djalex234 There is nothing wrong with flattening land and then building out. Most modpacks will require you to re-use your existing infrastructure anyways, so building out from one place and expanding always ensures that your starter stuff is there if you need it. Keep in mind that the huge and well designed bases are “designed,” meaning they required some sort of starter base to plan and get the resources for the final base. You can always start a new base when you reach mid-game or end-game and really plan everything out in a new location.
