All Aboard the Steam Snail

It turns out that the Steampunk Tribune and Dr. Rafael Fabre visited this site somewhere around the same time I did. "This site" is the quirky Steam Snail Headquarters of Mr. GianLuca Araghi.

The platform is apparently kept aloft by a large balloon...

Nearby is The Pipe, also owned by Mr. Araghi and floating high above the mainland.

Steampy the robot is on board the Snail to greet visitors, but he's remarkably taciturn.

I'd like to visit there but the links land to abandonned land for sale :(

Alas, Mr. Ceriano, you are indeed correct. I'm used to builds disappearing on me, but that was quick!

(As an aside, I've never seen so much debris littering the atmosphere as in the Herald sim.)
