The Cyndustries List

as someone whose modular grew too fast (the "crack" effect) and which 
as a result has had more direction changes than if i'd thought about 
it beforehand, i'd DEFINITELY advise starting small. that way you'll 
learn to do more with less, and you'll know your modules really well.

it's amazing what some people can do with just a few modules, and 
there's no real incentive to get creative if you have too much gear.
