 We want to make use of a custom fork of MCHELI, developed to integrate into our pack. Vehicles will help players to move around the map and conduct sieges. It may not come with WF2, as it will be a challenge to refactor.

 Resources will be given very generously and infrastructure will be easy to set up, and in-game challenges will be tailored towards quick-thinking and high performance instead of endurance (grind).
 Combat balance is very important to us. Every item and system will be designed and improved with more tactical combat experience in mind. We take a hard stance against creative flight, buff stacking, teleportation, insane armor values and other game breaking features that have commonly been seen in other commonly used packs. Guile gives far greater rewards than material advantages.

 ==== Suppliers ====
 Special multiblocks called suppliers will allow bases to bolster their defenses. Multiblocks will require a steady supply of quality food to increase the defense factor of a certain area, about 3x3 chunk area (will only work on claimed chunks). For a buff to be applied, it must be done while not under siege. The machine will refuse to buff the base if it was turned on after the siege started. Machines will increase their strength depending on the amount of food supplied. Type of food item will be determined by faction tier, lower tier factions will require lower tier foods, while high tier factions will require high quality foodstuffs. The amount of claimed chunks will also increase the amount of food required.

-The main idea behind the Steam Age is the idea of “Subtiers”. Within the age which are used to bring new mechanics and ideas to the table to differentiate it from other packs. As the Steam age is notoriously boring and in Warfactory 1 we completely avoided it, opting for a removal of the steam age.
+Steam age is the biggest thorn in GT's design. It suffers from issues that we specifically want to avoid in our modpack

	Low voltage will unlock AE2 as we recognize that this mod is inseparable with GT due to its Gregtech’s complexity ramping up as soon as player gets to later stages. Early AE2 will empower the team to produce larger and more complex factories, as they won’t feel they need to wait until they reach AE2 (common issue with ~~GTHN~~). This may make people think this will kill complexity, which is why we opt to enable keep channels enabled.

			Not much needs to be changed in MV, I do believe it's probably one of the most fun tiers in GT. Adding on, GCYL doesn't make many changes to it main ones being the circuit manufacturing and the gold line. There will also not be any HBM content in this tier, aside from potentially a very low yield SEMTEX recipe.

	Not much has to be changed as, a large chunk of the more insufferable parts of GCYL are in the late game. Most prominent examples of which are things such as Bromine and Indium. Which only become a major concern around the time of Luv+.		Not much has to be changed as, a large chunk of the more insufferable parts of GCYL are in the late game.

After everything is sorted out, all the members of each respective team will be added, and if there are still server slots there will be a google form setup for invitations.

			The prevailing idea is that once the pack reaches LuV, the devtest will occur. As it is not a traditional event, the server will have very specific win conditions. Those being finishing LuV and obtaining the Crystal Mainframe. This will be akin to the "Science Victory" in Civ6.

			A concern when it comes to GCYL is that, due to the large amount of tile-entities present. This will hopefully be addressed in the devtest, which will give further insight on what to do when it comes to conserving tick time.

			An idea to solves this would be, after someone makes a line, said line can be done on a single multi akin to what GTNH does with it's Quantum Force Transformer or what GCYL does lategame with it's chemplant.
