Asteroid Field

Fullscreen map background

The Asteroid Field, also known as the Asteroids, is a biome added by the Spirit Mod which generates upon world creation in the Space layer. It generates above one of the Oceans, and is composed of many Asteroids that vary in size depending on the world size.

The biome is primarily composed of Asteroid Blocks that make up the asteroids that generate throughout the biome, which can be filled with the Meteorite and other ores. In addition to containing veins of meteorite and other ores, the Asteroids Fields also contain a unique ore, Astralite Shards which can only be obtained after defeating Starplate Voyager, which is used in several items related to the Starplate Voyager. It also contains pockets of Space Junk, which can be salvaged at an Extractinator similarly to Silt and Slush Blocks. Asteroid Chests will generate on top of some Asteroids, and an Astralite Beacon will also generate within one of the Asteroids.

The Stardust, Space Debris and Meteor Shower events have a 1/4 chance of occurring every day. However, the Stardust and Space Debris events cannot happen at the same time.

The Starplate Voyager boss can be summoned here by using a Starplate Beacon at an Astralite Beacon.

When exploring the Asteroid Fields, its own music track Above Islands will play.
