Weird structure/monolith found on Eurpoa

So, I was patrolling the mars moon (Keen NA #4 server), on rumors of some stranded mars moon babes needing help over there..

That was all a myth, apparently. But I found something.. interesting:


hmmm thats.. odd.



and.. spirally.



and at the end of some sort of fault/crack in the crust (going up/left in this image)

[tinfoil hat] some may say its just an artifact of voxel procedural mumbo jumbo.. BUT I KNOW THE TRUTH!!

.. but what do YOU think?

data: 45m tall
GPS:Europa ice spike:921895.46:10866.22:1610868.81:

 

Two words, baby: Space Unicorns on Ice. Wait. That's four words.

 

Yep. Like Easter Island. if you dig it up, there is bound to be a body and legs.

 

Don't be silly. There's no such thing as space unicorns.

That's a space narwhal.

 

That's certainly the most plausible.

 

It's clearly an ice spike, a well-known though rare natural formation.

 

Oh no.

They're here.

 

Clang's Toothpick, then.

 

Someone had fun with Voxel hands maybe?
Unicorns did pop into mind right off the bat.

I am not sure how Keen are doing planet files now days, but if I had to give it a serious guess, I would say it was just a glitch in the height map used. (One little spot that the game rendered as being a hill.) That would also explain the line/ fault line you see. The edges of the map meeting.

Just my theory. Sounded better than my earlier post of Unicorns!

 

Ooh even grosser: Europas' frozen pimple pop

but to be certain it wasnt the hands of some official keen server mythical admin using voxel hands with some degree of skill... I'm going to start a sp system map and checking out those gps coords in OP (those are pasteable in game format)\



Yep. its official "Cannon" .. apparently at the union of 3 faults seen here- so also in every single one of your system worlds, too. I dub this "Clang's Icepick" as its first discoverer. [cool sunglasses emote]

 

Clang's Tower may have a better ring to it? But you did discover it so toothpick it is then!

 

hmm what would Tolkein name it?

Clangad Dur

possibly.. dangit too late now

 

The Spiral of Lord Clang is what I think Tolkien would have went with.

 

Since Clang's Icepick is in every system world generated, I feel compelled to start a Thing.

As tribute to Clang, impale your current multiplayer baseship upon Clangs Icepick and submit screenshot, showing your worthiness to exist in his universe. (in a separate single player world, of course)

a (bad) example


maybe after work ill try again with just a liiiitle less momentum- and def have voxel deform off. But indeed, the IcePick is mightier than the Skully (that was clean through 4 refineries, 2 jump drives, and the kitchen sink hidden in the roof)

 

He's dead, Jim!

 

I think it's probably a pile of Wampa poo after eating a bad Taun Taun.
