Eve's giant sand mound/pyramid

[painking]

Haven't seen anything about this, but there's a big ol' pile of sand out there in Eve. The thing is gargantuan.

I don't have the specific coordinates, but the rover/flag icon are right on top of it, you can use the nearby lake as a point of reference. It should appear as a small, low res dot on Eve's surface from orbit. The distance from my rover and that lander is about 100 Km.

I was about 2km away when that picture was taken. After learning about Duna's SSTV signal I wondered if there might be on on top of that mountain as well, but I deleted this space program, so Jeb is no longer there to summit it, and I've turned my own sights inward, so I won't be back on Eve for awhile. If anyone wants to summit that hill (if it's even possible, it's way steep), and see if there's an SSTV signal up there, then give it a go.

edit: fixed links cause steam hates me.

Those links didn't work, but if it's the one I think you mean then there isn't an sstv on it.

[Whirligig Girl]

Does it look like the Dunese pyramid a little bit? The link doesn't work.

Wow...

Or it is a cool terrain feature,

Or it is just an unfound easter egg. Good job!

I thought Nova said all easter eggs have been found in another thread

[Moon Goddess]

I don't think he said for sure that they had all been found just that we had ones on the list which were bugs not easter eggs (moho holes for instance)

You would think if there were something there to find that ISA MapSat would show it.

If I could get ISA MapSat to work... *grumble*

Looks like there's a new feature in the Kerbol System I need to go check out! Neat find, painking.

i like eve because it reminds me so much of a super mario 64 level XD

MapSat only shows the Easter eggs that the developer hard coded into it, if there are any so secret - so much that ISA was never told, then it would not be on mapSat.

And all this time I thought it found anomalies by scanning the ground. I didn't realize they were pre coded into it. Makes sense though, with the 2.5k render distance it wouldn't be able to scan them from orbit.

GUYS,I have confirmed this isn't an easter egg,we found it out on a thread before the april forum burst.

I discovered this odd thing first.

So this is not an easter egg but an odd terrain anomaly.

[Coneshot]

Is this the place?

I didn't drive the rover there, the sides are almost vertical, I had to land on top (took three attempts)
