Commando950's Better Disasters

Description
Warning: Use this on new saves and such. I don't know how reliable this is yet as I didn't give it much testing time which is why it is currently marked as [BETA]. It might break saves or do weird things. Your assistance with bug hunting is appreciated! Use the discussions page titled "[Official] Bug Reports" on this workshop addon to report bugs.

Also worth noting, as new features are added, things could break in existing saves. I don't have much experience with Stormworks modding to know how that exactly works.

This mod improves the default natural disaster addon of Stormworks.

This mod adds the following:
  • A longer and still configurable default natural disaster time of 1 hour.
  • The ability to enable randomization of when natural disasters strike by a configurable random amount of time. Make them unpredictable if you wish!
  • Alerts to help you know a disaster has hit! Never be surprised, as soon as a natural disaster strikes you will get a notification about it! This can also be disabled.
  • Enable/Disable sirens, just like you always could.
  • Configure the exact probability of a disaster happening when it comes time for one. Want more Volcanic eruptions than meteors?
  • Disable or enable whichever disaster you want. Disabling tsunamis also disables them for meteor impacts! YAY!!!
  • Chat command for admins called ?disasterdebug. Mostly made for debugging the addon, however, it will tell you all the settings you have currently set!

Installation/How To Use:
  1. Create a new game of your choosing.
  2. Click the "Enabled Addons" button to go enable/disable addons for your new game.
  3. Make sure you disable "Default Natural Disasters" in the official tab. This would be bad to have two different random sets of natural disasters happening!
  4. Enable "Commando950's Better Disasters" in the workshop tab of addons.
  5. Choose your settings on the addon by clicking the addon and adjusting the settings on the right to your liking.
  6. Enjoy!
  7. Hit the like button on workshop to help more people find this. If you don't like this mod let me know why!

Known Bugs:
  • If you know of any bugs please report it in the official Bug Report discussion page on this workshop!

Future Features(MAYBE):
  • Magnitude randomization.
  • Disaster forecast system. (Know in advance for certain events!)
  • Better warning messages perhaps?
  • Chat commands for changing settings in existing saves.

Credits:
  • Original code from Stormworks Default Natural Disaster script
  • Modified to have new options by Commando950

Yep i did that. I disabled tsunami's and it still spawns them as the first disaster every new game load. even setting chance to 0 does nothing in combination with disable.

@TaliaKuznetsova By default it's the most common disaster rather than only. I haven't been checking on this addon lately, but I assume everything should still work.

You can change the chances through the settings for each disaster type when you first create a new save game.

Does a tsunami ALWAYS spawn as the default disaster when making a world? I have them turned off and it always is the first disaster on a world no matter what (i havent noticed em after that tho but game doesnt like long saves)

@Totoyo25 If I was to guess you'll see two announcements instead of one.

I don't think anything should crash to my knowledge.

What happens if Zizo's Natural Disaster Announcements is enabled alongside this?
If I had to guess it probably just crashes the game.

I tried this mod out for a bit and I saw a disaster warning. I left them on just in case the mod breaks. I thought it was a glitch and ignored it. Like 30 seconds later I see a tsunami in the distance. I don't know if this is a glitch or the mod just does not work.

@Void Sure, that sounds like a great idea. This is probably the first time for a lot of lovely folks to use an environment addon.
@snek1253 That's what I set the minimum to apparently. So yes if you are that adventurous it's possible.

Can you make a video showing how to access the settings?
snek1253 27 May, 2022 @ 12:07pm
