About this Modpack
Description
MachineHole is a modpack focused on large-scale and realistic industrialization: from simple steam engines to complex aircraft from the Valkyrien Skies mod series. Building resource chains and creating platforms will take weeks, and players will need to progress from water wheels and the complicated content of regular Create, all the way to custom-built rockets and nuclear power.
The modpack is designed for multiplayer survival, but it will also work well in a single-player world, although progression will require much more time.
KubeJS and add-ons
The modpack contains custom add-ons to create artificial compatibility, for example:
Crash fixes between Valkyrien Skies and Power Grid mods. It also features a custom oxygen system that interacts with Create tanks, adds a custom "Oxygen Generator", modifies blocks from the Cosmic Horizon mod, and reworks various other minor aspects of the modpack, such as disabling ender pearls and elytra, as well as overall balance changes.
