Do you have recommendations for modern "factorio meets Minecraft" modpacks? The more hardcore and complex the better.

I am very out of the loop with Minecraft, not having played in quite a few years. Meanwhile, I have been getting into factorio... but the thought of going back to my Minecraft roots is appealing

GregTech: New Horizons.

Pretty sure between the very active developer community they've built up and the incredibly deep and broad tech progression, new end-game content is being added faster than players could possibly reach it. Got pretty in-depth quest tree to keep pointed in the right direction.

GTNH modded Minecraft 1.7.10 to run on Java 17 and 20.

That’s the level of dedication there.

If it has truly been a few years, you've missed quite a few good ones.

- Enigmatica 2: Expert (or 6)

- AllTheMods 8

and my personal favorite

- Not too Complicated 2

Basically, anything Lashmak[1] plays.
