Pylons Prevent Evils

Pylons Prevent Evils: Master Biome Spread in tModLoader

Tired of the relentless creep of Corruption, Crimson, and the Hallow across your meticulously crafted worlds in tModLoader? Wish you could maintain pristine biomes without resorting to drastic, world-altering measures? Pylons Prevent Evils offers a sophisticated solution, empowering you to precisely control and even reverse biome spread around your essential Pylons.

Strategic Biome Control

This mod introduces a powerful yet intuitive system for managing biome proliferation. Instead of a blunt disable, Pylons Prevent Evils creates protective zones around your active Pylons, actively halting the spread of naturally occurring evils and the Hallow. This allows for targeted preservation of areas you wish to keep untainted.

Customizable Protection Radius

The effectiveness of your Pylon’s protective aura is directly influenced by your actions. By using specific powders near a Pylon, you can dynamically adjust its range:

• Purification Powder: Increases the protection radius by one tile with each use, extending up to a significant 160 tiles.
• Vile/Vicious Powders: Decrease the protection radius by one tile, useful for managing resource upkeep.

Each Pylon maintains its own independent protection stats, even when moved or destroyed. Furthermore, Pylons can actively cleanse corrupted or crimson blocks within their radius, but this purification effect is most potent when you are nearby.

Enhanced Pylon Defenses

Beyond simply halting spread, Pylons Prevent Evils offers an additional layer of defense. By utilizing Fallen Stars near an active Pylon, you can bolster its “Protection HP.” This enhanced Pylon can then absorb a significant portion of incoming enemy projectile damage, effectively shielding players and NPCs within its aura. This defensive capability can be further boosted in harder difficulties, making your Pylon bases far more resilient.

Modded Biome and Customization Options

This mod isn’t limited to vanilla biomes. It boasts support for modded biomes that exhibit spreading mechanics, and offers a robust Custom Tile Conversion feature within its configuration. This allows you to define specific blocks that should be considered for conversion, extending Pylon protection to your custom environments. For those who prefer a visual flourish, the mod includes extensive client-side customization options to alter the appearance of the Pylon aura, or even disable it entirely if desired.
