Am I the only one who dislikes AE2?
I decided to bite the bullet and finally try setting up an AE2 system with a crafting terminal, so that I don't have to walk around with a netherite backpack filled to the brim with random shit I find useful once in a blue moon.
Having to find a meteor? Fine, I can do that. I don't even mind using 4 different inscriber presses. But all the microcrafting just to get the most braindead simple setup going? Total horseshit. It takes like 10 different items each with a few steps just to craft what, 3 blocks you need for your first setup?
Now, I understand that AE2 has some incredible capabilities which make stuff significantly easier in the late game, I really do, but if the first step up from vanillas "cut down a tree to make a chest" is "spend an hour crafting random nondenoscript bullshitium parts" then I'm not gonna enjoy it all that much.
It's not even that I don't like tech mods, I fucking love them, but early game GregTech was more enjoyable than the absolute slog that is getting one (1) 4k cell working.
At this point I might as well make a massive cube of chests and connect them all with Toms Simple Storage, not only will it likely be quicker, but also have tenfold more storage than early AE2.
In another modpack I had the pleasure of using Refined Storage and guess what? It worked exactly how early AE2 should work. It took me a few minutes to craft and build everything, I slapped a drive inside, and had digital storage. Was it very basic in terms of capabilities? Sure, but it fucking worked.
Am I just experiencing a skill issue? Yeah, I am. Doesn't mean early AE2 isn't total bullshit. Maybe I'm being overly dramatic because it's late and I'm tired, but the mod still has no business being so tiring to start using.
Is there something I'm missing that'd make this process less painful? Or is my view of the mod not as uncommon as it feels like to me?
