Meteorite rain begin too early and destroy all

Same here, and others have noticed this too. I went up there cycle 600 and found about 600 cycles worth of destruction. 

Now, this could be a valid design choice, but at least people should be warned about it. Personally, I think it is way too much time pressure.

There should be some time pressure, but indeed this one is a bit overkill. Having to setup a mega pacu ranch just to counter this is a bit clunky. 

Hope they're going to reduce meteor storms frequency or add more ways to make lime (or adding an alternate recipe for steel, with another material)

i want someone to time the amount of cycles it takes for meteors to start from the surface, then go all the way down to the bottom of the map
