Forever Stranded for Minecraft

Review Forever Stranded

Forever Stranded: A Complete Apocalypse

What do you mean by the word 'survival'? When it comes to the standard Minecraft mode that most players are used to, it, unfortunately, has long become obsolete, as all its mechanics are familiar, and you can follow a certain algorithm to collect all the achievements, important elements, armor, weapons, and much more in just one day. Even new versions of Minecraft cannot offer hardcore and really interesting survival. However, one can always use special modpacks for that. One of these is called Forever Stranded and is set on some planet.

You will have to play as a space explorer who had to make an emergency landing on an unknown planet. Your spaceship crashed, but you are alive and has every chance to prolong your existence on this soil, finding new biomes, food, water, and many other important resources. So forget about the usual principles of survival in Minecraft, make use of new types of materials and blocks, fight with different mobs you have never met before, and get extra bonuses for completing tasks.

Overview of the Forever Stranded Modpack

After you crash and find yourself on the ground, you face two tasks: to find food and water. After all, it is a completely different planet with modified biomes, other types of mobs, and unexplored territories, so you will have to spend time finding ways to quickly and safely provide yourself with everything you need. It is extremely dangerous to stay near the spaceship at night, as dozens or even hundreds of different mobs, such as zombies, creepers, cadavers, and many others, will spawn here. If you manage to get a weapon, you will be able to resist them, but without protective equipment and weapons, that will be an extremely difficult task.

As you progress, you get additional lives and become capable of installing a bed or spawn point. However, you will have to spend a lot of time searching for all the necessary components, as you don't initially have much. The quests will help you and allow you to roughly understand in which direction to move and what tasks to perform in order to survive in this hardcore world. You can play not only alone but also with friends by creating a server in a local network.

Mods Included in the Forever Stranded Build

Like any other build, Forever Stranded includes a certain number of mods that allow you to broaden the game's potential and add new materials, different types of crafting recipes, equipment, technologies, and much more.

· Advanced Rocketry is a great space-related mod that adds the possibility of creating a rocket using different types of modules to the game. Besides the latter, it allows the player to explore various planetary systems.

· Avaritia adds one of the most powerful craftable weapons in Minecraft, but most of them require numerous different components and expensive materials.

· Immersive Engineering is an industry mod for Minecraft that adds different types of automatic circuits, machines, and special devices that facilitates the process of extraction, transportation, and processing of resources.

· QuantumFlux is a technology mod that allows you to generate different types of energy and store it in special tanks. At the same time, most of the operations will be performed without wires and complex mechanisms.

· OpenModularTurrets brings a modular turret system to Minecraft that allows one to create full-fledged options for protecting structures of any type and the surrounding area both from mobs and other players.

· Woot is an add-on for Minecraft that allows you to create automated mob farms without wasting time thinking through their structure or searching for spawners. Most of the operations will be performed without your participation.

This build includes numerous mods, but most of them are related to different types of materials, items, and new armor types. Besides, a lot of them are dedicated to energy processing and automation of various routine tasks. All this is quite relevant for the Forever Stranded modpack, as you will have to spend on that planet a long time and implement automated mechanisms to survive. It must be said that the setting of outer space is still not fully implemented in the cubic world, which is why numerous builds and standalone mods that add new functionality in this regard continue to appear.

You do not need to look for anything, though, since all the necessary functions, features, recipes, and new items are available in the build under consideration, available for download in one click. So try to take on the role of a person in such a difficult situation, and if you manage to survive, build your colony on that planet or, at least, move to another inhabited place. Be sure to write how you managed it and at what stage you are for now in the comments.

The Forever Stranded modpack can boast more than two million downloads. It is occasionally supplemented with different mods. However, at the time of writing the review, it supported version 1.10.2 only, as it includes many specific add-ons that have not been updated for a long time. Anyway, everything works quite stable and is optimized. Besides, the modpack works correctly on weak PCs and does not significantly reduce the FPS rate. So we recommend downloading this build if you like the theme of outer space, the unknown, UFOs, and survival in harsh conditions. It is one of the few packs with so many technology-related mods.

You can play both alone or in the company of friends. However, when starting a new game, it will be impossible to thoroughly configure the game world, for example, by choosing certain parameters for its generation or enabling the cheat mode. The only thing you can do is select the map, and the same world with the crashed spaceship will be generated by default. So complete the main storyline, solve all the tasks, and try to survive in a harsh world full of different dangers. And do not forget that the mobs are much more numerous at night than during the day.
