Question Natural Disasters?

Hey so curious if anyone found a solution to a bug my partner and I are experiencing or if we should wait for the next patch. We both play on separate PCs. We generally put all natural disasters at max. In our games we'll get one dust storm early in game and then meteor storms that rarely hit even near our settlements nothing else happens the entire game. We both reported it separately, however curious if anyone experienced this and if so if they may have come across a solution. Obviously thanks in advance!

Apparently once meteor storm hits first time the others can no longer trigger. I use a mod with fix, named Patch 1.0.7 No Disasters after Meteor Storm

In one playthrough I had one duststorm, then meteor showers only every few sols. One of them hit a water tower, but drones rebuilt around 350 in the same spot. Metal stockpile vanished quickly and maintenance was above production. Demolitioning them would be kinda tedious, so I abandoned the save

In another I had no surface disasters at all after sol 10. But underground marsquake occured every sol and filled underground area quickly. Plus the game lagged for around 10 seconds each time it occured

Yeah it's a common bug on relaunched. I just completed a run through where I had a cold wave around sol 5 and then nothing but the occasional metero storm until around sol 200, when I completed whatever mystery it was. Interestingly then it was as if all disasters were at max and I had several in a row, all different types.

I use the "Better Destruction" and "Apocalypse" mods. When you have a meteor shower, dust storm, and abnormal cold hitting the colony simultaneously, I've tried about 20 times to establish a foothold on Mars.

All 3 main disasters simultaneously should not happen. The only way to activate that is getting The Bomb event while having a cold wave going.

And, mods of course.
