WARNING: This modpack is in beta and it is possible but unlikely that some mods might be removed if a serious bug is discovered and there is no other way to fix it, you have been warned.
========================================
This pack is a multiplayer friendly modpack focused making technological progression and warfare!
The pack uses a progression system that consists of Game Stages and FTB Quests. This prevents players from getting too overpowered too fast.
Just about every recipe has been changed to ensure that everything gets progressively harder and more complex as more mods get unlocked. This gives some recipes a sense of realism and provides a more accurate sense of what battles might feel like.
What makes this modpack special is that all progression points are set up in a puzzle. This requires players to stray from the quests provided and find alternate ways to get resources versus being lazy. There are plenty of recipes hidden within JEI that provide more efficiency such as lower costs or faster creation time to assist the player so long as they look. Though not every recipe is unlocked at the start so make sure to always look around with every advancement you make. Some of them are hard to find!
The pack is divided into 6 ages. Each age contains its own unique challenges and milestones on top of being more difficult. Such difficulties are: various mobs spawning naturally that wouldn't before, the requirement to re-design your base to create more efficient set-ups, and much more that will be discovered as you play.
Now, after reading all of that, you could make the assumption that this pack was meant for expert players or at least people who want to sacrifice several days of their life just to play, but the pack is structured to harbor any play style from any player, your experience or skill doesn't prevent you from having fun. Most of the recipe changes happen end-game for creating nuclear weaponry so there will be more then enough time to prepare and learn as you go along.
========================================
NOTES
This modpack uses Game Stages to enforce progression. This means most items are locked until the correct quests are completed. Easier recipes are unlocked to make hard-to-craft or grindy recipes easier so always make a habit of checking JEI. If it's hard, there most likely is an easier solution you haven't found or that will be unlocked later on.
You will not be able to open chests until you have unlocked all the loot contained within them. This only applies to naturally spawning chests so do not fear if you place your own.
This modpack was made by the Astrolands Team (Created mainly by the Lead-Developer Austinsupercar) If you have any issues, bug reports, etc. feel free to join our discord down below and report them to us.
FYI < This in blue This modpack does NOT support adding / removing mods outside of official updates. Any actions to do so will result in us being unable to help. If this occurs and something breaks, uninstall the pack entirely and reinstall it. That will most likely fix all issues but you will probably lose any and all saves. Do this at your own risk.
Estimated completion time: 200 - 500 hours
