No Man's Sky Archaeology
The Heart of Sosashibukay created by player Jen1892 is a farm notable for its ruined features created after the Atlas Rises v1.3 cataclysm. Immediately noticeable is the levitating crop of star bulb plants hovering meters above the surface, the planter lost in the update. Secondly, the base was half-buried in the landscape because of Atlas Rises, a feature which would have gone unnoticed had it not been for an archival photo showing the full height of the structure. Excavation proved that the full elevation was preserved, albeit half of it underground with the lowest ramp and airlock submerged underwater. One communication station remains next to the planet's portal, while a cluster of four surround an unoccupied central base unit one hour's walk from the surviving base.
This was the final player settlement surveyed by Andrew Reinhard for the No Man's Sky Archaeological Project, and includes photos, videos, synthetic text, archival and photogrammetry images, and manifest of communication stations and their inscriptions.
