Ferrum Aetheris is a modded RP SMP where the world was drained long ago by ancient builders and now it is slowly coming back to life. New races live in the ruins and you get to decide if you keep doing what the old builders did or if you try something better.
The server is very focused on player choice. Almost everything is either generated by the world or built by players. Admins are not flying around with creative and worldedit trying to force a story. You shape the world one block at a time and the history in the future is based on what players do.
Roleplay here is mostly casual and not scripted unless there is a really good reason. There is no big audience to entertain. People are just trying to have fun and tell small stories with their friends.
The modpack has around 120 mods and covers a lot of playstyles. There are mods for moving ships and machines so you can build airships trains and elevators that actually move. There are engineering mods and magic mods so redstone fans and magic fans both have stuff to do. There are custom races with unique traits and abilities plus a bunch of different metals tools and weapons if you like detailed crafting.
The world generation is also very boosted with new biomes caves mountains and structures so exploring feels fresh and different.
