored. A month ago I went through 5 saves, all which died due to some nasty bugs and such - a heartbreaker, really. I took a break but kept up with the development of my more favorite mods, the progressive ones, and then big stuff starting to come out again and I got back into the game. On ideas: it's late right now. I might come up with some stuff later, though. Really still interested in the ideas of a Mystcraft age with history.
