Mine!
You can dig deep by hand or with a mechanical friend! (it's a drill) Loads of tools, machines, and various things to help you survive in the depths.

Fly!
Build rockets, ships, space stations, planes. If it can move through the air you'll probably do something with it. Also there's this hover lad.

Pew Pew!
With a wide assortment of weapons, you could totally handle that big mean alien threat over there right? Turrets, guns, grenades, rockets, and some really big cannons!

Explore!
Go to space and conquer everything the galaxy (solar system) has to offer. Maybe you'll suffocate along the way. I'm sure that's fine don't worry about that.

This is the official public modpack for the Colony: Expeditions series by CaptainJack, created by Alex. If you're looking to play along in the same way, this is your chance. This pack will mirror the pack used in the series until its natural conclusion.

Servers!!!
The hardware for this series is generously sponsored by Nodecraft. They were gracious enough to provide us with hardware for testing, as well as recording itself. As a long time customer of Nodecraft anyway, this was an amazing opportunity to save time for the series. Running servers from scratch is a pain.
We've also partnered with them to offer the Colony: Expeditions modpack as an option in their 1-click installer for servers. This is the fastest & easiest way to spin up a new server for the pack by far.
If you want to help support this packs development, as well as easily setup a server for you and friends, use the link below to get a discount on a new server. CaptainJack also gets a small commission for it so you'd also be directly supporting the creation of the series as well.
