MACHINA
by cy4shot
MACHINA, a NeoForge technology mod by cy4shot, adds a space exploration set with explorable solar systems, procedurally generated planets and automation machinery.
What it does
Its content is built around a tech exploration theme: physically accurate solar systems that can be travelled through, and large planets generated procedurally, each with its own biomes. Players can set up multiblock automation machines on those planets and build sizeable factories there, while spaceships and their fuel automation handle travel between them. The author describes the result as an adventure the player shapes.
Tools and gear are modular and can be customized, so the player chooses how each piece is assembled. Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, making MACHINA open source.
