Asteroid

This section is in need of revision. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. The reason given is: The asteroid was secretly implemented in the 2019-10-21 update[1] and only hinted at[2]. Therefore not a lot of information is known about this feature yet.

An asteroid about to impact a habitable world.

The asteroid is an event that starts when a new avatar enters the universe. Their starting world will be in danger and need saving.

The asteroid is explained by the stargazer of a village.

Time Until Impact

The time before the asteroid will impact is a week, 168 hours, from when the avatar first spawns on the world.

Detection

Cities with an observatory report the presents of asteroids in its solar system, which is necessary to asteroids at extreme range in the solar system. Asteroids known to be on a collision course with a world will cause an event log alert in the city report.

Space stations with sensors or cities with radar will also report asteroids in the their event log, if they are detected within sensor range.

Impact

Nothing is known about what happens if the asteroid impacts the world. But it is assumed that the world is destroyed.

Destruction

The goal is to develop the needed technology to get into space and blowup the asteroid.

The asteroid can be destroyed by a spacecraft with weapons, or military weapon systems.

The asteroid will slowly break down into smaller pieces as it is damaged.
