Welcome to the Celestial Harvesting Wiki!
What is Celestial Harvesting?
Celestial Harvesting is a progression-based tech mod that allows you to build, manage, and upgrade automated Harvester ships. Send them on missions to distant moons, alien worlds, fiery stars, and even the event horizons of black holes to gather resources for you.
From simple iron and coal to the rarest treasures in the universe, your automated fleet will become the heart of your resource-gathering empire!
Key Features
- The Harvester: Craft and place the central block of the mod. Power it with Forge Energy (FE) and it becomes your mission control center, inventory, and upgrade station all in one.
- Dynamic Missions: Every Harvester you place generates its own unique, randomized set of available missions. When a mission is complete, a new set is generated, ensuring endless variety.
- Deep Upgrade System: A robust tech tree with over 20 upgrades allows you to specialize each Harvester.
- Visual Customization: As you install upgrades, your Harvester's model will visually change, showing off its new modules and colored plating.
- Immersive Animations: Watch your Harvester physically take off into the sky, leaving behind a landing pad, and descend from the heavens upon its return.
- JEI Integration: Fully integrated with JEI. Look up any item to see which missions can reward it, complete with chances, quantities, and mission stats.
Getting Started
Your first step is to craft the Harvester. Once placed, you will need to provide it with Forge Energy (FE) by installing the solar panel upgrade or from another mod source.
Right-click the Harvester to open its main screen. Here you can see its status and access its core functions.
Click "Start Mission" to see the list of destinations available to this specific Harvester. Each mission has a tier, fuel cost, and travel time.
When a mission starts, the Harvester will launch into the sky, leaving a landing pad in its place. The landing pad is indestructible while the mission is ongoing.
When the Harvester returns, it will land and you can access its inventory via the main screen to collect your hard-earned resources!
Use your new resources to unlock powerful upgrades in the "Upgrades" tab. Each upgrade enhances the Harvester and adds new visual parts to its model.
