- Modpacks
This mod pack is centered around tech building and transport and combines Immersive Engineering mod with Immersive Railroading mod. JourneyMap is also added to help lay better track routes. Features include Power Generation in forms of waterwheels, windmills, biodiesel and more and many of its machines are multiblocks. It makes tech progression more practical and pragmatic. Furthermore, these tech modifications allow for the construction of railroads with functioning locomotives that require water and fuel to propel steam engines, biodiesel for diesel engines. Including the ability to construct a variety of car types such as passenger, tanks that hold actual fluids, and box cars.
Customize your world with engineering components, additional ores such as Copper, Lead, Silver, and more and tech items such as Pumps, Silos, Furnaces, Drills, and Steam Locomotives!
(Immersive Engineering)
The core of this project is Immersive Engineering. Adding ore blocks that are spawned throughout the worldmap that have unique properties and applications that can be used achieve mechanical purpose using the in-game "engineer's manual" for schematics on available items and blocks.
Overall, it's about realism-inspired technology:
Instead of glowing red tubes, it offers actual, hanging powerlines.
Instead of one block that magically spits out dusts when ore is put in, it offers a crusher, a big multiblock (5x3x3) that features rotating wheels and spits out particles as it breaks the ore.
Instead of a Laser that turns power into magical light and ores, it offers an Excavator, another massive, resource intensive, multiblock (3x7x8) which digs ores out of the ground with a big rotating bucketwheel.
IE is about making tech mods more balanced and more pretty, and adding its own twist by going for retro-futurism (think BioShock, Order 1886, SkyCaptain and the World of Tomorrow) rather than clinical white+grey future cubes.
(Immersive Railroading)
With the Immersive Railroading Mod, you can build steam or diesel locomotives, with several car styles including functional passenger cars. (Note: IE is a dependency for IR)
(From Immersive Railroading Mod)
- Life Sized Movable trains
- In world crafting of the rolling stock
- Crafting of train components (steel block in steam hammer, click on center of gui to choose recipe)
- Place a train frame and then right click with components or wrench to assemble
- Custom flexible track system
- Both Fluid and Item transport
Immersive Railroading is in BETA.
NOTE: JourneyMap Must be downloaded separately due to respective mod author's ToS. Download it HERE.
More mods may be added in the future to maintain the "engineering" play style.
I will not provide server files as you can setup a normal Forge server and copy the mods, config, resources and scripts folders to the server.
