Stop Auto-Rovers During Storms

Description
Rovers will not do automated tasks when a meteor storm is active.
Such as collecting the goodies that just dropped from the sky.

They'll finish up whatever task they're on then aim for the nearest working laser/missile tower/drone hub (in that order)

Mod Options:
MDS Laser: Go to the nearest working laser/missile tower if rover is idle.
Drone Hub: Go to the nearest working drone hub if rover is idle.
Immediate Abort: As soon as storm starts rovers will flee/idle (default off).

Tried that, too annoying to figure out where they should each go, and be far away enough that they won't go back.

can you make it so drones will avoid meteor impact sites? ive got a few hundred that ive got to micro manage to keep them from getting squashed

Yeah, this hasn't been update for picard, I'll take a look.

Mostly works as advertised. Unfortunately also stops the rovers which can't be affected by meteor storms, such as those underground, whilst also sending them to some locations. I would venture a guess that it sends them at the same position where on Mars Surface is a Hub+Laser, altho they are underground.

yeh it's great to have dust devils working again but my stupid rovers keep driving directly into them

Run away while preserving their original cmd... maybe
run away and stop sure

can you make them run away and not drive directly into dust devils too?

I tried reproducing it, but it seemed to work okay? If you can get a save even while it's happening that might be enough (or the next person to have this issue).

Sorry, I didn't think to save it at the time. It was only when I was thinking about it in retrospect that I realized it might have been an issue.
