Mercury 2 – Explore. Build. Conquer.
Refined.

Mercury 2 is the fully refined evolution of Mercury 1 — the same realism-driven exploration and colonization experience you loved, rebuilt from the ground up to be leaner, sharper, and truly focused.

What's New in Mercury 2 

Mercury 1 was our first step, and thanks to your support it reached over 1,200 downloads. But it carried a lot of weight it didn't need. Mercury 2 is the result of a deep rework:

• Weapons mods removed — Mercury has never been about combat gimmicks, so they're gone.
• Complex late-game tech removed — Mekanism, generators, reactors and similar heavy industrial mods have been cut. They never fit the realism and colonization identity of the pack.
• Around 100 unnecessary and heavy mods removed overall — no more bloat, no more clutter, just what the experience actually needs.
• World generation rebuilt from scratch — new terrain generation tuned for exploration and immersion.
• Optimization rebuilt from scratch — a leaner modlist, lower RAM usage, better FPS, and much better stability, even on modest hardware.

The result: the same soul as Mercury 1, in a far better body.

At the Heart of It All: MineColonies

MineColonies is, and has always been, the core of the Mercury experience. Design, manage, and grow a living settlement with real NPC workers, defend it from threats, unlock tech trees, and watch your colony evolve from a handful of huts into a thriving town.

Mercury 2 isn't about combat or endgame tech grinding — it's about thriving in a realistic, immersive, and rewarding world.

Key Features 

• Deep Colonization — Build and manage your colony from scratch with MineColonies: assign workers, defend your borders, and grow your settlement into a true civilization.
• Immersive Exploration — Discover custom structures, hidden ruins, dungeons, and diverse biomes across a freshly generated, realistic world.
• Focused Automation — Build and automate with Create, kept lean and purposeful, without unnecessary industrial complexity.
• Stunning Visuals — Shader support (Oculus + Rubidium), distant terrain rendering, and refined lighting for a genuinely beautiful world.
• Rebuilt Performance — A carefully rebuilt optimization setup for smooth gameplay, even on lower-end PCs.

Designed For

• Players who love city-building and long-term strategic planning.
• Adventurers chasing vast, mysterious worlds to uncover.
• Builders and tinkerers who want automation without unnecessary bloat or combat distractions.
• Anyone who tried Mercury 1 and wants the same experience, done right.
