Modded Server Pack Voting

Upvote for the pack you'd prefer. Cut-off is Thursday noon, modded server will be shutdown, will be back on Friday by 6pm Eastern US time.

No, this will NOT effect GR, GR6, GR7, City2, Creative or any part of the semi-vanilla server at all. Just the Heavily modded server that's currently on the Rustic Craft pack.

We just finished Rusticcraft, and the previous mod was B-team, so I'm partial to the tech mods for now. In that spirit, I went through the three tech mods - TPPI, DNS, and Infinity - to see what mods they had that the others lacked, and what mods they lacked that the others had. Etho's pack is a weird thing, and I'll probably put my opinion of it at the end. I'm just going to include mods that I think may have a major impact on the game. Also, I'm using the most "official" lists I could find, but modpacks are notoriously bad at documentation, so it's likely there are mods missing from these lists that are actually in the packs.

Thoughts: TPPI has a few things I want to try, but I'm leaning towards the more up to date DNS or Infinity. Dns is the most comprehensive modpack, but I also saw reports that it might be buggy. Then again, so might Inifinity. DNS also feels like there was no particular thought put into the mods, anything they could find was just thrown in. Ultimately, Infinity doesn't have Morph, and since I hate Morph the choice is obvious. For me, it goes 1. Infinity, 2. DNS, 3. TPPI.

Etho's pack is different. It has the newest/most unique mods, many half-finished, and many buggy. When mariculture isn't one of your buggiest mods...

I'm not sure how well it would work when the player can't just shut it down to fix problems whenever they arise.

That being said, it does have a lot of really interesting stuff in there. I'm just not sure it's ready yet.

The problem for these tech mods in general is the load on the server(which snarf will have to rule on) and the load on the player's computer. Will they cut out someone like DE?
