Maybe you can think of replacing the MESE block with FLOC crystal. It seems more credible, and intrigue player because he asks, "but where does this strange material?"

Wow, amazing idea.

That would probably be better (except for the the name, FLOCor does not sound as good as MESEor), becuase if mese comes from space, then why is it only found deep underground?

Yeah ... i agree screenshots with default textures are preferable ... i now intend to put more effort into that.

Survivor:

(directly above the mese block)

You need to make a protecter. My idea is that first you have the basic o block range detector. Give it a mese crystal and the range will increase by 25. The max should be 100. What do you think?

Yeah ... it's a good idea that i'll contemplate for the future ... at the moment i don't have the inspiration to work on it.

One thing you could do is have craters appear during world generation and add an option that can turn the random chance of their being a meseor impact on already created chunks on and off. The protectors mentioned by Evergreen could provide a form of protection from meseor impacts as well as other forms of destruction (even griefing.) These protectors could be made out of both mese crystals and diamond crystals.

Good idea, thanks.

I think they are a little too common. I had 2 craters appear right next to each other.

Try increasing MSRINT and / or MSRCHA. However sometimes the abm triggers several times in rapid succession, whatever MSRINT is set to, and especially when moving fast, i don't know how to control this. You could consider it a meseor shower, real meteors often break up during descent.

It might also have been because I had only a few blocks loaded, so there was only a few areas for them to go.

Can you give more detail on how to create a specific safe zone? I intended to create one, but after a few days time my entire map to a single side has been destroyed, not that i mind, it has created a aesthetic difference of war-ish type look, but I wanted to have it only happen in very far out regions at very random time frequencies to make a wilderness type land the farther you go outwards.

If you could help it would be very much appreciated thanks.

Hey i'm glad you didn't lose anything valuable ... i guess i should mention i haven't yet tested the safe area function ... another reason to always test mods yourself.

The safe area is a rectangle whose north edge is (SA)ZMAX, south edge ZMIN, east edge XMAX, west edge XMIN.
That will override the impact area it is inside, which by default covers everything from -16000 to 16000 x and z.

Finally increase MSRCHA, add 1 or 2 zeros on the end, to make impacts less frequent and more random.

Safe area is now tested and works but keep in mind that although the crater centre may be outside the safe area the debris can extend 70m into the safe zone.
New version coming with many improvements ... ongen craters with the abm optional.

In that case I'll wait for the new one, it sounds exciting! I was thinking of adding lore to my server, so this mod could play an important role in that, but one request, could u make it both generate and real time?

If i understand you correctly ... yes, impacts 'on generated chunk' and impacts by abm will both be optional and can be used at the same time.

Version 0.2.0.
Link, details and new screenshots in first post. Pushed to github.

May you use voxelmanip for this mod, too?

Good idea, after 0.4.11 stable is released.
