Itโs a โThe Hitchhikerโs Guide to the Galaxyโ reference. They build a supercomputer that spends 7.5 million years pondering the โAnswer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everythingโ, and it comes up with โ42โ. So they build another super computer, planet Earth, to figure out the actual โUltimate Questionโ it answered, but it gets destroyed 5 minutes before computing the answer.
Also. the Staff of Life you get from Steve in Spore has 42 uses (same reference)

It should be mandatory reading for everyone to read the Hitchikerโs Guide to the Galaxy. Itโs also the reason why the censor word on the forums is belgium.

Perhaps we should include more HGTTG motifs as easter eggs?
Would they be easy enough to fit into the easter egg category?
So we should have an entire series of Easter Eggs based off each book in the HGTTG series?

I donโt think we should dedicate to many eggs to just one book

Something people never bring up in the what not to include thread how negative language should be represented. I think using the term berkelium for in game censorship could be used.

How about an organic ocean from โSolarisโ as a cosmic anomaly that can be studied?

considering how trippy (pun half intended) fungus are, i donโt think it would be too absurd.
An pretty neat idea would be to you being able to find Pangonia (the planet we started before we got random name generation) and on it were being able to find the concept art creatures

That could work, though it is to be remembered that disturbance for instance would most likely not be present on such a planet.
Also maybe a banana-planet?
