I’ve Decided to go ahead with my idea! How it works is, I write a message out of blocks on an exo world. The first person to reply in this thread with a picture of their character standing in front of the message wins a prize!

I’ve thought about this before. Is it possible to place shop stands on exos with an item in them? You could hide them all over the place. I’m 99% sure you wouldnt be able to but have never got around to testing it.
I think it’s a great idea! The blocks would still show who they were built or owned by wouldn’t they? If so just outline that clearly in the contest. That should stop any trolling… Or atleast mostly?
Just do your signs anyway…who care if regened or trolled…no one finds no prize given that’s the only thing. Who cares if run around a exo not to find a sign if it was regen. Gets people running around anyway…don’t over think it…just get it done…Lol
Just don’t tell anyone what the message says.
Maybe even add details to a sign on the extended text to let people know to go to the forums to claim their prize, which might even help to drive a “lone wolf” to engage in the community.
Nope, the ownership comes from the beacon, not the blocks.
I had an idea like this. But mine is a race for the boulder ring. Who can find the first boulder ring of each color on the new exo. 1000c per boulder ring. Boulder rings that exist on permanent planets don’t count.
Nah I want to give everyone an equal chance with a fair start but I will buy any old exo boulder rings I am missing (see the CCCP under row C at DK Mall) and there will be a separate wall of fame for people who helped with the colors project
Semi off topic so hiding here so only those who are interested can read
Still not sure if the boulder rings are tier restricted or just only on certain planets like other items, or maybe both.
So after a little forum digging it turns out that you can put cobalt fragments in an atlas to find boulder rings. So I went and tested it on Exo Otrardiang since I knew there were a bunch of boulder rings there and could test it easily. Sure enough, blue dots all over the place and after gathering a couple in one spot the blue dot vanished from the atlas.
Have a look at boulder rings on the “Knowledge” screen and it should explain fairly well what types of conditions they favour. And could possibly explain why you cant see any on that exo there.
Im not at home so cant check myself but I think burn planets are the most preferred? And only caves at low altitudes maybe? I cant remember exactly the details but I have never had a problem finding boulder rings when I actually target them using the cobalt/atlas method.
The knowledge page in conjunction with an atlas is a really solid database for finding anything you could ever want in game. It still baffles me the questions I see so often asked in discord that would be easily found in the knowledge screen.
But how often do people direct new players to the knowledge screen? I’m bad for directing players to external resources instead, even though in-game reference material has improved a LOT in the past 12 months.
