Farout is a space exploration mod that goes where no mod has ever go before. these are the three reasons why this mod will set it apart from other space exploration mods.
Once you start going to other planets, the fuel mass required for chemical engines are immense, so this mod has other propulsion types, from retro nuclear thermal rockets, near future ion drives, to the far future fusion engines at the end of the game.
This mod allows for interstellar travel to another star system, Formalon, only a mere 0.05 light years away. this star is only reachable by constructing a starship in orbit. More stars will be added in the future.
This mod takes place in the Sandos system, with 5 planets and 5 moons to explore. explore worlds like Proxmai, with it's crushing gravity and nonexistant atmosphere, or Oceanus, a jungle world.
Required geckolib and JEI

Mate, dont overwork yourself, nor stress yourself out about release dates, just do it when you want to, and work on it when you want to.
Cuss trust me, setting release dates and then keep having to delay is very stressful, so just, build the update, wait till the time feels right, and announce a release date.
devlogs may keep the people at bay a bit, dont spoil to much, otherwise its for noting.
The long wait is over...
I have released a testing version of 1.0.
