There's literally nothing there. The energy wave vaporises matter, so nothing can survive.
Also, to get into the crater, you'd need to climb down a 30-40+ metre sheer cliff, then walk the remaining distance to Santorini to reach the centre. Even if you had climbing gear to get down in the first place, you'd run out of resources long before you got there. I'll tweak the wording of the logs to make that more clear in vNext.
Yeah, it's probably basically a nuclear-explosion-crater (maybe minus the radiation?).
BUT, the author of this adventure (you), can decide that the explosion was so alien and powerful that it reacted with some kind of (alien?) material (like how sand turns to glass), and creates some new alien material or whatnot, that could be used for something, maybe it even has some kind of "loop-resistant" properties, or whatever.
Maybe that material is something similar to whatever that artifact was you touched that fused to the players body, and enabled the looping stuff to happen?
Maybe you can place that material on something, and it prevents that thing from resetting in the next (1x) loop?
Maybe it is a very volatile compound that reacts quickly with the thin atmosphere, but because the atmosphere is so thin, it reacts slowly enough that it can be captured and studied.
Be creative :)
Just so there is something to do if you happens to be nearby when it blows and you survive it.
“Hey, this energy wave vaporizes matter, so literally nothing’s here.”
“…ok, but what if instead of doing exactly what the author (you) just said it does, it did something completely different from what you want, because I said so? Just be more creative :)”
That’s kinda the vibe this is giving. Not sure if you’re aware of how entitled you sound right now. You’re asking for quite a bit. If you want to make something like this, make your own game instead of pestering a developer that, frankly, has better things to do than cater to your demands. They already said no. Move on.
