Is rolling the giant golden ball a thing?

[Animalman]

Ever notice that giant golden ball in the highrise bridge ruins that you sometimes find?
Okay, so not too distant from that - about 3 mins away, i discovered another atlas ruin that seems to share a relationship with the ability to roll that ball. Here, i expect you need to roll the golden ball from one ruin to the other - and push it neatly into the circular gate.

Anyone know about this? Is this a thing?

Reason i suggest it is a thing is because - when you hit that ball it kicks it hard in a straight direction. I attempted to do it but cave systems were un-navigable at the time and i was low on suit power and life support. But was thinking about trying it again.

thoughts?

if i had suceeded in getting that ball out of the crator in which the ruins sat - i would have had a three minute straight to the atlas gate ruins. : /

what i did is i cleared the highrise ruins, got in my ship took off and imediately saw the second ruin, i figured it out then - that golden ball must go into the gateway of the other ruin. So i parked up at the gateway so i could find my way too it and headed back to the ruin but failed to have the patience to fiddle around with the ball in the caves, as there were no other way out in this case.

When the game was first launched, people tried all sorts of tricks with the golden balls. They tried to push them through the portals, they collected them, one guy even played crazy golf. No-one ever managed to get them to do anything mysterious. I think they're just animated scenery, like the swivel chairs.

I tried everything with these when the game was released pushing them to monoliths

To Portals

Pushing two of them across the planet

Pushing them from one ruin to another

There's not just Golden Orbs but silver ones also

The Orbs are strange if you push them too far from the Ruin they reset back at the Ruin

Thing is nobody worked out the puzzle yet, might of been something else they cut, will wait and see what 1.3 brings

If you notice sometimes when you fly past a Ruin the Orbs move on their own, some even fall through the Ruin onto the ground, they were definately meant for something

I did a lot of work on the ruins, still work in progress

IMAGE 2 - to portals - did you push it through the gate?

I dropped one on an animal, doesnt seem like there is physics damage. All it did was shoot off very fast.

Portals are dead content AKA. they don't work full stop. The balls do ♥♥♥♥ all, don't waste your time.

Whathisface didn't have to directly say it but they were leaning towards the possibility of them having something more to them in how they were wording their responses. Portals are dead content and the balls do ♥♥♥♥ all that voids any thought that they actually do anything.

There was zero negativity in my comment. I just don't beat around the bush.

Its the way you jump into posts all the time with negativity and bad langauge you seem a very angry person

You have been hanging around these forums for the last year, mostly negative comments and hate for the game and yet your still here, all of this cant be good for you, maybe move on and find something you enjoy...

Argh.. grow up. 'OMG he said bad words!!!!'. They're no different from any other word, they can be used in the correct manner which fits the sentence structure or they can be used in the wrong manner where every two words is ♥♥♥♥ this, ♥♥♥♥ that, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ etc. This feckin' taboo about swearing, mhrmm.... I've explained it I don't know how many times, this is how I talk, you don't like it? Well, good thing it's filtered then isn't it? I have the vocabulary of a sailor - get used to it, it won't change any time soon. There's absolutely no aggression or anger in any of my posts unless I specifically state I'm getting pissed off.

No (what a surprise you're wrong in your assumptions, yet again). I've been posting on this forum trying to bring light to the areas that this game falls short on in the, probably blind, hope that by some miracle HG might actually show that they have their heads screwed on enough that they can improve the game in a meaningful way.

Constantly ass kissing them over petty updates is just encouraging weak and pitiful updates to always be done rather than pushing them to out perform their previous work. The game will take ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years to become anything substantial if they keep putting out those pathetically small updates that add barely a handful hours of content every few months.

I specifically focus on the negativity because that brings the areas the game falls short on, like I've said, to light - the more people that do that (in a constructive manner) guess what? Things might actually change for the better of the game.

Hmm you review is very constructive

"AVOID THIS GAME AT ALL COSTS.

Bare bones and mindnumbingly boring gameplay.
Rip off and that's saying it light, I truely feel sorry for the Russians (compare your price to what it is in Rubles etc.)
Spineless and utterly pathetic development team that slings mud at everyone but themselves and spits in your face if you offer constructive criticism.

Save yourself the headache, burn your money it'll be more entertaining."

You already uninstalled this game twice, why did u even bother applying for a v4 pass

Obviously me saying I don't beat around the bush went right over your head. I considered doing a full blown 'proper' review with about 20 paragraphs and ♥♥♥♥ in it but then I thought 'Wait a minute... half of these reviews are like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bibles, could ye even be arsed?' then I decided I'll just hit it on the head and be done with it 1. For the reason and 2. Because I didn't want to waste my time as well.

Bare bones and mindnumbingly boring gameplay - still relevant.
Rip off - still relevant, but the discounts are a step in the right direction.
♥♥♥♥ dev team - debatable if it's still relevant, I'll wait until the next update to decide (still spineless though)

Now compare that very brief and straight to the point review to those that are insanely long. What one gets to the point quicker? I'll answer the question for you: anything similar to mine.

I've actually uninstalled it once. But I have downloaded/installed it twice, I didn't buy it twice though. Curiousity killed the cat - whether I get one or not, eh.. it's not the end of the world; I doubt that the upcoming update is anything totally groundbreaking - I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Yeah whatever, lets see a week after the update, when you continue your tirade against the game

You dont even give the game a chance, did you even play any of the Foundation or Pathfinder updates ?
