Is it landed on other continent beside central at all? Let meteorite fall on any continent so fight will be not near big faction but rather in a place unfamiliar to all.
Last meteorite literally was free gift and no small groups will ever try to fight meteorites because they will not stand a chance it always land near giant factions.
Would be cool if it could land on shallow water or even in ocean creating some kind temporary island? It will at least prohibit palisade building.
