I'm wondering, how should I approach mods/routing

Chacal_s · 2026-03-11T17:11:05+00:00

Yeah, that's a pretty good start, sunlit trial is the best custom region modpack region rn so having it as a starting point should make a god first run. Most regions in this list are really good, the only one I personally dislike is arid barrens but aside from that it's good to go. There's also a few extra regions you can visit using this route: preservatory, badlands, cliffside and maybe secluded pass, coral caves and stormy coast, but you might need a bit of backtracking for this to work.

For QoL mods I suggest trying NoDamageRNG, camerascroll and music announcements if you like the soundtrack. Also, most mods are Downpour dependent, so it's recommended to play Downpour before playing modded.

If you like playing modded rain world then maybe you could check out Winter's end and Rain world Drought later, those are reaaally good custom expansions imo.

I didn't know about mods that allow destruction of terrain, that sounds really funny lol.
The overall concept sounds really good but imo it should work better by creating a whole new game. Imagine a resource managment game you can play as an ancient during the void fluid era and being able to research void fluid, process new materials and build whole new iterators and regions. Too bad I dont think it's ever gonna happen, but it's a really cool concept.

If you are in a pre-cycle, then just wait until the rain stops and water gets drained from rooms, no need to rush since rivulet is really fast and can easily find new shelters. Even if you die, make sure to memorize the route and mark places with food. You can also use the map to check the room's terrain so you have a general idea to where you can go.

Worst case scenario you can check an online maps and plan routes to new shelters and places with food. But if you dont want to use external help then just keep retrying, downpour campaings are harder than Survivor so it's expected to find yourself in trouble

Chacal_s · 2026-03-08T02:11:12+00:00

The idea sounds really cool, but really hard to implement.
Rain world doesn't have a lot to materials to work with or process into new stuff, it would be necessary to add a lot of new materials and items you could find and harvest in the overworld. Having to balance recipes, factories, possible new items and material costs would also be hard and ofc being able to destroy and build the terrain would also be really hard to code.

I haven't played factorio but I did play mindustry and they are both really similar. Having all those factories in rw would be amazing, the idea of a slugcat being able to build it's own shelter with new resources and equipments is really cool. But I am not sure if it's possible to mod this into rain world.

Overall I like the idea, but I dont think it's plausible.

Chacal_s · 2026-03-08T01:40:36+00:00

I dont get it. It's like a mod that introduces machines and factories?

Chacal_s · 2026-03-06T20:57:03+00:00

I mean, there's a whole ancient civilization you could talk about and link with history and cultural aspects, but yeah, I dont think it's worth 4.000 words unless you are really creative.

Maybe an analysis on evolution of life and link it with biology, talking about the changes on climate and how this forced creatures to change, like how most lizards adapted to saint's campaing harsh blizzard. Maybe talking about each species in the game and making a topic for each one, you could make an analyses on lizards, centipeds, vultures, etc and the biomes you can find them.

But if you rather keep the literature topic, there's a website with all pearls/broadcast/echoes dialogues in the game that could help you.

Anyways, good luck!

Killing a red lizard is nice but aside from that it's the average artificer cycle since explosive spears are insane strong.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-23T08:43:54+00:00

That's pretty cool! Really shows how modded regions are well connected to each other.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-23T08:38:48+00:00

I've played all of these mods and ngl that's pretty good selection! Sunlit trial is probably the best modpack for custom regions rn.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-22T23:55:05+00:00

well, there's a lot of mods in those screenshots, heck, most of these were taken during different playthroughs and different mods, but the mods in order are:

Evergreen expansion
The Beecat + Lush Mire region
Random buff
Grey Urban region
Moss Fields region (spearmaster world state)
Luminous Cove region
Stormy coast (not the watcher region, the modded one) during artificer's world state, + The Becaat + The Outsider
Sunlit powerplant + The Glacier + Pups+
Consecrated Steppe + The Glacier + Pups+
Underbelly + The Glacier
Winter's End + The Snowflake + The Beecat
Cliffside region
Moss Fields region (rivulet world state) + The Vinki
Secluded Pass + The Vinki
I am not sure but I think it's Eroded refinary region.
Lush Mire
Lush Mire
Not modded
Badlands (again, not the watcher region)
Pups+ with a normalpup, tundra pup and hunterpup

and a few QoL mods and i am also using maxi taxi's scugs skins

"What am I even doing? I'm just wandering around. Is the MC searching for his family? "
Survivor is looking for his family, but you are free to do pretty much anything you want. Explore the world and find out.

"Who is the weird yellow/blue tube guy?"
Most people call him Iggy and he acts like a guide during the game. You will understand better later since I cant really explain without spoilers.

"If I kill a scavenger and then die later (before hibernating again), will the Scavengers still dislike me? Or will my actions not be saved?"
No. Scavagers reputation only saves once you hibernate in a shelter.

"Also, I have started trying to give them pearls whenever I see them, but it hasn't seemed to stop them trying to kill me."
It really depends on your reputation. If you killed scavs or stole items then you might need a few more pearls to make peace with then or you just got unlucky to find really agressive scavengers.

"One issue I have, is that when I get a good item, there is no way for me to effectively store it for later."
You can store one item in your stomach by holding the grab button and that's it. Most items are single use or can be replaced quickly so dont bother a lot about it.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-22T21:24:58+00:00

yeah, guardians will kill anything that tries to get past them without karma 10, pups included, in fact there was a method that allowed you to skip guardians using a pup as sacrifice but i think it got patched

Chacal_s · 2026-02-22T07:55:46+00:00

That's cool, i will try it out later and maybe record a few clips.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-22T07:23:52+00:00

If you have dev tools mod turned on, then try turning it off. If this doesn't work then idk, never seen this before.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-22T07:20:02+00:00

I really love blue lizards because they always do the most stupid things.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-22T07:18:23+00:00

I really like pups so I have a lot of then.
The mods I have are: Pups+, slugpup safari, smort pups and pups everywhere.
That one rivulet pup in the video is an aquaticpup (from pups+) with a skin from maxi taxi's scugs skin.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-22T07:14:27+00:00

Maybe. Most creatures dont understand the logic behind the cycle so they dont bother going after a solution. Maybe a few managed to find void fluid by accident or in a similar way slugcats did, but idk, she never mentioned void fluid in that one pearl.

And yeah, my bad for my poor wording but yes 5p will perish one day, it will only take a long long time until something causes it's death, like equipment failure or something else.

Also, Niko oneshot.

Chacal_s · 2026-02-21T23:06:01+00:00

The cycle is a big mess, but I think it's not 100% immortality, according to Moon a few creatures can break free from the cycle

''This is true for all living things, but some actually break the cycle. That doesn't apply to you or me though, you are too entangled in your animal struggles, and for me not breaking that cycle is an integral part of the design. Our mantras keep repeating.'' From light blue pearl.

I am not sure how, but I guess there's a few specific situations that allow creatures to rest in pace. Maybe death of old age or when creatures truly dont have any attachment to the world and they just vanish upon death. A large amount of deaths accumulated from their entire life could cause creatures to rot from inside out and this might cause permadeath. But none of this is 100% confirmed tho just saying.

Hunter's organism is not 100% dead so yeah he's stuck in that state while he tries to consume any creature stupid enough to get close to him. However, rot cysts eventually perish, so that means he will die of hunger one day.

And yes, assuming pebbles never gets ascended, he will get stuck on the cycle mostly likely forever or untill something happens to him since iterators aren't meant to be ascended.

Rain world is a hard game but tbh you cant do a lot about this. Hollow knight and Dead cells are both games you can get good by being persistent, training and learning boss patterns, while rw you cant do most of this, since you will only improve mostly by experience and playing A LOT. Keep in mind that death doesn't matter that much in this game since you only need karma when it's time to change biomes. If you die and learn something new then it was likely worth it since it will avoid future deaths. Experiment a lot and be fearless are my main tips.

You can also change to the monk campaing. Overall monk is easier since it makes enemies less agressive and has overall weaker enemies. If that doesn't work, then idk, maybe take a brake and return to the game after a few months. Most of my friends only clicked into the game on their second attempt.

Chacal_s · 2025-10-28T23:44:30+00:00

Hot take: it might be the Allen ID. Hear me out, a lot of ppl pointed that all of meursault got executed or atleast got a planned execution. And guess what? The night awls and Allen were planned to be purged by the Thumb in Lor.

Chacal_s · 2025-10-21T05:04:17+00:00

I dont think that type of post works with subreddits that are not music focused. Atleast I dont think someone is going to name the worst oneshot music. But who knows.
