Black Pyramid POI

Description
It seems you aren’t the only one trying to survive on this planet. It is unknown where the Black Pyramid came from or why such an advanced race left it abandoned and in such a hurry. The defense systems have been activated and native creatures have made it their home, but the Black Pyramid doesn’t see them as a threat. The only threat to the Pyramid is you.

My first attempt at a workshop project. The Workshop version of the Black Pyramid is stripped down so I could Publish it, but if you want the full version complete with turrets, enemies, loot and a better experience you can download it here: https://uploadfiles.io/v6grpa4o

The following pertains only to the full version:

For walkthrough or just to check out full POI:

Part 2: https://youtu.be/eJjGUd6oIAU

Features
The Black Pyramid is a massive POI that is designed to give survivalists a dungeon-like feel. I also didn’t want the POI to be over quickly, so I made sure to add enough content to make it a lengthy challenge. I tried to keep it as inexpensive as I could but with the size of it, it was difficult.
Unlock Level: 15
Size Class: 37
137 Turrets
133 Enemy Spawners - Most Enemy Spawn Plates are not static. Decks 5 to 8 have hidden spawn plates so watch your back
171 Cargo Boxes, pallets and lockers
76 Loot Containers (can you find them all?)
Oxygenated, Gravity Generator, Land Claim Device, and Offline Protection included

What to Expect
You will go through 2 -5 sets of weapons and armor and thousands of rounds of ammo. I recommend bringing a vehicle to carry your stuff because you will need a lot of supplies as well as somewhere to put all the loot.

Medium Difficulty – Heavy Armor – Epic Plasma Cannon
Approximate Time to Complete: 3+ hours to explore, find and loot everything
Fairly easy, Blew up a lot of important sensors as well as myself many times

Medium Difficulty – Medium Armor – Epic Rifles – Epic Plasma Cannon
Approximate Time to Complete: 4+ hours to explore, find and loot everything
A good balance of challenge and fun

Medium Difficulty – Medium Armor – T2 Rifles – T2 Plasma Cannon
Approximate Time to Complete: 4+ hours to explore, find and loot everything
Very Hard - Had to keep moving quickly because it was easy for enemies to respawn and overwhelm you

Medium Difficulty – Light Armor – T1 Rifles – T1 Rocket Launcher
Approximate Time to Complete: 5+ hours to explore, find and loot everything
Extremely Difficult – Stealth and wits were my friends, easily got overwhelmed

Side Notes
-The Pyramid is not designed to be cracked open by a vessel, it was designed for boots-on-the-ground exploration
-Engineering decks can create lag spikes due to its size, open area, moving parts and enemies moving around
-Read all signs as some contain important information
-Most doors are unlocked to NPCs so they have the freedom to roam the Pyramid once activated
-Rocket Launchers and Plasma Cannons are necessary at times, but take it easy, you could end up cutting yourself off from a new area from collapsed walls, ramps, or stairs
-Could be used as player base with major modifications although expensive to keep running
-BEWARE the Hangar and Engineering
-Stay out of the ventilation system, there is nothing up there for you
-Let me know what you thought of it: Was it too easy/just right/too hard, what you liked/disliked, etc etc.

This is one of the best bases I've seen! Found the Black Pyramid on some Rocky Desert planet. It took me a couple days to finally capture it without destroying doors (no cheating). It was very challenging. Cyborgs were most brutal but overall it was very good and very well designed! I had a lot of fun! Good job! Thumb Ups!!

Just spent several hours trying to solo this monster. I'm going to leave it alone now. 10/10

Man, I love this POI - Very challenging! This must have taken forever to build - it is massive! I've added it to my scenario too. Thank you!

I'm happy to hear you liked it, don't give up, after you are able to freely loot the place, it's worth it!

This is the hardest AND coolest POI ever! I have died at least 20 times but It Shall Not Defeat Me!

It was a bit laggy at parts. The drop down monsters were fun. We became hyper paranoid about sensors, we start walking slow with sniper rifles scoped looking for them. Afterward I though to use my drone to peek around corners before moving.

The open areas with retreating turrets, I'm guessing that's the engineering area you warned about. Its hard to focus on taking out spawners and roamers while turrets are popping in/out. On the negative side, the lag from all the hangar turrets was harsh and made things a bit harder.

Thank you both for the kind words and I'm so glad to hear that you had a good time and it wasn't a walk in the park. What gave you the most trouble?

As one of the three people involved in the "raid" (more like butt-whooping) I can say this POI proves Empyrion is ready as a full game. I screamed, I cried, I whined like a fat kid who dropped his ice cream! EXCELLENT!

Ok. 3 of us found this base in Ravien's Project Eden. I can't begin to describe the emotions we had trying to navigate this base. The struggle trying to retrieve a backpack is real. The menagerie was brilliant. We were in for at least 2-3 hours, it was past midnight so after multiple deaths we decided we needed to retreat for another day. In all the hours spent playing this game, I've never been stymied by a POI as bad as we were in this one. WELL DONE.
