[Release] Vanilla Quests Expanded - Cryptoforge (Patreon)

Vanilla Quests Expanded is a brand new series of mods that aims to add some interesting quest chains to the game, encouraging world map travel and quest interactions in order to obtain powerful rewards. Ultimately, it allows us to add some really cool mechanics without making an entirely separate Vanilla Factions Expanded mod for them.In Vanilla Quests Expanded - Cryptoforge, you will depart on a journey to the northern regions of the planet in order to find the legendary Cryptoforge - a large space ship that belonged to a nation of crypto-tech wielding space vikings. The ship has crashed generations ago, splitting into three distinct chunks. In order to find the stern and the bow of the ship, you will have to first use the relays of an abandoned scanning station. After you find the two large wrecks, you will have to explore them both: and each features a unique kind of threat. Prepare to fight extreme cold, to spend a decent amount of time trying to pry your way through the twisted wreck, to ultimately scan two black boxes which should give you the idea where the cryptoforge proper is.After you reach the final crash site, you will find a large, mostly intact chunk of the ship with the cryptoforge in it. It is encouraged that you prepare the site, bring some resources and your best crafters, and hunker down in the cryptoforge to craft all the gear that you may want. There will not be another opportunity to do so.The crypto-generator should keep the lights and the heating on for some time, and some turrets scattered around the wreck will help you against the waves of mechanoids that will constantly arrive. How long you decide to stay there depends entirely on you.Remember: Bring some resources, build up defenses on the location, prepare to withstand the waves of mechanoids, and craft whatever you want!
