Your original home destroyed, you have been sent as a scout to a new land. To set up infrastructure and build the dimensional transposer to send those resources home.

Features:

All villagers have new trades, featuring new villagers to populate your halls

A new progression system, wooden and stone tools are no more, starting from bone, to copper and eventually iron and steel. Diamond is locked until endgame
Youre cursed. It will be hard, you will die, but if you overcome you can become extremely powerful.
Plenty of tools to help along your way, guns ranging from simple pistols, to crossbow rifles to heavy railguns to eviscerate the hoardes of mobs coming for you every night.
Create and Immersive Engineering as the main tech mods, with seamless integration of the two, requiring both to be used in conjuction, with recipe changes, multiblock recipes included.
Expert but not grindy, recipes require more precise parts, but lots of ways to aquire materials. including increased ore vein sizes, easier access to excavator and ore processing. An overhauled recycling system to get back materials
Revamped villages and vanilla structures (plains is currently the only finished village but more are on my roadmap) to integrate more modded aspects into the boring vanilla structures. Completely redone loottables for every chest youll find.
An optional quest system to help along the way with some basic helpful rewards.
A larger more passive questing system involving sending materials to your original dimesion using the dimensional transposer. those include raw and processed metals and gems, lumber, stone and food. Recieving tokens for the quality of what you send, which can be used to recieve rewards from your original dimension who will use what you send to rebuild (use your imagination here they dont actually do anything)
New items, trying my best to add items that only serve purposes, to add more compatibility between mods, add more uses for the machines and to make crafting more interesting, and to incentivize building up big factories.
more endgame content. Etherium is your goal, and extremely powerful ore that can be used to make tools (including a custom knife for farmersdelight) weapons and armor. A custom fuel for the IE generator using magic space dust and materials from the end,and the pwerful vehement coal
New cooking mechanics. food will be difficult to cook now, no longer can you throw a stack of steaks in the furnace and never worry about food again, now you need to work for your food.
much much much more.
