Question for Mu when he comes back, Will the bases be able to be selectable if they stay in the game?

I\'ve been to almost all of Mun\'s craters, I have found nothing, any more tips?

I\'d been told they were in a certain band of locations, but even checking all those from a height of 7km, i can\'t find it.

You have to be very close. Try landing then zooming out and rotating the camera around.

Can I please get some tips, I have relocated 3 of my 7 Munar satellites and rovers to look for it, and nothing. . .

'Unusualy' shaped crater near the equator. I know that in this situation every crater starts to look unusual, but actualy there aren\'t many. You have to be very close, I have no idea how far I was, when I saw it, but I was probably within 4km. Don\'t try to spot it in orbit, use the rovers, or a landing module. The monolith is in a quite obvious place inside the crater, it\'s location is not hidden too much. It can be easily mistaken as a distant rock or as a graphical bug. Try to aim for very small black spots.

Am I maybe looking at it now? http://i.imgur.com/6AAST.png or is it on the other side? (tell me via PM so it doesn\'t spoil the location for others)

It\'s like looking for a needle in a haystack, only x10 worse.

This is embarrassing :-[

Well i figured its about time I showed my face, been lurking a long time, ( since 0.8 ) so hows this for an first post :D couldn\'t resist after learning about this I had to find it. ???

As for how I found it: my method was to send a probe up into a 250kx250k orbit and screen shot places of interest then sent a rover down to take a closer look.

On a side note anyone do else do a few backflips on the way over to the site? The mentioned 10m/s speed was a bit dull try 40-50m/s 8)

Why hello there, welcome to the forums! :D

I usually travel at 20-30m/s at 2x time compression, but my rover is quite heavy (about as heavy as yours, judging by the look of your suspension), so I can probably safely travel at speeds a bit higher than people who just glue a crew pod to the cart and call it a day.

Also, how exactly are you going to get those kerbals home without an engine, hm?

Unfortunately that snapped off in a crash landing :o that said it is a mechjeb, and there was no real return plan other then dump an engine on the back and see if jumping off the biggest hill would do the trick.

I did use RCS to help keep the cart glued to the ground when I really picked up speed, reached about 70m/s before a near spill and slowing down a bit, but typically I drove on 1x at 45m/s

I have three Mun probes, two at 10km (on equatorial, one roughly polar) and one at around 3km (about 20 degrees inclination) and I still don\'t see anything. I\'m starting to think a probe isn\'t the best way to search for easter eggs.

Yeah, I\'ve come to the same conclusion and now I\'m basically just driving around in a rover. In my experience the minimum safe orbit around the Mun is about 3.5k, and from that altitude you won\'t see anything.

3 km is probably the absolute bare minimum, and only in certain orbits. I nearly clipped a few mountains.

The probes were good for one thing though, they helped me pick out a few landing sites that may or may not hold the monolith.

I did the same thing, i found that looking at the mun from orbit gave a better view/higher res then looking at it from the map. I found a high orbit more useful than a low (watched 2 orbits and found nothing of use) I’ll try redirecting a probe directly over it now I’ve found it and see if i can actually spot it from a low orbit.

Also to all those people still looking, don\'t forget to fast forward time so the other side of the mun is lit up and give that a look over, you could be looking on the wrong side.

Edit: I got within 3km from orbit of it and still couldn\'t see it. If you want to find it you\'l have to put a rover down

Hmm, that\'s unfortunate. Well, I guess it\'s time for me to start carpet bombing the mun with rovers (hopefully without the explosions).

You can actually see it from quite high up (other KSC(s?)) . I was able to see it from 130,000 meters.

I took the liberty of removing that picture. Please don\'t spoil the fun like that. ;)

Desert Raider I has paid off!

I almost missed it at first, it\'s quite small:
