"is it always there and you just cant see it" thats a bit of nightmare fuel i didnt need

[@-TheUnkownUser]

If this game lore expands with more lovecraftian beings. It would be one of the best inspired by Minecraft games… Ever.

[@Rakoona]

Agreed! I think this game is not well known yet!

[@eshanroveran7850]

The lore does expand pretty deeply into lovecraftian themes so far even though it’s unfinished. A great plague destroys all living things and a great human inventor attempted to build a machine to stop the coming apocalypse. The device that he created unintentionally was/became/was destined to be some lovecraftian eldritch god of another mirror reality that exists in the same place as ours just in another “dimension” After the creation of this “machine god” thing these temporal rifts began appearing and the drifters began to crawl out of it. There’s a lot to it honestly and I did a poor job of explaining. But yea basically humanity did a fucky wucky and awoke some ancient evils from a parallel universe that is now slowly seeping in and infecting the world in a similar way that the plague once did in the past

[@Rakoona]

Think you did a good job at explaining it! And it all comes to the same thing. We f-ed up our own world!@@eshanroveran7850

[@Anathematise]

They do have plans to expand it, but from the implications I got, it won't be much, but I could very well be wrong~

[@BananaMike780]

I feel like overexplaining or diving too deep would ruin it. one of the reasons lovecraft is so good is the otherworldly mystery aspects he presents. derleth liked to explain too much I think.

[@cheezemanmkman5245]

funny thing, i once watched my friend play this game and he was off exploring a nearby mountain while his temporal gear thing was drained and he was going insane when he decided to throw a spear at it and FUCKING HITMARKER SOUND and then some ungodly screech FUCKING wrecked the entire server and made him go temporarily deaf and blind in the game ive been trying to find a video about it but i haven't had any luck finding anything about it it scared the fuck out of us😂

I think it might be slightly inspired from that movie! To bad you can't fight it!

[@rustyhowe3907]

They really do. If memory serves right The Mist monsters were Eldritch inspired as well.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsc1447]

The fact that you can never reach this thing tells me one of two things: Either A. it's only a mirage as the real creature is still fully inside whatever dimension the rifts are from or B. this creature is so ungodly large that it can be seen from hudrends, maybe even thousands of miles away.

[@Rakoona]

and it walks around you during temporal storm, We know we can't see him unless we set the view to 400 blocks... How far is 400 blocks?

I have seen them drop to their knees randomly for whatever reason, I never knew that but it sounds super interesting!

[@linnilotus]

Yep jumpscared me a good few times during a temporal storm where I’d turn around inside just to see 2 drifters bowing down to thin air instead of attacking me, almost always happened when a cat was around when I had a pet mod too so there’s def some AI coding wires that got crossed there I think lol

[@Rakoona]

A rumor that I'll have to test!

[@mornananchy495]

​@@RakoonaThis has been fixed in the current version.

[@matthewzaczeniuk4892]

During my first temporal storm I saw this thing and got freaked out thinking it was an actual enemy (I play with maxxed settings which is why I was able to see it). It seems like this thing is like the giant gears though and doesn't actually do anything for now. I think the reason it was glitching out was that those entities, gears and walker, might never despawn and just hang on players' horizons then scale up when the game detects your in a storm. Food for thought.

[@unapersonamas5941]

​@@matthewzaczeniuk4892maybe devs wanted them to not actually dissapear because thats how it is in the lore

He was called "Thunderlord" or nowadays "Dave" and it was most likely made as a way to add more horror to the game. Also when you enter rifts you don't lose your mind you just appear in the rust world💀
