Dinosaur Park at Avatar Island

Jurassic Park, dinosaur park, dinosaur museum, dinosaur bones
 I had not visited Avatar Island in a few months, so I thought it would be cool to stop by (and take a break from being killed in Survival Multiplayer). Planet of Cubes users and servers never fail to surprise me. If you were wondering, yes. That's someone being attacked by dinosaurs. Not just any dinosaurs, but Velociraptors. Yes. Velociraptors.

And as you can see, they're getting it in when it comes to attacking this poor soul. This is different from the many structures I saw on Avatar Island in the past. I was shocked and yet laughing at the whole ordeal because you could tell the guy wasn't hugging the dino but getting owned by one. Now because this was somewhat outside the spawn chunk zone, I cannot tell you if this was a user creation or a server production. However, when you're cruising through Avatar Island on Planet of Cubes, this is one structure you should stop and take a look at - it really sticks out.

I know many Planet of Cubes users are all in when it comes to Survival Multiplayer, but be sure to stop back past the Creative side of the house so you can check out these structures. This creation was near a History Museum and a place with a deer head. I'll check that out more and get back to you on my findings.

Island Mysteries

Because I'm a lover of good mysteries, if you venture out onto the smaller islands in Planet of Cubes, you'll come across things like this: A Giant Girl, and random words.  What I'm beginning to discover as I travel around this world is that there were many players who designed various things and for whatever reason just left them.

 It could be attrition - the fact they may have moved on to different things, or maybe they're somewhere else on the board making more statues and words. Needless to say this mystery left me looking all over, wondering what "Close" was in reference to, and if the giant girl had any relatives standing nearby. 
If you're looking for places to focus all of your attention onto good sunsets and wonderful nights, consider the outer, more smaller islands. I was definitely surprised at what I found, and it made for an enjoyable gaming experience. The opportunity for adventure is indeed infinite, and who knows, maybe I'll come across your Planet of Cubes creation one day - only time will tell. 

But if you do have one, leave me your coordinates in the comments below and I'll go check it out! It would be my pleasure!

What's bizarre about Bizarre Mountain?

Deep on the far side of the Planet of Cubes you find a mountain rightfully named Bizarre Mountain. Its vast mountains and community add to the mystical elements of this place. (Above) I found this figure on the side of the mountain. 
A lot of the homes on Bizarre Mountain  are  built on the side of the mountain. 
I found two of these fireplace - like things on the mountain. 

In the end I think Bizarre  Mountain lives up to its name. It would be on fitting to find a skull cave on day.

Planet of Cubes: Who built these statues?

Travel below the Colosseum and Machu Picchu and you come across an area south of -2: -117 that's just unique in its own way. How is it unique beyond anything else you see in Planet of Cubes? The statues. 

I'm not going to lie, I was a little startled when I first saw them. They stand mysterious. It's like they're the Stonehenge of the game. This area is barren, yet clear and has more than enough space to really build without a lot of objects in the way.  I think this is what makes Planet of Cubes such a unique Sandbox game. You come across these creations, you don't know who the creators were, and you'll probably never meet them. And if you do, simply say, "nice". Because it is some fantastic art south of the border. 



 
The entire area seemed to be this art gallery full of statues. I even think I saw a Griffin down there. 

Does anyone still go down there? Yes. I did see one user in the area building. I didn't get a chance to talk to him because he or she was building away in the area, and I didn't want to disturb them. There were a few messages on the ground written in blocks, and it seemed like many of the areas were partially built and then left to fend for itself. Creepy in a way, adding the statues in the area.
 
 So if you ever find yourself down that way, be sure to check them out. They are indeed a wonderful sight.
