Hey all, my friend just made a large blasting device from Tinker's and I want to try it out. I'm sort of nervous to lose a chunk of land (yay eyesores) and I'd like to be able to do it safely, so my friend and I went way far away from our base and want to detonate it.

I have a question about region editing/restoring. First, is there a tool that is plug-and-play that I can install and run to restore the hole we are about to make? Second is there a way to do it manually in the region saves directory? (Copy/delete/restore?)

Just wondering. Thanks!

Yes there is, the tool you are talking about is called ICBM (Inter continental Ballistic missiles) and its a mod :D You can just ignore the destructive mayhem that the mod provides and just spawn a bunch of healing explosives which will restore the chunk they are detonated on to its original state :)

Okay but that seems to only work for things fired off by that mod, not other land destruction.

Nope, it works perfectly with anything. Once destroyed some chunks with an ender quarry, then i was sad missing those chunks (Big squares in the minimap are ugly) so i repaired them with healing explosives :) Even if you build something, you have a base yuo don't like and want to destroy it quickly? Healing explosives! (No materials return, of course)

They RESET the chunk to its original state, NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO THEM.

(This also means that in case you istall a new mod without retrogen you can use this explosives in explored chunks to regenerate them with the new ores, done it 2 times by now)
