I found space ponies, and I didn't even notice... what did they do?

So... yea... I got the space ponies achivement, yay. From what I Read you just need to keep searching planets until you find it... about time too cause it took 13 wins to find it.

But I didn't even notice I found it when I did... what does it do? that is, does it give a planetary bonus like penal colony/roiders outpost/tundra farms/etc... does it even list it on the planet it was found on? cause I KNOW I did not have it two wins ago (I have a checklist that I update as I go along, and each combat I set at least one achivement as a goal to achive.) but I checked the saves and I can't see it listed on any of my worlds...

maybe it was from that one online game I played, I could have found it then and not noticed, and I don't have a save from that.

ok, but what would it do IN GAME when I find it?Can I find it a second time now that I already got the achievement?Basically, I wanna know if it gives a planetary boost like other finds do.

They don't do anything. You just find that the planet is inhabited with pink space ponies. Apparently, it was a Beta joke in which the Beta testers said they wanted space ponies and glass windows in the game or something like that, and they got their wish fulfilled much to the confusion of players who joined after the release.

Too bad all the Beta threads have been eliminated after the release.

Not gone, the link to it was just removed from the listings. Though it wouldn't really help anyway, as the joke originated on IRC.

Look if you have to ask about the Pink Space Ponies then you will never really understand the PSP.

Just know: they are here to make the universe a better place and spread the power of the rainbow!

First rule of Space Ponies is, you do not talk about Space Ponies.
Second rule of Space Ponies is, you DO NOT talk about Space Ponies.

Is that perhaps adjusted from one version to another? Did they do something in v1.0 but not in v1.02? what might the answer be in v1.03 next week?

yes it does matter, if it didn't matter i wouldn't have asked. Curiosity killed the cat, and if my curiosity isn't sated I will go sacrifice a few.

It wasn't curiosity that killed the cat, it was indecision. It couldn't decide whether to go right or left... it just froze. It was no match for the 72 Buick skylark...

Just know: they are here to make the universe a better place and spread the power of the rainbow!

Are the Care Bears aware they have been replaced ??? Their union rep is going to be ticked...
