Steamlords

Steamlords is a Kitchen sink modpack that has vertical progression. This modpack has a focus on balance and many overpowered things have been removed, this mostly includes flat buffs like in Botania. Ars Nouveau now has limitations, like the maximum amount of glyphs you can have on a spell.

A lot of early game power generation has been removed, forcing you to one or 2 sources such as, Create New Age.

Ore generation has been changed to mix up gameplay, Vanilla and Modded ores give you half an ingot per ore, like in Create: Above and Beyond. Large amounts of ores can be found in big ore deposits, like Gregtech and Terrafirmacraft.

Progression is separated into Magic and Tech, early game tech will involve Immersive Engineering, while late game tech is focused around Mekanism and Ad Astra. Magic is a similar grind, but early game is centered around Eidolon and late game is centered around Botania and Ars.
