Who can find and climb the highest mountain in Xsyon?

Below is a screenshot of me on Mount Tallac at sunset looking northeast. On the left is Lake Tahoe and on the right is Fallen Leaf Lake. The height is 740 feet as evidenced by the data in the screenie.

EDIT: I don't think this is really Mount Tallac but it is on the border with Xsyon's Tallac region. So I will name it the Fallen Leaf Overlook instead.

LOL that is fucking epic, i think it would be really cool having people name the mountains and rivers and stuff for those who discover them etc especially if it catches on.


"i spy the river of h0x0rz over there!"

"Yes, and the mighty tall mountain of 31337"


oh man how crazy would it be if all of the landmarks were named by gamers.

there might be a limit to how high we can terraform. From one post from a guy who tried to terraform the ground as high as he could go, he got it to about 60 feet. I don't know if he stopped because of boredom or because he wanted to jump off, either way i'd imagine they would have some sort of limits on how high you can terraform.

I will join you tonight. Last night I practicing teraforming a mountain. I thought perhaps I could make a cave under the rock. Didn't exactly work. I was able to dig into the side of a mountain though. I'll try scaling one tonight to see how high I can get.

For some reason my screenshots are not working... says 'screenshot taken' but not in the Xsyon/screenshot folder and can't find them anywhere else...

Anyway... 1156 feet is my record so far... I'll try to PSP it soon.

This is a well-known issue on some platforms. It has been "mostly solved", but it may still occasionally happen. I suggest you use the search function for "screenshot" or "folder". There are plenty of helpful posts.

I think the issue happened to people that had an older installation of Xsyon on their system which put its files in a different spot. The newer installs still use that location even if you uninstall the old version because the registry keys remain that tell it where to look (typical installer...leaving behind registry fluff).

I think the folder was C:\\ProgramData\\Xsyon
