Entity #005 - The Pillar

Description

Entity #005 is depicted as a long, thin needle-like column, which seems to extend infinitely beyond the standard geometry, into what is called the floating point zone, a theoretical space outside the coordinate system of the game. It is solidly embedded in the landscape, usually in grass or flat ground, and no tool or script has ever successfully been able to reach it or remove it.

The entity is visible only between a narrow time window of 12:00 midnight and 3:00 am (based on the system clock of the machine running the game). Outside this time window, the pillar vanishes without a trace, leaving nothing in the editor or in the explorer. Any attempt to teleport or noclip to its assumed coordinates during the day results in finding only empty space.

Some players who encountered and got close to Entity #005 have reported an extreme ambient silence as they approached it, along with strange visual distortions, like the transformation of the UI, the etheric effect of the pits, and a short inversion of the local textures. Some records claim that for a brief moment after approaching it, the player loses gravity and falls without end, even when resetting their character.
