The Age of Technological Progression - Modpacks

Welcome to The Age of Technological Progression a Hardcore Expert mode mod pack that will test you to your limits. You start off in a Harsh world full of natural disasters and smarter mobs that can destroy a poorly designed base. Getting wood is now 10 times harder requiring you to get leather which is more complicated to obtain than in vanilla and pickaxes have been removed form the early/mid-game to make way for a more complicated mining system using dynamite (Not vanilla TNT).

Because this is an Expert mode mod pack almost all the recipes that you were familiar with do not exist any more and/or were changed. No worries, you will be rewarded as you progress eventually being able to go into space, Build your own army, Make nuclear bombs and other overpowered weapons, Battle overpowered bosses, Create overpowered machines like the Terraformer(A devise that can regenerate areas of the overworld with whatever biome combinations you want) and Create your own dimension. Your ultimate goal however is to get into creative mode without doing /gamemode or any other means of cheating (This is something that only a Pro modded Minecrafter can accomplish)

(If you do manage to get into creative mode without doing /gamemode or any other means of cheating say so in the comments and ill put your username right here>[ ] Turning your difficulty to peaceful or taking advantage of duplication bugs counts as cheating!)

[Note: I worked hard on getting rid of duplication bugs however a few may have slipped through so I'd like it if you reported any you find in the comments. :)]

===============================

The primary goal of this mod pack is to give players a unique Hardcore survival experience with as much realism as possible while still keeping the game fun.
[Yes I have played many of the popular modpacks (FTB Infinity, Sevtech:ages, ETC...)
and I thought most of them were boring/too easy hence why I created this one.]

===============================
Features as of version 4.3:
1: Tons of custom recipe changes made to give you a better playing experience.

2: A customized mining system. (inspired by the Siberia Mod)

[Pickaxes have been removed from the early/mid-game]

[You need to use dynamite to get ore(replaces vanilla TNT recipe)]

[It is still possible to get TNT]

[All the stone types have been given physics so cave-ins are possible]

3: A self sustaining Ecosystem.

[Trees slowly spread die and rot](Harder Wild Life)

[Rotten trees fall over and turn into dirt]

[Dirt can slide making it possible for trees to fill creeper/nuclear bomb craters]

[Animals can breed without any player interaction](Harder Wild Life)

[Animals can die of old age/starvation etc... (it takes a long time however)](Harder Wild Life)

4: Custom rock layers and ore placement similar to real life. (PFAA)

5: A progression system that locks certain block/items until you complete certain tasks. (Inspired by Sevtech: Age's progression system)

6: An Advanced Space Exploration system. (Advanced Rocketry)

7: Realistic Water and Lava (Realistic Fluids)

8: Tons of my own custom generated structures.
9: Most of the useless resources are no longer useless.

[Some of PFAA's ores were given a use in the mid to late game]

[Some of the useless materials were made into important crafting ingredients]

10: Seasons and Realistic weather.

[Yes seasons actual seasons(spring/summer/fall/winter)]

[Snow falls in the winter and melts in the summer]

[Localized weather]

[Tornadoes! :D]

[I changed lock vanilla weather to "don't lock" so that snow will still fall during the winter however when vanilla rain is happening storms are more common rather than global rain/snow]

11: An advanced Tech tree that rewards you for making it further into the game.

12: Lots of Easter Eggs for you to discover.

13: A deeper world: (Inspired by deeper caves)

[Some dimensions are stacked on top of each other and must be accessed by breaking the bottom layer of bedrock and jumping into the void]

[Warning: Only the overworld and nether have dimensions under them so don't think you can jump off the end and survive.]

[All the dimensions under the overworld/nether are stacked so you can make some pretty deep mine shafts provided that you have a bedrock breaking tool.]

14: A semi-customized world generator.

15: Mobs can actually destroy a poorly designed with a combination of 2 different AI mods :)

(I'd recommend building your 1st base on top of a tree or on stilts or something)

16: Over 170 custom quests. (Hardcore Questing Mod)

[Note: This picture was taken when I was still making the quests.]

17: Nuclear Bombs and reactors.(HBM's nuclear tech)
18: The ability to make your own custom Ships,Airships,Spaceships,Dimensions and doors.
19: Limited amount of lives and the ability to craft extra. (Hardcore Questing Mod)
20: An Extended end game(Draconic Evolution)

21: The Ability to create your own army (You need the Carpentry bench to craft every thing related to army building) :D

[Craftable NPC's that will fight for you]

[NPC's are divided into 8 factions: "6 normal factions and 2 special factions"]

[NPC's of different factions will fight each other to the death :D]

[Factions: Normal:"Team Green,Team Red,Team Black,Team Yellow,Team Pink,Team Blue" Special: "Herobrine,Bison(Don't ask)"]

[Warning: You have to craft a team chooser NPC first or all the craftable NPC's will kill you]

22: The difficulty keeps getting harder and harder the longer you play. (Difficult Life)

23: Wildfires and floods that very slowly destroy your world.

An example of how your world can get destroyed by a wildfire:

[Note: It is extremely rare for a wildfire to get this big so your base should be safe for now :)]

[Note: A 5 block high 4 block thick cobblestone wall surrounding your base should be sufficient protection against both wildfires and floods :D]

24: The ability to block all the natural disasters that I included in this pack with the cost of Expensive Resources.
(I Turned off tornadoes aiming at you when they spawn so that the storms will go in the direction of the wind rather than come straight at you every time a tornado spawns)

[Note: I Strongly advise allocating at least 7GB of memory before playing this pack]

[Note: I Highly recommend installing Optifine for the best Experience.]

[Note: In the unlikely event of a recipe conflict you can use the worktable to make whatever your trying to craft]
===============================

Fastcraft enhances Minecraft with increased performance.
