Aero Science Program
by Seraphaestus
Aero Science Program adds a research system to Sable and Create Aeronautics, where a Research Probe launches random experiments for players to complete on simulated contraptions.
What it does
The mod is a NeoForge addon for Create and Sable that adds mission-style research objectives to simulated contraptions. Its science mechanics are loosely inspired by Kerbal Space Program, and each objective gives players a different kind of reason to build and fly. Only the single block it adds is needed in a world, along with the Create and Sable dependencies it runs on.
Placing the core block produces a probe that carries a randomly chosen experiment. Each experiment has its own theme and is made of a series of stages with conditions, and the probe must be interacted with, then reset, to reward the player with experience. One example is the Deep Ocean Pressure Gauge, which starts above y 62 and must descend below y 20 for 30 seconds inside an Ocean biome.
The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1, is licensed under the MIT License, and is open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
Key features
Random research probe
The Research Probe carries a random experiment, so each probe gives a different objective.
Staged experiments
Experiments are built from a series of stages with conditions, such as a block that must be mounted on a simulated contraption.
Deep Ocean Pressure Gauge
One experiment requires the gauge to start above y 62 and descend below y 20 for 30 seconds in an Ocean biome.
Experience rewards
Interacting with a completed probe rewards the player with experience, and the probe then resets for another run.

Use cases
Aeronautics missions
Players who build simulated flying contraptions can use the probe experiments as goals between normal building sessions.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Create Aeronautics and want mission-style goals on top of their simulated builds, and server owners who want extra objectives on a Create and Sable world.
