think i found the abyss

[Seth]

Here i was strolling along in my prawn suit exploring and i came across a ledge.
Not knowing how deep it went i decided to just take a leap of faith and go for it.
Wow i was surprised i fell down over 5000m and still no site of anything.

does this mean i just walked off the edge of the map or is there water this deep or deeper?

Sadly it's the edge of the map.

Yeah the edges of the map aren't exactly "tidy" which means it's pretty easy to mistake the edge for more terrain.
I'm not even sure why it's just a sudden drop, they should really smooth out the edges into a gradual slope that decends to 10k metres. Add something like a "stress warning" when going lower than 5k which will insta crush anything. That will make sure no one "falls off the edge"

There is a subtle clue, the light changes and gets more blue shortly after the edge. If you have a graple arm youy can get back up. Unless you go too deep, which you have.

You can go on for a very long time. It use to crash the game if you ended going too far.

Back a while ago I decided to explore the reaches, and decided on stopping where the edge of the landscape ended, and build my base on the underside of the world.

These videos are pretty old, but still cool.


Here is a small video I made about it way back when...

Here is another base I made at a depth of 3000+ Meters...

I kind of wish they added a small colored line or some sort of indicator. I ha e done the same thing....it is fun though. And thankfully with the console commands, just respawn what you lost.

For fun, i once built a base at the bottom of the world. Could only get there by suiciding the prawn to ge down there....then using the oxygen cheat and the bladder to get back to surface. Not practical, but was neat.
