AlternNocturn Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Alright, I have to ask. What part did you use to build that craft like that? I\'ve been looking for that for ages and I still don\'t know what mod it\'s a part of and where to get it.EDIT: Nevermind, I found it, or rather something similar. Figures I\'d find it right after I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Finally found the first Munolith in a crater that I had already visited 3 or 4 times. You have to get really close to it for it to become visible, less than a kilometer, so it really is like finding a needle in a haystack. I got fed up with random landings in every crater to find the Munolith. Thanks to R4m0n\'s plugin, at least we can use some kind of methodology. And it works !First of all, put a MuonSat around the equator, with long range detection. By following the red and green light, you can get a rather precise idea of the longitude and therefore a strong candidate site.Then send a rover with the short range tracker to locate the Munolith. And finally once you have the correct coordinates, land a hab module for long duration study of the artifact.Now I\'m putting the MuonSat into a 60° orbit to get full coverage of the Mun. Be right back... I think we\'ve picked up a second signal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilio Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 A day in a life of the Explorer Team...OK, so the research have started. I think I saw a Monolith...Sending a rover to investigate.It\'s a beauty...Now, time to further research...I KNOW it\'s not really symmetric... that\'s a design error...What just happened ?Now we\'ve got a ring of emergency chutes...Raaah ! Stupid chutes !New flight, approaching the coastAbout to land....FAILAn new helo designA new FAILOh no, i did it again !!!This time, we\'ve got the emergency chutesA donut. Out of parachutes. Don\'t ask me why.Passing near a mountain...and crashing near a mountain.Definitly, Turboprop Heavy Explorer (it\'s his name) cannot land. So let\'s try an other design. Turboprop Explorer 2Panorama from the Observer station.This one too cannot land.And now, a badder design. Five seconds before crash.This time it\'s gonna fly right. The mighty.... Light Explorer 1 !Nevermind.A little improvement...But... no.... we\'re stalling !!!!Splash. See you next time guys.Research will continue. Normally....

deadshot462 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Found the second Munolith:This one was tougher to find. I believe it\'s cursed on my game - I crashed 3 rovers near it while searching for it with the Muon detector:(The above rover fell down a nearby canyon to a destructive demise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you press and hold f9, it will load that quicksave, no more lost rovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilio Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The propellers are from Damned Aerospace rev1 in plugin powered addon release. It\'s now in rev2, so i may update my crafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibb31 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 And we have all 3 Munoliths.Sorry for the dark pic (which may or may not be a hint).The last one is tricky to get to, my lander lost a leg on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I found a Munolith on kerbin. Im so proud of myself. :3. Didnt even mean to find it. Its near KSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seyvern Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 its actually near the south pole. I was conforming to the standard on this thread and not giving too many hints about the exact locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richy teh space man Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Halfway there reaching them =PWhat I think would be a cool idea is if you could pick them up and bring em back for research or something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephram Kerman Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Finally! Lodestone 2 arrives, fashionably late to the party. (Lodestone 1 got a little over excited with the accelerator pedal, and then found a tiny hill. The area of the debris field has been named Lodestone Park in their honor.) Immediately upon arrival, Bill turned on the radio to report the successful mission. Suddenly, all the Hot Pockets in the fridge exploded.
