1st GTNH Playthrough; MV Reached

[torn canopy]

I've been working through GTNH for the first time and have had a blast with it so far. Thought I'd share a few pictures from the process. I'll start with my little workshop that took me from Steam to LV!!

Then of course my first ore washing station!

And who can forget my first bunker in the stone age...

The little setup I had outside my LV workshop to keep the inside looking nice.

First coke farm with my BBFs

And finally, the start to my MV workshop. Stilla large work in progress.

This is rad. Your base design and shader setup has a "peaceful place to live in" vibe to it. I look forward to seeing how the MV area shapes up

Thank you ^_^

I am using Sildur's Vibrant Shaders. I may have to decrease settings a bit later to avoid ticking but for now I can get a smooth 60 FPS.

Nice! Hopefully that day is a ways off. One thing I can say is that even if performance starts to dip in HV/pre-AE2 EV due to trying crazy automations with less optimized mods (which I still do every run and have fun with), performance actually gets better as AE2 takes over and more options for automating things become available. I see lots of people still running shaders in endgame setups with decent enough frames, so it really is amazing how optimized this pack is

I haven't gotten into AE2 too much since I saw I needed HV stuff like Titanium. That said, I'm probably going to get into it pretty soon so that works out ^_^
