The journey

From first step to lunar base

Six stages, in the order players meet them. Each one is a natural chapter for a video.

  1. Two astronauts and a small drone beside a rocket on the Moon, with Earth in the sky
    01

    Meet your Drone Companion

    The moment you join, a Drone Companion appears at your side. Hit it to open the guide, with the full route to the Moon and every recipe. Every few seconds it also shows a quick hint above its head, so stay close and read along.

  2. Metal Debris
    Moon Crystal Ore
    Silver Ore
    Enriched Crystal
    02

    Dig for Metal Debris

    The adventure starts underground in the Overworld. Metal Debris hides in stone near iron and copper veins, and it is the core material for almost every piece of Moon tech. Stock up on copper, glass, gold and redstone too, because every recipe asks for plenty.

  3. A rocket lifting off from a crater with a long plume of smoke, Earth glowing above
    03

    Build your rocket

    Craft a Launch Platform and place it on flat, solid ground. Then add the three rocket parts in order: Engine, Hull, Nose. Put on a full Spacesuit in the color you like, climb aboard and press jump.

  4. A glowing cyan dome over a small lunar base with a rover, chests and a player
    04

    Survive the surface

    You land on the Moon's own launch platform. Up here the oxygen bar drains fast and low gravity makes every jump float. Mine Moon Crystal Ore and Silver Ore, smelt them, craft an Oxygen Generator and a Gravity Generator, switch them on, and you have a safe zone to build in.

  5. An astronaut fires a bright blaster beam at red Regolith creatures on the Moon
    05

    Explore and grow

    Craft a Rover to cross the craters quickly and search old outposts for loot. Turn crystals, gold and redstone into Enriched Crystals: they fuel the Drill, power the Blaster and upgrade the generators. Keep the Laser Katana ready, because Regolith creatures roam the surface and the Queen keeps breeding more.

  6. A tall orange Drill towering over a lunar base of metal buildings
    06

    Make the Moon your home

    The final goal is a thriving lunar base. Upgrade the generators to double their radius, decorate with silver, metal and neon blocks, and set a Drill to mine for you. When you miss home, board the rocket and fly back to any of your Overworld platforms.

Gear and machines

What players craft along the way

Every recipe is in the Drone Companion guide in game. This is the short version.

Launch Platform

The gateway between dimensions. Needs a solid 6x6 area below it and open space above. The rocket is assembled at its front console.

Rocket parts

Engine, Hull and Nose, crafted from Metal Debris, copper, glass and redstone. They go on the platform in that exact order.

Spacesuit

Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots in six colors. Every piece extends how long your oxygen lasts.

Jetpack

Worn in the chest slot and charged with Moon Crystals. Hold jump in the air to boost, and it slows your fall on the way down.

Blaster

A ranged energy weapon with a bright beam. Each shot draws charge from an Enriched Crystal in your inventory.

Laser Katana

Close range, and every swing hits all enemies in a small radius. Built for Regolith swarms.

Rover

A drivable lunar vehicle. It turns, climbs ledges, jumps, and refills your oxygen slowly while you drive.

Drill

Automated mining below your base. One Enriched Crystal adds ten minutes of mining time; start and stop it from the panel.

Oxygen Generator

A breathable area 25 blocks wide, 50 once upgraded. Placed switched off and activated from its panel.

Gravity Generator

Normal gravity within 25 blocks, 50 once upgraded. Same panel, same 64-crystal upgrade.

Enriched Crystal

Moon Crystals, gold and a redstone block. The fuel for the Drill, the Blaster and both generator upgrades.

Neon Lights

Glass and a Moon Crystal make two strips. Nearby pieces snap into corners and junctions on their own.

The build kit

Metal and Silver pillars, Metal Panel, Tiles and Plating, Silver Grate, Tiles and Ribbing, all cut in a Stonecutter from Metal Debris or Silver Blocks, each with slabs, stairs and walls. Plus Moon Rock, Compressed Moon Rock, Moon Dust and Moon Basalt straight from the surface.

Details to show up close

Small things that read well on screen

Give these a second or two of camera time. Viewers notice them.

Earth in the sky

A pixel Earth hangs over every shot on the Moon. Tilt the camera up for the establishing shot.

Footprints in the dust

Players leave footprints as they walk across the surface. Film a walk from behind.

Drifting dust

Ambient moon dust drifts around players on the surface. Slow pans show it best.

Drone hints

The Drone Companion chirps when you hit it and shows a new hint every few seconds. Sneak-hit to pick it up and carry it.

Hologram prompts

Look at a machine, the Rover or the platform and a floating prompt shows what Interact and Hit do.

Six suit colors

Blue, orange, pink, purple, red and yellow. Match your channel, or dress a whole crew for a group shot.

Machine sounds

Generators hum, the drone talks, the rocket roars. Leave a few clips on game audio.

Old outposts

Abandoned outposts and ruins generate across the surface, with powered doors and loot chests to open on camera.

Neon that connects

Lay Neon Lights along a wall or floor and watch them join into lines, corners and crossings.

Settings for faster capture

Shortcuts for operators

The Drone Companion guide has a Settings page for world operators. Together with two commands, it covers most of what you need while recording.

Instant travel

Jumps you and your drone between dimensions without a rocket. Needs cheats enabled. Use it for B-roll and setup, then build the rocket for the real launch shot.

/scriptevent fg_md:travel moon
/scriptevent fg_md:travel overworld

Skybox distance

Guide, Settings, Visuals. Slide it up for wide shots of Earth and the stars. Keep your render distance at least 8 below the value, or the vanilla sun and moon can show through.

Footprints & dust

Two toggles in Visual Settings. Turn them off for clean product shots, back on for atmosphere.

Sound toggles

Mute the Drone Companion, the Oxygen Generator or the Gravity Generator for the whole world while you narrate.

Stage a fight

Queen Regolith and Small Regolith spawn eggs let you start a swarm exactly where the camera is.

Creative shortcuts

In Creative, the platform, generators, Rover and Drill are all in the inventory. Skip the mining when you only need footage.

FAQ

Questions players ask first

Useful when you answer comments, or when you get stuck yourself.

How do I start? I don't know what to do first.

Hit your Drone Companion. It opens a guide with the full route to the Moon and the recipe of every item. If you lost it, you can craft a new one.

Where do I find Metal Debris?

Underground in the Overworld, inside stone near iron and copper veins. It has two variants that work the same in every recipe.

My rocket won't launch. What am I doing wrong?

The platform needs a solid 6x6 area below it, with nothing blocking the space above. Add the parts in the exact order: Engine, Hull, Nose. Once all three are on, board the rocket and press jump.

I'm on the Moon and my generator does nothing. Why?

Generators are placed switched off. Interact with it, press Activate, and use Show Radius to see the area it covers.

Why does my oxygen run out so fast?

Without a helmet you last only a few seconds. A helmet gives you one minute, and each extra suit piece adds another. Oxygen refills fully inside an active Oxygen Generator and slowly while you drive the Rover.

How do I get back to the Overworld?

Walk back to the landing platform at 0, 0 (the locator bar points the way), board the rocket and press jump. You can pick any fully built Overworld platform as your destination.
