Star Tech

Star Tech 2.0.0 is a MAJOR reworking of the pack! A lot of work has gone into this release to provide a integrated, cohesive and fun experience! Several mods were removed that didn't flow with the theme of the pack, and several more were added as well. World generation has been VASTLY improved and varied (go exploring and see what new things you can find!), inter-mod compatibility has been greatly improved, several recipes have been modified where it made sense to do so (such as to improve compatibility or balance), Many new Quality of Life recipes have been added, more items now work in Compacting Drawers, and much more!

NOTE: Because of the large number of mod changes, a WORLD RESTART is required!

I hope you have as much fun playing this release as I had in making it! If you run across any problems or have any suggestions please let me know on the Issue tracker.
