Better Parkour would be great, what I mean when I say that:

1: more parts of the cave that require you to do parkour

2: more parkour options e.g:
~Crouching: to get through tight tunnels
~Wall Running: while running jump of a ledge and run on a wall to reduce fall damage and to get you further
~Ledge Mobility: you can grab and hang on ledges while moving along them
~Climbing Stones: basically a naturally generated ladder
~Vines: you can swing on them however they’d probably be exclusive to DenseBiozone,FungusBogs,AzureWeald and maybe Hollow Bough

3: 1 and 2

You may think that if more parkour options exist it would make traversal tools less useful, not really, the tools could just be a way to cheat the parkour and if you run out of ammo or it will take too long to use the tools you can just use the parkour options so it basically fills in a classes mobility weakness

change the color of neurotoxins to dark green

change the colour of wardens and their defensive buff lasers to blue

why? because they share similar looks to something else in the game with a similar effect. pheromones and neurotoxins are both yellow but serve wildly different effects. korlok healing pods are pink but they heal instead of provide defensive buffs. as for why id change the warden instead of the healing pods, its because blue is usually associated with defense in other games, so it would be easier for newbies to pick up the gimmick of the warden

More colour variety with the upgrade materials because currently we have:
1 Red: Magnite
1 White: Enor
1 Yellow: Bismor
3 Green: Umanite, Jadiz, Croppa

It would just be better to have more colour variety since half the materials are Green and it could add lots of potential for materials whether it being New Materials or old materials that got retextured

Recolouring:
-Blue Umanite
-Black Jadiz
-Orange Croppa etc

New Material Ideas (these are just names that I made up on the spot):
-Hellinite: a black Jadiz that has quiet screaming when you go near it and has red faces and hands appear on its inside every now and then
-Brytin: orange hollomite with pink spheres growing on it
-Marnul: a mirror like crystal that lets you see your reflection when you go near it and will form in large hexagon shapes so that you can actually see yourself
-Derminite: a blue enor pearl with spikes sticking out
-Thundarnite: a brown Jadiz that glows yellow and starts having electrical particles when it comes near energy sources e.g: shock crystals, Drilldozers, Pump Stations, Extraction Stations, Rivalry Tech etc
-Frithim: red phazomite

It would just be nice to have either more colour variety with the upgrade materials or more upgrade materials in general and if there ever will be a lot of materials it would also be cool if each of those materials could only be found in specific biomes

Make it possible to report people for bad behavior. For example, after doing most of the work, I was just booted from a match right as we were able to extract. Done for no reason other than being an a**hole. Wasn't rushing, griefing anyone, etc. I don't have a lot of time during the week, and try to do a match or two just to keep up with dailies. Turning that precious little time into nothing is exceedingly frustrating, and certainly something I expect this community and the developers to be actively opposed to based on the majority of my experience.

Let us report the trolls, add penalties that prevent them from public matchmaking for X days with confirmed reports, and make DRG a better place. Rock and Stone 2022.

Idea for a mission type:
Dwarven Trials:

You enter a cave full of strange fruits/nuts.
You're told by Mission Control that you must eat 8 - 12 - 16 of these fruits/nuts (depending on mission length) to see which ones could potentially be used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Each fruit has a random chance of causing various buffs/debuffs (which are removed upon mission completion). I'm going to use Minecraft names:

Water Bottle
Nausea
Speed
Slowness
Resistance
Turtle Master
Decreased Damage Resistance (no minecraft equivalent)
Instant Health (Red Sugar)
Instant Damage
Bad Luck
Luck
Darkness

I thought it might be funny to see a group scapegoat one of their members, resulting in that one dwarf getting either drunk as hell or op as hell by the time evac rolls around

I know it sounds petty but when I play gunner, I view my role as long range crowd control and as a terrain bridger using the ziplines. Its hard do that when there is no scout and I can't see more than ten feet in front of me on some maps.

Oh and maybe let Bosco tag along on teams with less than four members. Just make him controllable only by the host. I find it sad that Bosco is super customizable but you can't actually see him unless you are playing alone.

majority of engis pick gemini systems for turrets since it's objectively better than the current single mkII turret. make the mkII turret also make the magazine capacity = max ammo so you never have to reload it as a perk of using one turret. this would make it more of an option for people who don't want to micromanage the turret while min-maxers/micromanagers would have the gemini system while also not just making it about which has more overall damage

An emote system that allows you to do simple emotes! You could have for example, a clap, a wave, a bow, a laugh and so on. It would add a bit of fun interaction and stuff you can do with your friends. You could also have emotes like the gunner juggling his grenades or the engi spinning a hammer in his hands and stuff like that. You could also have universal emotes that work on all classes, like one where you take out a lootbug and pet it or something akin to that.

(Could use Destiny 2 emote system as an example on how it could work. Equip 4 emotes and you can use them by pressing the arrow keys. Could also just have a specific keybind for it that pulls up this emote wheel.)

New 40mm PGL unstable overclock:
Rubber jacket/Pinball

Grenade doesn't disappear after the first explosion
Increased velocity and blast radius
Can explode up to 3 times
Subsequent bounces increase damage (x50% x150% x300%)

First explosion only deals 50% damage
Passes through enemies and only detonates on surfaces (unless it has the proximity fuze mod,in which case it ricochets off large/flying enemies)
The idea is that the overclock heavily incentivizes trickshots and punishes anything else

DRG feedback

Hey everyone! Here are my two cents on how to make Deep Rock Galactic an even better game. Some of my suggestions are more doable than others, but anyways, in no particular order, here they are:

[ ] What killed me? Add a Death report feature a la Apex Legends.
[ ] Flares 2.0: Remove hold B to toggle headlight and replace it with something cooler. Maybe let us hold B to place down one of Molly's green glowing arrow direction beacons. Let us choose what direction the arrow should point. Spoilers, but I'm reminded of the movie Aliens when Ripley finds her way out of the reactor using flares that she placed down.
[ ] Ledge-grab should always trigger, even if there is an obstacle above the head. Currently it doesn't trigger when there is an obstacle. It makes the player unsure if there is an off-screen obstacle in the way, or if the ledge simply was too high up for the ledge-grab to trigger.
- [ ] Slightly widen the sideways/horizontal angle at which ledge-grab can occur. Currently it only works directly forward, not at a slight angle
[ ] Add raytracing to the game a la Quake 2 RTX raytracing demo. This will only work on PC and next-gen consoles, unfortunately. But the game would look sick with raytracing.
[ ] "Grenade!" shout when the player pulls out the grenade, not when he throws it, for earlier grenade warning for teammates.

#

[ ] Make it easier/streamlined to copy loadouts/appearances from one loadout slot to another (even across classes, perhaps?).
[ ] Make the omen modular exterminator slightly less difficult. Currently, everyone dies all the time.
[ ] Fix walking on and across pipelines. Currently it feels glitchy.
[ ] Love is the seventh wave: add a seventh promotion tier: Grandmaster. Currently we have Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master. Thats Six. Seven is the better number. Add a Grandmaster seventh promotion tier.
[ ] reduce falling to your death: add a directional warning indicator that triggers when you are about to walk forwards or sideways off a cliff. This should reduce randomly falling to your death or taking damage.
[ ] Customizable portraits. Not the blue/red/green/yellow portrait outlines. Only the image at the centre. The portrait is already custom to show your promotions on a character. Let player be even more custom with their portraits. Or maybe just make it look like a head portrait of your selected character's current appearance.
[ ] Make the escape menu show your armor rig loadout when you click the "bullets" button. Everything else is there, but not the armor rig, for some reason.

Thanks for reading!

For Rock and Stone!!

Much love,
Yeti

I know it's been said already, but the game's voice chat settings could really use two things:
Being able to directly adjust your mic's volume in game and The ability to test how it sounds to other players, not just the bar sometimes saying your mic's dB levels

More variety to spitball infectors!

Shotgun infector (name tbd): Shoots a shotgun like blast of projectiles towards the dwarf/dwarves it sees. (Reduced range and overall damage compared to the normal infector, but if you're too close you'll take a lot of damage)

AOE infector (name tbd): Shoots a single projectile that causes a wide explosion that causes acid damage to the dwarf/dwarves. It could also damage terrain.

Freezing/Fire infector (name tbd): Self explanatory. Would immediately give you that status effect, not a build up or anything. (Maybe make the freezing one shoot slower so players are not stuck in a freezing loop)

Pheromone infector (name tbd): Would make the hit dwarf/dwarves attract bugs, just like the dreadnought attack

Some new enemy ideas (this is gonna be several submissions)

Automation Family:

Auto Dwarves

Auto Dwarves are found in all areas, and can be found in groups of 2-4 depending on the player count (They don’t appear in Solo)

Auto Dwarves are a failed attempt by the eggheads to make caving more safe by using expendable robots. These Robots became quickly destroyed and were reanimated by parasites, creating a lethal foe. They will mimic your Loadout and general strategy and are exceptionally dangerous. Easy to confuse by attacking the ones mimicking your teammates, however. Best stragety is to let Close range dwarves fight the longer range and let the far range dwarves with rifles or pistols pick off the HP of the closer ranged AutoDwarves.

Forgebeast MK11

Forgebeast bots are found only in the Magma Core, and are quite rare similar to the nature of their automation counterparts. While totally stationary like a Spitball Infector, these beasts launch lethal magma from afar and spill it over their cauldrons up close. Drops bars of materials, which rewards more than usual pieces of minerals upon death.

Tillers

Tillers are found exclusively in the Dense Biozone or Hollow Bough, and are the 2nd smallest member of the automaton family, second to the Auto Dwarf. These machines are about as big as a Mule and can be found shredding down Vines, overtaken by the Parasites. They boast fast sped and overwhelming numbers of 5-10 (difficulty dependent.) but are extremely fragile and die instantly upon being set on fire.

#

New Enemy ideas PT2

Glyphid Family

Glyphid Rival Dreadnaught
(Belongs to the Glyphid Family biologically.)

A Boss Dreadnaught that is fitted with Rival Tech armor. In order to expose the weak spot you must wait until it overheats it’s armor and reveals the back end’s weak point. It can summon Rival Glyphids aswell.
(Fun note: Reverse it’s name and you get DRG.)

Rival Glyphid:

The Rival Glyphid is only found in Elimination Missions where the GRD is present. It is a Glyphid modified with Rival Armor, and a specialized pheromone injector making it tougher and more vicious than a normal glyphid. It’s armor is breakable and can be seen as a stronger (and much bigger) Grunt Guard

setting a pheremone'd enemy on fire reduces the duration of the pheremones by 25% but increases the maximum amount of bugs that can be attracted to that enemy along with increased bug damage to said enemy by x1.25 because the fire burns the pheremones and makes it's scent stronger or some shit, im not a chemist

Continuation of the Enemy Suggestions

Family: Other

Energy Feeder

A small harmless bug that likes to follow dwarves using Energy weapons, hoping to get a big meal from the spent magazines. Can be petted. About the size of a Fester Flea. Found anywhere

Radia Swarm

Located only in the irradiated depths of the Exclusion Zone, this bugs are indestructable (But are added to the Bestiary upon scaring them off)
These microscopic bugs tend to swarm nearby Inert Uranium, charging it up and making it radioactive. Simply shooting at the crystal will scare them off.

Snatchbugs

Found only in missions with the brand new Thieving Bugs modifier, these troublesome pests will steal dimming flares and drop them elsewhere. While these rare pests are a nuisance, they often drop dim or spent flares nearby “shiny” objects such as Lost Equipment, Morkite Deposits, or Aquarqs.

With all the talk about sandwiches in the upgrades and voice lines it would be cool to be able to buy them at the abyss bar. You could have glyphid meat brought back from missions to make the sandwiches. Then you bring a sandwich or two with you on missions as long as you got space. You should start with space but certain upgrades get rid of sandwich slots, (the descriptions already say this) so as long as you don't take the upgrades that get rid of sandwich space you could bring them on missions.
The sandwiches can heal or give different buffs like speed or jump height.

Bosco Upgrade ideas:

Tow Cable:
Allows Bosco to still attack, mine and light while holding heavy objects. (Bosco still moves at the speed it does while normally carrying a heavy object and has a 50% reduced weapon firing speed, mining speed and light radius while Tow cable is in use)

Aerodynamic hull:
Bosco moves 70% faster. (including while carrying an object)

Swarm-Style Rockets:
Fires massive amounts of small heat-seeking rockets that deal 60% less damage and affect a smaller area but have a 50% chance to stun and will adapt to changes in the environment to always hit a target. (based off the Whistling bird from The Mandalorian meant to be good at taking out swarms of weaker enemies like Glyphid Grunts or Mactera Spawns but less affective at taking out larger enemies)

Gas Rockets:
After initially exploding, the rockets deploy a blue cloud of special chemicals that can poison bugs while dwarves are completely immune to the substance.

New Weapon:

TempTech Rifle
Class: Engineer
Manufacturer: OMIQ Dynamics
Cost: 5,000 Credits & Magnite

The Temptech rifle is a weapon that fires two kinds of Ammo: Incendiary Rounds, and Chillburst Rounds. In it’s Incendiary mode, the barrel glows red hot and the weapon has a fast firerate and spits out lots of flaming bullets. In the “Cold” mode, the weapon has a very slow but extremely percise firemode that fires ice cold bullets, turning into icicles once they leave the barrel. Both modes consume the same amount of ammo, however modwise only one can be enhanced at a time.

Overclocks:

Forgefire: The Ice mode is removed but the weapon gains more magazine size and fires much more firey bullets that ignite targets quicker

Frosty Barrel: The Ice Mode now charges up and fires a single icicle before needing to reload, however this icicle does insane damage and penetrates.

#

New weapon (Again, i know…)

The Borer
Class: Driller
Manufacturer: SUMMIT Solutions
Cost: 4,500 Credits & Umanite

The Borer is one of the most chaotically insane weapons available in the Driller’s arsenal. It launches massive drill bits that destroy armor and small enemies in seconds. It has shitty ammo and shitty reloads, but the eggheads can prove one thing: This monster of a weapon has nothing but true, unmatchable POWER.

Overclocks: Armor Drills
The Drill bit now sticks onto armor and drills into it, causing damage to the enemy.

Fragile Drills: the projectile now explodes upon contact sending razor sharp shrapnel everywhere.

Add back the quotes "I'm down", "Dwarf down" and "Bastards got me" whenever someone goes down. Now it's just silence unless the teammate presses X. Not sure why they were removed in the first place. They were pretty cool and helped identify when a someone went down with audio cue.

I would be surprised if this hasn't been suggested before, but... to better facilitate co-op progression, assignments should advance simply based on mission type (and not a from a mission in a particular location). This way groups who want to line up missions types are able to, and more people can feel as if they're making progress together.

Rework Blank Matrix Cores, 8/10 events i end up doing without one because the means of obtaining one are way too limited. Crates and Gears aways rewards us with something, matrix events should be the same.

Extra Bonus': If a dwarf goes above and beyond in their duties (Cashes in more resources than what is necessary) for their objective, management should give some sort of bonus, currently, there is no need to turn in more than what is required in a mission, but I'm sure a good few would do so if there was a reward for doing so (Extra credits based on amount of extra resources, 1 credit per piece of extra Morkite for example.)

So, everyone knows the matrix core issue. We need lots of them, but there are really limited ways of getting them. So, i thought: "hmmm, blank cores act as carcasses. We make carcasses out of materials irl. So, why can't we use our materials to make matrix cores?"
Basically you will be able to trade some of your resources and credits for matrix cores, but there is a cap of how much you can craft daily. This makes getting infused matrix cores easier, makes it so people play drg more, and everyone would be happy! This addition might be really useful since matrix core item pool is getting bigger and bigger...

Note: matrix core will be really pricy, and it's price will increase with each crafted one, resets daily.

New unstable OC for Lok: "Scanalyzer"

As the other primary weapons have some interaction with the turrets(without considering how good they are or often used they are), i also want an option for the Lok. This is my first thought for this, even so I am not 100% keen on it as I feel like most people do simplify turret and turret microing to be more effective. Plus it would be a completly different playstyle, which might be niche at best and annoying at worst. Plus it might be to much work to make this Oc relativ to it's popularity.

cannot shoot (optional: can only single fire)
1/2 dmg
Turret tweaks
Scan mode does not break after time (optional: Scan mode is toggled on fire button)

How does it work?
Instead of shooting after scanning, your scan applies a debuff("Weakness Exposed"/other random name) to the enemies. I think a debuff might be easiest way to implement the idea, as i connect two weapons tightly to each other. Turret will prioritize shooting at targets with the debuff and get increased dmg against the targets by (100% of the Lok dmg * number of lok on the target => two locks mean 100% base dmg as the oc halves dmg).
Optional add-ons as QoL:
Turrets will have 1,5 times range against targets with debuffs. -> as turrets will be your primary may need more range, but hawkeye/Mk2 still should have range advantage
Defender can ignore its angle, but needs more time to shoot the marked targets. -> as it might be annoying to micro even more on top of the added microing of your turrets in this oc
Turrets hitting ANY armor of a marked target will do (reduced/full) dmg against the target. -> it would not be feasible to waste a lot of ammo or not be able to shoot opressors and stuff.
Probably some weapons perk will not work and need readjustments to work properly

How about new kind of beer - "Challange Beer" that change gameplay. For example:
1."Pheromon Beer": it atracts more bugs per wave and increase chance of spawning golden detonator.
2."Frozen Beer": it makes you random cough. And add new "cough" mecanic: Dwarves sometimes coughs and that rotatates camera at random direction and increases scattering when shooting for a little of time.
3."Psycho Beer": sometimes summons "fake" bugs (both flying and ground) that will disappear when they come close to dwarves. They could make attack animation, but don't actually attack.
4."Big Guy Beer": only praetorians, oppresors and detonators can spawn. And description something like: "Brewed using Carl's secrete formula. Makes you smell like a horrible creature. So small bugs are affraid of you, but big ones want to compete you".
5."Mixture of Fear": when dwarf looking at ennemies his hands start shaking(the cross starts waving from side to side), the more player looking at ennemies, the more his hands shakes.

More Varieties Objectives

Basically make changes on the main/secondaires objectives to where it feels more varied instead of the very few mission objective types(like Escort’s only difference is 1 or 2 refuels)
Btw not all my ideas need to be liked if any would make it into the game that's a win in my books
Lastly, anything in bold means new and normal text is what's already in the base game

Morkite Objective:
Collect 200/225/250/275/300/325/350/375/400 Morkite

Egg Hunt Objective:
Collect 4/6/8/10 Eggs
Each amount of eggs makes a certain amount of swarms spawn guaranteed like 4 Eggs has 1 swarm egg, 6 Eggs has 2 swarm eggs, 8 Eggs has 3 swarm eggs and 10 Eggs will have 4 swarm eggs however make all other no swarm eggs have a very low chance (1%) to spawn in an extra horde so theoretically yes you could have 10 swarms from 10 eggs but at that point you should hit the lottery since its so low it might never happen.

On-Site Refining:
Right now this mission got lvl 2 and 3 cave complexity rating that makes the distance from the wells to the Refinery a bit more farther away so just add a lvl 1 complexity rating that makes them closer then the lvl 2 ones are
Also make changes to the amount of leakages and broken nodes to possibly the following since out of all objectives this one has more in depth into it then others mission types-
1-2 Players
Currently have 1 or 2 pipes break per leakage with around 1-2 nodes broken per pipeline and 2 or 3 total leakages per mission
Now make it have 1 or 2 pipes break per leakage with around 1-3 nodes broken per pipeline and 1/2/3/4 leakages per mission
3-4 Players
Currently have 3 pipes break per leakage with around 1-2 nodes broken per pipeline and 2 or 3 total leakages per mission
Now make it have 3 pipes break per leakage with around 1-3 nodes broken per pipeline and 2/3/4/5 total leakages per mission

Salvage Operation Objective:
Salvage 1/2/3/4 Mules
**Add a new objective to check if the drop pod needs to be refueled or not (67% chance it doesn’t) and if it has enough to leave it skips the whole refueling process and just starts 2 minute countdown to restart the drop pod in order to leave **

Point Extraction Objective:
Collect 7/10/14 Aquarqs

Escort Duty Objective:
When you defend the drilldozer it goes in 4 stages (Swarm/Floating Rocks/Swarm/Ommoran Beamers) how about instead when the mission started it mixes up the 4 stages defending the drilldozer so its has 24 combinations

Elimination Objective:
Kill 1/2/3 Targets
Make it possible for stages with 2 or 3 Eggs have a low chance (20%) to make a repeat boss spawn from it (for example a 3 Egg mission could theoretically spawn 3 groups of Twins instead 1 of each boss type if the 20% spawn happened both times which is a 1/25 chance)

Secondary Objectives:
Make the rewards higher/lower depending on how many things you need to collect/kill
Collect Alien Fossils 6/8/10/12/14
Collect Apoca Blooms 9/12/15/18/21
Collect Boolo Caps 10/15/20/25/30
Collect Dystrum 100/125/150/175/200 (Add also to Morkite/Egg Hunts/Salvage Operation Missions)
Collect Ebonuts 12/14/16/18/20
Exterminate Fester Fleas 8/10/12/14/16
Collect Gunk Seeds 8/10/12/14/16
Collect Hollomite 25/30/35/40/45

More depth and diversity in the lighting system! Here are some ideas I have:
Adjust fog visibility so that it doesn't provide silhouettes in a pitch black chamber. Buff the flashlight's range by about 4-5x so dwarves can see a little further to balance this. Alternatively, the "darker" caves could be a mission hazard.
Turning off your flashlight doubles your flare regeneration rate
Buff strong arm significantly, and maybe have it give melee buffs, like reduced pickaxe slowdown
Flares that are still glowing now take knockback from damage sources. This lets you throw flares and shoot them to get them on high up ledges.
Have the Hawkeye system also come with a wider and brighter lamp for the sentry gun
Add differences between the medium and high intensity flares, such as the latter being brighter but having a longer recharge or lower capacity, add a low intensity flare type which has the opposite properties, and allow your load out to change which type you're using.
Add upgrades to flares that modify their behavior. Some upgrades would simply change their basic attributes like cooldown, capacity, brightness but also more complex upgrades, such as: sticky flares, which adhere to surfaces that aren't too steep; lightweight flares, which act as though they're always in low gravity; and volatile flares, which explode if damaged within the first 5 seconds of their life.
Allow dwarves to shoot inactive flares to destroy them and stop cluttering the cave floor

Unique lines for killing stuff with the flare gun and drills could be really funny.

"BURN BABY BURN! Wait, the flares don't burn stuff..."
"Hey everyone, look at the bug I wasted all my flares to kill! Er, actually, don't."
"That's gotta be the most greenbeard shite I've ever done."
"I'm so glad those flares don't come out of my paycheck."

driller : "WAAAAH! RRRAAAAAHHHH! AAAHAAAHAAHAAAA!" (The laugh from Meet The Heavy.)
"RIP! AND! TEARRRRR!"
"DIE! DIE! THIS IS NOT A GOOD USE OF DRILL FUEL!"
"BEEN WANTING A NEW PAINT JOB ON THESE FOR A WHILE- MIND IF I USE YOUR BLOOD?!"
"ONLY TUNNEL GETTING DUG TODAY IS THROUGH YOUR FACE!"

OC for freeze and/or flamethrower. Thermal Fluctuations. Applying freeze to a inflamed enemy rapidly freezes the target and bonus damage is applied during the heat transition period. Vice versa for flame/freeze

#

Too many times playing with randoms and either a flame grenade on a horde you just froze or cryogrenade on your nicely constructed flame barrier. So I think this would allow for more interesting gameplay, covers a deficit in the game (Accidentally playing against your teammates), and could be interesting for dual driller matches

"Oh dread is frozen." "Okay ill flame." and then trade between the two while coordinating while the flamethrower/cyrocannon recharges. And allows the two of them to actually damage the dread or horde with their primaries at the same time.

Add something to the battle pass system that gives users a selectable unlock for a single overclock for each class every season.

My reasoning is that there's a lot of new players getting involved in the game, the current model for them unlocking every overclock via RNG, is very, very long in terms of time investment. They see youtubers playing with cool things they want to try out, but get locked out by RNG, and feel disheartened from playing, I've had friends tell me that the one thing they hate about DRG is not being able to mess around with x overclock they're curious about, just because they don't have access to it because of the lockout.

Giving players one free pick for each class every season, might help people with the feeling of not being in control of their grind.

Mission idea, probably has been suggested. It’s basically an escort duty but it’s a massive robot that is moving through a massive cave. It is aiming to destroy a massive glyphid hive.

"Unrefined Matrix Cores"
Basically a new type of material, found in a new structure. "Abandoned mining point"
It will have some mining gear lying around, maybe few ammo deposits, and it will have a locked crate, which is opened using a battery. This battery is hidden somewhere nearby, and when you insert it you get unrefined matrix core.
These cores can be combined with resources to create blank matrix cores, which allows to get them more often.

More ways to get matrix cores -> More motivation for people to play more often -> more popularity -> more money and sales!

Engineer Primary Weapon:
Expedite "Terra Warp" Gauntlets

"Gauntlets capable of tearing stone and rock to your Dwarfen Will, flinging boulders and enclosing rock around your enemies."

❔ Press left click to tear a chunk of earth out, release to fire.
(40 dmg, 20 AOE dmg. 1 sec charge)

Hold Right Click on the ground to spike the earth, leaving spikes that deal DOT.
(15 dps, 1 sec charge)

Hold Right Click on a enemy to encase them in rock dealing damage to armor and flesh. Release right click to release.
(30 dps, 3 sec charge)

rocknstone Ground Attacks deal AOE (1.5 m)
No reload or heat.
Encasement completely stops movement.
Attacks deal armor damage.
The area or enemy being targeted by spikes or encasement will be highlighted.

All attacks require charge-ups.
20% spd decrease while charging.
Spiked Earth damages allies.
Encasement reduces physical damage taken by 30%
Limited Range, basic attack arcs.

Weapon Use: Tank Crusher/Support:
The gauntlets require coordination and set-up to be effective. Using your spikes to kill or weaken the fodder, while encasing the larger enemies for your sentries and allies to focus down. Without support, the gauntlets struggle against larger foes, and flying enemies can fly past your spikes and stay out of range. Stay with your team or sentries to remain effective.

GIANT ENIMY WORM. perhaps a season boss like the caretaker?

I got an idea for a season or event boss. Giant Worm. perhaps the machine waste from the rival activity built up and mutated or sped up the growth of this worm to the point were he was eating holes through the planet and causing massive amounts of damage to its structural integrity. Thus the dwarfs were sent to perhaps try to find out the reason for, and repair the damage to the planet, so that they could keep mining. But as the season or event progresses they find out the true cause of the damages. The worm. And end up in a big multi stage boss fight.

I know its a loose idea but I believe it has a lot of potential. If anyone wants to flesh out this "Giant tunneling worm" idea feel free too! atm I have no real idea of how the fight would happen or all the details, heck I don't even know what the worm might look like. but I wanted to suggest the concept so that my fellow miners ( and perhaps The big bosses) can see it.

buggerbait :
grenade slot item that gives a stronger version of pheromone to the player using it which would be good for aggroing bosses or swarms. would lose aggro if you get to far away or go onto repellent surface like platforms or shield.
nice item for scout or driller as it lets driller pull bugs into fire or goo and lets scout keep aggro from bosses and pull the swarm away from Doretta

A couple of Mutator Ideas:

Hazards:
Ebonite Mutation - chance for some grunts/praetorians to spawn as ebonites
Compact Terrain - All terrain takes one extra hit to destroy
Webspitter Infestation - Webspitter spawns are increased and there are a lot of spiderweb spawns

Anomalies:
Rich Soil - More lootbugs and hoarder spawns
High Morale - Active perks can get cooldown reduction or more usages per stage (depends on the perk)
Cheap Flares - the cooldown on flares are lowered

#

New Bug Ideas:

Glyphid Broodmother - A slightly bigger glyphid that carries swarmers on its back. The swarmers will jump off at nearby dwarves and the Broodmother will only aggress onto the player after all of the swarmers have left its back. (If the Broodmother dies while there are still swarmers on its back they will all just drop)

Uvraik Jumper - An enemy that leaps at players from a distance, attacking the player like a grunt after landing. There would be a humming/buzzing call before the Jumper leaps at a dwarf to alert. To play into this, the weakpoint of the Jumper would be on its belly so that if you catch it jumping you could kill it before it lands.

Grod Incher - A passive worm like bug that moves like an inchworm. Everyone loves inchworms :)

A few quality-of-life suggestions (hoping that not all of them have been submitted before):

Could we possibly have the delay for bringing up and putting down the Terrain Scanner reduced? I don't know if there's a reasoning for it I'm now aware of, but to me, it just makes using the scanner unnecessarily tedious/unwieldy to use. Giving it the same short delay as for bringing up the Laser Pointer would probably feel a lot better.

There's currently no way to tell if you have an active charmed glyphid other than actually seeing it in the game-world. Some HUD indicator for this would be really nice, lest I feel inclined to walk up to a Guardian and charm it only to realize I actually have one already… somewhere. My suggestion would be: If you have a Steeve who's still alive, give the small perk icon (next to your player portrait) a slightly thicker outline in the same teal color that Steeve gets outlined with in the game-world.

#

Lastly, perk hotkeys. I've seen a few people in different YouTube videos comment on this topic.

Berserker is probably the worst offender: It's incredibly easy to trigger it by accident because realistically, it isn't feasible to look at the power-attack cooldown icon on the side of your screen in the heat of battle. My suggestion: Hold mouse 2 and HOLD (instead of click) mouse 1 for half a second to activate. This would make the first power attack triggering the Berserker buff slightly awkward (because it wouldn't be instantaneous anymore), but I feel giving the player more control to not use it accidentally far outweighs that drawback.

Dash is one that most people probably won't perceive as a problem, but I use toggled sprint, which I have bound to mousewheel click (my default binding for toggled sprint in any shooter). Occasionally, in a combat situation, I'm not sure if my sprint is toggled on or off, so I'll press sprint multiple times until I can tell that I'm actually sprinting. If my button presses are too close together, though, I'll accidentally trigger Dash. My suggestion: If toggle sprint is enabled, change the activation trigger to HOLDING sprint for half a second.

Using the Mule hotkey to activate Hover Boots seems like an odd choice as it's not a hotkey you usually need to bother pressing under time pressure. My suggestion: Trigger Hover Boots by holding jump, which seems much more intuitive for an ability that gives your character upward momentum. There is the slight issue that jumping also ends the hover effect, so I'd say once it's triggered, give the ability a half-second period during which it can't be cancelled.

Mission type or maybe a machine event style occurence where there is an underground water hazard, and in order to complete it, management sends down a machine that takes the water and breaks it down into oxygen and hydrogen so that they don't have to put it elsewhere, maybe with a little pump robot that you have to defend from water enemies that attack you and the robot if you try to enter their soggy domain.

If making it a mission you could make a valuable, underwater-exclusive resource for the dwarves to collect after they have drained the water, maybe oversized clams that have special pearls inside or a mineral that only forms in cave water.

The water hazard missions/events would probably also be more common or less common/impossible depending on biome, being more likely in crystalline caverns, fungus bogs, dense biozone, and azure weald, uncommon/rare in salt pits, sandblasted corridors, and radioactive exclusion zone, and impossible in glacial strata and magma core.

Sometimes there are big rocks in the desert,they expand and shrink under the heat of the day and the cold of the night,this causes tension within the rock. This will make them split after enough time,which is described as sounding like thunder. My idea is that for the sand blasted corridors there is a chance a rock like this will spawn and if he gets hit too much by bullets,pickaxes or stray mactera-/spitball shots,he will break and reveal something expensive (maybe compact gold,bittergem,an error cube or something completely new) while also makeing a loud noise. This loud noise will trigger a swarm.

Bigger payout

+/- either shorter time limit, or Higher health of event / more required objectives

Only spawns on Haz 4+ (so as to not overwhelm Haz 3 players)

Coil OC idea
Bolt Distributor

The gun fires off weaker, inaccurate beams at higher rate of fire automatically while the trigger is held.

"A shorter, focused barrel and recycling multi chamber design allows the Coil gun to fire prematurely in smaller, weaker needle blasts. The battery fail safe will force overheating recycle at full charge to prevent the gun from melting, and the spread is far greater.

-Greater cooldown time
-greatly Lowered damage
-greater recoil and spread
-The weapon automatically overheats at full charge.
Consumes less ammo each burst at a faster rate of fire.
(Turns the coil gun into a difficult to control spray needle gun for tight quarter crowds. Similarly the oc could just keep the gun from fully charging and instead overheat at full charge)

Dark morkite beer is not as generically useful as other beers. Whenever dark morkite is up, and it is NOT a mining mission it is always ignored. For all the other specialty beers they are almost always useful in all situations. I think dark morkite beer should be tweaked somehow to be more useful overall in all mission types... Maybe such as giving a small bump in health when depositing any minerals?

There was an old concept art of a seeming mineral mimic, and I am going off of that design, mineral mimics can appear as:
Morkite
nitra
gold
croppa
umanite
magnetite
bismor

morkite, nitra, gold and croppa appear as the old model, a long thick stick-like figure, it has 6 thin legs with 2-toed claws and a barracuda like mouth crossed with a glyphids. it's extremely fast, damage of a glyphid slasher and has resistances to everything except melee and explosive damage, complete immunity to poison, the umanite, magnetite and bismor mimics appear as decently-sized hermit crabs which are slow and can tuck down to ignore all damage except for melee, and has the same resistance / weakness factor as the others. each of these mimic's have a 1/5 chance to take place of a ore vein, the ore vein will be rather small to compensate for it's normal size, these monsters classify as other and drop 2x minerals to well compensate!

-Shield cannot recharge unless it's broken first
-50% slower shield recharge

Escort missions last room has lots of oil to collect for Doretta, but mission doesn't need it.
So my suggestion is:
Doretta start mining heartstone when we reach it, but what if we would have an option to boost Doretta's drill speed by collecting that oil that is in that last room? By doing this we would boost drill speed, but it would generate a lot more noise, and that noise lures more enemies to heartstone. This could be optional, so you could start drilling like it is now, but you could choose if you want to boost drill speed and risk failing the whole mission for Doretta's overdrive.

Can we please consider a reset option on the game loadouts?

I know a lot of suggestions are made casually but damn if this isn't something that impedes my ability to enjoy the game. Coming back after spontaneous breaks always feels like a clutter of trying to understand what you had on your last loadout and how things worked when it would be way easier to start from a stock Dwarf again if you had a choice. A better system of organization as a whole would generally just be fantastic for going through all your perks and weapon upgrades as rn it feels like filing out paperwork to get into a quick match.

As the game's features get larger and more things are added I believe even a simple stock reset should especially be considered.

Has no effect in solo missions and will never be selected for Deep Dives.

Any player who is dead at the end of the mission doesn't receive any:

-Assignment advancement if the mission was part of an assignment
-All XP they would normally gain
-Anything they wouldn't lose upon leaving (Matrix cores that were infused during the mission, cosmetics from cargo crate/lost pack etc)
-Credits from anything other than gold/bittergem/shards (primary and secondary objectives, data cell etc)
-Performance points, including from a data cell if one was found

If at least one player is dead by the end of the mission, their share of gold/bittergem/tyrant shard credits and crafting minerals is shared between all surviving players

Additionally, friendly fire damage is doubled. Have fun with your teammates trying to kill you at the end of every mission 💀

Hi all,
Today there was an update for DRG that made the game "Optimized for Xbox Series X|S". However, the game now runs worse than before, with framerate issues, specifically on my Series S. The game doesn't look any different from before. What would make me happy is if Ghost Ship Games patched the game so that it runs as great as it did before the update. It ran nearly perfectly before the update, when it was still "Optimized for Xbox One".

While I dislike giving this to Driller because of the potential behind it, I can't think of another character that would be able to use this. (Can only trust engie with this)

If driller could somehow move uranium and shock crystals for defensive purposes. Creating a free electrical/ poison fence to constantly debuff whatever comes by using only the environment has a lot of potential, but is usually up to the mercy of the map generation.

On the other hand letting engie tap into these crystals to give his turrets an elemental effect... 😳

Increase kick limit. I've only felt compelled to kick someone three times in 170 hours of gameplay. I wasn't able to kick the third one, presumably because I kicked the second one earlier that same match. If we happen to have multiple people that are disruptive and detrimental in the same match, we should be able to kick as many of them as fit that description.

Multiple ideas for better flares.
a perk that would either increase flare life time or brightness or reduce the time it takes to recharge flares maybe call it flare expert or flare fanatic
it could be a beer that did the same as the perk or maybe make flares deal AOE damage i think a name for the beer would be neon light or flare flagon
or it could just be a series of upgrades if it would be the upgrades
i think for the first row you would have to choose between flare duration. light. or recharge time
for the second row it would be an extra flare. flare recharge time.
i think choosing for the third row should nullify the first and second upgrades. the third row upgrades could be sticky flares or the AOE damage flares
(the AOE would have to be only good against swarmers)
(id say flares that stay in the air while there active and fall after there spent but it would be to similar to sticky flares)
(everything else i can think of for the third row would be busted op)

Devs mentioned during their last stream that the spawn chance of Nemeses will be toned down to match the shift of focus away from the Rival Corps for whatever Season 3 will be about. I found Nemeses rare enough and most of the time didn't affect the mission too much.... except when they would randomly spawn out of nowhere in the middle of a blizzard or a sandstorm. It was a huge 'OH CRAP' moment to have one right on you with the low visibility

Possibility to tweak Nemesis spawn to increase in rate during sandstorms and blizzards and maybe even the flight back to the droppod? Just to make their encounters really stand out.

Communication Disruption (Alternatively "Comms Interference" to make it sound less like Shield Disruption) Modifier
-All Mission control voice lines are garbled in some way, maybe static and interference for the voicelines, and some scrambled words and/or replacing characters in displayed with similarly sized ones.
-Mission Control swarm warnings may occur, earlier or later or not at all with music and anything else following the Mission Control Voice lines mostly... Music would still play during a swarm but start more abruptly about the same time you hear bugs borrowing in. (Maybe a late mission control voice line would sound panicked and rushed just before a swarm hits.)
-Incorrect Mission Control Voice lines, Followed by a correct voice line just before or as the swarm is starting.
-Chat and Voice Chat and Dwarf voice lines would have a bit of static added, but only things that wouldn't affect things too badly, abit of radio static for voice chat, Replacing an i or l with a 1 or j or similarly narrow character (wouldn't affect extremely short message like r).
-Resupply pods are given a cylindrical area they can land, meaning being off center, or even landing up on a ledge or down in a nearby cave.
-Status of your Fellow Dwarves doesn't get updated in real time being greyed out when they aren't in view sorta like a fog of war.
-Pings only show a regular ping dot and do not display the names of objects (pinged enemies would appear as a moving dot) voice lines remain accurate, so paying attention would be important.

Suggestion: Consumable sandwiches for healing/buff purposes.
Something like having an actual canteen/kitchen on the Space Rig where you can assemble your own sandwich combinations to take on missions, that then have X amount of uses and give you temporary buffs or healing based on ingredients.
Could be as simple as the brews in the bar: Pick one pre-made sandwich to bring. Or it could be almost like the gun-upgrade screen where you choose which ingredients to layer together into a complete sandwich.
Could even make them a critical resource in need of managing by making you unable to get more through resupply. You can't exactly make more sandwiches when you're several hundred meters deep in Hoxxes 4 and away from the Space Rig kitchens after all. This way they can come even more in clutch during Deep Dives.
Management probably won't mind us packing a lunch either. A hungry dwarf is an unproductive dwarf, after all.

This was inspired by the flavor text on the Ammo upgrades: "You had to give up some sandwich-storage, but your total ammo capacity is increased!"

Suggestions for the GK2 if a rework were on the table:

-Burst Fire should be the default for the weapon; three shots in rapid succession, and the mag size should be appropriately adjusted.
-One mod should be dedicated to a “mode switch” that allows you to either go full-auto, or single shot, with appropriate buffs given for each.
-OCs would be constructed to build off of the burst fire, granting bonuses for hitting with multiple shots.
-Volley OC that makes it into a pseudo-shotgun.
-Electric OC that begins inflicting electrocution on subsequent bursts when you successfully land all shots in a burst. Resets if you miss or reload.
-Clean OC that increases the damage of the last bullet in a burst if all bullets land.

GK2 does need love guys.

Allow people that were previously in a specific Deep Dive to attempt a reconnect on that server multiple times, basically adding them to a "whitelist" for that server. Because as I understand it now you can only attempt to reconnect once, and if that fails you cannot attempt to reconnect again (correct me if i'm wrong of course), though i don't see why you can't just try again.

Different sounds for overclocked weapons could be a neat idea (as more of a Quality of Life change for the future)
A couple of examples I could think of right off the bat:

Elephant Rounds for the Bulldog could have an even louder, more punchy KaTHUNK! similar to its real life counterpart
Electrocuting Focus Shots for the M1000 count have some electric BZZT! mixed in with the default charged shot sound (perhaps a thin electrical tracer as well?)
Face Melter for the Crpsr could have a more ferocious sound, almost like the flames are roaring
Any overclock with embedded detonators could have a little thwp! sound, as if you're firing little explosive needles or something into the bugs

Of course, this is all purely cosmetic stuff and shouldn't take priority over the main features of the game. However, I still think little things like this would be a very welcome addition.

Some suggestions for the Abyss Bar :

Allow dwarves to buy drinks for themselves, instead of the current "buy four drinks at price of one". As leaf lover as this sounds, I've seen some dwarves get wee bit annoyed that someone else is ordering a special effect drink when they're trying to buy today's special. Two beers meant that instead of going into the mission drunk, most would opt to suicide/leafloverspecial to properly sober up before starting aproper.
Allow only the host to buy drinks, or somehow transfer Llyod's attention to someone else? Similar to above, I've encountered a few cases where dwarves would deliberately stay in the order menu and keep Llyod preoccupied, and not allow others to buy drinks. Kicking is one countermeasure, for sure, but some anti-griefing measure would be well appreciated.
Also, give dwarves a choice to accept or reject a drink bought by someone else. A Yes/No prompt before Llyod pours the drink, maybe. Yet again, more harmless griefing here, this one goes to put a cap on dwarves who order nothing but leaf lovers to troll their friends.

New Weapon Ideas(For upcoming content).

Driller:

Thermite Launcher:
Shoots a Blazing hot Rod of thermite. It sticks to the enemy wich was hit first dealing contious Fire Damage and setting anything nearby on fire while even providing some light (around 50% more than a normal flare but not as much as the scout). Also the rods dont stick to terrain and their burn time is rather short (10 seconds).

Stats could be:
80 Impact damage
10 Countious AOE Damage for 10 seconds in an 3m radius.
4 Mag size
40 Shots base ammo.

Engineer:

Antimatter Gravity Tractor Beam or Short: AGTB 9000: Can pick up any non boss enemy (just one at a time) and Make it unable to move that way. Larger enemies take way more time to lock on and Pick them UP. (opressor 30 seconds until it can be picked up).
Picking up enemies doesnt use ammo but slowly drains your shield to get enough power. (an opressor should be able to get your shield down to 1 HP worth or 6 if you have the upgrade. If you loose the shield while picking something up or getting too low with it while getting something big the process will fail.
BUT it can also be used as a weapon. Any enemy picked up can be crushed in an instant using ammo wich depends on how large the enemy is. (pretorian as example uses 50 Charge ammo.)
In an emergency you can press R to create a Gravity shockwave infront of you up to 10m wich deals 130 Damage to anything but consumes your enitre magazine in the process.

Stats:
0 Damage pick up
500/s by crushing the target when picked up (grunt will use 5 ammo as example, swarmer 1 and so on that needs tweaking)
Mag size 100 Charge
Total Ammo: 1000-1500 ?

Beer suggestion.
"Tin Can".
Causes Dwarves to be incapable of speaking other than mimicking random sounds robots make for a little while.

Mug is a beer can with a handle made of a gear welded to the side.

Order lines:
"Oi Lloyd, I wanna get to know you better. Tin Cans for me and everyone!"
"Molly was acting up, can I get a Tin Can so I can ask her what her bloody problem is?"
"I wanna know if the turrets are badmouthing me, Tin Cans please!"

median crescent Sep 10, 2022, 5:46 PM

Gunner:

Cannonball Launcher nice :

Shoots Mini Cannonballs with high rate of fire and creating a Bullet Hell like never before. Each ball can bounce 8 times until it vanishes (hitting an enemy causes it to bounce as well). It looses 12.5% damage per bounce so with the last hit dealing only 1 Damage.
The first 2 hits also cause a small AOE of 1.5m radius with 5/2.5 damage. For gameplay reasons the Projectiles should bounce like rubber instead of heavy metal ones. To counter its high damage potential it should be very inacurate so its more or less a short range weapon or one to clear out tight spaces.

Stats:
20 Damage (looses 2.5 with each bounce)
5 Aoe (secound bounce 2.5 and 3rd to 8th no aoe at all)
30 Mag size
400 Total Ammo.

Scout:

Anti Materiel Rifle:

Has 2 Modes: High Explosive mode and Armor Piercing Mode. To Use it you have to stand still (a fresh take on scouts gameplay trading mobility for firepower (but he can still get away after a shot). High Explosive shoots a HESH Round wich deals 150 impact and 80 AOE Damage in an 3.5m Radius. (fire rate is 0.5 shots per second). AP Mode is different: Deals 400 Impact Damage and destroying any destroyable Armor in the process while dealing the full 400 damage. And Deals 50% damage even on targets with Undestroyable armor like Dreadnoughts. If the enemy is Grunt sized or smaller it can even pierce up to 5 Targets killing all in the process (only AP Round).
The AP Fire rate is also 0,5/s. It has a 4X Scope Mounted on it. (it works similar to the M1K but is even heavier and cant be hipfired on the go. Changing modes with R.

Stats:
150 Impact/80AOE in 3.5m Radius for HESH
400 Impact for AP
1 Mag Size
40 Total Ammo

For scouts weapon keep in mind that you still need 2 hits to kill a pretorian with AP and 3-4 HESH on haz 5. Combined with its slow ROF it serves as a weapon for Priority Targeting. And like i said it trades Fire rate and Hipfire for even more damage than the M1k.

is it possible to implement some recourse against scummy kicks from matches?
Yesterday I joined a weekly mission and finished it with the 3 other players. Then they chose the next weekly mission, so i stayed in the lobby. The mission started, it was escort. We played up to the Drill the core part and there i got kicked because "it was meant to be private game".
There was plenty of time to either tell me to leave or kick me before the mission started, but the host waited until the last 5ish minutes to kick me.
I think in such cases the mission counting as complete, would be nice

Can Steeve get like dwarf coloured armor when he's tamed to make it easier in a pitched firefight? on like Haz 5 when everything's coming at you it's harder to tell from the measly glow he gets.

He also dies really fast on higher difficulties and has bad AI which just gets him killed even faster, so another good change would be giving him something close to Bosco's AI where he can target based on pinging enemies or when you go down he will run over and kill everything on you so that your allies can get you back up easier. Or at least lower his cooldown.

If you're over 50% drunk and attempt to start a mission, Mission Control will get very agitated with you.

"Are you serious? You're drunk!"
"You are in no state to go down there!"
"As a reminder, your medical insurance does not cover anything that happens to you while you're drunk..."
"Unless you have a death wish, do not board the drop pod yet."

75-90% drunk:
"Are you deranged? You can barely stand!"
"(Long exasperated sigh) No, no, no, no, no, do not tell me you intend to go down there like that."
"This is a horrendously bad idea...please, for the love of all that is good in this world, sober up first."
"You're going to drive me to drink if you go down there like that!"

90% Drunk:
"Your funeral."

New Equipment Upgrade Tier for the equipment items. Y'all ever noticed that all of the Support/Mobility Tools only go up to 3rd Tier for upgrades? Well, I believe that adding a 4th utility tool upgrade tier will act as a nice compromise to those who want to add Overclocks to Support Tools without doing something ridiculous like, say, adding Overclocks to Support Tools. I don't know what could be added, but it definitely should allow for a bit of harmless customization for an often-overlooked part of the game's customizable toolset.

Plus, this adds the opportunity for a 5th tier of armor upgrades, which could even be a whole new tier of class-specific upgrades!

Passive Perk Idea:

Name:
True Dwarf

What it does:
Allows a Dwarf to put a second over clock on 1 weapon of their choice

Cost:
30 perk points ( cause it’s already pretty OP)

More balance:
It will take up the space of 2 passive perk slots

Reason:
More Chaos

Why the name:
Because dwarfs are often depicted as weapon smiths in fantasy tales which means “True Dwarf” is a reference to calling your dwarf a real dwarf since they make really strong weapons which is what the perk will do

velvet falcon Sep 11, 2022, 10:00 AM

I think it would be nice to be able to call in (like ammo) a pickaxe overcharger and the nanite bomb dispensers, assets are already there obviously. Simply acts like a mild buff that you have to keep coming back to. maybe extend the pick overcharge time to be more useful. I just think that having more stuff beside ammo to call in would be nice.

So this idea comes from the fact that there have been several missions. I've been on lately where my fellow dwarfs will join me on a mission and start to do what we dwarfs do best but, When the going get tough or when they go down they leave straight away ( which I can understand we all have are days and get frustrated special on hazard 5 and 4 ) but to be honest.

I'm a little tired of the failing mission because instead of pushing through or just taking the failure/loss together or heck use the perk that you choose they just leave instead. Which in turn leaves me or others to keep fighting and some time goes down themselves. Which then makes others leave and so on and on.

(So I guess my suggestion is) is there a way that the devs could at least give the person/people who won't just quiet or leave because of going down a chance to get up. Even if it is a one time thing like management sends an emergency Bosco or something that randomly heals one player then explodes, allowing the team or player a fighting chance. OR

As much as I don't like to hurt my fellow dwarfs, let them have a penalty, something that makes them rethink or just hesitate making that easy decision to leave us. Even if it is just like a timer stopping from joining that kind of mission again or area of mission for some time.

New Mission Warnings:

Low Nitra: Generating only 50% of the usual amount of Nitra.

Hydra: Larger enemies split in smaller on death (a opressor becomes 2 prets , a pret becomes 2 grunts and a grunt 2 swarmers.
(Why? Because it could be fun and make a new challenge) you get 75% ammo and HP instead of the usual 50% to counter the way larger enemy count. it also gives 30% extra reward.

Hate of Light: Enemies inside of the light of ANY non enemy related light source (be it from dwarfs molly or enviroment) take 25% less damage and deal 15% more damage and are 10% faster than usual. But the effect are reversed if they are in the dark having all their stats lowered for that percentages.

Bedrock: Terrain Takes now 10 hits to break regardless of the terrain type (driller can still drill but only with 50% speed and any explosives only carve out half of the usual terrain)

"Friendly" Foes? (yes written like that 😄 ) :
Enemies have an chance to attack others of their kind but the damage dealt to them heals the other for twice the HP dealt.

The Enemy of My enemy is my friend:
Rival bots and Glypids work together and nemesis can carry acid spitters on their back while normal drones can have a webspitter on them. While that isnt enough pretorians and opressors can call shredders to their aid if they get to low health. (40% extra reward due the painfull combinations nice )

Super Gravitation: Makes jumping almost impossible, scouts Grappling has only 50% range and you take 2 times as much fall damage. also grenades and other gravity affected projectiles react on that change.

Meet Nemesis V2: The mission has the 100% Unnerfed nemesis with its stupid high spawn rate BUT on top it has 50% higher stats than before. (THIS should give 100% more reward and should be for fun and greybeards as an special challenge for the ones who have seen and beaten anything else).

This may have already been suggested or modded or something but I feel like an endless horde objective whould be pretty neat. You defend a large tower, complete with resupplies and cover spots. I was thinking every class could build defenses, like barbed wire, manual turrets, and rails, like the ones in refinery. I do understand that this isn't a very new idea, but it whould spice up endgame content.

A Driller grenade that covers bugs in a substance that makes them take extra damage and temperature shifts, like the Slag element from Borderlands. This would give him a new way to contribute against big targets like bulks, dread, nemesis, and other big threats other than Impact Axes, and would help support teammates. I don't know what the substance in the grenade should be, but I do think that it would be funny if it were Leaf Lover's Special, as the "beer" would weaken whatever it covered with the same power with which it weakens whoever drinks it. Plus, the image of a weaponised can of beer is pretty funny, and fits into Driller's arsenal as yet another war crime

Some sort of adjustment to snowball and ice spear, at least on console. Because right now, they feel bad. So many standard actions involves the press of the X button (on Xbox), and if I dont remember to stow my cryo cannon before doing it, suddenly my gun is depressurized and i burnt a lot of ammo needlessly. Makes the OCs clunky at best, and a possibly game-failing hazard at worst. Perhaps make it work similar to the ommoran laser's overcharge where you press reload whilst already firing?

Might have already been suggested but anyway. Bosco overclocks. Currently have 3 ideas:

"Like a dwarf" - Bosco also benefits from your buff beers. Eg: he also has increased gold from mining, transports eggs faster etc... (have some of the useless ones changed for him such as red rock increasing the amount of health you start on after a revive)

"Combat overdrive" - Bosco has enhanced combat AI. Will targets weakpoints, higher priority targets (bulks, menaces etc...), automatically use his rocket on large hords of mactera

"Good minion" - quality of life changes such as the ability for him to grab fossils and similar, light up rooms, automatically mine compressed dirt, he can automaticaly builds the uplink (does all but a tiny slither of building on it), reload setries if pinged etc...

Would just be nice to make him more useful for solo players. How these are found is up to devs, maybe give them for reaching x rank or completing x solo missions.

New Boss Idea:

Glypid Carrier: While not really connected to each other, Macteras and Glypids seemed to join forces in terms of Evolution to counter our Miners. Well seems there is a new kind of Dreadnought like Glyphid that can Give birth to Dozens of Macteras at a time. Take them out before they become too much and shut down the Operations, we dont want to Nuke the Planet again and wait for the Radiation to settle like the last time. (The blown of chunk of Hoxxes as lore part in the way DRG tells the story by tooltips and other things/ only vague what was bombed back then).

Well it is a Heavy armored Dreadnought wich is invicible like the Hiveguard, but it periodically releases a group (20-30) Macteras at once. After it gave birth it has to rest and can be damaged until either all macteras are dead or the timer runs out for a new group to be born. Before it makes a new group when the timer runs out it will also attack you by Biting and shooting small Fireballs (no AOE but 3-4 at once in a random shotgun like pattern (low damage per shot tough). To counter the large ammount of macteras they have to wake up for 5-10 seconds before they attack (all random between that time so no all wake up and attack at once). A good c4 throw will kill all at once while still waking up and damaging the dreadnought as well. BUT if it takes too much damage at once it can enrage giving birth nonstop for 30 seconds with 2 macteras per second but it is also invincible. The period when it can be attacked should be around 20 seconds.

I know the concept and how i suggest it sounds really wierd 😄 BUT isnt Hoxxes the place for the most disgusting wierd and unusual things? (aside from lootbugs and steeve of course nice )

Id love to see a mission type where you have to climb (not climb,climb) along and down a giant ravine,that you cant just dig through because its extra hard compressed granit. I dont know if it would fit drg with the whole sci-fi and avoid fall damage thing,but i would love to feel like im climbing mount everest,just the other way around. As for what to do down there,maybe management needs some samples of local flora and fauna,wants to place machines to mesure the local seismic activity (and defend it against swarms) or needs a small hive eradicated or tyrant-weed/dreadnought killed. In my mind the mission should be around 1 and to 2 ish hours long. I dont know if such a thing would work,since it would take long to load and is quit different from anything weve had before,but im just here throwing out ideas

tribal chasm Sep 13, 2022, 3:41 PM

#

Mission Idea: Planet-Cracking
Over-mined portions of Hooxes surface are causing dangerous levels of seismic activity with their structural weakness, so DRG will use their space stations large mining laser (deathbeam) to cut away chunks of less valuable rock from the planet and send them into space for subspace mining.

The team must manually guide a slow moving deathbeam (coming down from the ceiling and destroying terrain) underground as it cuts from location to location slowly following a random player within proximity of the beacon. Larger enemies than normal way spawn so the laser is a fun way to exterminate them. When the cutting is done, a series of earthquakes will begin and the area is plunged into low oxygen while the team escapes as the rock above them begins to dislodge from the planet. There could also be some cool laser diffractor device to use as turrets etc. The caverns would probably be large, like the bigger caves in Sandblasted Corriders, but with more cover.

An addition to the OMEN's bottom Module. A Dual Flamethrower module that will put hot sticky flames on the ground, along with lighting dwarves on fire. The flame jets would be on opposite sides of the module. The flame particles would act just like the flamethrower's. This segment would spurt flames in three ways. The module can choose to reverse the direction of the flamethrower for any one of these attacks, however the module will always attack in the set order.

Going around in a full 360, like the Twin Slicers
Spurt for 90 Degrees, stop for 90 Degrees, while rotating faster than the other two.
180, stop, Reverse 180.

I always felt like the lack of Variety for that bottom module was a little boring, so a new bottom module will add a bit of spice to the event. Maybe a Later update would be for the Top Module, which could lob grenades out of the top of the tower. Or a variation on the Heavy Burster, which would be a lock-on rocket launcher.

A new variety of Attack Module, a variation on the Heavy Burster. A Lock-On Missile Launcher that will acquire targets by laser designating them, then letting a barrage of missile go upon getting enough lock-on, or after a set time. Locking on takes a moment to do (1/2 - 1 second grace period), with an individual target able to receive multiple locks. The Lock-On System would use either a laser grid, or just another light (maybe blue). The longer a target is in the light, the more locks they accrue. This entire thing functions similarly to the Lok-1, or the Predator Launcher from Ratchet and Clank.

After a time, or after is hits a max number of Locks (16 Locks), or after a full-rotation, the module will release it's barrage of missiles, which will very reliably and relentlessly hunt down targets, though they aren't smart enough to navigate around terrain, just crashing into it if the target escapes behind it.

Hot Bullets for the Bulldog should instead cause Thermal Shock damage instead of just doing a x3 Multiplier to Burning Targets. Not only would this nerf the overclock so it's no longer busted, but it would make it useful against frozen targets as well. Of course, this would also normalize the target's temperature after they've been hit by the bullet, as per how Thermal Shock works.

Then this would allow you to change Napalm Rockets for the Hurricane back to the pre-nerf 25% Conversion without it synergizing so well with the Bulldog. Granted, the minigun did it better anyways.

Gunner promoted 7 times: "Optional fancy beer mug for the gunner to drink their beers out of"
Gunner promoted 10 times: "Legendary gunner jukebox dance emote"
Gunner promoted 20 times: "Unique beer that spawns excessive beach balls"

This should be flavored to each class even if there is only mild variation.

One of the most positive fun aspects of DRG is the "progression".
Unlocking every new weapon, cosmetic item, the season pass, all of it earned through blood sweat and tears. Like achievement hunting and being able to show off your achievements with something visible. The best part being none of it was pay wall locked.

If you give us a fun positive incentive that isn't hurting game balance with promoting our dwarves. You'll likely get many returning players who were once burnt out, coming back for the earnable novelties

My mate and I had a pretty silly idea for another thing to do on the space station. We noticed there are a lot of floating rocks/objects (if you didn't know, go look out the window some time, you might see some funny things). Also that the struts out the window are probably for a shield to protect from that. I'd like to suggest a button similar to the gravity button, perhaps up top in the restricted area above the drop pod or in one of the vent systems. This button will turn off the shield.
Dialogue ensues;
"Oh dear, it seems someone has turned off the stations shields, and right as a big rock is coming right for us. Might want to hold onto something miners, this'll be rough"
a couple of bangs and boops on the outer hull, followed by a large hunk of rock smashing through the window, causing everyone to begin getting swept out for a moment, before blast shields are dropped to close off the window.
a few more rumbles are felt and then the miners hear the shields booting back up
"Few, looks like the exterior has only suffered minor damage. To the dwarf responsible for this, your pay has been cancelled until that window is replaced"

Add a dull/slow strobe to nishanka bolts that are retrievable. They currently have a dull light to them but so do spent flares that are still stuck in the wall. Also it would be easier to identify at a distance that its a bolt.

I have also noticed that using normal bolts to clear zone hazards like the yellow fungus shrooms (not sure of formal name) that spew ignitable, toxic gas drops the bolt to the ground but it doesn't have any dull light to it compared to if it had been stuck in the ground/wall/ceiling.

I want an infinite gamemode. you just keep going deeper and deeper into the caves, getting as much loot as possible. idk how you would do it without affecting performance. I would say do it like how minecraft does it, but i feel like if this game tried to do that, the performance might tank, since the graphics of minecraft is intentionally simple to allow for the procedural generation to occur without performance drop (sort of)

Overclock (Unstable):
For: Breach Cutter
High Intensity Plasma

rocknstone +200 DPS
tothebone Beam moves 35% slower
Beam width is reduced -50%
-66% ammo

RnD overcharged the plasma coils in the Breach Cutter. Unfortunately it condenses the beam width and slows the movement speed by quite a bit, and the ammo is much more cumbersome to the integrity of the weapon.

Maybe instead of having a maximum amount you can carry for each resource just have a maximum number of all resources combined, this makes more sense in my eyes (you can't carry 70 morkite but you can carry 40 morkite + 40 gold + 40 nitra + ...). Would make more sense if you could carry 200 of all resources combined

Q'ronar Shellback Variants

Shellbacks are cool enemies, but they show up enough that they ought to have variants. What if you threw in a cousin of the shellbacks that consumes minerals?
This could present as something like....

a) Crystal Shellbacks: These guys have a dense layer of a mineral on their back (e.g. nitra, morkite, etc) that's been compressed from them consuming it, having it pop out on their outer layer, and them rolling around until it's smooth. I am not a biologist, but I would assume that this is how bugs and crustaceans work.
Gameplay-wise, this thing would be the same as a regular shellback, but it may hit harder and look cooler. This increased difficulty is compensated for by it having a precious resource on its back -- which crumbles into pieces upon its death. Nitra shellbacks would be a very rewarding kill for players, and other types could be considered depending on if they'd work or not. Morkite shellbacks could drop extra morkite on mining missions (and help with finicky maps), but whether this would work/fit in is up to the devs.

b) Iron-Shellbacks: This one likes eating metal and turning it into an extra hard shell. By consuming scrap metal (rival tech and abandoned dwarf gear), these guys have wider, thicker plate armour. They also get higher HP and damage. Due to their heavier shells, they're a little bit slower. Immune to electric damage and cannot be slowed.
Due to their metal plates, they can sense rival tech's machinery, and it agitates them. Iron Shellbacks attack any turrets, patrol bots, and shredders they comes across.
note: bot vs. bug stuff might not be great for performance, but at the very least it's cool lore.

These are just rough ideas, but I hope it's cool food for thought.

In Solo Play, pinging the Nanite Bomb Dispenser should set Bosco to Carry mode instead of Light mode. Bosco is fully capable of grabbing and passing the bombs to you currently. However, I've found that dropping the bombs on the ground for him to then pick up to be very inconsistent, as they tend to explode seemingly randomly whether throwing them at the lowest possible strength or dropping them by taking out the laser pointer. Altering this would also, I assume, pass this property on to the Node Dispenser as well.

A mission type in which the team finds a rare mineral deposit they must defend before the drop pod comes. The dwarves would defend this deposit by essentially creating a base around it, they can place: Turrets, Floodlights, Walls, Traps, etc. All of these things would cost a metal currency which each dwarf gets at the beginning of the round. The team would have to coordinate to ensure the currency is used to get the base to not get over run with bugs. Just like point extraction, the mineral deposit would be sent off before the rest of the team and afterwards there would be a mad dash to the drop pod.

Flares Upgrade Branch (Also posted into Steam)

Just like Weapons, and your armor have, add an upgrade branch to flares.
Upgrade branch options to pick between could include the following:

Brighter Flares - Flares illuminate slightly larger area
Efficient Flares - Flares last longer before burning out
More flares - An extra flare to throw added to the maximum capacity.
Faster Recharging - Recharge thrown flares slightly faster
Lightweight Flares - Throw flares Farther
Sticky Flares - Flares stick to the surface thrown at.

Do note: the upgrade options above maintain the flares as the support item and like current flares assist in no way of dealing any form of damage, or negative effect on biters, although options could exist if desired.

add invisible walls beneath point extraction and morkite refineries so that you can't be attacked one-way by glyphids from below when standing on them, or allow us to shoot through the floor holes (despite bullets often times being the size of a damned mason jar)

quartz dagger Sep 15, 2022, 5:51 AM

#

Another one, perhaps we could have different colorations for Glyphids depending on the biomes, similarly to how praetorians emit radiation on the exclusion zone rather than their usual poison spew. Examples could be that in magma core/sandblasted corridors the glyphid color scheme for their shells might be black/grey, in hollow bough/salt pits it'd be reddish (but not so much as to make them mistakeable for a spitter), and in places like azure weald or glacial strata they'd have a bluish hue. Reason for this suggestion would be that the glyphids could have some form of cryptic coloration to blend in with the surroundings of the area they're nesting in.

Collectibles

A separate Bestiary that’s main point is to “Collect Em All” to unlock a secret beard
The creatures in the Bestiary would be mole-like/ diglet looking creatures with slightly different aspects depending on what biome their in and what event is going on which you can collect by grabbing them and depositing into molly
Examples:

Crystalline Caverns Mole:
-Thunder Mole,Thunder Crystal on its head that shocks you when ever it’s activated by the other thunder crystals nearby, spawns next to thunder crystals
-Crystal Mole, super rare mole spawns randomly in the caverns and has crystal antlers

Salt Pits Mole:
-White Salt Mole, spawns on fallen salt stalactites and is a white mole with salt formations on its head
~Red Salt Mole, super rare red mole that spawns randomly in pits with red salt spikes sticking out

Glacial Strata Moles:
-Frozen Mole, mole inside an ice cube which spawns after a blizzard
~Cosy Mole, super rare mole with floofy earmuffs and hot coco in its paws which spawns randomly in strata

Sandblasted Corridors Moles:
-Blasted Mole, a pile of sand with a lil nose sticking out which spawns after sandstorm
-Golem Mole, super rare mole which randomly spawns in corridors and looks like a mole statue with glowing eyes

Etc

Basically you get the idea, little creatures that randomly spawn which you can add to your collection

The Reward:
The Secret Beard called Collector which is just a huge beard that has moles randomly popping out and going back in

Reason to add this:
-Would give more reasons to visit specific biomes
-More things to do in the game

The damage of the praetorian's breath attack should scale with the distance between the player and the praetorian. This would serve to offset how large the hitbox is, and actually emulate how such an attack would logically work: after all it makes sense that the more it disperses, the less damaging it is. Sometimes you just can't avoid it due to the size of the hitbox, and it can be pretty damaging on haz 5

The pollinator flower in the biozone could give a speed boost to whatever living being is walking next to it

Maybe a one use only plant to replenish or stabilise for some seconds the oxygen bar during oxygen missions so that its not as lethal in uncoordinated lobbies and rewards scouts that are able to find it

One combat related plant could be of the same species of the leviathan green plant miniboss but instead of killing you with normal projectiles instead lures you to a platform that maybe grows spikes or gets full of intoxicating gas

tbh I've always been liking the idea of having more passives tbh. these are a few I've had in mind tbh, most of which were kinda inspired from payday 2, lol

parkour: grants a small increase to jump height and the distance needed to climb up ledges. when your shields break (or you drop below %50 hp in shield disruption,) your movement speed is increased by %25 for 5 seconds

run and gun: you can sprint in any direction and reload your weapons while sprinting.

overclocked shield: you always regenerate a small amount of shields, even after taking damage. higher shields restore more in each interval, but after a longer delay, and vice versa. (shield regen buffs either don't affect this or affects the delay between regenerating shield, idk what's more balanced)

take a breather: you heal a small amount of health after a swarm ends. consuming red sugar has a small chance (like %10 maybe) to leave the crystal behind, allowing other teammates to heal from it too

salvo: you can carry an additional grenade (or perhaps multiple depending on the type) and can throw grenades further and faster

looter: lootbugs will drop (or has a chance to drop) materials from the current region, along with nitra and gold. increases the damage dealt to lootbugs by %50

New Mission Idea

Name: Preventative Recycle

Mission Type: Stationary

Description: "Management sends you to dismantle and scrap the leftovers of the previous mission. Normally they'd leave it be if it didn't turn out to be a fodder for the local wildlife making them much stronger and fiercer than before. We're sending you a cargo drop pod and let's clean their plate."

In short, you're going to the cave with the machinery remains of the previous missions such as mine head platforms etc. The special cargo pod arrives with you which has large shredder and bomb dispenser built in. Your goal is to blow the remains until the debris and toss them to the shredder filling the built-in cargo. You have to fill it to 100% to activate the drop pod and leave.

But to make things more complicated, the machinery became the nest of the local wildlife, especially for the lot of Xynarchs and their relatives. These bastards are able to absorb or repel the bombs so you have to take them down before you'll even lie your hands on the metal. These appear to be feisty though - some can try to leap on you and paralyze all of your gear for a while. You have to struggle to get it off, your friends can help too.

Also, every use of bombs and shredder has a high chance of triggering the swarm.

(It could be a good opportunity to introduce new types of enemies in kind of Xynarchs we can meet only occasionally with BET-C.)

NEW MISSION TYPE: Scarred Goliath.
Something akin to the Caretaker, a large Glyphid in a giant arena
"Scanners have picked up a cache of missing company tech on the move, likely tied to some peculiar seismic activity, likely a large life form you'll need to neutralize"
Mission objectives would be to activate seismic lures to draw the Goliath to an arena/large chasm. The Goliath is covered in weapons and tech, malfunctioning automatic weapons and explosives. It would be a slow-moving boss that occasionally fires off volleys of turret fire and explosives on top of attacking with its giant mouth and forelimbs. the goal would be to kill the Goliath and retrieve the salvageable tech.

NEW PERK: Gold Digger (Passive)
when equipped, Gold breaks in 1 less swing and is valued at 1.1x

NEW PERK: Automated defense (Active)
when downed, you can activate a defense system for 10 seconds that fires upon nearby glyphids
(Passive) return fire against distant enemy attacks I.E. Acid/Web spitters, Rival Tech Turrets

NEW ENEMY TYPE: Rival Tech mine drone
Similar to the glyphids, Mine drones explore the tunnels of Hoxes, stealing dropped minerals and attacking nearby miners with their pick-like appendages

Secondary objectives need a bit of love if you ask me. Right now they're all fetch quests except fester fleas which isn't much different. Some ideas I had:

-For on-site refinery missions, another liquid resource well (Eg Dystrum dystrum /Hollomite ) that you can optionally connect a pipeline to before starting the pump sequence. Would have its own progress bar and leaks on it wouldn't stop the main pump sequence so you can still evac without getting it if necessary.

-For industrial sabotage, have there be some other rival operation in the area you can optionally shut down for the secondary objective, like destroying an automated shredder drone factory

-For salvage operations, the secondary objective could be salvaging some other thing around the cave like an abandoned on-site refinery for which you have to mine oil shale to refuel the rocket boosters to send the cargo rocket back to orbit

-For Elimination, the secondary objective could be an optional boss fight themed around Mactera/Naedocytes, or to kill a certain amount of a certain enemy (considering the point of the mission is to destroy dreadnoughts who might otherwise pose a threat to operations in the area, exterminating a specific enemy would make sense)

#

Also give beast master a passive effect: Fester Fleas and Huuli Hoarders don't run away from you so long as you don't attack them.

Upgrade the Drilldozer Misson

Currently the drilldozer mission is… okish, and I feel like it doesn’t have enough fun things going on for a mission that long, so here are my ideas to make drilldozer mission better and more fun:

Different reasons to Stop
Instead of stopping for a fuel recharge there should be other reasons e.g:

~Glyphid Gunk
lots of bug parts all over the drilldozer is causing it to malfunction and can’t locate the Ommaron Heart Stone anymore, scrub it off and continue

~Bucket of Bolts
Dolly’s screws and bolts fell off and now you have to go find them by backtracking and collecting them on the Drilldozers old path and bringing them back to Dolly

~Autobots Assemble
The Drilldozers head shot out, go find it wherever it landed and reattach it to the body by doing a little mini game of connecting the correct wires to each other

~Stuck
Dolly’s wheels (?) got rocks and stones stuck in them, use your pick axe to pry them out

Better Ommoran Fight
More variety in the final fight that would happen randomly after stage 1 e.g:

~Rock Tornado
literally a tornado of Ommaron rocks chasing you until the phase ends that will deal a lot of damage to Dolly, only way to protect her is by staying away from her (each player will have their own tornado)

~Shockwaves
The Heart Stone will realise high damaging shockwaves that can only be avoided by staying on higher ground

~Spiky Rock
The Heartstone will summon sharp rocks to surround itself which it will then use to shoot at you if you aren’t hiding behind cover

Extra:
~stage 2 and 3 should both have something happening and stage 4 should have 2 hazards happening

When you order a drink, you either get 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on the amount of dwarves you have in your lobby. However, the ingredient cost is the same nonetheless, you use the same ingredients for 4 beers for 4 dwarves vs. 1 beer for 1 dwarf. If they can make 4 beers out of the same amount of ingredients it costs for 1 beer, why can't I order 3, or 4 for myself? And having to continuously re-order your favorite drink is so bothersome, especially when you can't see straight. Introducing the Bar Queue!

Now you can tell Lloyd to make you up to 4 of the same drink, or if you cannot decide between two, you can tell him to make 2 of each type. Or even 1 of 4 different types. Maybe you just want him to keep the drinks coming, a continuous mode would make him keep the bar stocked with your favorite beer(s) as long as you can pay him for it, making for the perfect party and opportunity for your friends to use up all of your "generosity". I know I have tons of ingredients just waiting to be used and this would be the perfect way to spend them.

With the 2 grenades we’ve gotten so far I feel like engie or driller should get a bayblade type grenade, it could bounce around between bugs and maybe look like a drill and once it hits enough bugs or falls over it explodes and sends small bits of shrapnel out

The choice to use the stock paint scheme for weapons using alternative frameworks. I love the aesthetic of the Builder's Choice framework, since it gives a little extra bulk to smaller, fragile-looking weapons like the Drak-25, but the industrial yellow-on-blue color scheme is a little offputting in some scenarios... That and it really clashes with your armor. For example, I'd like my CRSPR to have the same colors as the stock frame- red fuel tanks, armor-matching yellow, and brown handles- but have the bulk of the Builder's Choice frame instead. I'd also like to armor-up Bosco with the war veteran frame, but keep him in his usual high-visibility yellow paint. Maybe change the "stock" paint scheme's name to "default"

Weapon Ideas

These are merely just my ideas of what kinds of weapons I’d like to see in the game that would fit into the “cheap corrupt company” setting that DRG has going:

~Gravity Gun:
Looks like a minigun, as a reload animation a small trapdoor opens on the top of the gun that sucks in rocks and stones with the power of gravity, once charged you can use it similar to the plasma pistol the longer you hold down the shoot button the stronger the attack will be once you let go, you will essentially be stoning the bugs to death with “nice boulders” of all sizes

~Thorn Gun:
A shotgun looking weapon that uses the Red Vines/ Thorns from the Hollow Bough as ammo, once shot at an enemy it will stun the enemy with its own cool animation of the bug being tangled in the vines, basically a trapper gun that also does chip damage the longer the bug is stuck (this will most likely be a secondary weapon)

~Thunder Rifle:
A rifle that has 2 thunder crystals from Crystalline Caverns attached to the top that needs a second or 2 to charge up to release a constant stream on crackling lightning generated by the 2 crystals, it will cause a shock build up but it won’t have accurate aim since lighting is unpredictable (this would have an overclock potential being “accurate aim”)

~Ninja Stars as a grenade option

~Frequency Manipulator:
an smg with a satellite attached to the end, this gun would cause enemies to have a new meter that goes up the more the enemy is in the frequency radius, once the meter is filled the enemy will explode and damage enemies around it

~Terrain Grenades:
The upgrades of these grenades will allow you to choose to either create terrain or destroy terrain, Create = will create a giant pillar where ever it was thrown (good for defence and transportation), Destroy = will create a big pit wherever it was thrown (good for trolling and slowing down enemies)

~Mushroom Fart Gun:
Shoots out poisonous gas made by mushrooms that only affects bugs

is it me, or should the driller's HE grenades explode on contact instead of on a timer? tbh it would help a lot more with mining minerals that are out of reach for driller without having to bounce the grenade.
it would also be more viable against bugs too for obvious reasons, there have been so many times where I've missed a HE grenade because the swarm kept moving past it

So, here's my suggestions;

Micro Grenade launcher (Gunner): Belt Fed grenade launcher that fires in short arcs, that ragdolls Glyphids and knocks them away. Upgrades include bigger belts, increased knockback, shrapnel or armor breaking grenades, and rocket boosts for decreasing arc drop over range.

AKA-M (Engineer): Literally a relic AK in spees. Upgrades include drum magazines, bigger caliber for increased damage, and a choice between underbarrel grenade launcher, underbarrel shotgun, or underbarrel plasma launcher.

Sonic Cannon (Driller): Uses compressed sonic waves to rattle and liquify the target. Upgrades include increased range, bigger battery for use, increased armor penetration damage, chances to trigger thermal/cryo explosions, and scare away enemies while firing.

Elephant Gun (Scout): A big gun, but you only get two shots. Upgrades boost ammo count, reload speed, critical damage, give a recoil boost when firing, and specialist rounds such as incendary, explosive, hollow points etc.

Concussion Grenades: When thrown, these grenades explode on impact, knocking away anything in the blast radius and stripping off any armor, as well as limited terrain destruction.

Prospector's Gaze: A beer in the Abyss, all dwarfs who consume this concoction get a persistent highlight on all primary and secondary objectives and all exposed mineral veins up to 25m.

Long-term flares: Burn longer, but not as bright. Great for small areas.

Ascension Lines: Ziplines, but in a vertical manner. Can be upgraded to cover a longer distance.

Passive Perk idea:

Powered Pickaxe:

Now electrocutes enemies for 1 second / 4 ticks with 2 damage per tick but looses 50% of its normal hit damage against enemies (so even with see you in hell you wont 1 shot a bug anymore) i think it could help in certain situations to keep the bugs away from you without making it too strong since it looses a lot of damage for vampire as example. Also it should have a 2 second cooldown to prevent perma stun of enemies (so they can still hurt you but if you use it in the right way it could give you and advantage to get distance between you and the bug). Charge attack is still unaffected by it. And no if an enemy dies by electrocution it doesnt trigger vampire.

Could also be made in an active perk with some tweaks (maybe stun duration and tick damage is 6 seconds with 4 damage every 0.25 seconds up but its only for 30 seconds with an 4 minute cooldown ?)

Suggestion: If you press the button to call the M.U.L.E. while holding up your laser pointer, the M.U.L.E. goes to the location you are pointing at

It also might be interesting to be able to manually place her on the ceiling, since there's (To my knowledge) no way of doing that currently

Grenade for Engineer. When thrown mini suicidal drones appear, where they will go for the nearest target unless a specific target is pinged. They will precede to charge at whatever you target and will try to aim for the weak points, however they will happily explode off armour (Example Praetorian's) but when they do, they do no damage and have less of a explode radius. I would say 3-4 of these depending on how much damage it will do. (Edit, 1 drone per throw)

A melee weapon secondary for the gunner. Maybe it's like a spiked mace that doubles as a ball and chain. Maybe it has a charged attack capable of hitting multiple enemies or dealing splash damage of some kind. If it's for a front line damage dealer like gunner, then maybe the charged attack should give some shield back or that could be an overclock or regular upgrade.

This is a little out there but if ghost ship wanted to go a little wild i had an idea for a crazy mission type. So basically the dwarves would be dropped in deep with a mech thats kinda like a mix of the mech from alien two and the mechs from the third matrix movie it would have big guns and some sort of mining equipment. You can deposit in it and maybe have multiple pilots. You and your team have to drive and escort this thing down a cave and maybe even do a refueling thing like the one for doretta. Once you get to your destination you find whatever comes out of the dreadnought cocoon when its done doing its metamorphosis thing. It would have some sort of lair that it made for itself and send waves of all sorts of bugs. To defeat it you would use the mech to hit weak points or something to take it down. (Edit) one person could control the weapons and mining tools and another person could move it around so more teamwork is needed to operate the mech and the other two players on the team could hang off the side of the mech and shoot bugs

Overclocks for our pickaxes. Please get more creative than me on this if implemented. Examples:

A) Unstable Overclock. Pickaxe is much slower to swing, but every hit does massive damage to 2 block spaces (not enemies).

B) Clean Overclock. Pickaxe does +1 terrain damage

C) Balanced Overclock. Pickaxe swings much quicker, but it's damage against bugs tickles at best.

We also could fight enemy fighters in space as well. Damn, what a dream that came to me also.

Community hosted dedicated servers

Binary provided for Windows and Linux (Linux is the most prevalent server operating software)

Players can choose any dedicated server they aren't banned from that is available to them (that has free instance slots) with an indication on how close it is to them.

Dedicated servers which contain mods cannot host vanilla (unmodded) matches.

If you host a dedicated server (are added as an admin), this server is, when you wish to use a dedicated server for hosting, placed at the top of the list.

If the party leader leaves the game, the earliest player that joined after the former party leader becomes party leader. This bypasses the whitelisting setting as ending the match would be unfair to other players and gives the chance for the leaving/disconnecting player to rejoin the match.

Settings include:

Max. number of instances

Steam only, MS Store only, mixed operation (no Crossplay)

Administrators (Steam IDs or XBL IDs)

Whitelisting (Server only being available for specific Steam IDs and XBL IDs as party leaders)

Administrator abilities:

Admins can override kick commands (veto them) of current party leaders (golden crown).

Admins are kick immune under any circumstances.

Admins cannot be muted.

Admins can bypass kick disabling, because they usually pay for the dedicated server.

Servers and matches which are host on a server which has an unusual amount of near-end kicks are marked as untrusted.

Don’t reset class level to 1 on promotion. Leave the rest of the system as is — assignments every 25 levels, reset XP required. Just let the number go up. I think this would be clearer and less confusing, Level reset feels like a leftover from when all progress was reset.

Melee weapon as primary slot for each Dwarf.
There are perks in game that interact with melee pretty well like increase damage after being hit, Health from kills, and berserk. But melee is more or less last resort when it comes to Combat since we have mutch more reliable srjcks that do noisy noise and Flashy flashes, and bugs are particulary efective at turning dwarfen ass into sashimi.
But what if instead of it being a desperate last try to chop your way into drop pod, we coud Focus on it. It woud be a primary slot weapon for each class. They woud instead of ammo use baterries for lets say force fields that woud be direct place of contact with enemy bugs. Scout coud have dual wielding Hammers, driller dual wielding axes that he coud throw like one of his grenade option that woud Come back to him after either going for them directly or pressing button that woud be on cooldown, gunner coud have a huge hammer-axe type thing that woud deal massive damage on slow swings and it coud have 2 modes. Either Hammer that woud deal huge damage and partially ignore/break armor and axe woud be a swing attack for more cleave attack. How you woud change modes?... Ju.. just rotate it idiot! And engineer... I dunno give him a spear or some shit, im sure that nerd will be able to figure something out. Those are just an example and i dont imagine that they woud fully, partially, or even at all be implemented as described if melee option woud be implemented. All tho i belive that olaceing them as primary option does have the most sence since we woud commit to melee, it woud Come to our secondaries to deal with any range threats.
Why woud implementing a melee weapon be a good idea?
I just think its a very dwarfy thing to go to a big problem and smack it with an even bigger "solution"

Option to turn off voicelines with swears (or cusses if you prefer that) in them? I know it sounds like I am being some sort of crybaby but I don't want my siblings or cousin to hear those words. (No. I do not allow my siblings to play DRG hence I am suggesting this). Just has to be like a switch or something in the audio settings. I have tried a mod to disable the voicelines but it isn't effective.

When aquiring a cosmetic in a mission (from lost pack, cargo crate, etc), equip it for the length of the mission when aquired if possible. Since all dwarves get the same cosmetic unless they already have it, I think it would be cool to see in game and in the endscreen.

Obviously allow this to be changed in settings. Not sure how difficult this is to implement.

Glyphid dreadnaught type "necromancer"
Its appearance is a fusion of a glyhpid warden and dreadnaught but its enlarged spherical spore emiter organ is the only place to shoot it

Pretty much a dreadnaught version of a glyhpid warden and is accompanied by grunts and praetorians. The amount increases with hazard up to 20 grunts and 4 praetorians. Those bugs recive the normal effects of a glyhpid warden

When a majority of the bugs have been killed the glyhpid necromancer will stand still and open itself to double damage for 10 seconds while it resurrects its bugs

proposal: you turn to your right and kneel down to propose to the dwarf next to you (the ring is made of an Omoran Heartstone), while the other dwarf just ignores you and continues their own victory move
unavailable at this time: an APD flies up holding a poster saying “this dwarf is unavailable at this time. [REASON] Just pretend I’m a dwarf.” (REASON = he is at a promotion ceremony/he’s hurrying to get another mission done before joining you again/he’s climbing up the drop pod hole with steeve/he’s fighting 3 dreadnoughts and a dozen swarms with his bare fists/he’s arguing with management to get a Bosco army

okay i think we all(including devs) can agree that gk2 Electrifying reload oc ,while not bad, is simply inpracticle.
so heres how i would rework this oc.

EM-conductive bullets
Remember that Stubby smg from engineers arsenal?we shoved that Arc generator from it into your gk2! And not only that, we also changed your ammunition to special EM-conductive bullets. now every bullet will not just have a chance of electrocution, but also will magnitise to the closest electrifyed enemies up to 3 times,untill its kinetic force is not enough to pierce another bugger. though all that system is slightly slower and this fancy bullets are not so effective on their own.

+40% chance to electrify enemy
+electrifyed enemies take slightly more damge
+bullets will bounce between electrifyed enemies up to 3 times in 7 meters radius(works with IFGs, taser bolts etc)
-2 firerate
-2 damage
-30 total ammunition

New season idea( not right away but near the end of the games lifespan) "rival desperation" wrapping up the Rival trilogy.

• Generation 2 robots: " the rivals have sent new generation of robots to deal with us"

mission control

Rework robots ( they don't just Die to fire immediately ) maybe an overheat mechanic, +effects when they're frozen or electrocuted.

Turret Controller should be able to turn some turrets friendly when hacked.

• New robot: a mining tripod (think War of the Worlds), weaker sniper Patrol Bots, rival nanomachines (acting like the Beehive enemies in Hollow bough or sandblasted corridors)

• new biome: rival space station. With a spin on the normal missions you've got a break containers of minerals pickaxes instead of mining. And u use a rundown drop pod with laser on it to breach the space station

• plus some pirate themed Cosmetics.

That's my ideas for it so far definitely still working on it.🙂

Probably has been suggested in various forms before, but...

Some means of showing off in-game trophies, achievements, records, etc. in your bunk room.

Simple Approach - add a shelf which can display up to say 3 small awards/trophies which are set by the player based on things they have done throughout their total playtime. As the award placements and options for the awards displayed are premade/modular, they should not be technically difficult to implement and load when new players join groups and so forth.

More Elaborate Approach - a similar modular implementation but wherein players can purchase expanded bunk modules with credits and minerals which they can then customize/decorate from fixed template locations and lists of furniture, trophy, etc. models. This option can include very high cost options for purchase, providing things for very high level players to continue to pursue as a flex and basically acts as a set of purely cosmetic endgame goals.

You've bought everything, squashed millions of bugs, and mined billions of minerals! Now for a place to show some of it off to your fellow dwarves!

The HE grenade is underwhelming compared to the other Driller grenades, and I propose an idea to fix that:

Upon detonation, the HE grenade will release a 150~ degree spread of flaming shrapnel facing upwards, these shrapnel fragments can ricochet off of surfaces once.

Each fragment will slightly home in on targets, and due to the spread angle will go for high-up enemies like Glyphid Spitters and Mactera whenever possible, otherwise ricocheting off of the ceiling and hitting ground targets.

Each grenade will release 6~ pieces of shrapnel, each dealing 80 damage and enough heat to instantly ignite weak targets.

The goal of this buff is to improve the crowd-control abilities of the HE Grenade, while giving it the new niche of being a sort of "anti-air" grenade, giving the Driller an easy way to dispose of Mactera Spawn, Tri-Jaws, and Glyphid Spitters that might be out of reach of his primary weapon.

New Endgame Content aside from EDD.

I Came Up with a few Ideas for this:

True Miner/Nightmare (Haz6*) Difficulty: Stat increase aside you now have a few more limitations: Die from fall you can only heal up to 75% after revive, Die from bugs enviroment or explosions and you can heal only up to 50%. Get not revived within a timeframe and you "Die" until you can respawn on a fresh supply pod but have to wait at least 3 minutes to do so. Also Supplys and Red sugar heal over time instead of instant with an 2hp/s Heal rate and shield takes 100% longer until it starts to regenerate.

Missions with elite enemies back unnerfed but they are excluded from assingemnts like double warnings.

Special missions with higher enemy spawn frequency and mulitplicator/ammount.

Special mission exclusive enemies/super enemies.

Boss hunt/Finished/buffed Dreadnought hunt.

Multiple Main objectives at one mission (salvage and point extraction as example).

Even if DRG has its own way to tell the lore, Maybe a "story" with special missions for it/ maybe to tell what happened to hoxxes blown off chunk or why there is no glypid queen yet or who was karl/what happened to him/to even rescue him one day if he is still alive.

Just a few ideas since the game nowadays sometimes lacks challenge (like the nemesis it was fun but now its just rare and just a flying bulk detonator). its fine to make content accessible but i got more and more the feeling that in the process there is no challenge for the ones who want one outside of Mods regardless of the game since it happens in more and more. (in short just give players an option between nerfed and unnerfed content (could be chosen before start of the mission) that would already help a bit and provide fresh work for us miners and our trusted guns

Edit: All these ideas should be optional and not forced to be played by anyone. So not for assingments and maybe even not for Achievements but only for some special paintjobs/helmets.

Mini mules for each person in a multi player games that need to return to the main mule after collecting 200 minerals

pine olive Sep 20, 2022, 6:35 PM

#

Overclock suggestion.
Grenade Launcher.
"Jury-rigged Minelayer System".

Not suggesting specific stats this time, just the general idea.

Hitting R will swap the grenade launcher to Minelayer mode. While in Minelayer mode, shooting terrain will implant the grenade into the ground, acting similarly to Engineer's proxy mine grenades.
Mines explode only once.
Once implanted you can't pick undetonated mines back up.

Probably needs a healthy amount of downsides to be balanced.

Use case:
Engineer is a class that can do everything decently well, he can run and gun with his shotgun, he can hunker down with his sentries, he can get to weird spots with his platform gun, etc. This OC would buff your ability to hunker down since you can lay mines everywhere, while still encouraging ammo management since you can't just pick up mines that ended up being useless.
A thinking dwarf's OC.

New attacks on hazard 4 or 5, for example, glyphid grunts can now be powered up by other enemies (example, goo bomber shoots it and now it slows down the player for 1 second on hit, once), slasher can get a shield similar to guard etc. Also if enemies will have more damage and hp with new attacks it would be too hard so to balance out it is possible to change out damage or health to speed. These changes can bring more teamwork to teams because a slowdown grunt may stop a scout and he dies but if someone else kills that grunt the scout can get away.

Active perk: A mini mule that follows you around

This topic was mentioned few times, but I think it deserves to get more attention. Also I've got an idea that could probably fit well to the climate of the game.
My friend, @jovial quartz, has deep hearing impairment and due to that she can't hear things like batteries/helmets beeping, bulk/nemesis/BET-C threat etc. I support her with my hearing when we're playing together, but she has none of that when playing solo. Sound design is awesome and lets you recognize elements on the map, but it would be awesome if there was also a visual feature for people with hearing issues for bigger accessibility.
I've got an idea you could have an optional HUD element called seismic sensor or vibrate detector which will show vibrations of POIs such as enemies, events, etc. These would be showed as circular waves coming from the sides of the screen. The wider circles, the closer it is. Kinda like hot-cold game, but expanded.

Such as sound effects, signals will have different colors, shapes and frequency to recognize the type of sounds
It is synced with sound effects, the sygnals will go off with the same range as them to make both methods even
It can have filters to detect only threats, events, etc.
It can be hidden or minimalized (in second option it will be showed as thin bar on the side to let you see more around you, but you can still see the signals as single dots bleeping)
Optionally, Sensor users may have this device attached somewhere on their suit or displayed on your player icon. This may let other players know you may need support with detecting and locating stuff.

Another quick idea - the notes displayed on the screen like dwarves' lines or pings could also have an option to make them brighter, pulsing or something, because sometimes they are easy to miss, especially if the player can't hear the pings and lines.

A Thunderhead overclock that changes it from hitscan to projectiles with drop over distance, in exchange for tightening the base spread a lot. I think it would be fun to have to lead targets a little, account for drop, hit praetorians in the butt from the front, and do plunging fire onto bugs behind obstacles. I love the Thunderhead but the skill ceiling is not high and this would give it something a little trickier to mix it up.
Sincerely, an AG Mixture Enjoyer

Idea for new mission type
Name: Onsight analysis
Generation: Similar to egg hunts
Objective style:
Primary with steps like salvage
Secondary Item collection
No mule

Primary objective: Collect # crystal samples
Secondary objective: Collect # resource
Higher chance for Kursite analysis event to spawn

Objective description:
A heavy platform like the mine head or drilldozer is dropped with the players into the center of the caves main chamber like a point extraction mission. The platform is a mobile research facility featuring a device like the kursite analyzer. Players must locate a number of crystals throughout the cave scattered in a similar way to eggs, and bring them back to the research station.

Idea A. The machine will run an animation (possibly with a drone operating it) as it analyses the crystal and determine if its safe to bring back to the space rig. A green light or red light will indicate if the crystal should be deposited in the mineral box onboard the platform or be placed in a smasher that will dispose of it

Idea B. The machine will allow the player to interact with the crystal in some way like the hacking minigame to examine it and determine if its safe. Same storage or disposal step then occurs.

In either case if a crystal is incorrectly deposited, it will deduct from the payout and receive a voice line from mission control saying something about how dangerous the bad crystals are. Or scold you for destroying a good one.

Once all samples are processed the rigs launch button will activate and then a normal mission extraction will occur just like in point extraction.

You really care about those machines; bring Doretta home 15 times in a row

True Tycoonist
Quite the environmentalist; collect (yourself) over 10k barrels worth of Oil Shale (or whatever makes sense, as idk how oil shale is counted compared to minerals)

Heart of Darkness
Complete a level 3 cave complexity mission without using any flares (including Scout's)

Doink!
Save 25 teammates from falling to their death by bouncing off your head

Company Theft
Anything you take will be coming out of your pay; leave in the drop pod with four full slots of unique minerals

Machines Are Man-Made...
Have your Bosco slaughter over 10k bugs in a lifetime

My Bosco Beats Your Bots-Co
Would say our machines are just better; have your Bosco destroy over 100 Rival Corp robots

Runway Queen
Complete 50 missions, each with a unique cosmetic set

Resisting Temptation
Leave a Glyphid Crassus Detonator alive for the entire expedition

Sending Our Best
Complete an Industrial Sabotage mission with your entire team drunk

Light The Fuse
Get the killing blow on any Dreadnought using the Drillers flamethrower neurotoxin explosion

__
If these are received well I'll likely make some mock-up achievement icons for them

Hazard Idea- Rogue Bosco's
A shipment of Bosco's have been hacked by The Rivals. They have disabled the Bosco's company loyalty program, making them cranky and murderous towards DRG.
The Bosco's now believe DRG should pay them for thier mining work and are attempting to sabotage the company until thier demands are met.

The Bosco's run around collecting nitra, minerals and gold while intermittently shooting the players in a guerilla war style of combat.
When killed the Bosco's drop all the ore they've collected.
Several Bosco's appear in a mission and can only hold 20 of each ore in thier "inventory" at a time.
The Bosco's should be unable to mine or collect mission objective resources and brewing materials.

Point extraction could use an alternate version
Delicate Extraction
Extract 5-10 Compressed Nitra
Compressed nitra looks like aquarqs or jadiz but red.
Its lighter and can be carried faster but it explodes if you move it too fast. Throwing and falling count.
At the mine head you have to place the compressed nitra into a dampening crate for transportation before the mine head launches.

posted this as a doc link but ill repost the contents

Cave Dragon

We've discovered a non-bug creature within Hoxxes! We believe our Rivals imported them from another planet, and they are very destructive, so have to be stopped! These things are tougher than Dreadnoughts, though, so watch out, miners! Cave Dragons are huge, blind reptiles that feed on minerals, like Lootbugs, but instead of simply holding them in, they form large growths on its back. You have to destroy these growths with a pickaxe or explosives before you can shoot the fleshy bits. Their huge claws can kill an unaware dwarf with a couple of swipes, and they can also clamp an unlucky miner with their massive jaws to hold them like a Cave Leech or a Mactera Grabber. Once a growth is destroyed, however, it will release its grip. Cave Dragons can also vomit up acid strong enough to turn stone it hits into slag, and burrow to move around, but their growths will still be exposed, so hit those to bring it back to the surface.

Unlike Dreadnoughts, they are not found in cocoons. Instead, their growths, which look like regular mineral deposits, poke out above the ground. If you see multiple veins of Nitra, Red Sugar, and Gold close together when Cave Dragons are around, be wary. Mine AROUND them, and you can see if it's a Cave Dragon. If you see it, you can mine a growth early and shoot it before it wakes up. Normally, it sleeps until a growth is mined, at which point it comes out of the ground very quickly, so most dwarves never get a chance to shoot the fleshy bits. Shooting into its open mouth will do some damage, but not much. However, if a grenade goes down their gullet, they will be stunned for a few seconds. Also, keep in mind that their growths are minerals, and will give you loot.

They are only found on special Elimination missions, meaning there's no way of encountering them naturally (a relief, to be sure!).

Scrolled through all 100 levels of the Performance Pass, have done all bonus objectives, nothing I haven't claimed, still missing 4 Scrip.

I am kinda hoping that for Season 3 you will add in enough Scrip to and the bonus objectives and remove it all from Dailies, or at least program it so that the Dailies give you the Scrip needed before rewarding experience. Or maybe instead of awarding only 500 credits for Post-level 100 levels you could give people who aren't done with the cosmetic tree Scrip instead until they've completed the tree. Don't feel like that would be too hard to accomplish. This can be fixed.

I think that this game could really benefit from pre-caching system. Every time I update my gpu drivers or just clean my pc I have to go through a stuttery mess before I can enjoy my time in it. I'm sure that most of you know what I'm talking about - first shot with new weapon, first time using combo of some sorts on a bug, first time some killing a bug, first time going to another biome, etc... It wouldn't be a problem if it took 5 min - usually it stops after a few hours of gameplay (it's not constant, but it happens occasionally and it's super annoying). Forza Horizon 5 has this "optimizing" feature that runs after each software change, before the game starts, and it really helps with game's stability. I think that as DRG is a smaller game it shouldn't take more than a minute to cache every single effect in the game. As a side note my problems are not hardware related - it's clearly a caching issue that happens on every single computer I have tested.

These are just some fun ideas i've brainstormed with some friends. And I just felt like sharing them here!

-- Mission Modifiers --

Hardened Red Sugar

The way this works is rather simple.
You know how Nitra lets you call in a Resupply? Well, with this modifier, Nitra Gets you Ammo.
That's it. Nitra gives ammo.
But How do you get health then from it? Well, That's where the name comes from.
Red sugar is a mineral. You mine and collect it like Nitra or anything else. You do NOT get health from it as soon as you mine it. You need to collect red sugar, deposit it and if you have 40 Red sugar in total. You're able to call in a resupply pod. But that gives health only.
So it really is more tense in certain situations, Health would become a lot more important to think about.
And if you have 80 Nitra and 40 red sugar, the resupply is normal. it's the same as it has been.

I don't think it'll preform well in gameplay whatsoever, but it's a fun idea to think about.
(And it's a modifier, those aren't exactly meant to be 100% perfectly balanced. cough cough Haunted Cave cough cough)

Barebones

Resupply pods cost 20 Nitra, But they only hold one charge.
Calling in a resupply is less mineral management and more of a Small boost here and there.

Watch the bullets!

Friendly Fire damage does 100% more Damage, Watch where you put your crosshair.

They've been eating healthy.

Lootbugs drop Red sugar Instead of Nitra upon death.

Speaking of lootbugs..

-Lootbug additions-
Petting the Lootbugs gives them health.
That makes it so that petting them actually has a mini purpose if you don't wanna kill them.

And Make the 'loot'bugs actually collect Loot. (Metaphorically collect loot)
If a lootbug crawls over a Nitra chunk or a gold chunk - make them eat bits of that mineral.
But not like ACTUALLY taking chunks out, but just make them stand still when on a mineral, and add the particle effect of a Dwarf hitting the mineral to make it look like they're eating it.

Not so they can eat an entire chunk or make players have a REASON to kill them, but so it actually adds a sense to their name. And DRG is all about mini details that make the world feel more alive like it's an actual ecosystem and isn't just a RNG made map for players.

Oh and Also.
Give us the ability to pet the Mini M.U.L.Es.

Make elimination missions linear.

While it's nice having a guaranteed clear room to fight dreadnaughts in, fighting dreads in the spawn all the time gets stale. To me, how efficiently one can prepare a cave to fight the boss in is a much more interesting and relevant skill than how quickly one can pop the cocoon and run back to spawn. With only 3 dreadnaughts currently in the game, the varied terrain and biome dependent cave generations are the main elements keeping dread fights fresh. The spawn room, though, does little to accentuate these elements.

Even as someone that prefers clearing caves to fight dreads, I find it hard to object when teammates want to lure the boss back to spawn because it's so effective, and less of a drain on precious time and resources.

It doesn't need to be linear per se, but the generation should be restructured to encourage players to interact with the diverse environments this game has to offer. Thank you for reading this whole ass post lootflushed

class-based nemmy numma types!
I know its way too much effort for such a rare enemy but I was just daydreaming it:
Gunner - forcefields slightly larger and slower, mounted with two destroyable burst turrets, and launches a pulse of burster projectiles when it explodes

Driller: Larger detection range, can shockwave dig faster, claws replaced with drills that can’t stunlock you but can stretch and drill into you, doing large amounts of damage, incindiary phaze bombs when dying

Scout: Longer and faster arms and will retreat if it catches a dwarf until the dwarf gets freed or downed, also has 3/4 the health of a normal nemmy

Engineer: forcefield replaced with yellow/orange breach cutter, right claw replaced with vertical platform gun that it can use to block you, and launches a small amount of sniper turrets when exploded

The dwarfs personal quaters are underused imo. These could show the personal progression for the players account. For example: After saving 500 Dorettas, you could have a dorettas head resting on top of your dwarfs bed with the fix me note . After killing 10 000 grunts, there would be a grunts head mounted on the wall. After taming 1000 Steves, a Steves head. After drinking 500 Daily beers, your quaters floor would be filled with empty beer mugs. Etc, etc.

I think it'd be a cool idea to add some scary enemies that just aren't explained anywhere by the devs when released.

Necrosis is a cool idea for an oc but it has a big problem that a lot of cooler upgrades have: RNG. The proc chance seems really low despite the boils themselves actually being pretty decent now. Instead of just increasing the chance, i was thinking that the proc chance cud scale with the amount of time the gun has been held down for. Start at the rate it currently is and have it scale multiplicatively maybe. This wud buff the oc but you wud still have to work for the extra blisters by shooting till you overheat

Okay, so I had an idea, what if there was a "rival deep dive" where add in 2 new rival missions, (Or more if they want, shrug) with the rival deep dive being the hardest of the three, and is guaranteed to have a boss battle at the end of it with industrial sabatoge always being last. Just being gaurnteeed just rough rival missions pretty much type of thing and like a true "finale" boss fight at the end of it with the rivals.

driller oc idea. Blowtorch: constricts the stream of the flamethrower greatly increasing single target damage (removes aoe effect and sticky flames), and slices through enemy fire resistance, (potentially reducing range by a significant amount say 30-50%?, even more?). Perhaps the stream will be allowed to crit if the damage isnt high enough? Think very shortrange Overwatch Zarya beam, so driller can deal good damage to bosses and have a little carry potential in more situations.

New Rig customization option. A petting zoo. Players can bring a selection of Hoxxes wildlife onto the drop pod with them and they get auto-added to the petting zoo. It functions sort of like how Dottie's head is, where it remains until the next selection replaces it in the zoo. I'm thinking the most popular options would be: Steve, Lootbug, Breather.

Idea for a grenade:
A shrapnel grenade, it has a very small explosion, but it sends shrapnel flying in all directions. The shrapnel can bounce, and only once it bounces, it has a 5 second lifespan and can keep bouncing. This would make it good against a spread out swarm in a big cave or a grouped swarm in a small cave.

Please remove Dark Morkite beer. The mission itself doesn't need to be shortened, and it incentivizes players to leave the mission early and miss out on goodies further down. Also, it doesn't help with any other mission types and bums out my team when they see it. That is all.

Bruh so I sat there wondering: "Can I claim another Steeve?"
I held CTRL to bring up my marker tool so i could see my team. My two friends and Molly showed up.... But Steeve was not there..

My suggestion is that: Make Steeve have an outline just like the rest of the team.
Bonus: Give him outline color of whomever(what class they are)'s color!

#

that would be lovely but like, so many times have I found that Steeve's AI can't path-find to me cause the dirt and whatnot.. i just need to know where steeve is so i can free him and allow his pathfinding to get to us

I don't know where suggestions are skin pack wise so this might be cheesy af, I don't have a clue:

If there are every any plans for a Halloween event there's a lot of aesthetic value in the organic material that is present in some of the Deep Rock missions (ex: Egg Hunt, Elimination). Frankly if the game wasn't a cartoony miner shooter I'd imagine the flesh walls would be organic to the point of upsetting. As scary as it gets, I figure, that would be one of the more interesting elements to tap into for anything Halloween themed. Skins for weapons that are designed around looking organic with bugs parts would be insanely badass.

New armors:

They're just pants and the dwarves have full body tattoos like on the dawn of the dread armor, however the back tattoos would be different for each class.

For example gunner would have something like a skull with a bullet going through it. Engineer would have something like cogs and gears. Scout would have something like a hawk. And driller would have a demon tattoo to represent all of his warcrimes.

minimule racing in the lobby

it's like a horseracing minigame where each of the dwarves bet on a mini mule to cross the finish line first. this is all done on a tabletop by the abyss bar, with miniture mini mules (or maybe cheap cardboard cutouts of them so management can save a bit) and the dwarves can't bet more than 100 credits at a time

each dwarf picks a colored mini mule on the table, maybe with like 6 to choose from, and with every one having a randomized speed. and then a bet pops up where you pay credits, like you're using the mineral trade. once all the dwarves are ready, you push a button and see who wins the race. maybe with mission control reminding you how the bets come off of your next paycheck

flare charger belt, regenerates flares faster when all are depleted
electronic flare, that when you mark it on scanner tells when it was thrown and pops all nearby used flares on map so you know which tunnel you went, and which you didnt yet - for better navigation in longer runs

Suggestion of a medium shredder that at grenade distance stops spins up and hits the ground poping a small turret up after impact that acts like a Macterra in fire rate. Idea is to balance the fact that drillers can wipe whole squads of shredders in a second but the distance means you have to push forward to get it and not be too OP as per macterra fire and damage rate.

Good day to You.
I suggest to add some phew visual adds for next weapons:
-Proximity mine (Engineer) - || There is only yellow pinging circle. ...*Maybe it would be better to also add another circle that will always show the range of blast for them? For allies that not always pay attention for them during the height of the battle.||
-Plasma carbine DRAK-25 (Scout) - || This weapon has very good damage at high heat with overclock module but it's quite difficult to monitor the level of overheating. ...*It may be necessary to add an additional crosshair indicator. ||

New enemy, long snake like tentacle that darts between the walls/celling/floor of narrow tunnels (especially prevalent on mining expedition) and takes bites of the player. Doesn't make much sound so its hard to detect. The only early sign you might see is it poking its "eye" through a hard to notice hole before it quickly hides itself and prepares to attack.

My suggestion is the ability to pay some gold or credits to have mission control scan a more precise location of minerals like possibly crafting minerals or secondary objectives

The point of this is mainly to help if you're having trouble finding secondaries so you don't spend a ton more time in that cave, naturally the cost would be more than you'd get from the objective in credits but you'd be doing it for the XP

It can be used against enemies as a slow firing rifle capable of extreme damage and can cut through several enemiesl, or it can be used to mine by simply shooting into walls, where it makes a narrow tunnel.

Rolled Into The Shop
As an Engineer, refill other Engineers' sentry guns with 10k ammo over a lifetime

Unkar's Little Angel
As Scout, revive 3 of your teammates in a row as the only survivor during a Hazard 5 wave

idea for scout's grappling hook: an upgrade that allows you to press the reload button while holding the grapple gun to change the firing mode, and when you charge and fire it, it shoots a projectile that creates a creates a vertical rope that dangles from the ceiling or the wall. dwarves can ascend up and down it is if they were using the gunner's ziplines, and the rope shots require ammo for the scout, but not using the grapple itself

the length of the rope depends on how long the scout charges it, and how much ammo is available

Ok so hear me out. I know that DRG is balanced around 4 man coop and that its main thing. I love how this game handles this form and i woud not have it any other way.
Now, with that said, how about a "raid" in DRG? I played some caretaker mission and to be honest its hands down my top 3 favourite mission types. The feeling of putting down gigantic threat at the end of the mission, with unique mechanics is something i really enjoy. And it got me thinking. What if there was a gamemode oriented around that concept. It coud be a gamemode oriented around 8+ people to diffrieenchiete it from deep dives. Those people coud be in a worker union witch woud basically funcion as a guild. There woud be a problems for sure like balance of 8 players where game to this point was oriented around 4. Also probably some encounter designer woud be un order because i cant imagine it to be as simple as "lets throw some random bulshit and let players deal with it", but as a mmo player i woud love to see that mission type be expanded in a future

If I can make some controller related suggestions:

An input binding option that allows you to recenter the vertical position/aim of the camera, so if I used gyro aim with a controller via SteamInput or DS4Windows, I can have the right joystick set to a flick stick layout without having to worry about not being able to recenter my view.
Some sort of option to force button prompts for controller or keyboard and mouse in the scenario where I’d use gyro and a Steam Controller or if I’m using an analog keyboard/keypad like a Wooting keyboard or Razer Tartarus Pro. Currently, the game rapidly switches between controller and keyboard/mouse prompts and navigation, which makes things a bit weird if your controller isn’t still when using gyro.
Not sure how possible this is (or if there’s any licensing related stuff that needs to be accounted for), but having the option of PlayStation button prompts would be nice.

PGL OC: Deeptora Bomblet Cluster
The grenade always deals half direct damage, but aoe is doubled.
Each grenade contains a swarm of genetically altered and very aggressive Flaming Deeptora wasps that seek out and burrow into enemies, overheating them, eventually killing them. Each fallen enemy corpse will spawn a new horde of vicious wasps to attack more enemies that come near for 20 seconds. Dot stacks and multiple swarms can attack the same enemy.
Scales with heat damage upgrade and works with proximity mine.

As a special interaction(if possible), the wasps will takeover nearby deeptora hives/ bough wasps and convert them to the cause. These hives remain active and will no longer harm players or simply become inert.

Industrial sabotage :

As most people have seen so far, industral sabotage is just not worth playing for the most part, it's long, at times tedious and feels somewhat unrewarding to conplete even though the bossfight is cool af.

Personally i beleive we can tackle both the issue of "slow progression"(referring to overclocks) and the tedium of the gamemode by intertwining some of their aspects together.

Data packs should become a resource, like error cubes and such.

Upon successfully extracting a datapack, you receive one of said resource (potentially scaled up to 2 on haz 4-5? To reward those who go trough haz 5 caretaker)

Every week(or bi-weekly), a single overclock is chosen to be purchasable with 2 datapacks.

This overclock is server side and globally the same for everyone per rotation, purchasing it again would award the player with 50-100 of a random ressource (to give some reward to those with all OCs unlocked).

TL;DR industrial sabotage giving guaranteed weekly/bi weekly OCs for completion

Another demented idea (I swear I had these stockpiled I’m not weird)

Negative Cave Complexity

Literally just an entire mission compacted into the smallest room possible. It’s rare but cave complexity 1 can do this by chance but having it done intentionally would be insanely fun. Haz 5’s are terrifying under these stipulations.

hi all miners!! there are more and more sets of armor, weapons and DLC and I love that, it would be too much to ask, that in boxes A, B, C, D and E, more be added or that it be a drop-down menu and not be limited, that is say, being able to do all the aesthetic and aspect builds that you would like? it would be a change that would not affect the game and I think a lot of people would appreciate it, rock and stone miners!!

an overhaul of biome variations would be nice, as is currently they just feel like "this enemy but different colour".

Frost variants could be more chubby, as their bodies have less surface area compared to volume, leading to less heat loss, as well as functioning as a thick layer of flubber, their pedipalps could be wider and stronger to effectively dig dens for hibernation, their armour could be incredibly brittle, but slowly regenerate, as theyre hollow chunks of ice that double as weak armor and insulation. You could also... yknow... make em fluffy. I think that could be a popular move.
also most spiders have hair, give the damn glyphids hair.

Radioactive variants could have a thick, incredibly tough armor to shield from the radiation, but incredibly soft bodies caused by genetic mutations. Give them random mutations, some of them spawn with higher damage, some are faster, some are passive, some infight, nothing too major, just adding to the feel of them being irradiated.

Add a fire variant, small and almost armourless, but incredibly nimble, cant have them boil to death or have them burn their little feetsies after all, give them controllable sails that help them release excess body heat.

Give every glyphid that isnt distinctly a biome variant a little visual flair related to their respective biome to make them feel less out of place, fungus bogs glyphids could be an off green colour and have little mushrooms growing on em, make azure weald glyphids a blueish purpleish colour, have their shells have glowy spots, little visual changes like that. Maybe have the occasional glyphid spawn as the one from the wrong biome, lil guy gets lost sometimes yknow?

It might be a bit much to ask for, but it would add a lot to the overall feeling of hoxxes

Tool/Equipment overclocks :

I know this is probably something that is either in the works, being considered or being pushed back due to more pressing matters, but i'd still like to give off a few suggestions, i'll focus on one overclock for driller and scout's tools that would be cool to see.

---Scout :

Grappling hook
"Lightweight chassis"(Clean OC)
+Slightly faster recharge (1s)
Flare Gun
"Nuclear payload" (Unstable OC)
+Flares last 2x longer
-/+Any Enemy/Ally within 6 meters of them takes constant radiation damage
-4 less flares
-0.4 seconds longer reload speed

---Driller :

Drills
"Diamond coating"(Balanced OC)
+Can mine minerals
-Less max fuel(4L)
C4
"Thermal rupture"(Unstable OC)
+Significantly larger blast radius(1.5m)
+Any enemy affected takes default damage and 15% base hp damage as temperature shock damage
-1 less charge
-4 second arm time after deployment
-Cannot be disarmed

small chance that a dwarf's drop-in via the personal drop pod will be replaced with a custom animation, e.g.:

dwarf enters spinning rapidly to dig down and does a three-point landing
dwarf appears in a supply pod that glitches out and explodes
dwarf appears out of nowhere through use of a Wormhole, the mug follows through a separate wormhole and bounces off his head after a moment
dwarf burrows through riding a Trawler which falls from the ceiling and dies on impact

XP Mineral

It would be nice if there was a mineral in game which you could mine and would then be exchanged for XP at the end of the mission which would be nice considering XP grinding in this game gets a bit stale over time, or there could be specific things in each biome that a dwarf could collect which can be exchanged for XP E.g:

Salt Pits:
Salt Clusters found inside the walls of the Salt Pits similar to enor pearls which are essential to season the dwarfs meals

Magma Core:
Lava Crystals which can be plucked out of place like beer ingredients, Managment needs to heat the Space Rig without paying bills somehow

Crystalline Caverns:
Stable Shock Crystals which can be mined, used to power the Space Rig

Glacial Strata:
IceCube Bugs mined out like jadiz, gotta study Hoxxes’ life forms somehow

Etc

Just anything that will help make the XP grind less painful, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF KARL MAKE IT LESS PAINFUL

Idea (No idea if this is even planned or not): Give a purpose with ranks so you unlock new things with reaching higher ranks. At the moment you only need Bronze 1 for the deep dives but from there up to legend 3 you unlock nothing new with new ranks.

Driller
- Customizable hues for flame, ice, and sludge particles

Engineer
- Sentry skins similar to Bosco
- Customizable hues for Fat Boy and Breach Cutter particles
- Visible particles for Engineer lock-ons so other players can see where the engi is and where he's aiming

Scout
- Customizable hues for DRAK, Bolt, IFG, and cryo particles

Gunner
- Customizable shield hues```

There's probably mods for these, but it'd be nice to have some kind of cosmetic option to change some of these effects. I don't think these will affect the game's readability or obstruct the effects of the abilities used, though it might confuse some newer players.

A New Skill Tree

(I am basing my idea on what @fossil lava said above) A separate skill tree to the perk tree for each class similar to the class tree in Outriders, which can be upgrade by reaching higher promotions where it is specifically made to upgrade the classes abilities/efficiency to use tools e.g:

Driller:
~gets a warning 10 seconds before a natural anomaly occurs (sandstorms, earthquakes, stalactites falling)
~can mine faster than the other classes
~gets x2 mineral income
~has “Mineral Vision” (minerals glow for them)

Scout:
~runs faster than the other classes
~has constant Heightened Senses (but can’t break out if caught)
~flares glow brighter
~reduced fall damage

Gunner:
~at 1-10% HP, gunner deals x2 damage
~goes faster on the zip lines than other classes
~can wear a shield grenade aka portable shield (will have a long cooldown)
~has thermal vision

Engineer:
~can put ammo into the turrets from anywhere where as other classes have to give ammo at the turret
~platform fall damage reduction is infinite for him
~repairs Mini mules, black boxes, Drilldozers and Hack-C bots faster than other classes
~can deposit faster

Basically just a separate Skill Tree that enhances the classes own separate abilities which can be upgraded through promotions since promotions are basically useless anyway (except to unlock Deep Dives) and I personally don’t think the classes are different enough

Grenade Ideas

-Goo Grenade:
upon thrown, it will create an area covered in temporary goo which slows down all the step in it

Fear Grenade:
A grenade that once thrown creates an area of gas which is harmless but absolutely terrifies bugs causing them to run the opposite direction

Rust Grenade:
Once throw it creates an area that once an enemy steps in, their armour rusts and falls off

Teleporting Grenade:
If your in trouble or you just need something which is hard to get just throw this grenade, upon thrown it teleports you to where you threw it

Vacuum Grenade:
Upon thrown it creates a vacuum that of which sucks in all enemies into on spot for you to shoot at

Throwing Knifes:
Same as the Impact Axe however they do less damage but have higher quantity

Tremor Grenade:
A grenade that produces mini earthquakes that slow and damage enemies over time who walk into it

Bait Grenade:
A piece of bait that you throw down which after 2 seconds of being thrown a giant creatures eats the bait along with all the bugs near it

Flash Grenade:
Blinds bugs

Light Grenade:
Basically a mega flare that lights up the whole cave

Homing Grenades:
They follow targets and explode once within their radius

I was talking with someone on the discord and had an accessibility idea for DRG as either an in-game option or a mod (hopefully it could be an option though.)

Simple Biomes. Deep-six all the useless crap that doesn't do anything but clutter the screen and obstruct your view. There's a couple of mods that do this for the Weald and the Boughs but I figure if you add it to the options as an accessibility option (or maybe a graphics setting?) it'd go a long way to not only help people like me with godawful eyesight but also people with subpar computers since they wouldn't have to process all that clutter.

Bosco is genuinely useless.
Takes ages for them to attack something next to you, and is pretty bad at following.
No matter how much you mash X they will have to be 2 feet from something to even shoot it. (Especially Cave Leeches)
Bosco's rockets aren't even that helpful. Small AOE, long recharge, low damage, and the issue of taking ages to shoot is still there.

Balanced/unstable overclock for the sludge pump:

Toxic vapors
This sludge composition includes more volatile toxins which quickly evaporate when exposed to the air. However, due to smaller liquid fraction, puddle lifetime and corrosion duration are decreased.
rocknstone Upon hitting enemies or ground projectiles spawn neurotoxin clouds
tothebone x0.5 corrosive DoT duration
x0.5 sludge puddle duration

The purpose of this overclock is to replace puddles with clouds, which should be larger and also extent into the air to hit some careless macteras. Also they spawn even upon hitting a surface to which sludge doesn't stick such as various DRG mechanisms and your fellow dwarves. Neurotoxin duration is probably 10s, since charged shots already threaten to make grenades obsolete as an area denial tool, and cloud duration is the same as basic puddle - 12s, probably tweaked alongside with it.

By the way, then Volatile Impact Mixture description needs to be changed to something like "By producing a lot of volatile substances which easily leave the reaction zone this special mixture burns through the target in an instant at the cost of sludge puddles melting into the ground much faster."

beer that makes you ridiculously fast and pitches up + speeds up your voicelines; vice versa, beer that makes you incredibly slow and slows your voicelines. call em like the Manual Overclock and Slow Day Stout

description for Manual Overclock: "What do you get when you mix a cabinet's worth of powerful stimulants and a cup of caffeine with a quality liquor, then age it for a few years in an oaken cask? From the people who brought you the Gut Wrecker: the Manual Overclock. Side effects include seeing faster, tasting colours, death, and increased appetite."
design is relatively standard, straight walled mug, save for lines that start at the bottom and branch into an intense helix pattern terminating at the rim. colours are pretty flamboyant and intense

description for Slow Day Stout: "Slow days need slow beers. While not particularly strong, Slow Day Stout's rich chocolatey flavour and creamy aftertaste should help tide those quiet hours over. Just don't let it slow you down... too much."
design is as previous but the line pattern starts from the bottom with a dense helix and merge at the top like it's unwinding, colour of the mug is dulcet and understated

New scout primary weapon

To preface this ---
Ok yes i know i know, adding a 4th primary would be really hard and they'd have to do one for all classes to keep it fair and they aren't planning on doing it at the moment but just saying, if the drak goes bye bye to keep it at 3 primaries per class, nothing of value will be lost nice (sorry drak enjoyers don't bully me)----

Compound bow
-More powerful version of the secondary crossbow, reloading faster(by 0.4s), having more ammo(45-55ish) and generally dealing more damage(145 base).

-Obviously still a projectile weapon with a 0.3 second windup(cause it's a bow)

-Some of the ideas for it would be to have an OC or mod that turns the arrow into a pseudo shotgun (similar to shattercaps in apex legends if you get my vibe) and explosive arrows that deal less damage but have significant aoe damage.

Yes, we have a crossy already, but shooting bugs with a bow would be extremely satisfying and not being gimped by low ammo count just because it's a secondary would be amazing

Also scout needs unique primaries, as it stands he just has 3 rifles lmao

Add a timer or some other fail condition to the data deposit. Other events, such as the omen, allow you to simply run if things go wrong. With the data deposit, you risk the whole mission by doing it as you either succeed, or everyone dies. This can be especially frustrating when you know it's going to go wrong but the rest of the team insists on it. At least with the other events you can ensure that everyone's alive at the end when you inevitably fail.

#

Also, robots shouldn't be allowed to benefit from regenerative bugs because A. They're not bugs, and B. Because they're squirrely little bastards that can fly away too easily to regenerate health. It's a nightmare if you're an autocanon + brt lead spray gunner.

I think traversal tools could branch out more. Here are some ideas.
Grappling Hook:

Time to reload is based on how much of its length was used (using half the rope only drains half the battery)
Air time recharges it (so flying through the air would recharge it, allowing you to swing like Tarzan if you're good enough)
Zipline:
Ziplines can be shot at any angle. If the angle is steeper than the maximum, the zipline extends small handholds to create a ladder (climbing up and down are both very slow)
Ziplines can bounce off surfaces. Each bounce extends its range.
Platforms:
Platforms are bouncy.

Ideas for unused beers:

Bronzebeard Bitter. Craft Beer with Epic-level potency. Temporarily grants explosive kicks to the drinker, letting them fling kickable objects across the rig with an audible bang and minimal effort. Alternately, it could allow you to kick other players by pressing E on them, letting bar brawls finally be a reality.
Kaz Asrok Ale. Special beer with Light-level potency. Boosts the chance for both good and bad events to occur. So drinking it may invite more bulk detonators, nemesi, bet-cs, dreads, and and other nasty hazards and enemies to your mission, but it also increases your chance of finding treasures such as bittergems, machine events, golden lootbugs, huulis, and other goodies. May not be balanced, but it will certainly be fun, in the Dwarf Fortress sense of the word.

"Holding R while the weapon has full mag will consume your shield but the next shot will deal more damage, inflict electrified, and pierce more enemies.
Basically gun overcharge.

You can't recharge the shield until the shot is fired.

If you switch the gun shot gets discharged, returning you half of the shield consumed

New/Reworked Enemies
Basically making some new enemies/reworking ones already in the game to spice some things up. Btw not all my ideas need to be liked if any would make it into the game that's a win in my books. Lastly, anything in bold means new and normal text is what's already in the base game or describing the new stuff.

Any/All Biomes-
Cave Leech(Rework): I feel the cave leech should be able to spawn not just on the roofs but also in the walls and in the ground (all 4 different directions). Reason being is for one I like looking around to make sure the room is safe of leeches and it's quite easy to just look up in the room and find out if there is any or not so making them spawn anywhere would keep everyone on their toes.

Glyphid Menace(Rework): Make the Menace certain colors for certain biomes like Green for the Fungus Bogs and Red for Magma Core and so on. Reason being it looks cool as hell xD.

Baby Spitball Infectors(New Enemy): Just like Spitball Infectors just smaller and more common but have ½ health and damage from a normal one and could be in groups 1-4 of them. Reason being you either see a bunch of spitballers or none so to see little ones a lot and the big ones rarely would be cool.

New Dreadnought: Don't know a name for it but it would be a dreadnought that doesn’t have any melee attacks just only able to roll itself into the player and shoot webs at them from range in order to slow them down and roll into them just like how Q’ronars do. Reason being is seeing only 3 types gets boring quickly.

**Mactera Breeder(New Enemy): Basically just like the Naedocyte Breeder just for Mactera.**Reason being makes a new semi tanky enemy to kill.

Rock Crab(New Enemy): A crab that uses terrain to hide itself and then pop out and either pinch the player or if able to steal heavy objects and run away with them (like compressed gold/aquarq and such). Reason being is it's something we haven’t seen in this game before.

Glyphid Sucker(New Enemy only in O2 missions): A harmless and very sneaky enemy that's only goal is to reach the player (with 5m) and suck your Oxygen away. Reason being is it's something we haven’t seen in this game before.

Lastly a flying creature that picks up and drops rocks (from the ground) onto you when directly above you. Reason being is it's something we haven’t seen in this game before.

I feel like the little green flashes you see on your HUD for when a teammate is grabbed should be changed to...some other color
IMO it gives mixed signals, newer players might think they're under some positive effect given that the portrait flashing red means they're taking damage, not that their teammate is immobilized

(be it organic or mechanical) a worm type boss like the destroyer from terraria. i feel like it'd be super cool to be in a massive room with this huge worm weaving in and out of walls. maybe it moves really fast but telegraphs its movements w an outline of where it plans to go next so you have to get it to eat a bomb while keeping an eye on its next moves. idk, would just love to see more massive scale enemies like the caretaker. if organic could form as a dreadnaught version of the nayaka trawlers. i think an enemy of this scale would have a mission type dedicated to killing one of it like the caretaker one

Fix Magnite and Croppa!!!

(Disclaimer: all the other minerals are fine it’s just that these 2 are unbalanced)
Currently Croppa is too easy to get and Magnite is too hard to get here’s why:

Croppa:
Everytime I go into a region with Croppa as its “Abundant” resource, I can find 3-8 viens just in one medium sized cave and each on drops from 15-30 Croppa which is absolutely absurd since I can walk out of a mission with 250 Croppa which then gets double so I end up with 500 Croppa, THATS WAY TOO MUCH COMPARED TO THE OTHER RESOURCES

Magnite:
Everytime I go into a region with Magnite being its “Abundant” resource I can barely find any, I go some missions without finding any Magnite at all, literally 0-2 viens per medium sized cave each dropping you 7-13 Magnite, ITS TOO RARE COMPARED TO THE OTHER RESOURCES

How to fix it:

Keep the rarity of the minerals spawning the same but swap how much each one will give you e.g: Magnite - spawns 0-2 in medium sized cave - each vein gives you 15-30 Magnite, Croppa - Spawns 3-8 in medium sized cave - each vein gives 5-13 Croppa
Just make Croppa spawn less often and Magnite spawn more often

An item for scout: a backpack of sorts with different buffs, ( taking the place of the flair gun ). deeper pockets to carry more minerals, a way to store red sugar that can be used to give out to teammates, possibly a way to hold on to a resupply that can be administered to teammates. It would be a great utility item for the team allowing the hard to reach red sugar to get to the team and allow scout to be more supportive as a medic of sorts.

**Suggestion: ** UI and readablility improovement
Reasoning: Confusing phrasing and obfuscation of game mechanics.

I want to introduce an example of how my suggested system would look like based on selecting Incendiary compound on PLG. As a note, the number on my image might be wrong, but the main idea is what I would like you to focus on, also ignore the clumsy Photoshop.

Details to note on the image:

1) Displaying damage types
It is extremely important to know the damage type your damage deals. Considering sometimes drastic differences in damage resistances. Ex: Opressor resistance to pierce damage. I can see many players being unaware that Crossbow is unique in its damage type and as such suffers from this obscure penalty

2) Differentiation between words DAMAGE and EFFECT.
Weapon deals DAMAGE but applies EFFECTS. Ex: Flamethrower does "Fire" DAMAGE but applies "Heat" EFFECT. As such saying "Area DAMAGE" and then "EFFECT radius" is misleading. I suggest replacing with "Area damage" & "Damage radius".

3) Introduction of proper EFFECT description
Instead of a line of text "Damage converted to heat" the lines of "Effect" & "Effect radius" are introduced. At the same time the decrease in actual damage is
*I used the icon of fire damage to represent heat as we do not have an icons for effects in the manual, only damage types :|

Closing notes:
This should not give too much trouble to make and will make the great aspect of DRG that is build crafting even better. While I understand that there are some very complex interaction that cannot be translated into numbers, like the OC for Stubby that lets it interact with turrets... However, I still think that plenty of current upgrade descriptions can be streamlined this way.

Pleasure to be able to contribute to this awesome game. Rock and Stone 🙂

More Rival Enemies

“Rivalry \\”

~Shielder:
a small orb that floats above other rivalry machines giving them an impenetrable shield that can only be broken by destroying the Shielder

~Fixer:
When a rivalry machine is at low HP the machine will run away towards the Fixer (if there is one nearby) and then the Fixer will repair the machine until the machine is at full HP or the Fixer is destroyed

~Bomber:
A machine that throws itself at you and tries to blow you up

~Squid:
A machine that looks like a nemesis but it has electric whips as arms which it will try to slap you with

~Charger:
A larger Shredder that flings and stubs you if it charges at you

~Trapper:
A machine that shorts an electric net that traps a dwarf and slowly kills him until Bosco or a fellow dwarf frees him from the net

~Twins:
2 patroller looking machines that split apart and the space in between them becomes an laser wall

a mix of a warden and bulk detonator. it has 3 large spherical spore emitter organs next to each other where a warden would normally have one. it doesn't provide extra protection to glyhpids but will keep buffing them until all 3 organs are destroyed and still make the NULL-kinator take a chunk of damage. when killed will fully heal any nearby Glyhids but only 10% to a dreadnaught

Possibly as a Blue Perk, I think it may help to have a Mini-M.U.L.E. that can be summoned to a Miner’s side and commanded to bring a smaller-amount of collected materials back to the Main M.U.L.E. (Molly!)

I’ve noticed with my friends and especially when we’re in a large map, sometimes we get into close-shaves spreading out and handling the Swarm while just waiting for poor Molly to come and take our belongings. The predominant issue is we’re often sprawled out long distances and keep requesting for Molly- so she gets stuck in a tug-of-war.

So maybe to counter that issue subtly, an option to have a Mini M.U.L.E. that can carry maybe a forth or so of your current materials to Molly might be helpful?

Suggestion: Staged reloads. If a reload animation has multiple logical parts, e.g. ejecting the mag, putting in a new one, and smacking it, then if you've ejected a mag and then swapped away to the traversal tool, then when you swap back, you shouldn't have to eject the mag again, but immediately start putting in a new one. This would replace the current behavior of the last second or so of an animation being unnecessary; if you switch away before smacking it, you still need to smack it when you pull the gun back out. Prior art: Apex Legends.

Idea for Season 4's theme.
Pieces of a huge human science vessel has crashed on Hoxxes. What emerges from it aren't human survivors, not anymore. It appears that they have been studying some kind of space/warp anomaly and whatever that crashed into Hoxxes is threatening to warp the reality there. Through dwarf ingenuity and natural resistance to warp magic, management has provided the necessary tools to stabilize the reality bending phenomenon wherever parts of the science vessel has landed.

Merge perk points with brewing ingredients.

Perk points are designed like Koroks from BOTW, where there's an overabundance so that it doesn't become a chore to unlock everything. However, they're currently collecting dust, I don't think I've checked the KPI panel at all since I've unlocked all perks.

The Bar serves 3 new drinks, each one is progressively more potent (more double vision and random inputs like the drunk effect is currently) and last until the end of your next mission.

Engineer Primary Weapon: Expedite "Terra Warp" Gauntlets

"Gauntlets capable of tearing stone and rock to your Dwarfen Will, flinging boulders and enclosing rock around your enemies."

Hold Right Click on a enemy to encase them in rock dealing damage to armor and flesh. Release right click to release. (30 dps, 3 sec charge)

All attacks require charge-ups. 20% spd decrease while charging. Spiked Earth damages allies. Encasement reduces physical damage taken by 30% Limited Range, basic attack arcs.

Promotion vanity milestones

Binary provided for Windows and Linux (Linux is the most prevalent server operating software)

Players can choose any dedicated server they aren't banned from that is available to them (that has free instance slots) with an indication on how close it is to them.

Dedicated servers which contain mods cannot host vanilla (unmodded) matches.

If you host a dedicated server (are added as an admin), this server is, when you wish to use a dedicated server for hosting, placed at the top of the list.

If the party leader leaves the game, the earliest player that joined after the former party leader becomes party leader. This bypasses the whitelisting setting as ending the match would be unfair to other players and gives the chance for the leaving/disconnecting player to rejoin the match.

Settings include:

Max. number of instances

Steam only, MS Store only, mixed operation (no Crossplay)

Administrators (Steam IDs or XBL IDs)

Whitelisting (Server only being available for specific Steam IDs and XBL IDs as party leaders)

Administrator abilities:

Admins can override kick commands (veto them) of current party leaders (golden crown).

Admins are kick immune under any circumstances.

Admins cannot be muted.

Admins can bypass kick disabling, because they usually pay for the dedicated server.

Servers and matches which are host on a server which has an unusual amount of near-end kicks are marked as untrusted.

Admins appear with a diamond crown instead of a golden one.

Admins can temporarily or permanently ban Steam IDs and XBL IDs from their server(s).
