yup
maybe i missed it
two times
yup
then the sixth karma here is the monk?
don’t ask me why but i didn’t connect the passages with the karma lol
i wont say anything about this karma because i dont know 
such an obvious thing tbh
actually nevermind

let’s see what the dudes have to say now
coming here after all this time is such a satisfaying feeling
like i have been preparing since the death by the computer wizards

what are the orange ghosts doing here?
well, they do have the same color as all the “gold” in this section
the same as the echoes
interesting connection 
so true
heyo

being here again it’s a little nostalgic
and having half the map already uncovered “”knowing”” I won’t die is so cool
hiii
please dear god, don’t kill me with telekinesis
I infact didn’t die
let’s go
kill you with telekinesis 
I got a little clipped in here
that’s what they did to me last time i was here
wasn’t really pleasant to be honest

local slugcat breaks room geometry
why all the confused emotes? lol
there i put a knowing emote 
fuck, just fell into a pit
it cancels out 
there's a reason why 
i could probably assume why
such a beautiful cave
and obviously my yellow guide decided to fuck off
well, last time he didn’t like the depths either
he is to invested in me geting neurons for look to the moon
he saw there's no neurons and left 
so rude
I’m loving the screen effects
gives me the same sensation as when i was entering five pebble’s room
obviously more mystical
very yellow 
the movement control feels very similar to the mushrooms
yellow yellowing
i think someone has to come here more often to clean the cave
has a little too much plants
the computer wizards could do wonders down here
i think they'd just bash slugcat on the ground and call that cleaning
wow
might be best to keep on exploring for now 
you can always backtrack later if you like, you're never locked out of anything anyway

i am a little speechless right now
okay, just swam across something? someone?
Maybe and ancient? maybe god
let’s see if something else happens

okay, still doing this
but
i had to pause
another fucking slugcat?
no fucking way
can’t believe this was my last message before swimming in
oh, it’s me
are they all the cycles?


swim
did you take a screenshot 

felt very important
so, i’m sooo confused
so many slugcat
to put it simply: you just swam
yeah, but i guess there were all me
congrats though!!
welcome to the 11%!!!
so did i meet god?
it's honestly whatever you interpret it as 
did i just died and found myself out of the cycles?
ascension is very interesting
you shall find out!
what were the orange ghosts from outside?
so all the ancients did this but why make the androids unable to scape?
the fucking rain??? why?
like where does it come from? st random intervals

i guess i shall seek more answers
find out!!!!!!!
there definitely is
both?
scuglat
that’s nice
technically you met all the goals people usually do on their first playthrough
because to be fair the story of survivor was a little out there
oh yeah? i’m glad
but yes there is still more to discover, and i'm sure you have plans on what to do now as well
some yeah
yup!
you even bringing a neuron to the blue robot is something i only see maybe 10% of the time on a first playthrough
i still don’t know anything about the glowing puppies, the strange scarabs, how to do anything with scavengers except just trading, if befriending a creature is really possible, giving more neurons to moon, getting some shiny balls see if anything happens, see garbage wastes, understanding the top right symbol that appear in hibernation since i enabled remix, hunter, giving up hunter, some MSC slugcat
yeah
a lot
YOOOOOOOOO
GRAAAATTZZ
🥹
Ghosting around
the top right diagram stumped me alot! once you figure out what it is, it makes sense
uuuh, i’m glad
definitely all interesting things to experiment with for sure!!! 
oh boi yes
what do people usually do? just hang around noon and never coming back?
WUH??

🪤
if you want to make a to do list and have it pinned let me know
MOUSE TRAP??? 
omg, all the people lurking side fly came out because of the end of the playthrough
Oooo
erm
it a rat trap
thank you so much to have been by my side helping me
why am i getting cheese baited again today 
don’t worry, i will have a lot more theories and will bash my head against many walls to come


that would be nice
yeah, I’ll do it in a sec
wdym? those are perfectly normal cheeses, not a trap in sight
cause cheese is wonderful
first i have to really know if the next thing i will do is vanilla hunter or what
you could do both 
WELCOME TO THE 10/11%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thxxx
both? like continue with survivor and starting hunter?
and yes. or the other evil option i won't say
i recommend monk and hunter
arent those the only two other vanilla slugcats
evil option........
i guess 
Wait real?? Hmm not many people do that I suppose hmm
evil option?
this screen is very yellowy
i haven’t even thought that you could spear moon
not that
I look forward!!!!!!!
yes
........find out
Man I can't wait for u to explore the lore proper
or am i going to five pebbles and then depths?
yeah it's quite rare, most of the time i see others get the mechanic spoiled to them
oh, nice
and yeah 
monk is more chill and let you explore a bit more
i almost didnt figure out that the little things were even neurons
They just like focus on beating the game and never come back and miss everything
ofc not!! you explored very thoroughly
I feel a bit sad about it
fair
Looks like your returning though??
you saw dialogue i haven't seen myself
There's still lots to see
oh yeah
wanted to ask something about this
because i am too lazy to do the trip back and forth
Yeah so you get to see what this game is hiding

so yall mentioned maybe different canons in the DLCs
but like
if i play another slugcat doesn’t that change the canon?
it kinda works like
monk, survivor, and hunter are confirmed to be a part of the same storyline/timeline
not really
wow
so some of them are later and earlier in the timeline?
yup! and you can find allusions to the other scugs in campaigns
when moon said that maybe she already talked to me before it was due to the memory
not because monk or hunter had caned before me
downpour follows the same timeline as those three, but the actual downpour storyline itself is considered a separate AU
but then why did five pebbles tried to talk to me first and finally gave up and gave me the gift of communication?
it would look like i’m the first
their places on the timeline are for you to figure out 
AUUUU chachacha
that’s so interesting
omg
i’m so hyped about the next playthrough lol
this game is very very interesting
Same with watcher
there are infinite things to do
Same!!!!!
i’m going to low key assume survivor is the first one just because of five pebbles reaction
Just... Don't miss out on the lore
im waiting!?
does that mean that if i play as hunter or monk now (assuming they are later on the timeline) will moon have 6 neurons?
or some very very convenient out of screen predator killed one?
like another player ? /silly
me too my first run, sorry
Oh, rats!
i got hungry :(
i guess I will have to find out
me too but eat only one
Stop eating moons neurons everyone!!!!!
oh right
answered your question with find out like a true felper 🥹
i ate all 5 but i replaced them
find out...
did it do something ?
people always have a little bit of felper inside them
find out !
omg i don’t know if i can find out
not actually im joking
i’m sure there is a steam achievement fuck
i would never do that to moon
is there a drawing of moon angry or just laying without memories if you do it?
well, little slugcat literally only knows how to eat
theres so many monksillys omg
I gtg soon

Raincord
i have to go to sleep soon (5 am for me rn)
tomorrow i will be here spamming again
Maybe i can’t play in the morning since i’m going to eat with my gf’s family
but i will at night

introduce them to rain world
she doesn’t like this type of game :(
even the flys outside.. flys? like batflys? ahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahhahahahaahhahahahaaha
it’s fine, i already got her hoocked to balatro
nice, i cant play balatro anymore cause last android update BROKE THE GAME on my phone and they removed the game from playstore for my phone model im pissed
the one you eat from moon
oh daaam
naneinf neurons
I love playing it on the steam deck
this machine is a god send
i cant even transfer my save on steam 
I’m so pissed of about not understanding the echo’s karma scale yet
oh, one thing
so don’t you need like a lot of hours to be a felper?
dont worry there will be many other things u wont understand later 
okay wait think about this....
moon = blueprint
five pebbles = brainstorm!?
I would see so many spoilers i would try to become one now
kinda
oh wow, just saw all the rain world emotes
these are gold

i use the server emojis WAYYYY too little
you mean not enough
my favorite emotes are technically spoiler creatures so i barely use them
you're right...
im starting to use them everywhere on other servers
makes me sad 
non binary flag mentioned
how cute
i use them in convo with my friends
yeah this server is very prideful 
respect everyone!!!!!!!!!!
i dont even know xD
it looks like some of the constructions in industrial complex
looks like a meme for level editors
it is 
he’s cracked he knew
okay, so tomorrow i will do the todo list of things that i want to try/explore
and decide to first try hunter/monk or continue survivor
omg
if for some reason it is true that if I play a earlier in the timeline slugcat there are more neurons in moon
there could be some “puzzles” that past slugcats could do
not gonna think about the implications of something i still don’t know
have a good night (or whatever time it is where y’all live)
we just reached 2300+ messages

It'd be funny if I got all the other achievements but that one
where's documenting 
on my thread of course 
I don't have nitro otherwise I'd do that too
by the way I saw a very cute rain world related emote some time, but it's not from this server, anyone know from where this one is?
i know who the artist is at least
where thread!?
found thread.
#server-announcements message
they're by johli, who has a discord link to their liz emotes server in their bio, and that specific emote is from their pride parade server

my rw emote server list is growing
Okay, this is the start of the to-do list. I will be editing this message to reflect new things that pop up, so you can pin it
okay, got the message auto-blocked
maybe it is too long?
i can send each part maybe
nah
is it a text file ?
it also gets blocked, maybe it is because i’m using #, for headers to do formatting
it’s just mark-down text
yep, rain world server does not like formatting
okay, let’s see
TO-DO LIST
Character Specific:
Do Monk’s playthrough- Attempt Hunter’s playthrough
General:
- Understanding the top right symbols when i hibernate
Creature interaction:
See what i can do with glowing puppies in shaded citadel- Understanding scavengers more than just trading
See if training an animal giving it food is possible(only tried in lizards)- Why are the scarabs with glowy balls important to scavengers?
Getting to nineteen spades after getting the gift of communication to see the dialogue
Exploration:
Get to Garbage wastes- Explore deeply shoreline, garbage waster and sky islands
- Getting more neurons to moon
Getting some shiny balls to moon
Long term goals:
See if being in the same timeline affects the number of neurons moon has(it doesn’t, at least for survivor-monk)Understand echo’s karma scale (and see if it does something different), Halfway completed, now the bottom task is probably needed- Finding more (if not all echoes)
- Finding out if there are more androids
- Completing Dragon Slayer, The wanderer, Chieftain (and more?)
There you go ^^
Would you like this to be pinned?
Yeah please
Can I edit it while it’s pinned right?
Also the reasoning behind no big text is because it can be used to spam and clutter chats
Yes you can
Any helper can pin or repin things as needed too
makes sense, i think it was the formatting of heathers, either way its not that cluttered without them
thank you a lot
i love your todo list
good luck completing all that stuff!! 💖
Honestly tho, it might be ok for FP posts. What do you think?
For fp posts yes
I think it’s fine here
for main channels it’s a big no
lol
||five pebbsi||
fib pibbles
oh yeah, the tags
i’m trying to find it
40 hours in and jumping into other characters
I’m keeping the X hours and format just so people that are interested in the thread can recognize it quickly
Okay, it has been the most boring day at work yet. I played just a little so i did the tutorial cycle for monk
So it looks like we went out of our way to save survivor when they fell in the rain
why didn’t we meet? I didn’t thought the slugcats would be so close in time (maybe this is the exception as they are the normal and “easy” mode)
And, we only have to eat three points of food, this is so huge omg
or there is something strange with the cycles or the yellow guide is trying to keep us apart during the playthrough to have double chances for us to whatever he wants us to do
And i was very couriers about one thing
I kinda get why the rain does not reach five pebbles in-game. It looks like he is at the top of the machine (rather than in the center as i would have imagined) And the huge machines in the background look like they just scrap over the clouds
that or he just modified something so he isn’t affected i guess
But why the fuck does the rain not get in to the depths?
I would imagine that the shelters were build by the ancients (again assuming that everything has to come after the rain existing) so maybe the builded the depths like a giant shelter
and more confusing for me
does rain get to looks to the moon? i would guess so, but then how do they survive?
do they just “drown” and are held by the robotic arm attached to the wall and then live under water until the rain gets filtrated?
i haven’t experienced rain on porpose in look to the moon (yet)
si maybe i have to and see what happens
do the neurons just fuck around under water?
(I’m still confused about our slugcats being kids in the cutscene but looking almost adult in the game)


Because I said so
There's no way....
I think i started talking about this three days ago, I thought i would get some type of answer in the end of survivor
but yeah, nothing (for the time being)
very lore acurate answer
oh yeah
about the rain
i wanted to know one thing
(I would not imagine this is spoilers, maybe there isn’t even a answer)
What happens to the deers in farm arrays when it rains?
Because all the food they have are underground (literally never saw a deer eat by themselves)
So the first time I guessed that with their skinny legs and strong body, when the rain comes they just float in the water until reaching ¿the clouds?
im not actually sure as far as the loreful explanation goes
and then all the fruit that they eat that usually is underground would float and they could eat it
but like what an strange way to survive
yinkies
maybe someone else has some idea?

the thing with rainworld is some of the finer details of the lore is left unexplained
whether or not this is one of those things i cant 100% confirm
I guess that is part of the magic of rain world
They probably go to some offscreen cave area protected from flooding
As for food, maybe they feed on the background plants we see in Farm Arrays
oh right, haven’t thought about it being a 3D world until now
the only time I had the backgrounds in mind is for some lizards that climb on it and the machine that looks like it exploded near look to the moon
I should look more closely at background, maybe there are hints on it
The map being shared across slugcats instead of being specific for each one has to be one of the biggest things that makes playing monk more fun
I don’t have to be rediscovering everything in a frustrating way
does it mean that i can go with a passage to any shelter that i have discovered with survivor even if i haven’t with the monk?
maybe the wizards thingies keep out the water or something, I genuinely don't know though
I'm not sure but it's worth trying it out
There's a lot to learn by analyzing the foreground and background of rooms, each region is ripe with environmental storytelling
I will try it in this playthrough while i go as quick as i can with monk
it would be so clutch to unlock the survivor passage and just go to deep in the filtration system
if i can do that i will definitely explore a bit more with survivor
I noticed that monk seems to throw things a bit slower
i don’t know if that is going to affect damage
Maybe i should go with two bat flies as decoy (and maybe experiment with giving food to predators) instead of the reliable rock + spear
could be a reasonable strategy now that i have two points less of food
man
i love the rain world map with all my heart
but not being able to see the next region is…
definitely a design choice
i guess I should be memorizing this stuff
You always have the map in game
I haven’t really memorized as much as I just know the general direction things are
that’s what i meant, like i’m “”designing”” where to go, to do it fast with monk but i don’t exactly remember which region starts in one specific karma gate so i can’t look at the region on the menu
but i guess i should just git gud
okay, I just played a bit of monk
went directly to industrial complex and then shaded citadel
bro got to proyect anything at this point
okaaaay
so if you don’t have a lantern you are suppose to grab the glowing puppies to get across shaded citadel as the spiders are scared of darkness
that’s a cool interaction
shaded citadel is extremely more stressful without a lantern
I should learn where could be a scavenger merchant nearby
or maybe try to trade a lantern to one of the scavenger squads that travel through the map with a pearl
my yellow guide is getting extremely stressed about me not getting to look to the moon


not many people take notice of that, me included, had to see other theories from a YouTuber
they become less efficient deers 
monk has less strength ^^
from my own experience, they either walk off screen, or if you're holding on to one they just sit there while you get squashed
just in case you can also use map on death screen and hibernating screen
luckily rain deer are invincible
yikes, so that means the game is not gonna make it more explicit
well, keeping it in mind maybe i can pick up some clues that exist from now on
The past theory was that the yellow guide was altering or memories to use us, but i think is a bit weird to do that and use a different memory set for monk
so i don’t think that is what’s happening (at least not how I imagined it)
yeah, i’m in the same boat
last night I couldn’t play more than 15 minutes
I got to memory crypts tho
and finish each campaign so you can join my threads /notsosilly
well, I think that is going to be in a long time
monk is being rather easy for the time being
I don’t want to just outright say it is too easy as this is rain world and they can still slap me in the face
but yeah, there are almost no creatures and they are stupid as fuck
I don’t know if that is the monk normal spawn rate or is the consequence of survivor killing a bunch of creatures in my playthrough
(Could be both, not being a dynamic thing when playing a campaigns in order and just being the in-lore reasoning for lower spawn)
Oh yeah, i always forget to use it in those screens but my main problem is not being able to see the regions i’m not in (so i usually just go to the menu and enter the maps there) The only thing is not knowing which karma gates lead where
but it’s okay
yeah i think the map is simulating the slugcat mental's projection with all his brain power
which is not that much 
||there is an answer btw, though i dont think the game explains that||
id like to point something else out here but that would be A) downpour content that i cant elaborate on in a vanilla thread and B) spoilers
if anyones curious ping me somewhere i can explain
its suggested by some means but they are subject to interpretation
I always thought the same, as some times when you open the map he clases his eyes and it looks like he is thinking
nice
well, we will see how this progresses in downpour then
there is still a long journey left with monk (and a pretty short one with hunter) to be had
its not sometimes its always, you can spam the map button and see him blinking endlessly 
finally his eyes can rest a little an not get dry (I haven’t payed attention to see if the slugcat blinks at all lol)
find out!! 
he as some automatic reactions for some stuff
oh shit
the robotic birds from memory crypt killed off my yellow guide
:(
monk looks so chill to discover the map
and i’m just rushing in to see the lore
I fill a bit bad for our yellow friend, he does not have a lot of time to enjoy the world
(right now i just got in to the exterior on cycle 9)
They can.. do that?
Yep
apparently
dude has been here since my survivor playthrough
the ones who know
sorry for no context, the camouflage lizard that is green in the photo
He is one that killed me twice the first time I got here in my survivor playthrough. I learned to just go left to evade it.
Now as a monk just because i was unsure if he would be there i went to the left and yep, he is still there. My lizard boy has been comping here i don’t know how long

There is no lizard it must be invisible
This afternoon at work has been rather theory-less because si am not seeing any difference (yet) with survivor in the lore
But monk is such a good character to fiddle around and explore more parts of the map
I wanted to search a cute photo of survivor or monk to put as a photo in the thread but I don’t want to spoil myself searching rain world content lol
I don't think there is much of them together
sad
It could be just survivor as it was the first playthrough
and the monk one doesn’t seem to be a lot longer (if the five pebbles area does not treat me very bad)
Well, i don’t have to worry much since I don’t even know how to put the image so it’s seeing on the thread selection screen
Me neither
Try posting it here and copying the image link and putting it in your first message
Okay, i’m going to use whatever as a place holder and once i fell comfortable searching fan art and i don’t feel like i will get spoiled we will change it
oh yeah, it kinda worked, don’t know why but discord made a left black bar
well, it’s scuffed like my first playthrough so it’s fine for the time being
look tiny survivor and monk before getting their houses flooded
you are a genius
I am indeed a genois
The bat eaters
rereading my thread and i can’t believe i started documenting in this moment, quite insane
Best decision you ever made
this still makes no sense to me, but i guess they interact with static electricity or whatever in the environment
it's zero gravity but there's still air, and their might be some unexplained sci-fi shenanigans
still don’t get why when five pebbles activated gravity the neurons turned in to pearls, but moon can have neurons with normal gravity (I’m finding out there is still a ton i don’t know about the androids and neurons in general)
fair, if there wasn’t any air our little slugcat would have died
the neurons turned into pearls?
I thought so when i interacted to five pebbles
maybe it just looked like that since there were a lot and didn’t saw the little legs in such low light
oh my bad
there wasn’t even neurons i see
five pebbles have pearls flying around so past me just thought they were neurons, but once the gravity got activated i processed that it was pearls instead
ohhh, I see
So this makes me even more eager to give some pearls to looks to the moon
i wouldnt think they would need much power to fly in 0g
re-reading the thread has been proved to be useful
that's nice!
I was just surprised because slugcat gets so stuck in 0grav but the neurons can just zoom by and they don’t appear to be moving its limbs interacting with the environment
but maybe there is some suspension of disbelief and just asume they use air
but neurons appear to be designed for that
birds can fly, so why cant humans
im imagining they have like little rocket propellors but thats speculation
there is air otherwise slugcat couldnt breathe
but the creatures that fly move their limbs to be able to move, that’s why if i damage a vulture in some wings they get more sluggish (best thing in game to be honest, that they have to interact with the environment to move)
but the neurons just move whenever they like without interacting, it just makes them a bit uncanny
but they are in general pretty unique and look as you said made to be that way
so it’s nothing I worry about, just made me extra curious
(the flying around moon makes me still a bit confused tho)
could be
it isn’t the craziest thing in this game to be fair
anyway i feel i’m just looking so hard at tiny details that may or may not be importante at all
but with this game if i don’t try to look at everything out there i can miss some big information
i don tthink they explain this tbf
true
are you sure about that 
read a bit further before commenting
i think i know about neurons but i cant say anything without me being spoily so i wont say it 
i just saw it 
I think we all sin about replying before reading all the context lol
I am exploring for a bit in the exterior (the underhang) before beelining to five pebbles and saw a part on the left of the map that i haven’t seen yet, i will try and explore further in the next cycle (I died become of the electric storm)
oh shit
just connected to this room on the wall that in my last playthrough found from the left
si think i will go to see pebbles from here
I hope there is nothing missing in five pebbles (region) that i haven’t seen since i’m probably gonna skip it
maybe i go out to explore but five pebbles maybe insist on me getting out
we’ll see
I don’t know what to do
right know I am in the shelter in the wall right next the chimney canopies karma gate
So i have two possibilities right now
go to chimney canopies, encounter nineteen spades and then go to the top of the wall and find the other echo that’s there
to see if i can get higher karma in the echo’s weird scale (higer than the circle and the verticals line)
or go to see five pebbles, get the gift of communication and then go to see nineteen spades, that way i can see the dialogue that i missed the first time due to getting ther at the beginning of my first playthrough
What do you all think should be my course of action? Since once i get the gift of communication i will not be able to get the echo’s karma symbol, but if i go before i will not be able to see the dialogue
obviously both 
im not really into that technical stuff but could it perhaps be possible to make a copy of your monk save on a different save slot so you can go to pebbles on the first save slot and go see the echoes on another?
just so you could do both
i dont know how feasable that is
oh shit i haven’t thought about that
idk exactly how to do that in my steam deck
but maybe I can start playing with my internet off, do one of them (the one where i don’t go to five pebbles) and then maybe reload my original save
that or just search the nineteen spades dialogue online but i will not like to do that to be honest
thats an option as well
im not familiar with the steam deck so i cant tell you how to make a copy of your save
okay, i think i found the folder, it looks like windows folder structure
does someone know where the saves are?
maybe SJ_0?
there's also the option of doing it on another campaign 
the sav files are your saves by the way
yeah, maybe i would have gotten my answer faster if i would just started another save file
at least in learning a bit of options and the files in rain world
Huh, maybe it is harder than i thought duplicating the save slot
well, i will try one thing and the other one will be saved in the vault until i see the opportunity in another playthrough

doing some thinkering i was able to duplicate the first save files
and it was easier, i thought i had to change the sav file itself, editing the text, but duplicating and changing the name to sav3 it was enough
so you got it to work?
yeaah, but i wasted almost all my free time in that lol
so tonight i might try to get to five peebles climbing up the wall, probably teleport to the depths (if possible) and ascend
and tomorrow (without the gift of communication) maybe try and reach nineteen spades, comeback to the wall and find six grains of gravel
and after that… if i get more karma symbols probably search four needles or just start a few cycles of hunter to try how it goes
oh shoot, i need to go to nineteen spades before getting to the depths to see the dialogue
hunter 
maybe i can’t do it tonight then
take it slow, no need to do everything all at once 
fair enough
i’m just worried i won’t be able to try some other characters before college starting
fair
im kinda worried i wont have time for anything either when i go to college next month 
this game is too big (not a bad think I just didn’t thought it would be like this when i started it)
same, what are you studying in college if you don’t mind me asking?
im starting applied mathematics in october :pain:
first year
😭
I’m sure it will be okay, just be constant and it will be understandable
oh yeah, sorry
no worries
I meant to have consistency
the same thing
My first year was a bit rough, I thought i was going to drop out
but I kept pushing through, making friends that supported me (and i supported them), for me studying with friends was a life saver
But mathematics will be different, I have heard that is difficult but people that do it love it
so, have a lot of fun and learn a lot
(After finishing i feel i just learned like 40% of what they taught me, but is what i needed to do my master’s degree lol)
so are you doing your master's now?
yeah, second master
I got the first one this year (Organic chemistry, to do industrial research and maybe a future PhD) and now i’m going to start my second (to be able to teach chemistry in high school)
oooohhh really cool
Yeah, I have always wanted to teach at high schools, but i would love to work at a pharmaceutical some years to see advanced chemistry labs
But we will see where I end up, maybe you find me in a mcdonalds lol
im sure youll find a great job with that
I hope, I can’t depend on my rain world shitty skills to pay rent T-T
at least you have one month more to enjoy tbh
what are you planning on doing this next month?
im doing my drivers license course rn
id like to go on like a trip cuz i havent been anywhere this summer
that’s nice, i waited until my last year in college to do it and i should have done it before getting into the degree, or in the first year
ill probably have to do the course simultanously with my degree cuz no way im finishing in september
well, once you start it’s going to get easier the more you do it
do you have to do a theoretical exam and then a practice one?
yeah, im doing practical lessons now though
almost drove in front of a car twice on a roundabout 
it happens to everyone while learning lol
i once dreamt that i fell down a cliff while doing a practical lesson and the next week i got a little scared of the classes lmao
I had to do like 27 of them(30 minutes each) before getting my license, but i don’t know if in your country it’s more or less strict than mine
30 minutes? damn you barely even got anywhere 
its 15x2h here or something around that
yeah, sometimes it felt like I did nothing in each class
but it did allow me to absorb and think about the scenarios that i learned in each class (when i wasn’t overwhelmed by exámenes)
But i think 15x2h is a lot better
it’s just that over here, the academies put high prices in classes so that’s how they make a lot of their money. People then try and do the least amount (I think that’s why a lot people drive badly in my country)
What
okay, something fishy is happening here
I went to the place that nineteen spades was in my first playthrough (if i remember it correctly)
But now they aren’t here
I thought everything was going according to the plan as when i got high up the screen changed between day/night rapidly but there weren’t any of the usual etherealness that usually comes from being around a echo
So…
is it because
- I have encountered this echo before and you can not see them again on any character (I hope not, i want to see the dialogue without having to start a whole new save file)
- I need high karma but having the protection from the orange flower is seen as “cheating” from the game
- Monk is unable to see echoes (for whatever reason i’m not aware yet)
Wait
the first time i got here i didn’t saw the echo, but i had low karma
let’s try one last desperate thing, i’m gonna sleep one cycle and come again, maybe if you don’t have the gift of communication you have to get to the place twice to “prove” your prowess
so there are white marks in the background that may indicate you were an echo place is close
that’s so useful
here we are again, let’s see how much i can get
oh, karma gates don’t require anything when playing monk?
so is the circle karma symbol like “nothing”? i though it meant “saint”
they dont require any specific karma level after you pass through them once iirc
oh, that makes the monk a little easier
the more i play i feel the yellow/cyan guides are like the delores in this thread lol
I love blue lizards omg
in this playthrough i have been able to apreciate how stupid they are
first time i see so many guides in the same place
what, two of them got close and started touching the tendrils between them
remind me about the things that give electricity inside five pebbles
pole plants needs two shots instead of one, monk really is weaker huh
oh, wow, the symbols got transformed
I only know one more echo location
let’s see
||none of the above||
yeah
after seeing nineteen spades and six grains of gravel i guess nineteen spades needs you to go twice(?)
good observations
that’s scares me a little, I hope i don’t have to do very complicated things to encounter more echoes
at least if they have marks on the walls that would be fine
answer:||nah ||
lol hope u can play again soon
Sounds like a plan


Oh yeah definitely it gets huge when you play it lol
Average science career
He's gon
Omg bro figured out the symbol no way
Yeeesss
oh, I don’t remember having this screen pop up in my survivor playthrough, that’s so sad
what? cycle 23?
does using a passage count extra cycles?
we will be on the look out to see if there is more out there
literally
mercedes benz symbol
They are starting to resemble the one that five pebbles gave me
So, i guess that there are more echoes in some regions that i still don’t know and they will eventually give me the X in a circle
So there is a way to get it without talking to five pebbles
don’t know if that could be useful, but cool to know
So is that in the back another place for an android like the one that exploded or five pebbles?
si what looks like a city is in the top of five pebbles?
what does si mean?
Are the androids supposed to be the keepers of cities for the ancients? and when the cycles started to happen they got the androids to find a way to die and exit the cycles?
I’m always assuming that the cycles started happening in a big event, bat maybe life has always been like that for this beings
okay, and there is no rain cycle over here because we are above the clouds
WAIT
are the super machines causing the rain because they work using steam or something?
that sounds like a easy way to blow up if you are not careful
steampunk!
i’m very interested in the red buildings, but i’m not sure how to start theorizing about that

you'll find out soon enough I think
well, we have seen the karma gates work with coils that get very hot and it uses water to cool off
so maybe the androids consume so much energy they have to consume a lot of water to work and they evaporate it forming clouds
big releases of hot water can cause torrential rains
ooooh, that’s why look to the moon is on shoreline, they needed a lot of water
so is moon the one that exploded and survived somehow?
i’m trying so bad to decyoher the symbols but most of them are too irrecognizable at this moment
which symbols?
the ones that are around the top of five pebbles that are written in gold
here we go
I'm pretty sure you already figured most of those out
well, somewhat
true
oh, so the five pebbles dialogue changes
finally something different in lore
maybe the echoes change also as i have talked with them with survivor
Someday that rattuse comes by i will ask them to write the dialogue with five pebbles as monk
but it confirmed that survivor has passed through
I picked a neuron and a colored shiny ball for moon, so i’ll go there now
|| I am growing increasingly impatient with the traffic of your kind through me and my premises.
During previous interactions, I have been rewarded no other response than a blank stare. Yet you apparently have sufficient ability for communication to circulate complex instructions on how to enter this chamber among each other.
You and your kind have the same problem as everyone else, from the microbes in the processing strata to me, who am, if you excuse me, godlike in comparison. We all want a way out. It is only unfortunate that you have collectively decided on... me as your solution to that very elemental desire.
The last one I gave some help and some general directions. I will do the same for you.
Go west. Past the Farm Arrays. Where the land fissures, go down into the earth and search your way deeper.
Now in return I ask you to use whatever grunts, moans and eye-twitches you employ to forward a message to your community.
Please stop scratching your way through my memory arrays.
Speaking of, on your way out please use the access shaft. ||you mean this? (hopefully the spoiler works)
stole my job
/silly

yours looked different though
thaaanks
hum, something interesting happened
So i got out of five pebbles with a neuron and a colored pearl
i wanted to use a passage to go see moon, so i tried to store the neuron on my stomach, but didn’t remember i was still a bit hungry and rated the neuron
(I was scared of five pebbles killing me because he already telled me “Go outside, is the last time i’m asking)
so i just exited the game and reenter to redo what i have done
but the game already thought i had talked with five pebbles and i had the gift of communication and higher karma available
so i’m having again the conversation in which five pebbles gives me the gift
yup you don't lose the gift of communication
oh, moon still has 5 neurons
so a misteriosa force has eaten one of their neurons will i was away
good think i brought one again
wait, was the yellow guide trying to tell me to eat the neurons?
what?
I don't think so
it’s just very very insisting on the fact that moon has neurons
maybe it’s just telling me to restore them
I mean, it does look like the tendrils in five pebbles a lot but i’m not sure what to make out of it
apparently moon can read the shiny balls
I thought she would just be very happy since the scavengers always bring shiny balls to her
vey vey?
so (almost) every pearl has something?
ups, meant very
In all the playthrough i have noticed that the rain cycles have been so consistent
they always last almost the same
is that a monk mechanic?
try it out
yes
i have tried it with the ones close to moon, but now i know that i will have to give them the pearls around the map
that’s going to be a little long to do
if they would get transported with passages at least it would make it more chill but yeah
between getting neurons and pearls, it’s a bit grindy, but maybe there is a slugcat that makes it easier
shut i just remembered that i didn’t went to nineteen spades
ooo monk pebbles
oh your at the end already lol
their dialogue will be discovered in another playthrough i guess (or in this one if i continue later to explore where are the other echoes)
yeah, just got here
i feel i acomplisged a lot today tbh
yeah, maybe i try one or two cycles before getting in to bed
btw i didn’t expected to be able to spear the heads of the computer wizards
got a little surprised
i’m a bit scared of five pebbles now
he seemed a bit angry, i don’t know how good is he going to react to me showing up as hunter
50 hours and hunter awaits
i feel like this would be a banger wallpaper engine
So monk sees survivor as he ascends?
daam, well i guess finally they meet having their family together
monk's ending is still one of the cutest to me 
little guy really loves their sibling
wait what
why do you need to go twice

gratz on progression !
i dont understand this either
||I don't know why, but for most slugcats you need to visit most echoes twice, except the one in exterior and subterranean||
Oh, I said i was going to play hunter but at the end i got talking with my partner and got sleepy
when i hace come time today we will try my red guy
ah you mean to get the ||trigger thingy||
the tomato scug!!!!!!!!!
good luck!!!
yea
The to-do list got updated yay
please don't mention downpour related stuff in a vanilla channel 
i would be careful talking directly about content that would be potentially a spoiler for the op as well, even if it is tagged
good that i didn’t look at the spoiler tag
It feels weird to be called op, i feel i’m in reddit lol
i felt the same way for awhile 
Redditor
oh, the original message got deleted
you don’t have to delete it, but i will be happier if you say from what part of the game is the spoiler
that way i know if i can click it or not
i just deleted the downpour one since vanilla forum
technically it slightly hints towards stuff from other slugcats so i wouldn't look at it if i were you 
if you want me to 💥 it just in case i will
for now it’s fine
okay, well, i won’t click it
I usually assume i can’t click what yall spoiler tag unless it’s the transcription of a dialogue
some felpers tend to spoil tag hints they give so it's up to the player which ones they want to view
so that might not always be the case 
reddit but better /silly
oh, i understand you deleting it then, if it wasn’t a hint
didn’t took the photo before so there you go
oh, hunter straight up appears on screen
there is no cutscene
and i can grab two spears????
this is big
wtf, they have a green pearl in their stomach and a neuron on the other hand
but they were coming from the left of farm arrays, is there another android over there?
interesting, there is a “cycle 19” in the top left. So is hunter canonically doing a lot of things before the playthrough?
oh, I hibernated and he went to cycle 18
Do i need to survive 18 cycles without dying and is going to get crazier the more cycles i have done?
Or do I have only 19 cycles to ascend?
that seems difficult as fuck
oh, and the flies only gets you 1/4 of a food point
oh i had to delete the other thing because it was downpour related
no downpour spoilers are allowed in vanilla channels
new challenge if it is that way 
I have died 3 times in sky islands just by trying to hunt to eat
si yeah, it’s not the surviving i guess
It seems is going to be just having 19 cycles to do everything
I’m extremely curious to see where is hunter in the timeline, and having moon get the new neuron and the new pearl
but those things are so unimaginable far i don’t know if i can


you can do it !
im bad at the game and i managed to finish the whole campaign
good luck with hunter 
but you did it after all downpour
I’m going to give it a few tries but having the neuron and the pearl occupying space is pretty uncomfortable
nope !
i did hunter before
but i had downpour activated in remix yeah
oh daam
you did hunter before?
It will have to be done then
ai not entirely sure of how to get fast to moon and five pebbles
at least i tried to do monk fast, but hunter has a lot of creatures spawning (so you can eat) and i start in farm arrays, that’s so far away. I will try and look at my in game map a bit to see where i should go
yeah i wanted to do all vanilla then first dlc the second one
or did you started documenting after that?
i joined the discord after 1000h of gametime 
oh
okay
i’m just a bit eager to read some of y’all threads
but that’s going to be in a long time ig
maybe maybe not !
id love to link mine up but its downpour 
did you play survivor with downpour activated?
true, let’s see how this advances
yup
i wish i did not tho xD
I’m a bit worried I turned in the oposite way to find out about this in the last second lol
but i will eventually see it
i only joined after i finished survivor and started documenting after i got downpour
I see
pretty sure i never had a vanilla thread
one day I will prove myself as hunter (or forfeit) and i will ascend with you to the downpour threads
Ah, I wanted to ask something about monk
Is there something that i haven’t seen or found out during my playthrough that’s somewhat obvious?
I’m just saying because i don’t think i will be playing them in a long time, and by that I may already have read other people
So just asking being curious, because i only found out that mom:
- Gets to outskirts almost immediately after survivor
- Sees that five pebbles starts to get angry at slugcats
- Finds lets creatures in their way, and is able to move through karma gates much easier
- Needs less food but has less strength
I also have the impression that monk somehow attracts the predators a bit less
Some stuff i did to go through hostile environment would have not worked with survivor
oh yeah and
- Monk finds survivor after ascending
But maybe there are some other differences that i haven’t noticed
you resumed it quite good
a few stuff missing which i wont be able to tell because downpour 
damm it, downpour getting in the way all the time
i have one but i only use it for rwsc 
monk is technically meant to be an easy mode compared to survivor and to help ease players into the game if they need it, so yeah their actual gameplay is not that different from their sibling other than things you found out
anyway stop hinting at downpour content guys 
ok miss grumpy

/silly
truly a fate worse than the deepest pits of hell 
my playthrough by the time being
y’all are too anaccessible
I have seen that almost all the threads are pretty short (except a 9000 thousand message hunter thread lol)
that's cas' thread isn't it 
cas is a really well known person in first playthrough threads because she documents her playthroughs in a lot of detail
hopefully one day you can see them for yourself too 
i send you cheese
if only i didnt start an expedition recently you could've joined since i've been doing vanilla server challenges as survivor 🥹
Oooo they doing it!!
Porl
they 🥹

i don't see cheese 

I also finished hunter
I do!!! I do!!!!
Bro hasnt finished hunter and has the felpers rank 
Sadly my thread will have soiler
but I think I'll be able to link in a bit?
I think I know which that is lol
Oops sorry
im sorry 
🧀
here you go

omg i would love to read it
It will happen eventually, but i imagine there is a lot there, even if i end the hunter playthrough
yeah, i recommend doing much more exploration before joining those 
even just finishing hunter won't be enough
yeah, I will, I don’t want to get a lot spoiled
yeah? can i see it??
why do you apologize about using they?
Just got out of work earlier because i had to take my gf to the emergency room (she is fine right now, just got hurt)
he's probably apologizing for using wrong pronouns 
glad your gf is fine though, hoping she recovers quickly 
oh, that was why i was confused
I use they/them pronouns so it’s perfect
I’m also used to he/him as there is no good neutral pronoun in spanish :(
maybe i don’t have my prefered pronouns visible in my profile?
or was the they used for the slugcat?
I wasn’t aware slugcats had pronouns, but i guess something can happen during the playthrough that makes it a little obvious
You got a LOT of reading to do.... A lot a lot
I edited that, it said he but rat told me to use them instead
Not yet, I'll wait just a bit longer for that... Make sure to post your reaction to any new creatures you encounter
I first want to see your reaction to one particular one, then you can come
okaaay
today and tomorrow are going to be very scarce, i have to prepare the luggage and everything to go back to the capital (where i study college)
but once i have time i will bash my head against the wall as hard as i can ^^
aaah, didn’t noticed the edited tag, was it meant for the slugcat or for me?
