Technology

Once you get into building tech, Mekanism is a very nice mod for providing many useful machines. This includes ways to multiply your ore into many ingots (x2, x3, x4, and x5). Start with a Heat Generator then add a Metallurgic Infuser. Then you'll need to build a Crusher and then a better power source. Making a Bio-generator is useful (it runs on potatoes!).

Further Resources

Once you have those, use the wiki (http://wiki.aidancbrady.com/wiki/Main_Page) to help you discover what else you may want to build.

Use advanced tech from Actually Additions and Extra Utilities as well.
