• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Next to the outer wall.
I thought it was proved that the game maps don't line up perfectly anyway. Besides, whatabout things extending in 3 dimensions and whatnot?

Anyway the whole idea I was getting at is: screw making it fit maps we know, why not make something completely new up? Then you can easily alter it to fit whatever happens in the storyline, and seeing as the whole island is collapsing, it's not hard to believe sealed passages are opening and resealing amidst the falling rubble.

Sorry I just assumed which wall you were talking about. But it is still pure speculation.

Also:
Why would Curly move towards the collapsing wall that could crush her instead of away from it?
Where is the rubble?
Where is the rock?
How did she get the Nemmy if she was at Cthulthu's place the entire time?

I'll repeat what I said:

I don't know, come up with something! She doesn't have to be in Cthulu's place, she could happen to be wandering anywhere in the Plantation. Sure, give her a side trek to grab the Nemmy! Sure, maybe she was somewhere else! Why did she go into the tunnel? That's just a detail in the scene: it just happened to be that the way the ceiling caved in, it was the only open path. I mean, what would you chose? Area full of collapsing roof, or relatively sturdy-looking hole in the wall?

If you don't like the details, modify them! That's the whole point! It's a completely new area of the island for which there is no map, so MAKE SHIT UP to explain things you don't like. That's all I'm saying.

Mabey the crack opened up into the littles house. They are fairly close on the map.
No. Plantation and littles house (littles house is just below egg corridor on the outer wall) are nowhere near each other, and even in the possibility that they are that close to each other even 3d cannot rule out that egg corridor and plantation cannot co-exist in the same area as each other.

Sorry but I don't have much appreciation for theories that are based on pure speculation. What you are doing is "making shit up" which is annoying for people who like to back up their theories when you are saying "your theory is wrong because anything is possible, so there!". I am pointing out that your events don't fit, sure your tunnel is possible, but there are no signs of rubble or the rock that hit Curly on the head when you find her in hell, or the Cthulthu himself.

Cthulhu's pretty mysterious – maybe he gave her the Nemesis!

Maybe even led her to the Sacred Grounds. He's always seemed to know more than anybody else. Maybe he can see the future. Or knows some sort of legends. Who knows?

Sorry. Carry on.

My old mod had a whole plot centered around the mysterious Cthulus. I'll have to write it all up.
Remnants of the human explorers who died in the red flower war for trying to protect the mimiga from the robot soldiers?

Nope. They were the original inhabitants of the islands, and genetically engineered the Mimigas out of rabbits as an experiment- the rabbits had been accidentally teleported from the surface. Their culture gradually became self-destructive as they began to fight among themselves, and one of them finally found that they could use the red flowers as a weapon. Alas, the power of the frenzied mimiga was too much for them to control, and they were all killed except for the one currently in the game, who was a complete lameass and went into hiding.

Yep.

I have another one about Toroko and Arthur's heritage (King's children).

The backstory specifically states that the red flowers were used by the Mimiga as a last resort to fight off the soldiers from the surface, but not until after heavy Human and Mimiga casualties.

It's the new illicit drug. Who needs weed? There's Red Flower!

It needs a street name though.

Red Spore sounds like a better name.

One could argue that there are in fact three Cthulhus in the game! Or at least two.

What about just Red? There have been sillier street names than that.

There is only one Cthulhu, just... at more places simultaneously.
