Moonstone... everywhere

[WuffleFluffy]

Hi All,

Just wondering about something.. i'm playing the DW20 1.0.11 modpack (great modpack so far!) but there's one thing that I am beginning to find is a bit of a worry.

It's these constant explosion sounds, which is usually followed by chunks of Moonstone ore lying on the ground. After a few weeks my chunk-loaded base is pockmarked by this stuff, it's wrecking farmland and now it's turning up 'inside' my base.

Is there a way to protect an area from falling moonstone or is it a case of 'just dig it up and fix' damaged terrain and buildings?

Thanks,

-Wuffles

Hrm.. I had thought that Ars Magica had been configured so that Moonstone meteorites, which is what those explosions and the moonstone suddenly appearing are, would only happen on grass...

You can disable them damaging the land in the Ars Magicka config (AM2/AM2.cfg for me):
B:MoonstoneMeteorDestroyTerrain=false

I don't mind the idea myself, it means you have to go and find this resource to pursue Ars Magika, the only worry I have is that I am finding that my chunkloaded base often needs repair work done on my logistics pipe network as when these stones appear they often destroy pipes.

If you conceal your pipes like I do then it can take a while to work out where the breakage is (usually within a few blocks of the moonstone) and fix.

That is weird, the moonstone meteors should not spawn indoors. Something must be messed with your configs.

There is also a sigil you can place on the stand that attracts all meteor falls to it's location from within a 128 block radius, think it's the sigil of lunar tides.

Awesome, that's exactly what i was wanting to find out I'll go and see what's involved in making one!

I'd been of the impression that they're only supposed to fall near players?

That's a blessing, not a curse.

Moonstone is amazing for the Crafting Altar, as well as many other things that require it.

Such as summoning spells, which need a Crystal Phylactery(which needs some moonstone), the top level caps for the Light Nexus(Moonstone Blocks), and yes, the Crafting Altar can use Moonstone blocks, but if you can afford it, use Sunstone(it adds +11 to the effect limit rather then the +10 from Moonstone caps).

Currently, I have an altar with Stone bricks and Moonstone, and I haven't needed anything else (it also looks great with the rest of my home)
