Stone to Tech

From primitive survival to advanced engineering — every step must be earned.

Stone to Tech is a progression-driven modpack focused on structured advancement, quest-guided gameplay, and tightly controlled technology unlocks. You begin with almost nothing and work your way through clearly defined stages into complex automation and high-end systems.

This is not a free-form sandbox — progression is intentional.

⚙️ Core Concept

The pack is built around Game Stages, Recipe Stages, and a fully integrated quest system:

• Content is locked behind progression
• Recipes, items, and entire mods unlock step by step
• Advancement is guided through quests
• Progression defines what you can and cannot do

If something is missing, it is not unlocked yet.

🪨 Early Game – Survival First

The early game focuses on survival and exploration:

• No instant resource access (No Tree Punching)
• Limited crafting options
• Exploration is required to progress
• Enhanced world generation (YUNG’s, Regions Unexplored)

You are expected to struggle — and overcome it.

⚙️ Mid Game – Systems & Automation

Progression opens the door to mechanical systems:

• Create introduces rotational power and automation
• Tinkers' Construct expands tool crafting
• Infrastructure becomes essential
• Automation gradually replaces manual work

This phase is about building efficient systems.

🔋 Late Game – Industrial Scale

Endgame technology becomes available through progression:

• Mekanism for large-scale processing and energy
• Refined Storage for digital storage
• Draconic Evolution for high-tier equipment

Nothing here is accessible without progression.

🧭 Exploration Matters

The world is designed to support progression:

• Overhauled structures (YUNG’s series)
• New biomes and environments
• Hostile mobs and bosses (Cataclysm, Alex’s Mobs)

Exploration is part of the gameplay loop.

📜 Quest-Driven Progression

• Fully guided via FTB Quests
• Clear unlock paths
• Progression tied directly to quests
• Designed to teach mechanics

The quest system is your main guide.

🧠 Custom Systems

This pack uses heavy customization:

• KubeJS scripting
• Custom recipes and restrictions
• Stage-based progression control

Everything is tuned to work together.

🚀 What Makes It Different

• True gated progression (not optional)
• Strong balance between challenge and reward
• Clear structure instead of chaos
• Minimal grind, meaningful advancement
• Designed for players who enjoy progression systems

🧩 Summary

Stone to Tech is a structured journey:

From survival…
to automation…
to advanced technology.

🧾 Notes

• Not all recipes match their default versions
• JEI may not show everything until unlocked
• Progression controls access to most systems

⚠ Interaction Notice

The "Cowboy" skill from Improvable Skills allows mounting mobs via right-click and may override normal interactions (feeding, trading, etc.).

→ This can be toggled in the skill menu.
