Your inventions: Integrated
Invent beautiful create contraptions to complete your production chain with machinery rebalanced for this modpack.

Your world: Alive
Seasons change, flowers and grass grows, animals eat, metal rusts and bricks moss and crack. Player-like NPCs wander the world to build, fight and interact with. Tweaked and integrated in this modpack to provide an immersive and enjoyable experience without being obtrusive.

Your game: Your choice

About the world
Days are longer for longer colony working times. Nights are shorter. More enemies spawn at night. Bricks will crack and moss will grow on buildings, but it will not hinder MineColony buildings. Fix buildings by using shears on moss or bricks on blocks, or use the builder repair option. Various colonist jobs can reprocess the weathered materials.

About exploration
This modpack is focused on managing your town, only a limited amount of mods which enhance exploration have been added for this reason.
