Duna: SSTV signal

[Algomeysa]

So, I'm Easter Egg hunting; I'm in Duna's south polar region, I'm at the area where there's a white-ish pyramid-shaped hill... (Yes, everything white-ish in the ice caps, but it's more so, the surrounding hills are more pink-ish). It certainly looks more unnatural than the surrounding hills, but not so unnatural that it looks like an artificial structure.

From what I've read on the Internet, I was expecting to climb this hill and have the SSTV signal audio blast into my speakers. But it never does.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing, as of .23 the SSTV signal is not accessible because you can't move the camera below the surface enough to hear it. Also the Magic Boulder is gone so don't bother looking for it either.

Well, darn.

Similarly, I'm now at a spot where supposedly there should be a Mars Curiosity camera arm sticking out of the sand, and I don't see that either --- is that gone too?

Ok, like Mulder, I want to believe.

I edited the settings.cfg file (there's no way to change this in game?)

I changed

PLANET_SCATTER = False

to PLANET_SCATTER = True

When I restarted the game and restored to my save,

I see some distant rocks around.

But still no robot arm sticking out.

PLANET_SCATTER_FACTOR = 0.5

should it be something else?

ScanSat will allow you to make orbital maps that will identify the position of anomalies, but not what they are. If you have a B(een) T(here) D(one) T(hat) scanner on your anomaly hunting craft, and are within 20 km of the anomaly, you can click 'instruments' in the small map window and get a 'distance to' counter that should walk you right to them.

Well, someone else can't find it either, see the tail end of this thread. I'm wondering if this one vanished in an update (or, maybe like the SSTV one, is still there but "underground" where it can't be reached.
