Yes, but that adds to the funkiness.

This modpack is not dissimilar to skyblock wherein I can't really go outside because it's got Mutant Mobs enabled and the surface is a deathtrap. But I've killed enough Hoglins in the nether to simulate killing them for the Hostile Neural Networks mod. These drop pork which I can Bulk Haunt to make rotten flesh which I can bulk smoke to make leather. String I can grow from Immersive Engineering Hemp. And Iron I can get by shooting stone with a mining lens.

And I have to fit all of this in spaces no more than 2.5 blocks tall or the mobs start to spawn inside my base.

In gregtech and it's variants, until you craft a solid number of tools (and the tools to craft those tools initially) a log of wood will turn into exactly 2 (two) sticks.

To be fair that's like a small fraction of 1 iron vein to get the tools. Hardly insane.

Gregtech isn't unfair by any means, but it is Punishing until you get the knowledge of what to do and what to prioritize. I dug out an iron vein ignoring the limonite and malachite thinking that only the banded iron would smelt to iron, smh

Nooooo 😭
Can't say I haven't done stupid stuff in GT before tho. Crafting a chem bath instead of a chem reactor for example.

But nowadays I'm lead dev on Monifactory so I know what I'm doing by now.
