Create: Gridworks

Create: Gridworks is an industrial Create modpack built around power generation, automation, oil processing, rail logistics, and large engineering projects.

The pack is focused on building large systems rather than relying on simple one-block solutions. Create acts as the main foundation, with Create: Power Grid adding electrical generation and transmission, The Factory Must Grow adding oil extraction and heavy industry, and Steam 'n' Rails expanding the logistics side of the pack.

Oil can be extracted using large pumpjack structures, processed through refineries, and used as part of your power infrastructure. Create Ore Excavation also allows other resources to be gathered through permanent industrial setups instead of relying entirely on manual mining.

As your factories grow, Power Grid gives you a reason to build dedicated power plants, substations, and transmission lines instead of producing power directly beside every machine. Railways can then be used to move resources between oil fields, factories, storage facilities, and other parts of your network.

Create: Aeronautics expands things further with large moving contraptions and aircraft, giving you another use for the industrial systems you build throughout the pack.

Gridworks also includes a large selection of building and decoration mods so factories, rail stations, warehouses, towns, and other infrastructure can be built with more variety. Farmer's Delight and Create: Slice & Dice expand food and farming, while additional exploration mods add more biomes, structures, and reasons to travel beyond your main base.

For storage, Tom's Simple Storage and Sophisticated Storage provide centralized inventory access without requiring a separate technology system just to keep large quantities of items organized.

The goal of Gridworks is not to make Create significantly harder, but to give you more reasons to build larger and more interconnected systems. Build an oil field, refine the oil somewhere else, transport it by train, generate power at a dedicated station, and distribute that power across your factories.

How much infrastructure you build is up to you.
