Desolate Planet - A Crash Landing Remake

***

You have survived a crash landing on Planet T4L0S, an uncharted planet in the Varkin system. Preliminary scans indicate an arid environment with pockets of elevated radiation, high mineral content, and subterranean hydrocarbon reservoirs.

You will need to brave the blazing heat, find sources of food and water, scour the planet for resources, build up technology, and search for a way to escape the planet.

Desolate Planet is a challenging, quest-based modpack where you must struggle for survival on a dust planet with limited resources. The map is set to hardcore, you must use the Sync mod to build yourself more lives.

***

This pack is still under development. This version will still have bugs, and feedback is welcome.

FAQ

Q: How do I install the modpack?

A: Download the Modrinth or Curseforge app, search for the name of the pack, and click install. Make sure you are using 6-8 GB of RAM in the modpack or launcher's settings.

Q: How can I play multiplayer?

A: The e4mc mod is installed. To play multiplayer, simply open your world to LAN, and it will print an address in chat that other players can join with.

Q: How do I set up a server? Do you have a server pack?

A: If you _aren't_ experienced with server hosting, see the answer above. If you _are_ experienced with server hosting, server packs are available alongside most Curseforge releases (Modrinth no longer allows server pack publishing). To download the server pack, visit Curseforge's project files page, select the most recent one, go to the "Additional Files" tab, select the server pack, and click Download.

Once downloaded, unzip the file and run it locally via the run.bat (Windows) or run.sh (Linux/Mac) files. If you use a server hosting provider, upload _all_ the contents of the server pack to your host and find instructions for how to set up a Forge server on that host. These instructions are different for each server host, so find instructions specific to the one you are using.

Q: Why does my game/world gets stuck while loading in?

A: Make sure you have allocated at least 6 GB of RAM to the modpack. I usually recommend 8 GB if your computer has enough.

Q: How can I disable hardcore?

A: I strongly recommend learning to use the sync shells for extra lives, it's what the game was balanced around. If you select the easy route, you'll start with enough power for 3 shells. Follow the steps in the Sync quest for a detailed guide.

However, if you've tried that and still want to disable hardcore, you can edit the hardcore setting in config/globalgamerules-common.toml. On a server, the steps are slightly different. Download this file and replace the files on the server with the files in that zip. I recommend backing up the target files before replacing them.

Q: Why do I have debuffs like weakness, mining fatigue, or hunger?

A: You are likely malnourished. Check your nutrition by clicking the Diet button in your inventory. Aim to get a balanced diet by keeping the four main food groups above 50%. Higher values will give buffs, lower ones will give debuffs. The one exception is the sugars group, which isn't necessary to maintain. The sugars group will give speed buffs at moderate levels, but be careful because you will get debuffs if your meter goes over 80%. Read about the specific buffs and debuffs from the Diet mod on the wiki page here.

Q: How do I update the modpack?

A: In most launchers, open the modpack from your library and click the “Change Version” or “Update” button in the top-right.

Q: Will updating to a new version break my world?

A: Generally no, you won't have any issues. Only major releases break anything and there will be a description of exactly what they break near the start of the changelog. However, it is always a good idea to frequently back up your world.

Q: What is the best power source?
