PECUNIA PER KERBULUS

Preamble by Eleusis La Arwall

This pack contains a Furnace and a ChemicalReactor to convert Ore to Metal and a 3D-Printer to print RocketParts from Metal. Also some launchpads that require ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads to assemble vessels from Rocketparts and some tanks to store Metal and RocketParts. The production-chain is very basic: Ore --> Metal --> RocketParts --> Vessel.

Installation Directions [^1]

Use CurseForge/OverWolf App (currently does not install dependencies)

Whilst I agree CKAN is a great mod for those that can't use zip tools. I take no part, nor am I interested in maintaining the CKAN mod metadata for my mods. Please don't ask me about it but refer to the CKAN mod thread if you are having issues with CKAN or the metadata it maintains. Beware, CKAN can really mess up though it tries very, very, very hard not to.
