I added Mekanism to a modpack because I needed a way to produce forge energy for another mod, and while it's a very interesting mod I never made much use of it. I had no use of anything more powerful than windmills and solar panels, which is a shame because I'd love to actually build the more advanced stuff like the reactors, but there's not much point in building them if they're just going to sit idle. So if anyone knows of any engaging, practical mods that consume lots of forge energy (or things within Mekanism itself that I'm missing) I'd love to hear it.

Do mekanism do well on its own? After years of playing modpacks I'm starting to enjoy mods one by one with custom modpacks focused solely on one mods. But considering how resource extensive mekanism tended to be in packs, I wonder if mekansim alone can handle its own lategame contents or I need some sort of s support mod to farm for stuffs needed for it.
