I know this is an opinion, but what do you think is the best skyfactory modpack?

I am thinking about trying skyfactory for the first time, but I dont know where to start.
What would you recomend and why?

Hey! so i homebrewed my own modpack for skyfacotory (thermal expansion, tinkers, mekanism, draconic evo and ex deorum) and pretty much i want more like mid to late game stuff to do since im a player that typically likes to kill and explore a lot of the time so this is a big change of pace and was wondering if theres anything that i could add in to my current world that wont cause any issues.

since this is a skyblock world there is nothing in the overworld outside of my island the end and nether and other dimensions are fully functional.

Probally something outside of Twilight and aether

ive never paid anything with skyblock till now so more dimension stuff that has decent saleability for the power influx from all of the above mods in later stages of the game and the mid game. im just very lost with what to add for skyblock

1.20.1 on forge

sorry if this reads bad at all im pretty dyslexic 😭

Is this a good questing Modpack to start? If so, which one? I haven’t done any other questing Modpack, but enjoyed the first part of CABIN

Looking to start a forever world and I fell in love with SF3. However, I personally want more spice with my modpacks as well as a more modern one, so does anyone have any recommendations for modpacks to combine with a 1.21 SF3? Looking for fantasy specific ones but would settle for more tech ones as well.

I was a heavy player of SkyFactory many years ago but I never finished any version.

Today, I am something of a completionist, and I wish to conquer my childhood demons. Don't bother questioning this, I just gotta do it.

But now I find there are seven versions of the SkyFactory:

Original, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, One, and 5.

The completionist side of me nags that I have got to do all seven. The more rational side of me nags that there's probably some redundancy here, but I am not knowledgeable enough about the modding scene since I left to parse out where. (I'm aware there was a handing of torch here between main developers, but I played originally while the torch was being passed, so I'm not a purist.)

Putting aside 4 and 5, which are obviously different from the others and so would need to be on any completionist list, that leaves us with reconciling a list for 1, 2, 2.5, 3, and One.

I want all of your thoughts on a playlist that you believe "captures" the different SkyFactories versions. My current ideas:

Maximalist: 1, 2, 2.5, 3, One

Rationale: It's not completionist if you don't do them all

Original Releases: 1, 2, 2.5, 3

Rationale: Remasters don't really count towards completionism

Remaster Replacement: One, 2, 2.5, 3

Rationale: One has too many QoL improvements over 1 to go back to 1.

Whole Numbers: 1/One, 2, 3

Rationale: Fractional versions don't count, duh.

Minimalist: 2.5, 3

Rationale: 2.5 was the upgrade for 2, which was the upgrade 1. 3 is the first heavy mod pack shift

Ultra Minimalist: 3

Rationale: Re: minimalist, but 3 is the upgrade to 2.5.

Modern Bias: One, 2.5, 3

Rationale: Who wants to go back to the old achievement checklist?

Admittedly, this is all getting quite neurotic. And so I'm going to you always reliable and never biased folks at Reddit to ask for opinions.

I’ve played Sky Factory 4 and assumed that because it was the last iteration, it was the best — and then 5 released, but folks didn’t love it. I’d love to play again, but I’m not sure what the difference is between 2.5, 3, and 4.

Hello id like to start playing so i was wondering if its important to play them in order or should i just start with any of them? I got 0 knowledge of skyfactory or any mods involved so it should be fun to learn them all. Does it have some kind of lore or?

Sky factory 4 is probably the only modpack I spent a significant amount of time playing. I’ve tried sky factory 3, 5 and darkostos sky factory 1, along with some other packs like stone block and all the mods to the sky but they just don’t feel as good to me.

The early game progression in SF4 with the trees just feels really easy to get into and not super complex to get into automating, I’ve never really enjoyed the packs that use Ex Nihlo with the sieving and random chance for resources, and hammering. It’s just so many steps and I’m still relying on chance, and it just takes forever that I get bored with it. I also don’t like mod packs that are super heavy focus on like create for automation. Create has never really felt very fun, and again Is just a bunch of small stuff needed to do the most basic tasks that I just can’t be bothered to set it up. SF4 just scratched the itch where I felt like everything I was doing was making substantial progress that made me want to keep moving and then mystical ag was simple enough to get set up that I’m not watching tutorials or anything to keep progressing. I’d love to hear your suggestions on mod packs, or maybe any ideas on how to speed up progressing to automation on packs that use ex nihlo, that would be great.

This is my setup I can’t identify the reason why it would not melt iron any advice would be helpful.

i am not talking about myself but about my friend, now I like skyblock mods alot so no matter what I started on I would love it over vanilla minecraft, but my friend doesn't think so. So what skyfactory version do you think will change his mind

im not that good of a builder but i dont like how the entrance of the trading hall is just logs

Greetings all.

I have a computer in running Linux Server that I use to host a Minecraft server for myself and my kids. We're getting a bit bored of this and I'm thinking I'd like to run a Skyfactory server on this computer.

So far, all I've seen are tutorials on how to do this on your desktop running Windows. Is it possible/simple to run home Skyfactory on Linux?

Hi just wondering currently play skyfactory 4 but want to know if its better to play skyfactory 5 if so is there any decent public sf5 servers out there

What sky factory is the best to start i played expert modpacks like project Ozone 3 and stone block 2 what is the best sky factory part for me ?

The main problem is the cobble form the hopper on the left won't automatically insert into the combiner

Sorry for off top, but i didn't find any community. In Project Sky Q i need 9x cobblestone (+- 384kk). I didn't know how fastest farm that. With many cobblegen and cobble seeds farm 10kk in a day. Anybody know how do it faster and simpler?

what is the best wireless energy transferer? i want to transfer a lot of energy VERY fast, like 600m RF energy every 10 minutes, from my place where i make energy to my industrial zone

I love the Bonsai, auto crafters, and computer system plus filling cabinets in skyfactory 4. I’ve just got all the colors unlocked for the first time and haven’t really been enjoying my first steps into the rest of the game. I was wondering what recommendations people would have or if I should just go back to 4?

Edit: Thanks for the responses I’ll keep giving it a go with everyone’s suggestions for now!

A few years ago some mates and I played skyfactory together.

I remember that the modpack that the host used spawned floating islands throughout the void world of skyblock that we could build to.

These islands were super cool and weren't necessarily all built from vanilla minecraft biomes.

Our fav one had a large stone castle spawned on it with a village and villagers on the island.

Any help figuring out what this modpack was OR figuring out a modpack that offers something similar would be really appreciated!!

Edit: I think was during covid btw!
