It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you download Optifine and enable dynamic lighting within settings for the best effect, unless you enjoy suffering in caves with no darkness cap!

Assimilation is Better Together makes a few changes to the normal Scape and Run experience, along with adding a ton of new features inspired by hack-and-slash/exploration games. It greatly increases the player’s mobility with a number of new movement options, and makes the game less punishing while still being difficult. It intends to make the game more fast-paced, rewarding risk taking and fast decision making. With a few multiplayer enhancements, the mod is geared towards a small group of players, although playing on your own is still just as fun. Seek out and slay monsters with your friends to stop the spread of the infection!
