Description
This pack is centered on building a a city using "MineColonies" and a Zoo using "Zoo and Wild Animals Mod: Rebuilt".
You can even create a living museum with "Fossils and Archology Revival"
Start the pack with MineColonies.
Then build your road infrastructure so you can drive your cars around the city.
Finally you can begin building a zoo or a Dino Park...or both...I suggest both.
Be careful though some dinos can break blocks that are weaker then iron.. And I'm guessing you don't what that Tyrannosaurus hunting down the rest of your zoo.
Beyond that the pack is a tech based pack (No magic here) so that you have something to do to pass the time.
Resource gathering can be done via MineColonies, Bees, or Mystical Agriculture. Or you can do all 3.
Mass storage will begin with Simple System and progress to Refined Stroage.
This project started as a pack for me and a friend. But after putting in a ton of time I decided that I would put the extra work in and release it as a public pack.
I have tried to keep all the recipes as vanilla as I can. Only tweaking them where I needed to.
Please let me know if you have any issues or suggestions.
Server files will not be included as you only need to:
1. Copy the Config, Mods, and Scripts folders from your instance to the server folder
2. Download the installer for the correct version of forge (Currently 1.12.2 - 14.23.5.2854)
3. Install Forge to the server directory
4. Create a batch file (contents of batch can be found below)
5. Run the batch file and it will launch the server then crash.
6. open the Eula.txt and accept it.
7. run the batch file again and forge will handle turning off client side only mods for you.
8. There will be a point where you have to enter the default generator just type "/defaultworldgenerator-port 1" for default world and "/defaultworldgenerator-port 2" for custom generation
This pack runs in a defualt world gen but you can use a custom generation the halves the noise in the world generation resulting in smoother terrain.
