Regarding the coal ore, actually I would say to *keep* doing that, and perhaps also throw in some obsidian into the ejecta also. Remember that a meteorite impact dumps huge amounts of energy into the crust, so things like obsidian and carbon deposits wouldn't be unheard-of in an impact crater.

I agree with this statement, but perhaps other metals and even a few mese crystals could be in the craters as well.VanessaE wrote:Regarding the coal ore, actually I would say to *keep* doing that, and perhaps also throw in some obsidian into the ejecta also.

Thanks for your comments.
Casimir,
The impacts are triggered occasionally by abm on dirt, grass and sand nodes. The mese block doesn't actually fall, what happens is you hear a bang and the crater is generated.
As the crater is excavated the primary excavated nodes (stone, desert stone, dirt, grass, desert sand, sand, trees) are counted and then randomly layered back onto and around the crater in the same proportions and with the same total number of nodes. Stone is broken into gravel. Grass becomes dirt. Water, snow, plants are assumed to be vapourized and are not counted. As the ejected material is added it strips surrounding trees of their leaves.
Finally damage is inflicted to nearby players depending on distance, a direct hit is fatal.
This code is derived from my moonlet realm generator mod, which also has meseor impact, the moonlet realm has little atmosphere so meseor impact is common. Meseor impact is so much fun i had to add it to the normal landscape.
Apparently Mese is "possibly of extra-terrestrial origin" so naturally it falls as meseors.
VanessaE and Inocudom,
Yeah currently i'm trying to find the balance between simplicity and being anal when it comes to which nodes to count and which to place. Obsidian and mese crystal are certainly good ideas, but i'm still on 0.4.4 so can't use those nodes myself, but i may write them in anyway.

Iron meteors would deposit iron at the impact site. Depending on the size of the meteor though having even a 1x1x1m core left in the hole would in the real world have meant a rather huge rock falling out of space and not only a 58m crater but likely something in the order of kilometre wide spreading of material, occlusion of the sky, plant death etc. :-)
Alright voxel worlds are not supposed to be realistic at all, so some artistic flexibility must be allowed.
But iron cores is my suggestion.

Re: Meteor impacts (meseor mod in progress)
Uhm... I've been thinking about meteors and craters for a couple of months, but you seem to have beat me to it...
Does it work and where can i get the mod after 9+ years?
