The lava level slowly lowers as time goes on. The geometric lattice of these formations exhibit clear fracture points and planes of weakness, which makes it susceptible to the collapse that the player can witness in action during the game.īrittle Hollow is orbited by the volcanic moon, Hollow's Lantern. The rest of the planet's interior is made up of a mixture of blue metallic and red crystalline rock formations. This leads to ice formations beneath the surface into which the Hanging City is built. The planet's two poles are topped with snow, and the north pole has flowing water. From the escape pod the player can follow a trail of precarious wooden bridges created to span the gaps between rocks, indicating that the enormous drop towards the planet's core existed millennia ago when the Nomai first entered the system.

Traversing the planet's precarious remains is a challenging task, but despite the likelihood that a player will slip and fall into the black hole, the fact that White Hole Station lies very close to the black hole's exit point means that the planet's long falls are less dangerous and more inconvenient.Įscape Pod 1 resides on the surface, its metal tempered by the heat of its descent to the planet. This collapse is precipitated by the balls of lava ejected from the planet's moon, which rain down steadily and crash into Brittle Hollow's surface. These pieces then emerge at the White Hole next to the White Hole Station.

Its dry, rocky surface is fractured and prone to collapse, and in each 22-minute cycle of game time, the player can observe as most of the planet's crust breaks away and falls into the black hole. Brittle Hollow is a highly unstable planet that formed naturally around the black hole at its center.
