Liminal Recondite Device



The zebra ball is a mysterious Discovery found in deep caves and tunnels, usually among other objects. According to developers, the object was originally used for testing physics (as it is round) and light (it emits a soft glow), but it was accidentally left in the game. It can be lifted and attached to two slots like other objects, but it cannot be researched.

Description
The zebra balls has strips of black and white curled around the sphere. It is perfectly round and can be used to ensure that land is flat. It also emits light which means it can be used as an alternate light source.

Impact
As a mysterious object, it affected most of the community which decided to (jokingly) "worship" the Zebra Ball as a deity, see it as a blessing, and build pyramids for it.

Other Balls
Patch 119 introduced two other balls, which have a chance of replacing Zebra balls found in older patches. The first contains a chess or checkerboard pattern, and has been named the Chess Ball, and the other is a white ball with black and white spots, which poll results have decided will be called the Dalmatian ball.
