Playing Wanderlust Reloaded Minecraft Mod Pack

I started a private server with some friends and we've been having a great time playing Wanderlust.  It's a 1.7.10 pack mixing tech with magic.  The best thing about it is that it's pretty stable!  We're currently on version 1.1.4 and there is a conflict between Ars Magica and Hardcore Ender Expansion so we're avoiding going into the end.  We get crashes on chunk generation in the end.

On this play through, we have decided that we're not going to use portals to get between overworld stops.  We're using railcraft between our bases.  We also made a rule that you can't leave experiments out in the open on the overworld.  No open-air vanilla redstone in-progress projects :)

This focus on travel between bases and no eyesores has lead to the group doing a lot more decorative building.

Spunmunkey started my base location out for me with a really nice stream and two bridges.  The stream actually has water that flows downhill in stages.  I love it!

This nice start has encouraged me to work on a nicer-than-normal buildout.  I used his materials in the buildings you see in the background.  The flat building on the right has my smeltery and chests.  The building on the left is new and empty.  There are stairs on the inside that poke out through the left side and take me onto the roof where I'm starting out my blood magic altar.
