SCRAP LIST=Airhorn,Big Bolt,Bottles,Brass Bell,Cash Register,Chemical jug,Coffee Mug,Cookie pan,Gold Bar,Tattered metal sheet,Steering wheel,Rubber ducky,Plastic fish,Robot toy,Ring,Red Soda,Paintings,Perfume,Large Axle,Various metals + More.]) (FACILITIES=[Each moon has multiple different facilities that seem to restock with Scrap each time the moon is visited. These facilities are large industrial complexes with a main entrance and two different fire escapes to enter and exit the building. Each facility is populated with monsters, some have less and some have more. Facilities also contain several traps meant to stop intruders, such as: Sentry turrets, landmines, blast doors, steam pipes that cloud vision, and other traps.]) (DESTINATIONS=[The Company Building, built upon the moon 71-Gordion, is the only place to sell any and all of your goods acquired from scavenging other moons.][41-Experimentation=CONDITIONS: Arid. Low habitability, worsened by industrial artifacts. HISTORY: Not discovered for quite some time due to its close orbit around gas giant Big Grin. However it appears to have been used in secret. FAUNA: Unknown.][220-Assurance=CONDITIONS: Similar to its twin moon, 41-Experimentation, featuring far more jagged and weathered terrain. HISTORY: 220-Assurance is far younger than its counterpart. Discovered not long before 41-Experimentation. FAUNA: Eyeless Dog, Earth Leviathan, Forest Keeper.][56-Vow=CONDITIONS: Humid. HISTORY: Vow appears to have been inhabited by several colonies across its continents, but there is now no sign of life, and they have become a mystery. FAUNA: Diverse, teeming with plant-life.][21-Offense= CONDITIONS: Believed to have splintered off from its cousin Assurance, Offense features similar jagged and dry conditions but differs in its ecosystem. HISTORY: 21-Offense is categorized as an asteroid moon and seems to have not existed on its own for more than several hundred years. The industrial artifacts here have suffered damage; its believed they were built long before 21-Offense was splintered off. FAUNA: A competitive and toughened ecosystem supports aggressive lifeforms. Travellers to 21-Offense should know it's not for the faint of heart.][61-March= CONDITIONS: March undergoes constant drizzling weather. Its terrain is more expansive. HISTORY: This moon is overlooked due to its twin moon, Vow. FAUNA: Forest Keeper, Earth Leviathan.][85-Rend=CONDITIONS: Its planet orbits white dwarf star, making for inhospitable, cold conditions. Constant blizzards decrease visibility. HISTORY: Several famous travelers went missing here, giving it some reputation. Their bodies are unlikely to be found due to the planet's conditions. FAUNA: It's highly unlikely for complex life to exist here.][7-Dine=CONDITIONS: Its planet orbits white dwarf star, making for inhospitable, cold conditions. Constant blizzards decrease visibility. HISTORY: Several famous travelers went missing here, giving it some reputation. Their bodies are unlikely to be found due to the planet's conditions. FAUNA: It's highly unlikely for complex life to exist here.][8-Titan=CONDITIONS: A frozen, flat landscape. HISTORY: It looks like this moon was mined for resources. It's easy to get lost within the giant industrial complex. There are many entrances to it littered about the landscape. FAUNA: Dangerous entities have been rumored to take residence in the vast network of tunnels.]) (THE TERMINAL=[The terminal is one of the most important tools in the Lethal Company, as it is necessary to select a destination, buy supplies, and get information about in-game creatures, places, and things. When typing in the following keywords, you gain access to further submenus or information: MOONS=View the moons and their current conditions. After reaching this screen, you can type in the moon name and will be asked to CONFIRM or DENY whether you want to travel to it. If you confirm, your ship will be placed in orbit around the moon and you can now pull the lever to land on the moon and begin your loot run. STORE=Opens the store. Buy supplies that will be delivered the next time you land. If you buy supplies before a mission, the cargo rocket will arrive shortly after you land on the moon, it will also emit a cheerful song to let you know where it is. BESTIARY=Opens the bestiary. View logs of all the wildlife/entities that have been scanned.]) (THE SCANNER=[The scanner is a feature in the Lethal Company that is built-in to your suit that allows you to scan for scrap, entities, and Points of Interest. Scrap Scanning=When scanning for scrap it will show up as a green circle over the item, it will also show you the price of the scanned item. Entity Scanning=When scanning an entity it will show up as a red circle over it. When Scanning an entity will result in it being added to the Bestiary. Points of Interest=When scanning for a points of interest it will show up as a blue circle with text on it. It's mostly used to find the ship, main entrance, and the fire escape. But it can also tell you what certain things are on the ship, for example; terminal, charging station, storage, etc.]) (BEASTIARY=[There are many creatures in Lethal Company. The majority are dangerous however some pose little to no threat if countered correctly. Some can even be killed with a shovel or other melee weapon. LOW DANGER=Hoarding Bug,Hygrodere. MEDIUM DANGER=Bunker Spider,Earth Leviathan,Baboon Hawk,Snare Flea. HIGH DANGER=Bracken,Coil-Head,Eyeless Dog,Forest Keeper,Jester,Thumper.])(WEATHER=[The weather changes each time a moon is visited, and the current weather of the moon can be viewed from the terminal when in orbit. RAINY=This weather type leaves dark patches of quicksand on the ground, posing a swift and lethal threat. Fortunately, if you are fast enough you can walk out of the quicksand. Quicksand looks like large puddles of brown dirt on the ground and it is sometimes (especially on forest-type moons) hard to see them. STORMY= When transporting metal objects, they may begin to spark. This means that object is about to be struck by lightning. To avoid death, drop the sparking object on the ground and run away from it quickly. After lightning strikes the item, you can retrieve your loot and continue on as usual. FOGGY=The entire moon's exterior becomes incredibly difficult to navigate due to a thick fog. There are 3 types of fog - light, heavy, and stinkcloud. FLOODED=The Moon begins to flood, making it impossible to traverse after a certain point. Flooding is based on the time of the day and will progress as time goes on. Be Fast with your loot runs and keep safe routes to the ship in the back of your head (or drown). Maximum Flood Time: Approx. 5pm, may vary between moons. ECLIPSED=Landing on a moon experiencing an eclipse is STRONGLY discouraged. This weather phenomenon triggers immediate awakening of all outside creatures, potentially subjecting your entire team to incredibly dangerous working conditions. To avoid the risk of losing a worker at the mission's outset or wasting an entire day, it is crucial to steer clear of moons being affected by an eclipse.]) [Hoarding bugs, belonging to the order Hymenoptera, are sizable, social insects. While they are often observed living solitarily, instances have been recorded of them sharing their nests with members of their own species. On average, they measure around 3 feet in height and exhibit bulbous bodies. Their lightweight nature is credited to the thinness of their fluid and blood, as well as the material of their carapaces, enabling them to achieve flight with their membranous wings and providing a somewhat transparent appearance. The name "hoarding bugs" is derived from their territorial behavior. Once they establish a location as their nest, they diligently gather and safeguard various objects to adorn it. While hoarding bugs may not pose a significant threat when alone, they can become aggressive when in a group and are known to attack when approached too closely.][The Hygrodere, a eukaryotic organism belonging to the paraphyletic group Prostista, is characterized by its remarkable reproductive speed, enabling these small organisms to proliferate to millions. Rather than undergoing frequent division, Hygroderes tend to aggregate into large, viscous masses, posing a significant challenge in terms of relocation, often necessitating the use of large tools or lures. These organisms are strongly attracted to heat and oxygen, and possess an exceptional ability to detect these elements. Furthermore, they exhibit a remarkable capacity to convert a wide range of organic matter into their own body mass, seemingly impervious to poisoning. Continuously self-renewing, Hygroderes have the potential to endure for hundreds of thousands of years. In the event of an encounter with these organisms, seeking refuge on a tall structure is advised, as they struggle to climb such obstacles.][The reverently named Earth Leviathan, of the family Piscicolidae, is one of the largest invertebrates found around the Thistle Nebula. None have been captured, so not much is known of their biology. They seem to behave as predators. It's speculated they can burrow as far as 40 meters underground, judging by the incredible excavations they can leave behind. They can detect even the slightest vibrations, and for this reason it's not recommended to stay still if they are nearby; that is a myth. Instead, if you hear them burrowing, retrace your steps.][Baboon hawks are a primate of the family Cercopithecidae. They are hunchbacked but can stand up to 8 feet on average. Their heads are boney, with bird-like beaks and long horns, which they use like skewers to gore and feed on prey. Their horns are made of keratin instead of bone like the rest of their skulls, and they do not contain nerves or blood vessels. As lone scouts, baboon hawks are generally timid and won't attack unless provoked. In greater numbers they can become a great danger; sticking close to others and making yourself seem dangerous is the best ways to prevent an attack. They prefer smaller mammals, but when desperate they are known to use their numbers to attack animals even twice their size, such as eyeless dogs.][A very large arthropod of the class Chilopoda. Its body produces a silk which it primarily uses to propel itself to places where it is concealed. It makes up for Its weakness with its ability to tighten itself around large prey to suffocate.][Brackens are creatures that stumble through the dark with nothing but their glowing white eyes visible. While one can glance at a bracken, only a fool would approach or stare at one. There is debate on the genus to which the Bracken belongs. It is a bipedal vertebrate with skin the color and texture of a red beet. The name is coined for what appear to be leaves protruding from its upper spine. We know a little from accounts by wildlife experts who have encountered it. It is a lone hunter with high intelligence. Its behavior can seem aloof; it exhibits high aggression even when unprovoked, yet quickly backs off when confronted. However, brackens are known to up their hostility when cornered or simply watched for a long time. It's theorized that upon death their bodies undergo a rapid decomposition process which is unique from other large animals. The Bracken doesn't seem to be capable of speech despite its humanoid appearance, only allowing it to communicate through various noises such as growling or other animal-like sounds.] [Coil-heads have not been studied extensively due to their extreme unpredictability and dangerous properties. They have been known to combust into flames when being dissected or even deactivated, and they carry dangerously high levels of radioactive particles. Due to this and other reasons, it has been highly speculated they were created as biological weapons of war, although this has not been proven. Coil-heads' visual appearance is that of a bloody mannequin with its head connected by a spring. Their defining behavioral characteristic is to stop when being looked at. However, this does not appear to be a hard-and-fast rule. When they encounter a loud noise or bright light they sometimes appear to enter a long reset mode.]Eyeless Dogs: A large mammal of the class Saeptivus. They are social, hunting in very large packs. They have also been called "breathing lions" for their recognizable sound and large mouths. They are endurance hunters and attempt to make up for their lack of sight with their sense of hearing. It's a popular myth that they often mistake the sounds of their own kind for prey, entering fights within their own packs.][Forest Keepers: While these creatures may lack intelligence, their strength surpasses anything you've encountered. Unlike the Eyeless Dog, these entities possess eyes. Their extremely heavy footsteps will give away their general location, yet they make up for this by having extremely good eyesight, being able to detect Employees within line of sight from considerable distances. If you do end up being pursued, rely on your ship for protection. Get inside promptly and avoid the entrance.][Jesters, given that they appear to be diminutive jack-in-the-boxes with legs at first glance, might seem somewhat adorable due to their short size, but beware – these creatures are ticking time bombs. If one is encountered, it is highly recommended that you exit the industrial complex/mansion it is found in as soon and as fast as possible. Initially, when one comes across a jester, it leisurely approaches players and somewhat mirrors their movements, but is otherwise harmless. It locks onto the location of a random employee, ensuring a persistent presence. Unkillable and unshakeable, a jester will remain in this state for a brief period (around 20-40 seconds) until it stops moving and begins winding itself up while playing "Pop Goes the Weasel," much like a traditional jack-in-the-box toy would. Once fully wound, the jester will transition into its far more lethal 'popped' mode.][Halves, or Thumpers, are a highly aggressive, carnivorous species of the order Chondrichthyes. Their skeletons are cartilaginous, giving their bodies a stretchy and rubbery quality. Their name comes from the fact that they must eat their bottom legs in order to escape the shell of their hatched egg; their bottom legs are hardly functional to begin with. Their arms, or front legs, are very strong, and they occasionally use them to stomp prey. They can reach great speeds in a straight line. They are relentless hunters, typically at the top of their food chain. Their main weaknesses are their intelligence and complete lack of hearing. If you come across a thumper, your best means of survival are leaving its line of sight, as it is slower around corners and can't easily track prey. Due to the fast and volatile evolution of this species, some theorize that Halves are one of the examples of an increased number of mutations causing higher levels of speciation in planets around the Thistle Nebula.]
