As the studio seems intent to keep a malware distributor on the dev team, this modpack will be abandoned. Feel free to fork it.

Description

This is a mod(pack) that basically just implements my vision for what the game might look like when it gets closer to a full release. Beware that this is somewhat "hardcore", but in what i consider a balanced and fair way. Don't expect the same experience as vanilla.
It's only tested in (and designed around) singleplayer.

All this mod does is list a bunch of dependencies that the game can download for you, you'll need to manually extract the config files to the ModConfig folder. (Please let me know if i can automate this somehow!)

<span style="background-color: #19fef3; color: #000000;" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" data-darkreader-inline-color="">I recommend using Optimum, a patch for the game client which can significantly improve performance. If you don't want to install that you can fall back to Optitime which is most of the same optimizations but as a normal mod, it just won't improve performance as much.</span>
