WHY ARE THERE || ROT LIZARDS || EVERYWHERE AND WHY DO THEY RANDOMLY || DISSAPEAR||

[balmy lantern]

Why are your graphics like that

[lean ledge]

mod that changes up colour palletes sometimes

i jus like it

uhh ive noticed this is progressing to more areas as cycles continue (dying and surivivng cycles)

[lean ledge]

whole party going on here

WHAT THE FUCJ

[lean ledge]

HUUUUUUUUUUH ??

why is it || gold ||

WHAT IS THIS THING

[brisk burrow]

Oh it seems everyone has neglected to inform you:
You do not need to spoiler tag anything past the first message in your own thread

(When you do, it makes it harder to read through, as well )

[lean ledge]

aaa okie

i wuz doin it for anyone who hasnt experienced it yet, to not be spoiled n stuff

[brisk burrow]

If you'd like to continue using spoiler tags... uh, I guess you can? But anyone who clicks on the thread is already consenting to being spoiled

[lean ledge]

goootcha

[brisk burrow]

But yeah, if they haven't, then they shouldn't be anywhere near here anyway

[lean ledge]

okie dokie

thanks for lettin me kno

[lean ledge]

AW HELL NA WHAT THE HELL

i aint goin in that i wana explore

[lean ledge]

what is this

im right above it but theres nothing to be seen

weird pulsating thingy

it dont do nothin when i get close tho

[lean ledge]

i love whatever these things are

screenshot

i love aether ridge

also i hate heat ducts

welp whatevet the white thing is killed a vulture but i died in the process

[balmy lantern]

You sure you wanna keep that palette mod on? It's overriding the cool natural palettes

[lean ledge]

I like the randomness of it

[brisk burrow]

Some of the Watcher regions have REALLY unique palettes

Changing them kinda just takes away that unique design, and will make the regions way less memorable

A mod like that is second+ playthrough material

(Also will make it harder for us to guide if you ever need help)

[lean ledge]

aaa okei ill take it off then

also note to self dont eat the small critters in rusted wrecks they give poison

mlem

[lean ledge]

WHAT ARE THEEEEEEESEE

[lean ledge]

im blue aura

i freaking HATE WORM GRASS

[lean ledge]

he l p

[lean ledge]

what

i just threw a spear ata pink lizard and it phased through the ground

awesome shelter design

are these like the big moth's chuldren

[lean ledge]

A lizard got manhandled by 4 big moths and now theyre feeding their young with its body

coloured moth

[lean ledge]

Lol vultures keep showing up and then immedietly leaving once they see the six big moths here

Theyre still feeding on that red lizard

[lean ledge]

A red lizard came along and died by the moths

[lean ledge]

A vulture legit just kidnapped a moth by its head

Tbeyre still feeding

A whole fourty mins later

[lean ledge]

cold storage

[brisk burrow]

Refrigerator

[lean ledge]

WHY ARE THERE ROTTED LIZARDS HERE

I ESCAPED ONE SOMEHOW

[lean ledge]

does this mean that echo is in these regions

FINALLY GOT A PIC OF ONE OF THESE GUYS

WHO THE HELL ARE THESE

i rifted to a new place and WAS SPAWN CAMPED BY A KING VULTURE

this is so pretty

[lean ledge]

i love signal spires

[lean ledge]

turbulent pump is oddly dark..

last time i was here it was much more lit up

dark shelter

[lean ledge]

this is totally not concerning

rot this close

idk if they can go between places like in real time

[lean ledge]

what the hell

theres so much rot here in cold storage

the annex area or smth

[lean ledge]

w h a t

this isnt pebbles is it ..

WHAT OS THAT WHAT THE FREAK

WHAT THE ELL IS GOING ON

[lean ledge]

YAY HEIGHTS

buildings look oretty kewl

wuhar

[brisk burrow]

Oh, you're using SBCameraScroll...

I've heard it can cause issues in some places, but no idea where

(Also I just personally dislike the mod )

[lean ledge]

i just rifted and was brought back here

only way i havent gone is left so

[brisk burrow]

Looks different from before

[lean ledge]

indeed

plus more purpur things

yeahs so everything is dimmer than before

more darker

[brisk burrow]

Dark, darker, yet darker?

[lean ledge]

also when i sheltered it said there was rot in this region but ive seen none

lilke on the map it shows when u shelter tjere was the rot surrounding outer rim's icon

i found it

whar

since when are they closed

i fucking died

[balmy lantern]

Is the shelter bugged

[lean ledge]

dont think so

[balmy lantern]

Then what happened

[lean ledge]

watcher thing i guess

[balmy lantern]

That's not a watcher thing

[brisk burrow]

...So it's bugged, is what you're saying?

[lean ledge]

huh

lol whar

[balmy lantern]

Well, what else do you expect when you're using a million mods

[lean ledge]

actually

im using zero regions

[brisk burrow]

Regions are not the only mods that bug the game out

[lean ledge]

most mods i have are either atmospherics or other small things

[balmy lantern]

Sb camera and a palette mod

[brisk burrow]

Again:

[lean ledge]

that can bug it ?

[brisk burrow]

Oh, you're using a palette mod? I didn't even notice

[lean ledge]

im not

[brisk burrow]

(Or maybe sarc was just pointing that out as an example, nevermind )

[balmy lantern]

Sb camera is the most famous buggy mod

[lean ledge]

removed the palette randomizer mod a while ago

[brisk burrow]

Oh riiight, that was your thread

[lean ledge]

how canit bug shelters TwT

[balmy lantern]

Yes you are

[brisk burrow]

Exactly

[brisk burrow]

.

[lean ledge]

wuhr

[balmy lantern]

Why's your aether ridge yellow

[brisk burrow]

@balmy lantern

[lean ledge]

that was the palette randomizer thing

[balmy lantern]

Ahh

[lean ledge]

its removed now dw

[brisk burrow]

[balmy lantern]

Good to know

[brisk burrow]

But it's probably SBCameraScroll anyway

[balmy lantern]

Yeah maybe

[lean ledge]

ill remove camera scroll

and re check

[balmy lantern]

If issues keep happening in future then verify files on steam maybe

[lean ledge]

okie dokie

[lean ledge]

shelter works now :3

[balmy lantern]

epic

[lean ledge]

\ive thrown spears at it and nothings happening

im tryna send a pivcture rn and my wifi is being slow

[brisk burrow]

Ah

[lean ledge]

what is this

here

this thing

it wont do anythung

i ate the karma flower

[brisk burrow]

Maybe it doesn't do anything

[lean ledge]

hm

it has to

im gona throw spears more

[brisk burrow]

Well, if you can't figure anything out, you can always come back here later

[lean ledge]

ive been everywhere else in the region

[balmy lantern]

Looks important

[lean ledge]

do i need to find spinning top again ?

[balmy lantern]

Perhaps is a dead end for now... trek back, but keep your eyes peeled on your way. You never know how circumstances may evolve

[lean ledge]

ive lowkey been avoiding him

[balmy lantern]

[lean ledge]

?

atp ive been eberywhere in outer rim

so ima jus rift away if i cant do any more here

[balmy lantern]

Could give it a try

[lean ledge]

okie

fuck

it said smth already binds the place

I DONT WNA GO THROUGH THE ROT AGAIN

[brisk burrow]

Well, what do you see if you go back down?

[lean ledge]

ill give it a shot

what

was able to rift here

im back in sunabked alley

[balmy lantern]

nice work

Now you have a road back... for when your curiosity beckons again to the mysteries of that area

[lean ledge]

yipeeeeee

[lean ledge]

huh

whys it in the middle

question

do each places we can go have 3 rifts in each

cus some places ive been ive only found 2

also do these feather thing mean theres spinning top

cus they look exaclty like the things you see when near echos

someone tell me plz

its like the only conclusion i can think of

[brisk burrow]

What do you notice about the regions that have the feathers?

[lean ledge]

no clue im tryna make my way over there

[brisk burrow]

I meant about on the map, actually

But yeah, if you go to those regions, you'll be able to figure out what the feathers mean, I think

[balmy lantern]

There's no pattern

Some may have more than 3, some less will just have to explore well

[lean ledge]

oooh okie

im realising now there was a part of aether ridge ive not explored

[lean ledge]

i speared a lizard and it noclipped into the ground and died

[lean ledge]

that vulture is the same vulture whos mask i yoinked

[lean ledge]

shit i guess were golden now

waht

I BEG YOUR PARDON

do i make a rift here

tell me yes or no

cus its not doing anythung on its own

it didnt work

[brisk burrow]

What did you end up doing from there?

[lean ledge]

i jus left

im lookin for new rifts to places i havent been

i am now in torrid desert :D

no clue what the place is

wahr

i think were lost gng

what the fuck

what did i do

[brisk burrow]

OAOAOAOAOAOAOA

[lean ledge]

[lean ledge]

OAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAOA

WUHAR

WHY ARE WE UNDERWATER

[lean ledge]

why are there 2 pole plants on the same pole ............

[lean ledge]

i hate badlands

[lean ledge]

fractured gateways

BIG WHALE

i think im missing 1 or 2 regions here

also spinning top isnt saying anything when i find him

idk if thats normal

[balmy lantern]

It's normal

[lean ledge]

what the music is scary

[lean ledge]

shattered terrace is so cool

how do i do this

ive done the camouflage thing and i can see spinning top behind it

how on earth do i do this

[balmy lantern]

Move on and you'll get the question answered for you pretty soon

[lean ledge]

what the freak

im so confused

what

why are they golden now

[balmy lantern]

Seems worth revisiting them

[lean ledge]

seems so yeah

[lean ledge]

good lord i jus realized

i hit 200 hours on march 25th.. of this year

[lean ledge]

whar

[brisk burrow]

Why is your worm red and white????

[balmy lantern]

Candy cane

[lean ledge]

i just

i just watched spinning top dissapear

what the fuck

ill get the video i took ina sec

its too big to send here

frick

[brisk burrow]

Upload to YouTube?

[lean ledge]

i can get a google photos link

[brisk burrow]

A what?

[lean ledge]

tho my pc sucks at uploading virtually anythin so im doin it a different way

https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZWVy8UToYky5xfzw7

here we go

i had to put it onto a usb drive and upload it via my dads computer

and the game hasnt ended

so im not sure what else to do apart that spinning top is now gone

is there like an ending related to spinning top ? cus i know that theres like 4 endings or smth

someone tell me cus i swear there is one with spinning top

[brisk burrow]

I think you should keep playing

I'm sure you'll discover more in due time

[lean ledge]

that i will but im really confused

[brisk burrow]

As you should be

[lean ledge]

spinning top just decided to leave the plane of existence

so i guesss no more spinning top

w h a t

HUH

THAT WAS IT

THAT WA SADORABLE

THE CREDITS ARE ROLLING

[brisk burrow]

...Yeah I was waiting to say anything on this for a reason

[lean ledge]

i can see now ........

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

i clicked continue and got this what the freak

[brisk burrow]

Wait what-

[lean ledge]

uhm

idk

what

[brisk burrow]

You aren't supposed to have that achievement yet-

[lean ledge]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[brisk burrow]

How did you-?

[lean ledge]

IDK

i clicked continue

when i loaded in

bright white flash

then i got achievement

[brisk burrow]

HUH?????

[lean ledge]

IDKKKKKKKKK

IS THIS A BUG LOL

[brisk burrow]

Oh 100%, yes

[lean ledge]

XD

LOL

[native sable]

whaaaaaa

[brisk burrow]

My question is... how?????????????????

[lean ledge]

I HAVE NO CLUE

[brisk burrow]

You're not even supposed to be able to GET that achievement in Ancient Urban-

[native sable]

reminds me of that time when i was playing subnautica below zero in beta and just randomly got the final achievement that wasnt even meant to be obtainable yet by just doing nothing

[lean ledge]

how do i un get the achievement

[native sable]

yo uh... dont

[lean ledge]

has to be a way

this feels wrong

[brisk burrow]

We'll tell you when you were SUPPOSED to get it, I guess

...Though I'm worried now that you missed out on what was supposed to happen

[lean ledge]

if id have to guess its tied to an ending isnt it

[brisk burrow]

Do you notice anything else in game?

[lean ledge]

not yet i havent left the room

ill play a lil

[static ember]

watcher lore

[lean ledge]

the game seems normal

[static ember]

congrats on victory

[lean ledge]

i got an achievement im not supposed to have-

[untold dagger]

[untold dagger]

that's really weird though 🥹

maybe mods did something? i'm not sure

[lean ledge]

dont think so

i barely have any mods that affect watcher

all i have

okay so i searched it up

@brisk burrow

i can still do the ending

the achievement is tied to meeting whoeber the weaver is for the first time

but the ending itself is still doable

[brisk burrow]

WHYYYYYYY

[lean ledge]

MAN

[brisk burrow]

I could've told you that

[lean ledge]

hey at leaast i can still do the ending

how am i supposed to get said ending i have no clue

[brisk burrow]

That's what you have to find out yourself

[lean ledge]

yes >:3

[static ember]

i mean its your game so you can do what you want but searching stuff up has a massive spoiler risk - you can easily get around it by asking one of us

keep in mind watcher is basically your last chance to have a unspoiled playthrough

[lean ledge]

yeye ik

[static ember]

have fun !!!

[lean ledge]

[lean ledge]

I MET THE WEAVER GUY I THINK

is it the big gold creature

[brisk burrow]

They're not supposed to be able to spawn in Ancient Urban, so...

[lean ledge]

I left ancient urban

Yoinked a karma flower and rifted out

[brisk burrow]

Yes, I was just referring to... how did it happen earlier???

[lean ledge]

Whar im confused

Like how did i get the achievement ?

[brisk burrow]

'Cause I'm pretty it does a flash like this when you get an encounter, so...?

[lean ledge]

There wasnt a flash when i met them

Not at like first time anyway, fhe big gold creature talked

And then it ended like any exho

Ill re check the recording tho

yeah so

when i got close enough the big gold thing jus started talking

and once it was done it did like this thing that ended with my screen going white and everything returning to normal (no ripplespace)

that was it

so i think

that game accidentally did that flash sequence when i entered the game

somehow

[brisk burrow]

Yeah

????????????????????

[lean ledge]

either way i did the thing that gets you the achievement

i think so anyway

[lean ledge]

i rifted to torrential railways and holy theres rot here

what the hell

all ive been doing goddammit is rifting

i find a karma flower

and rift

over and over

I WANA GO TO SIGNAL SPIRES CUS THERES A GOLD THINGY I THINK THERE AND THERES CONNECTIONS TO MORE GOLD THINGYS

ive found the weaver twice so far

i love 4 achievements today

[lean ledge]

whar

i have yello tail thing

[brisk burrow]

Oh yeah DMS messes with this, doesn't it-

Shouldn't be a spoiler to tell you this (though I wil spoiler tag it anyway): ||Your eyes are supposed to become yellow||

[lean ledge]

its likely cus im using a custom thingy

[brisk burrow]

.

[lean ledge]

yeh

stormy coast with rot is so weird and i hate it

[lean ledge]

what

i eat a karma flower and my eyes turn purple

[lean ledge]

hm

ive become more yellow and fluffier

and the weaver spoke of some understanding idk

wait whar

the yellow things around the regions are gone

what

im clueless now wth

[brisk burrow]

When did you stop seeing them?

[lean ledge]

just now

fourth time i met the weaver

WAIT

i rifted

and it DIDNT USE MY KARMA FLOWER

thats new

w h a t

due wtf

i keep going back but when im there the goddamned rift spawns me over the void

what

im here again

it did this whole thing of talking to me and smth about joy

but its not doing anything

do i need max ripple level ?

so i repel rot somehow

nice

thats what the gold halo thingy is

@brisk burrow help-

[brisk burrow]

?

[lean ledge]

im back at this throne place

[brisk burrow]

Yep

[lean ledge]

and it wont do anything

[brisk burrow]

Yep

[lean ledge]

it did a whole thing abt talking to me

[brisk burrow]

Yep

[lean ledge]

saying smth about joy

only thing i can think of is that my ripple level isnt high enough

cus its not at lvl 9

[lean ledge]

did this whole thing

[brisk burrow]

If you can't find anything else new, you can leave again and check back later

[lean ledge]

hm

it has to be the ripple level

im all powerful hehehehehe

woooooooooah

wait what happens when rain falls here-

[lean ledge]

okay so max ripple didnt work

going into ripple space didnt work

what the freak

[static ember]

[lean ledge]

so the rift thing in outer rim didnt do anything

IM SO LOST

WAIT

WAIT

THOSE RIFTS THAT I COULDNT ACCESS BEFORE

ima try doin that

[lean ledge]

the amount of time you can sink into a campaign is nuts

whar the hell

theyre moving

i gotta do a non karma flower warp to get outta herer

hoping it doesnt bring me somewhere crappy

im in torrid desert :D

[lean ledge]

this is new

yello lines between places

[lean ledge]

Peak

[lean ledge]

whaaaaaaaa

so i tried doing ripplespace at one of those rifts i couldnt access and now im here

so theres rifts to other places

interesitng

pretty

woaaah

so the purple circle thing in outer rim hasnt changed

[lean ledge]

whaaat is that-

so when going into ripple space theres the same thread things that would lead me to the weaver when being near a gold rift

but here it goes nowhere

ends in this room

hm

second time now ive seen this

interesting

so its closing up the ritfs

rifts

the line between desolate tract and the surface is gone

lol

so i found another gold rift

there were the thread thingd around it but not much more

lovely

theres definitely more yellow lines uh-

[lean ledge]

so i found more of the threads in coral caves but they lead to a rift but no weaver

[lean ledge]

so update

more yellow lines and less rifts

all ik to do is close them so thats what im doing

[lean ledge]

that was insane

im still able to continue though so im not sure what else to do

[balmy lantern]

Congrats!

[balmy lantern]

You will find out very quickly

[lean ledge]

actually no im quite lost

all regions except like 4 (ones accesible via daemon and ancient urban) are all closed off

like no more rifts

and the glyph thing in outer rim hasnt changed

do i go to the throne room ?

[balmy lantern]

Last time you went to throne, stuff happened

[lean ledge]

it did ye

but the orb didnt do anything

[balmy lantern]

Seems like something worth repeating don't you think?

[lean ledge]

[lean ledge]

[lean ledge]

its essentially physically not possible unless its some crazy situation

what the fuck dude

this was a masterpiece

i dont know what to do now

[balmy lantern]

[lean ledge]

First one ive ever cried to so

I need a moment

Tho pearls are interesting :3

[tepid reef]

Completely understandable
