Meteor showers paused way longer than 20 cycles

Changed Status to Closed

Hi, the meteor shower sleep timer for 20 cycles works a bit different in vanilla than in Space Out, 

In Vanilla, when you get the popup, the current Meteor Shower Event will be terminated and no other Meteor Shower Event will begin until the 20 cycles have passed.

The system that begins Meteor Shower Events is called Season, a Season begins a Meteor Shower Event every certain amount of time called Period.

What happened in your save is that the popup appeared on cycle 1662 which cancels your current Meteor Shower Event and creates a sleep timer for 20 cycles (sleep until cycle 1682), your asteroid has a Period of 14 cycles and the next Meteor Shower Event was scheduled to begin at cycle 1667, at cycle 1667 the Season will not start the next Meteor Shower Event because we are still under the sleep timer, then the next attempt for a Meteor Shower Event to begin is at cycle (1667 + Period) = 1681, but by the time we reach that cycle and the Season attempts to begin the Meteor Shower Event it will fail because we still are under the sleep timer (we are one cycle away from "waking  up") so the  Season is denied to start and the next opportunity for a Meteor Shower Event ends up being at cycle (1681 + Period) = 1695. you then see the meteors falling in cycle 1696 because a Meteor Shower Event begins in the snoozing state and goes to bombardment after a delay.

I hope that cleared things up a bit. Thanks for posting!
