I’ve been wanting to get back into e2e for a while, and new options has appeared since the last time I’ve played e2e. I heard a lot of good things about enigmatica 2 expert extended such as better balance and more content, but I’ve also heard a lot of people complaining about it being “unfun” and too tedious and diverges too much from e2e. I’ve also heard about enigmatica 2 expert unofficial, which is allegedly closer to the “original” e2e but with updated mods, but it doesn’t seem very active at the moment, and the original e2e just got a big update (a few months ago lol). I’m not sure which one to choose so I came here to look for opinions on the three packs.
Just play GT:NH for half a year and no pack will ever seem tedious to you again.
Out of the three I only played the original E2:E, I liked it, but stopped playing at late midgame/early endgame (I set up some automation for extended craftings pedestal thing and then stopped). Expert packs all seem to get tedious at some point. But so do kitchen sink packs.
I guess I’m saying: Just play a new pack. There are soooooo many packs to play out there.
E2E is the new pack, but it seems like the entire universe is calling for me to play GTNH, so I suppose I should just accept my fate and dive into the rabbit hole of GTNH. Speaking of Gregtech, I have previously played GCP and nomifactory and a big issue is base layout, as I always end up with an inefficient base. Is there any tips on base planning in GTNH?
It took me half a year to get to MV (with a full time job and an active social life). Be aware of what you are getting into.
I went for a huge open floor factory hall with a second layer for fuel pipes underneath. Not sure if it is really necessary to think about layouts in advance.
Try it out. It IS the ultimate expert pack in my opinion and if you have played nomifactory before you know enough about gregtech to get started, although I have to say the two versions of GT differ a lot and I like the one from GTNH better.
