(Hope this isn't necroing this post but...)

Well, mostly my work is progressing to the point of having a space fleet in mystcraft space (void) age. I've already gotten close to finishing on my dw20 1.4.7 map and each ship can fully function seperately with it's own power source. I usually try to get to space builds done asap

I've changed my routine a bit. Since installing BoP and Natura, exploration is more fun. Now my routine is basically:
1. Punch trees and gravel to get basic TiC flint tools.
2. Travel around collecting stuff, if possible build a bed and if there's a lot of gravel ores and I got the materials then a backpack, collect stuff like food, bushes, leather, cacti etc. If I have a bed I sleep during the nights, otherwise I do basic processing and get a few ingots ready though I usually don't move to metal tools since I like TiC better than vanilla tools and can't bother with a smeltery.
3. Find someplace nice to settle down, usually a village or simple dungeon from dungeonpack/better dungeons.
4. Start doing random stuff based on what my project is and what I've found. I usually determine my strategy based on what I've found; if I have a sh*tload of eggs I might start out with building a chicken farm, if I have found lots of cacti I might start with some lava pumping from ravines etc.
5. At this point I usually either get bored of the map and start a new, or get some issue and start a new, or I continue with some randomly chosen project. I tend to like biofuel/boiler setups as much as the next person, but try to keep varied.

In SMP
1. Travel few hours in random direction from the spawn, until I collect all necessary stuff (bees, rubber saplings, cacti, etc) and found a good spot to settle.
2. Set up a magma-powered base
3. Find some diamonds
4. Make a fillerforest to get thousands eu/t and quantum suit
5. Fool around with bees, turtles, etc
6. Lose interest, shutdown chunkloaders and leave until next server reset

TBH, I'm more enjoying designing factories in Creative. Survival is just a reality check for my designs.
