Meteors hit. Spiders crawl from the craters. What could be more fun?

Attention all personnel in the area, a meteor storm is approaching. These meteors may contain unknown and potentially hazardous substances. You are advised to stay indoors and avoid any contact with the meteors. Remain calm. Your safety is a priority.

Note: Environment Hostility must be set to anything but safe

Logging

(true/false) For troubleshooting. Will spam your log and chat. Don't turn this on.

SpawnProbability

(0-1) Chance of each meteor impact creating spiders. Default value: 1

MinSpawn

(natural number) When an impact spawns spiders, this is the minimum number of spiders created. Default value: 1

MaxSpawn

(natural number) When an impact spawns spiders, this is the maximum number of spiders created. Default value: 3

SpawnDistance

(meters) Impacts that are beyond this distance from all players will not spawn spiders. This is a performance setting. Default value: 500 meters

SpiderTypes

(spider SubtypeId) These are the spider models that will be used when spawning. They can be copied directly from the SupportedSpiderTypes section. Duplicate entries increase the relative frequency of that spider type being spawned.

SupportedSpiderTypes

(spider SubtypeId) These are the available spider types that the mod can spawn. This may change depending on the mods you have installed. Changing this list does nothing, it is merely for information. You can directly copy any entry here into SpiderTypes.

Works well with the following mods

[h2]Voxel Repair Tip[/h2] There is no way for this mod to prevent voxel damage. However you can use the following process to reset voxels to their unmodified state. [olist] [*]Enable "Voxel Hands" in your game's settings. [i]This cannot be done from inside the game.[i] [*]Load the game and select the Voxel Hand sphere tool (available from the g-menu) [*]Use 'K' to open the tool settings and adjust the size until it is larger than 20 [*]Use CTRL+right click and drag the mouse around the damaged voxels to reset them. [/olist] This voxel-reset technique is a bit finicky, so don't expect it to work like a paintbrush. You'll need to jiggle the mouse around a bit. Larger sizes are easier to use, but less precise.
