Strange Matter

Strange Matter is a material resource from the Atomic Science mod. It can be occasionally created when a particle in a Particle Accelerator collides at speed with another entity under specific conditions.

When a particle explodes:

1. The sum of its axis speeds must be > 0.5; i.e. abs(vx)+abs(vy)+abs(vz) > 0.5.
2. If #1 is true, the particle then checks each entity in a box of radius 1 around itself. For each one that is also a particle, it has a 15% chance of dropping Strange Matter. For others, nothing happens.
3. The particle then has a 5% base chance of dropping Strange Matter only if #1 was true.
4. If none of the other entities checked in #2 was a particle, it explodes with power equal to 2.5 times the sum of its axis speeds.
