Insane Asteroid Clusters

Description
USE AT OWN RISK, WILL LIKELY CRASH SERVERS AND LOW END PC'S
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO SAVE BEFORE ADDING THIS MOD
This mod came into existence because I was bored one afternoon, it has only been tested to the extent that it doesn't crash the game (much) on my PC. As It overrides the AsteroidGenerators vanilla file, it may not work if other mods also alter this file. This mod should work as long as AsteroidDensity isn't set to None on world creation.

-Changes from vanilla

Increased cluster size from 1.5km to 50km
Massively increased number of asteroids
Massively decreased minimum distance between asteroids

-Issues

Viewing entire asteroid clusters from a distance using spectator can seriously impact performance
Using jump drives inside the clusters can be almost impossible due to overlapping asteroids blocking the jump path
Using jump drives can cause the game to freeze/stutter as it loads in asteroid clusters at the new location
Game can get stuck on 91% loading when adding this mod to a fresh save, create a save without this mod then save and exit to add the mod.
Game can take 10+ seconds to load in due to rendering asteroids

Do you think its possible to get asteroids larger than 1048?

Any way of getting a system or config to make clusters smaller and closer together?

was curious how this fiddles with the code, and i noticed <SubCells>3</SubCells> is not properly within the <ID> code space.

any chance of getting a config file to "adjust" the changes, ya know in case we want to capac our save ?

It turns out the view distance world setting has a big impact on how many asteroids appear when using these altered settings. Turning it down decreases the amount and turning it up increases the amount.

appearently even a High end PC canot load this
make the cluster size 25K see iff that works
