ah, yeah that requires lediting unfortunately, i didn't change any of the room connections to creature dens (they're just broken pipes now)

Sorry, I meant a den for other creatures (creature den)!

that's actually not a geometry change! you can just change the pipe to connect to a different room and it should theoretically change the icon for the pipe i think? not sure cause i've actually never messed with changing a shelter connection into a normal room connection before

Also, how do I make quick edits to a room's geometry (e.g. wanting a specific pipe to be for room connection instead of a den)?

WARC_E01 is forcibly disconnected from WARC_A06 and WARC_E07, which would lead to that room otherwise.

Also pretty funny that WARC_E03 goes straight to WARC_E06 (though watery piping floods, like it's raining, when day breaks). Everything else about the accessible map works OK. Best of luck with the level- and region map-editing stuff (of note since Fetid Glen is an alternate version of Salination)!

yeah looking back on it the fetid glen rework was way too finnicky to throw together correctly so there's a lot of small oversights with the room connections and stuff that have major effects. i'll get to fixing them in the next update. if you can tell me what room you got softlocked in that would be helpful

Yo, this mod's super fun. I took a shine to Verdant Waterways and Fetid Glen for your takes on their respective ecosystems (and fun gameplay lol). There's also a feeling that Aether Ridge regions are separate places in spacetime (apart from evidence of mod subregion connection).

There are some small bugs with Fetid Glen: going there via Salination makes a portal back that overlaps with the gate to Signal Spires, a diurnal Infant Centipede has the 0.3-length label instead of AlternateForm, and diving through the bottom of WARC_A06 softlocked me. Also, passing the hard-to-climb drop in Thermal Relay makes the warp two-way at Salination (but not Coral Caves-Turbulent Pump, surprisingly). Wonder if that and some WARC day/night label "discrepancies" are something you're rollin' with.

Still, I love how many Downpour creatures like Aquapedes, Yeeks, and Mother Spiders diversify the "gameplay design". And why do i imagine elite scavs jury-rigging thermal relay coils for electric spears :D

leditor

level editor. lets you make room geometry

leditor

also might finally have room geometry changes cause i'm learning how to use an leditor. will probably save that for the update after it though

working on a big new update for this. it will finally be actually balanced and properly playtested before release this time!

@Numerous Stones
that is vanilla behaviour
after a certain point the game will always send you to outer rim, i am unsure of the requirements yet

thank you, now to just find the mod that is causing this

seems like it could just be random chance? it's not this mod though.

i am unsure if it is this mod or another, but attempting to bad warp keeps sending me to outer rim, is that intentional?

@User Profile
what is that a reference to?

@B.L.U.S. When do WE get the blizzard field and Laser breath Genome?????

also i accidentally broke the tags while making it so it no longer includes cosmetics or watcher. i'll add them back later

IT WORKED! UPDATE IS OUT I FIXED TORRENTIAL RAILWAY CREATURE SPAWNS GO PLAY IT

okay i used a separate program to try and update the mod, i really hope it worked

okay i'm trying to release the update and for some reason the game keeps saying something with the metadata is invalid.
i tested a duplicate of the mod by uploading it privately and only changing the name and description and it uploaded just fine
so there goes my plan of pushing out a hotfix tonight!

@riley_ my problem with blizzards is by far not their power and such as watcher can go invisible allowing you to just pretty much ignore blizzards unless they get stuck in a pipe

i just don't like how they look and act

they make no sense for me

also wow din't know basilisks were like that

eh i'm fine with the wiki page being like that, especially since it means people reading the wiki page for the mod won't get spoiled on some of the cooler stuff i did.

yeah blizzard lizards are poorly designed, but watcher qol fixes them to solve my issues with them at least (removing the wind entirely but keeping the laser). but kaeporo themself has stated repeatedly that they are an apex predator, so i changed the spawns to account for that.

basilisk lizards are just 100% poorly designed and still fundamentally broken (you can't tame them at all because they don't track sound sources like black lizards do), not to mention entirely unnecessary and overdesigned as shit. fetid glen has plenty of issues already, and black lizards need more attention anyway.

@riley_ yeah thats the fan mod wiki for you
i would recommend either requesting an update or take down of the page if it displeases you enough

also yeah idk why the basilisks are the way they are, like why do they give the mushroom effect when close?

also screw Lazer lizards, kill them all
its not even that they are powerful, never had a problem with them because watcher can go invisible, they are just like the dumbest creature ever

(i had this opinion before even watching the htwo video as a played watcher day 1)
as Htwo said:
"Oh my god i hate the blizzard lizards, Im going to talk about it again, the blizzard lizards are SO DUMB! They make no sense biologically, they make no sense mechanically, they don't hunt anything, nothing hunts them, they just there, they just a guy in the world that shoots A LAZER BEA-!"

i read through the wiki and it left out a bunch of features lmao. mostly focused on the creature spawn changes (which is fair), but i should mention they left out the main features of the stormy coast and outer rim reworks AND didn't pick up on the thing i was trying to do with the rotten region reworks

it does, interesting.
also yeah i made blizzard lizards less common cause they're turbo unbalanced without watcher qol and they're an apex predator creature anyway, so they should be rare to account for that. might make em more common though, depends on if i feel like working on this more

wait this has a wiki? what?

i am not adding basilisks back in until they are properly fixed, just like the fetid glen rooms that i removed.

I am sorry but i am NOT playing this mod if it removes basilisks like the wiki page says it does, i liked all the other changes but i need basilisks, they are the point of fedit glen and there are frogs that get rid of the poison they are one of the most intresting unique lizards and you got rid of them!?!?! Yes i am a basilisk lover (if you removed/made them less common blizzards lizards i will be even less likely to play this mod they are my favorate lizards in all of rainworld and the main part of the surface and are already too unused) I do love all the other changes if you fix removing the really cool new lizards i might play this mod again

homunculus

fetid john, why is it so funny to me

nvm it wasn't the dynamic rift it was just a regular random rift spot. i fixed it!

okay! cool! good to know videocult put that outer rim dynamic rift together in the worst way possible!
i'll get to fixing it in a bit

It warped me there When I was in outer rim

that and the golden lights from the VoidMelt effect can help with visibility and fit perfectly with the multicolored LightSource objects i put everywhere

fetid glen has a subregion called fetid john, which consists of all the rooms i made inaccessible. if you're able to go in those rooms, something went wrong.
and i added very weak void distortion to fetid glen because i like how it looks and felt like it was a much nicer-looking alternative to the CosmeticRipple spam the region normally has for making the whole experience vaguely look like watcher is tripping out

Why the hell fetid glen is called fetid John????? And why does it have void distortion effect????

Ah, thank you so much!

i edit some files in the mods folder on my computer, open the game, enable the mod, then go into remix menu and press an extra button on the mod that uploads it to the workshop

How do you update mods on the Workshop btw?

thanks for letting me know, i was worried i had missed some

Going through the left pipe in Fetid Glen C03 freezes the game.

WARC_F03 wasn't connected correctly, when you disconnected C09.
WARC_F03 : WARC_C09, WARC_F05 - C09 should be C03 then.

@riley_ i was complaining about the lazyness of the devs not really the region

it was fine i guess
music was probably the best of the dlc though

meh, i liked verdant waterways. i just felt like turning it into undergrowth and making the outdoor rooms indoor ones. we barely have any green in rain world anyway, most of undergrowth is either pitch black or drainage system with snow

jesus christ they should at least add godamn decorative tiles

the people who made watcher can't be real persons jesus christ

Soory IG? Still some really good changes

verdant means green
also wrayk said that verdant waterways is green because of algae or something, and then he didn't include plant objects to actually reflect that fact cause he didn't wanna put very much downpour content in the region

I think my favorites so far are Cold Storage &Verdant Waterways.

Verdant, next to Turbulent Pump, was my least favorite region before because it's green color scheme was boring and nonsense, just a series of rooms that are green for no reason. It didn't feel "verdant", just green. But this makes the place feel decayed, like it's covered in algae and humid enough to grow plantlife. Much more... "alive" than Vanilla.

fetid glen rework is incompatible with visible glen mod btw, using that mod together with this one will either ruin the new palette this mod adds to fetid glen or the other one will just get completely overwritten, depending on how they implement it
