Description
Replaces some most normal dungeons, especially towns, within volcanic worlds with fireproof versions, where they aren't in danger of getting burnt down by fiery rain.

Tired of being wrongfully-accused of thievery when, in fact, the procedurally-generated city that you were exploring was falling apart because of the volatile weather? While this mod won't necessarily fix your woes with regards to meteors destroying cities, it should help alleviate the problem of cities getting destroyed by fiery rain... by replacing all of the flammable blocks, such as wood and wicker, with non-flammable ones like brick, clay, and metal.

For the time being, this mod only changes the dungeons that weren't built using Tiled, such as Grounded Avian Villages, Floran Tree Villages, and Glitch Villages, and only applies these changes for dungeons located on Volcanic planets. While I would like to apply these same changes to the other city dungeons that were built using Tiled, I, sadly, don't know how Tiled works, or where to get it.

For the time being, only regular dungeons are made fireproof, with the ones made using Tiled being given alternative fireproof tilesets to work with, with tiles being substituted with fireproof tiles of similar functionality, such as replacing wood, bamboo, wicker, thatch, vines, and other plant products with earthworks, metal, or stonework, and plants with crystals that, if you as me, provide a more eerily alien experience similar to seeing the spread of Tiberium from Command & Conquer. Therefore, microdungeons and bounty-generated structures are left unchanged (until further notice). Even then, these fireproof dungeons would only appear on volcanic planets (the only planets where fiery rain is present).

Disclaimer: I can't and won't assume responsibility if you try to terraform any non-volcanic planets into volcanic planets, only to be disappointed when the dungeons present on the planet you're terraforming don't become fireproof.

Note: This mod has a priority of -9998, meaning that, while its assets would most likely be loaded before most other mods (whom usually have a default priority of 0, since they usually don't specify one), there's also a heightened likelihood that other mods could overwrite this mod's changes. However, this usually shouldn't an issue for this mod, since it was designed with the intent of replacing something within the base game, instead of adding something new to it, and most mods that add new dungeons should ideally be structured to add them into existing dungeon lists, so as to make them more compatable with other dungeon-adding mods (and should ideally have a priority setting, if any, that's nowhere nearly as low as this mod's priority setting).

This mod doesn't seem to work actually! Coming across a Floran city on a volcanic planet, everything just starting burning the moment the fire rain started. It simply doesn't make the buildings fire proof.

seems rather obvious really good job.

"Sure its a volcano planet but lets just set up our wooden houses all over it."

"omg the sky is raining fire and now the whole villiage is on fire."

"hey whos that new xeno? he must be the one who made the fire rain! get him!"

THIS IS A LIFESAVER! I remember going to a Volcanic world and to a Glitch village where when something burned, they blamed ME FOR IT!

i always just pretended i arrived almost too late to save everyone xD (it also gave me a sense of urgency to loot every container i can find before they get destroyed)
