Because I'm crazy and bored I'm downloading GTNH with no idea what I'm doing. Any actually helpful beginner tips?

So, I was just thinking "I keep seeing mention of this Gregtech New Horizon" so I found the most mentioned modpack I have ever seen KNOWING it will be not good for a beginner.


Any tips for me to help my early game and figuring things out?

Playing Stoneblock 4 and i was wondering of what methods early game i could use for earning credits

I like to move at a slow pace, mostly just hoping between little projects as i think about them, and a mob farm is, as far as i can tell the earliest renewable source of credits through the quests, although there is a "cool down" for those quests, it takes a Real day, and i would like to be able to go abit faster than 50 credits a day, is there a reasonable way to gain credits at a faster pace?

Is there a balanced Parasite mod that doesn't destroy the landscapes of your entire world? (Unrelated image)

As a Random things fan, This perfectly describes my opinion on the portable mobs mod.

Stone block 4 : Is replica super op ?

I just built the basic stuff for replica and it feels like it will make so many things redundant.Does this ruin the pack like old projectE transmutation if I use it?

Are there any mod or modpack niches you feel are underfilled?

I've seen the sentiment that 'modpacks are dead' around, and while most of that seems to stem from there not being a 'stable' version for modders to settle on due to Mojang's modern update structure, I also get the impression that some people believe there isn't anything substantially new or different to be made anymore.

I'd like for that to be wrong.

So what areas do y'all feel still have room to be explored? What concepts could still be executed better?


 

One opinion I've found myself agreeing with is the idea that there aren't any good dimension mods being made, and that the older good ones (Aether, Twilight Forest) are feeling tired. Of course, some people chip in on those conversations to say that dimension mods were never good. Still, maybe that's an area to be improved in?

Worldgen Mods (Terrain, Biomes) tailored for survival over screenshots

Hi. I'm sure we're all familiar with minecraft's most popular worldgen mods. Some add massive beautiful mountain ranges, some add hundreds of new fascinating biomes, while some sprinkle some life into the world with many different interesting structures.


But many of them have the same big problem: They chase aesthetics over usability. They're simply incompatible with survival worlds (although people still try to play with them):

* The beautiful landscapes and mountain ranges are only cool from afar, but up-close they're barren, ugly, boring, annoying to traverse and aren't really compatible with any structures, even vanilla ones, since there are zero changes to make the structures spawn properly on the modified terrain
* The colorful new biomes often disregard the most basic features such as allowing animals to spawn in them or... at least letting you make a crafting table with the new wood, or in fact make ANYTHING with the two extra digits on the page count in the JEI catalog. And don't even get me started on Terralith and the underground campfires in its Yellowstone biome...
* The structures have the exact same problem - They don't work. I remember a particular mod - not sure what it was, just that it added a few new village types. For short, when I entered one of the houses, I noticed the floor was made out of... Cabinets (or was it barrels?). You couldn't right click anywhere on the floor without opening a storage interface. The author built the floor out of cabinets to add texture, but did not consider the implications of it.

So, are there any worldgen mods you know of that actually... work? Not just to fly around with an elytra, but explore the world on your own two feet (or a horse) and have a normal playthrough on?
