wear a good hat
or you might get a slight sunburn.

Spoilers ahead:
We cannot see it, there's a large machine in low orbit (I presume) that fires lasers randomly across Venge. Thankfully it's solar powered, so it should not function at night.

Skeletons need not fear it. Makes you even more suspicious of the spooky jerks.

More spoilers ahead: While we cannot see it directly, we can see its sibling. The machine crashed nearby in The Eye is another one of these laser firing monstrosities, so we can get a pretty good sense for what it looks like.

skeletons talk about the origin of the deathrays, grab you a skeleton in your group and go fight some thralls!!!

The entire map of Kenshi is littered with the wreckage of "Eyes", with the namesake region in the Great Desert having the most intact one.,

These are ancient Superweapons, large orbital battlestations than seem to focus direct sunlight into an intense beam. At one point in time, even predating the Second Empire, the world of Kenshi was almost certainly a water world, with over 95% Water coverage (the only real explanation for the hyperfauna skeletons that litter places like the Bonefields) The "Eyes" are likely from that time period.

My assumption has always been that Kenshi's world is actually just a moon of the larger planet in the distance, colonized, and spared the brunt of the technological apocalypse that destroyed the homeworld, which appears scarred with blackened glass plains, indicating a concerted high intensity thermal weapon was used against the planetary surface.

There’s a spot a little north of the fog lands that you’d find interesting as well

So this would mean without the eyes, the world of Kenshi would have no land mass :L

Yes very much so, the location is much like the eye but it is one of the old metal building cites you see everywhere with a crater in the middle with strange things witch i will not spoil sticking up. You can also find one of the "things" sticking up in The Great Desert suggesting it to not die in the blast and was killed somehow.

Yes, it's entirely possible the Eyes are not actually battlestations, but terraformers designed to vaporize the liquid water.

We know that the water level was much higher in the relatively recent past, long enough for the Skeletons to remember, as the Swamp used to be completely submerged, with a great port city (Likely where the "Grid" is now) somewhere on the peripheral.

You see the downed thingy in The eye? Thats one of those and skellies have a dialogue when you pass by it.

But Skellies said that it was causing destruction and wreaking havoc yes?

Well they lost control of it after the war, much like how after large warfare the tanks and other weapons get sold to varying people and places. The eyes got sold to space.

The eyes could easily have been an energy transfer device, that is just malfunctioning now. Perhaps in the golden age before, the Eyes focused their solar beams down onto massive solar energy plants equipped to receive these powerful beams and convert them into useable electricity.

I dont think it does that but nice speculation.
