@aoife Have ya tried the Create mod? There's a lot of moving parts with that. Can make trains and stuff held together with glue.
@aoife Ah, I get what you mean there. I tried to get into a modpack with Create, and that perfectly describes what made me get bored with it. Oxygen seems like a neat game, I should try it some time.
@KateYagi that's not really what i'm talking about
in oxygen not included the colony is like a big organism trying to maintain homeostasis with its environment, while with minecraft mods you don't need to do anything except throw arbitrary shit in a crafting ui for more arbitrary shit out
