oh yeah?

outer wyvern
#

yup

civic egret
#

maybe i missed it

outer wyvern
#

two times

civic egret
#

or i just forgot it

#

what’s the name?

outer wyvern
#

i forgot it too before

#

survivor monksilly

civic egret
#

oh right

#

is the passage

#

wait

outer wyvern
#

yup

civic egret
#

then the sixth karma here is the monk?

#

don’t ask me why but i didn’t connect the passages with the karma lol

outer wyvern
#

i wont say anything about this karma because i dont know monksilly

civic egret
#

such an obvious thing tbh

static lotus
#

actually nevermind

rain briar
civic egret
#

let’s see what the dudes have to say now

outer wyvern
civic egret
#

coming here after all this time is such a satisfaying feeling

#

like i have been preparing since the death by the computer wizards

rain briar
civic egret
#

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

rain briar
#

interesting connection monksilly

civic egret
#

being here again it’s a little nostalgic

#

and having half the map already uncovered “”knowing”” I won’t die is so cool

civic egret
#

please dear god, don’t kill me with telekinesis

#

I infact didn’t die

#

let’s go

hushed pilot
#

kill you with telekinesis monkwail

civic egret
civic egret
#

wasn’t really pleasant to be honest

hushed pilot

civic egret
hushed pilot
#

ive just never seen that happen

rain briar
#

there i put a knowing emote monksilly

civic egret
#

fuck, just fell into a pit

hushed pilot
#

it cancels out monksilly

rain briar
hushed pilot
civic egret
#

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

rain briar
#

he saw there's no neurons and left monkwail

outer wyvern
#

so rude

civic egret
#

I’m loving the screen effects

#

gives me the same sensation as when i was entering five pebble’s room

#

obviously more mystical

rain briar
#

very yellow monksilly

civic egret
#

the movement control feels very similar to the mushrooms

outer wyvern
#

yellow yellowing

hushed pilot
#

i love the yellow bits

#

very pretty

civic egret
#

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

rain briar
#

i think they'd just bash slugcat on the ground and call that cleaning

civic egret
hushed pilot
#

so pretty....

#

i get hypnotized by this section

civic egret
#

guys

#

i don’t think my family is over here

#

can i backtrack or anything?

rain briar
#

might be best to keep on exploring for now monkcurious

#

you can always backtrack later if you like, you're never locked out of anything anyway

static lotus
civic egret
#

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

hushed pilot
civic egret
#

okay, still doing this

#

but

#

i had to pause

#

another fucking slugcat?

#

no fucking way

civic egret
#

oh, it’s me

#

are they all the cycles?

rain briar
hushed pilot
hushed pilot
civic egret
#

ascension

#

wow

#

absolute cinema

rain briar
#

did you take a screenshot monksilly

civic egret
#

i had the last cutscene in the thread all this time lol

#

got this one

rain briar
civic egret
#

felt very important

rain briar
civic egret
#

so, i’m sooo confused

rain briar
#

so many slugcat

hushed pilot
civic egret
#

yeah, but i guess there were all me

rain briar
#

congrats though!! survcelebrate welcome to the 11%!!!

civic egret
#

so did i meet god?

rain briar
#

it's honestly whatever you interpret it as rivowo

civic egret
#

did i just died and found myself out of the cycles?

hushed pilot
#

ascension is very interesting

you shall find out!

civic egret
#

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

rain briar
civic egret
#

i guess i shall seek more answers

rain briar
#

find out!!!!!!!

civic egret
#

so, is there more lore in another slugcats?

#

or did i skip a lot of content?

rain briar
#

there definitely is

civic egret
#

both?

hushed pilot
#

scuglat

civic egret
rain briar
civic egret
#

because to be fair the story of survivor was a little out there

rain briar
#

but yes there is still more to discover, and i'm sure you have plans on what to do now as well

hushed pilot
rain briar
civic egret
#

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

if you want to make a to do list and have it pinned let me know

rain briar

#

omg, all the people lurking side fly came out because of the end of the playthrough

#

thank you so much to have been by my side helping me

rain briar
#

why am i getting cheese baited again today spearpensivetothat

civic egret
#

don’t worry, i will have a lot more theories and will bash my head against many walls to come

ashen forum
civic egret
#

yeah, I’ll do it in a sec

hushed pilot
civic egret
#

first i have to really know if the next thing i will do is vanilla hunter or what

rain briar
#

you could do both monksilly

do they have different objectives?

outer wyvern

yes

hushed pilot
ashen forum
#

Man I can't wait for u to explore the lore proper

civic egret
#

or am i going to five pebbles and then depths?

rain briar
civic egret
outer wyvern
#

monk is very similar but hunter is another game

#

i still recommend monk

outer wyvern
#

monk is more chill and let you explore a bit more

hushed pilot
ashen forum
civic egret
#

oh i see

#

well i feel i kinda did that

#

once i gave her a neuron i just left

hushed pilot
civic egret
#

I feel a bit sad about it

ashen forum
#

Looks like your returning though??

rain briar
#

you saw dialogue i haven't seen myself

ashen forum
#

There's still lots to see

civic egret
#

wanted to ask something about this

rain briar
#

because i am too lazy to do the trip back and forth

ashen forum
civic egret
#

so yall mentioned maybe different canons in the DLCs

#

but like

#

if i play another slugcat doesn’t that change the canon?

rain briar
#

it kinda works like

#

monk, survivor, and hunter are confirmed to be a part of the same storyline/timeline

civic egret
#

so some of them are later and earlier in the timeline?

hushed pilot
civic egret
#

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

rain briar
#

downpour follows the same timeline as those three, but the actual downpour storyline itself is considered a separate AU

civic egret
#

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

rain briar
#

their places on the timeline are for you to figure out monksilly

civic egret
#

omg

#

i’m so hyped about the next playthrough lol

hushed pilot
#

this game is very very interesting

ashen forum
#

Same with watcher

hushed pilot
#

there are infinite things to do

ashen forum
civic egret
#

i’m going to low key assume survivor is the first one just because of five pebbles reaction

ashen forum
#

Just... Don't miss out on the lore

civic egret
#

but who knows, maybe i can see the machine explode with a previous one

#

SO

#

WAIT

hushed pilot
#

im waiting!?

civic egret
#

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?

outer wyvern
rain briar
#

it was me

#

sorry

outer wyvern
#

me too my first run, sorry

answered your question with find out like a true felper 🥹

hushed pilot
civic egret
#

you can eat them

#

oh

#

what happens to moon if i eat the neurons?

rain briar
#

find out...

outer wyvern

outer wyvern

omg i don’t know if i can find out

hushed pilot

#

i’m sure there is a steam achievement fuck

hushed pilot
#

i would never do that to moon

civic egret
#

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

hushed pilot
#

theres so many monksillys omg

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

outer wyvern

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?

outer wyvern
hushed pilot
#

okay wait think about this....
moon = blueprint
five pebbles = brainstorm!?

civic egret
#

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

outer wyvern
hushed pilot
#

i use the server emojis WAYYYY too little

outer wyvern
rain briar
#

my favorite emotes are technically spoiler creatures so i barely use them

hushed pilot
outer wyvern
#

im starting to use them everywhere on other servers

rain briar
#

makes me sad spearpensivetothat

civic egret
#

how cute

hushed pilot
rain briar
#

yeah this server is very prideful monksilly

civic egret
#

i’m glad

#

it was one of the things that pushed me to talk in the first place

hushed pilot
#

respect everyone!!!!!!!!!!

civic egret
#

i’m scared of one of the emotes in particular

#

who is this dude?

hushed pilot
#

lollll

outer wyvern
#

i dont even know xD

civic egret
#

it looks like some of the constructions in industrial complex

outer wyvern
#

looks like a meme for level editors

rain briar
#

it is monksilly

civic egret
rain briar
#

hence this emoji in a modding server

civic egret
#

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

#

ok back to my rain world endeavours

rain briar
#

where's documenting rivevil

outer wyvern
#

on my thread of course monksilly

static lotus
#

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?

rain briar
#

i know who the artist is at least

hushed pilot
#

found thread.

rain briar
#

my rw emote server list is growing

civic egret
#

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

outer wyvern
#

is it a text file ?

civic egret
#

it also gets blocked, maybe it is because i’m using #, for headers to do formatting

civic egret
outer wyvern
#

ah yes oki

#

here you go

civic egret
#

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 ^^

lone kelp

#

Yeah please

lone kelp
civic egret
#

Can I edit it while it’s pinned right?

lone kelp
#

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

for main channels it’s a big no

what is FP?

#

lone kelp
#

fib pibbles

civic egret
#

Okay, today I will try monk or hunter (don’t know yet)

#

do I just change the flair?

lone kelp
#

change whatever you wish to!

#

the tags would be the best thing

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

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)

ashen forum
civic egret
#

but yeah, nothing (for the time being)

civic egret
#

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?

lone kelp
#

im not actually sure as far as the loreful explanation goes

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

maybe someone else has some idea?

lone kelp
#

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

civic egret
#

I guess that is part of the magic of rain world

ebon prairie
#

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

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
static lotus
ebon prairie
ebon prairie
civic egret
civic egret
#

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

lone kelp
#

You always have the map in game

#

I haven’t really memorized as much as I just know the general direction things are

civic egret
# lone kelp You always have the map in game

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

civic egret
#

okay, I just played a bit of monk

#

went directly to industrial complex and then shaded citadel

civic egret
#

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

ashen forum
#

He's confused you see

#

luckily rain deer are invincible

civic egret
#

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)

outer wyvern
#

cant wait for you to discover more lore

civic egret
#

yeah, i’m in the same boat

#

last night I couldn’t play more than 15 minutes

#

I got to memory crypts tho

outer wyvern
#

and finish each campaign so you can join my threads /notsosilly

civic egret
#

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)

civic egret
#

but it’s okay

outer wyvern
#

yeah i think the map is simulating the slugcat mental's projection with all his brain power

#

which is not that much monksilly

ashen forum
#

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

outer wyvern
civic egret
civic egret
#

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

outer wyvern
civic egret
#

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)

ashen forum
#

find out!! monksilly

outer wyvern

#

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)

ashen forum
lone kelp
#

Yep

civic egret
civic egret
#

dude has been here since my survivor playthrough

lone kelp
#

what dude

#

i cant see it

outer wyvern
#

the dud who has been here

ripe brook
#

the ones who know

civic egret
#

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

lone kelp
#

There is no lizard it must be invisible

weary rapids
#

Invisible lizard doesn't exist. It can't hurt you.
Invisible lizard:

civic egret
#

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

ashen forum
#

I don't think there is much of them together

civic egret
#

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

ashen forum
#

Me neither

#

Try posting it here and copying the image link and putting it in your first message

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
# civic egret

look tiny survivor and monk before getting their houses flooded

I am indeed a genois

ashen forum
civic egret
#

rereading my thread and i can’t believe i started documenting in this moment, quite insane

ashen forum
#

Best decision you ever made

civic egret
#

this still makes no sense to me, but i guess they interact with static electricity or whatever in the environment

static lotus
civic egret
#

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)

civic egret
static lotus
civic egret
#

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

static lotus
#

ohhh, I see

civic egret
#

So this makes me even more eager to give some pearls to looks to the moon

ashen forum
civic egret
#

re-reading the thread has been proved to be useful

static lotus
civic egret
#

but maybe there is some suspension of disbelief and just asume they use air

ashen forum
#

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

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)

civic egret
#

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

ashen forum
#

i don tthink they explain this tbf

static lotus

#

i think i know about neurons but i cant say anything without me being spoily so i wont say it monksilly

#

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)

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

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

outer wyvern
#

obviously both monksilly

ripe brook
#

just so you could do both

#

i dont know how feasable that is

civic egret
#

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

ripe brook
#

im not familiar with the steam deck so i cant tell you how to make a copy of your save

civic egret
#

okay, i think i found the folder, it looks like windows folder structure

#

does someone know where the saves are?

#

maybe SJ_0?

rain briar
#

there's also the option of doing it on another campaign hunterglee

#

the sav files are your saves by the way

civic egret
#

oh, there are backups inside rain world

#

that’s so useful

civic egret
#

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

rain briar
civic egret
#

doing some thinkering i was able to duplicate the first save files

civic egret
ripe brook
#

so you got it to work?

civic egret
#

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

rain briar
#

hunter hunterblep

civic egret
#

maybe i can’t do it tonight then

ripe brook
#

take it slow, no need to do everything all at once hunterglee

civic egret
#

fair enough

#

i’m just worried i won’t be able to try some other characters before college starting

ripe brook
#

fair

#

im kinda worried i wont have time for anything either when i go to college next month monkwail

civic egret

this game is too big (not a bad think I just didn’t thought it would be like this when i started it)

#

first year

#

😭

civic egret
#

oh shit

#

good luck

#

I finished my chemical degree last year

civic egret
ripe brook
#

constant? monkconfused

#

you mean consistent?

civic egret
#

oh yeah, sorry

ripe brook
#

no worries

civic egret
#

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)

ripe brook
#

so are you doing your master's now?

civic egret
#

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)

ripe brook
#

oooohhh really cool

civic egret
#

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

ripe brook
#

im sure youll find a great job with that

civic egret
#

I hope, I can’t depend on my rain world shitty skills to pay rent T-T

civic egret
#

what are you planning on doing this next month?

ripe brook
#

id like to go on like a trip cuz i havent been anywhere this summer

civic egret
#

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

ripe brook
#

ill probably have to do the course simultanously with my degree cuz no way im finishing in september

civic egret
#

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?

ripe brook
#

yeah, im doing practical lessons now though

#

almost drove in front of a car twice on a roundabout monkwail

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
ripe brook
#

30 minutes? damn you barely even got anywhere rivflabbergasted

#

its 15x2h here or something around that

civic egret
#

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)

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

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”

ripe brook
civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

yeah

#

after seeing nineteen spades and six grains of gravel i guess nineteen spades needs you to go twice(?)

civic egret
#

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

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?

civic egret
civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

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?

static lotus
#

what does si mean?

civic egret
#

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

static lotus
#

steampunk!

civic egret
#

i’m very interested in the red buildings, but i’m not sure how to start theorizing about that

static lotus
static lotus
civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

that gets me pumped up

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

here we go

static lotus
#

well, somewhat

civic egret
#

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)

#

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

static lotus
#

yup you don't lose the gift of communication

civic egret
#

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?

static lotus
civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

so (almost) every pearl has something?

civic egret
#

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?

static lotus

civic egret
# static lotus try it out

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

start hunter now monksilly

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

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?

civic egret
#

oh, and the flies only gets you 1/4 of a food point

rain briar
#

no downpour spoilers are allowed in vanilla channels

rain briar
civic egret
#

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

i did hunter before

#

but i had downpour activated in remix yeah

civic egret
#

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

civic egret
#

one question

#

do you have your original survivor playthrough in this discord?

outer wyvern
civic egret
#

or did you started documenting after that?

outer wyvern
#

i joined the discord after 1000h of gametime monksilly

civic egret
#

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

outer wyvern

maybe maybe not !

ripe brook
civic egret
#

did you play survivor with downpour activated?

civic egret
outer wyvern
#

i wish i did not tho xD

civic egret
#

but i will eventually see it

ripe brook
#

i only joined after i finished survivor and started documenting after i got downpour

ripe brook
#

pretty sure i never had a vanilla thread

civic egret
#

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

outer wyvern
#

you resumed it quite good

#

a few stuff missing which i wont be able to tell because downpour monksilly
