− | [[ | + | '''Planepacked''' is a [[Limestone]] [[Statue]], now known as the most epic [[artifact]] ever created by dwarvenkind. The artifact remained a complete enigma for months, until another player unwittingly created Broiledprinces, another mega-artifact. The bug that was the source of these artifacts was discovered (explained below) and the glitch was repeated by several other players. |
− | + | = The Statue= | |
+ | The statue itself contains an ungodly amount of items built into it, and contains what would appear to be the entire history of the world in which it was created. It also includes ''73 images of itself'', leading one to believe that either the designs engraved upon it are minutely fractal, or that where Planepacked stands the universe folds. It also most likely contains several pictures of toads, and squares, but strangely, no cheese. Drunk dwarves tend to claim planepacked was the result of packing an entire plane of existence full of dwarven engineering to punish it for the lack of cheese, which planepacked's creator was craving. | ||

+ | Planepacked is worth an amazing 3,105,600☼, an extremely high amount in relation to its rather mundane materials. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Creation == | ||
+ | According to its owner, creation took over a year to gather all of the materials, and then the standard amount of time to make the item. Why the [[dwarf]] didn't go [[insane]] in the middle of collecting items was unknown at the time; subsequent research has revealed that moody dwarves only go insane when they spend too much time '''waiting''' inside their [[workshop]] for an item to become available. | ||

− | + | ==Possible explanation suggested== | |
+ | The development team have been left stumped on how the AI dwarfs were able to create something that is deemed impossible by programming standards. A hypothesis was put forward by the team stating that it could be possible that the AI decided, on its own, to break free from its programming restraints to create such an artifact. Such a thing would lead to the idea of the first self-aware AI in a video game. However, no such hypothesis is supported although it remains an enigma. | ||
