Stranded Ashore

Update v1.3.0 is the biggest to come to the modpack so far, and includes the beginning of the new pack progression, starting with the Steel Age!

Throughout the Steel Age, you'll build a variety of machines from Immersive Engineering, upgrade your gear using Tinkers' Construct, and make a simple railway freight network with Immersive Railroading. This update brings a whole new tech tree, which will be added over the course of several new major updates, so there's much more to come!

Update v1.3.0 also includes a variety of tweaks and quality of life changes to make playing the pack a bit more fun in those areas that just became dry after a while. *I'm looking at you, jute fiber!*

Upcoming patches will include additions to the guide book and proper progression-locking to help lead you through the pack, as well as any fixes needed to balance the new tech tree.

There's a whole lot of new stuff to explore in this update, so I hope you enjoy it and look forward to even more things to come in the very near future!

Warning! This update removes Astral Sorcery, Botania and CustomNPCs! If you're using a world generated before this update, all of the structures and flowers from these mods will disappear, and any existing NPCs will be removed. Other than this, old worlds are still compatible with this update, but remember to make a backup before loading in with the new update, just in case something goes wrong.
