They just get in the way of me trying to reason out fixing the base, making it aggravating when I'm, for example, digging out the wall trying to see where on earth the pipes are going. Not sure why spice of life and slow digging speeds are here, if the focus of the design is on puzzle solving. I don't know if anything else adds that, but it would make the central shafts a lot more comfortable. In EnderIO they have dark steel ladders that climb way faster. It gives an unnecessary oppressive atmosphere to that bottom floor that hides options and areas. If there's a config or mod that can remove the depth fog, that would be really helpful for the intro to the pack. Does the wooden tank just refill on its own automagically? It's gaining water slowly but I have no idea how. I was confused by the setup outside those two issues on top of that, until I (slowly, painfully) dug up the walls around the containers. I built an IE pipe pump, but I couldn't get it to extract the steam from the iron tank. I know the basics of Immersive Engineering, but I still couldn't figure out how to solve the "puzzle" the pack starts with. You're thrown in the deep end at the start. I thought those wooden blocks in front of the computer monitor was just some multiblock IE thing or something. I walked right past most of the resources at first until I hit numpad zero and triggered a basic block identification popup to appear (not sure what is providing it). Please add WAILA or some similar functionality. Mobs and animals are completely (except for dungeons) disabled and the only way to get valuable mobdrops is by searching for custom dungeons on the surface or normal dungeons underground. A (incomplete) story and full (incomplete) ingame instructions are delivered by books and OpenComputers. The surface is a very dangerous place, the custom mod Frostfall adds a temperature system that forces underground survival. The player starts in a medium sized bunker with some resources. Hypothermia is a modpack where you need to survive in a frozen world. It got cold, very cold, temperatures of under -34☌ in the Sahara! Mass extinction, 99.997% of all life on earth dead.

The permafrost melted down to water and methane, lots of methane, blocking the sun under a grey film. Only when the polar caps were melting, that major cities got flooded and countries gut buried after under oceans, we reacted. Temperature differences were proven to be growing, the world was heating up, year after year, but nobody cared. We know that this could cause climate change, we know that we could have stopped this, but our industry was more important than our planet. Years and years of burning fossil fuels, billions of tons of Carbon Dioxide pumped into our once so fresh atmosphere. But we knew to well, that this was going to happen sometime. It's dark here, our once blue pearl transformed into a grey shining snowball.
