This modpack is still in development (Alpha), so there may be some flaws, imperfect balance, or minor bugs. It will be gradually improved over time to ultimately provide the most engaging and fulfilling gaming experience. You've been warned!

Greetings, traveler!

I see you've spent a long time searching for a world you'll enjoy. Would you like to take a look at ours? It's certainly not lavish here, and guests are rare, but it's peaceful enough to fully immerse yourself in the study of the Universe and Science. Here you can travel from the origins of civilization to distant stars, discovering the world's deepest secrets.

I hope our humble corner will satisfy your thirst for knowledge.
And if you encounter any difficulties, notice an anomaly, or simply get bored, don't hesitate to contact us. We will help in any way we can.

And may your soul be in harmony, traveler.

What is this modpack about?

Imagine that human history is not just the dusty pages of a textbook, but a ladder you personally walk.

Seven Eras of Development: You will begin with the primitive Antiquity, where every creation is valuable. You will pass through the dark Middle Ages, the roar of the Industrial Age, crack the code of the Information Age, and break out into Space, to ultimately become something more than human in the era of the Future.
But this is not a straight corridor. Technologies from different periods intertwine, and quests merely gently guide you, allowing you to decide which branch of this tree you wish to ascend.

Is this hardcore? — No. This is an engineering sandbox.
Here, you don't have to try not to starve to death on the second day or spend 40 hours smelting a single iron ingot. The build deliberately doesn't strive for "survival realism." It strives for thinking realism. The hardest part here is understanding how the systems work. But once you do, you can build almost anything. We emphasize creativity, engineering, and imagination, not grindy crafting.

And what about fun! Be sure to come see the geese massacre the village! Or maybe Encierro, the boar?

Technical Recommendations 💻

While the modpack is fairly well optimized, 300 mods is a significant number.

❗ Minimum System Requirements:

Processor: Intel i5-3xxx gen | i3-7xxx
RAM: 5 GB (dedicated)

✅ Recommended:

Processor: Intel i5-10400 | i3-12100 | i7-8th
RAM: 8 - 10 GB (dedicated)

P.S. You can play with any hardware, but the better your hardware, the higher your FPS, and the more enjoyable the game will be.

[i] For the G1 GC, it's best to allocate more memory; for the CMS, slightly less is acceptable (but this may increase CPU load).
