Meteorite impacts ruin terrain.

[Cell the Destroyer]

I dont like how they destroy the ground when they hit. They destroy everything.
Oh... And one just nailed MY HOUSE. Dispite all my time playing terraria, i dont know if there are areas where they will not hit, or is everything on the surface just fair game for random anihilation.

Next time you make a house you should add a protective dome above it.

it only hits the outer 2/3rds of the map. middle third should be safe

I built it inside of a mountain, damage was minimal, but I had to go get 600 dirt to repair the mountain

Metors wont crash within 50 meters of a chest and sky bridges help.

They do not land within 25 tiles of an npc or chest, so you can just place empty chests in the most important places (near base & Dungeon entrance).
Sky bridges help, but if hit only a few tiles are converted, you'll need to repair and the meteorite impacts will never stop.

To get rid of the impacts once and for all, just collect all the meteorite and put it somewhere above 0 depth where it doesn't bother you. (i usually just build a big block in space layer over one ocean.
Once there is 400/600/800 (S/M/L world) meteorite above 0 depth on your map, the impacts will stop happening.

just place like 1000 meteorite ore and meteors will stop spawning

If npcs are a repleent of meteorites, then I should probably finish my house and get all the npcs into it. Still missing angler and party girl.
