Is it random? The lunar grotto exists from the ocean leaking down into the caves, so it doesn't seem too strange for a whirlpool to drop you off into another lunar area (the "vault" in this case).

If anything, the "egress" that you jump into to leave the vault feels more like a placeholder, especially since it drops you right on top of the sealed portal for some reason. Although maybe the vault is canonically above the archives?

Yes yet we don't get into grotto from the ocean either. We get there by exploring the caves, and we get to the subsequent archives also through the caves while staying in the same shard. There is never any direct connection of Lunar Island and Grotto besides the trailer. It would make for a logical progression to access archives 2.0 by using the sealed portal in the archives since it has the same theme and similar designs, and is an artificially built area like a temple, not a random naturally occuring organic biome. Having it be accessed from the surface (and from the ocean nonetheless) makes as much sense to me as if they made us access  AG arena through a random door  in a pig house in the middle of a generic evergreen forest.

Wow, this feels so random. Why is the entrance to the archive-like underground area located in the random waters and entered via a boat crash? Why not through something more fitting, I don't know...like this Sealed Portal that has no other purpose anyway? Or did they just forget this thing exists?

Preach it brother! (or sister lol)

If we're talking about that, then lunar grotto itself is random since it's open glued to the main branch of the Caves when it should not be since being...a grotto you know.

I get your explanation but I'm with lovens and objectively it is random. You could have lunar island all on the top left of the world and this giant whirlpool all on the bottom right.

I'm also heavily more preocuppied about the gameplay and design aspect of it. Entering such "advanced" and difficult levels at 2 centimetres from the spawn (yes it can happen) feels very wrong and not rewarded. Explorations should be rewarded, not random blessed with RNG. I get it Don't Starve is a rogue-like but come on. I expressed it further on my post.

This whirlpool is something the community have asked Klei to do, something like a downpour from the ocean to the caves, instead of only being the stairs.

True! But not like this, not quite.

The Lunar Grotto existing at all is how you explain the new location. That lore was established with the very first Return of Them update that saw a huge chunk of the moon break and crash into the ocean of DST.

That “chunk of moon” is the Lunar Island, and its islets nearby, it’s also how the Lunar Grotto down inside the caves (the area with visible water leaks in the ceiling) exists at all..

Klei explained in the very beginning that Lunar stuff would cause strange mutations throughout the game world, they even have several animated sequences that show it in action dating back to when they first started doing RoT updates.

Its how “RockJaw” Exists as a Shark that’s also half rock, And it’s how Wobster dens in the actual game look normal when NOT spawned near the lunar island stuff & become Crystalized when they ARE spawned near the Lunar Island stuff=

this isn’t just something Klei came up with like “hehehe let’s do funny whirl pool that leads to new area” this is a concept they’ve been cooking for a long time that is finally being woven together to make sense.

sorry if someone already replied this but the ocean is full of sunken chests with ancients loot, as someone who goes after them alot this makes perfect sense to me. also in lunar grotto theres water flowing from the ceiling and theres a bunch of other references to water like the fountain of knowledge

[Milordo]

Just a guess, but maybe Lovens didn't meant why the entrance is in the water, but why it's so random in the ocean, which they're correct. It shouldn't be at random at all, especially with that importance, gameplay and design.

How to calculate the chance to obtain an item in a weighted loot table: 

Chance to obtain Item (%) = ( Weight of Item / Sum of All Weights ) x 100

 

Edit: I think the ones with the -- symbol at the beginning are comment lines. They don't affect the chances. You can ignore them.

How to calculate the chance to obtain an item in a weighted loot table: 

Chance to obtain Item (%) = ( Weight of Item / Sum of All Weights ) x 100

I'm shocked there are zero cut grass and zero twigs in the current loot table. Especially on the first biomes of the first level like savanna, forest and pianure. Absolute bonkers. It's one of those things that if you play the videogame comes to mind immediately, while as a dev you could forget.

There are more efficient ways to get Dreadstone/Pure Horror. I think this loot is kind of bad.

I think this table shows the loot per segment. The creature can extend up to 35 segments. Someone here mentioned obtaining 70 dreadstones.

I tested it here and that's it. Loot is good. Between 20 and 30 dreadstones

How to calculate the chance to obtain an item in a weighted loot table: 

Chance to obtain Item (%) = ( Weight of Item / Sum of All Weights ) x 100

 

Edit: I think the ones with the -- symbol at the beginning are comment lines. They don't affect the chances. You can ignore them.

What location would be "RUINS_EXTRA_AREA"?

Ruined Guarden. It doesn’t sound familiar.

Maybe ancient guardian and  labyrinth
