and im not even wearing its mask!!!

#

ah, the bits in eastern desolate tract always give me such Industrial flashbacks

#

climbing up the bit to the shelter feels just like that one part in Industrial, right after Outskirts, where theres a "well, sorry, there's some parts where you HAVE to long jump, cant go around it, better get into a regular habit of it'

#

but yeah, that and the lil roof? fr

#

and the long pole climb up to the shelter

#

familiarrrr

#

damn thooo...
i dont think ive ever really noticed, that you can see aether ridge in the far distance at the top of fallen tramway...

#

like its def a huge structure

#

but danggg
you can see the dragon mouth and everything

#

that thing just like. dissolved from the inside out fr.

#

looks like i mostly connected the DT portal up to the rest of the surface!

#

ok ok theres a little liiiiittle bit left, right on the right side

....
but i dont wannnaaaaaa. lol.

i still got the east of torrid to do

#

but for now

#

gdi i wanna explore the rest of desolate @-@

sturdy beacon Oct 17, 2025, 4:50 AM

explored desolate, got a bit of turbulent, and got the turbulent pearl!

#

whatthefuck :v was THIS room here before either...???

#

outside???? of turbulent pump???? oh fuckin wo????

#

didnt see much though, rain was comin long before i got there. just picked a direction and ran

sturdy beacon Oct 17, 2025, 5:48 AM

#

ahhhh ok, i thought it led up here!

#

not quite so greebled, like i heard it described as earlier
but i guess, it /is/ outside! xD
like seeing the inside of a big dam vs outside

#

the insides are pretty crazy

#

oh dang, did not expect that one pipe to take me so far 8v
this is probably like. right before the ST room i bet...

#

...is ST left or right from here >->

#

im not quite done with turbulent yet

#

....ahhhh.

#

i feel bad leavin the kid hanging

#

ill go see ST

#

...wait, the dream??? o-o

#

am i already at max ripple?? wtf?

#

huh

#

well, ST did sound more sane this time

#

...yknow, first time i saw the dream sequence, i thought like.... the light all the slugcats were going to had exploded or something

#

with that high note, right as it looked like the cats were picking up speed or something
i thought that was them all going in the other direction x'D

#

but now that i watch it again, its more obvious that the watcher was going in that direction and following, and then stopped walking, and held back

#

also maybe a bit more obvious, color-wise, that the other two that passed by were probably its parent and sibling xD

#

maybe my PC monitor just has jank calibration. lol.

#

(i mean it does, i know that, but lol still)

#

very ST coded

#

very "i wasnt sure i wanted to go. so i hung back" vibes

#

also
very fun that turbulent pump goes to the heart room in heat ducts. lol.

#

another pump room

#

very thematic

#

...also ayyy thermal relay on the other sideeee

#

im in the giant CPU cooler

#

or well, will be

#

still hanging back in turbulent for a bit xD

#

probably going to explore the rest, then make it to verdant

#

and maybe get that last bit of verdant done

previous message before i spammed the sasukes

anything above that (until one eventually comes to another wall of sasukes above it) is safe

#

ANYWHO STILL IN TURBULENT!

#

made it to the shelter on the lower decks

#

gonna finish exploring that, and then maybe make it to verdant, and finish up there. still havent been to the top yet

#

yay, made it to verdant <3
thats turbulent pump, all mapped!

#

debating if i should go drop off the pearl first...
.......
nah cause then ill take another thousand years to make it back to the last 10% of Verdant. doin that first! xD

got about an hour before i have to head to work, maybe ill get a lil more done.

#

...ohhhhh
yeah
||i recognize some rooms....||

||the steam jets make sense too, hah||
||insane how this was just. open air.||

#

bwugh ._. i dont like going invisible and leaving tears, though

#

i heard that you had to keep track of.... portals? maybe the ones you make?
but the accidental tears while being invisible always had me nervous xD

#

even though the worst that happens is that something comes out and eats you

#

got the ST "....bro. you keep showing up. this aint normal, l m a o." dialogue
lends credence to the whole "ST's ripplespace journey just feels like a lonely lucid dream" vibe xD

#

just like
"haha... the fuck ARE you?"

#

anyway, ended up in Fetid! xD though i dont plan to spend long here

#

...but also...
...uh....

#

.....were there ||rotted basilisks|| before??? >v>;;;;;

#

frantically checking region map ahahhahaaaaa.

#

hm.... should i continue to explore fetid? i still got the turbulent pearl tho...

#

and i know imma need bubbleweed at some point...

#

...what even exits from fetid...

#

i might have to make a helluva detour....

#

i could go back to verdant, and go to signal spires...
that would get meeee...... mmmmm...
stormy coast, shattered terrace, and..... no thats it.

guess it's gonna be stormy coast! xD

#

or...
......hm. maybe--
nonononowaitnoHAHAHAA.
cannot store pearls in shattered.
there are, in fact, an amount of scavengers that live there.

#

damn shame. cause im like, ripple 10 now. so technically i COULD shortcut through daemon

#

but id just end up in shattered, anyway xD

#

sighhhh yeah xD im gonna be going back, haha.
verdant -> spires -> stormy -> cold storage -> shrouded -> pillars (pls patch omg) -> torrential

#

since i dont think theres an aether ridge portal anywhere along that line
(cept maybe iunno maybe somewhere in cold storage, who knows)

#

i might end up just sayin fuck it and droppin em off in migration xD who knows

sturdy beacon Oct 17, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

sighhh
my mid-week weekend has come to a close

sturdy beacon Oct 17, 2025, 10:04 PM

#

sooo lessee.
i finished verdant
i have the turbulent pearl to deliver
and I still have to hunt the ||Heat Ducts|| pearl and the ||Fetid Glen|| pearl...
anddd.... i think there's one in ||Salination|| that ill need to find, but i havent even gotten there yet.

sturdy beacon Oct 17, 2025, 10:23 PM

#

so, ill make it back to turbulent
thennn... maybe head for torrid, or the surface? and finish up those (finally, lol)
then from torrid, i can maybe swing by ||heat ducts||, and start that region. since ill be able to access it.
||fetid glen||, ill need to go to ||verdant|| for that xD
so... well, guess thats either a trip to turbulent, or signals. the turbulent route aint too bad, since i got the vulture mask. and also the barnacles are much easier to deal with xDD

#

....mmmm.
well acutally. it really /is/ up to whatever at this point.
||fetid glen|| or ||heat ducts||.
...i think either way, ill do ||heat ducts|| first? i think in 1.0, i did ||fetid|| last, after ||salination||, so maybe ill keep doing that xD

#

....gonna end up visiting all the echos at this point

#

sighhh
im gonna be locked into ripplespace-only float eventually x'D for sure

#

i remember tryna cheese a jump in OR, which didnt work because i had ripplespace-only float. lol.

once i go over that cliff, thats it.
unless anything's different.
but no idea. havent been to OR yet.

#

feels so surprising xD
last time i ended up there ASAP immediately after the first echo encounter xDDD

#

though i guess station annex is harder to get to, now

#

makes sense! prolly for the best, lol. to avoid someone ending up there in their first echo xDDD

#

...maybe ill take a grappleworm with me to OR... just in case.

#

...

#

maybe ill stockpile a /few/ grappleworms >-> just in case

#

i just need to get them to any shelter under that cliff, when i go

#

gotta remember!!! to do that!!! xDDD

#

that way, i can leave OR without having to rot anything

#

which was a plan I made after rotting stuff in 1.0, though I hadn't considered not being able to get back to the Daemon portal after going over the cliff...

#

....and im gonna have to get back to the Daemon portal >->
cause im gonna have to go over the cliff, to map things

#

ive kept all my regions rot-free thus far. wanna keep it that way. lol.

#

sorry prince, ill run into you another time xDD

...maybe get some help from some drill crabs for a chore

->;

#

ok one of the drill crabs wedged itself into the hide-from-drillcrab-tunnel, LOL

#

man. i couldnt find the centipede for a few cycles

#

so i said, ah, fuck it, ill just take the grappleworm and move on

...

#

of course i immediately find it =v=

#

ok... two cycles in a row, no centipede

#

im gonna try to go for the portal, with grapple and mask

i swear

#

if it shows up this time

yyyOOOOOOUUUUU MOTHERFUCKERRRRR

HAHAHA

#

why ._.

#

does it only show up when i have grappleworm ._.

and cannot hold a spear ._.

#

made it through to heat ducts =v=

...also ended up finding the salination portal! o: was it always there?

#

TOTALLY WOULDA DONE THAT BY ACCIDENT

#

...hm!!

#

i dont think i can actually get any farther in heat ducts...

ah well ill prolly do that some other time

anywhooo in thermal relay

i got pretty far, thought "huh..
why did i see this, and immediately have war flashbacks? as if it was hard? did i not have max ripple at the time or something?"

#

(i remember getting stuck between some of the thermal platforms and going WELP, I DIE TO RAIN OR I QUIT I GUESS, and once got out BARELY because i happened to have a spear with me)

...and then i died, and went like "...oh. i bet i got exactly here... and died. a lot."

Torrid Desert
Heat Ducts (iunno! got thermal relay and whatever I could get via the torrid portal. maybe 40%? maybe 50%?)
Salination (lol, like. one room.)

#

i can enter it xD
but it just... crashes.... so consistently slugwhy

#

i hear its something to do with like. scavengers trading amongst themselves, and frogs attatching to certain creatures.

#

but like, ill get to a shelter, and sometimes the room with the shelter door will crash, or the room directly to the right will crash....

#

yeah, the patch for PC mentioned those two things
and i realize that those are things that pillars has in spades xDD

#

sometimes i have a similar crash around tolls
but not as often

#

its a shame tho! xD pillars was my main commute to torrential!

#

all of my pearls are in the torrential shelter right outside the pillars-torrential portal xDD

#

the aether ridge route wouldnt be too bad, if i didnt have to stash my vulture mask every time

#

cause...

#

moth ._.

#

moth be doin a 360 no scope targeted murder

#

lol

#

yup...
though, at least its just the tramway xD

#

just gotta get back to the high up tower, so i can collect my vulture mask again

#

and then decide where to go next! x)

#

probably finish heat ducts, then maybe salination or fetid, not sure
i think salination first... i remember going through sanitation, getting stuck in a room with a bunch of barnacles and an axolotl, and like

#

having to explore those rooms SO THOROUGHLY to find food xDD

#

and then, later on,
finished fetid
got to the area where the echo was

#

...
and had to pause for a bit like

#

"..... i know these rooms slonkeyes "

#

ngl! wouldnt have recognized em as salination rooms if I hadn't gotten stuck there for so long!! xD

#

similar vibe to when i went to fractured, and was like

#

...I KNOW THESE SEWER PIPES.....
I RECOGNIZE THESE AS WATERWAYS......
THIS IS THE HALL WHERE I GOT STUCK AND EATEN BY LEECHES.....

#

omg tho when i went to the right ._. and just
saw the big open room
that this time, instead of leading to turbulent, led to fetid 8v

#

broooo....

#

it was such a trip..

#

gosh. seeing versions of similar regions....

#

OH YEAH ALSO I LIKE. ONLY RECENTLY REALIZED, THAT IN FALLEN TRAMWAY, YOU CAN SEE AETHER RIDGE IN THE BG.... BUT SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE 8V;;;

#

mostly if you go to the lil pole one screen to the left, yeah?

#

omg... dont think id done that in 1.0

#

but i could recognize the dragon head in the distance

#

I'm just like

#

aether. omg.
what happened to this 52nd great mind.
(or whatever number it was)

#

i mean, took me til 1.5 to notice a bunch! xD

#

and theres sometimes things in the background where im like...
"...IS that architecture i should recognize? seems awful specific..."

#

i think /maybe/ you can see some aether ridge from the turbulent side of aerial tramway...?? like... i cant really make out the dragon head. but i think i see the stuff to the left...

#

here's aether ridge in its entirety, from a post kaeporo made like.... years and years ago

#

which is what made me like
...
so impressed ._. with aether ridge. in general.

#

I didn't like, Get It, until i saw this
and then im like
....JESUS. OKAY.

#

but yeah, keep an eye out for this shape in the background of like, any of the tramways! xD the aether ridge version or the surface version!
you should be able to spot it on either! o:

#

...also jesus christ, realizing the center was like
that giant center pole in heat ducts...

#

the fucking. s c a l e.

#

id never played modded regions. only knew of aether ridge through like. vague talk of "LEGACY Legacy" mods. like before mods were even integrated easily.

#

and then i saw memes in 1.0 of everyone like "oops, all aether ridge!!" and im like

yeah, like i can recognize the dragon on the left side! o:
and the big open room with the giant pipe down the middle, thats heat ducts for sure!

and right side has gotta be cold storage, you can see some of the busted cages i think....

#

and then that tower on the right side, on the right side of /that/, there's that like.... conveyor belt lookin thing

or maybe it was my notes app. no idea

sturdy beacon Oct 20, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

#

oh! heres a neat thing that ties some of it together

#

guess in the original mod, you could get to sky islands from the tramway!

#

and i guess that one mystery dead end pipe would have gone to salination there

(i do love how you have cold storage, thermal relay, and heat ducts xD makes sense-- for things to be so cold, youve gotten send that heat somewhere!)

#

surprisingly, i never like... thought of the surface as down...
like, makes sense! xD
i guess though i vaguely thought of it generally right-ish, cause id have aireal tramway and fallen tramway as the right side in my mind...
but yeah, if its fallen tramway, itd be down. and then, i guess the rest of the surface would be down and to the left! xD

#

ohhh...
and that mystery pipe where the map isnt correct, at the top of the surface, near that shelter, that would have gone to heat ducts! i see.

#

or i guess, ridgeworks right next to heat ducts

#

dang, the surface was made so much bigger in watcher....

#

guess that makes sense!
you can also get to cold storage from there... or well, a collapsed cold storage

#

i wonder what else in the surface is collapsed aether ridge architecture...

#

#

OH FUUUUUCK
THATS SO COOL
THAT ONE ROOM IN THE SURFACE IS THE UNDERSIDE OF THAT OTHER ROOM IN HEAT DUCTS
YO THATS SIIIICK

#

i always wondered what those machines were!!! i always wanted to climb them slugclose

sturdy beacon Oct 20, 2025, 9:47 PM

#

realized i could make it back to cold storage through migration path!

#

so instead of going aether ridge > shrouded > cold storage > stormy, i went... well, not one less region, but a much shorter walk i think xD

#

plus, officially surpassed my 1.0 playtime!!! forreal this time! xD

#

walked through migration path, and hit the 75 hour mark as the music kicked in with the big crabs...

#

it was very pretty and nice <3

#

me, at the bottom of the stormy-heat ducts path:
oh... this is one-way, isnt it...

#

me, three spears, some well-timed floating, and my walljumping skills returned to me: Never Doubt Yourself squidcadadance

#

I MADE IT!!!! FernShades2

#

... weird, why do i have a second vulture mask here xD i never met the echo here

#

...right?

#

...NO I TOTALLY DID??? HUH????

#

WHEN???

#

....sleep meds are a trip ._.

#

playing rainworld an hour into sleep meds is a trip ._.

(my first trip to ancient urban, i was also up past bedtime...)

...finding out that an amount of them... were the same place, maybe some distance apart

#

either in time or space
but by space, really not by much

#

genuinely thought i was in so many different places in 1.0, and then finding out WOAH... NO THIS IS JUST LIKE, A SUPERSTRUCTURE FR...

#

like getting to explore more of 5P or Moon's cans

#

just.
how fuckin b i g it is.

#

imagine getting lost in multiple places in the same city, and just. not realizing its the same city. like iunno took a subway or something, or a bus in a language you cant read. and only later connecting up in your mind like, where tf you are

#

favorite shit about rainworld. realizing "hold up. THIS CONNECTS HERE???"

...

#

ohhh

#

i totally could have gotten here from torrid

#

lmao...

#

huh...

#

some of the stuff in the daemon room in heat ducts... looks a lil like some fetid glen mushrooms...

#

wonder if theyre similar assets or if im just seeing things...

the flies and the popcorn plants and the ferns have me feeling like this place is kinda hot and humid though. not much air flow. but also no fire

forget how far i got

but i remember getting to the top of that room in 1.0
which, i did not think contained a portal btw

#

just
struggling
SO HARD
to get to the top of that tower
and away from wherever i was before xDD
(i think, that was where i got what-feels-like-softlocked by the axolotl and the barnacles)

#

cause id have to get there early, or else the barnacles would take up residence

#

and i breezed past there, like "i dont know where im going cause im sleepy and not interpreting geometry correctly I think, but i dont think its THAT place, cause i got up here too easily"

#

and then bam
fetid glen
lol

#

...hm..... i wonder.....

#

do flashbangs affect anglerfish....?

#

like yeah they temporarily blind anything with sight...

#

and kinda light up the darkness for a minute

#

but i kinda wonder....
would it attract or repel?

#

would this be a miros bird situation?

#

also, huh, it looked a little like some of fhe big underwater rooms temporarily lit up / pulsed with light
kinda like how a lot of other places have little breathing cycles, like thermal relays and heat ducts and verdant

the initial hunt was for IDs 18000 - 21000 >v>;;;

the hunt was paused for a few months...... but these motherfuckers were less than 100 away.....
someone DID find them! but the green of the trio was guessed as 21091, and that was the wrong green...
got the last of them confirmed this morning, via food pref, and the more obvious-to-tell slugpup behaviors (playing with items, napping or not, etc etc)

as of right now

im not... QUITE locked into max ripple yet.....

i think, if i want to explore outer rim fairly safely....

im gonna visit outer rim before im locked into max ripple

cause my biggest struggle for getting OUT of outer rim was always going into ripplespace, and dropping my stuff

when i was tryna throw spears to get past the cliff

#

oh wait-- ||the OR pearl is by the OR daemon portal||???
oh FUCK yeah

#

spoilers cause i looked something up, lol

#

i was avoiding OR cause i thought I was gonna have to backtrack from somewhere specific

#

lotta... jellyfish lookin stuff in fetid

#

(omg what, actual commentary on the game, instead of just mumbling about strategy??? xDD)

#

iunno if im seein stuff that aint there, or misinterpreting stuff cause im playin on a tv instead of handheld
but who knows! xD

#

oh cool, i got the map connected up to the fractured portal, and the verdant portal!

well if i can take them with me through daemon and i dont have to do it one at a time

#

one less pearl aint gonna kill me |D or change the rate at which i take em

i think itll be like. ||15|| total. not including ||AU pearls||.

...maybe including ||OR|| pearl...?

bwah iunno imma just do it, fuck it xD

i still got OR to explore before i even go to AU (cause i need to keep a non-max ripple juuust in case......)

...ah, i shoulda posted the visual glitch shenanigans videos earlier
WELP
i can always spoilertag them
and also im too lazy to get em anyway

#

out of torrential, off to....! .....i guess station annex!! xD
gonna take unfortunate evolution to get there.
as much as i want to see spinnychild in the hell dimension, i also have only max ripple and penultimate ripple at the moment

#

and i want to not be locked into max ripple for my trip to OR slugwhat

#

just in case slugwhat ;;;;

#

~~so i can escape OR via daemon~~

#

~~just in case i fall off that cliff~~

#

im bringing a grapple worm with me, too. fuck it.

#

i think the plan will be to explore everything above the cliff, and...
well, maybe i can drop off the grappleworm in a shelter beneath the cliff! ... if i feel confident that i can float and spear my way back above the cliff xD
the main issue with being max ripple at that point, is that I'll drop anything in holding when i try to fly up to spear-the-wall height

#

ah, left a ripple tear in torrential
... y'know, thinking about it now, i really dont leave a lot of those around xD i try to avoid it when i can
((||i heard that i should... remember where those are. or something? somewhere in pizza's chat, maybe from pizza directly. but i dont fully remember||))
((||itll be what itll be i guess||! xD))

...how do i get to station annex again >->;;;

#

gotta remember to actually look at the region map on sleep screens

#

mmk, aether ridge to shrouded stacks, shrouded stacks to cold storage, and then just. do my best, making it all the way down to station annex xD

understandable that they changed the station annex portal to be from somewhere as lategame-feels as fractured
but damn, woulda come in handy here xD

i /will/ need to come back to outer rim. at least once more after this >->;;;

i /will/ be max ripple x'''D

if the echo you meet in superhell vanilla regions raises your ripple, that is

dont think im gonna take the karma flower at the top of the throne
gonna leave it there

basically wondering if its an escape hatch, like it was in 1.0, or if it might send me somewhere 1.5-related

winged schooner Nov 26, 2025, 9:14 PM

Direct answer: ||it's just a portal that appears before you can warp to send you out, yeah. Just chooses a random regular region.||

thats what i thought, but i feel like i vaguely remember going through that portal in 1.0, dying, and then... respawning at the portal, in the standard region ._.

#

ill have to remember, maybe i have screenshots
but until im sure i prolly wont mess with it xD

but also. huh. wonder what caused that lil noise at the end of this one. couldnt replicate it.

#

oh-- and this one! like i said last night, id noticed that the ripplespawn that i was gathering, that were in eggs, were voidspawn colored when i was running around in full ripplespace
i think id noticed that some time ago, accidentally. like waaaaaay back. iunno if like, way back in vanilla regions, but a while ago.
but i thought it was some visual shenanigans

#

anyway, literally no time to get any of the other screengrabs, g2g xDD

some stoneheads that i thought were neat, running around OR

...orrrr...maybe not spoiler'd?????
who knows. mobile discord. shrug.

thought it was neat how this lined up. wouldnt have noticed it if i hadnt died here xD

and then this was the room where i was happily trotting along, thinking about how neat the design was, and how i liked the lil grates cause they remind me of AU, and huh im not sure if i remember passing through this room before but its prolly not new, nothing new in OR and--

a

(lol)

#

a few other progression shots i yook, in order to remember where i was
(and also see how much gets saved, even if i die)

answer was none, as you can tell by the rip being there in one and then not in the other xD

#

dont know why i took these. i think i just liked the architecture

#

very maze-like in that first one

#

i do love me any sort of maze-like stuff in RW

#

been working on a PMV lately, renewed some drive to do it based off of new info from watcher, and in general some better workflow
(though best workflow would be MAKING IT ON THE COMPUTER, NOT MY PHONE, LIKE A CHUMP WHO'S GONNA GIVE THEMSELF CARPEL TUNNEL L M A O....)

#

but yeah
og game being mazerunner (i remember I downloaded that when i wanted to play with the movement mechanics in a sandbox, before i decided, fuck it, lets get the actual game, and then welp one thing led to another and now its one of my favorite games xD)

#

and then the bug in the maze vibes

#

and just. getting lost in a maze, as you play RW for the first time
(i remember HI really felt like a maze! xD if i ever got into ledditing, i think having a region feel maze-like would be my #1 requirement for me to feel like id made a good level/region)

#

...
maybe i could get into ledditing for making BGs to this PMV, actually >-> hmhmhm

a thought to think for later, when im at my PC. lol.
