Space Ace's Extreme Hardcore Survival Modpack

Recommended settings will be automatically set by-default


This pack adds a multitude of mods to make the game longer and more in-depth, re-balancing nearly every block & system in the game. I've used my 5,000+ hours of SE experience to curate a balanced hardcore realism beatable modpack for single or multiplayer survival.

The original collection pack, along with the full modlist, can be found here


Note to server Hosts: This is technically not a pre-packaged modpack. This is actually a savegame with the mods pre-injected at the right intervals to ensure mod stability after going through the workshop, and allows for things like original economy factions for each save. To use this on a server, load the save solo and import the newly-created local copy of the save to the server to ensure all mods are loaded properly and in-order

- The official guide is available here.

- Use the backslash (\) key to toggle quest visibility.
- Type */autoore showhud false* to hide the ore pickup UI in the bottom right
- The first machine you make is now the "Assembling Bench" instead of the basic assembler.
- Wooden Boxes or Transport Crates will be your first storage
- Trees can be cut down for wood, which is then turned into planks. Wood is un-affected by AwwScrap and floats well on water
- The maximum achievable ship speed is now 1000m/s.
- The suit jetpack has reduced thrust, not allowing you to fly on any planets. The most you are able to do are small "hops". Jetpacks still work in space and moons, but are sluggish The starting suit can later be swapped for better options in the Medbay cosmetics bay.
- Oxygen consumption has been greatly increased, so make sure your spaceships have onboard O2 tanks.
- Hydrogen systems no longer serve as power generation, but (very efficient) power storage. For fuel-based power generation you will have to resort to other fuels or methods.
- You can place a collector in water to collect infinite ice.
- Hold Ctrl before grinding to detach a block from a grid. Click R to pick up the object (up to 1.5t, yea the Engineer's stronk). Use Weld Pads to attach blocks to other grids.
- All planets have different atmospheric properties. Keep this in mind if making parachute-based landers. Atmospheres chart Available Here
- Laser antenna power efficiency is increased by 100x. Go ahead and laser link your bases across the solar system without nuclear reactors.
- Jump Drives behave quite a bit different.
- Beware the abominations...
- Skim thru the mod list. There may be some things you didn't know you could do!

- [Bug] - Story mod will sometimes not trigger, leaving you stuck on the "prepare to leave the drop pod" step. If this happens, restart your game and create a fresh world. (This only applies to new worlds. You won't lose a story in progress)
- [Bug] - Changes to the "Texture Quality" setting may require a full game restart
- [Bug] - Additional undocumented issues have been reported on Linux, although these are not confirmed
