About this Mod

This mod uses a modified version of Fabric (Babric) and is designed for now only for Better than Adventure 7.3_04, a heavily modified version of Minecraft b1.7.3! Ports to other versions may happen in the future..

For more information, join the discord server provided on this projects page.

About

Signal Industries is a mod focused on tech progression, powerful equipment with various abilities and machines, including multiblocks and also includes QoL changes, new monsters, challenges, a lot of achievements, a new dimension to explore and much more coming or already planned!

SI is in active development by one person with contributions from a few others, see credits.

Multiplayer is supported as of version 0.21.0.

SI is currently in Alpha! This means that the mod is far from finished and far from being without bugs (even critical, game breaking bugs). New features get added frequently, new bugs are made and fixed every commit and such it is recommended to backup any world where this mod is loaded frequently!!

Installation

This mod needs a specific MultiMC/Prism instance to run.

Progression

Progression is divided into 4 tiers:

  • Prototype - the humble beginnings, creating crude machines from scrap found in the world.
  • Basic - more polished and better machines, first gadgets and equipment.
  • Reinforced - the mid game, unlocking most of the mods features and additions, like a power suit augmentable with attachment and abilities.
  • Awakened - the end game, with massive structures, processing lines and power capable of shaping the world around you as you see fit, also massive resource requirements.

Achievements, item descriptions and the built-in guidebook serve to help the player take advantage of what this mod has to offer.
