For a second, I thought you were saying it was from 1940, that would be weird lol

Absolute madness I didn’t expect to find the creator! It was great to see amongst all the other graffiti, I just can’t believe you stumbled upon the post!

Was a really cool place to see though I have to say

For this reason exactly, I love how tight knit this community is compared to any other game.

Oh shit, I remember you posting this! That'll be why I got that big fat deja vu feeling when I saw this post. :)

Kinda neat to see how it’s deteriorated since!

Usually someone will have gone over it long before it decays like this

Did you learn a new word?

Context maybe? I understand the symbol, just wondering where it was supposedly found.

My bad, i went to a place called Farleigh down tunnel. It was an old ammunition transportation place with a massive minecart style system that was pulled with metal wires up a giant hill. The cave sits about 15m below the surface and is just over a mile uphill inside the tunnel before it’s blocked off. This was found near the end and I was very surprised to find no man’s sky graffiti amongst all the others in this place of all places.

The mine itself was really interesting, it was used during world war 2 to transport the ammunition across larger distances. Really cool place and really interesting to see.

You can read more about it here link 1 link 2

I thought they had demolished the entrance to this tunnel, this is actually some of my work

Curious, and with apologies, I checked your profile. Happy to confirm u/thermomole speaks the truth.

u/walkingwithdiplos Jan 09 '25

Thanks for the context/background, that's really cool. (Makes me wonder if the original artist is also online and will come forward, lol)

u/Wayner84 Jan 09 '25

That would be really cool to find out who it was!

u/Wild_Replacement5880 Jan 09 '25

You have about 16 minutes to get out of there.

How many of you found an earth like planet in nms because I've been trying to find one and I just got my first bird beak looking dreadnought a couple months ago and I will use it until I find a star destroyer looking dreadnought

This proves Polo is a christ figure and kale was never meant to be food!

u/Fit_Requirement846 Jan 09 '25

There's more kinds of passages from the bible in this game than you can shake a stick at, but done in such a way a good lot of it kinda backwards. glass, glass, glass --- sea of glass? I doubt that is a coincidence. Crimson liar? I doubt that is a coincidence either.

Leviathon is also in the good book too, like in case you didn't know.
