Going to the edge in a boat and going to the spawn and finding items says the radius of the 2d/flat sphere is
~10307 meters,
or 10.307km.
That’s 6.4044729 miles
so we then calculate the area of the 2d floor space via
A = πr^2
Which gives 3.34×10^8 in square meters, that’s 334 million square meters, or square 334000 km.
That’s 207537.978 square miles!
But the skybox is a sphere!
So, assuming the smooth dirt is a perfect sphere (the game glitches when you fly really high, couldn’t get measurements), you would use
A = 4πr^2
Which radius being the 10307 meters, you find the area of this sphere is 1.33×10^9 cubic meters
But that’s not right because you have to divide it by two because smooth dirt is a half sphere.
That gives you 665000000 cubic meters, or 665000 cubic kilometers.
That’s 413211.843 cubic miles!
Smooth dirt is a truly gigantic map.
That’s the lesson of the day. Smooth dirt is giant.
This took a lot of math and work. PHEW am i tired
Extra fun facts:
Smooth dirt’s volume is equal to about 1/32 of the Boeing Everett Factory, the highest volume building in the world.
Smooth dirt’s volume is equal to 0.000275474562 plutos or about %0.027 of pluto, but that isn’t the surface, it’s the entire planet.
Smooth dirt’s 2d surface area is %1.9 of pluto’s surface area.
Smooth dirt’s volume is %19.6745562 of the asteroid Hebe’s volume.
John Malone holds 2.2 million acres of land, that means his land is equal to about 60 smooth dirts!
According to https://www.usda.gov/nass/PUBS/TODAYRPT/land0815.pdf, the price of an acre of farmland (Smooth Dirt would make a great farmland, it’s very green and plantless) is 3020 US Dollars (2646.22 Euros or 2338.08 British Pounds)
Smooth Dirt is 132824305.92 acres.
132824305.92 * 3020 is…
401,129,404,000 Dollars! (351,513,306,889.84 Euros or 310,519,747,052.76 British Pounds)
401.129 BILLION DOLLARS.
Assuming one unit is one dollar, it would cost 401 units to buy a smooth dirt
A smooth dirt is 10k units. That means smooth dirt is roughly %400,000 off, or exactly %401,129.404 percent off.
Pixeltail, get your pricing together! WHAT IS THIS ECONOMY!
Obviously, Smooth dirt should cost 401 billion units!
or… Using the coffee mug as a base, a cheap plain white coffee mug is like $1.29, and it costs 50 units ingame, so that means the conversion for units to dollars is Dollars * 38.7596899 = Units or Units / 38.7596899 = Dollars. (That mean’s people with one million units have $25,800 in equivalent dollars)
401,129,404,000 dollars * 38.7596899 = 15,547,651,300,000
That means that Smooth Dirt should cost
15.547613 QUADRILLION DOLLARS.
Have fun buying Smooth Dirt now (with USD)
