|AnswerText=There do happen to be Augmenters... or at least small pieces of metal within both the Golems and the plant monsters. Not every Golem remnant will have one, though given their bodily composition, it's possible that anything that had been there has since fallen out, to be irretrievably lost in the general filth of the place (or simply broken and/or consumed by something else). They are very small things.<br><br>The airflow situation isn't great. Characters might find remnants of collapsed ventilation shafts that are clogged more with vegetation than air. Some of the broken, ruined machines might have had something to do with filtration but they're doing nothing now. The plants themselves seem to be the source of most of the 'breathable' air down there. The two entrances are the only sources of fresh air the tunnels have seen in some time.<br><br>The ground is also concrete, but there's layers (and layers) of decaying plant matter, dirt, grime, bone, insect slurry, etc., on top of it. It ranges from being a few inches thick to over a foot in depth. It also ranges from 'uncomfortably squishy' to 'uneasily firm'.<br><br>Terra Augmented can manipulate the plants! It's not always successful, or easy to maintain control- as there's other consciousnesses involved, and they will notice what they're up to and not appreciate it. It would be like a Terra trying to control the growths of another Terra. Possible, but a constant battle if there's resistance. Some of the smaller, more distant growths would be easier to 'steal' control of.<br><br>The lunar eclipse would be visible! It is safe to assume that RL lunar phenomena like eclipses will also occur in game for convenience. (If there is ever any deviation with this- which would likely be in the addition of some sort of unusual phenomena- it would be noted specifically in event information.)
