I've been trolled by Falling Meteors... Any ideas?

[Shazam08]

Oh, the majestic Bluepower volcano. How I longed to hollow you out and live inside! Tunnels and caverns lit by lava, trimmed with basalt- Ah! A masterpiece of architecture. It would be beautiful. Magnificent. Glorious.

...Unless, of course, I was BROADSIDED BY A DAMN ICE METEOR.

The Frezarite immediately melted, flooding about half the volcano's exterior. Bonus shot of the impact zone:

Not sure where to go with my hollow-volcano build now. I was planning to replace the exterior basalt with glass, which would be covered completely on the outside by natural lava. Wouldn't work with transparent water, though.

Should I painstakingly remove the water and replace the lava? Should I leave the location entirely? Should I just roll with it?

Ummm this is funny. Sorry bout it

It may be easier to relocate & hope (although I suspect the mod providing the meteors will randomly spawn them in loaded chunks, meaning where you are & where your base is, typically), but if you want a project:
1. Stop the flow of lava temporarily.
2. Throw gelid chryothium at the water (finally a use for florbs!).
3. Silk touch the ice.
4. Wand of equal trade the cobble (or dig it up).
5. Wand of equal trade the surface basalt.
6. Let the lava flow again.

P.S.: I am liking BluePower more than Project Red so far, but I haven't gotten as far as any technical builds yet.

Ha, still using iron tools with no infrastructure whatsoever. I will, eventually, equal trade that cobble for something nicer, but for now steps 1-3 are out of my reach.

Also, Falling Meteors provides a "Meteor Shield" which I have since acquired.

Only a Sith deals in meteor shields. Actually it was legit.

Time machine. Always time machine.

 

[ratchet freak]

most of the water source blocks should be up top, just remove those and all the other water will disapear

 

[PODonnell]

If you want lava flow why not just pour lava over the water? You'll have a lot of stone to remove, but I believe you where already planning on that.

Hrm. Will a falling meteor trigger TNT?

I have...expectations...

 

[nvrsbr]

I had a meteor hit about 2 blicks from me once, closest one has ever come to hitting my base.
I never build anything anymore without a meteorshield.

I'm an idiot and haven't backed up the world recently. Besides, that would be admitting defeat.

All the source water was originally Frezarite blocks, so it's all over the place.

Most meteors cause fire in some form anyway, but the initial explosion might trigger it too. You can predict where they land with a Timer and, uh, "plan accordingly".

Openblock sponges?

Openblock sponges?

The modpack I'm on, ImpactFlux, doesn't include Openblocks.
