About [IU] Industrial Upgrade

From Modrinth

Industrial Upgrade is the spiritual successor to Industrial Craft

ParadiseMC partner banner Industrial Upgrade is a comprehensive technology mod that transforms your Minecraft survival experience — from simple tools and early automation to massive factories and complex infrastructure. It greatly increases the challenge and depth of gameplay, extending your survival journey and rewarding careful planning. Perfect for players who enjoy building intricate systems, mastering advanced technologies, and reimagining the legacy of IndustrialCraft² in a fresh, refined form. The mod features its own ore generation system, covering both custom and vanilla ores, arranged in veins. Each vein contains specific ores with defined spawn chances. On a player’s first login, they receive a special tablet — the “Ore Scanner” — which can be used to detect nearby ores. The mod features three main eras: -Primitive -Steam -Electric -Basic -Improved -Advanced -Perfect -Photonic The mod also includes a convenient guide that allows you to progress through it from start to finish. The mod features a wide variety of energy types: Coal Industry Redstone Industry Oil Industry -Gasoline -Diesel Steam Industry Steam Turbine Steam Generator Reactor Industry Liquid Reactor Gas Reactor Graphite Reactor High-Temperature Reactor Solar Industry Assembly Mini Panel Solar Panel Wind Industry Water Industry Thermal Industry Gas Power The mod introduces space, but not in the style of the legendary Galacticraft. Instead, it is implemented as an exploration system where you can establish colonies, manage them, and develop their population to extract various ores and liquids. Space map Planet information Colony system The mod adds over 80 different crops that can interact with each other and with bees (from the mod). This allows you to obtain resources by cultivating plants. Crops can be improved through crossbreeding two or more species, or by using genetic technologies to create the perfect variant. Crop and bee The mod adds 5 types of bees, each tied to specific biomes. Their mechanics differ greatly from vanilla. Bees are now divided into 4 types: gatherer, builder, healer, and defender — each performing its own unique role. Over time, they can mutate and also accelerate crop growth. With prolonged crop growth acceleration, bees can produce additional loot besides honey and royal jelly. The mod offers a wide variety of armor — from basic to energy-powered (nano-spectral). You can also fly using a jetpack and charge your items via an energy backpack. Additionally, armor can be used to protect against volcanic gases and radioactivity.

The mod positions itself as the spiritual successor of IC2 and may only resemble it in basic mechanics common to all tech mods.
