*spoiler warning of the video's lore* The symbol shown during the transmission at the end translates to "L F" (have not been seen in a previous video). The ancient speaking (Betwixt the Frozen Leaves) is the administrator/creator of Silent Light. And he turned himself into the tree; the mask remaining, the torn clothes fused with the wood. The echo was a companion of Betwixt before attempting ascension. ps. The Gas Worm is just Daszombes showing off his love of siphonophores.

[@PIXELSHIFTINC-EMMORTAEL]

The symbol at the end is also the symbol for the scholar achievement

[@deeznuts-kw6yv]

He turned himself into a tree, funniest shit I’ve ever seen

[@Toolgirl64209]

So while Silent Light was writhing in the decaying tower of x-treme asceticism that would make a Jain monk blush, the guy responsible was turning himself into a tree??? Huh. That feels… unjust. Oh well.

[@rawhead1486]

Would be cool if we came across a iterator in this concept called "Pierces-the-Storm" where thanks to the cold temperature, like half of their water supply and the tower itself frozen and they're in a constant state of overheating and malfunctioning, making the tower you climb up to get to them extremely dangerous. Idk, just a thought and the concept of The Glacier is awesome Keep up the good work!

[@aarepelaa1142]

Well they wouldn't have set up there without a plan for that cold of a temperature, and idk in what world is overheating a problem there, they could just have put heatsinks outside, probably creating the warm spots that the lizards stay on.

[@procellae6572]

@@aarepelaa1142 maybe instead of hiding in shelters from the rain, you can hide in steam rooms so you can store heat for the next cycle

@@aarepelaa1142 could have been a result of the iterator on the environment, or the precursors themselves, slowly changing it into this after they were gone

[@saltananda3227]

@@procellae6572 I'd assume there wouldn't be rain, but instead a snowstorm/blizzard comes along (for above ground), and with it the temperature drops so if you're below ground and not in a warm shelter you'll slowly freeze.

⁠@@StarlighterTheFurrySaint doesn’t exactly fulfill that niche, though. Aside from CL, as well as a couple modded regions, they basically slapped on some background snow and a freezing system and called it a day. It’s more “winter” than polar survival.

[@theplague5803]

Concepts Frost cactus This plant has evolved like a cactus to reserve water but due to the extreme temperature differences in the areas it lives in it can come in two variants. Cold. In expansive snow fields light is reflected so to absorb more light it grows in the formation of a pillar with a wide fin in the upper mid section these cacti can not be eaten while in their cold variation due to the flesh being completely iced over. Heat vent variant. This variant grows in the same pillar formation as its other variant but instead of a fan it grows a lot of spines that can be taken and used as worse spears at the top of this plant it forms an edible bulb that can heat you up and be a pretty good food source. Field variety. This kind acts like a teddy bear cactus in the real world it is covered in many spiky detachable clumps that will slow you and hurt but if you have a stick you can collect some to scare away enemies Spewer. This creature looks like a vulture but with. GIANT BUG LEGS. This creature hunts by spraying a bile that expands and freezes in snow, becomes large sharp spines in ice, in water it will spread out and than turn into a large stringy structure that can ensnare you, in steam vents it will cause an explosion of hot gas, on metal it will frost over and become slippery, on flora it will cause immediate corrosion, and on fauna it will cause it to be frozen in ice Last. Vent deer. This creature derives from the same species the rain deer came from but it is much hairier and it has thin tubes on its back that smoke comes out of this creature is a mystery but sure is helpful

[@very-mean-spirited-lizard]

This looks like a very promising concept. I am amazed of what the rain world community is capable of. Never thought there would be that much coordinated effort.

[@katsucandy]

hell yea this was amazing to watch. love the creepy bits like the fungi growing from corpses or the fuckers who leave their eggs on a corpse so the babies can eat it (and then resort to cannibalism). what a delightful region concept

[@Corvin_Ito]

[@jigshawpuzzle]

@@elrinconbarato7494 yo good question!! It's possible it could catch prey, since it feed would need to have a wide surface area to step on snow properly, but at the same time, their jaws and harpoons and sashes are much more powerful than their legs, so they may not end up using them

[@Phoenix-kn8uk]

I like this! It’s like sub regions of the map that can be accessed, but once accessed must be completed to exit, they aren’t required, but can increase your max karma amount even higher for each one, for example, there is one echo here, so there would be one extra maximum karma amount that is optional!

[@thegoon5987]

Considering it just came out, I'm going to assume it will be great because of course it fucking will be. Do you seriously think it won't be? Extremely proud of everyone involved. Edit: I was right, its incredible.

[@raisinsun4328]

My personal theory is that the caretaker of the greenhouse, via whatever totally not magic ancient technology contraption he put himself through, became the fungoids. What better way to see your plants slowly grow than having them literally grow on you? Them seeing the plants in a religious light lines up with the way the ancient sees the greenhouse too, and if the fungoids knew about it then it would probably become their holy land.

[@guineapig67890]

IF I were to be able to make rainworld mods that are really good, i'd make these regions. It would be long but it would be worth it.

[@heyeat2641]

I see that after suffering enough, Daszombes has decided to play some easier games, like monster hunter. Really, that must be very relaxing. To dodge and weave and stab, without dying in one bite, losing your karma, and not being able to find the next resting place.

[@Zorro9129]

These are awesome ideas! I love the creativity and thought that went into this ecosystem. The kelp bulbs in particular seem to resemble sea squirts more than any plant. Though, a few too many creatures use freezing as a lethal mechanic. Sentries in particular might work better using electrocution.

[@uwumacaronitime]

my problem with the tower was that it was mostly just a lot of very samey lizard variants or extensions of concepts in the base game already, I'm glad that these are starting to incorporate more creativity in them.

[@aarepelaa1142]

The glazed glizzy biome should have some sort of an icy river going through, as you know, water destroys basically everything to get to where it needs to be and the cave city makes a ton of water. And then also probably some loops to where ever green house is and other biomes so you don't need to go back the same route you came in from.

[@xxgwanstheskelegamerxx8369]

I love this and if no one else does, I want to turn this into an actual mod!

[@me_when_asd]

You better start coding

[@BlueFireDrakka]

you could have an iterator who looked at all the cold animals and feeling bad for them, realizing that they basically turn into a giant hothouse when they limit their water intake and start over heating so they turn parts of their insides into little habitat vivariums for wildlife to take refuge in while they basically are sort of half insane, a kind of crazy cat lady type character who is thrilled to bits at the sight of the slugcat finding its way inside, another friend safe and warm for them to take care of. any lizards inside of them could be weirdly docile and are more a hazard of stealing and eating any food the slugcat holds, but thats more of an annoyance rather than a hazard since theres food everywhere, since the iterator makes sure the animals are well fed so it can focus on keeping itself hot enough to keep its Vivariums warm but not so hot it overheats and malfunctions. maybe they could be called something Like, light in the dark. the hazard of Light in the dark being when slugcat tries to leave, its not safe out there little friend, you have to stay here, where its safe and warm... which gives double meaning to the Light in the dark name, not only is it a guiding light to help guide the way to safety, it can also be a trap, like an Angler fish, its light is enticing but get too drawn in and its jaws snap shut. and as an added bonus, depending on how high/low slugcats food is when they get to Light's Puppet Chamber, they will comment on how fed you are and either remark that you're so good at finding food cus look at how well fed you are! or are a bit concerned you dont have a full belly cus those silly lizards must have yoinked all the food they're so greedy sometimes, and will drop enough food down for you to fill your hunger pips. you can also slightly troll Light by not eating the food right away and after a few seconds they'll tuck themselves in a corner of their chamber to give you space or spawn in some different foods. if you continue not to eat the offerings, Light will assume the slugcat prefers to hunt live prey and drop in a fat glow mouse for you. if you kill the glow mouse Light will praise the slugcat for being such a good hunter.

[@rockyclouds2]

I have an iterator concept. Rocky Clouds In The Nights, or RCITN, you can find this iterators puppet in it's old frozen compound. It's clothing is an icy blue, frozen most likely, and it's own body colour is a minty cyan with hints of icicles all over the poor thing. When you enter it's chamber you can find it sat hopelessly on the floor, pearls in frozen piles in the corners or sides of the chamber. When it sees you, you catch it off guard. But it does eventually speak to you, albeit obviously damaged by the ice. "O-Oh! I-I wasn't expecting a, uhm creature down here, especially with it being oh s-so cold. Heheh..." "Uhm, m-my name i-is Rocky Clouds In The Nights, b-but pleas-se call me RCITN or Nights." "A-Actually... n-now that my eyes ha-have focused bett-er... you don't look adapted to here at all! And, you h-have a mark..." "I-is pebbles a-active? Maybe e-even moon! O-or Sliver of Straws! I haven't heard from the three of th-em s-since my com towers fell!" "I hope their doing better then me atleast... wait... if you aren't adapted to here. You aren't from here, are you?" "Which means, you found a way over here... s-somehow. If you plan on going back, please... take my puppet with you... I want to talk to moon, pebbles or sliver of straws again." (First encounter dialouge) (Second encounter dialogue) "O-oh! Your back!" "Hello again! Did you come ba-ck to t-take me to one of the other three?" (Leaving after second encounter without puppet) "N-no? It's okay, I can wait!" (Leaving after second encounter with puppet, after finding a way to disconnect it of course) "Thank you, I'm uhm... sorry you're having to use both hands to drag me..." (Extra dialouge, because y e s) If you somehow managed to get RCITN to LTTM: "m-moon, is that you?" (Response) "It's me, RCITN!" If you somehow get them to pebbles (not chamber): "Yeesh, w-what happened h-here?" Pebbles chamber: "P-Pebbles, what h-happened to your compound..."

I think the reason the land should be frozen is the same reason the mainland are accosted by rain, cause an iterator ( maybe his name is "reaches for fire" or "gives the gift of fire" is working on a project or calculation of such high magnitude that he had begun to overheat to an absurd degree. And being uncaring of the world left behind his coolant systems have began to overwork to the point where is has incased the lands in ice and why every cycle comes a fatal snowstorm.
