I use NIX too (Arch Linux with Awesome WM), but I still have to compile your mod because I like having 64 bit binaries. It's not a big deal though, takes all of a minute. Fuse has no issues for me. And dlee12, what sse are you using.
I just noticed that Radon gas seems to be the most corrosive substance in the game. It corrodes just about every single element, including Diamond and even Black Hole.
