[QUESTION] Can I increase the amount of claimable asteroids?

[YeOlde]

I'm finding it hard to find sectors which have more than 2 claimable asteroids to set up mines on...

 

Wondering if there is a way for me to increase the chance for a sector to spawn more of them?

You can start with this list. In most cases spawning claimable asteroid is a result of rolling `numAsteroids = math.random(0, 2)`. Then there is startsector which will always have one. Sadly, there is no global setting for that, but I think it would be worth adding along with others, like "Big asteroids probability", "Asteroid fields amount" etc. to customize generation process not just by seed.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

 

Spent some time messing with the values, generating galaxies with a specific seed and went to the closest sector with lots of asteroids.

Just got 5 spawn in the same sector.

 

Again, thanks for the help :D

So what exactly did you change? I was messing with this the other day and don't think I did it right.

omg i would be beside myself if i warped into a sector of just pure mine-able asteroids.
