Beyond The Limit

Every age breaks a Limit. Then you break the next one.

Tech, space, and bosses on an authored spine. ProjectE is the last door — not day one.

The Limit

This is not a sandbox with the skip tools left on the table. Four pack-native tokens (kubejs:) sit on the recipes that would delete the campaign. You craft factories. You fight. You leave the planet. Each age pays a Limit — and that Limit is how you open the next door.

The quest book (`) is the same ladder: 226 quests, 15 chapters, four groups. Press L for the vanilla Break the Limit tab. Progression is flexible — dependencies stay, the book does not linear-lock you.

The Philosopher's Stone has no crafting recipe. Applied Energistics transmutation addons are stripped. The stone and the transmutation table are FTB Quest rewards at the end of the book.

The campaign

You still get the big toys. You do not get them for free.

1. Create — andesite, belts, steam. The Mechanical Crafter and Rotation Speed Controller wait for a token.
2. Power → Mekanism — Powah into the first Metallurgic Infuser (open). Steel, circuits, then a Shard. Digital Miner, teleporter, QIO, MekaSuit, SPS, and late Extras are gated.
3. AE2 — presses still come from meteors (late Horizon backup if you never find one). The controller, growth accelerators, spatial IO, and quantum link are not starter crafts.
4. Bosses — Cataclysm, Alex's Caves, Mowzie's, Apotheosis. Death pays Limit Shards.
5. Ocean — aleki's Nifty Ships (rowboats, sloops, wind, cannons) and Ocean's Delight meals on the Farmer's Delight line. Wrecks are sparse. The first boat is free; the cannon wants a Shard.
6. Ad Astra — NASA workbench and the T1 rocket want a Shard. The Moon pays Broken Horizon. Waystones will not warp you onto other planets.
7. ProjectE — hidden in JEI, uncraftable. Finish Ignis, Glacio, and the Infinite circuit line. Take the stone from the book.

Wooden tools and the first factory stay honest. What is locked is everything that ends the pack early: infinity tools, laser drill, wither builder, enchantment factory, Formulaic Assemblicator, Naquadah reactor, Absolute→Infinite extras.

Play it if you want a kitchen sink with a finish line.
Skip it if you want EMC before your first steam engine.

Requirements

Allocate RAM in the CurseForge app before the first launch. First boot compiles KubeJS (and shaders if you enable them) — give it a minute.

This is a public beta (0.3.1-beta), not a 1.0. Token costs, drop rates, and quest rewards can still move. Back up worlds. After a content update, a new world is safer than migrating an old one.

Discord: ModNest — crash logs go in #pack-support. Crash Assistant's Request Help button opens the same invite.

FAQ

Is this All the Mods / SkyFactory with extra steps?
No. Same kind of mods, different contract. Skip tools cost a Limit. ProjectE is the ending.

Can I rush the Moon?
Not on day two. NASA workbench wants an ultimate circuit and a Limit Shard.

I never found an AE2 meteor.
Meteors still spawn. Late backup: Broken Horizon + fluix + the matching material. The Inscriber itself is not gated.

Where is ProjectE?
Last chapter. Crafting is disabled. Finish Ignis, Glacio, and the Infinite circuit line, then take the stone from the book.

Shaders / why isn't Oculus in the list?
The shader loader is Mekalus (Oculus-compatible). Complementary Unbound is included and off until you press O and turn it on.

Singleplayer or server?
Both. FTB Chunks is claims only — Xaero is the map (M). Waystones will not warp you onto Ad Astra planets.

Can I keep my world across betas?
Back up first. Recipe IDs can shift. Prefer a new world after a content update.

Where do I install from?
Only the official CurseForge project (1654246). Third-party reuploads are not supported.

Where is Discord?
https://discord.gg/nzsY8FDWQY — pack talk, changelog, #pack-support for crashes.
