Giant Meteor Shower [1.1.4]

This mod causes meteors to generate ore boulders when they come into contact with the soil of a planet.

I set up a wiki and a discord to keep discussions, roadmap information and bug reporting.

Once added to the save, the mod will create a configuration file within the save storage called "GiantMeteorShower.Settings.cfg".
In this file it is possible to customize the entire behavior of the functionality.

Enabled : Defines whether the mod is active or not.
DistanceToSpawn : Sets the maximum distance from active player to validate whether a meteor impact should create a boulder.
StoneLifeTime : Sets the lifetime of a boulder in seconds.
DespawnDistance : Defines the maximum distance from an active player and/or active grid to despawn a boulder.
DisableMeteorCrater: If the value is true then no craters are created on planets with the impact of meteors.
MeteorScale : Defines a size range for meteors, impacts damage and crater size.

ChanceToSpawn : Chance of an impact generating a boulder.
Stones : List of boulder definitions that can be created in an impact.

GroupId : Name of the VoxelMapStorage to be created on impact, by default the mod uses two values (SnowCoverageIronCore, StoneCoverageIronCore) that represent the planets' boulders. But this value can be from any VoxelMapStorage loaded in the save.
ModifierId : Name of the VoxelMaterialModifier to be applied to the voxel after it is created, by default the mod will load all those available in the save, to remove one in addition to removing it from the list you must add it to the ignore list.
ChanceToSpawn : Chance of this stone option being used, the total value of this property added across the entire list must be 1, if it is different from 1 the mod will adjust the value of each option so that the total remains 1.

This group of settings allows you to customize behavior by planet type. By default the mod will load all planet types in the list to help with configuration.

ReplaceDefault : Defines whether the configuration will replace the default, if true then the values of "ChanceToSpawn" and "Stones" will be used on this planet. This values has the same function as in Default Impact Configs.
ChanceMultiplier : When "ReplaceDefault" is false then it is possible to define a multiplier for the chance of creating a boulder. Example: The default value sets the chance to 0.25 and this property has the value 2, so on this planet the chance is 0.5 when creating a stone on impact.

A list of VoxelMaterialModifiers that will be ignored by the mod.

A list of Planets that will be ignored by the mod.

Just open the chat and type the commands below with a "/" in front, if the player has administrator privileges they will be executed.

You can change the values of some configuration properties while the game is running. This command has a syntax with some parameters, just place after the name of the command the property you want to change and then the value to be defined.
How to use and compatible properties:

/gms.settings debug <true/false>
/gms.settings enabled <true/false>
/gms.settings distancetospawn <number>
/gms.settings despawndistance <number>
/gms.settings disablemeteorcrater <true/false>
/gms.settings meteorscale <number min>:<number max>
/gms.settings fragmentation.chancetofragmentation <number>
/gms.settings fragmentation.canfragmentinspace <true/false>
/gms.settings fragmentation.numberoffragments <number min>:<number max>
/gms.settings defaultimpact.chancetospawn <number>

Spawns a meteor in front of the player using the camera direction.
How to use:

/gms.spawnmeteor

Removes all rocks created by meteors.
How to use:

/gms.clearstones

For this mod I still want to add a configuration to define whether an impact material allows generating stones, an example of application would be to configure a planet to only generate stones in the desert.

The mod has no issue with multiplayer.
