im waiting patiently

@Elsa Fogen I would imagion that pebbles is on the brink of collapse though, if possible could you add tremors/screen shaking to the close to the leg on the rotten exterior, i think it would add to the ambience, not sure if its possible though.

@Square-brackets if pebbles fell, how the hell rotted regions have rain then

@Square-brackets Rotted exterior could exist due to [spoilers] the fact that the rot originated from spinning top's rifts, [/spoiler] for example if spinning top created a rift in metropolis or something then the rot would probably infect the exterior BEFORE it weakened the leg enough for it to collapse, you have to remember the rot does damage things, but it does damage things a lot slower than pebbles rot, the reason spinning top saying "sea of lumps, forever" is because they caused the rot to enter the region in the first place, so then in the future the rot would have taken over the area, for example in the prologue the rot is actually spreading causing the "goop" to appear, in the future it has spread enough for it to have taken over the area. but i am probably looking to far into this

rotten Exterior cannot exist due to the fact all rotted regions take place after Five Pebbles collapse and into the future.

"It is too far" "After a point it’s all like this" "Sea of lumps, forever"-Spinning Top

got some ideas for regions name. are you still looking for one?

well, this sounds fun actually... at least i can just add gates and that's it lol, but anyway, i'm not making rooms from zero, i'm editing existing ones, it's much more less effort, than creating whole new region... maybe i'll do this...

when this eventually gets finished do you think you could add an option to make this mod available for vanilla scugs too - a bit like the really old rot-world mod (though i know that means lediting a lot more rooms so i cant blame you if not lol)

It's called More Rotted Vanilla and Downpour regions

i guess i should change it next time tho 😅

I have thought about this but how will sky islands be staying up? The rot would have destroyed the supports anyways i do love this idea and could you say what the name of the mod menu is in the description? its different in the remix menu i spent ages trying to find it

I got that fact from a video but now that you mention it i think there was something else, i know sometimes it what i said though just not sure when

Ohhh this is useful
I think it's more complicated though, and depends on the progress of the plot in outer rim (if yk yk), but i don't remember exactly. I think after the first time you'll always end up in OR, untill it's fully grown, then 50/50 (OR or rotted region), and after the rot ending it switches to this scheme (but i may be wrong though)

It is set where a bad warp leads you! (not where it takes you outer rim or rotted regions) Your first bad warp will always lead you to a rotted region, after that if you are in an uninfected region you will warp to outer rim, if you are in an infected region then you will always warp to a rotted region

that would be great! Can we contact in dm, here or in discord to discuss?

I would like to volunteer to make some music for this

ah ok, thank you

It's base dlc's feature, usually means that you need to visit the throne. I think if you bad warp after the ending, it has more chance to bring you somewhere new
But also if you warp in one cycle too many times (until your ability meter is full purple), any next warp will throw you in rotted region

i am unsure if it is this mod or another but attempting to bad warp keeps on bringing me to outer rim, i remember seeing a comment somewhere with the same issue, but as to which mod i have no idea

rotted the rot when

kind of sad the watcher didn't have more of these, really interesting to see how much of the world went to crap. i don't know if we'll get more of these as canon in the next watcher expansion update or if they just didn't include these so the game doesn't die. will probably be really cool (and painful) to wander around these (btw rotted five pebbles is already in watcher and unfortunate evolution)

Honestly I'm curious of how Looks To The Moon would be in Shoreline, maybe we could even speak with her?

would like to see 5p even tho probably should not in LORE, idk could add a toggle for the region and block off 5p puppet room
tho i would rather not see poor moon in the state the strain of the world is in during the watcher campaign (she might be sad :( me no want moon 2 be sad)

for exteriors name you could do smth like "decaying shell" and for farm arrays you could do "Twisted fields". idk thought they sound cool

Can we contact in discord?

Heard you were lookin for help with some songs. I could help if you're interested.

Thanks, I'm happy that you liked it, but tweaking chances of getting anywhere is beyond my ability. i can ask about it, but this is just how random works. I end up in chimney somewhere 1/3 times on average, and Loloight spent 2 days trying and never got lucky. I asked my frieds to test and they didn't seem to have problems with that. but i ended up in rotted outskirts naturally like 3-4 times (considering that I've been bad warping like 100500 times), and on my first run i almost always got teleported to drainage. And i think i saw industrial more than any other
Startistically speaking, when i add more regions, chances of getting somewhere new will be higher, just because it's gonna be more regions lol

This is a very cool mod!! It was HARD, but I got through it. Great fun. Can't wait for other regions!! Potentially, could you add a setting where you alter relative probabilities of each rotted region coming up? I spent soo long warping trying to get chimney canopy....

But I’m here brah…

man

i know pebbles wont be seen in this but i feel the key thing to differenciate this, is the idea that maybe the blue rot and the purple rot are separate entities, and they're both in a way, fighting to see who can consume pebbles

rot cysts eat eachother after all

I thought for sky islands name to be “Blightbound Heights” or “Crumbled Aerie”

genuinely excited for the next update

well, i guess chimney canopy is always going to be chimney canopy

Unfortunate Takeover

Uhhh... this is a really good one, but what I enjoyed about the rotted versions from the watcher dlc is that it wasn't plastered with the same rot walls that insta kill you like in downpour, you could actually move in between places and find it enjoyable by looking at the weird and corrupted versions of the world you knew, and the watcher developers did this right, when they put rotted walls, they usually do it at places like the ceilings or stuff where you can't just fall into by mistake, (or just slightly grasp and then die, like when you're climbing upwards) I like this idea a lot, having rotted versions of the base game, but a lot of those places are just the normal rooms, but filled with rotted walls, just like in downpour, that's not fun!
Good job regardless, I don't wanna downplay the scale of this, it's gonna be super difficult having to design like 18 regions filled with rot haha

Okay it's me again! Just wanna update a couple of the ones I think I have better ideas for names, but I'll post the old ones and the new ones here!

-Chimney Canopy to "Collapsing Towers"
-Sky Islands to "Eclipsed Skies"
-Exterior to "The Origin", "Hollowed Prison"
-Farm Arrays to "Expired Countryside"
-Shaded Citadel to "Abandoned Village", "Infected Citadel"
-Shoreline to "Polluted Seas", "Polluted Oceans"
-Subterranean to "Darkened Caves"
-Metropolis to "Decommissioned City", "Run down Sanctuary"
-Outer Expanse to "Invaded Refuge", "Gloomy Jungle"
-Pipeyard to "Broken Sewers", "Putrid Pipelines"

Pipeyard - Eroded Filtration-way, Outer Expanse - Outcasted Infestation, Subterranean - caught outlet, Shaded Citadel - memorial grounds, Sky islands - reached sanctuary, Chimney canopy - chosen gateway (As in everybody goes through CC to get to pebbles), Farm arrays - grounded upsurge (upsurge is what a locust swarm is I think, and farms die bc of locust so y'know), Shoreline - stagnant collapse, Metropolis - apocalyptic municipality (thank you google), Submerged Superstructure - Drowned Corpse/Infested Corpse. And the other timelines bc Watcher can time travel (go ask Stormy Coast) Waterfront Facility - Waterborne Contamination, Looks to the Moon - Old Body of New Pests. And Rubicon for good measure - HellVirus. HEH, no need to thank me /jjjj I came up with these in 5-10~ minutes but they're good enough for me, hope you like 'em!

I'd suggest maybe Five Pebbles but I have a feeling the interior might just be one solid rot-mass at this point in time.

i think the exterior would have subregion names instead of just one name for all of it, based on unfortunate evolution's name being close to the name of its corresponding part of five pebbles. none of the other regions with rot variants have subregions though so they can't be referenced

visiting pebbles, (or his corpse) sounds sick as hell

the iterator place in the rotted regions is probably supposed to be the iterator the prince consumed, maybe a corrupted pebbles would be pretty sick imo

lotta names from different people for the exterior specifically
-The Husk/The Shell
-The Origin
-Exuviae
-Necrotic Carapace
-The Festering
-Putrid Edge

gonna be hard to pick just one

Since it's controversial whether the Sentient Rot is the same as Pebbles' Rot, I'll suggest a name for rotted Exterior:

"The Husk"/"The Shell"

I'm not extremely creative with names, but I think a simple name will get it across. By now Pebbles is almost certainly dead, and it's likely his Rot or the Sentient Rot have eaten most of if not all of the purposed organisms within. I definitely hope all the Rot is dead/mostly dead like in the secret region, just something to differentiate it from Rivulet's Rot.

Icepalace's "Necrotic Carapace" is pretty sick too, and does something similar to what my suggestion is, so I'd totally vote for it.

Also to reply to B.L.U.S. extremely late: Rot isn't exclusively a Pebbles thing as pearl dialogue from the basegame implies that he's not the only one who has had the Rot, just that it's "pretty bad".

Just as the Prince intended nod nod

Maybe you could add proper connections to all the rotted regions so we can explore the rotted world with only a single warp

Ever since Watcher I have been fascinated with what more places would look like rotted

First of all, let me say how much I love this idea! I really wanna see this it sounds so cool lmao. Anyways, I wanna put all the region names I thought of since why the hell not!

-Chimney Canopy to "Collapsing Towers"
-Sky Islands to "Eclipsed Skies"
-Exterior to "The Origin"
-Farm Arrays to "Expired Countryside"
-Shaded Citadel to "Abandoned Village"
-Shoreline to "Polluted Seas"
-Subterranean to "Darkened Caves"
-Metropolis to "Decommissioned City"
-Outer Expanse to "Invaded Refuge"
-Pipeyard to "Broken Sewers"

I much prefer some of these more than others...I just wanted to try and think of one for all of them. I might update some of these if I think of something better but those are just a couple of ideas! Anyways cool looking mod keep up the good work!

farm arrays could be pestilent fields

name idea for chimney canopy rotted fog

front page pog

@Icepalace Boss Part B Loop this is such a good name damn, but other variants also so cool... iv'e gone from no options to too many options way too quick LOL

@Fierian i of course cannot forbid someone to make mod with the same idea, i just want to be first, because i feel like is someone would do this before me, people would think that i'm copying and was "inspired" by someone else, or can straight up accuse me in plagiarism
