Your friendly neighborhood mod team.

Redshift's mod team consists of two people who are responsible for processing apps, as well as updating information on the various pages as creatures/locations/NPCs are submitted. They're also the ones documenting the changes made to the world of the game as players make those changes, but as of its transition into a sandbox game, are no longer leading the game in terms of an overarching plot. Most importantly, the mod team is here to make sure everyone has a good time, and to reinforce the rules if someone is a jerk and ruins someone else's aforementioned good time.

The mod team will do its best to answer any questions about the game world or respond to player concerns within 48 hours. Setting and game mechanic questions should be asked on the Settings & Location page or the Rules & Game Standards page, respectively.

Any other questions should be asked either via private message or in response to this entry. For announcements and to keep track of what's going on in the game, follow the game's plurk account.

Thanks to powerful headwinds, he would have a hard time doing a flyover, BUT he would discover that what they see on the surface is in fact the tops of towers and buildings mostly buried in sand. While characters can explore the parts of the city that are visible, it's currently impossible to get inside--the windows don't break, and any roof access points are buried or jammed. Starscream would be able to tell that the colony was like Anchor, but clearly much, much larger and made with more advanced building techniques. If he were to scan the buildings, or debris, he would find them to be a strange mix of substances. If someone could bring back something for testing, they would discover a hybrid of things like mythril, energon, vibranium, and other world-specific metals and compounds.

There's also a lot of sand pits around, each one with a tidy hole at the bottom. A large hole. A, oh, sandworm-sized hole. Active at night, these creatures have familiar tentacle-lined mouths, and several orifices that stay tightly shut when they're moving but open wide to show of teeth when they go after each other. They could probably band together and attack Starscream if he came close enough, doing some damage. The kind of damage that would mean death for a squishy human (or other squishy creatures).

In short, it would take a big archeological-style dig or a powerful sand storm to uncover the city, but it could be worth the trip to salvage interplanetary debris.

Just a super quick clarification, does the mystery city have a dome like Anchor as well, or is it entirely open-aired?

[modblob]

The center of the city is, like Anchor, mostly dug into the ground rather than upward, though it is surrounded by more city, dominated by tall spires. The part of the city that's depressed into the ground is mostly full of sand at this point, with the spires being the most visible part. Scanning would show that there used to be a dome over the city, but there is currently no power to the city so the dome is not functional at this time.

Perfect, thank you! That info will help us figure out the logistics of including characters who need to... breathe... for any exploring plans LOL.
