Create: Far Skies

Build a rocket. Fly to the Moon. Come back alive.

Build a rocket out of Create blocks, glue it to a Flight Computer and fly to the Moon: an airless world with a third of home’s gravity, stranded colonies under their domes, strange creatures and three fallen leaders of an old expedition. Then go on to the Vestige, a storm-torn copy of the homeworld floating over the void, where the richest materials wait for those who come back alive.

🚀 Features

• 🚀 Rockets are Create contraptions of any shape, up to 1024 blocks, with seats for the crew.
• 🎛️ Launch Control: pick the destination: the Moon, the homeworld, the Vestige, a landing beacon, orbit, or the pad the rocket came from.
• 💧 Propellant: hydrogen and oxygen, split from water by an Electrolyzer running on Create rotation.
• 🌕 The Moon: vacuum, freezing nights, low gravity, sealed bases with oxygen, EVA suits and meteor showers.
• 💎 Moon materials: titanium, starmetal, rare earth, lumen crystals, helium-3, and shards scraped from the Moon’s unbreakable core.
• 🏘️ Colonies of stranded villagers with eight new trades, creatures to tame, monsters, and three bosses in their ruins.
• 🛰️ Satellites put biome names, a weather forecast and fresh craters on your JourneyMap map.
• ⛈️ The Vestige: islands over the void in endless lightning and wind, supercharged monsters, and the Archmaker in his sanctum.
• ☄️ Falling stars: pieces of the Vestige crash into the homeworld, with treasure in their cores and charged monsters climbing out.

🛠️ Getting started

1. Craft the Far Skies Logbook (a book and an Iron Sheet). It explains everything in the game.
2. Get Create’s brass age going: rocket parts need Precision Mechanisms, Electron Tubes, casings and sheets.
3. Build an Electrolyzer and store hydrogen and oxygen in separate Fluid Tanks.
4. Build the rocket: a Flight Computer, Hydrolox Rocket Engines pointing down, tanks and seats, all glued to the computer with Super Glue.
5. Place a Launch Control near the rocket and pick the Moon.
6. Pack for the trip: Create’s diving helmet and backtank for air, and a second Launch Control for the way home.
7. Start the countdown, sit down and lift off!
