Hey there! I would like to request a mod that adds a new entity next to the player on world generation.
A crashed ship, What this would do is give starter equipment when mined explaining where you get the starting iron/copper and stuff.
This is HARDLY a big deal and would just be a fun little extra.

Doesn't the tutorial have a crashed-ship-shaped chest with items for you to pick up from it?

You could easily just make a container with the sprite of the crashed ship

I've sometimes thought there should be a patch of "spaceshipinite" or "crashinite" in the starting area... it would go great with harder-mining mods where most ores require extensive processing to get the metals out.

Yeah but its not minable

Well, just look at how trees were done. They should be he same thing you want, just change size, textures and drops.

This mod apperently has you start that way. Shame its outdated, and outdated in such a way that you can't just update it to latest version in 30 seconds like some mods.

Considering extracting that one part of it for a game start mod, actually.

Lol thanks guys, I already started making what I requested originally, thanks Rana I might be able to use that as a guide! I was having trouble making them spawn on world creation.
