As The Moon Slowly Falls

I was convinced not to stop working so the project isn’t canceled.
As The Moon Slowly Falls, also known as Moonfall in subpages or As The Moon Falls., is a mod for Rain World taking place in an entirely different region on the planet.
== Plot ==
A world on an Earth far in the future, rare electromagnetic mineral substances had been found on the moon, and investments in technology led to power plants, mining rigs, and more systems stripping the astral body of its resources. Eventually, a stray asteroid collided with the moon, hitting an array of nuclear power plants: decimating the dark side of the moon, and slowly propelling it to the Earth.
During this controversy, updates in the new neodymium self-healing robotic slime led to further development in self-learning ai. As a result of testing, the prototype unintentionally became self-aware, taking control of its first test subject and subsequently creating an invasive species that aided in wiping out humanity. Leaving power plants without proper care and causing the temporary eradication of the environment.

=== Lunar Showers ===
Lunar Showers are events that occur every 20 in-game hours. Due to the moon's orbit becoming more elliptical as it started its crashing sequence, it is seen to split apart every time it gets close to the Earth, causing a Lunar Shower event. (For some unknown reason, but likely magnets within the moon's surface, each time the Moon is further from the Earth it reforms, happening less and less as the game continues.) The Lunar Showers are dubbed "showers" because of the moondust burning up in the atmosphere, releasing extreme light and energy waves.
The Lunar Showers, besides looking cool, set off a ripple that goes into effect as a wave of sorts. This ripple causes many different things to happen in each zone.
* In Ruined Metropolis, the ripple simply acts as a large earthquake. Signified by the rising in intensity shaking of the camera, vibrating of the controller (if on console), rumbling noise emitted, and the huge, shattering moon in the background drifting along the skybox.
* In Overgrowth, the ripple does the same exact thing as Ruined Metropolis, however slightly more fatal. Water will begin floating as if there is no gravity.
* In Subpipes, the ripple causes the entirety of the system to flood in waves. The initial flood is almost always fatal if attempted to swim through.
* In Wisp Valley, the ripple causes the static electricity within the flora to overcharge from the magnetic force of the moon fragments, immediately killing anything that is near the grass or flora. Other than this, it has a much less intense earthquake, similar to Ruined Metropolis.
* In The Observer, the ripple does not affect the area at all. Only slight rumbling and static discharge, both of which are not fatal, but will wake up Nightstalkers.
* In Volcanic Region, the ripple causes the volcanic vents to heat up extremely, incinerating anything that crosses their paths or is in the location for too long. Also indicated by rumbling.
* In Impact Point, the ripple causes large tsunamis to spawn periodically, indicated by rumbling and sounds of rushing water. Unlike Subpipes, this water is fatal if even touched due to its toxic contents.
* In Shadowthyst Hive, the ripple wakes up every single dormant Shadowthyst within, in every area besides the Queen's Domain.
* In Dead Zone, the ripple has the same effect as the Ruined Metropolis, however, it spawns a sandstorm that blinds the player completely over time.
* In Gravity Plains, the ripple bugs the anti-gravity systems to launch the player in various directions, indicated by the sparking of the electronics and the rumble.
* In The Creator, the ripple simply has no effect. No hostile entities exist within the area so the ripple poses no threat.
* In the Ruined Castle, the ripple causes an extremely massive earthquake, launching the player into the many hazards the area provides.
* In Alpha Zero, the ripple pulls the player into low orbit, where they burn alive from the stardust.
It is easily seen what phase the moon is in by the sprite.

===Species===
Avializ
Also known as Catbirds
Flightless animals with feathered bodies and apparent fins. Known to have great eyesight and hearing, with an incredible climbing speed. Found commonly in humid or high-up regions, but technically can be found everywhere.
*Cootling
*Wispen Cat
*Waterbird
Ossis
Also known as bone wolves.
Territorial wolf-like creatures with visible exoskeletons that are nearly identical to those of average wolves. Known to hunt and survive in packs, and have a bigger and older member known as the Alpha. Covered in thick fur that hides most of the exoskeleton, revealing only the face and paws. Commonly found in colder regions.
*Ostundra
*Osterra
*Osagua
*Osnoche
*Osmetro
Arachnoid
Also known as Spiders or Bugs
Invertebrate animals that have six or more legs. Commonly found in humid or dark spaces.
* Canopy Spider
*Cobalt Wasp
*Dado Legs
*Halofly
Shadowthyst
Also known as Shadowlings
Beings are created of a kind of non-newtonian fluid, as they mature, their form hardens and they no longer have the capability to change their bodies to large degrees. Highly aggressive in most cases and classified as apex predators or even invasive species.
Despite their nickname being Shadowling, this name only referred to juvenile Shadowthyst.
*Nightstalker
*Cobalthyst
*Rojathyst
Biomecha
Also known as fusions
Various animals are made of fused metal and flesh. Shadowthyst does not fall into this category.
*Watchdog
*Eden
Reptillicus
Also known as Lizards
Cold-blooded animals. Commonly predators or apex predators.
*Lavardon
**Lavardon Juvenile
*Armorjaw
Flora
Also known as Plants
The various flora life found in the world.
*Lotusaur
*Crimson Root
*Flamepetal
*Chainfruit
*Shrubby
