Hi, I'm astralfields (he/him), formerly (and sometimes still) known as suchtie. I am German but pretty good at English too.

I have been playing Minecraft since 2009, joining in on the fun right about when Survival Test was created. Though I largely ignored survival mode through Indev and Infdev, I never went back to Classic once Alpha released, prompting me to finally buy the game. So yeah, I've been around since basically forever. Playing vanilla survival at first, I was interested in modding since its early days. I played the original Technic Pack and Tekkit when it came out, but somehow missed the original Feed the Beast map. Still, modpacks quickly became my go-to gaming experience once they started to become a thing, and I never stopped playing them. A large part of my time in modded Minecraft was spent in a successful private server community and its high-quality private modpacks. Sadly, said community is currently dying off, although I still play together with some of their members. Recently I even created my own modpack that I'm currently playing with them! I do play solo as well, although it's never quite as fun as playing on a small community server.

I am a tech mod nerd and generally not very interested in magic, with the sole exception of Astral Sorcery, which is currently my favorite mod. Automation and compartmentalization is my forte - I strive to be able to do pretty much anything in AE2 or RS and love making different tech mods work together to create something larger than the sum of its parts. As an avid Linux user, I even employ the Unix Philosophy in modded Minecraft: "do one thing, and do it well". However, while I do have a faible for good aesthetic design, I am not a very original or creative person, so you'll often see me take inspiration from other players' builds, modifying and combining their designs with my own ideas.

My GOAT mod is probably Logistics Pipes in its 1.7.10 iteration. However, if Integrated Terminals and Crafting get worked on to be more fleshed out and less weird and glitchy, it might eventually take that spot.

Wiki work
Stuff I've written:
 * Getting Started (Logistics Pipes)
 * Redstone Flux
 * Ender IO

Todo list (read: things I want to do, but I won't guarantee I'll ever actually get around to doing them):
 * fully document Ender IO due to the currently abysmal state of the official "wiki" (subpar GitHub page)

Trivia
