From the creator of Brass and a couple other reasonably successful modpacks comes an entirely new experience: Rotary Skies!
You wake up and look at your floating rock of dirt. It seems so familiar, somehow, but then a massive meteor screams through the sky overhead. Welcome to Rotary Skies!
Rotary Skies is the authorized Rotarycraft-centered Skyblock modpack. The start seems similar enough, but as soon as you get steel, a whole world of engines, gearboxes, grinders, pumps, and centrifuges opens up!
Work through over eighty quests as you go from cobblestone generators to fusion reactors! The quests guide you but don’t hold your hand. They’ll tell you what you need to do next, but not exactly how. In Rotary Skies, the “how” is the fun part!
There is no sieving in this modpack! What are you, some kind of caveman? No, until our liquefaction machines and centrifuges are up and running, we hunt for ores in the nether, like men (or other strong, mighty genders)!
We also keep bees, and by “keep bees” I mean selectively-breed and genetically-modify bees in our quest for the uberbiene: the ultimate bee! We’ve also got trains and stuff, so that’s cool.
Eventually the day will come where we will obtain the elusive and mysterious Crystal, allowing us to escape from our Sky Island and into pocket dimensions of our own creation, full of resources and incredible creatures.
I'm big on the cult of the old. I'd rather play one game ten times than ten games one time, and I think that if a game can't hold up to at least five plays it isn't worth owning. Of course, if other people want to spend their money on that kind of stuff, it's fine, but I like to keep my collection small and replayable. In my opinion, the best board games get better with repeated plays because that's when you can really get into the strategy.
Side note, but I also really hate the idea of legacy games where you just have to throw the thing out once you're done.
