True, the effect thing is too much of a reach, better to have as decoration or if someone makes a good storm mod.

@zellnagi Yes I know those two blocks.
But don't see any reason why a lightning rod would litterally emit electric particles? I mean it is a passive receptor it would be nonsense to have it emit anything.

You know that we have two blocks that emit effects, maybe for decoration add the elecro effect to the rod, make it like an effect emitter, i can see an elecro spine working great on a few of my ships.

And my ship uses the obelisk weapon that looks like a storm coming out of a crystal, so it would look like i am storing and shooting lightning.

@Luna the Musician Unfortunately I cannot make it directly attract strikes as it would require the Rod to actually be a decoy.
That would create a big unbalance as the Rod costs waaaay less than the Decoy itself

if you did manage to figure out how to make it attract lighting strikes like how the decoy does, it would be interesting as a passive power generation block during storms, otherwise it looks fantastic, 10/10
