The Megastructure is a large pyramid initially of mysterious origin and is the primary feature of the island that the expedition visits on the excursion from New Jerusalem.

Next to the pyramid is a bit of a plateau, featuring a suitable place for the VTOL to land and take off from, and the first station of a rapid transit system that the player can use to travel to various locations. Upon first reaching the base camp area, the player is required to discover and explore a lab in order to activate the rapid transit system.

The base camp area also features a golden gate to the southeast, the Astronomical Temple to the southeast, and a Lost Lab to the south.

The Megastructure is composed of four areas, one for each cardinal point. Each face of the pyramid features a door that can be opened by power three giant Receivers using large laser beams found in towers scattered on the island.

Lost Lab

South of the VTOL landing area there is the first Lost Lab players will visit. Inside you can see a test unit of a RGB converter mounted on a table and the terminal HAR-1.
