This mod breaks spearmaster campaign. Or well if you start spearmaster campaign it breaks, if your already in a campaign / not in a gate and go in a gate room your game freezes before you can enter it

Are there any plans for an update?

The mod doesn't work with the current version of the game. The pearls no longer interact with the gates at all. I tested it on v1.9.15, and that still works completely fine. Hope this gets updated at some point, as it is a must have mod when it comes to reading pearls, otherwise it becomes extremely tedious having to travel to Moon every time you want to read one.

please fix im too lazy to travel my way to looks to the moon without dying mutiple times thanks

Hey author, this mod is awesome, but since the watcher update the game freezes (in a particularly strange way) whenever a player gets near a karma gate. Please update the mod when you find time, I'd love to keep circumventing the intended method of lore gathering.

I confirm, the game soft-freezes when you approach a gate.

it would so awesome, it would be so cool

It freezes near gates like the previous commenter said

Please update this mod to support the new game update!

I think this mod keeps freezing my game? Whenever I get to a room and/or screen that connects to a gate my game will freeze completely. Admittedly I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it is this one.

@Bodmin it picks one mostly at random, but if you take the pearl out and put it back in again it'll switch.

What happens if there are multiple iteraters capable of reading pearls? Which one does the gate "contact"?

While playing as Seer, and having only met Chasing Wind, the first time I read a pearl via the gate, Chasing Wind said hello three times before reading the pearl. I couldn't find anything that seemed explicitly problematic in any log (there was no relevant exception in exceptionLog) but can send them on request.

@Ram3 that should now be fixed, thank you!

I'm playing as Gourmand in the survivor campaign and the gates aren't reading the pearls. I have cheats enabled.

placing a pearl in a gate in an Artificer expedition will have Moon read it instead of Pebbles

oml I hate the bob copypasta, gtfo of here bob !!!

theres a little problem with Hunter Expansion:If install this along with Hunter Expansion,in the gate OE_SB,when use the pearl to open the door,the pearl always in wrong place.May caused by these two mods both raise the pearl

The cheat only fulfills the requirement that you meet Looks to the Moon - it does not help if there's something actually preventing her from talking to you.

@ThanksEwan Looks to the Moon is unconscious at the start of Hunter's campaign, so they will not be able to receive your messages until revived.

heya ! love this mod, it's inspired me to do a pearl lore playthrough. However, I want to undertake this as hunter. For other scugs, it works just fine but when I start a new hunter run and try to read the pearl I start with, nothing happens? I have the Moon requirement cheat checked in the settings and from what I understand, Hunter starts with the mark of communication. Watching others hunter playthroughs, it seems the dot above the head doesn't visually appear until iterator interaction. Any thoughts or answers? Thank you !

@cookiepants that is intended behaviour - you need to talk to Looks to the Moon first . You can remove that requirement in the mod's settings, if you want.

you need Scholar if you don't have it already (or you need to meet an iterator, i'm not sure which one)

Love the idea but it is not working for me, specifically as Saint, carrying the red pearl from Farm Arrays (Desolate Fields) to the gate to Windswept Spires. The gate tries to read it and then drops it while flashing red

@Lolight2 make sure to record it so he can fix the issue, i dont have the same issue (I havent used the mod yet) but i want to make sure no one has to suffer from your problem

@mariomakerguy I will try to keep an eye out while playing to see if I can figure out exactly what might have caused it (or atleast some way to recreate the issue)

@Lolight2 this is definitely not intentional - you should be able to carry pearls through gates normally if you don't want to read them. The gates do turn off once you start reading something, but you should be able to use them again once you're done.

I am unable to replicate this issue. Do you think you're doing anything unusual that would affect it?

@Dr. Silk to be fair you can't swallow them so you're just permanently holding them.

Something weird seems to be going on, I don't have logs, but it seems that some gates only open if you throw your pearl at them first.

I am not sure if this is intentional, but if it is, it would be cool to have a toggle for it! :)

(Someone in my Youtube comments mentioned a similar issue, I dismissed it at the time but it seems they were right all along)

as a Spearmaster main, words cannot describe how fucking much I LOVE that this mod exists. I would argue that Spearmaster has more difficulty bringing pearls to be read than any other slugcat.

This mod made me get a NullReferenceException after leaving the karma gate of Subterranean > Shoreline (can send logs through discord/pastebin if necessary). This seems to be very much reproducible because I lost all of my karma before disabling this.

It should be fully compatible with modded pearls. I have not yet tested it with modded slugcats, though.

This is an awesome mod! Just wow, are you planning on adding compatibility for modded pearls and slugcats as well?

This mod is an absolute blessing, thank you so much for making it! Now I can finally explore the pearl collecting side of Rain world, never thought I would see the day!
I included this mod in a short video i made about essential mods, you can see it here!

Feel free to include it in the workshop page if you feel like it!

I think you need Scholar Passage

so how exactly does this work? can i just go to a gate and get a pearl read?

And yes, it updates the Collections menu.

Yes, it is fully compatible with MSC.

So many questions haha, is it MSC compatible? Does 5p or lttm read the pearls? If both, what determines who does? Do pearls read in this context get added to the in game lexicon? Really cool mod idea, I'm excited to check it out. Thanks!

good idea I will see how it works.
