True Final Ascent

We got the amazing Final Ascent update. But i want more. How about a TRUE Final Ascent?

True Final Ascent adds a last new Mode. FINAL ASCENT. You climb through all the biomes. And i mean ALL of them. Shore -> Tropics -> Roots -> Alpine -> Mesa -> Caldera -> Kiln -> Gloom -> Citadel.

But it is not a fixed map. I basically slaughtered the map generator of PEAK for this. When starting a run, you can select a seed, biome variants, and a difficulty on top. Or leave those at random, if you feel like it.

The FINAL ASCENT

• You generate a unique map every time at runtime. It will take 1-2 minutes. All the biomes. One run.
• Every difficulty works, from Tenderfoot up to the highest Ascent.
• The secret ending works too. Yes, we checked. Yes, it took a while.
• Rejoining or late joining should work too, and it was a pain in the a.. to make.

Bragging rights

Your name floats above your head. It might as well say something about you.

• Silver for 1–3 Ascents cleared, Gold for 4–7, and Diamond once you've cleared all eight — that one glints.
• Finish the Final Ascent on PEAK difficulty or higher, and arrive alive. You unlock the Rainbow name. It's exactly as subtle as it sounds.
• Pause menu, bottom left: your Ascent scoreboard. Right above it, a dropdown to pick which color everyone else sees.

The other nonsense

• Help your friends. Or don't. Helping and kicking are no longer mutually exclusive. Reach out to help as usual, or press F for a surprise screaming friend. Let the intrusive thoughts win.
• Energy drink combo. Drink one while another is still going and you get 13 seconds of absolute rocket fuel with infinite stamina. But beware the sugar crash after. Please don't try at home.
• Weaponised medicine. Overcook a Cure-All until it bursts and curses you and your friends, and healing you after it wears off.

Most mods should work. But be careful with those, that alter the game a lot.
