Lunar Distress - A Moon Map

Description
*This map was created for the eight mapmaker contest*

LUNAR DISTRESS

Ever wanted to explore a massive open-world -type map all based on the moon? Whatever your answer might be, now you can! This is by far my largest project and it took pretty much a month to finish completely. Even now it does have some bugs (listed below) and other quirks which one must just deal with. Anyways, I hope this map will give you just what you expect, a sense of exploration and experiences of discovery. All this brought to you by the unexpected Spurolan Kingi!

Includes:
- A very vast world (estimated to be around 342 120 square meters or 34,2 hectares or about 64 American football fields)
- 6 large individual dungeons
- A large moon research base
- Actually a lot of written lore for anyone curious to learn what happened before you arrive :)
- Hidden weapons and easter eggs
- Epic battle music and relaxing and calm moonwalking music (all space themed, references below)

BUGS (because of course):
- Beware if you pick the optional [spectre] -class... you might accidentally clip through the wall
- The map is huge and while I tried to keep the lag to a minimal, it is still rough, I am sorry ;-;
- The map will take a while to load (while testing it took me 1,5 minutes...) please be patient
- Not all song reset buttons work...
- The aliens are naked
- The couch is very difficult to sit on
- aaand probably a lot more but I hope you can enjoy the map anyways :P

Music (more info on the actual music pack related to this):
- Surface: Spatial Lullaby
- Surface 2: Deep Space Ambience
- Zombie dungeon (upper floors): The Heist of Area 51
- Zombie dungeon (lower floors): Fallen Haven
- Mine dungeon: Bazaar of the Damned
- Torch dungeon: Fear in the Eye of the Tyrant
- Plant dungeon: Girls with Guns
- Poison dungeon: Silent Fortress
- Ice dungeon: L'era Delle Ceneri
- Aliens: Revenge of the Black Saucers
- End: Space Oddity (instrumental)

Textures:
The official alien and astronaut packs
Male and female packs, all credits to them

P.S:
This has been my first mapmaker contest project and it has been a challenge but also a joy. I am known for making very different kinds of maps to this, so it truly was out of my comfort zone. Either way I am proud to be a part of this community and have these possibilities to create together. And yes, new HM map coming soon...ish

Took me a while to find all the buttons and get that secret ending. I also found tons of easter eggs will exploring, It wasnt till I saw these comments closer that I realized exactly what I had to do.

I'll have to give it one more go. Even if it's nothing big I'd still like to be able to get it.

The secret room is past some oddly placed rocks in the wall. Otherwise none of the dungeons use rocks like that, but in that one the large rocks hide the passage way. In general the hidden room is in the middle of the dungeon. It's purposefully hidden, so I wouldn't call myself stupid for not finding it. Also, it's much too much work to go through it again to get the secret ending for it to be worth it to be honest. It's nothing big, you'd probably be the first one to get it though :P

Alright, I pressed all three buttons and went to the plant dungeon, but I still can't find the secret room I feel like I searched the whole dungeon pretty thoroughly and didn't see it. How secret exactly is this secret room? Is it really hard to find or am I just stupid?

Oh okay, I had found all the buttons then, but I wasn't able to figure out where to go after that, I'll have to give it another shot. The map definitely does have flaws, but it's still a lot of fun to play, my major gripe with the map is the amount of walking I have to do to get places. But other than that I really enjoyed the map.

The 'plant dungeon' is the one located to the north east of the map if the base with the mines is in the north. There is a hidden room inside you can access by pressing three buttons found in all the other similar underground dungeons in NW, SW and SE. The buttons are always found inside alien chests, close to alien skeletons, with red keys inside. Look, the map's flawed, but I greatly appriciate you giving it a go!

What is the plant dungeon and how many buttons are there?

A blue card exists. It's located in the "plant dungeon" but requires buttons to be pressed around the map
