Have you played modded Minecraft? The automation systems there are extremely elaborate, leaving redstone in the dust, and it's been like that for a very long time now.
We've got lua-scriptable actors, we've got elaborate Redstone circuitry, we're got about six different item transit systems, and several power systems to choose from (I believe RF is the most common one now). We've got machines for automating just about everything, and IIRC, we can finally build moving structures again.
We've got at least two magic systems, if not more, endgames of your choice, and many dimensions to pick from.
And all of it plugs together, and you can pick and choose exactly what you want and customize it to your specification.
