Veps and Axum(?)

These gifs would be better quality if Tumblr didn't restrict file size so much 😭

Making these has made me realize that the Axum sentences are fixed in space. The glyphs rotate to face the player but stay fixed in their spacial position.

I also can't tell if the glyphs have changed because of updates or if it's random gen. Uuuugh I wish I could play the game again so I could try and test the random gen theory myself!!!!

The summits of mine dumps may possess a conical shape and stand out as notable landscape features, but they can also be flat and eroded. A mine dump is formed from waste rock delivered from the mine or quarry to the apex of the cone by railcars, skip hoists, or conveyors.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

Spoil heaps may be considered uneconomic waste by many companies, but to geologists they are a treasure trove of sparkling minerals and criss crossing veins. My sixth form geology teacher would regularly raid a white gold spoil heap in Wales, giving specimens to her students as good luck charms for their exams. We still don’t know if her activities were entirely legal, but they did help spark a love of minerals within her students that lasts to this day.

However, these rocks aren’t just pretty to look at; they can also provide an insight into the type, age and order of mineralisation that occurred. So much information can be gathered from such sites that universities will take students to spoil heaps as a field based exercise in mineral exploration.

Of course they are also the perfect place to add to any rock hounds collection, after all one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
