Meteorite events

Not always, but they naturally pull players into conflict. Many servers treat the crater as fair game even if the rest of the world is calmer. If you want a more peaceful run, look for rules like PvE-only events, claim protection, or a brief grace window before PvP starts.

Typically concentrated ores plus event materials: fragments for crafting, upgrade items, or ingredients for custom enchants and gear. On well-tuned servers, it accelerates progression or enables sidegrades, not basic survival necessities.

Extraction. The consistent winners arrive quickly, take a manageable haul, and leave on purpose. Teams control approaches and high ground; solo players do better by grabbing the core or a few stacks and bouncing before the crater turns into a siege.

Often yes, and that is part of the appeal. Some servers mitigate it by limiting impacts to a resource world, repairing craters after a timer, or restricting where meteors can land to keep build areas clean.

Common schedules range from hourly to a few times a day, sometimes scaling with player count. The healthiest cadence is predictable enough to plan around, but not so constant that impacts become background noise.
