I don’t normally do videos about mods that are under active development, or that have not already been out there for a while, but this time I found myself breaking my own rule because I think this one is an up and comer and well worth a serious look. I recently talked about the Small Ships mod, and on the surface, this might seem like a Small Ships clone. There is indeed, a lot of overlap. However, there is much that differs between the two and I will go into detail about those differences, so please join me to learn more. Take a look yourself and let me know what you think.

A deep dive is probably closer to a tutorial video than a showcase video… but it has elements of both while not exactly being either.  These are more like explanations of what is possible with each mod and are really intended to help you figure out what a mod does… or does not do… and whether it would be a good fit for your game.

I also want to point out that these videos will be directed  from the point of view of PC users using a keyboard and mouse and otherwise running with default settings.   If you running on a Mac or console, or use a gamepad on the PC some of the control options and elements will undoubtedly be different, but the functionality demonstrated should still be valid.

The mod can be found on CurseForge:

I strongly encourage you to go download the mod and try it for yourself. If you like it, please reach out to the mod owner and let them know. It is always good for mod authors to hear that all their efforts are appreciated and enjoyed and used. It keeps them going and of course, that means more great mods to choose from in the future.

I have also used a number of additional mods in creating this video to improve the appearance or quality of the final result.
