# Summary
This PR rebalances the spawn count and radius of overmap hazard
clusters, as well as adjusts some of their overmap movement behavior.
## Justification
Mining trips to exoplanets distant to the Horizon can force miners to
spend large portions of a given round just trying to navigate around
overmap hazards; in the worst cases, the sheer number of dead ends and
blind spots can result in their effective removal from the first 60-90
minutes of a round, and the worst delays can obviate the need for their
materials in the first place. While reducing these hazards would also
benefit the Horizon and offships, the primary motivation was to reduce
mining's "dead time" in any given round.
## Details
Most overmap hazard types have had their 'count' (the number of clusters
spawned) and radius reduced, to open up more navigable space on the
overmap. This has been compensated for by modifying movement
probabilities, speeds, and behaviors of overmap hazards.
The intervals between overmap hazards moving (their effective speeds)
has been made variable; different clusters of movable hazards will no
longer always proc movement at the same time.
Carp continue to have a random chance to move in a random direction
every interval. Space dust and meteors now also have a chance to spawn
in as movable hazards, but they will only ever move in one direction.
While more dangerous to passing shuttles and ships than carp, they are
also much more predictable.
The current numbers were based on observation of several randomly
generated maps during testing, but will likely need adjustment as it
faces actual miners and we accumulate their feedback. I erred on the
side of 'less difficult' to avoid overtuned rocks from smashing crew to
pieces every round.

I don't think ive done pushing correctly, this PR took 10 minutes to push to remove which definitely seems wrong
In any case, fixes four compile errors related to meteors in the baymerge PR, and also fixes meteor events - A single line had been removed which would cause meteors to not spawn.
I removed a defunct function from one of the meteor files, because its no longer referenced or needed anywhere in live code, and its the only place the now-removed wavesecret var was being referenced.
No idea why meteor.dm was trying to pass two vars into the spawn_meteors proc, since afaik its never taken more than one input, and the variable it was trying to pass in doesn't exist. I reverted it back to our normal behaviour, passing in a value of 6, although this doesn't seem correct either, it is at least what we currently have and thus not a change
-Makes a lot of unsuitable events excluded from faking. Some of them could do with reworking to make them function, like the infestation and prison breaks, but for now i just had to exclude them
-Adds an In-character/descriptive name, used for the announcement apologising for the mistake
-Fixes an issue where using debug Trigger Event verb would fill the events list with empty severe events and cause runtime errors
tweak: "Adjusted event many weights. Made meteors and vendor breakdowns less common, ion storms more common."
tweak: "Slightly reduced overall frequency of random events."
rscadd: "Reworked the infestation event!! Can now spawn in a wider variety of locations, and spawn a wider variety of creatures."
rscadd: "Spiders spawned by the infestation event will now grow up, but much slower."
rscadd: "Reduced length of meteor storm a little. Total meteors not changed."
Fixed hatch overlay not being cut when a firedoor opens
Fixed firedoor hatches drawing ontop of office/blast shutters when both are on the same tile
Drones can now bump open windoors
added attack logs for meteor impacts
slightly increased volume of meteor shield impact sound
fixed meteor event end announcements
When a meteor event triggers it now selects a main edge to arrive from, with a 20% probability to come from either neighboring edge. Will never arrive from the opposite edge.
The meteor event end time is now made more useful, and is based on a longest delay between meteor waves scenario.
The meteor event now supports multiple station Z-levels.
Removes the meteor sounds, as they can rarely be heard over the explosions anyway.
Merges the two meteor events into one, and now takes severity into consideration instead.
Including the basic meteors there are also new types ranging from flaming to radioactive which may drop appropriate types of ore.
Only two more this time:
Random space dust attack.
Random gravity failure.
Moves space vines from moderate to major events, due to its now more dangerous nature.
Removes now irrelevant alien/ninja customized event handlers.
Adds Excel sheet for aiding in event probability calculations.
