System Recommendations:

-It's recommended to allocate 4-6GB of ram for the best performance.

This is done by clicking the 3 dots next to PLAY -> Profile Options -> Uncheck "Use System Memory Settings" -> Adjust the slider as desired.

-You should never need more than 7GB!

Getting Started:

-No Tree Punching mod prevents you from destroying trees without an axe.

-It's essential to find food, water, and shelter as soon as you can.

-Many small structures and ruins are good for getting basic loot.

-Reskillable is used to level up your skills, which will allow you to use better gear and access special abilities.

-Open your quest book by pressing the "~" key! This will help guide you on your first steps to progressing through the modpack.

-Press 'U' while hovering over an item inside your inventory to view it's recipe uses, and press 'R' to see how to craft it! (For anyone new out there) :)

Known Bugs:

When creating a world, RTG will be the default option.
-If you would like to play with default world generation, select the "Biomes O' Plenty" world type, as there is a bug with the "Default" world type causing trees not to be generated in certain biomes. The "Biomes O' Plenty" world type will still generate vanilla biomes as well as modded biomes.

-Playing with other terrain generators like OTG is possible, however you may have structures placed in odd locations due to the nature of certain structure generation mods.

-I do expect some bugs, as I was unable to test everything by myself. Feel free to send a message to Professor_Stink on Curse if you have any concerns or notice something that doesn't seem right!

Multiplayer:

-If you would like to play with friends, be sure your server has around 6GB of RAM to allow for smooth performance.

-If you would like to spawn close to your friends, the spawn radius can be configured inside globalgamerules.cfg. However, editing this could give you a poor spawn location.

-Chunk Pregenerator can be used to avoid worldgen lag, but be warned that this could potentially cause errors with structure generation if you don't allow pre-generation to complete for your specified radius.

-Lastly, enable-command-block=true must be set in your server.properties file or certain structures will not generate correctly and be missing mobs!

SPOILER:

-For more information, check out the spoiler inside the modpack directory /resources/guides/progession_spoiler.txt. I recommend trying it out yourself first and only checking the spoiler if you get stuck!
