Description

Cuboid Outpost Modpack

 

Cuboid Outpost Luxury Edition is now available for 1.20.1!

 

Head over to the Cuboid Outpost Luxury Edition if you want to play Cuboid Outpost on Minecraft 1.20.1:

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/cuboid-outpost-le

Cuboid Outpost 1.16 blurb:

The basics:

You're stranded on a barren planet, life as you knew it has come to an abrupt end, and you need to recreate civilization. There are a few twists and turns along the way of course!

You start off at Cuboid Outpost 42, with minimal supplies but some decent equipment, only to find out that the Science Division at Cuboid Corp (tm) have accidentally started a chain reaction that very shortly will bring about the total annihilation of your home planet. Effectively, you're stranded! Luckily there was just enough time for your supervisor to put together a digital survival guide to help you survive, restart life, and even travel to new dimensions. It'll involve a bit of hard work, but you're up to the task, right?

Who this pack is for:

I designed this to be more of a beginner to intermediate tech pack for those just getting into Modded Minecraft, or who are looking for something not too hard / expert, or if you're just wanting something to play that's a tiny bit different. As a result, while there are quite a few mods in the pack, I've intentionally kept the number of alternatives for things low (e.g. for digital storage there's only Applied Energistics 2 at first, but channels are disabled to make it easier to work with - Refined Storage becomes available later on), and the storyline requirements for mods are very light for the most part.

Some great content mods have been added too to keep things interesting and a bit different. And then there are a few unique mods that you won't have seen in any other pack before too - so hopefully there's something for everyone.

What you can expect:

  • A slightly different start to most packs
  • A skyblock-like experience without the skyblock. In other words, a bit of mining, a bit of Ex Nihilo Sequentia, and some "odd" recipes
  • A lot of quests
  • New ores, items, blocks and machines specifically made for this modpack
  • A different way to get to the Nether or the End (at least the first time!)
  • Some additional content mods to give a richer experience in the End and the Nether (as well as in the final dimension)
  • A mod pack you could rush through, but would probably enjoy taking your time on
  • ... and hopefully a bit of fun along the way!

Special Thanks

I'd like to extend special thanks (in no particular order) to the following people, without whom this pack would not exist:

  • legally_clueless and bobshua - for their support, enthusiasm and great ideas!
  • Ashrem, Chaynne, DelfCo, Wildersteak and Chris S. for helping with the early beta testing.
  • Ector Vynk - for his YouTube series' on modded minecraft and his Twitch streams - lots of his ideas and commentary helped me formulate my own mod and modpack ideas.
  • Benbenlaw - his Seaopolis modpack was inspirational (play it if you haven't done so yet!)
  • SilentChaos512 - for his YouTube series on creating 1.16 mods
  • Thomas at TechnoVision - for his YouTube series on modded minecraft with Forge
  • BlakeBr0 - for Extended Crafting's Compressor, which I based my Quantum Collapser idea on.
  • Qelifern (pizzaatime), XenoMustache - for Iron Furnaces, which I based my simplified furnaces on.
  • cpw, alexbegt, progwml6 - for Iron Chests, which I based my (dumbed-down) chests on.
  • 852Duarte, P3NG00 - for More Crafting Tables, which I based my crafting tables on.
  • kwpugh - for inspiration for the Smashers, based on the Hammers in the Easy Steel & More mod.
  • All other mod makers who have helped or inspired me along the way - too many list here!

Recommended Settings

  • 6GB RAM, although you could probably run on around 4GB, but your mileage may vary. 

Questions and Suggestions

  • Issues and suggestions preferable on the issue tracker on GitHub (issues link above)
  • For general chatting, hints and advice on the pack or gameplay, head over to my Discord
