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

Hades [author] May 7, 2018 @ 5:29pm

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

Orthopaktis May 7, 2018 @ 4:55pm

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.

Hades [author] Mar 11, 2018 @ 5:11pm

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

runky Mar 11, 2018 @ 2:53pm

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

Dark_453 Mar 4, 2017 @ 12:29am

woot, Thank you.. Still Working.

Hades [author] Dec 17, 2016 @ 3:56pm

yup

Arodoid Dec 17, 2016 @ 7:35am

Is this still working?

Hades [author] Sep 24, 2016 @ 5:47pm

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.

Valyn Sep 24, 2016 @ 12:09pm

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.

Hades [author] Sep 18, 2016 @ 1:51am

Just for the record, the source file reference for this mod is still unchanged, and the mod is still 100% compatible with it. If the mod doesn't behave as described it's an issue with KSH not reading in the file or a bug with the game.

Valyn Sep 3, 2016 @ 12:12pm

so if you look that the code, I believe is says 'set max speed toward player' or something like that. so unless you are moving the storm is always in your area and headed right for the tiny region of the planet or space you are in

Juggernaut Jul 21, 2016 @ 11:04am

Biggest annoyance of meteors is that they feel like they occur directly around you on purpose...I'd rather they were sort of something you forget, that your server is still doing, but you have that remote chance of being in one sometimes. The way it is now, every spawn is targeted at you and that's just silly. Most people just want it off!

Hades [author] Jun 17, 2016 @ 10:41pm

Keen likes to reintroduce bugs like this lol. Best to disable storms for now... I'll take a look at the code for any changes but I reckon it's most likely a bug in their side again.

KritusMennes Jun 17, 2016 @ 8:43pm

I think the latest update broke this... it was working awesome, but now my base is looking a bit like swiss cheese with meteor strikes every 10 minutes... If you can fix it, that'd be awesome because I love it.

Hades [author] Mar 8, 2016 @ 6:29pm

That should still work... but it seems to get broken/ignored every other update. Best you can do is try.

Aku92 Mar 8, 2016 @ 8:48am

ok, what about the meteor timer, and thanks for getting back to me

Hades [author] Mar 7, 2016 @ 4:08pm

The devs still haven't put NPC ships back into the dx12 game

Aku92 Mar 7, 2016 @ 12:42pm

is this dead

Hyperion Jan 27, 2016 @ 11:31am

I've never encountered an NPC ship and I'm pretty sure they were enabled on each world that I've played. Can the intervals be changed somehow? Or could you implement some chat commands for it, perhaps?

Ministery Of MOM Dec 28, 2015 @ 4:07pm

Anyway to tinker the spawn settings myself? I would like something like meteor showers every 5 to 10 hours.

Kastuk Sep 9, 2015 @ 4:48am

Need to change meteor fire tails to something not-firing.

Nate Aug 14, 2015 @ 9:59am

No not after resub, I can't run it with this mod subscribed or I get nonstop meteors so I have to not use it

Hades [author] Aug 13, 2015 @ 4:03am

So it works again after uninstall and resub? If so, that is wierd!

Nate Aug 12, 2015 @ 8:29pm

I have tried it without any other mods and still no change and when I remove it it also has meteor storms nonstop. I had to completely unsubscribe and delete the mod files which is just weird

Hades [author] Aug 12, 2015 @ 7:21am

Nothing has changed in the source code... so it's still valid unless the devs broke it with a recent patch. Have you tired to run it without other mods... maybe they are overwriting it?

Nate Aug 9, 2015 @ 9:01pm

Is this mod still being updated? I used it today and now I am getting meteor storms repeatedly on normal

Mikel71 Apr 4, 2015 @ 12:00pm

Thanks bud for the quick response on it, I def use this when playin a solo game, almost forgot how freqent they are normally, My server I played on didnt have them on :) I will turn them back on and give ya update later tonite.

Hades [author] Apr 4, 2015 @ 8:39am

Ok, I've just updated it again. Devs have migrated from event type XML to using nested subtypes.

Mikel71 Apr 4, 2015 @ 8:08am

Just start a new survival game, after the initial waiting period for storms, the first one came then, every 30 secs after that, meteors set on "normal" as stated below back in febuary,

Hades [author] Feb 9, 2015 @ 3:06am

I just updated with the new cataclysm mode timers... but you shouldn't be seeing swarms every 30 seconds. let me know if it keeps happening

Eagle☣Cat.exe Feb 8, 2015 @ 5:44pm

Normal meteor spawns on new worl, meteor storm right off the bat, then another storm 30 seconds later, and repeats

Hades [author] Feb 7, 2015 @ 3:58pm

You probably turned them off in your world settings.

shadow onion Feb 7, 2015 @ 8:14am

im not getting any meteor spawns or any cargo ships

Hades [author] Jan 25, 2015 @ 4:40pm

It seems to be working now... I'm not seeing the 20 minute default spawns anymore. I haven't played a full 2 hour session for a while now (because of other stability issues) but it seems to be a lot more time maybe the full 2 hours between spawns.

Wayward Will Jan 25, 2015 @ 11:12am

You must be tired of getting naged about this but what is the latest news? Does it still not affect asteroid timers correctly? Or has that been fixed since? Thank you for all your hard work. Cheers.

Hades [author] Dec 25, 2014 @ 5:06pm

Phand (dev rep) acknowledged it... I'm praying 1.062 patch has fixed it.

Lewtz Dec 25, 2014 @ 4:21pm

is the meteor timing still bugged?

MagnusEffect Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:51pm

thank you for your continued efforts on getting this addressed, Storm. I really like what you are attempting to do with this.

Hades [author] Dec 4, 2014 @ 4:33pm

It provides features as described above in the description.

Hades [author] Dec 3, 2014 @ 1:04am

Just posted another nag email on the KeenSW Bug forums

Hades [author] Dec 3, 2014 @ 12:59am

The meteor shower vallues are still not being read in by the game... it's a bug. :(
The NPC ship timers do work though.

MagnusEffect Dec 2, 2014 @ 5:08pm

@ Storm: is this still not working correctly?

Hades [author] Nov 23, 2014 @ 5:24pm

It's a developers bug... neither the mod or altering the game folder settings work :(

Lonestarr_Sixer Nov 23, 2014 @ 4:04pm

Yeah, I'm getting that error myself, how can it be fixed?

Hades [author] Nov 22, 2014 @ 9:38pm

There is currently a bug with the game that is not reading in this config settings properly.

FurtiveSage Nov 14, 2014 @ 10:03am

Thank you for the information. Being new to the workshop, my skill is tweaking the setting from someone like yourself who as a clue how to create mods. Thanks again. I really the the PVE concept with survival and am looking for any ideas to increase the content and randomness of survival!

Hades [author] Nov 13, 2014 @ 4:51pm

If you edit the mod you can... or you can configure the files directly in your SE data folder (the file called.... ugh not at my PC right now... its in the same folder as SpawnGroups.sbc)

FurtiveSage Nov 12, 2014 @ 10:52am

Do you have the ability to make changes to those timers?

Hades [author] Sep 29, 2014 @ 12:13am

You can check the log file for the game... it should say what mods are loaded successfully. Other than that you can do it the way I do... put a stopwatch on and make sure meteors don't appear more than once every 2 hours :)
