i was thinking that it could be fun to have a rainworld mod where neuro and or evil is a little slugpup that can be carried around the world, that way neuro can play and be cared by the player(probably vedal) also making possible a fun neuro rainworld gameplay

it would be cool as well if they could play safari mode and take control of a random creature for a cycle
the controls are already pretty jank and there are at most only three actions any creature can make other than movement

i feel like they're going to be stuck twitching in a corner for a third of the streams

for movement it could be as simple as pathfinding to a pipe or another creature
or if they get stuck they can just switch to a different creature

I've also thought about how to integrate Neuro/Evil into Rain World, here's my idea: Let her control a pink overseer that follows the player throughout the campaign. This overseer could then "possess" a nearby creature like in safari mode, but instead of directly controlling it (real time controls are hard to do with the API), she could modify their relationship with the player or other creatures. This way she could for example make a predator afraid of the player, or make a scavenger attack a lizard that grabbed the player. Naturally she could also decide to make Noodleflies attack the player unprovoked, or make other creatures go out of their way to target the player instead of other prey.
From an implementation standpoint, I don't know how feasible it would be, as I'm not familiar with Rain World modding, but at first glance it seems simple enough. I'm pretty sure Rain World runs on Unity, so there is already an SDK for it.

would a Neuro-controlled overseer replace Iggy?
like Neuro would be able to point out the direction to food/shelters

I think Neuro's overseer should be separate, since Iggy is part of the lore and also gives tutorials. Neuro would be a different iterator in-universe then since she has an overseer.
Would be cool to have Neuro be visitable actually, so she could read pearls or do other iterator things
Another option would be to replace FP and LttM with Neuro and Evil, but I'm not so sure about that since it would rewrite the lore.
If I ever have too much time I'll try my hand at Rain World modding and see if that's possible

I think a Neuro overseer would violate the lore anyway since the whole place is on lockdown
although that can just be ignored

I would love to see this happen somehow.

Is it? Spearmaster and the red overseer got there just fine.
As did all the other slugcats actually
sharp falcon
spearmaster was before the lockdown
anyway overseers can’t enter FP after spearmaster or before rivulet
and other colors of overseers only appear in subterranean or outer expanse on rare occasion
eh lore accuracy is not important though

I would like to keep it at least somewhat lore accurate (so probably no replacing iterators) but I think the lockdown can be ignored

instead of bringing stuff to a Neuro iterator (which would require some region modding), she could be able to identify whatever slugcat is holding when asked

That's a pretty good idea. Reading data pearls is also definitely something she should be able to do. Not as in-game dialogue, but as a context message (basically she would get Moon's or Pebbles' description or a combination of the two).
sharp falcon
should it be limited to whether or not slugcat has the mark?

I don't think so, otherwise a lot of the integration would be gated behind FP
sharp falcon
good point

That sounds very cool

So apparently, adding custom creatures is an absolute pain, nobody knows how it works, and all mods that add custom creatures are closed source. I think I got the hang of it now, might take me a few weeks though depending on how many more problems I encounter. I'll open a project thread when/if I have something to show.
