    The blue and red gems being clarity and uncertainty is an interesting theory but I think you can tie it their secondary properties back to their main one.
    Fire is made with heat, which would make the red gem a sort of heat creator. Heat is a form of energy, so it could be extrapolated that red gems can revive people by giving them "heat" or the warmth that comes with being alive.
    Blue gems would be the absence of this heat, absorbing it and leaving nothing. This could make the "clarity" element you came up with more a byproduct of removing other external energies, like it absorbs other forms of light except the moon's for the dial.
    Also green could represent matter and yellow represents energy, two opposites of our reality. It makes green a bit more broad for its creation and destruction gimmick and makes yellow make a bit more sense than just being symbolic.

    I made a theory a while ago that each gem represent a element unique to The Constant and a entity behind that element that all once were whole to form “Alter”, goes as simple as:
    Red = Soul, due to being associated with life and healing. Deity is most likely the volcano from Shipwrecked, or something within it, as it feeds off of life similar to the life giving amulet and creates life of it’s own through Dragoons. Wortox’s souls also are the same hue.
    Blue = Death, due to being associated with death and life draining such as the cold. Deity is most likely what causes Winter within The Constant.
    Purple = Nightmares: Self explanatory. Deity is “Them.” Explains why “Them” is named the way they are, since they are made of two deities judging by red and blue gems making purple.
    Orange = Warping: Deity is The Maw from Gorge, as the wormholes have a orange hue associated with them and violate the laws of physics according to Wagstaff, and The Maw is notoriously slothful and lazy.
    Green = Creation: Deity seems to be Wormwood, as Wormwood in themselves is a “creation” of Alter, and the green gem within their core.
    Yellow = The Sun. If Alter is the moon… then… what is the sun?…
    Opal = Alter. Self explanatory.

  • @brycerodriguez244
    @brycerodriguez244 Місяць тому +10

    Heres my take on this:
    Red gem: Represents exothermic transfer of energy. Releases energy for multiple purposes, primarily heat. This explains why it revives a player.
    Blue gem: Represents exothermic transfer of energy. Takes in energy, which is why it cools you down and takes in the moon’s energy and exhibits it for the player.
    Purple gem: This one represents time and power. However, since time is weird in the Constant, its effects are also kind of weird. Using the power of time makes the purple gem work much like the orange gem and meddles with space, rather than manipulating time directly.
    Orange gem: arguably the most direct color of gem. This just manipulates space, which the Constant has a lot of.
    Green gem: Represents the creation and destruction of matter by adding more matter with energy. It actually breaks a primary law of physics. This explains why it needs nightmare fuel to function properly: it needs the pure energy to manufacture, or in some cases get rid of, matter itself.
    Yellow gem: Represents light. It has the power to create light with the energy of nightmare fuel.
    Iridescent gem: Represents the power of Alter itself. It harnesses the combined gem’s power, which is from the moon, to mimic the moon’s power. These are most likely a combination of all the gems, which is why Wilson can craft one with every type of gem.
    A lot of my speculation comes from Maxwell’s quotes, which indicate that the gems that he didn’t create (he created red, blue, and purple) require the nightmare fuel, or pure energy, to function properly.

    You forgot that every gem and elemental creature is connected to a different plane of existence, like per-instance, y'know the forge?
    That's where red gems come from, even Maxwell has some quotes stating that certain elemental creatures come from certain lands outside the constant.
    My theory is that there isn't just a idea of what the gems convey, but also deities and planes of existence that are connected directly to them as well.
    Hell, you could even say Alter proves my theory to be true.

    This is what I think they all represent:

    Blue=cold
    Possibly with a connection to water or the clarity thing you mentioned, but that also could be there were any sources of glass besides Messages in bottles Which you would have to retrieve from shipwrecked

      Yeah, I feel like its a bit of a product of its time, but I still feel like those can fall under “activity” since its such a broad term, its a bit speculative I know but its what klei gave me to work with lol
      The tele-locator uses energy (activity) to transport things unlike the lazy items (as seen with the lightning strikes and the “cost” for the focus) vs the lazys instant and seemingly energyless transfers
      The bat-bat is a transfer of energy between the attacker and the attackee

    We know green gems have some kind of time association due to Wanda's examination quote for the deconstruction staff: "It's cruder than my pocket watch, but it follows the same basic principles." Her green gem quote also seems to imply they'd be a suitable nightmare fuel replacement for her watches if she'd have gotten them first.

    I think this pairing makes more sense. It respects the rarity of the items in game by pairing a common to uncommon. It also repsects the color wheel by pairing opposing colors.
    Blue=Impedence. Cold and freezing. And like how light is slowed through a magnifying glass
    Orange=Progress. Tools to make life easier, movement and collecting.
    Purple=Obscurity. Their function is not understandable by a sane mind.
    Yellow=Revelation. Light is commonly needed to reveal.
    Red=Conversion. Flame converts burnable into energy to exist. Amulet designed to convert itself to health.
    Green=Creation. Create and manipulate building blocks of anything, even life.

    I can get behind most of the gems. But to me personally green being form and yellow being energy just rings true to me. The construction abilities and giving wormwood a body, and magniluminesence giving speed and light. Though i wouldnt call form and energy necissarily opposites, theyre more compliments. Different forces, but things are usually made up of both.

    the iridescent gem also explains why the hell alter somehow has a green gem and is also proficient enough to create life with it. it litteraly created the damn thing afterall
    also wilson being able to split down the iridescent gem could be rooted in just extreme proficiency with science. science is about deconstructing the world around us into smaller concepts that are easier to understand. big bang theory deconstructs how our universe came to be in a step by step method etc. thus wilson is able to scientificaly deconstruct the entirety of the moon's influences into its core components and vice versa.

    @あやす-p6p Місяць тому

    Interesting, but seems a little far fetched.
    For me, the:
    Red Gem - symbolizes Life. Life Giving Amulet can resurrect, but also HEAL. So it does not make sense that Yellow Gems represent Life. Living creatures also "burn" calories, they are walking bioreactors, produce heat. Life is almost always accompanied by heat production. If it has enough "life" energy to resurrect, then it surely has enough spare energy to make something combust.
    Blue Gem - I think it really just is a gem that takes away energy - I think that the Magnifying Glass craft is just because it's the closest thing they got to glass. The Moon Dial blue gem could make water vapor condensate and fall into the Dial increasing the amount of water as needed, until it all overflows.
    Purple Gem - This was pretty on point. In my opinion it symbolizes space and the universe. Wanda's watch can already be crafted without the Purple Gem, "is it time to take a dip into the timestream?". Time. Without it. You can also teleport using Telelocator Focus, bending space.

    I have written with a lot so please read
    So ive been writing a character who specializes in gems so i have so theories
    Red represent energy and life (energy because of the fire and the wagstaff goggles that shoots lazer balls [which contradicts your theory of red gems] and life because of the live giving amulet and wandas ageless watch since they let you live longer and bring back the dead)
    Blue is the lost of energy (coldness) and clarity (same as your theory) (life isnt clear so its still kinda the opposite) (one thing that kinda is oppose to the clarity theory is the purple gem allowing you to see things (the nightmare amulet making you see nightmares and the telelocator staff allowing you to see stuff (wilsons and walanis quotes)
    Purple is sight and raw power (sight because of nightmare amulet, thulecite gardener hat and telelocator staff and raw power because of how many diffrent uses it has (also green gems are more time based than purple because of wandas quote for the deconstruction staff)
    Orange is teleportation (because all of its uses i think, also i dont see any of the ruins gems as opposites)
    Green is time and conservation (time because of wanda quote for decon staff and conservation because of the construction amulet)
    Also i see wormwoods gem as a mutated green gem since its from altar and it can transmutate gems and it looks totally different from any gem we seen and it works differently
    Yellow gems is stability because it was needed for the ancients to be stable before what happen to them and light is needed for life
    Iridescent gem is a mixture of every gem because of wilson and it has the power of lunar energy
    I didnt think about wilsons crafts sine i think they mostly gameplay and not lore wise

If you are talking about her symbolizing the pocket watch with the deconstruction staff that MAY have some meaning and I can admit that there could be something there, but it could also just be her referencing that the deconstruction staff reverts stuff to their original form (like her watch reverts her). This would not explain wormwood or the construction amulet though as both have nothing to do with time unless you consider how long wormwood took to grow but thats a stretch
