</>What does Meteor Control do?
The meteor showers in The Planet Crafter drop ore and shake up the sky on the game's own schedule. Meteor Control hands you the dial. Want resources right now? Trigger a shower on demand and watch the sky light up. Farming ore in bulk? Turn up the frequency so showers roll in far more often than normal. Trying to line up a clean screenshot or just enjoy the view? Flip to peaceful skies and keep the weather calm and clear. Everything reads live and reverts the moment you dial it back, so you can go from a meteor storm to a quiet night and back again without touching your save. Great for stocking up on ore, setting a mood for a build showcase, or just enjoying a little control over the heavens.

</>Common questions about Meteor Control
What does Meteor Control do in The Planet Crafter?
Meteor Control is a weather mod for The Planet Crafter from ProjectMods that puts the game's meteor showers under your command. In vanilla play, showers arrive on the game's own timer and random chance, dropping ore and changing the sky. Meteor Control gives you three levers instead: a button to trigger a shower right now, a frequency slider that makes showers roll in far more often than normal, and a peaceful-skies switch that keeps the weather calm and clear. Everything reads live and reverts the moment you dial it back, so nothing is baked into your save.
Does the Trigger Meteor Now button drop ore in The Planet Crafter?
Yes. The Trigger Meteor Now button in Meteor Control starts one of the game's real meteor showers, including the ore-bearing ones. It uses the game's own shower system, so the ore, the sky effects, and the sound all play exactly like a natural shower - it just happens the instant you press the button instead of when the game's random timer decides. It's the fastest way to top up ore when you're mid-build and don't want to wait around for the next natural shower.
Can I make meteor showers happen more often in The Planet Crafter?
Yes. The frequency slider in Meteor Control raises how often the game tries to launch a shower. At the default setting the game behaves normally; turn it up and showers roll in far more frequently, which is ideal for farming ore in bulk or for a busy, dramatic sky. Because the mod reads the slider live, you can push it up for a farming session and drop it back to normal afterward without restarting or editing your save.
How do I get clear skies with Meteor Control in The Planet Crafter?
Flip on the peaceful-skies switch. Meteor Control tells the game to hold off the meteor rain, so the weather stays calm and clear for as long as the switch is on. It's perfect for lining up a clean screenshot, filming a build tour without meteors streaking through the shot, or just enjoying a quiet night on your planet. Turn the switch back off and the game's normal weather resumes right away.
Does Meteor Control change my save or work in co-op in The Planet Crafter?
Meteor Control drives the game's own weather system live rather than rewriting anything in your save, so turning any option back to normal restores vanilla behavior instantly. Triggering a shower and changing the frequency run through the host, so in a co-op session the host controls the weather for everyone, exactly like the game's own showers. It's built to work with the game's systems rather than around them, which keeps it stable across updates and multiplayer.
