Way on mod
You should start your way in mod by creating weapons and tools made of dark steel. To create it, you need to combine an iron ingot, coal and flint on a workbench. But it's still too early to create weapons and tools, you need to get an ancient redstone by roasting a block of ordinary redstone in an oven. After receiving it, you can finally create the first items. Next, you can upgrade your weapons, get new materials for new tools and weapons. At the moment, the main goal of the mod is to create a fan of celestial stars and fulfill all the achievements of the mod.
