The raws put adamantine at a density of 200 kg/m^3. Estimating 27 (3x3) cubic meters per tile, and 83000 tiles of adamantine, that spire weighs 448200 metric tons, or 494055 short tons. I never realized just how light adamantine actually was. the Empire State Building weighs 360000 tons. And it's less than a tenth of the height of this thing.

It's also a fair bit wider, although not solidly filled in. :P

Woot... That means, this stuff SWIMS on water!? With that amount of it, you could build atlantis and make it float on its own.

With that density, it probably has the consistency of styrofoam. I wonder how the blades work.

I posted this image elsewhere on the forum but...

It has an adamantine cage containing this:<pic>

Note the person standing next to it.

Is...is that concept art of the Boost Ball Guardian on Steroids?  :o

Oh god, don't open it!  You'll release Dark Torvus Bog, the worst zone in all of the Metroid Prime series, onto your dwarf's world!

No. Concept art of the Emperor Ing's final form. Which is probably worse.

Missing underscore, but still pretty awesome.

edit: when did Toady_One not have that underscore...
