Description:

In this mod, the survivors of the apocalypse can restart an abandoned experimental nuclear power plant and fill the lost city with light again. The way to get there is not easy and requires searching for rare items throughout the city, improving your skills, crafting and repairing system components. A careless approach to this responsibility can lead to a super disaster that not only you will regret.

Comment:

Hi everyone! This mod is still a work in progress, but I’m excited to share it with you. I’ve been working on it in my free time for almost a year, and it’s my first project like this!

Testing and debugging for both Single Player and Multiplayer has been time-consuming, so I can’t catch all the bugs alone. If you encounter any issues, please share the debug log (file, line, and issue). I’ll address them as I can, but non-critical updates may take some time.

Thanks for your patience and support as I continue learning and improving the mod!

Thanks:

Many thanks to the other modders who shared all these amazing mods with us and gave my mod the opportunity to interact with them.
