Description

Solar flares and Eclipses happen way too much in Rimworld, to the point where they become normalized. Let's change them to be rarer and more impactful.

Now a simple patch operation, making it compatible with everything. Add it to a save, or remove it with no problems.

Eclipse
Base chance: 1.5 --> 0.6
Min # days to refire: 15 --> 60
Possible duration: 0.75 to 1.50 days --> 0.15 to 0.80 days

Solar Flare
Base chance: 1.3 --> 0.4
Min # days to refire: 15 --> 240

Now what?

A 1.5 update would be great. I suppose this probably still works and only needs tags updated.

Hey I made a 1.4 fork for the mod :

I'll take it down if NECEROS wishes so.

1.4...?

Turns out, Rimworld has 30 moons and orbits a pulsar, lol. At the very least, regular mechanoids/mech cluster buildings ought to shut down from solar flares too. :p

I really like this mod... I don't like how frequent this happens in the base game.

An even better approach to this would be if the frequency of solar flares (geomagnetic storms) were randomly chosen based on the map seed. This would simulate the random strength of the planet's geomagnetic field (it's capacity to shield the planet from noticeable effects from flares). Planets that can support life, but can't shield itself from flares would be extremely rare because the flares / solar wind would fairly rapidly lose it's atmosphere.
