OutlandCraft is a Minecraft server based loosely on the movie Outland (1981). This is the story of Con-Am X12, a scientific reseach facility operated by the Con-Amalgamated Corporation floating in a thin layer of breathable air around Jupiter.

Con-Am X12's official mission is to develop a new energy source from the gases of Jupiter's upper atmosphere. But deep in the bowels of the research lab is the real reason for X12's existence: Scientists have recently discovered the ability to teleport people and small objects to distant worlds.

Wormholes can be created, but to where is not known. What is known is the wormhole can be kept up for exactly 1 week. Because this research project is very expensive, Con-Amalgamate insists it pay for itself by mining each new world it discovers.

This is where YOU come in. You have been recruited from the best of the best miners of Con-Am's most profitable installations. You'll start out in the dormitory you're familiar with.

However, because this is a long-term assignment, you have the ability to earn the rights to purchase better accommodations and build your own modules on the station. With time and hard work, you can move up through the ranks to become part of the Administrative staff of this, or other mining facilities.

All technologies at Con-Amalgamated's disposal will become available once we re-tool it to work in Jupiter's atmosphere and through the Teleport Gates. This includes RedPower, ComputerCraft and IndustrialCraft

If you so choose to join the Con-Am X12's team, you will be among the most privileged of all mining personnel in the company.
