We, as players, truly need a solid resource mod to support us in the endgame. This need is clearly felt. Yes, there are some indirect ways to gather resources, but they require repeating and scaling the same system over and over again. I believe this is exhausting and inefficient for both players and servers. In my opinion, Productive Bees would be a perfect fit as a resource pack for this modpack. I hope you see and support this suggestion.
I’ve played this modpack for over 300 hours, and I genuinely think the resource system causes major issues. Since servers restrict certain mechanics, it’s not possible to gather resources the same way we do in single-player. That’s why I strongly believe a solid and balanced resource mod should definitely be added. In my opinion, bees would be the most fitting and fun option for this mod.

Problem 1: #1387913603126132756
Problem 2: see image
Problem 3: there is already a ton of ways to get resources DIRECTLY so i dont get a need to add another way, either youre lying about the 300 hours or you somehow never seen them which is impossible
and problem 4 is something im still on the fence about since this really reads like an AI generated suggestion

We don't need this pack to just start turning into a skyfactory pack/every automation based tech modpack. The pack has plenty of tech considering said tech is meant to be optional.
proper gulch
Yeah last thing we need is an additional resource gathering mod. We got that taken care of
also this would cause a ton of entity lag on servers so that whole thing about it being better is immediately null and void

I’m aware of those methods, but many of them aren’t efficient — and servers make them even less so. The Create mod causes issues in several areas. For example, building an iron farm using UU-Matter requires tons of machines to be even remotely efficient. Let’s say you try using Create instead — that’s also problematic. It gives iron in percentages, and you have to combine fragments, which takes hours. Honestly, you’d gather more iron just by mining. I’ve tested it, and Terra Shatterer is significantly more effective.
Even if you build a Mining Rig Drill, it’s not fully automated. You have to constantly produce and swap out data cards, which doesn’t feel like proper automation. Yes, I’ve played over 300 hours. I’ve built a massive system and I’m the owner of Steampunk City on the main server. You’re welcome to visit and see my farm.
But it seems like some of you enjoy endlessly repeating the same systems. If you say “I farm with Create,” I honestly don’t believe it — the mod constantly causes issues and doesn’t work as intended. I’ve spent countless hours trying to optimize my setup, but overall efficiency stays below 50%. And to scale it up for more output, you need to build a massive system. Building something that huge just to farm iron feels unreasonable.
I’ve researched a lot and couldn’t find a good solution. But if you know one — something simple and truly efficient — then sure, I’d agree there’s no need for a new mod.
In fact, a mod like Productive Bees — or something similar — could actually help reduce server load. We need a more efficient resource pack to lower entity counts. In the endgame, most players shift toward automation. What are you doing, just fighting bosses nonstop?

rule 3 for suggestions applies from <#1387913603126132756>
why ?
willow oracle
read the rule

So does that mean I don’t have the right to make suggestions if I don’t speak English?
willow oracle
Rule 8 of the server #rules means what you write needs to be in english to be considered at all
not our problem nor our fault you cant speak english
and there is other ways to make a suggestion, clearly you didnt bother looking at the #1387913603126132756 otherwise you would have at least prompted the AI to follow those guidelines, which you didnt
and then again your nothing burger of a follow up AI text shows me that you havent been familiarized with the pack as much as you should have since there is multiple ways to increase ore yield, copper pans that are pretty cheap and quick, even create, which, works as it should, just has performance issues, uu matter is also great, not sure what you have against it, doesnt require much for the avg player either, just some know how, MI quarries are also automateable and the yield of those can be multiplied aswell, indrev mining rigs kinda suck, i ll give you that but they give you enough of a resource aswell, not a big deal either

im just trying explain my self correct word and way and this is true way for me
willow oracle
i rather have you write in your own words than with the words of a AI
and again, the mod is forge only, forge mods dont work on fabric
i could bring up how you would know that suggesting a forge mod for fabric also has zero chances of getting added because you simply cant
kind star
okey ı understand
but my suggestion not just produvtive bees nvm
ı have a big farm ı dont need resource
ı have uu matter and create farm ı just write a suggestion for modpack because
farms need so much place and so much machine
like my uu matter farm have 200 recycler and need 200 import and 200 export farm
and ıts not enough for nice loot
my playtime in mmcn server 200 and penguin server 60 hours singleplayer like 50 hours
ı guess ım not yet learned this modpack
willow oracle
you can just use interfaces instead of import and export
that halves it
then again, you shouldnt just use uu matter to make ores and then smelt them
kind star
ı have one question why crimsite not working this modpack ?
ı think crimsite is so good for iron farm
this modpack have crimsite but not have recipe
willow oracle
the nether iron`?
willow oracle
yeah but then again, an alloy forge makes 3 blocks of iron out of 2
and 3 iron out of 2
30% more ores just from that
willow oracle
i ll do it, now worries
