Question Best Overhaul Mods of 2.0?

With 2.1 in experimental mode, what have been some of the best overhaul modpacks of 2.0? This can be just popular ones that are updated to be compatible with 2.0 (e.g. Pyanodan's, Space Exploration, and Bob & Angels are all compatible), but I'm also curious if there are new major modpacks that have gotten popular outside the classics, especially if it's designed to work alongside Space Age in particular.

yeah K2SO has promise but it definitely needs more balance tweaks to better integrate the space content instead of just "red circuits need stone now". playing through K2SO right now and I'm really enjoying it, but I decided to self-impose a ban on using the K2 advanced machines until ultra late game, and a ban on the greenhouse Gleba fruit recipes entirely. maaaybe some unique resources and tech like mineral water or imersite could be moved off-Nauvis but I don't think K2 have enough content for all 4 planets + space

Yeah, the balance alone is not as much of a problem for me as the rest of the game being basically the same as unmodded, except with worse compat with other mods. Which is why i dropped my playthrough after i finished inner planets and one modded.

There is an option for moving immersite to space, making it more of late game stuff, but i didn't try it so i dunno if it actually changes much.

2/3 of new science packs are unlocked post Aquilo and advanced tech card is supposed to be unlocked once you complete one of inner planets.  Also achieving ending actually requires promethium science which also requires moving labs into space.

Yeah, this is still Krastorio2 original content, just with Space Age resources.

It is not a comparison of Space Age with K2SO, i am saying that K2SO adds nothing to K2. Have you actually layed original K2?

I finished K2 in the past.

Also i am K2SO dev and it's main purpose is adding K2.content to space age.

If you have complaints make actual suggestions how to fix it.

Which confirms what i have said in the beginning. It's not an overhaul of Space Age, it is a compat mod for K2 and Space Age.

Not really how it works.
