      Are these stalactites scientifically accurately placed?

      I guess I can go into a little bit of how we decide where to put things and how the world looks.

      A lot of it is actually research into geology.

      And a lot of times I actually consulted Google Maps or something like that to sort of see, OK, how does the world work pattern-wise?

      Because it's all about patterns in nature.

      Yeah, usually you would have stalagmites hanging directly over stalagmites and stuff, because stalagmites essentially help create stalagmites.

      It's always confusing which one's up and which one's down.

      But yeah, I used Google Earth just to sort of see.

      what nature is up to, honestly.

      And there was a study that was done here as well for how erosion works, for example, how water erodes rock and earth and such and how rivers are created and lakes and anything and how all these things are connected.

      And so there is thought that goes behind this creation, but at some point we also take some creative freedom where we take what is pretty over what makes sense because, well, we want this game to be pretty.

      Yeah, exactly.

      Stalactites hanging down.

      I see you, Jonas.

      I see you.

      I have that trick as well.

      But if you want the safe forward version, it's the stalactites as in top.

      If that helps anyone.

      There you go.

      Yep, Tim got it too.
