Rain World

Rain Meadow
Emote Legend
i think it would be useful to work together and make a list of the emotes in game and what they mean when used since they may not always be clear which can make communicating difficult. what're some common emote combinations you've seen that you can glean meaning from?

also, i'm not talking about the obvious emotes like the yes/no or the creature portraits, but the karma symbol (like the waves, plants or the broadcast symbols)

I whipped something together based on my experience of Meadows so far! I'll admit I feel like I was hitting glyphs WAY more than anyone else but I'm also a massive nerd about rain world so.


Moving Up-Down Left-Right through the list (not counting ✔️❌❓ ❗ ofc)

Loading Icon [Wait, Slow, Hold]
Dotted Line to Circle [Travel, Route, Go]
Four Circles under Angled Line [Together]
Three Slugcats [Group, Travel Group]
Karma 3 ( ƎE ) [Friend]
Line coming out of ground to 4side shape [Unlockable Plant]
Echo [Echo]
Shelter [Shelter]
Region/Karma Gate ( }{ ) [Gate]
Rain Meadow Icon (K5 with more flourish) *
* I use this specifically for communicating to other players to return to Outskirts through the pause menu. Usually a lot of [Wait(Pause) RM Travel], using [Wait(Pause)] & returning to Lobby for a moment to make the Wait->Pause connection. complicated but it works
Karma 5 /↑\ ... I think I've only used this on accident I won't lie. Shoutout the Fifth Karmic Bind, Survival
C with line on top (Scholar) Used on occasion when talking about iterators but that's it so far. no porls to collect in meadow </3
Communication Dish [Sky Islands, Communication Arrays(SI subregion)]
Box with curved Ǝ (said symbol is 'Knowledge'/refers to Iterators) [Iterator]
Circle with four little lines. Not sure but I've been using it as an "An unlock!!" when finding them with others
Plants and Stuff. [Outskirts / Farm Arrays(?)]
Gear & Brick looking thing [Industrial Complex]
Pipes [Pipeyard/Subterranean] (Mostly Pipeyard because everyone's playing with Remix and Who's Gonna Go Down ??)
Waves [Shoreline]

Phew. Anyway, on to some combinations I've found use of. ! ? & Arrow all can be added for extra emphasis/flourish/etc

[Wait (for) Group] (probably my most used)
[Travel Group Together Question] / [Travel Group (region glyph) Question] "Do you want to come with us / to (region)?"
[Route (region glyphs)] Explaining routes
[Exclamation Arrow] You can change the direction the arrow points with Right Stick on controller, this is VERY useful for going "hey guys!! back here!! there's a thing!! wrong way!!" or pointing to Meadow shortcuts in-world et cetera.
[Wait Group Together Gate] [Group Wait Travel Gate] & etc. "Wait for everyone before going through the gate" or getting people to follow TO the gate to wait. etc
[Echo Group Arrow] Echo ahead / in this direction, follow (they require three players to unlock)
[Travel Shelter Wait ... Checkmark] in Meadow, most people go past shelters but I personally make sure to enter them for passage use at a later point.
[Iterator Shoreline (Friend)] Looks to the Moon
[Iterator Industrial SkyIslands] Five Pebbles
Alternatively, [Iterator Arrow] and point at them. If it works it works!!

Anyway that's all I can come up with for now. time to play meadow!!

Waves [Shoreline]
This is very helpful!!
I have a couple things to add on that might be used? I dunno xd (I'm also used to Meadow emotes so that might affect it a little xd)
The waves I often use to just say "water", (same thing with the plants and stuff being ground, pipes being pipes, etc.) sometimes I'll add X, dead emote, happy emote or the check mark depending on context (happy to find water playing as a salamander, unhappy to be in water because of slow swimming, stuff like that xd)
Dunno about this one, but I've seen the communication dish also used as internet connection? I think xd
One player was lagging, then cut out, and another used the communication dish and X, I think-

After writing up this list I discovered the wonders of comms dish, dead, and X, exactly as described!

A lot of them are contextual as well ofc, i've used the waves for water as well but for destinations/etc it's shoreline mostly yeah
