Aegrim Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 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.

kockaspiton Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico88 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannonFodder Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sordid Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Why hello there, welcome to the forums! 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?

CannonFodder Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 'Also, how exactly are you going to get those kerbals home without an engine, hm?'Unfortunately that snapped off in a crash landing 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlternNocturn Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

CannonFodder Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 '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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what-the Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
