Satellite Imagery (the Earth Web Map)

The live web map at map.axolotl.pink, jokingly known as "satellite imagery", which let players spy on each other's builds.

Curiosity ASMP Earth tradition

The Earth server came with a live, Google-Maps-style web map at map.axolotl.pink. prop first shared the link on 25 June 2023 1, and the group quickly started calling it “satellite imagery.”

The joke worked because it was true: you could watch other people’s bases appear. “i see your setup on satellite imagery,” prop said on 10 July 2, and later “sattelite imagery shows some insane development” 3. It could also deliver bad news. In August, ProPlayerPlayz reported that the imagery showed “a big rectangle where your house and chicken farm used to be” 4.

The link kept being re-posted as newcomers arrived, including to RJ on 1 September 5. See also Earth Map Geography and BlueMap.
