Star Metal Ore

__NOTOC__
==Description==
This fallen metal from the sky, be it a gift from the gods or a curse from the wells of night, has mysterious properties that sages and sorcerers are only beginning to understand. This strange material is not as easy to work with as earthly metals, but those of esoteric skill have devised a way to smelt star metal ore, with a technique that employs brimstone and black ice, to create ingots.

 can be harvested from meteorites, which will fall in the western region of the Snow biome, just north of the Mounds of the Dead. Cimmerians nearby hint at this, as they use star metal weapons.https://www.reddit.com/r/ConanExiles/comments/6zplfh/question_how_rare_are_meteorite_strikes/ You will see them trail across the sky and hear their explosive boom as they crash on the mountain ridges.
* Star metal meteorites can be seen glowing purple with Detect Resources.
* You must destroy the outer shell of the meteorite before you can harvest it, unless using Mass Cull.
** The outer shells have only 1 hit point, but can only be cracked open with explosive damage from an , , or .
* The Star Metal core can be struck 15-20x before collapsing.
** A Tier 4 or higher pick is required to obtain the ore. Tool tiers are not visible in game and are inconsistent with harvesting power.

* The following was concluded from looking at the DevKit:
** Every 1800 seconds (30 minutes) a cycle starts (Chance To Spawn Timer)
** Initially (i.e. after server restart) there is a 75% chance that a meteor shower will be triggered (Chance to Trigger Meteor).
*** If there is a meteor shower, the next shower comes at least 3 hours later (so in the 6th cycle) with a 2% chance for a shower, as the chance for the next meteor shower is set to 0% and the cooldown to 5 cycles (Meteor Cooldown). After that there can be a potential shower every 30 minutes and every unsuccessful attempt increases the chance for the next round by 2%.
*** If no meteor shower triggers, then the chance for the next cycle is increased by 2% (Chance Increment) and the cooldown (Meteor Cooldown) is reduced by 1.
** The number of meteorites varies from 5 to 15 and depends on the following calculation:maximum number (Meteor Shower Max Count) + random number (Meteor Shower Random Amount)where the random number is actually a range from which a value is randomly selected. The range in an actual case is -5 to +5, so it can happen that less than the max value (Meteor Shower Max Count) is spawned. This complicates the logic a lot.
** Meteorites despawn 14000 seconds after falling, or 3 hours, 53 minutes, 20 seconds.
* The source of the idea for the meteorite feature came from one of the developers, either John or Joel."Developer Stream Recap: October 10th, 2019" Multigun, Funcom Forums - October 11, 2019
* Star metal ore and star metal are used as motives in the Conan the Adventurer animated series.

On the Isle of Siptah, meteors will fall around the Tower at the center of the island.

* To trigger a meteorite shower event on both maps, use the Console Command dc meteor spawn
