[guns-blazing]

my roman empire is the pinkstone

like this is SUCH a strange thing to say and makes you think the gems'll be lore relevant. and sure the swelterstones + glacialstones are small lore in the background the whole game, and the aromaticstones are just a gag i appreciate, you see them in waterfall and the g. cactus cave and maybe somewhere else i dont feel like checking, thats it and thats fine, haha they smell like apples. but the pinkstones? nothing. this weird text is just never brought up again.

we can say with certainty that the pink gems that appear in waterfall are pinkstones. the pink gems here look identical to those we can confirm are glacial/swelterstones except they're pink, so yeah pinkstones are a waterfall thing. but that isn't GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

maybe these are pinkstones. yes it looks different than the ones poking out of the walls but 1. those are embedded in the walls, these aren't, and 2. big swelterstone. checkmate.

so maybe the pinkstones' historical use just isnt mentioned in Gemstone Fever, or maybe the monsters used all kinds of gemstones to navigate. i guess maybe glowing isn't a notable thing for the pinkstones? but still, what about that mysterious lack of trait.

oh wait, you know what else is pink?

the entire steamworks

"oh but cerulean," you say, "not everything pink is the pinkstone. and that isnt even rocks thats pepto bismol acid antifreeze" and to that i say look

there is a pink gem floating in the steamworks lake. i didnt even knkow this when i started writing but this makes it seem so obvious. there it is, the pink stone.

so! i think the pinkstones are in the steamworks. then what do pinkstones do, exactly?

i dont.........know???

they dont make energy, steamworks does steam and it does flowers for its energy. steamworks did more, they produced and shipped and engineered and stuff but we don't see the pinkness in the context of any one thing there!! it's just lighting everywhere!!!

regardless i think the steamworks could have found a use for them and didnt tell anyone... like they didnt tell people about the robotics project after it failed, maybe they didnt tell anyone they found a use for the pinkstones either, and that's why the book doesn't know but they were still used in the steamworks.

but. that pinkstone in the lake in the last photo? that's the only crystal visible in the steamworks. theres 4 in this room here,

which is cool and great and also an unused room! in the game itself there's just that one crystal!

there is a goodanm ??gemstone extraction machine?? in the steamworks and every stone except pinkstones there. like maybe thats cause they got them from somewehere with no pinkstones. but . how are there no other pinkstones in the steamworks im losing my mind what else could they be

am i being baited? do the devs hate me specifically? is this why axis gives EXP? will i ever get a life? am i... wrong? no... i could never be wrong. pinkstones are connected to the steamworks. it's just vague.
