No Meteorite/Drop Interval Update

[icraigs]

In the most recent update, it was mentioned that the time interval for these drops could be adjusted in World settings. This is not currently correct. The only option available adjusts how far away the drops occur from your player's current position.

It is titled: Meteorite/Supplies Drop Distance.

Where is the interval option at?

[Sir_Fell]

it was probably an update for distance since interval does mean time OR Distance

The Devs probably saw the complaints, Google Translated it into Japanese, "fixed" what they thought the problem was, then Google Translated it back.... and it became distance rather than time.

Hard to tell I just looked up the definition to be sure since i opened the game to look


Anyways theres a mod on Nexus for time intervals of Supply crates/ Meteorites that can be used to take care of this problem anyways unless this update bugs it

Looks like my issue was that I had some that I ignored and were still present on the map. You can only have one active on the map at a time now, it seems. Then the timer begins again.

Yeah I think its a mistranslation cause I set it to 1 and I get instant meteors. Just like the previous person said you have to collect the last one before the next spawns. Can only have 1 active at a time.

So I just tested this in single player by being at Fisherman's point. Lowering the setting to 1 caused multiple to happen within a short amount of time from each other. As in every couple of minutes. So you can have more than one on the map, I had three at a time. But I think any old ones from before the update have to be cleared first.

So in this case yes it is time based. Keeping in the mind that the default of 180 equates to about 6 real world hours in game still. Give or take a few minutes either way. Meaning that it would seem maxing it to 999 would stop them or make them several days apart at least. Though this would need further testing.

Edit: It should be noted that two of the three always seemed to be loot drops for me and one a meteoroid.
