Megastrutures
Megastructures are quite rare, and players will need to explore extensively to find them. Once they do, however, they will be rewarded with a unique and immersive experience. These structures are massive, often towering high above the surrounding terrain. They are made up of various materials and can take on many different forms, from Giant wall segments to castles.While exploring these megastructures, players will need to be cautious. They are often booby-trapped with deadly traps and pitfalls, and dangerous creatures may lurk in the shadows. However, the rewards for braving these dangers are worth it. Megastructures contain valuable loot, including rare and powerful items that can give players a significant advantage in the game.Beyond their gameplay value, megastructures also contain lore and backstory that adds depth to the Vintage Story universe. Most megastructures have a unique story to tell, and players will need to piece together clues to uncover their secrets.
Spawn Conditions
Megastructures generally spawn in flat areas and they have a minimum spawn distance of 5000 blocks.

Lore
The lore is about a prosperous fishing town that was destroyed by a mysterious creature that descended upon it one night, leaving only a ruined wall segment still standing. The surviving townspeople were in shock, and the town became a place of legends, with stories of the creature passing down from generation to generation. The ruined wall segment stands as a silent witness to the horror that befell the town, and a warning to those who dare to tempt fate.

RL Lore:
The foundations of Visingsborg Castle date from 1560s. It was square formed with a moat four towers. The Brahe Family lived in Visingsborg Castle during the 16th and 17th centuries. During their time was one of the most impressive buildings in Sweden. Sculptures and paintings embellished the walls and a large number of books filled the library. The castle also had an armoury that equipped up to 800 soldiers. Outside the walls were large orchards and gardens.The Visingsborg Castle was empty for several years after the death of Count Per Brahe the Younger in 1680. Later, in the early 18th century, it was used as a camp for Russian war prisoners. It is said that it was these prisoners who finally burnt down the castle in 1718. What is left today is only the left wing.

Wolfstone Castle, initially a square tower overseeing valuable mines, evolved over centuries into a full-fledged castle under different generations of barons. Named after the local pack of revered wolves, it thrived as the mines prospered. The last lord was a scholarly warrior who cared deeply for his people but couldn't prevent the castle's decline due to dwindling mines and economic struggles.Today, Wolfstone Castle stands in partial ruin, serving as a reminder of its rich history. Traders have taken shelter in some remaining buildings, working to preserve what's left.
