So, I found this...

[RandomRyan]

I was about to quit KSP,but this happened

I read the KSwiki, it says you only have 1/40 chance to make this happen.

(i must be really lucky:cool:)

I am really surprised to see this(coz u know, its rare(duh))

[Triop]

But is it realy possible to make a sandcastle on the mun ?

[RandomRyan]

I dont know if its a yes or a no.

[Starwhip]

Can confirm this is real.

Haven't seen this for myself, but I keep hoping.

[Rithsom]

I just saw the Mun sandcastle today too. I'm pretty sure its chance of occurring is much lower than 1/40, that was what it was back in 0.18 or so.

It doesn't work 1/40 for me. I played KSP for nearly 2 years, racking up over 1000 hours and nearly as many game starts, and never once saw it. Then suddenly one day the castle appeared. And it continued to appear every single time I started the game for about a week, like 20 or 30 times in a row. And it hasn't appeared since, with hundreds more game starts.

I've seen this. There's also a scene where the Kerbals are standing around the crashed lander looking at it.

[TKO]

The castle appeared multiple times in a week? Weird. I've seen it two or three times over the years. It just occasionally pops up. Always a joy to see when it does.

[Brotoro]

I've seen it twice.

[CaptainApollo]

That's awesome, I've never seen it! I want to now though!

That's bizarre. I set it up specifically as a straight random chance, unless it was changed later.

That one, with the Kerbals looking at the crashed lander, was added by the Toolbar mod, its not a stock scene

Weird... for me, it feels like 1/40... I stumble upon that scene roughly once every two to three weeks or so, and its been somewhat consistent

It's right there in the first post.

[katateochi]

I've not seen it in ages, not since 0.90.0 I think. Before then I've seen it 4 or 5 times, admittedly I did play more KSP then (and the game used to crash more, so more restarts), but I still play quite a lot.

[wossname]

I've only seen the regolith castle once in hundreds of games.

I'm pretty sure I saw a bunch of Kerbals on the mun having a party but I can't remember much about it and don't have a screenshot and can't find on on the googles. Maybe I was dreamed it, or was drunk. Or both.

[RAINCRAFTER]

I've heard of this, except I have never seen one. And I've been playing for 1 year and 1.5 months.

EDIT: I thought I would get lucky right now because of this post, except I'm on the orbiting Kerbin Screen.

I've been playing for maybe a little over a year, and have never seen that. I have about 500 hours, but I never knew that was even there. I'll keep an eye out for this mythic castle.

[impwarhamer]

I've seen it before, but I amused it was just there all the time and never looked for it again after.

[Deddly]

But is it realy possible to make a sandcastle on the mun ?

Since nice footprints can form in regolith, I don't see why a small regolithcastle shouldn't be possible. This is why we need to send people back to the moon, to answer proper science questions like this.

EDIT: NASA disagrees with me:

"Lunar dust has some interesting qualities, but it’s clearly not play material for children or adults. Building a sandcastle on the moon would be dangerous and impossible. No liquid water puts a stop to sandcastle creations. On Earth, water sticks to the sand, and causes sand particles to stick to each other. On the moon, because there is no water, lunar dust cannot stick to itself. You could never build a sandcastle on the moon.

This happened before i exit a game:

playin my save,sent Lodzer to Minmus,land on the Mint-ish planet

and went back home.(not sure if this helps or not)

[DMSP]

I've seen it 3 times, and it is still a huge suprise!

Incredibly, two of the times were right after each other!

[justidutch]

I've always wanted there to be a 'build sandcastle' action on the right-click menu

[Windspren]

I've seen it once

[CaptainApollo]

It's right there in the first post.

Haha, Shapget, I meant in my game!

[monstah]

I read the KSwiki, it says you only have 1/40 chance to make this happen.

(i must be really lucky:cool:)

If you've played less than 40 times, yeah, but if you've amassed hundreds of hours like me and so many others in this forum...

But yeah, I enjoy seeing that sand castle every time.
