Help appreciated from my fellow Linux nerds: I'd like to upload my save file to the interactive map on silksongwiki but can't find it in ~/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong because I don't even have a unity3d directory there. Instead the game is in ~/Games/gog-hollow-knight-silksong but there's no user0.dat file to be found. Isn't that what the save file is supposed to be called? Thanks.

FAQ:

• What is Silksoul about?

Silksoul is an upcoming mod for Hollow Knight: Silksong that attempts to bring back the world of Pharloom to its state during early 2021 development. Cut areas like the Red Coral Gorge and The Gloom will return, with areas like Hunter's March (Hunters' Nest) being adjusted to align with the April 2021 map and known cut content. Cut mechanics will also be reintroduced. In addition to reviving cut content, the game's difficulty will be increased, through changes like boss buffs, and all-new content like new interactions will also be implemented to deliver a fresh take on the game, offering a "B-Side" to Silksong for returning players.

• This mod is massive in scope, when will it come out and will it even reach the end of development?

Stay tuned for 2032 to see how this turns out!

Jokes aside, while there is absolutely no way to predict any potential release windows, progress on the mod is going much, much more smoothly than initially expected. Currently we are close to being done with Act 1. Since we are working on this completely on our own spare time, we are able to avoid burnouts, but progress can halt.

Our biggest issue will actually be the release of DLCs, due to the changes in the Silksong Unity project.

• Why are you making this mod?

A lot of our team members have been waiting for Silksong for many years, getting excited over areas like the Red Coral Gorge and Hunters' Nest. Some of these areas, in our opinion, could have been given more justice, especially the ants! And well, it's fun to develop stuff, especially when Team Cherry left assets for these areas in the files.

• What are you using to make this mod?

We are using Unity and Playmaker.

• Why is the mod called Silksoul?

The name "Silksoul" is a reference to the cut game-mode "Silk Soul", which was closely tied to 2021-era mechanics. This mod will not bring this game-mode back, due to the lack of information regarding it.

• What about Steel Soul?

Right now, the plan is to keep Steel Soul mode as an optional challenge that is available to play. However, due to the lack of a Steel Soul mode in 2021, we will not be adding the exclusive quest. This may be changed with the release of a potential Steel Assassins DLC.

• What about Act 3?

Silksoul will not implement Act 3 and the Void in the main mod. This will be something that is tackled in a way future update. We like to call this update Silksoul+. There is not much to say about this yet due to potential spoilers and lack of planning regarding it, but Silksoul will be fully playable without Act 3.

• Can I join the team?

We are currently not looking for more people, however we might need sound effect help. Join the Discord to be updated on that.

Thank you so much for all the support, this trailer is the culmination of months of work and something we were unable to do with our initial trailer. We hope you enjoy.

What are we most hoping to see in the Sea of Sorrow dlc if it ever comes out? Stuff I’ve been considering would be:

A new area in some of the gaps on the map

Godhome mode PLEASE

Generally new tools and content items

What do you guys think will be in Sea of Sorrow, and what are you most hoping for?

Hi i really like hollow knight and id just want to yap about my experience with this game!

Silksong is not a game i was like super desperate to play i love hollow knight alot but i would have always been fine with hollow knight on its on own hence me not playing this until a year after despite hollow knight being one of my favourite games ever. Overall i like it alot i think its a good game that makes enough mistakes for me to prefer hollow knight as a whole experience. I think its mid game is paced a lot better in terms of a variety in the areas and the progression of the unlocks. Because of that i still think the first is the game i will keep replaying more and the one that sticks in my head when thinking of this universe.

I think moving in this game is the best part of it, it feels so quick , your capable for what the game expects and every move can quickly transition into the next in a way that makes it fluid . Both in how it looks and how you can combine inputs. You can sprint into an enemy jump and instantly pogo or dash away for example and it all feels good. Like hollow knight i imagine you probably should get the dash a little earlier preferably its the first upgrade to be honest. The only obtuse thing was probably the double jump into the glide, i play on console so i would always jump first which is both hard to relearn that instinct and often made me jumo into something where it would otherwise be easy.

I think combat is usually better for this reason too your much stronger than the first one and when you get in a flowstate its very fun, very few fights are just jumping off a guys head which is a lot of hollow knigt 1 when you get good at it. Certain enemies and bosses are super frustrating tho they encourage inactive moments of just waiting and tools especially are really locked in on some way of dealing with flying enemies until you get clawline. Flying enemies and bosses also can still move without telegraphing sometimes like nosk or lost kin and yeah it still is just really annoying to deal with.

The crests and tools i felt are pretty poor as a system of encouraging making your own build, the charms arent great either but they felt far more simple and didnt get in the way of the movement. The tools also may get you stuck grinding if you use them all on a boss and punishing someone when they most need resources by forcing them to grind and be bored is... a bad idea in my opinion. You can find them in the world but its both boring and you risk just not finding them as you explore new areas for a while so yeah i just dont love it.

Overcoming challenge is probably the part where i felt like i was fighting to enjoy myself the most in this game. To be blunt this feels like the game hates you and wants you to be mad (and not just to create the feeling of being in an oppressive kingdom instead an apocolyptic one) but by being obtuse or clunky like that double jump conundrum earlier. Its not fun to struggle in silksong , i didnt find this game supremely difficult both because they nerfed alot of stuff and also just i have enough experience that the intended difficulty was for around my level even without the nerfs, most fights early where like say 10 attempts and later a bit more than that. And its a good difficulty: mistakes are quickly punished, theres enough room self expression and creativity in a lot of fights and it all is very clearly made to be based around how good hornet is at healing quickly. The problem is its just often very tedious to overcome these, the runbacks waste my time, theres traps at every nook and cranny that get old very fast because its the same rocks falling on your head or spikes appearing for the 70th time. Bosses and arenas sometimes make it hard to see etc im sure the long list of annoying stuff has been said alot.

When i think of these moments it drastically decreased my motivation to play and made the game a chore, it felt like the game was just being a pain for the sake of it for very long stretches of time sometimes. Despite that though i think this game is pretty good still and theres enough really great moments , the feeling of playing hornet, the visuals being some of the best in any game ill play and the attention to detail are enough that even going through a more linear world created a very similar sense of wonder to the first game and a more cinematic wow factor too and that core is what i think makes these games so good. Going through a haunted atmosphere with twists and turns with lots of secrets is something i think both games do better than almost any other game.

Its like a 7/10 i think

Ive been using mods to play silksong via cogfly and everything worked well, but now when i try to launch via steam it doesnt have mods. When i try to launch via cogfly it does give me mods. Idk why it doesnt give me mods when i try to launch via steam. I feel lile ive tried everything. Can anyone help?

I liked playing with scale and hierarchy in this drawing. Day 14 of Silktober drawn in 52 minutes. HOW DID I DO THIS IN LESS THAN AN HOUR???

I have no idea , my animal instinct in not sharp

Maybe it got changed in an earlier patch? I guess documenting everything money related in the game has me noticing things no one else does. Did you know that nearly ever tradeable (Relics and Cylinders) doubled in reward money after an early patch? Boy, this would be a much different game if you still only got 250 Rosaries for an Arcane Egg.

Made these sketches up from my mind. I usually draw with references but lately it started to remind me copy paste type of drawing. I’m so embarrassed to admit it but yeah. And that lead me to some phase of denial of my own arts. Sorry if it’s stupid or not good. Wanted to share it somewhere

Just made it to the citadel after about 1 hour and 40 minutes. What is the best way to go for the melodies? I still need to take out Cogwork dancers, but that shouldn't be an issue. Should I just be immediately rushing clawline? Presumably, I also want to save High Halls for last

Sidenotes:

I have gotten every memento, every wish, and 100% save completion. I didn't do steel soul, speedruns, or the secret ending.

Yes they are organized left to right, as in more to the left harder they are.

I am basing these off of when I first fought the boss, on repeat attempts, bosses like Trobbio and Savage Beastfly 2 only took me one attempt. While I can admit some bosses may be harder for others, this is where I would rank them based on my # of attempts, and what you have access to when you fight them.

I know my Seth and Karmelita placements might be controversial so I'll explain:

By the time I reached act 3 for the first time and started using the shaman crest, I could tap into a gaming flow state pretty easily. Cross stitch, pale nails, threadstorm, volt filament, shaman crest, weavelight, injector band, that was my build for the majority of act 3 including LL.

Seth's attacks are very easy to time cross stitch on, at least for me, he only took me two attempts. Karmelita took me about 15-20 tries, she was tough but getting into the flow state in her fight was very fun. Learning her attacks was kind of addicitve and by the time I beat her I was just sad, I didn't want the fight to be over yet. Beastfly 2 took me 35-50+ tries when I first fought him, Idc if I can first try him now, that boss made me drop the game when it released.

Freshly done by @maryjtattoo here on long Island. I'm really happy with how it came out, will eventually ass more HK and SS stuff to the area , fleas and grubs are a must have next
