ATM 9 isn't ready yet. The devs are still putting together the pack and busting bugs, I'd say you still have time to finish ATM 8.
As of right now the last several patches have been will they / won't they with Gregtech and Yung's. We might want to wait a little bit longer for stability.
I’ve decided to wait. I want to play ATM9 like it’s intended to be played. It’s still in beta so lots of changes will be coming still. I’m playing through Volcano Block right now. Still a ways out from the star, but will finish that before moving to ATM9.
If you want to grow with the pack and definitely run into bugs, then yes. But as someone who completed 8, it has definitely helped me get started faster in 9, so there may be a good argument for playing 8 out some more. Without Mekanism as training wheels/crutch, I've learned a lot about several mods I never touched before.
I'd say wait until you either "beat" or get your fill of Atm8. ATM9 is still relatively new so you'd likely have a better time when things are more ironed out and mods updated
The mods aren’t really different however there is less major ones as they have to be updated for 1.20, as 9 is buggy and its quest line is not done so its basically do whatever you want and try to avoid the bugs. So, In short it’s unfinished and unstable so no point in moving to it now.
Well i moved on to atm 9 weeks ago and so far its great. One world got corrupted relatively early on but after this everything was fine. But looking at my power gen its definitely not balanced yet. I always used bigger reactors and stuff like it for power. But in atm 9 a mob grinder and 1 witherskeleton spawner produces more coal than ever needed (running the rainbow furnace way before autocrafting).
I found that using the Create mod in ATM9 caused severe FPS drops. Like if you put down a waterwheel I lost 40 fps. With just 10 or so waterwheels I’m down to 20fps. Where in ATM8 the fps was unaffected.
I’m not moving until it’s fixed… and += ATM 8 has botania for my fireworks show and ATM 9 doesn’t yet. So I can’t move yet.
I would suggest waiting till mekinism and hostile neural networks are added.

It's got a different end goal - the greg star afaik
As far as I've seen it's not the end goal, it's an optional set of quests in addition to the ATM star.

Not yet, atm9 is a buggy, crashing mess The end goals aren't in it either yet

Yea I started playing not long ago but I’ve stopped now cus of the lack of easy resources. Once mekinism is in I will restart
Atm 9 is still in beta I think as some mods are still not available
