Have I re-found the Magic Boulder????????


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I was doing some ksp today, testing out some fighters with BDA, I tried to switch vessels but this suddenly showed up. It appeared as if I had switched to a strange asteroid! Upon a closer look, it looked very similar to the Magic Boulder which has been missing since 0.18! So has the magic boulder suddenly appeared in my game? Or is it just a glitch? There were two strange objects in my game during that time. The 'Magic Boulder' was on a collision course with the sun. Some photos:

Yep, you sure did. The magic boulder was brought back as a rare easter egg when intercepting normal asteroids a while back. They come in a few different colours, a good incentive to go rockhopping.

Y'know I just had an idea for a challenge, thinking about rockhopping. Build an asteroid station by intercepting and grabbing as many asteroids as possible before your ship is too heavy to move. More points for more asteroids, bonus points for bigger asteroids, winner winner chicken dinner for a magic boulder.

The unique Magic boulder was destroyed and it was replaced by randomly spawning glowy boulders of various colors. One more thing that liquided off lots of players.

To be fair, an easter egg that was badly modeled and blows up nearby ships wasn't that great of a feature.

The proper solution was to repair it and preserve its meaning, instead of destroying the uniqueness of a beloved part of the game.

Additionally, they are known at least in the game's language as "Glimmeroids".
