DESCRIPTION
The vast majority of these mods combine together to create a modpack based on survival and exploration. Mods like True Darkness and Tough As Nails simulate more real life experiences, and all together they create a decently hard challenge for all but the best players familiar with the mods. However, several more mods, like The One Who Watches, The Wendigo and more turns the modpack into not just hard survival but horror and extreme danger as well.
SURIVIVAL
Without the several stalker and dweller mods that give the game a lot more danger than vanilla or even vanilla+. The True Darkness and Dynamic Lights mods create a very nice lighting effect. Because of the moon cycles, being outside at night on the right night can be the difference between life and death( not joking, I tried this modpack for a while and found out that light if VERY important). The Tough As Nails mod adds a couple different survival quirks, such as the needed for water. There are a few ways to obtain purified water, but the best way would be to craft a couple of water purifiers. However, because these require iron, getting them early stage is not easy. And several different custom dwellers spawn down in the cave, so that makes getting iron harder than usual.
BASES
Because of several different "Macaw's" mods, creating a safe haven that looks very nice is possible. The best defense against anything coming your way in this mod would to be a base that, no matter the size, is well lit up and a strong wall with iron doors. Wood comes in all varieties, so I recommend use of that.
