New dungeons, ruins, and towers spawning after exploring and coming back

[Turkus]

Noticed this earlier. I have a small SMP server set up for me and couple of friends. Right off the bat, we found an abandoned farmhouse and a walker stronghold.

We rebuilt the farm house and started clearing the stonghold. However, later in the day, we went exploring way off in the distance. When we returned home, we discovered that new towers spawned around AND on top of our farmhouse.. literally destroying it.

Is this a bug? Or a feature?

Just wondering. (Having fun with the current setup)

I've found this too. Except, it happened on my base. I had a nice and pretty base all made up, Twilight Portal and Nether portal next to it. Lets just say, I called it home. I went off for some collecting, and came back to find a large half-ass structure had spawned right through my base, literally cutting it in half. Forcing me to to clear out the stupid mobs there to even access my own chests.

This just happened to me... I had been playing a while, then BOOM! My house exploded with a nether portal right on top of it. I just placed a bed down, lets say five minuets before the explosion. So maybe that has something to do with it?

That sounds like the portal created by a meteor.

e: aka get a meteor shield.

I have meteor shields aplenty, yet after going to the nether or the twilight forest and returning my house is destroyed and a new tower spawned right through it? Anyone know what's up with towers spawning like this. All chests and contents are also gone, nothing survived but a small section of the house.

I'd have a look at the bug boards... I think I read some similar issues happening to people over there.

I've heard blocks from Secret Rooms are making chunks regenerate. Several players secret treasure rooms have been replaced. GenericB's experience of this is on Youtube.

I've heard that placing a twilight portal will sometimes cause a battle tower to spawn nearby after zoning in and out.
