Cavern is a depth layer... Snow biome has a cavern layer... Jungle has a cavern layer... Forest has a cavern layer... Cavern layer everywhere oO
In the jungle there is wood underground in the cavern layer, yes, really
Hmm wood in the meteorite biome... hmm, lets say the meteorite biome spreads by radiation, then trees could mutate by the radiation, same for the mobs in the impact/spread area... There is the (real life) logic that could be behind it. A virus would be ok too imo. You know?! Viruses are dna fragments that insert themself into the dna of the infected cell. After that the infected cell reproduces itself with the dna alteration. For stone, sand,... the radiation approach would be the better idea thou^^
As is posted before, this kinda reminds me of the movie 'Evolution'.
Hard to farm meteorite because of some worms and spiky slimes? Deal with it
Did you ever play hardcore and went to the jungle early game to get the blade of grass, ivy whip and thorn chakram? That is hard with all those hornets and man eaters^^ Even with shadow/crimson armor. Poison debuff D: Beozar to negate it, ok, but you need to get it first^^ And there are spiky slimes and worms as well^^
A monster variety in the meteorite biome does not hurt at all. Not as boring as those brainless 'fly straight at the hero' meteor heads. Worms are almost the same, ok, but look different and make that creepy noise^^ Slimes/spiky slimes... build a wall that they can not jump over while you are mining -> no threat anymore.
If you don't like slimes and worms make some suggestions (and maybe add sprites) that fit the theme of the biome.
My 2 cents about all that blabbering about slimes and worms.
If you find typos, keep them as a trophy
