What are the smallest and largest props that you've worked on?

TL;DRThe smallest props are things like ship subcomponents, tiny baggies, medication bottles and pens; the largest are an outpost weather station (the tallest prop), shipping containers and a gigantic mining machine.

Smallest, I guess, would be...

Probably a Dragonfly component, maybe? The subcomponents for them are pretty dinky.

Yeah, the subcomponents. On one of the Star Marine maps, we had some little baggies that were tiny. Some little medication bottles and things like that. They were pretty small. Stuff like pens. Pens are pretty small. So they're the really small scale, and then large scale...

Who's got the record now? Because Joel had the record for the comms tower, which was probably about 15 meters tall. No, I think David's... Yeah, he took it from Joel. Joel had the record for tallest prop.

It's been dethroned by David, which is an exterior outpost asset. It's a weather station that sits in the surrounding area. And then we've got shipping containers that go up to, I think it's 10 meters by two and a half by two and a half. We do work in metric all the time, by the way. Sorry. I think that's probably the biggest we've gone so far. Oh, actually, we have got that mining machine.

The gigantic mining thing.

Yeah, that's pretty exciting.
