Im using BSL Shader, I went for a Laboratory-like Theme so far.

Im currently in LV, I would say im still a Gregtech noob, so far this Modpack is going smoothly.

My mainatnance area under the lab is still unused, but I have it if I need the room for cables and pipes.

My steam production is just 10 HP solar boilers, they do the job, it gets collected in a Steel Multiblock tank.

What is that Bee Creature doing on my Laboratory Wall :3
I also just wanted to show off how Antiblocks can look with BSL, I only had Blue and Green dye on me, so thats what I used

Looking good so far. I also started on expert but got burnt out in about MV and switched to NM.

#

I love the lab theme.

I primarily built with white concrete, that took a large amount of bonemeal for the white dye, you get like 8 blocks per dye and I easily placed over 20 Stacks of them in total (chiseled)

I'm working on a space station style base. Wanted to make it in the space station but it's accessible only around EV so I went with being in the sky over an ocean.

I had the same struggle, my base is mainly from white concrete and korp. It's harder to get the dye until you have phytogenic insulator and make flowers.

#

I went to the nether and collected every bone block I could find, each block gives 9 dye after macerating in the large grinder

#

well, after macerating and extracting, which is a slow progress

#

I couldnt even find the flower that gives white dye

slender viper May 5, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

I'm extracting from flowers and it's on passive, buffering 512 and still isn't full.

ancient helm I couldnt even find the flower that gives white dye

If I remember I went exploring for around 3-4 hours to find it

#

I think ist lily of the valley

#

My Nether spawn location is relatively close to the biomes that spawn the bone-block structures, so I didnt look for the flower for longer than 20 minutes

slender viper I think ist lily of the valley

That name sounds familiar tho

I play with the Shaders always on, Its weird seeing minecraft without BSL after so much playtime with this shader in total across many modpacks.

I will try to remember to post more pictures when I have more to show, next step is finishing the EBF, I already have all coils necessary for the EBF and the pyrolyse oven at least

I started playing with shaders but switched them off because I play on a laptop and my parents didn't like that the fans were blowing as hard as they could in the middle of the night. Since then I only switch on shaders when making pictures of my base.

#

I dont have that limitation, also I have a RX 6700XT it can handle it.
I have to say Im impressed how good modern minecraft can run large modpacks so smoothly even with shaders.

I still remember the days when I had an slow laptop trying to play skyfactory, thr game took like 30 minutes to start and another 20 to join the server, it was horrible

#

But my PC is not silent either when running GPU intensive stuff or CPU intensive stuff, my Ryzen 9 5900X is pushing my Tower cooler when under heavy load, I notice it the most when compiling software on Gentoo Linux

slender viper May 6, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

Mine can handle it too. I have an RTX 4060 and it runs in 3440x1440p with 60 fps without any problems. Just the fans spinning at 7500rpm is a bit loud in the middle of the night.

#

If I turn off the shaders then the integrated graphics is enough.

#

ey bro, really amazing build, can u share ur world download to get soem ideas for base building plz?

ancient helm May 6, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

When im getting to the end of the modpack I will put a download for the world here, as a ending to the progress pics and stuff over the course of my playthrough

#

What you can see in the pictures are really only what i have base-wise.
I could maybe send a world file as a milestone thing when reaching the midgame, depending on how I feel about it then

Progress

#

When working

#

My steam tank doesnt like it, but that is not the problem of current me

slender viper May 9, 2025, 4:13 AM

#

Future me problem.

ancient helm May 9, 2025, 7:41 AM

#

I will propably just build 10 more hp solar boilers

#

if thats not enough, then even more

#

Its cheap enough, I just need to invest in pipes enough

#

I may have to run multiple pipelines depending on the material I will use

#

I also need to offset the fact that the boilers dont really work at night
