So, it's finally my turn to GM in my group of friends. We've had five other campaigns, all with a different GM, which have gone epicly. Each time we voted for a premise and then tried to find a system to fit it (We used to only do pathfinder until one off shoot campaign freed us.)

Now the new guy in the group, which everyone seems okay with but me, has convinced the rest of them they want to play a survival gathering game. Knowing him, he wants to play tabletop minecraft but calling him out didn't change their minds. I'm not gonna be the ass-head to quit on the rest of my friends just to spite this guy, so I need some help from you guys on a system recommendation. Friends have some requirements, wants, and dislikes I'll list, hit me with anything that you think may fit. Thanks ahead of time.

REQUIREMENTS:
Needs magic or a power that isn't guns & blades or vancian.
Some sort of survival aspect built in or from a sourcebook.
Less than ~50 pages of rules for players.

Wants:
Balanced character options, no tiers of classes.
Diverse setting options, system could be used fantasy, technopunk, modern, etc.

Dislikes:
Not FATE (Long story)
Simple combat
Railroaded progression systems (Like that of D&D 3.5 and PF where you need to take levels in low hp classes for good spells as an example.)
