Hostile Universe - Real NPC and Meteor Timers

Description
Hostile Universe is one of several mods that attempt to make Space Engineers a compelling PvE space sandbox experience. This is for players (solo or multiplayer) who would like to focus less on player vs player (PvP) and focus more on surviving and raiding AI-controlled/owned assets.

Features
- increases meteor spawn interval to roughly 2 hours or so. I recommend that you run your games on "Cataclysm" setting for more visual effects and challenge.
- increases NPC ship spawn interval to roughly 45 minutes. This is to make space less like a busy expressway and more like a remote experience where seeing ships is a more rare event..

Recommended Mods
1) Hostile Universe
2) Hostile Universe - Respawn Shuttle
3) Hostile Universe - Hyper Thrusters
4) Caldari Skybox (original mod)
5) Catwalks (original mod)

Planned Features
- None at this point, depends on feedback and new features exposed by the game developer.

Does this mod still work? Or is there a mod that does a similar function?

There is no way to distinguish a players location alas... it's just a timer value that can be manipulated.

Is there any way you could make a version or a separate mod that severely reduced the frequency/size or outright removed meteors on planets with atmospheres? I love this setup for space but on planets it just leaves infinite craters everywhere.

No idea.. .it follows vanilla save mechanics, it just alters when the event occurs nothing else.

does the 2 hour timer save when i leave? or do i have to be in 1 session for 2 hours just to get some meteors

Is this still working?

They've changed that in the last update or 2.... now the meteors are nowhere near as laser accurate. And turrets seem to be destroying them more reliably.

I was refering to the code used by KSH, they have it set to spawn the meteor storms on player location and move at max seed toward player, not in random direction near players.
