About this Modpack

[Warning] Put on indefinite hiatus!
Build a factory with Oritech and use the resources to make a spaceship. Use it to explore the solar system, get new resources from the planets, and use them to locate and reactivate a stargate to explore beyond the confines of our star. Collect unique eyes from across the planets and open a portal to the End!
Extra Features:
This modpack comes bundled with multiple shaderpacks, including one which is enabled by default: Miniature Shader by ukrech. This is an extremely lightweight shader which should work on any computer. (Yes, including MacOS)
This modpack includes Mods Optimizer by Kaworru for easy server setup. No downloading seperate serverfiles, just drop all the same files from the normal modpack into your neoforge server and watch as It Just Works.
