Digheap

Digheap is a fictional concept that appears in the video game "Outer Wilds". Within the game's narrative, it is described as a vast, subterranean cavern system on the planet Timber Hearth. The lore suggests that the Nomai, an ancient alien race, excavated these extensive tunnels over many generations. The purpose of Digheap is not explicitly stated but is implied to be related to their research and construction efforts on Timber Hearth.

Players explore parts of Digheap during their playthrough of "Outer Wilds". These sections are characterized by their complex network of passages, abandoned Nomai structures, and evidence of their advanced technology. The environment within Digheap is often dark and maze-like, presenting navigational challenges. The existence of Digheap highlights the scale of the Nomai's presence and their significant impact on the solar system's planets. It serves as a key location for uncovering fragments of Nomai history and understanding their motivations. The term "Digheap" itself evokes a sense of immense excavation and labor, fitting for the Nomai's industrious nature.
