NRE + Stacktrace

You may want to review updating this plugin with some additional NRE checks and also looking into the conflict between the plugin and rusts current decay system. You can recreate this stacktrace if you adjust your decay.scale to 3 or higher.

This would play better with the current rust version:

block.Hurt(_damage, DamageType.Decay);

and this is what I think you are missing from your existing NRE checks:

!_block.IsValid()

Changed Status from Pending to Work in Progress

Hello. I didn't quite understand this message. I set decay.scale to 3, made twigs blocks, let them decay to 100% and didn’t get any error. Could you explain in more detail when it occurs?

Thank you for the suggestions.

Could you please tell me the reason why you're suggesting to use Hurt method?

IsValid is an extension method that checks for != null and block.net != null. The plugin already checks for != null and I believe that checking net is not necessary in this context.
