Yeah this is definitely super early in development right now and, frankly, not yet worth playing. I've mostly uploaded an early version to reserve the name, but yeah for the foreseeable future, I'd assume that most mods will not be compatible with it until I get around to adding that compatibility.
EDIT: I realized just now that you weren't talking about a particular mod and in fact said you don't have any mods installed
Yeah this mod doesn't boot on its own yet since I'm messing around a lot with labs and technologies at the moment. Currently I'm able to do my testing by using the Creative Mod, if you'd really like to load it up and see what's going on so far. I'll add this to the dependencies for the foreseeable future while the mod is in this super early state.
