Lisabet Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I actually have several worlds that I've put anywhere from 40 to 80 hours into and never had a meteorite hit my base area. It feels like having the setting at 1 chunk minimum actually has it hit at least 1 chunk away. Only the mod writer could verify that though. *edit* Hmm, well my new closest one is still over 50 blocks from the base. The pink marker is spawn and I had my mouse over my location at where it hit. I suppose it may depend on how large your building is, it may not be worth the risk? Edited January 24, 2021 by Lisabet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrafn Rune Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I've been using this for near two weeks now in non-destructive to test it and not risk turning on destructive due to my large base and I'm glad I have. I love this mod and it's great visually but I did see a meteor hit my largest castle tower right where my bedroom and some storage is. This isn't a detractor from the mod, my castle and town is just large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozarati Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Simply configure it to the minimum size of your base. The blocks it destroys is usually like not bigger than a 5x5x5 area(or so). I would also turn down the frequency, due to receiving way more uranium in the span of a couple days than I think is healthy. Chasing the meteors and having more ores above ground is very nice.

Hrafn Rune Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thank you for the advice, but if I stand in the centre of my base, I can't see all of it because it lies outside of my render distance. For me, destructive just isn't feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaCraluminum Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) What to do if after each new game (or load the saved game) the config is always returned to default? Edited February 8, 2021 by Craluminum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avos Cast Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 This mod is amazing. A meteorite exploded over my house and the pieces rained down in the dark, it was amazing. I had no idea what the rumbling roar was. it was awesome. I saw you talking about sounds, some break the sound barrier *hint hint* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that the value changed in the config is invalid. A new config is generated in such a case to avoid further problems with the mod. Could you post your config file contents so that I can diagnose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conquest of Blocks Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I like the mod, it provides some more atmosphere. But the sound is a bit cheap, in my humble opinion. I would wish for something with more "power" behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I have noticed that with this mod on my Ubuntu server, that sometimes when I connect to the server I get meteors raining down everywhere, like 1 a second. When I leave then return to the server it is ok them. I have a real long time between meteors set on the server config file. I have the mod installed for both client and server. The client config is default. Can't figure out what is going on, but have had it happen a few times in the last week. This is my server config file: { "Destructive": true, "MinimumMinutesBetweenMeteorSpawns": 1440, "MaximumMinutesBetweenMeteorSpawns": 525600, "MinimumSpawnDistanceInChunks": 1, "MaximumSpawnDistanceInChunks": 6, "MinimumMeteorLifespanInSeconds": 2, "MaximumMeteorLifespanInSeconds": 10 } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns that number into a negative and thus, the spawner will always spawn meteors indefinitely. With a little reworking I THINK I can fix it to work. I'll see what I can do-but for now, you could dial back the maximum minutes to avoid the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entity is removed from the play session but I suppose still exists on the save file. It shouldn't cause problems. Maybe a serverside wipe of entities will eliminate the error or some targeted removal of that particular entity. That might need the mod installed... I don't know for sure. Just installing it again and waiting for it to blow up might be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowfire117 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 A very lovely mod! I love having a meteor come by and liven up the day! I'm currently on 1.5.5, but no matter if I set meteoric destruction to true or false. They always explode mid air and the particles rain down. My big confusion is that I have scoured 7 sites so far where I have confirmed I was underneath it, but no traces of small meteoric iron clumps nor any craters. Is this a possibly a bug or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're wanting to see them hit the ground more often then you'd want to increase the min and max meteor lifespan config options.They only ever drop resources when they hit the ground, too.

Ah, yeah I tried with longer lifespan and finally one crashed and ore was spawned. Thanks for the explanation, and once more thanks for a stellar mod! Do you plan on making more random weather event to liven up the skybox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
