About this Mod
In 2017, the Curiosity rover found elevated zinc concentrations in Gale Crater, suggesting that there may have been liquid water and hydrothermal activity in the ancient past of Mars.
This mod adds zinc deposits to Mars and Glacio, bridging Create and Ad Astra.
I've tested for compatibility with Mekanism, and this mod works with both JAOPCA and More Mekanism Processing.

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Astral Zinc consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
