Meteorite Madness

Looking at your watering system, clearly the game knew you'd depleted all the locally-sourced Iridium. I got a meteorite in my current v1.5 save in Year 1, which is the first one I've seen since Spring Y1 of my very first SDV save.

Yeah, I did kind of clean out Skull Cavern in the Winter of Year 1. So much so that I was able to make 50 iridium sprinklers (40 for the fields, 6 in the Greenhouse, and 10 for my eventual farm on Ginger Island). Good thing the environmentalists never found out, I don't think they'd appreciate my Bomb and Murder mining techniques, especially all those purple slimes I killed, you just *KNOW* they'd pitch a hissy-fit over that.

But seriously, I wonder if the chance for Meteorites and other events got bumped up a little bit with the other events CA fixed. I'll be stoked if a 3rd one lands in my barnyard, especially if it's in the middle of those boulders in the bottom right corner. And before anyone asks why I haven't broke them down yet, it's because they're decoration. Every farm needs something otherworldly if it's going to appear in a future horror movie ;)

I haven't seen a meteor since 1.5, actually, so I don't know that the chances have been improved.

1.5 only made chances to the Stone Owl and Strange Capsule as far as I know (and 1.5.3 adjusted them both slightly to make the Stone Owl a bit more rare than it was right when 1.5 released, and limited the Strange Capsule to once per save).

We also have two meteor sites in our year-two (2) farm; and yeah, they do make good decoration! We're doing a roleplay build instead of a min-max build, so having two meteors on our archeology site really adds to the flavor!
That sounds like fun.

Needs more meteor, right? :D
Like I said, if it can land in-between those big rocks like the other one did in-between the logs, I'd be stoked. I know, I'm asking for something that goes against all the odds, but why not? :)

Glad I'm not the only one, I remember someone asking me if I had a strong enough pickax to break them down when I posted my farm layout a long while back ¯\_( ツ)_/¯ . I'm sure others do too, though, I just don't read about it much :)

I started a new farm recently and had a stone owl within my first week. :laugh: Still haven't gotten a meteorite yet, but I did get a meteorite in the first year of the first farm I made. It sat there for a good long while before I finally got a pickaxe that could crack it open.
