About this project

What does Genesis Research add?

Genesis Research

Genesis Research is a technology-driven progression mod designed for players who want structured advancement, strategic decision-making, and long-term goals. Instead of unlocking every recipe instantly, you must research, specialize, and evolve.


🔬 Research-Based Progression

All advanced technology is locked behind a dynamic research system.
Players must use Research Stations and Search DataTables to unlock new crafting possibilities through time-based research and interactive mini-games.

The more complex the technology, the more preparation required.


🧑‍🔧 Class & Specialization System

Choose up to two classes and level them up over time.
Each class unlocks specific research paths and recipes.

  • Class levels affect what you can unlock
  • Specializations refine your tech focus
  • High-tier research requires advanced mastery

Your progression path is defined by your choices.


📜 Blueprint System

Recipes are unlocked through research and blueprints.
Learning new technology grants blueprint items that integrate into your progression.

Blueprints can be generated, assigned, and used strategically.


🧠 Interactive Mini-Games

Research is not passive.
Advanced technologies may require solving mini-games, especially at higher tiers.

Skill and preparation matter.


🏗 Multi-Block Research Structures

Research Stations require connected Search DataTables to operate efficiently.

  • Minimum required structure
  • Additional blocks increase research speed
  • Advanced setups unlock higher-tier content

🚀 Quick Start Guide (Players)

1️⃣ Use /class to choose up to two classes.
2️⃣ Craft a Research Station.
3️⃣ Connect at least 3 Search DataTables.
4️⃣ Open the Tech Tree and select an available research.

6️⃣ Level up your class to access advanced technologies.


⚙ Quick Setup Guide (Server / Admin)

2️⃣ Open config/genesis_research/ folder.
3️⃣ Edit:

  • classes.json to configure classes, levels, and specializations.

4️⃣ Use /configclasses in-game (admin only) to create or edit research vissualy.
5️⃣ Use /configsearch in-game (admin only) to create or edit research visually.
6️⃣ Save and reload to apply changes.

All research, class requirements, levels, and unlocks are fully customizable.
