    skyblock with space aesthetics

    You find yourself in a void filled with stars and particles, below you is the core that will help you build your universe. The gameplay is based on extracting resources from the core and surrounding stars to process them into something useful - matter to expand your island, machines to mine resources, generators and solar panels to feed the power-hungry machines.

    Good stuff:

    • cool machines and gameplay
    • the questbook helps you get started
    • space aesthetics
    • ambient music that fits
    • particles, particles everywhere!

    Another unique game for minetest, looking forward to see this grow :)

    Cosmic skyblock automation game ala MC modpacks

    If you have played or seen any of those quest book-style modpacks for Minecraft, you'll get what I meant by the title. Previously, I've played another skyblock modpack on Minetest that more or less tried to emulate modded skyblock, but it was lackluster. Skyblock Zero definitely is many steps ahead compared to that old modpack, it almost feels complete already! And yet, there's potential to flesh out the already present mechanics. I recommend this for players who:

    • Likes skyblock.
    • Fine with being spoonfed about things and their mechanics, but still allows you to explore and exploit on your own.
    • Likes automation. This is quite important. My tip is to rush energy so you can start automation more seriously sooner.
    • Can dabble in a bit of programming; there's lua controllers!
    • Like cosmic and celestial themes. I'm absolutely in awe with the meteors and player-built gravity wells!

    In the "endgame" (reactor), there's not much need to automate or work towards. That's kinda a shame, because I was hoping to use all the stuff i know about pipeworks, machines, power grid, reactor management, lua controllers, etc. to further progress the game. Whatever, the game doesn't just end because the quest book is done. I'll chase production stats lol. I'm looking forward for new updates 🔥

    A couple suggestions: I'd like to see more interaction between the opposite elements. matter and antimatter, neutronium and antineutronium. Having more risks, limitations, challenges to building advanced contraptions would also be appreciated. Right now, there's very few situations where the player need to think carefully on how to approach things (reactor and strange).

    I really like that it doesn't have useless blocks or unnessesairy tedium

    Interesting Idea

    The theme of the game is quite nice. It gives Minetest players something new and a bit fresh to try. The first time I attempted it, it didn't make much sense, but the Quest book helps to guide players through the game. The music choices were good, and the particles effects were mostly nice (though I'm not keen on the one that happens when you walk; it sticks around too long, and doesn't vary. feels like it gets in the way).

    I feel the game is just getting started with the automation when you need more things to do. It does need some endgame items to work towards, and maybe a reason for doing them. Having more resources renewable, and extra uses for core dust and the purple one (anti-matter?).

    It's a new game, so I'll bear that in mind. A great start, keep at it.

    Nice little game, has lots of potential

    Admittedly the code is a bit spaghettified and there are a few balancing issues but I'm sure they'll fix themselves as more content is added. I'm excited to see where this goes.

    Great potential!

    I loved the ambience of the game! But i quickly got confused trying to find new recipes, also the game was very short but seeing its recent, i see it could be something very fun!
