Nerospace

Nerospace

Mine alien ore, power up your machines, build rockets — then terraform a dead world until it rains.

Nerospace is a complete, standalone space-progression mod. One ore in the overworld starts a chain that ends with you breeding alien livestock on a moon you personally made breathable: machines, an all-in-one pipe network, four rocket tiers, four destinations, player-founded space stations, oxygen survival with hazard suits, and a staged terraforming endgame — all guided in-game by the Star Guide.

The journey

1. Nerosium. A new overworld ore. Smelt it, or double your yield with the powered Nerosium Grinder.
2. Power & pipes. Build generators and the Universal Pipe — energy, fluids, gas, and items in one translucent tube, with per-face modes, filters, and visible travelling items.
3. First launch. Craft a Tier 1 rocket, lay a 3×3 launch pad, and fly to the Orbital Station.
4. New worlds. Tiered rockets take you further: green Greenxertz, volcanic Cindara, frozen Glacira — each with its own ores, creatures, and hazards.
5. Survive. Every world out there is airless. Seal rooms, pipe oxygen from electrolysis generators, refill your Oxygen Suit at airlocks — and bring the Thermal or Cryo Suit where heat or cold quadruples your O₂ drain.
6. Found stations. Rename a Station Charter in an anvil and found your own named orbital station, anchored by its Station Core and selectable as a rocket destination.
7. Go heavy. Build the 5×5 Heavy Launch Complex with its boarding gantry, refine your own rocket fuel from coal and blaze powder, and launch the Tier 4 heavy rocket.
8. Terraform. The endgame: an expanding terraformer matures dead ground through Rooted → Hydrated → Living stages — a glacite-fed water cycle, real weather, vibrant mature biomes, and three breedable livestock species that move in when the land can hold them.

The quirks you'll remember

• 🐾 Eight bespoke creatures — glowing stalkers and crawlers native to each world, plus the Meadow Loper, Ember Strutter, and Woolly Drift, which only live on land you terraformed.
• ⭐ The Star Guide — a pedestal + guidebook that opens a live, interactive progression tree (7 chapters, 31 steps, synced to a full advancement tree), with a hologram showing your next goal.
• 🛰️ Stations are yours — found up to 64 named stations per world; the rocket UI lists them all.
• 🔧 One pipe to rule them all — no four parallel cable networks; the Universal Pipe carries everything at once.
• 🌧️ It actually rains on a fully matured planet.

Compatibility & modpacks

• Standalone — requires only NeoForge. No other mod needed.
• Plays well with others: conventional c: tags on every material and NeoForge capabilities on every machine face, so hoppers, pipes, and recipe viewers Just Work as the 26.1 ecosystem fills in.
• Modpacks are allowed and encouraged — any platform, no need to ask. Just use the official files and credit Nerospace by Neroland with links to the CurseForge page and the GitHub repository. Full terms: LICENSE.
• Five clamped config multipliers (oxygen drain/capacity, energy rate, fuel cost, machine speed) make pack-tuning painless.

Telemetry notice: Nerospace sends anonymous error reports (stack trace + mod/game
versions only — never IPs, usernames, UUIDs, or world data) to the developers via
Sentry (EU servers) so crashes can be fixed. Opt out any time by setting
telemetryEnabled = false in config/nerospace-common.toml. Full details:
