Outposts is a mod about expansion, exploration, and network building. You are a newly contracted employee of the Red Moon Trading Company, who has deployed pod outposts across the surface of Nauvis. Your job is to connect the appropriate outposts together (often by train) and deliver final products to the central hub. To facilitate this, you are given a variety of useful tools for an accelerated start and an exploration vehicle, which clears trees and rocks from your path automatically.

My alpha test took about 2 hours to build a red and green science factory, then about 4-6 hours after that to complete the orders. The mod is designed to only need green science (for trains), and no oil products (of course, you can progress through the scientific tiers if you wish). If you are interested, please reply or pm me and I'll get you set up!

I like this. (Not opting to test, but I like this.)
Good luck.

Thanks for the interest- that helps gauge the scope of the mod. A number of testers from Reddit are currently playing, so hopefully the final release will be within the week.

I'm a bit late to the party, but are you still looking for testers? I could just something new, and I'd be happy to dive into it and give you my thoughts if you still need that.
