What is the finial tech level?

[AngryRob]

Is the tech level going to stop at the steam age, or are we going to go IC2/ big reactors? Going from stone age to space age would be one hell of a game.

Steam Age, is the plan.

The game does provision high-tech ores for modders to use though. Stuff like uranium and titanium is already generating in worlds today.

To the best of my knowledge, it is intended to use everything that is in the game, in the vanilla game itself.  I don't think anything is there 'just for modders'.   But in many cases it won't be the obvious use.  And remember that the game does have a certain level of 'magi-tech', so some uses might not be strictly realistic.    Bauxite for instance, people assume would be used for aluminum.  You should get a use for bauxite by the end of 1.14, but it won't be for aluminum though.  It's a happy side-effect that modders can hopefully use these same assets for their more advanced tech mods.

Well it already has a good mod scene, and mods are very easy to install, and the alloy system is good already. So i can see high tech mods being easy to do. A galcticraft style mod would be off the chain....

What I would love to see is some kind of steerable Airship (hot air balloon or zeppelin/dirigible, and once we get to a Steam Age - vehicles similar to Mr. Crayfish's from MC.

That and captain nemo style submarines and dive suits. Could you imagine instead of the neither or the end it's a giant underwater sunken city filled with dangerous fishmen, colossal squid, and the throne of Old Greg?
