May I point out that the calculations of the chance of a meteorite spawning are incorrect. You cannot simply add up the chances. The calculation for one or more meteorites spawning is 100% minus the chance of no meteorites spawning at all. The correct calculations for the chances of at least one meteorite spawning are:

1 - (0.5) for one broken orb (50%)

1 - (0.5 * 0.75) for two broken orbs (62.5%)

1 - (0.5 * 0.75 * 0.875) for three broken orbs (67.19%)

1 - (0.5 * 0.75 * 0.875 * 0.9375) for four broken orbs (69.24%)

1 - (0.5 * 0.75 * 0.875 * 0.9375 * 0.96875) for five broken orbs (71%)
