Not the full story (yet)

Okay, so we know about the Wardens, their structures, their efforts to remain isolated, and their eventual fate. The surviving ruins are impressive.

But... who built all the rough wooden scaffoldings? It wasn't the Wardens. Something's telling me there's much more that Sentinel Corporation isn't telling us...

[Maljen]

I noticed that too. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the lore fleshed out.

[No Name Bae]

I agree... I guess we have to keep playing & waiting for more updates

[Archimonde]

Well, is known that there was other planet crafter few years before story, maybe he found these ruins too
And survivors who crushed there with those spaceships

[Dark Phantom]

have the same feeling. Think there is more to come on the lore as they still have right much more planned to add to the game. Not sure however how much more map they plan to add either.

Why wouldn't the wood scaffolding be from the Wardens?
Remember the stone tablet on one of the decrepit wood bridges in the Mushroom cave?

Stairs are among the first modules Planet Crafters are able to craft...

There's the Wardens Keys, too. Would a fellow Planet Crafter have put them back in place after finding them and opening the doors?

And a Planet Crafter would have realised the value of this find, and attempted to call back to Sentinel Corp about it in the hope that the find is valuable enough to get off the planet, or at least have some decent extra kit dropped down to speed up the terraforming process

If Sentinel Corps is trying to keep the Wardens a secret, they would still have dropped equipment to speed up the terraforming process and help with the search. Then, when all locations have been found...
Surprise, surprise! Orbital Bombardment destroys everything, including the PCs base.

...

Non sequitur. The Wardens built in stone.

Anyone catch the name of the planet we are marooned on? Treha. Look familiar? Play scrabble with the letters - Earth. Coincidence? What other secrets are there hidden in the messages?

I can hardly wait to find out just why there are all these crashed ships and even a crashed warp gate all in this rather small area of distant planet like it's the Bermuda Triangle of the universe.

There was a reference to the Wardens' planetary defense that would "drain the energy of their ships and prevent them from communicating." They hoped it would keep humans away.

With that.makes me think we will later find a machine and as such disable it.

Pretty sure that's gonna be somewhere in the storyline, if there's a device to stop the humans then how are we ever to leave? Also wanting to know more about the "survivors" left on the planet, as of yet no bodies have been found, and going on the timestamp on messages you would see some kind of remains... Just saying....

This raises a question I've had about the lore. We do find A body, but it's hidden...
With the new lore, I wonder about the timeline for this planet.

-lush planet with occasional meteor storms, Wardens arrive, build underground/hidden bases (built with stone) with some capacity to manipulate large rock formations to hide said bases (behind giant stone walls or mountainside)

-anti-ship weapon set up to keep humans away or make 'em crash.

-giant meteor comes, razes the planet, wiping out all life and altering the climate, stripping the atmosphere... leaving the lifeless husk to be developed.

-countless 'Planet Crafters' land though we only find one landing pod outside our own. This is presumed from all the tables that Xiaodan had tacked up.

Where are the bodies? Where are the landing pods? How many humans found this place BEFORE the life ending meteor to cause the Wardens concern before the Big One hit?

Why did an entire civilization have only a couple of minor cities?

Where is all their tech? They came in a space ship, we presume they have technology enough to blast through rock, to hide their bases, to build their buildings and to build the anti-ship device.

Who built the wooden scaffolding around the bases? If the Wardens, why were they using water wheels for power when they had tech? What caused the low-tech ending?

So many questions.

[Seabee]

Oh, the quandary of questions with no answers. Will we ever find it? Red.Adept, you have some very interesting questions. Can't wait to see what is coming...beside more meteors that could possible destroy our base.

I kinda figured that that big glowing orb might be the planetary defense

[Deperem]

I'm just wondering where the wood came from. Couldn't have been the Wardens, as the wood would have decayed into dust after all this time. And if it was someone else, where on this planet did they find wood? There's nothing until the player arrives.
