Nope, it's just a deathpit, but even without being playable, it needed a propper scale without screwing the whole proportion of the map.

Barring any scientific reasoning behind the telescope. It's waaaay too small and I think breaks the proportion of the map as-is. Those types of telescopes are fucking huge, so you can get away with a really big dish if you need it.

Don't know if you're looking for feedback, but you could consider breaking up that swath of dark wood with some lighter toned trim. There's a nice white wood available, the reddish ones might work too.

That roof is pretty nuts, in a good way. I wouldn't have bothered with that much brush work but if you want to drive yourself crazy more power to you. :O

Isn't there a model for those tiles though?

I guess I wouldn't know since I tend to make roofs out of brushes.

But I suppose it being a prop makes more sense.

Team name actually, but the same thing applies. There's only 3 of us.
Ah. So you're like the Ben Folds Five of model making.

You know, I don't want to be a dick, but I don't care about how much distance I have to put that fucking dish in my map to make it looks real.

I had enough issues to make the whole proportion right, and if all the astronomers don't want to play that map merely because that dish is too close from the mountain, or there would be too much wind for that structure, then i'm ok with that. I get your point the first time, don't feel the urge to tell something like that anymore.

Also I remember why I leaved that community now.

I'm leaving feedback based on my knowledge of the subject. If someone made a house that doesn't look like it would be structurally sound for the environment it's in, people would say something. If someone made anything that truely defied the laws of physics, people would call them out on it. It's standard practice. This is one of those instances.

I did that with your dish because it looks stupid. Scientific reasons or not, the dish is way too small and really looks silly in the map. The proportions of it actually detract from the aesthetics, in my opinion. If you took the time to make the pit that it is in, you surely could have taken the time to make the dish that entire size of the pit.

Yea, this community sometimes leaves crappy feedback, can be overly aggressive towards certain things and generally be dicks about said thing, but how much it bugs you is up to YOU, not us. If you can't handle it, it's your own fault, not the communities.


... I'm sorry for trying to provide some sort of knowledge on the subject. If you wanted to add a radio telescope to the map, you should've done better research on them.
