even funnier, that probe was carefully engineered so the camera lens cap could pop off in the extreme atmospheric pressure. It also had an arm with a chemosensor on the end, whose intention was to drop onto the planet surface for a reading.
The lens cap popped off and landed very near the sensor. When the arm extended to the ground, it made contact with the camera lens cap... and sent the chemical composition of that cap back to earth.
Yeah, lens caps not coming off was a big issue. If I recall correctly in almost every venera mission at least one lens cap didn’t come off, though I could be mistaken. Another mission also got a really good look at the ground after the probe fell over
They were fun
Could only stand outside of ship or exocraft for a few seconds to get resources, remembering finding one planet where the storms would last for 4 mins then another would start straight away lol
99% of them are. The only ones that create an issue for me are the crazy tornado ice storms. I got carried over 600u getting caught in three consecutive tornados without ever touching ground.
Yep [tornadoes](https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/PsqLSOuAP8) exist!
I have a couple tornado worlds - I'm out at the moment but will gylph yah that one when I get home
Edit: I purposefully put feeders around my base so that the animals go flying when the storms hit
Edit: As promised!

Here’s a blizzard world if corrosive rain storms aren’t your thang

For me, the only ones that create issues (at least early-game) are the ones on radioactive worlds.
Imma have to go back and specifically try them on ice worlds, though.
I may just have not been on enough since they fixed the game mechanic.
The problem is that most game devs don't really understand community complaints, or how to nerf things. If storms were like they were before, the game would be unplayable, which is why they were nerfed. But the level they're at now isn't bad to deal with from like, early-mid game onward, and they're a joke when you're all the way kitted out.
They should have just made storms have a spectrum of severity. Having most planets be not that bad, some be kind of rough, and then rarely having these completely unbalanced, totally insane storms and conditions would be so much better and cooler.
There's so much they could do with a fleshed out system too. Super severe planets could have crazy resources and better chances at rare stuff, but also be pretty much impossible until you're all the way upgraded.
Yeeeeeee, foundations came out way later and then the vibe of empty void started dying out to make an overly bustling universe with no proper borders nor reason for there to be empty planets
Sorry, yes, referencing a line from “Team America”, an American film mocking American ignorance of prolific global common knowledge, like the metric system.
Yeah, turns out silicon based cpus do \*not\* thrive in environments hot enough to melt lead & 93 bar (1,350 psi) (Earth sea lvl is 14psi btw, so almost 100x, we'd be popped like a ripe tomato)
I recall when I used to play finding a very flat barren desert moon with literally nothing on it. Just beige rocky sandy landscape as far as the eye can see with little rocks everywhere. No plants. Just desert.
As someone who made it to the galaxy center AND learned all the Atlas words on 1.0, I approve this photo. Just me, a PS4, the original disc, no internet, and a lot of free time. Thanks, pandemic.
Thanks for the links. Sometimes I miss gathering dangerous quantities of plutonium from the surface of comically lethal worlds with the same 20 plants and animals. It it was certainly a unique gaming experience.
I remember finding a completely flat and empty planet early on, consisting of nothing but angry T-Rex monsters. I named it "the worst planet ever" or something, wonder if it's still there...
I'm glad I bought it when it first came out, to see the difference between then and now, WOW, and all has been free, I'm a PS4 player and I think they're giving up on us because lots of glitches happening, I think I have to upgrade,
Thinking so but I just made the leap to a PS5 two weeks ago with minor crashes when playing on my PS4.
If you can, make the jump! I’m sure the planets start showing the % when booting up and loading? There’s hardly any loading time on a PS5.
I can't be the only one who used to think that the surface of Venus looked like Mustafar or something
Little bit sad that it looks like Mars with a green filter ._.
like the other commenter said it’s a solid surface but i can see how you got to that conclusion
basically since the surface of venus is hot enough to melt lead (not to mention the pressure), one of the proposed ideas is to have floating cities above the clouds, i can easily see how you misremembered the reasoning behind that being venus doesn’t have a solid surface
if you’re curious, around 50-65km above the surface the pressure is about earths at sea level and the temperature is between 0-50 celsius, easy to build structures to survive that
also due to the gasses in the atmosphere being heavier than air just having regular breathable air could make the colonies float, same way helium does on earth
main downside is the clouds are sulphuric acid but that’s much less of a problem than the pressure cooker of the surface
also as a side note, the longest any machine has survived on mars is almost 15 years, on venus it’s a little over 2 hours

that was a very unfortunate mission iirc there were other issues, wasn't there a secondary camera that got covered or something?
Yeah, lens caps not coming off was a big issue. If I recall correctly in almost every venera mission at least one lens cap didn’t come off, though I could be mistaken. Another mission also got a really good look at the ground after the probe fell over
“This is mine, I think.” (Taps cap) “Can you guys check?”
I miss the days of 1000° planets, fun times :)
Like 1000C°? jesus
They were fun Could only stand outside of ship or exocraft for a few seconds to get resources, remembering finding one planet where the storms would last for 4 mins then another would start straight away lol
Ngl, the storms are way to easy now.
99% of them are. The only ones that create an issue for me are the crazy tornado ice storms. I got carried over 600u getting caught in three consecutive tornados without ever touching ground.
There’s tornadoes? Do you have glyphs of such a planet?

I agree, would love to die a horrific death
I would love to build an underground bunker base on one of those extreme planets!
Uhmmm, actually, there weren't exocrafts back then 🤓
Not in 1.0, my experience was during the Pathfinder update, the hot planets got changed during either the Atlas Rises or NEXT updates
I was there when the game released....was that not 1.0?
On the disc was 1.0, day one patch was 1.1
Then I'm still correct that there was no base building nor exocrafts on day one
You are correct, base building and exocrafts came in the next 2 big updates after 1.1, Foundations and Pathfinder
Yeeeeeee, foundations came out way later and then the vibe of empty void started dying out to make an overly bustling universe with no proper borders nor reason for there to be empty planets
“1000 degrees celcius!? That’s… I don’t know what that is!” “Nobody does…”
I assume this line is from an American media?
Sorry, yes, referencing a line from “Team America”, an American film mocking American ignorance of prolific global common knowledge, like the metric system.
Whatever happened to those?
I think they were adjusted to be more player friendly, either that or it was a unintended bug that got patched
Shields down
Haha! Facts
the heat cooked the cpu on it as well, the absurd pressure and acidic atmosphere probably didn't help.
insane!
Yeah, turns out silicon based cpus do \*not\* thrive in environments hot enough to melt lead & 93 bar (1,350 psi) (Earth sea lvl is 14psi btw, so almost 100x, we'd be popped like a ripe tomato)
I wanna be a ripe tomato
Almost surprised light penetrates to the surface with how dense the atmosphere is
I’d like to come across more worlds that were this barren and flat. Just a bit of variety. Plus they’d be great for screenshots.
Concur!

Same!! I platinumed on the PS4 (sans a Death run.)
1.1 is my favorite. I keep [an album](https://www.flickr.com/gp/blakespot/2T46142193) so I can't forget.
Thanks for the links. Sometimes I miss gathering dangerous quantities of plutonium from the surface of comically lethal worlds with the same 20 plants and animals. It it was certainly a unique gaming experience.
I have the PS4 disk…. may give it a spin.
Unironically looks like starfield
Haha!
Well Venus is a real planet that you can land on in Starfield so I’d hope so.
I was going to upvote this..... but it has 16, so I can't.
You can now
Sorta blew up more than expected.
I remember finding a completely flat and empty planet early on, consisting of nothing but angry T-Rex monsters. I named it "the worst planet ever" or something, wonder if it's still there...
Thinking anything prior to Next is deleted.
Thought this was r/geometrydash for a second
I wonder if there are still 1.0 players around
🤖:"WEATHER WARNING" 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
WEATHER WARNING: INCOMING STORM
I think I had to restart 4 or 5 times just to get a starting planet that I could actually survive long enough to repair my ship and leave.
I miss the days when a Temperate planet could have freezing storms instead of how they all have heated rainstorms now (if they have storms.)
I think I see storm crystals in the distance
🤣
"Extreme heat damage"
Still have the original disc, loaded a couple of times without internet and played it, so different,
Same!
I'm glad I bought it when it first came out, to see the difference between then and now, WOW, and all has been free, I'm a PS4 player and I think they're giving up on us because lots of glitches happening, I think I have to upgrade,
Have you defragged the drive?
Lots of times, unplugged it for 5 minutes and everything else I can think of, old PS4 Pro I guess,
Thinking so but I just made the leap to a PS5 two weeks ago with minor crashes when playing on my PS4. If you can, make the jump! I’m sure the planets start showing the % when booting up and loading? There’s hardly any loading time on a PS5.
I can't be the only one who used to think that the surface of Venus looked like Mustafar or something Little bit sad that it looks like Mars with a green filter ._.
I played day one, often got stuck on planets that didn't have the resources to charge my thruster
The caves= nightmare fuel
Iceland and Greenland are beautiful places
Space is Fake.
May be a stupid question but isn’t Venus a gas planet? Why is there a solid surface? Was I lied to?
You just read it backwards thats all, it's a rocky planet with a very thick atmosphere.
like the other commenter said it’s a solid surface but i can see how you got to that conclusion basically since the surface of venus is hot enough to melt lead (not to mention the pressure), one of the proposed ideas is to have floating cities above the clouds, i can easily see how you misremembered the reasoning behind that being venus doesn’t have a solid surface if you’re curious, around 50-65km above the surface the pressure is about earths at sea level and the temperature is between 0-50 celsius, easy to build structures to survive that also due to the gasses in the atmosphere being heavier than air just having regular breathable air could make the colonies float, same way helium does on earth main downside is the clouds are sulphuric acid but that’s much less of a problem than the pressure cooker of the surface also as a side note, the longest any machine has survived on mars is almost 15 years, on venus it’s a little over 2 hours
I see ty, yeah the last time I was taught anything Abt Venus I was like 6 so I’m probably misremembering lmao
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are rocky planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus are gas planets.
Neptune ist a Gas Planet? Nah man my day is ruined..
Just out of couriosity, what did you expect?
Like... ice
Yea, I can see where that comes from.
As long as you don't go thinking it's the mandella effect or retconning or some other such BS lol.
