📖About 📖
Ad Astra! (translation: "To the Stars!") is a space mod for Fabric and Forge with a focus on technology, travel and exploration. We've got everything you need to become an astronaut: rockets, space suits, space stations and machines. Why not take a stroll on the Moon? Build a self-sustaining bunker on Mars? Go mining on Venus? The entire Solar System, better yet, Milky Way, is at your disposal!
- Five celestial bodies: The Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury and Glacio, in two different solar systems. Each planet
expresses a distinctive flair, with specific mobs and unique materials.
- Vehicles: Four rocket tiers for interplanetary travel and a rover for traversing the rough, alien terrain ahead.
- Technology: Standard processing machines and generators, along with oxygen generation and distribution, fuel refining,
water pumping, cable, fluid pipes and a rocket workbench.
- Building: Spruce up your builds with over 250 building blocks, ranging from planet-specific bricks and stones to space
station deco and metal plating.
- An in-game guidebook, explaining everything you need to progress and prosper in Ad Astra!

How do you make fuel in Ad Astra?
Fuel is refined from oil. Collect oil where it spouts over the ocean surface — it is non-renewable, so gather plenty, at least six buckets for a launch and return — then process it in a refinery. Load three buckets of fuel into your rocket before launch.
How do you get oxygen to breathe on the Moon?
Use an oxygen loader, which extracts oxygen from water: place water in the machine and collect the oxygen into a gas tank or your space suit. For a whole room, an oxygen distributor fills a sealed area with breathable air using a water source, a water pump and energy.
What rocket do you need to reach each planet?
Each tier is built at the Nasa Workbench from a better metal: the Tier 1 Rocket (steel) reaches the Moon, Tier 2 (desh, mined on the Moon) reaches Mars, Tier 3 (ostrum, from Mars) reaches Venus and Mercury, and Tier 4 (calorite) leaves the solar system for Proxima Centauri.
How do you make steel in Ad Astra?
Steel is made in the Etrionic Blast Furnace, which combines iron and coal to produce one Steel Ingot per iron and coal. Steel is essential for machines and the first rocket.
How do you generate power in Ad Astra?
Energy is the core resource for every machine. Start with a coal generator, then upgrade to a self-reliant solar panel that produces more energy per tick. Move power with steel or faster desh cables, and store it in an energizer or a portable Etrionic Capacitor.
What is cryo fuel and how do you make it?
Cryo fuel is a better fuel made in the Cryo Freezer from ice — Ice, Packed Ice, Blue Ice or an Ice Shard each freeze into Cryo Fuel. Beyond fueling, placed cryo fuel damages anything inside it, similar to lava.
