Ad Astra

📖About 📖

Ad Astra! (translation: "To the Stars!") is a space mod for Fabric and Forge with a focus on technology, travel and
exploration. We've got everything you need to become an astronaut: rockets, space suits, space stations and machines.
Why not take a stroll on the Moon? Build a self-sustaining bunker on Mars? Go mining on Venus? The entire Solar System,
better yet, Milky Way, is at your disposal!

  • Five celestial bodies: The Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury and Glacio, in two different solar systems. Each planet

expresses a distinctive flair, with specific mobs and unique materials.

  • Vehicles: Four rocket tiers for interplanetary travel and a rover for traversing the rough, alien terrain ahead.
  • Technology: Standard processing machines and generators, along with oxygen generation and distribution, fuel refining,

water pumping, cable, fluid pipes and a rocket workbench.

  • Building: Spruce up your builds with over 250 building blocks, ranging from planet-specific bricks and stones to space

station deco and metal plating.

  • An in-game guidebook, explaining everything you need to progress and prosper in Ad Astra!
