                      ✦ a Xiaoxiang world

One open, three-dimensional void holds the real Solar System - the planets in their real order, with the real gaps between them at 10,000 blocks to the astronomical unit (Earth to Mars is 5,200 blocks, Uranus to Neptune 108,800), and each planet its real size against the others: Earth 640 blocks across, Jupiter 7,000. Only the Sun is held smaller - at its true size it would swallow Mars. 🌞

And every Xiaoxiang world hangs among them, each where it fits - the Spirit Moon beside Earth's own Moon, Ashfall circling Jupiter, Sporemoor round Saturn, Frostvein round Uranus, the Immortal Realm farthest and highest of all. ✨

🔭 True size from wherever you are - every body hangs at its true size from where you float, the nearest largest, lit from the Sun's side, the worlds with air wrapped in a glow of it, over a sky of two thousand stars
🛩️ Everyone flies - space has no ground to stand on, so every player flies there: forward is wherever you look, twenty blocks a second, a hundred while you sprint
🪶 Weightless, and no floor - you weigh nothing in space, and it has no floor to fall through: the system reaches far above and below its plane
💾 Light on your save - a flight across the system crosses countless chunks of empty space, and not one of them is written to your save

〔ORBIT II〕 🪐 Four Worlds To Land On

Dive into a world and you come down onto its land - and four of them are open to walk, each with its own ground, its own pull and its own air, gas by gas. 🌍

	World	Its ground	Its pull	Its air
🌕	The Moon	grey dust over andesite	about a sixth of home	none - space's black sky overhead
🔴	Mars	red sand over terracotta	about two fifths of home	a thin breath, nearly all carbon dioxide
💠	The Spirit Moon	moss over prismarine	a fifth of home	none - space's black sky overhead
🟢	The Jade Giant	grass over deepslate	nearly twice home	thick air of nitrogen and oxygen

⚖️ Feel the weight - everything living weighs what its world says: bound across the Moon, jump low on the Jade Giant
🌅 Skies the colour of their air - Mars and the Jade Giant under skies tinted by their own air; the Moon and the Spirit Moon under space's own, the stars out all day
🛬 Down gently - you keep flying after a dive until your feet touch the ground, so no landing is a fall
🛑 The rest hold you at their sky - fly at the Sun, a gas giant or a world not yet open to landing and you are held, safe, at the edge of its sky

              the Overworld, or any world you land on

No screen at all, either way. Fly up past 600 over the Overworld - or over any world you can land on - and you are in space just past that world's sky, over the spot your column lies under. Fly into a world in space and you come out 550 over its land, under the very point you dove at. 🌠

🧭 Your way comes with you - your speed, the way you face and whatever you ride all cross with you, turned to the new world: a dive goes on downward, a climb goes on outward
🔁 Up and back at the same spot - a world's land is laid over its sphere, so rise out of it and dive back where you rose and you come down on the same ground

〔ORBIT IV〕 🌠 Skies That Turn

The Overworld and every world you can land on have the others in their sky, turning by one world clock - a minute of it for every minute the world runs, an Earth year a thousand of them, the Moon round Earth in seventy and the Spirit Moon in ninety. ⏳

🌍 Over the Overworld, Mars and the Jade Giant - every other body rises, crosses and sets where it is truly seen from there, the nearest largest: whole at night, fainter by day, dimmer in rain. The game's own sun stays the day's lamp, and over the Overworld the game's moon is Earth's own Moon - neither is drawn twice
🌑 Over the Moon and the Spirit Moon - no air, so space's own black sky: the stars and every body, seen from the top of that world and turning by the same clock
🌌 Out in space - every body hangs at its own fixed place, the place you fly to, the same every day
🌕 Look up tonight - Mars and the Spirit Moon cross the Overworld's sky

〔ORBIT V〕 🗺️ The Star Chart

Four paper round a compass - and the whole system in your hands. 🌠 Use it: the Sun burns in the middle, every planet's orbit is a ring and every world a dot moving along its own by the same clock as the skies, its moons circling with it and Saturn in its rings. Hover over a dot for its name. The rings are laid out by distance, so Mercury's and the Immortal Realm's both fit, and the wheel zooms in up to ten times; the minute of the world clock shows at the top, and the game runs on while you read.

Run time ahead. x10, x100 and x1,000 set the whole system turning ten, a hundred or a thousand times as fast - on the chart alone, the world untouched - and x1 brings it back to the world's own pace. ⏩

     a slice of the seventy  ·  ·· is not in the Codex
     Fe, Cu and Au are the game's own; the crucible refines the rest

Seventy real elements of the periodic table, each with its symbol, family, colour, melting class and traits. Iron, copper, gold and carbon are the game's own; the other sixty-six are refined in the Alloy Crucible from the stones of the worlds - each stone holds a family of elements, and the grade of spirit stone you feed the crucible chooses which one comes out. 🧪

Ten exotics belong to this mod alone: Void Core, Starlight Iron, Qi-Silver, Heavenfire Copper, Mirror Orichalcum, Nullstone, Moonsilver, Thunder Jade, Phoenix Ember and Abyssal Pearl.

From them come eighty base alloys - sixty real ones, from bronze and stainless steel to Inconel and single-crystal superalloy, and twenty fantastical, up to the finest alloys of alloys - each made plain and steeped with every one of the cultivation world's forty-five spirit stones: 3,680 alloys, every one an item of its own, named by rule and painted in its own colour. ✨

Alloy Crucible	Heat	Speed
🟩 Low-grade	1,600	100%
🟦 Mid-grade	2,500	150%
🟪 High-grade	3,500	200%
🟨 Supreme	5,000	300%
⬜ Immortal	8,000	500%

🔥 The Alloy Crucible works by heat and time on any furnace fuel: four inputs, a fuel and a result. The two highest ask for parts of fine alloys - the Supreme one a coil and plates, the Immortal one a core and gears
⚙️ Ten kinds of parts - plate, rod, wire, coil, gear, bearing, casing, lens, core and spring - pressed from the ingots of any one alloy, each keeping the alloy and grade it was made from
📘 The Alloy Codex, a book (a book and an iron ingot): every element and the stone it is refined from, the table family by family, the exotics and their traits, the naming rule, the crucible's grades and every part - in the reader's own language

The Overworld is still the Overworld - but now it looks like a cultivation world! 🌸 Twelve new biomes take their share of the land beside the old ones:

🌼 Flower Sea Plains carpeted in flowers of every colour, a Tall Grass Steppe and a Short Grass Meadow
🎋 a Bamboo Sea packed so close the light comes green
🌲 five dense forests - Jade Pine, Spirit Maple, Ancient Cedar, Plum Blossom and Mist Willow - each with its own wood, leaves and sapling
🍄 Giant Mushroom Glades of mushrooms twenty to forty blocks tall, and wide Long Shores of sand
🌳 and the Heaven-Piercing Woods

In the Heaven-Piercing Woods the giants grow 80 to 200 blocks tall, the tallest past the clouds. Round the trunk of the first of each pair stands a two-room tree house with a chest of what its owner left behind, a lookout hollowed into its crown, one ladder from the roots through both - and a rope bridge from the house's door to a landing round the second giant. 🌉

Four new flowers bloom across the new land - Dawn Orchid, Ember Peony, Moonpetal and Sunbell - and every new wood saws into planks and burns as the game's own do. The sect settlements, ores and beasts of the cultivation world reach the new biomes too. Every biome can be switched off or made larger or smaller in the settings - reaching only land not yet explored.

〔DOCKING〕 💾 Older Worlds Open - And Nothing Is Lost

Void Incursion's space is made new - its worlds and its Star Chart are its own, and nothing is taken out of Realm Expansion. 🌠

💤 Realm Expansion's older space sleeps - its Xiao System and every world in it wait on disk, untouched, and every block and item of it stays in the game; it wakes only if Space is switched on, under Asleep Or Awake on the Space page of Realm Expansion's Xiao Universe settings
🏠 Nobody is left in a sleeping world - a player saved in one comes home once to the Overworld's spawn, on the ground, with one line in chat
🗝️ A save always opens - a save that names a world of a mod you have removed opens all the same: that world is passed over, its ground kept on disk for the day the mod comes back, and anyone standing in it comes home to the Overworld's spawn
🧱 The building sets and the air stay in Realm Expansion - the spiritual building sets work there as they always have, and the air of sealed rooms - the Air Array, the Air Gauge and the Airlock Frame - is Realm Expansion's too, asleep with its space

〔ON THE HORIZON〕 🔭 What Is Coming

The next leap is already being charted:

🌍 More worlds to land on - the other Xiaoxiang worlds, and Venus, Mercury, Titan, Europa and Io (work in progress)
🌅 Skies of their own for the worlds with air (work in progress)
🗺️ Fast travel, a course set on the Star Chart (work in progress)
🔭 Telescopes that name the world they look at (work in progress)
🌱 Terraforming, and breathing by each gas of a world's air (work in progress)
🌬️ The sound of the air rushing past on the way down (work in progress)
