Starfall
Three times a day a star falls on Bucketry. Everyone can join: mine the star ore, shatter the corruption nodes, bring down the guardian that rises from the core, and claim your own share of the loot. Nobody has to fight over chests.

How a Starfall plays out
Section titled “How a Starfall plays out”- Warning (10 minutes before impact). Get to the Observatory.
- Impact. Star ore is exposed. You have about 3 minutes to mine before the Awakening.
- The Awakening. Corruption nodes appear and Fallen pour out in waves (Shardlings, Cinder Mites, Starbound Sentinels, Void Lurkers and their sea and hollow cousins). Shatter the nodes.
- The guardian rises at the core. You have 6 minutes to bring it down.
- The end. Everyone who helped claims a personal share.
