 All disasters in Outpost 2 are fully supported by the SDK. This section covers Meteors, Electrical Storms, Earthquakes, and Vortices. Volcanoes are handled in the Volcano Section here: [[op2_sdk:Volcanoes]].
-When setting a disaster, you are setting when the first warning that the disaster will occur.
+When setting a disaster, you are setting when the first warning that the disaster will occur. No disaster can occur at mark 0 (when a scenario first starts). Even if you set a disaster to immediately occur, it actually will not happen until about mark 10-15. The exception is a vortex which can be set to occur immediately.
