Any steep cliffs/craters in the game now?


Recommended Posts

Hi all.

Does anyone know if there still are any really large, steep(like 80* or more) cliffs or craters in the game? Kind of like the Moholes, but without the bugginess. There used to be one large crater on the way to the Mun's north pole(shown in the first link of my signature), with something strange at the bottom, but for some reason it has been changed to a small plateau somewhere before 0.90... I suppose there might be some near the poles of moons and planets, but has anyone encountered any particularly interesting? Like the Kerbin's ice shelf, but TALLER.

In 0.90, Duna's north pole had some very impressive cliffs radiating out from it in all directions, and the pole itself was marked by a nearly vertical mountain. The red circle is the location of a rover I drove there for a DMagic contract to get data from the north pole.

Ain't been back since so can't say if it still looks like that.

I did not find any of the usual tears in the terrain there. However, in that area, shadows of terrain scatter boulders miles away pass through some of the cliffs and appear as dark spots on the ground in the area of the poles.

The hills near the north pole have some steep drops on them, ill have to go have a closer look at them and see how steep the sides are but i swear there is a 90 degree hill up there.

Thanks a lot :) I hoped more for cliffs like the very early, dropped idea for what later became Tylo(IIRC); that brownish planet/asteroid had some really massive ones; but these also look interesting enough :wink: Maybe I'll find some more with high-res SCANSat later.

Found a pretty impressive Half Dome northeast of KSC. Cliff's about two and a half miles tall.

I never liked the Mun's polar mountain. It was obviously a mapping glitch rather than a real mountain.
