Sapiently's Monolithic Monsters
BETA! I'm not happy with the design of the mod, I'll be revising the art and tweaking the growth rate/density of the monsters. If you spot any bugs or have a suggestion please let me know. There shouldn't be any bugs...
Sapiently's Atomic Monster Series Presents: Monolithic Monsters

The Monolith Monsters
This mod is based on the classic 1957 sci-fi film. Strange black meteorites have struck the colony. They are not rock... they are alive.
Features
[list]
[*] Dynamic Growth: Monolithic Monsters grow from sprouts to massive towers, absorbing minerals from the soil.
[*] Weather Reactive: Rain and Snow accelerate their growth significantly.
[*] Propagation: Giant Monolithic Monsters shatter and fall, spreading new crystals in lines across your map.
[*] Ceiling Collapse: If allowed to grow inside, they will crash through the roof.
[*] New Hazard: Parasitic Silicosis. Direct contact with shards or inhalation of dust will turn your colonists to stone.
[*] New Tech: Research Monolith Grenades to shatter the crystals and reclaim your land.
[/list]
Countermeasures
[list]
[*] Salt Grenades: The only known way to safely destroy the structures. Requires the "Monolithic Countermeasures" research project (hidden until you encounter a Monolith).
[*] Gas Masks: Essential for handling the shards safely.
[/list]
