Thank you MeteorCraft for ...

Dude, I was laughing so hard during my first meteor shower... and then I realized I would have to clean it all up. Disabled as well.
 
I found a meteor that was about 50% endstone the first day of Monster. Just a matter of time until one slams into my workshop though, I reckon.
 
Yeah once I start Monster(once its out of beta), this is one of the things that get disabled straight away.
 
Oh yeah, after the first one hit my base I instantly changed the config to only skyburst in the overworld. But lets be honest, free resources raining from the sky? Just a tad over the top.
 
I didn't laugh one single bit.

You know how it is .... you start with a hole in a wall, gather mats and all, then scout for a place to call home, build a proper base and move to it.

After days of scouting, I found the spot I had always dreamed of. Flat ground, plenty of trees, nice biomes all around. It was exactly what I was looking for. I start building my place, and like 10 blocks shy of declaring it complete I see "Meteor shower starting..."

2 minutes later this is what I see:

As you can see from the minimap, this crap stretches on for miles.

I wasn't happy. At all :(
 
I guess I was kinda lucky.. alot of my base is surrounded by water. Gives me an excuse to try out the gear from Mariculture!
 
I tried cleaning up at first, but gave up after a while. There's way too much. It's in the ground, in the trees, in the lakes .. and half the trees got burned down anyways. I half expected to find random blocks under my pillow after I switched off the PC.

I just sulked (after a ragequit) and found a new place (which isn't as good).
 
Do they only fall at night like Ars Meteors? If so you could set up an MFFS forcefield linked to a day light sensor to shield the base at night.

My total technology amounted to a steam dynamo, a pulveriser and redstone furnace at that moment.

And no, they fall randomly around the clock. The shower was in broad daylight.
 
I got hit with my first meteor shower last night . . . It damaged my little manual farms, and there were resources for days! Diamonds Iridium Emeralds End Stone for my Ender lilys. I love it! Just going to move most of my stuff underground, and weather the storms.
 
Rotary craft should absolutely include a Meteor killer defense. Or at least something to make it fall in a specific area. Maybe a meteor attractor. And I was talking to Twisto mostly.
 
I've been playing with my girlfriend for a few days, and at first the meteors were neat - tons of free resources. Then after the 3rd one, they were messing with my OCD - I wanted to mow them down, but I didn't have chest space because they have 5 different kinds of Copper ore, etc.. So I expended the house to make space for chests, added the chests, and the very next meteor hit my beautiful cupula that I had just finished, and the fire burned down most of the rest of the house.

Patriot missles in Minecraft? I would subscribe to that newsletter.

Or maybe, we should just hire these guys;

Or make that a Galacticraft mission! Wouldn't that be awesome.

(pity the GC moongen crashes to hell in Monster)
 
I never gave it a chance. Made sure it was disabled (which it was by default) twice to make sure. Dying? Ha, tis lighter than a feather. Losing all my stuff I was carrying, annoying but this to shall pass. I can make new stuff. Destroying my base I worked on meticulously in every detail just so...Imma gonna cut a bitch.

Blowing up you starter dirt crybox, hilarious. Blowing up hours of detailed work on my super base, unacceptable.

Free materials lying about the smoking ruins is lame condolence. Diamonds from the sky is just not how I want to play anyway. Too easy, base crushing aside. Not that digging a hole is hard, but yanno, that's how it feels to me. Your mileage may vary, but I like Minecraft not Clean Up on Ailse Smoldering Dreams Craft.

MeteorCraft is not for me.
