Spore Cannons: Cryogenic Arsenal

Contain. Freeze. Reclaim.

Spore Cannons: Cryogenic Arsenal connects the industrial artillery of Create: Big Cannons with the hostile fungal ecosystem of Fungal Infection: Spore.

Build an automated cryogenic arsenal, locate outbreaks through the WHITEOUT field network and reclaim infected territory with six escalating CDU shells, specialized autocannon ammunition and recovered containment technology.

This is more than a collection of blue explosions. Every system is built around detection, containment, escalation and reclamation—from field reconnaissance and quarantine lines to the strategic Absolute Zero device.

❄️ Cryogenic Arsenal

• Six CDU shell tiers, each with its own scale, effects and three-dimensional model.
• Machine-gun, armor-piercing and flak ammunition for Create: Big Cannons autocannons.
• A programmable Cryogenic Sensor Fuze and the autonomous White Watch Mine Fuze.
• Progressive Frostbite, saturation and brittleness combat mechanics.
• Infection and bile reclamation, layered water freezing and lava solidification.
• Cryogenic Insulation I–IV for engineers who intend to survive their own equipment.

Fired shells remain visible during a two-second activation sequence before releasing their payload. Higher tiers increase freezing, environmental cleanup, Whiteout duration and battlefield spectacle—culminating in a Tier VI event capable of affecting an infected region roughly 500 blocks across.

Warning: Parasites are the intended targets. Players, ordinary creatures and careless engineers may still be caught in the resulting blast.

🏭 WHITEOUT Infrastructure

The Cryogenic Containment Projector turns reclaimed territory into an active quarantine zone using reusable coolant cartridges and Create kinetic power.

Two selectable field geometries support different operations:

• Radial Mode creates a spherical field with an RPM-scaled radius of up to 64 blocks.
• Wall Mode creates an oriented quarantine line up to 193 blocks wide and 32 blocks high, with a 25% coolant surcharge.

An active field physically repels tagged Spore entities attempting to cross its boundary while allowing players, ordinary creatures and projectiles to pass. Inside the protected area it suppresses parasite regeneration, accumulates cryogenic saturation and gradually contains vulnerable infected blocks. Engineers may switch between active reclamation and containment-only operation.

Coolant cartridges retain their remaining charge when removed and provide approximately one hour of operation at 32 RPM. Automation extracts only depleted cartridges, allowing projector networks to operate without interrupting partially used supplies.

The CDU Refueling Station restores depleted cartridges using stabilized cryogel, water and Create power. Clearly defined machine faces allow belts, funnels, pipes, depots and Mechanical Arms to form a reusable automated coolant loop.

⚙️ Field Operations & Discovery

The WHITEOUT Field Terminal serves as a portable command device for reconnaissance and containment operations.

Standard scans survey nearby infection, parasite signatures and WHITEOUT machinery. A longer Deep Scan estimates outbreak density and depth, then reports the approximate XYZ coordinates of its epicenter. The Network screen monitors nearby Containment Projectors, while the Field Log records scans, CDU strikes, White Watch activations and machinery warnings without flooding the Minecraft chat.

This creates a complete operational cycle:

DETECT → LOCATE → CLASSIFY → CONTAIN → STRIKE → VERIFY

Production uses Create mixing, pressing, deploying, filling, sequenced assembly and mechanical crafting. Communication modules connect terminals, projectors and CDU systems to the WHITEOUT network.

A rare abandoned WHITEOUT-04 Containment Post can be discovered in the Overworld. Its cabinets contain engineering supplies, shell components and the localized eleven-page Whiteout Protocol Field Manual.

The mod also includes advancements, recipe integration, a dedicated creative tab and Ponder scenes covering ammunition, fuzes, machinery, coolant logistics, field operations and containment doctrine.
