Combat

It's been a while since I've seen Mo' Creatures around. tinkers construct is always nice, and the addons like extraTiC and Iguana tweaks that give you more options and allow you to level up tools. things like mekanism, thermal foundation and minefactory reloaded are your classic good tech and automation mods. Ars Magicka 2 is a personal favorite of mine. it can be a bit slow to progress, but It's really fun to write and build your own spells to cast.

True, the last time I saw it was quite a bit ago, but it's been a year or so since I experimented with mods.  There are probably better "add more mobs" mods, but I just picked a random one.

 Instead of modpacks, I usually tried to mix some of my favorite's together, with varying levels of success. Probably Thermal Expansion was my favorite machine/automation mod, although I might have gotten the name wrong.  I've heard of Magicka (and other ones like Botania), but never tried them.  I probably experimented a little more mixed together biome adding and terrain generation mods.  They either went weird together.....or crashed.

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll look for a mod pack that looks interesting and that won't be to intensive on my computer.
