gollark: Anyway, AR is too multiblocky, the vast amount of planets aren't very interesting, I don't actually care about designing a custom rocket, and having to research planets or something is annoying.
gollark: So, anyway, would you "host" this "modpack" or an approximation thereof? Heavpoot's server is bad and laggy (some offense).
gollark: Anyway, "heav"poot, having to restart the game whenever I die is not optimal.
gollark: I mean, Galacticraft has the same... space things?
gollark: Interesting! However, I realized that I actually didn't like it much and it has too many multiblocks.
