Nomifactory CEu Ep. 13: Nether Travel and a Start for Something HUGE! 

The episodes just get better and better

🔥🔥

Logging on to a modded mc world and just get lost? Not the first time, and will not be your last time either :P Base expansion, considering that machine spamming is gonna be very prevalent it is nice. Not to mention a MV to LV moment would be quite disasterous. You can use chunk claim to alleviate a lot of it, but still. More space is more space, it never hurts. To answer the question at the start, circuit / next material is long term goal. Anything else is short term. You need circuit craft any machine, and you need the material to make machine to craft said circuit. Otherwise nomi's quest book is extensive enough to where it should guide you well. A MV extruder unlock a lot of good recipe, but it need extruder shape. It might be a good idea to have a chest with said shape next to it for ease of access, until you have multiple extruder for each of the the shape, which you can go for if you want. Polyethylene or PE for short is the first real chemical chain in GT. It is very simple for that reason and you can go oil or Bio. Or both. Bio is easier probably and it is also passive (It use sugarcane after all), but is pretty slow. Oil need extra machine, but is a lot faster and you gonna do petrochem anyway. Not a full one but you can do a small setup rn for PE. Generally speaking, you can run numi before having the shulker model (unless it is gated by something i forgot), it just need a bit of manual mining for diamond. Not that much though tbh. Shulker model and Enderman model are the first 2 you should get for PPC, but once done it is a matter of expansion. Prepare some circuit for those too, you will need it.

Nice episode again! I think you still have to search more through the JEI recipe tree and not take the first method you see (it really hurt seeing you crafting rods with a file and a screw with 2 bolts, additionally I think there should already be a cheaper recipe for machine hulls using the assembler(may also be using polyethylene I'm not quite sure there)) But all in all good progress! Keep it up.
