About this Mod

The mod features three main eras:-Primitive-Steam-Electric -Basic
-Improved -Advanced -Perfect -Photonic

Planet information
Colony system
The mod adds over 80 different crops that can interact with each other and with bees (from the mod). This allows you to obtain resources by cultivating plants. Crops can be improved through crossbreeding two or more species, or by using genetic technologies to create the perfect variant.
Crop and bee
The mod adds 5 types of bees, each tied to specific biomes. Their mechanics differ greatly from vanilla. Bees are now divided into 4 types: gatherer, builder, healer, and defender — each performing its own unique role. Over time, they can mutate and also accelerate crop growth.With prolonged crop growth acceleration, bees can produce additional loot besides honey and royal jelly.
The mod offers a wide variety of armor — from basic to energy-powered (nano-spectral). You can also fly using a jetpack and charge your items via an energy backpack. Additionally, armor can be used to protect against volcanic gases and radioactivity.
