Slight buff to Bullet hell?
As of now, Bullet hell is regarded as more of a meme overclock rather than an actual viable option, which I think it should have a viable place (in my opinion).
Current Bullet Hell:
Bullets Have a 75% chance to ricochet off terrain or targets
-3 damage
6x spread
New Bullet Hell:
Bullets have 100% to ricochet off terrain or targets
-2 damage
5x spread
I think the whole "high chance" for the overclock's only upside to proc is a bit harsh, considering it relies on RnG, and is the overclock's Only upside, not to mention the -3 damage hurts a lot, especially compared to something like lead storm (the overclock), and the 6x spread is a bit too big in my eyes, so aliviating some of the downsides could greatly help this overclock become a better choice from The minigun's arsenal of overclocks.

Idea for a new enemy
Glyphid boar
The glyphid boar would be a rare enemy that creates narrow tunnels that a dwarf could hardly fitnin, but glyphids can comfortably move in.
These tunnels would be lined with silk that tangles up pickaxes , making it hard to mine however it would be highly flammable.
The boar itself would have three attacks: Tusk goar, pheromone ball and summon allies. It would also have medium armour and decent health.
This tunnel sneak would be quite a menace, but as long as you have a driller, you'll be fine

Essentially, just a channel for everyone to share their stories of crazy missions they've been in. Everyone has most likely gotten in some funny situation or a mission where they barely got out alive, and I think those are pretty fun to share.

Idk how hard this would be to add, but it would be cool if the cabins in the space rig changed a little bit, like the driller cabin gets a little more cavelike, the engineer cabin gets a little more random circuitry and wires, the scout cabin gets more energy drink cans, and the gunner cabin gets more papers. This could be added with updates or maybe events, but I though it would be cool and it could add some more personality to the characters.

2 things. I would like to see engi get a speed building buff. Most objects in the game currently have a set building speed and having 4 people wack on a black box has no effect. It would be nice if engi got a small bonus to building objects or a bonus speed when helping build objectives. Second a small number next to legendary miners totaling prestiges. This would be nice for veterans who have lost track of how many times they have prestiged and have no way to show it. It is mildly reflected in player level however when a lvl 2k has 4 legendary 3 characters it would be nice to see their prestige on that specific character. I would like to see this implemented not only in the memorial hall but next to the prestige. Is either of these requests feasible, applicable or warranted?

secondary movement options for each dwarf (I don't expect them to get looked at I just thought they were fun ideas)
Scout
Placeable jump pad that anybody can use
- Gives scout a more team based option but they lose out on significantly better horizontal movement
- 10s Cooldown before it can be used again
- Only 3 or so can be deployed at once (destroys the first one made)
Gunner
Mini-grind rails that the gunner can place as he rides them.
- They're slightly faster than run speed (but slower if it's not exactly where you're trying to get)
- Very convenient in combat depending on how they're placed, but they must stay grounded and you can't switch directions without getting off
- Maybe destroyable by enemies?
Driller
Throws a mini drill that collects dirt/stone before returning to the driller. Can be thrown again to create an arcing pathway made of the material that the drill collected.
- Good for traversing more open areas and giving engi's/gunners good sightlines
- Enemies can crawl on them too, so they're not safe
Engineer
Throws a low gravity field that sticks to surfaces.
- About the size of an enlarged gunner shield? idrk
- Great for scaling walls or jumping over enemies, but you don't have the versatility of platforms
- Won't kill fall damage on its own, but if two are stuck to walls and you fall through both of them, it'll reduce it a lot.
All of these are basically losing versatility for a more specific purpose (which is what a sidegrade is meant to be)

QOL Design Suggestion: Change the appearance of the Hurricane's mines when using Minelayer System to make them more visible, possibly change the color from red to green or change their appearance to look more like proximity mines. Maybe they could have a visible pulsing effect similar to the Engineer's proximity mines, smaller in radius however.
I suggest this because in my experience using the Overclock often (not when alone) goes like this-
The Minelayer System Experience:
1: Shoot mines at a patch of ground near advancing bugs.
2: Bugs get closer to the mines but right as they are nearing them your fellow dwarf swoops in and kills them.
3: Mines disappear after being out for too long.
4: Repeat.
This doesn't always happen but it sucks setting up a row of mines only for your resident Driller to burn all of the bugs to cinders before they reach em.
I mean c'mon mines created by cryo minelets and electro minelets are very easy to see

Gunner primary, Mega Shotgun
A large automatic shotgun with a big magazine and large spread, it trades the versatility of the gunners other primaries for a much faster playstyle by giving full mobility as well as giving a speed boost on reload which encourages hit-and-run tactics. Great for dwarves who like speedrunning, but also a great option for solo play since it leaves you slightly less vulnerable by reducing gunner tunnel-vision
Does not cause gunner to slow his movement while firing
Very high close range damage
Reloading with an empty magazine gives a short speed boost
Pierces enemies
Fast reload
With its high spread, its ineffective at range
In comparison to other gunner primaries, it has a small magazine capacity.

High Gravity Granede:
- It would kill all small enemies in it radius
- Would slow enemies and allice down
- Does Small amount if damage to every one that passes through
(Maybe a little more damage depends on the balance) - Strips enemies of armor !!
- Makes flying enemies getting pressed on the ground or lose highed (can't fly higher)
The Destruction of the Armor would be the main point.
The Grenades effect would probably best if it zylinder shapped and the effect stops at some point idk 10 meters
I think thats a cool idea and would be somethnig new dont know which class should get it but gunner or engineer seams like it would work
Thanks to @swift oasis to bring me to this idea. The concept was fully his idea i just added the armor stip
swift oasis
^ my idea is a little different
-
Creates a field that lifts light enemies into the air
-
Flying enemies are heavily slowed
-
When the grenades duration ends, it switches polarity and slams anything caught inside it into the ground which stuns them
-
Heavy enemies (oppressors, dreadnoughts, etc) require two grenades to be lifted into the air.
Would be a great support grenade to open up weak points for yourself and allies (especially hiveguards)

Gunner primary, Mega Shotgun
A large automatic shotgun with a big magazine and ...
inspired by this idea:
new gunner primary: HAILFIRE MAGNETIC SHOT-CANNON
this weapon would essentially be a massive, spike/flechette launching shotgun that would charge up and fire 9 huge spikes (think double the length of the missles in the hurricane) in a shotgun like blast in front of the gunner with very minimal spread, lightly effected by gravity, and natively do both blowthrough two targets and piercing damage.
by tapping r while loaded you can change the shape of the shot from a small concentrated area to a wide angled dispersal.
as for the model imagine the hurricane launcher but slightly smaller with some major elements changed. reloading would consist of gunner sliding a new magazine of spikes/flechettes into place that pushes out the spent one
do massive piercing damage up close with double blowthrough natively on the weapon
mode changing capabities for either swarms or large targets
lightweight design means no slowdown while charging/ firing
cannot penetrate heavy armor (praetorians and above)
must be reloaded after every shot (admittedly faster reload than his other primaries)
shot affected by gravity making longer range shots harder to aim

deep dive/elite deep dive exclusive mutators, anomalies, events, etc.
deep dives are fun, i admit. i dont think many people disagree with that, but i do find myself feeling like they arent as special as i feel they aught to be.
one big theme of dwarven lore across all media is digging too deep is what usually brings about their downfall. the same idea could be applied here, with weirder things showing up the deeper you go, stuff you usually dont see near the surface.
prime example, my bulk detonator nest mutator idea i posted a few days ago. you wouldnt see those often near the surface because they would be disturbed more often, usually resulting in the bulksa ll going kaboom, but deeper down they would be more secluded and safer (until the dwarves stumble upon them).
you could even introduce deep dive bosses that show up occassionally that live in the deepest layers of the crust, like dune-style greatworms and the like.

HRF-8 High-Energy Flechette Launcher - a new primary for engineer, maybe unlockable after promoting him for the first time.
It would be a fully automatic gun with a drum containing 8 small arrows dealing the same type of damage as the boltshark. Its recoil would be really low, and the firerate would be pretty slow. There could be an upgrade/overclock that would make the projectiles deal a bit less direct damage, but explode shortly after impacting an enemy/wall. I feel like engineer needs a long range primary weapon that would be good at shooting at weakpoints

If the killing blow on a goo bomber destroys it's last remaining sac, it shouldn't do its death barrage.

Full chamber seal for the BRT is in despirate need of a buff.
I've probably spent over an hour laughing at how pathetic this thing is.
For those who don't know..
- 1 damage
- 0.2 faster reload speed
The BRT does 21 base damage.
The BRT's tier one damage mod adds +3 damage.
The other clean for the BRT adds 36 ammo and 1 rate of fire.
If it was just +6 ammo you would still have more total damage and dps than full chamber seal.
Maybe change it to +3 damage so it works as an extra damage mod? Won't really hit any new break points but it's better than the absolute joke we have rn.

-A-Team has a barrel jump down the path, then wiggles and explodes, revealing the dwarf inside.
-Party time has the dwarf moonwalk to their spot, before finishing with a spin. (imagine 4 dwarves pulling that in perfect sync at the end of a Haz 5 mission)
-Roller Coaster has the dwarf scratch across the floor with a broken off version of those little pads they ride on pipelines, using it like a skateboard, before kicking it up and catching it as a regular Stony Rock.
-If only I got paid for this has the dwarf line up and kick a barrel off screen, followed by celebratory sports horns like they scored a goal and dropping to their knees in a football celebration.

The Shield when deployed, will both protect the gunner in a 180 degree frontal radius and attract glyphids to the front of the gunner. The shield can take 50 hits from a standard glyphid, 25 from a slasher, 10 from a praetorian, and 5 from a dreadnought. (can be improved)
The shield cannot be deployed when fully damaged.
Hops Canister (Right Click)
Ammo: (10)
The shield blasts a wave of foamy brew at high velocity, inflicting "Drunken Rage" and "Drunken Stupor" on any glyphids in front of you in a 3m cone for 20 seconds, and Drunken Stupor for 10 seconds and Inflicting Damage in a 5m cone in front of you. (Glyphids hit will have targeting randomized.)
Drunken Rage- Glyphids affected take more damage and deal more damage.
Drunken Stupor- Glyphids will attack everything in sight, including environmental hazards and other glyphids, and move 10% slower.
Power attack is the same, just using the shield.
Shield will be undeployed when carrying a object or dwarf.

I wanted to ask about the cosmetic “Interstellar Goon”, a helmet that can be earned in the season progression, I unlocked the helmet and noticed there is not a under helmet balaclava mask(Similar to the “Future Shock” helm) to cover the neck & when wearing the helmet on classes that do not bulky armor sets it’s a bit less fit on them. I realize this could be by design & part of the vision for the cosmetic, but I would like to have it considered, adding another layer to the cosmetic.

Overclock idea: Artillery System
Class: Gunner
Weapon: Hurricane
"Ever tired of your tiny rockets doing next to nothing? Well good news! The eggheads in R&D have found a way to pack Bigger, better missiles in that rack of yours, complete with their own unique tracking system! Due to their size, however, they take up more space, and take longer to launch."
Artillery Rack - Larger rockets in the battery Use a unique targeting system similar to that of the LOK-1 smart rifle, locking onto an enemy and homing onto them. Rockets will lock and be fired immediately, activating their jets a few moments after being shot out of the rack.
Monstrous damage increase

This might sound extremely weird, and I'm sure as heck that most dwarves don't need it, for the sake of having flares and scouts have their flare gun... but a few greenbeard friends of mine did raise an interesting idea.
Put lights onto resupply pods, turn them into floodlights.
Of course, they also bring up this rather interesting titbit as well - they're smart enough to notice that bugs are attracted to noise... so here's the idea - make it so that when you call a supply pod (or any other pod, really), there is a chance that it either attracts a mini-swarm, or will cause the next swarm attack to arrive faster, now that you've basically told the bugs where exactly you are.

Quick chat:
By pressing a button, you get access to a quick chat menu. In this menu you would find many common things to tell other dwarves like "Ready!", "Lights please!", "Can I get a platform here?", "I hear bugs!", "I need some help with this.", "Watch out for cave leeches!", it would be good because it saves you from stopping to type, would be really good for console players, and since the messages are preset, they could also be translated to other languages, making it easier to play with people who don't speak English.

I have a new weapons concept for a gunner secondary. The flechette gun.
This would essentially be a cross between a pistol and a shotgun, being more powerful than the bulldog and would have better weak point damage but having worse range. This could probably also work as an overclock for the bulldog but I think its a little too different.

scarlet robin
Idea: S.O.S. signal
Sometimes dwarves of DRG find themselves in dire need for reinforcement. For desperate situations like these players may need a way to send their cry for help.
Problem is that sometimes it is considered bad sport to join a mission at its very end. So, when people see a lone dwarf in the open mission that already has been going for a long time, they might think: "this guy got this, I don't want to step on his toes". But what if this poor guy is actually begging for someone to come: without ammo, surrounded, trying to survive and praying to Karl's spirit.
In this situation you may need such feature as SOS signal. When activated, it marks your mission in server list with "SOS" icon, indicating your emergency status.
Adding this feature could help with a few diffirent things;
- Make sure that people in open sessions more likely will get needed help even when players' mentality normally would cause doubts if it's a good idea to join that late.
- Elevate "Leave No Dwarf Behind!" rule to new level.
- Possibly create whole new style of play based on helping others. Imagine people who would choose rescuing dwarves as their duty - they would search for SOS signals and join these servers. It could also lead to players developing new loadouts for such resque missions - for example, high-damage loadouts for quick "get in, kill all, get out".
This feature can have some restrictions, for example: you can activate SOS signal only once per mission, and the emergency status for your server will be visible only for a few minutes.
I mainly see two ways how you could activate SOS signal in game: - Put the checkmark in ESC menu, right next to where you can set your server to be open or available only to friends.
- Deploy a beacon in the same way as a resupply pod or a turret. Beacon could look like a little pole with pulsing light and/or antenna or flag.
Hope that fellow dwarves would like that idea. Rock and stone! Leave no dwarf behind!

In Regards to my previous suggestion about bullet hell:
The buff was stupid, but id like to propose another interaction in its place, with blowthrough:
after shooting a target, and the bullet hits terrain after piercing the target, roll for ricochet. prioritize targets other than the original target, if there are none, ricochet back to the original target.
maybe this in conjunction with -4 instead of -3 damage. i can see how it could be a bit too strong in the single target dps department.
thought of this because bullet hell already has an interaction with blowthrough, rolling twice for a ricochet if the roll failed on the first target.
i'd like to see bullet hell be somewhat viable, its very fun (same can be said for other overclocks, but i don't have many ideas as of now).

It would be epic seeing some kind of mobility centric overclocks for driller and gunner in the same vein as special powder and RJ250 compound.

Overclock Name: Automatic Aiming
Weapon: LOK-1 Smart Rifle
Description: R&D has figured out a way for the gun to have more fire power and have automatic targeting when a bug is close, but to get the desired result, the camera and the lock on ability had to be disabled due to the gun itself not having enough power. Do not worry, as the amount of targets the LOK-1 Smart Rifle can lock on will increase the damage of the weapon further and allow the bullets to steer itself to nearby targets more effectively.
Small damage increase ( +2 damage)
Auto targeting towards nearby enemies
Damage and targeting range increase per max target ( +1 damage and (0.25 to 1)m targeting range per max target )
Lock on ability disabled
Note on functionality:
With this equipped, the bullets would fly towards an enemy if the enemy is within range of the bullet.
This also means that holding down the button no longer activates the lock on crosshair/hud. There could be rapid fire or only semi-automatic fire. (Depends on how its developed)

Gunner: "Stim-Pack"
"In a continuous effort to improve dwarven survivability, R&D has provided the gunner with a deployable Stim Pack. When placed down, it creates a temporary field that notably hardens dwarven skin, improves jump height, and hastens reload capability or cools your heated weapons. It even occasionally repels bugs!"
~ Thrown grenade sticks to terrain. After 1.5 seconds, deploys a short-range field (gunner's smallest shield level) that lasts for 6 seconds.
~ The field only has a 1/4 chance of fearing a bug inside the area each second.
~ The field gives dwarves that pass through it 33% non-elemental damage resistance(this would include fall damage), 1.5x jump height, and halves reload speed or doubles heat shedding. These effects last for an additional 3 seconds after leaving the field.
"Let's open a cooler!" "Stims here!" " Stim pack!" "Stim field! And I didn't fart in this one!"

"Given the proven effectiveness of the sludge pump. A far more... sanitary version is being provided to the scout. While perhaps not as effective at slowing enemy movements as the IFG, this version of the concoction we've discovered is exceedingly effective at weakening the armor of any bugs trudging through it."
~ Thrown grenade explodes after 2 seconds, leaving a spread of flammable white lighter green goo in an immediate area across terrain (Lobbing it high allowing a wider spread with potential gaps, not unlike a charged shot of sludge pump colliding in mid-air).
~ Slows at half the rate of IFG, but erodes away armor rapidly without dealing damage to the bugs.
~ Lasts 12 seconds.

"Using rejected turret sensors and faulty-returning bolts, The engineer has managed to build an answer to mactera and Grunts swarming on the ceiling."

Essentially unlimited range up to the ceiling. Limited firing arc (45-30 degrees?) Fires up to 9 bolts(3 per second) with high accuracy over 10 seconds before falling apart. Killing most grunts and unarmored mactera in a single shot but ignoring swarmers. A great one to drop on allies when dealing with leeches and grabbers without knowing where they are, or if your ally is next to a wall the enemy are likely to descend from.

New Mission Types Based off Seasonal Content
The problem:
Currently DRG follows a seasonal model of content, with a bunch of new events related to the seasonal theme being introduced to obtain a sort of "seasonal macguffin." For seasons 1 and 2, it was data cells, and for seasons 3 and 4 it's plaguehearts.
With Season 3, we saw what happens when the game moves onto another seasonal theme (robots to rockpox). The rival events - prospectors, data deposits, and data routers - became rare events, where the data cell provides 500 extra credits and 1000 extra XP. Quite underwhelming - it feels similarly inconsequential to tyrant shards.
The solution:
I think data cells and eventually plaguehearts would work excellently as new objects to obtain for new mission types, similarly to eggs and aquarqs. I've come up with two new mission types that I think would be fun to have as ways to keep this seasonal content more relevant long-term. New objective types would also add a bit more variety to Deep Dives which is always a fun thing!
Mission Type 1: Data Espionage
"Our scanners have detected a rival prospecting operation in this cavern. We're sending you in to take it out and obtain their data cells. Good luck, team."
In Data Espionage missions, your task is to obtain a certain quota of data cells (2-3). You can get these from the same rival events you usually can, which are placed throughout the cave system. Unlike Industrial Sabotage, the cave is arranged in a linear fashion, meaning you'll likely sequentially encounter these events. The cave is infested with robots, similarly to Industrial Sabotage missions or missions with the Rival Presence warning. Perhaps you could also disable some of these turrets in a similar way to how you do so in Rival Presence missions.
Second mission type will be posted in 5 minutes because I don't have Nitro so I've reached the character limit lol
Mission Type 2: Plague Cleanup
"Miners, we've detected a cavern infested with Lithophage. Management wants it cleaned out so future crews can mine the minerals inside. Get your cleaning equipment ready, and remember to decontaminate when you get back to the Space Rig."
In Plague Cleanup missions, you have two primary objectives - cleanse the cave of Contagion Spikes (1-3), and collect plaguehearts (somewhere in the ballpark of 6-10?). Similarly to Data Espionage, the events where you get plaguehearts (big meteors, meteor swarms, and corruptors) spawn throughout the cave in a linear fashion, though all the meteors are pre-crashed rather than being something that happens in the middle of the mission (this cave is late into Lithophage infection). The Contagion Spikes spawn similarly to how they do in a Mining Expedition with Lithophage Outbreak. The mission is effectively under Lithophage Outbreak the whole time, and you'll mainly be encountering rockpox enemies, so to compensate for their difficulty there's a higher spawn rate of Nitra.
Mission Type 3: Korlok Infestation
This is a bit less fleshed out, but I'd love to see a mission type focused around Korlok weeds too. They're currently one of if not the hardest boss in the game, and the reward really doesn't feel worth it. I think having to clear out a cave infected with Korlok type vines would be cool, but it'd likely need some new Korlok stuff besides just the weeds to make it interesting. I'll leave coming up with that up to Ghost Ship, lol.
Conclusion
Generally I feel like preserving seasonal content as rare events in caves that give XP and gold makes them feel underwhelming and inconsequential in the overall narrative of the game. I do appreciate the extra mission variety, but I feel like having mission types dedicated to these events would give them a more permanent home that's easy to access, and also make overall gameplay more varied, boosting the total mission type count from 8 to 10 or 11.

New weapon idea:
24-P High-Voltage Zapper
Class: Driller
Weapon slot: Primary
Reload type: Overheat
Overheat animation: The tip will glow as the gun heats up. In the event of an overheat, The dwarf will expose the core allowing smoke to escape as displayed in the diagram.
Summary: Kinda like a mix between a bug zapper and a Tesla coil. Does shock damage and applies shock effect. Short-range, homing, AoE based, as seen in the diagram. It seems fairly similar to the engineer's shard diffractor, but its different, the particles are blue.

New Effect Beer: "Flare" de Lis Pilsner
Effect: Disposable Flares 
and the Flare Gun 
will now produce flares that burn twice as bright.💡
All Flares last an additional +35 seconds before burning out.
Cost: 2 
MC Notes: The Deep Rock Galactic Miner’s Handbook, chapter four, section twenty, line sixty-eight states: “Without a light, you can barely fight.” All DRG employees know that having a source of light is pivotal to their survival and safety in the depths of Hoxxes. Management believes in this principle so much, that not only are all DRG employees equipped with cheap, easy to produce disposable flares, those under the Scout designation were required to carry a Flare Gun that plants much more powerful, longer lasting flares in the biodiverse caves of Hoxxes. Unfortunately, a recent Scout Union strike has popped up, causing a VERY noticeable decrease in the supply of Scouts operating in missions. In an effort to prematurely prevent a major strike based on a lack of safety, Deep Rock Galactic tasked R&D with finding a solution. R&D seemed quite stumped for quite a while, until one scientist accidentally dropped some bioluminescence collected from the Azure Weald into his morning beer. With this Frankenstein of a beverage, your flares channel the bioluminescence coursing through your veins to burn brighter and last longer! Management even offered the striking Scouts a free taste, but whether it was a show of good faith or to see if the drink killed unruly strikers, nobody knows. Oh well, “two glyphids with one stone” as they say.

New weapon idea:
The HPRG (High Power Rail Gun) for the Gunner as the Primary
Really is just an oversized armskore. Its a single shot primary for gunner, acts very similar to M1000 and armskore, having the charge up mechanic for more damage but having a downside for it, for this case, decreased fire rate and a cooldown for the shot (you can shoot normal shots but there is a cooldown for the overcharged one), also using 4 ammo for the shot.
Stats:
Damage: Direct - 100 AoE - 75
AoE radius: 2.5
Max ammo: 40 (with mag a total of 60)
Magazine: 20
Rate of Fire: 0.6
Reload time: 3.5
Big mods (tier 1 and tier 5)
Tier 1: HEAG (High Explosive Anti-Glyphid) rounds, HESH rounds, Tungsten Penetrator rounds
HEAG rounds will make a HEAT style explosion, sending a line of extremely hot molten copper after hitting the target, +100 direct damage, +4 enemy penetration, +400% armor breaking, -66% AoE damage, -2 AoE radius. Breaks a line of terrain similar to armskore but a bit less and makes it magma.
HESH rounds will make a better explosion and scatter rock fragments when it hits a somewhat thin wall to the other side. +75 AoE damage, +1.5 AoE radius, +200% armor breaking, -66% direct damage, removes charged shot.
TP rounds are basically metal spikes. 100% of AoE damage is transformed to direct damage at a 1:0.75 ratio (100 AoE = 75 direct), If it hits a wall the round can ricochet and deals bonus damage if it does, when the round hits an enemy, the other side will have shrapnel flying at nearby enemies, +2 enemy penetration, +250% armor breaking, charged shot deals extra damage, and no explosion (obviously).
Tier 5: Overcharge boost, Double charge, Zapping burst
Overcharge boost grants you some bonus movement speed and reload speed after shooting an overcharged shot.
Double charge, also makes your armskore charged for 3 seconds after a overcharged shot, grants +50% weakpoint damage bonus.
Zapping burst increases your fire rate by +100% for 2 seconds after a overcharged shot.

I had ideas of melee weapons for each class. They would either be secondary weapons or mobility weapons (replacing grapplehook, platform gun, zipline and drills respectively).
They are quite long, so I'll be posting them one by one.
Scout: AIR-Zakshi
Weapon type: Katana
Description: This modified katana allows the Scout to bend air around them at will, allowing them to move through the air like the wind. Handling this blade may be tough but with practice you will master the air.
Default abilities:
Quick Slash
The blade swings overhead diagonally, damaging all creatures in the area in the front.
Air Dash
Allows the user to dash in the air and on the ground by pressing Sprint in all directions.
Momentum is maintained in the air. Momentum is lost when Air Dash is activated.
Holding Forward, the Scout dashes in the direction their facing. Holding other movement keys will allow the Scout to dash in that direction (left, right and backwards, or a combination of those directions)
Engineer: "Shocky" Sledge Hammer
Weapon type: Hammer
Description: This hammer can be used to electrify practically everything. Some things will have different results so do try to test it on everything. R&D did not go this far. Despite being a wrench, it is proved useful in self defence, suprisingly.
Default abilities:
Electric Smack
Swings vertically from high to low, creating an electric shockwave in the area it hits, deals electric damage over a preiod of time while inflicting the Electrocution debuff.
If a sentry is hit by the AOE, the sentry will shoots electric bolts that deal slightly higher damage and inflict the Electrocution debuff until the shockwave dissipates.
Augmented Platforms
The electric shockwave also serves as magnetized terrain. All players can climb them by holding Jump and they fall at a slower speed within the shockwave. If placed on the ceiling, players can stay near the ceiling as long as the shockwave is present.
Gunner: "Landslide" Dual-Axe
Weapon type: Double-sided Axe
Description: This old axe used for fun is now repurposed to be effective in combat. Its massive size makes it excel at moving a lot of bugs in a direction. The built-in audio magnification device lets you shout louder than almost anything. Try not to pop anyone's eardrums.
Default abilities:
Swing combo
The axe swings horizontally twice, from one side to the other, dealing massive damage to whatever comes in contact.
Battle charge
The gunner screams out a battle cry, before charging forward.
Players within range of the battle cry gain an increase in movement speed, firing speed and reload speed.
During the charge, all small creatures that come in contact will be pushed away in the direction of the charge, larger creatures get stunned. At the end of the charge, the axe is swung vertically upwards, dealing damage to anything in the front. Large creatures will be able to stop the charge prematurely.
Driller: Diamond-Tipped Trench Shovel
Weapon type: Shovel
Description: An old trench shovel with immense durability primarily to dig large holes in any surface. The diamond tip allows the shovel to dig through hard rocks like snow and stab through heavy armour like nothing.
Default abilities:
Shovel swing
The shovel swings at an arc from high to the opposite side, damaging anything that steps too close and digs out a decent sized hole in the terrain.
Collapse
The shovel stabs into the ground, then digs up a massive hole in the area in front of the Driller. Anything caught by the digging takes damage from the rocks and stones that were dug up.
Sorry for clogging up the channel, maybe I added too much details.
Also, didn't notice the pinned message of using Steam forums or Reddit for longer suggestions. I will take note on that from now on.

Example: Player A fails to enter ship during mission starts
Mission loads as normal
The player that fails to enter the ship arrives in a seperate drill pod (like when you join someone else's multiplayer mission)
The director uses throwaway line about how "You have to be responsible and get in the pod in time" and how "its going out of their pay" (not actually though)

Had an Idea for a new overclock:
Overclock Name: Ballistic Refraction Chamber
Weapon: ArmsKore Coilgun
Overclock Description: By lowering the velocity of ArmsKore's tungsten rounds R&D was able to imbue each projectile with the ability to bounce off surfaces. Upon charging, a custom made predictive laser activates, showing the future trajectory and points of impact for the next three bounces. With each ricochet, the projectile gains energy, resulting in escalating damage potential. Upon the 4th Impact with terrain, the round gains too much energy and will pierce any terrain with only 3 meters of terrain penetration.
Ricochet Capability
Bonus Damage Per Ricochet
Custom Laser Module
0.6x Charge Speed
Drastically Reduced Terrain Penetration

So a while back I suggested making certain modifiers mix with each other and the environment. Here are some more that I thought of.
If a bulk detonator dies on golden bugs, its has a golden death explosion similar to the crassus detonator
Death explosions are amplified by volatile guts, making it a nasty pair with exploder infestation.
If any of my fellow miners have ideas for how mutators could react with each other and the environment I would love to hear them. Rock and stone

Autocannon Accuracy buff
It feels as if the inability to hit what you are aiming at drives alot of people away from this weapon, which kind of eliminates a part of gunner's arsenal when you really think about it.
Before we discuss the elephant in the room, I am well aware that I am not the best at balancing, but after using the Autocannon for quite a while, the awful accuracy really hurts when it comes to firing single shots to finish off enemies or daring to shoot at something more than 15m away from you.
And now onto the elephant in the room, I don't think this would affect Neurotoxin Payload all that much. It doesn't help the problem become bigger, nor does it help solve it. I think an accuracy buff to the Autocannon could really help the weapon feel better to use while not making the few overpowered parts of it even more overpowered.

Make guns that consume 2 bullets per shot (like minigun and zhukovs) shoot two bullets per shot.

I think it'd be cool if glyphids were blind and followed sounds.
Footsteps, gunshots, reloads, falling impact even if it doesnt damage you, pickaxe hitting minerals, salutes, and voicelines or sounds in reaction to taking damage will all make noise.
Throwing a grenade while running would make them walk toward that sound, because it's louder than walking.
They could also have a short range sense of smell for if you stand still.
Non player things that make noise, like Molly's footsteps, or the guns on the minehead will attract the bugs, only for them to realize it's not edible and not follow it's sound anymore. Or maybe they will already know the sound and not follow it.
I think this would be very interesting because Glyphids are kind of plain at the moment, this would add something interesting to even the simplest enemies.

Now, I know they said there would be no overclocks for equipment, so consider this just to be an equipment mod idea for the platform gun.

Fix the flavour text for the autocannon. There's no way those are .50 calibre rounds when the revolver at base uses 26mm (1.02 calibre) rounds and the elephant rounds overclock - which uses modified autocannon bullets - fits one fewer round in the cylinder because they're larger. The autocannon is likely 30mm high explosive (equivilant to 1.18 calibre rounds).
This isn't a bug, it's just an issue with a description, so that's why I put it here.

Gunner Zipline mod reworks (kind of)
Dont get me wrong, the zipline is a very useful tool in Gunner's kit (although very slow) it does get the job done.
However, there are some mods that I feel like could use some tuning that perhaps may end up making it not as much as a slog (since again and I swear this is last time I'll mention it, its very slow and kinda clunky to use sometimes)
The T3A mod (the damage reduction one) is nice, however Im not a huge fan that its a mod that u have to choose between this and the T3B (speed one) which I feel like its better overall so u dont snooze on the zipline. (Sure the cave generation can make certain gaps better traversed and having that mod is ok ig but do keep reading cus I have some neat suggestions)
With my previous suggestion which was "What if Molly was able to go faster to you based on the distance" I think it would be a great thing to apply to the zipline too. And to compensate, the speed mod gets put partially in the base zipline meaning that instead the normal 250 movespeed, it gets increased to 275 or 300.
For every 5 meters traversed on the zipline, you get a 5% movement speed increase and obviously this one has a hard cap of 30%.
The T3B dmg reduction mod could use a total rework. While its nice having it, you usually dont fall a lot of the times using ziplines unless u forget that u can actually spam E (or the keybind for console is, Im sorry that I dont know) and dont do zip-gunning (which isnt something that you should do to begin with unless you want to and seem to enjoy the playstyle of it)
And I think this is where I would say that instead of that, its replace with a mod that doesnt let you fall if u do get damaged (and if u do fall, the zipline grab radius is increased meaning that u can grab onto it again if u happen to spam it by accident).

Image example: Leftmost resupply has 1 charge remaining, center has all four, and rightmost has none. This is shown by the "bullets" icon that appears next to each resupply- a quick and symbolic way to assess the state of a resupply.
Additionally, instead of having empty resupplies just not showing up as they do now, they still show up but just as an outline (useful specifically for 🔺 Low O2 missions and generally as a visual waypoint to refer to).

examples:
the host is down and if you are near his body and didnt revive them asap because you're kiting bugs they will kick you.
you're pinging a vein in the wall and the host are scout they will kick you just by suggesting for them to mine it.
the host are driller and you didnt go to their bunker they will kick you
and all of this came from personal experience and happened a lot unfortunately, idk if its a regional thing (im from SEA and mainly playing with CN and KR) maybe they're just that sweaty and sad. but the hard work you put in a mission will just be gone form just a click of a button because the host are ah is just sad and really put this wholesome game down for me

some way to hold/pickup an active flare, maybe just grab one off the ground or ignite one and hold it up for greater light from the dwarf, probably makes weapons disabled while doing this and possibly can mine while holding a flare as well. just because usually the dwarf has a whole nother hand available when they have their secondary/pickaxe out. so possibly holding up a flare for light would serve the use of that free hand. (so things like gunner or drillers main weapons wouldn’t be able to hold up a flare while those weapons are out)

Idea 2: Your grenades affects are amplified by 5%/7.5%/12.5% (e.g. neurotoxin grenade slows more and last abit longer. The slow grenade from scout slows bugs much more. The Gunner spinning one goes for a bit longer or has 1 to 2 additional rotations. The L.U.R.E has more health, attracts a few more bugs from a larger radius)
Again idk on how the numbers should be I'm just throwing them in there to help get an idea of how this should work. Maybe you unlock it at a much higher tier maybe from 55% through the tree. Sorry if this is bad idea

probably been done to death but support item overclocks, heres a few examples i came up with
--gunner--
rocket propulsion unit (zipline): be careful of the burns. you can speed anywhere, angle increased by an extra 5 degrees but -10m of length
electromagnetic generator (shield): Driller accidentally dropped the shield and nobody's bothered to fix it in a while. deals electric damage to enemies outside of it, loses shield charging effect and takes longer to recharge.
--engie--
experimental plascrete: R&D mixed the plascrete material with the mystery fluid inside the barrels. platforms, although 3/4ths the size, now bounce you when landing on them from a distance higher than 10 meters. they're pink now as well.
custom barrel adjustments (sentries): engie's been tinkering on something new for the sentries. pressing R while placing turrets cycles between different modes (grenade barrel [explosive and slow, 20 ammo per shot], sniper barrel [heavy armour piercing shot, 10 ammo], full auto barrel [incredibly fucking fast, shoots 3 weak bullets per 1 ammo and turns very quickly, for swarmageddon]), downside is less bullet per damage value in total but more variety for different missions
--driller--
ultraheat drills: the geneva convention only applies to Steeve. reloading the drills while drilling makes you drill 150% faster and you now deal much more damage to bugs. drill overheats incredibly quickly in ultraheat mode and loses ammo 2x faster
grandma's secret dynamite recipe: the secret ingredient is hot sauce. throw out three charges in a fan shape, each one deals 2x the damage but half of it is now fire damage. cannot be picked back up and blast radius is 2x smaller

the statues in the memorial hall should go with promotions (bronze, silver, gold, diamond, whatever the fuck the red one is), level ten for each seems a bit too easy. also little trinkets should be added whenever an achievement or goal is met (e.g. obtaining all beers gives a little golden beer mug somewhere in the hall, rescuing doretta gives a tiny doretta minifigure, unlocking all perks gives a star, ect). i dont think they should be timed awards like season passes or events, thats a bit too shite and leads to locking some people out of it. also i do think when you promote you would be able to walk past all of your progress and all the little things you've collected and youd feel satisfied yk

"A science experiment gone horribly right, the Warder's Grace is what happens when a particularly daring dwarf tries fermenting a Warden's spore emitter in a borderline lethal dose of cold medicine.

Sorcery."
a today's special that costs 3 barley bulbs, sporting a strong (25%) potency. speckled in hues of bright pink, magenta and pearly white, the mug resembles a warden with the foam emerging from the area where the spore emitter is on the enemy.

Lubricated Cables (clean) - Zoom down your cables like never before! Zipline downwards speed +125%.
Double Barrel (clean) - Management has approved a second barrel for even more zipping. Clip size +1 and +1 zipline.
Lightbulb Sockets (balanced) - Extra sockets for added lightbulbs. They're a bit fragile though. Both ends of the zipline emit a low-intensity light, but speed -25%.
Rocket Science (balanced) - Small (probably safe) jet modules have been installed into your carrier. You can now speed both upwards and downwards, but ziplines -1.
Sniper Barrels (unstable) - An extremely long barrel has been duct-taped onto the end for increased range, courtesy of the engineer. +50m range, but -25 degrees of arc.
Precision Balanced Motors (unstable) - R&D approved new experimental motors. While incredibly fast, they're also incredibly fragile. +250% speed, but if you take any amount of damage you explode and fall.

"By removing most of the complex dwarf-pulling mechanism of the grapple, it now has a nigh-instant recharge time! You won't be able to pull yourself to a surface as fast, but you can swing along your tether to make up for the loss of instant mobility."
its the rope gun. grapple almost instantly recharges and allows the user to use their momentum to pull off swings, exchanging on the spot movement for sustained and potentially faster long distance navigation. the grapple can still reel the player in by holding right click, but its sluggish and takes a bit of time.

Give us more ghosts for haunted caves
as of now, Haunted caves is with ease the worst/least fun warning to play with. there is only a ghost bulk, and you always know its gonna be a ghost bulk, which will constantly run at you and hit you for damage with nothing you can do about it.
1st make it slower, i know its as fast as a normal bulk but even those are relatively fast.
but 2nd what if it wasn't only the bulk always?
what if there were 3 faster invincible grabbers instead?
what about a shellback? (doesn't hit as hard and doesn't knock as far, but still does)
why not a slower firing menace that popped up less often but hits harder?
this warning could be so much more than what it is now which is a shame because personally i adore the concept, but the in-game execution of it makes me hate it more than an elite deep dive in magma core with both septic spreaders and stingtails in the spawn pool (No hate on those two, ya? theyre fine, maybe they spawn a bit too frequently but thats a suggestion for another day)

Suggestion: Allow the Scout's boomerang to inflict the electrical DOT on any enemy it hits, including dreadnoughts. It could skip the slow if necessary, but otherwise the IFG feels superior in 99.9% of situations, and if the IFG doesn't work for a mission, I'd rather just take the other two options that aren't the boomerang.
Allowing it to inflict the electrical DOT (even without the slow) would me massively helpful for certain scout builds, as well as some engineer builds, so it would provide a decent amount of team utility to boot.

"QUASAR" Neutron Disintegrator
"As it turns out, the Rival presence on Hoxxes may not have yielded entirely negative results. The good folk in R&D have finally managed to unwind some of the mind boggling technology stuffed into a Caretaker, allowing them to carefully assemble their latest- and most prized innovation. By imploding and fusing fuel capsules using powerful lasers, this monster emits terrifying bursts of ionizing radiation within anything the beam passes through. Do thank R&D on the way out."
with the slowest fire rate of all of the gunner's primaries, the quasar acts a little like the coilgun, requiring the user to hold the fire button for a moment in which the weapon charges up
the longer the weapon is charged for, the greater its distance and the more focused it will be- uncharged shots are like scout's shotgun, firing irradiating, explosive blasts in a cone that excels in cqc, while fully charged shots will discharge a brilliant beam of bright green light that phases through targets and creates a radioactive explosion within each one hit
the weapon trades off the high fire rate normally present throughout gunner's primaries for high splash, high damage shots that can shred through crowds

Charged Area Damage: 60 [Explosive]
Charged Damage Radius: 1
Max Battery: 300
Rate of Fire: 2
Charged Shot Ammo Use: 5
Charge Speed: 2s
basic uncharged fire has the RoF of a warthog and works like the boomstick, dishing out heavy damage in a wide, but close area of effect. while it lacks in range, a gunner going ham on the normal fire can tear through swarms of light enemies as the radiation blasts pierce targets, allowing them to damage enemies behind one another. if anyone's played alien swarm, its basically the devastator- a fully automatic shotgun that decimates mobs.
charged shot is much more like the coilgun, firing a piercing beam that causes an explosion to emit from all targets it hits. if the beam doesn't hit a target, not much happens as it doesn't cause an explosion when hitting terrain. lining up and hitting multiple enemies will lead to more booms. like other beam weapons, charged shots have unlimited range and perfect accuracy.

-Downsides: Damage Decreased, Charge speed Significantly reduced, Trail Duration and range reduced
In my opinion it would be a bad idea to give gunner a tool that allows him to do stuff that driller can, but i came up with this on a whim, and it can maybe be executed in other ways, like allowing to fit through with 2 holes (Mc strip mining style)

Overclock idea: Slow Burner
Type: Balanced
Class: Driller
Weapon: Crspr 
"A Bit of messing with different densities of fuel and flow mechanisms resulted in a kind of fuel that burns nowhere as quickly as the usual kind. a side effect of this is your flamethrower spewing burning globs of the stuff instead of a stream of flames. unfortunately, due to its density and weight, you can take less overall fuel with you and in your tanks"
Slow-Burner Globs - Instead of a stream of flames, you will spew forth burning glob projectiles that upon hitting enemies, coats them in the stuff, dealing direct damage, slowing them down a bit, and heating them up, burning them with enough consecutive shots. your fuel flow rate becomes your fire-rate to how fast you shoot these globs, they have an arc and are affected by gravity (or a lack thereof in the case of the low gravity mutator).

F#%K THE LIQUID MORKITE MISSIONS
(fill in the blanks, because they are slurs and you cant do that here)
(and yes i joined the discord only for this complaint)
(no i swear im not malding after i died to a ceiling snatcher)
stop harrasing me in dms 😭
The liquid morkite mission is actually ---, its the most boring braindead ------- mission, you have zero fun, because its actually so ------- repetitive. It doesnt inspire any exploration, any mining, NOTHING, while you are just mindlessly fixing the pipes a swarm will appear and set you back 5 minutes. Theres nothing fun with going to the same pipes, fixing like 2 of em, and fighting a swarm rinse mother ------- repeat. The only semi fun part is actually building the pipelines and finding a way for them to connect, but that is hardly enough to make me ever want to touch this ---- --- ------- gamemode ever again after iv finished it. It is boring enough to make a grown man CBT, i thought this game was supposed to be fun?! Doing the same mindless tasks like im a ------- npc isnt fun, and i have a few ways that can fix this.
- Make it so theres only 1 pump you have to find, but its like far away. Encourages exploration and creative solutions to get the pipe to the pump.
- add like a sentry or two to the minehead, like in the aquarq missions. Helps clear out swarms faster.
- Remove the process of having to connect the cables a second time. Placing them in the first place was kinda fun, but going to each and every one just to "fix" them is just boring. It discourages making small compact spaces between the pipes, because they for some reason take the same amount of time to fix as the longest ones?
- Just remove the mission completely. Me and my friends are honestly just trying to enjoy the game but when we have to do this mission because 1 of us has it it makes us want to shove small needles underneath our fingernails. If you want to make the game better, suggestion 4 is the way to go

"You know the bugs have been trying to make Dreadnoughts, you're about to find out why. Scanners picked up on something ugly in a deep, well protected chamber- a Glyphid Broodmother. We're sending down a Drilldozer alongside a sedated Sentinel to guide you to the nest. We can't risk any more of em turning into Broodmothers, so make sure this sector's as dead as a graveyard, and good luck. You'll need it."

So, I just got this overclock on the GK2 called electrifying reload. And I wanna like it. But I just can't.
It does a pitiful 3 damage upon activating the detonator, which is fine, because the damage over time is enough to kill a grunt. (On haz 5) And that's all it kills. Unless you feel like taking tier 2 damage, in which case it also oneshots slashers on a headshot (again, on haz 5). But why would you when the weapon's whole gimmick is a flat dot unaffected by damage?
And the DOT, like most, doesn't stack. And probably for good reason. If you could, you could kill a solo haz 5 praetorian with 6 bullets.
Don't get me wrong, 1 tapping grunts is pretty ammo efficient, but in practice, it's more of a neat gimmick than anything else. Especially when you get swarmed by them, and killing them slowly doesn't do the trick.
Anyways, time for the suggestion part of this suggestion.
Make Electrifying reload do an AOE shockwave that would electrocute everything in its radius. The size and damage of the shockwave would be determined by how many bullets are in an enemy. If you want a number, idk, 0.5-0.7 size per bullet, and we keep the 3 initial damage per bullet. But the DOT's damage is constant.
Now what does this accomplish? Well, now you can comfortably fire at 1 enemy at a time, detonating when the enemies are clumped up together to do a nice bit of grunt clear, and weakening the other enemies.

Make Hoverclock for the M1000 Classic and Jet Boots be more effective in low gravity. In lower gravity it takes less thrust to hover and to get off the ground, so you got excess energy at your disposal. For Jet boots that should mean faster vertical acceleration. For Hoverclock it could mean a lot of different things. Holding down the focus shot button could give you a sort of jump boost mid air, faster time to hover when falling, and on the ground when using focus shot you get a shield buff (for as long as the focus shot is held).
Or if you want to make Hoverclock a "Balanced" overclock you could make it so if in low gravity you hold down the focus shot button you fly up into the air a bit, including when you're on the ground.

The Armskore rail cannon
"R&D has come up with a heavily upgraded version of the Armskore coil gun. Using a set of four electromagnetic coils, the cannon fires a electrically charged subsonic railshot that impales any and all enemies unlucky enough to be caught in your crosshairs. However, the ammo is quite large, so, you can't carry a lot of it."
Fires a charged shot that deal 100-500 damage, depending on how long it is charged.
Shot embeds itself into the ground, shocking any enemies nearby.
When shots impact the ground, they release a large shockwave, dealing 50 damage.

make contagion spikes (and corruptors to some extent) more threatening and an urgent threat to deal with, since spawning some noodles every few minutes seems underwhelming
mentioned before but have the plague larvae infect enemies, and have the contagion spike slowly spread its influence the longer you leave it unattended
more enemies become infected by the plague, more of the place gets contaminated
like how bet-c emits calls, the wails of freshly infected wildlife could ring throughout the cave as the spike's influence grows
that aside, even though im doubtful rockpox will be focused on for another season, i felt like it was pretty underwhelming and uneventful
was hoping we'd get another mission type and that there was more emphasis on the rockpox

Warning modifier (black out):
"Something here is messing with the lights, find out what it is and see what you can do"
Your flares life time is 50% percent less (scouts gun flares are 25%). Your head lamp is 25% dimmer. A mini boss spawns during a mission with this modifier and killing it gives all your flares their life times back and brightness to your head lamps back.
A biome that has glowing crystals that slowly fade in and out producing different strengths of ambient light, with water aquifers (puddles to lakes of water on "cliff edges") that can sometimes have waterfalls, maybe the biome tends to have much bigger cave chambers. I don't know on a weather event but maybe all the crystals and other light sources like Praetorian butts just fade out for a few mins making it so your lights are the only things lighting the cave might be too much.

Can we all agree that the homebrew powder overclocks are just completely lame? Like, completely uninteresting. You know what would make them fun? If they did a random status effect with each shot.
Since most of these overclocks are cleans, they should be pretty weak status, but since each shot can put on a different status effect, they can combine to do a lot.
These random status effects should come from a select pool. Maybe even two at once for something like the bulldog revolver.
That’d be way more interesting than just slightly more damage on average.

Overclock Idea: Impact rifle
Type: clean
Class: N/A
Weapon: Bosco 
Wait, a Bosco overclock? That's right! We're having this discussion all over again. While I do agree that traversal tool overclocks may mess with the synergy between classes and their effectiveness, this case is thrown out of the window in solo mode, where teammates do not exist and you only have Bosco. Unlike actual teammates however, who can equip overclocks and acquire stronger weaponry with powerful benefits, Bosco doesn't have that privilege. While Bosco not having overclocks encourages you to join or host so you can play with people like the game intended, sometimes it isn't possible, which is why I say let Bosco have overclocks to catch up with the power spike that some of them give, in order to stand up to higher difficulties.
I'm not saying this because Bosco isn't helpful, he is, it's just that I'd rather have a bit more than a no ammo scout with 2 cryo nades for solo haz 5.
Onto the overclock.
"When Employees started noticing management investing in combat drone technology, a few of the wealthier Employees bribed members of management to give funds to R&D in order to develop better, more combat adapted APDs. One of those developments is a powerful, single shot action rifle that fires shaped rounds, capable of cutting through crowds and doing substantial damage to targets."
every 10s (cooldown), when enemies are nearby Bosco will unfold a rifle, stay close the terrain around him (around head level with grunts), and shoot it. The rifle has 5 pierce, and deals 350 damage, split 50/50 between explosive and kinetic damage, and a 2s stuns to anything that survives. The rounds ignore armor like seeker rounds, but don't gain weakpoints bonuses.
If possible, Bosco will prioritize shooting higher priority targets like leeches or grabbers that took you, Mactera Tri-Jaws, Acid spitters, septic spreaders, Wardens, menaces, Etc.

bake the perks iron will and the active effect of field medic into the core game mechanics.
if we are being honest, IW and FM are the two strongest active perks when it comes to group play. this is especially the case when playing with randoms, where active communication and a certain degree of skill are not guaranteed.
this puts a bit of a unbalanced strain on the choices for active perks. you cant remove or nerf them, but choosing them for the sake of mission success locks you out of the other more fun active perks, like beastmaster or dash.
so, bake them into core gameplay. each dwarf gets 1 self revive and 1 insta revive per mission. this gives the other active perks more breathing room, allowing for more fun build choices overall while not losing out on overall survivability.
we already see alot in higher hazard levels that IW and FM are staple choices, so why not make them a default mechanic to open up some more fun choices, even on higher hazards?
edit: another good suggestion pointed out to me may be to instead work them into the armor system as mod slots.

Give the M1000 a base weakpoint damage bonus like the revolver.
For a precise weapon, I feel like it should have at least a +10% base weakpoint damage bonus instead of nothing.
The Supercooling Chambers Overclock basically requires you to have the weakpoint upgrade as it multiplies its value, which is 0% without said upgrade.
If its too OP with the upgrade, perhaps reduce the bonus from the upgrade and add it to the base weapon so its still 20%.

i played DRG since the early access release way back in 2018, and been playing it consistently until season 1 dropped. during season 1 i had to take a break due to various circumstances, mostly just work and playing other games. tried getting back in season 2 and thats when i noticed the only thing thats been annoying me with this game since forever: the (weekly) assignments are too restrictive
what do i mean by this? during assignments you HAVE to finish SPECIFIC missions on the mission board. thats actually fair if you wanna unlock new stuff, i love doing that. but my problem resides with the weekly assignments. in order to properly progress in the game, playing them is pretty much a must (unless you alrdy have everything. which i dont). they take around 5-6h to complete, and thats just to get extra resources. taking the deep dives into consideration, that adds another 1-2h of weekly resource grinding, which ends up being 8h on a good week. im not a person who has much time and i also play other games, so thats barely doable. then add the other unlock-specific assignments with around 4 missions each, and it leads to an everpresent grindfest where i feel super restricted in what i do
how can this be fixed? make the weekly assignments passive ones, like complete a point extraction, not this exact one. i think this is generally favorable for every type of player, because even those who pretty much 100%ed the game can still play whatever missions they prefer. player agency is important in games, after all
i hope y'all got what i was trying to say, and i really wish this game, its devs and its community the best. its just a minor thing that prevents DRG from being a perfect game, for me personally
P.S.: afaik the elite enemy modifier was taken away from assignments, so if im supposed to always chase an assignment if i wanna properly progress, i will never experience that modifier again
pure turtle
Enemy idea:
A stag beetle/centipede.
A unique enemy to the Azure Weald and Crystalline Caverns.
A charging enemy that can not turn sharply while turning. While charging, it can grab dwarves for a short time, dealing massive damage when it hits a wall or surface, at which point will let go of the dwarf.
I think it could make a decent counterpart to trawlers, and I also like having biome-specific enemies. (Provided we don't keep putting them all in the same places.)

you could even have a new stat tracked in the medbay for how many times you've showered vs how many REZ missions you've gone on, giving you a safety rating. not for you mind you, but to warn others if its safe to stay within 10 feet of you, considering how much radioactive dust you might be carrying.

Satchel Charge Suggestion:
Alternate tier 2 upgrade, “Motion Detonator”
Do you like explosives? Do you like explosives that detonate automatically when bugs step within it’s general vicinity? Then do I have an upgrade concept for you!
As an alternate tier 2 upgrade, Motion Detonator turns your C4 into the ultimate flank-guarding tool! Upon deployment, the C4 has a 5 second arming time which bars you from speedy detonations. Thankfully, after the arming time is done, the C4 will automatically detonate whenever a bug steps within it’s damage radius! This upgrade would be excellent for guarding flanks and setting up sneaky traps for those horrible bugs.
You obviously would be missing out on the utility of Kill Switch and detonating your C4 manually would have a considerable delay, but I think this would be a fun alternative to the explosive ordinance we all know and love!

After the initial 3 missions (or after the first one) you get the option (either for the host or a vote to decide): "evacuate"/"dig deeper".
If you decide to "dig deeper", each stage has harder bugs. Or more. Or no more/less and less nitra and you have to try and get as far as possible with the ammo/nitra you collected at the beginning.
If you evacuate, you get bonus exp/credits/minerals depending on how much deeper you got.

SHIFT and MOUSE LEFT BUTTON pressing down problem. Or should I call it a bug, I don't know.
When you run with the shift pressed and at the same time use a pickaxe strike, the game thinks that the shift is released and you have to press it again every time. And your character at this time stops running. It's terribly inconvenient and shouldn't be. It is necessary to intercept the state of the pressed shift, and not the event of its pressing. Exactly the same problem when pressing an attack on a machine gun and with some other types of weapons, if I'm not mistaken. When you hold down the left mouse button and you use a strike or something to interrupt your attack, when you select the machine gun back, the attack will not continue and you must press the left mouse button again each time. This is often confusing and terribly inconvenient! Most of the games have no such problem and you don't have to repress shift and LMB again each time.

a mission or event where you have to diffuse a massively overgrown bulk detonator
its body has bloated sorely out of proportion, rendering it completely unable to move nor attack
the detonation could possibly disrupt and destroy drg operations in the area, so you have to diffuse the thing before it can become any more dangerous

The auto reload mod for the Boomstick is kinda redundant with Born Ready and while you dont have to equip the perk and get the mod instead, it still feels kind weird how it only applies to boomstick only (and again I still believe that having Born Ready is a nice QoL perk)
So I would like to suggest a few ideas to replace it (since phosporus shells or whatever, the fire mod is clearly better and fear isnt that bad too).
1. Cone-shapped shells, basically it increases the cone radius from 4 to 6 meters and perhaps a small damage increase for the shockwave damage.
2. Slow down, buddy - as the name suggests, you make bugs move slower and the more pellets you hit, the slower the bugs get.

ENCROACHMENT
"Scanner's picking up on movement headed your way. We're getting no vital signs..- it doesn't seem to be the wildlife. Hunker down and prepare for hostile contact."
a random event that can occur during a mission, like the lithophage meteor
mission control announces their approach, followed by distant sounds of drilling, mechanical whirring and metallic pulsing before the rival encroachment party arrives- signified by a giant, worm-like rival doretta analogue that bores an opening and retreats into the hole, enabling the rival horde to enter
the machine raiding group consists of numerous patrol bots, shredder swarms, turret containers and a taskmaster which commands and leads the assault
similar to the prospector, the taskmaster is a miniboss with its own healthbar shown on the top
"Radio interference from the Taskmaster is preventing me from pinpointing your location! You'll have to destroy the thing before we can close the breach!"
while the taskmaster is alive, the opening made by the rival worm will continue to periodically spawn reinforcements until the miniboss is killed
once defeated, mission control will send down something like the cargo lifter, which unfolds to seal up the hole and finishes off any of the remaining robots, ending the rival assault
"Good work team. The breach has been sealed, and the defence station is active. You best hurry and get on with the mission- who knows how much longer this'll keep them at bay."

a new mission type called prospect, a turret platform is dropped and it has a survey shuttle on it. The thing scans the planet, you just have to defend it. It emits frequencys however that the bugs and lifeforms dont like so they try to attack it. After 3 scans are complete you can get the option to go "overtime" or go home which would allow you to keep going but the bug attacks get harder and harder forcing you to eventually push the button to send the shuttle and call a drop pod. Ive seen similar suggested previously and im pretty new to DRG, but i think just an option to keep going, in any form is needed.
- you can repair the shuttle like you would Doretta
- some new way of getting nitra maybe as eventually if you "keep going" you would run out in this type of mission

I'd like to see a small change just for the Mission control voice line for industrial sabotage so that instead of saying "Our rivals have begun prospecting blah blah blah." He actually says something along the lines of
"We may have successfully pushed our rivals back off Hoxxes a few months/years ago, but many of their prospecting facilities remain undiscovered, and we need to clean Hoxxes of all remaining rival operations completely. We've picked up the signal of a data vault somewhere in this cave, find the facility, destroy the operations, and wipe our rivals off the face of our planet!"
I think it would add just that little attention to detail that the DRG world is lively and that Mission control is acknowledging that the rivals have been pushed back since he said so at the start of plaguefall.

would be awesome if we got some little statues of certain dwarves who never came back from missions on the anniversary of DRG's official release on steam MC could say something like "okay miners we've ordered a shipment of small statues dedicated to the lost miners who never came back from the surface of the planet that we were going to send to the families of said lost miners however the shuttle that was holding them was hit by an asteroid and now all of the statues are in the caves and mines of hoxxes reminds me of the last few times we've had events never the less there will be a hefty bonus for anybody who brings back any statues in the form of minerals credits and some performance points rock and stone miners now get to work" i don't know i just like the idea

New mission types: super swarm and dread larva
Super swarm is like elimination where you have to kill a certain amount of bugs. The waves are smaller than swarms but are near constant, with almost no lulls in the action. ”we’ve picked up activity relative to a glyphid hive. We need you to get in there and take out as many as you can. Good luck, miners.”
Dread larva: like egg hunt but you need to find one Dreadnought cocoon in the larval state. On the way to it, there are Dreadnought cocoons that give you extra Xp and credits but you don’t have to fight them. At the end of the cave is a Glyphid Hivelet where glyphids coat the walls, and at the center is the dread larva. Take it, strap it to the MULE, and get out. ”scanners have picked up a large congregation on glyphids. It’s probably a Dread Larva, and if so, R&D will be extremely pleased if we got it back to the rig. Good luck, miners.”

-a stingtail
-mactera/spitball projectile

Once you're anywhere inside the drop pod, stingtails should be unable to grab you. One grabbed me earlier today literally as the drop pod was leaving. Cost me the mission. Simply unfair.

i think it would be a good idea for hearing impaired players if cargo crate batteries and lost equipment had a voiceline that would trigger when you were within a certain distance from one. something along the lines of "ooooh, i hear something valuable nearby!".

you could use the same radius for the voiceline trigger that is already used for the random bits of scrap you can find around lost equipment.

make it more powerful, since in its current state the mk2 hardly feels impactful even with its increases in range, ammo and dmg over the gemini system

So someone else suggested another use for dark morkite beer and this is what I think it could do.
Mining mission: You get slightly more morkite
Egg hunt: The amount of enemies that spawn after breaking an egg out is reduced.
On site refining: The dwarves repair and build pipelines faster
Salvage operation: Repair mini-mules slightly faster and triangulation is slightly faster.
Point extraction: Extraction would be slightly faster depending on how many people are under it's effect.
Escort duty: Repairing Doretta and the speed boost that she gets when near a dwarf is amplified.
Elimination: Gain 20% more nitra and more ammo from resupplies
Industrial sabotage: Hacking is faster depending on how many people are under it's effect. Hacking patrol bots is also easier.
That is how I think it could be buffed. Maybe increase the barley bulb cost. If anyone has their own take at this, I'd like to hear it.

This isn't a bug, but it is something that needs fixing. When the enemies stop spawning in a swarm, mission control says a voiceline even if you haven't killed any enemies. For context, I was on a refining mission, my friend needed to do something so I used platforms to bury him and shortly after, there was a swarm and I was knocked of a small cliff, had a plascrete mk2 moment and died. Shortly after, I heard mission control saying that the stream of enemies were practically eradicated even though I had killed none of them.

Add a breakable weakpoint to the tip of Stingtail's tail. When it's broken, the stingtail can no longer grab players.
Its normal weakpoint is awkward and difficult to hit, so disabling it is just a pain.

It's also a pretty logical feature that enhances the strats and playstyle for this enemy.

Driller's overclocks are mostly kinda... idk, boring? Basic? Well, here's an overclock for the flamethrower that would be cool I think.
Flamethrower Overclock: Fire Cyclone (probably an unstable)
"Don't ask RnD how they pulled this one off. Just accept that it's badass."
Holding M1 now charges a fire cyclone in front of you. The size and duration of the fire cyclone depends on how much ammo you spend charging the tornado, with the maximum being your clip size. Releasing M1 releases the fire cyclone , which quickly scales up to full size, and the fire cyclone will slowly travel in a straight line where you aim, pulling any nearby bugs along with it and leaving behind a trail of sticky flames if the cyclone is touching the ground. Heavier bugs, such as oppressors, will resist or be immune to being pulled by the fire cyclone.
Additionally, due to the fire spinning rapidly, flow rate is increased.
Downsides are reduced flame reach due to how slowly the cyclone moves (about the speed of a walking dwarf, maybe even slower), reduced tank size, and reduced max ammo to make space for the vortex module (idk man, I'm just making shit up)
How this weapon would interact with certain upgrades.
Mag size means higher max charge, Flame Reach increases life time of cyclone, flow rate increases both charge speed and the tick rate of the cyclone, heat radiance activates while charging the cyclone, and targets explode activates to enemies that die to the cyclone damage. The other ones are pretty self explanatory.
Also, please make funny ragdoll flings with this thing

Balanced PGL Overclock: Ballistic Shower Rounds
Firing while the grenade is mid-air will cause it to stop and split into 9 smaller grenades in a 3x3 grid
Split grenades deal 1/4 of the original grenades damage
-1m Explosion radius
Cannot reload until the grenade has exploded or been split
- Great for taking out hordes, but there's a big enemy like a Praetorian/Oppressor that would eat your grenade
- Unique firing method where you have to shoot above the swarm instead of at it, and then time is correctly in a similar style to the detonator flare gun from TF2
Similar to Salvo Module where you recieve an alternate fire mode, but the main fire mode is slightly nerfed
If you want to fire normally with Salvo, you have to tap fire instead of holding which gives it a slower rate of fire, although it's not listed. This just reduces the explosive radius of all the grenades, split or not.

suggested stubby buffs:
increase base electrocute chance to 40% (80% with the mod)
(30/60 would also help, but still feels a bit low considering this is THE electric gun, and the lok-1 can electrocute better without rng)
add a reduction to base spread with the tier 2 recoil mod
add a tier 3 mod that increases the strength of the electric dot, seeing as the electric gun having one of the weakest electric effects is a bit weird
make tier 5's electric arc a 50% chance instead of 25% (it's crazy to me how even with the gun fully built for electricity, it's still only like a 12.5% chance to activate)
Overclock changes:
light-weight rounds
- add a magazine size increase (in the ballpark of +10)
- remove or lower the rof and damage penalties
- ideally replace them with a lower electrocute chance (preferably down to the base 25/50%)
seriously, this is one of the worst oc's in the game atm
super slim rounds
- with the magazine increase being added to light-weight rounds, maybe give this the manual guidance cutoff treatment and replace it with something else (say, a higher spread reduction and slight weakpoint or electrified target damage boost?)
turret arc
-
reduce the non arc electrocute radius so you can reload your turrets without taking self damage
-
lower self and friendly fire damage
-
make the arc able to stun enemies, making it more effective in its role as an electric fence (atm, there is basically no reason to use this over em discharge)

- reduce the rate at which turrets can proc discharges to make up for the fact you'd be able to get them more consistently with the higher electric chance

crystal laurel
Between the 148 possible weapon overclocks, 137 lost pack rewards, and 284 possible cargo crate drops, there's a lot of RNG involved in getting different unlocks. If you want one specific overclock or skin, then it could take weeks or months of grinding to unlock.
So here's my idea: Add a trading table within the spacerig. Being able to trade with anyone for anything would make it too easy to unlock items, and would ruin the whole point of it in the first place. If trading was restricted to be only between steam friends in the same lobby together then it would be balanced. This way if you're an engineer main with a gunner overclock, you can trade with your gunner main friend for an engi overclock.
The trading table would have a top-down view of the table, and when two players are using it they can pick and choose which item(s) to trade with each other. Ideally, when an item is selected it would play an animation of the dwarf taking it out of their pocket and placing it on the table. Then when both players confirm, they swap items and everyone leaves happy.

Expanding on what many have previously suggested, I'd like to take a crack at an idea I had for a 'Capture' mission type. Plenty have suggested methodology for this, but I had a good read of the different ideas, and one that didn't seem to come up was one I thought of and pitched to a friend. Sure, we could just blast one until it's weak enough to trap, but there's something.. missing. Something foamy. Something we have ready access to back on the Space Rig.
That's right, I'm suggesting we use beer. But surely we can't use regular beer, the dreadnought is too strong and we can't inject something like a Hiveguard. We could try different beers and their effects for some cool guy points, but to cut to the chase of the true beer I'd like to suggest using, it's the one and only Blackout Stout. Knocks a dwarf out cold in one long swig and guaranteed to cause some seriously painful hangovers I bet.
Now obviously, we don't have an infinite supply of the stuff and management's gonna get mad if we're requesting something like ten pods of beer specially made to knock things out. What I mean to imply is they'll probably cut you off after three pods- wait, did I mention we'd be using pods? Supply pods? Nono, we're using a new type of pod. One that folds out into the shape of a keg with beer taps. Complete with beer cannons and long hoses snaking back to the keg pod.
Obviously you won't be able to get very far lugging something with a finite length of hose, so the idea is to pick a room to confront the dreadnought in, drop the pod beforehand and go through the process of fighting it enough to weaken it and hose down the mouth. I mean, you could try hosing the whole thing down and hope the beer seeps in to knock it out, but whatever works, works.
Thinking about it, there could be various situations or bonus objectives for a mission like this. Instead of the standard 'collect X' side objective, it could become something along the lines of 'Knock out both twins' or 'Capture multiple dreadnoughts'. Each encounter a randomized objective, or just a cave with one coccoon and the side objective revealed with the bullet feaster inside.
There are many things that can be changed up about this, like having the keg be something one dwarf can carry around while everyone else hoses down the glyphid (strategies may vary in complexity and rate of success), the pod itself having the ability to refuel with a mix of herbs in the cave itself (encouraging exploration) or even doing as suggested and utilizing other beers to mix up how you go about capturing the dreadnought.
Regardless of feasibility, I'm hoping this makes some sense/sounds the least bit fun.

i would like to see some more stuff in the salvage mission type that helps tell the story of what happened to the last crew.
old bulk detonator craters, broken gear laying around, maybe even rusted single person drop pods that imply the crew came a person short and had to wait for support, stuff that would let us piece together what kind of hell the last team went through that did them in.
you could even do stuff like broken ziplines and grappling hooks stuck to the roof, maybe with some resource packs below to show how the dwarf fell to their death

Probably not going to be very popular, but making resupplies take longer the deeper you are could be a gimmick. It would make the game slightly harder, but I don't see how that's a bad thing.

New Mission Type
Extermination
-
I got this idea from a mix between two current missions that already exist along with paying attention to details of certain items in the game.
-
It is known that the ommoran heartstone is a valuable resource and a fragment from it is used in engineers weapon used to create a high power laser, and it is also known that dreadnaught cocoons are growing, with also the voice lines from mission control saying "eliminate it before it forces us to shutdown operations in the area" implying that it can still grow and become a very large and deadly threat.
-
Essentially, this mission is based on a dreadnaught cocoon that allowed to grow, simply from ignorance or a team being unable to take down the cocoon, and so the dreadnaught was able to grow into a terrifying threat, with full body armour, and so is impervious to attacks, and requires a special weapon in order to take it down to allow operations to continue in the area.
-
This is where the ommoran heartstone comes into play, we know it can be used to create a high density beam of energy with just a fragment, now imagine a whole heartstone being used to create a laser, I am pretty certain that could kill some adult dreadnaught!
The mission will consist of that being the end goal, to kill the overgrown dreadnaught using this weapon.
It will work out like this ||(unsure on this of course, can be changed greatly)||
- The drop pod lands and mission control gives you the brief
- Your team and the MULE head on over to the cave in which loud noises are coming from
- Upon entering the cave, the dreadnaught lets out a loud roar? screech? and the boss bar appears at the top of the screen
From here on out, it is either a decision to make it so you have to charge something to fire multiple blasts to kill the dreadnaught, with more for higher difficulty, or an alternative option would be to power a "triangulator" that helps guide a laser from space to kill it, all whilst fighting off bugs and periodically running from the dreadnaught
- Upon the dreadnaught being eliminated, a drop pod is sent down into that cave, however it takes a while to arrive. Whilst waiting huge swarms of bugs appear after the very loud noise of a laser, and you must hold out while it arrives, similar to extraction missions.

I feel like the greenbeards are kind of shooting themselves in the foot whenever I see them playing hazard 1 on the server list
I know some people don't play the game mega seriously or don't have much experience with shooter games, but I also think that they're kind of wasting their time doing hazard 1 since it's so comically easy and maybe higher hazards just scare them off
I'm not hating on anyone for picking what they want to, I just think that they could be getting a lot more EXP and money to progress the game faster

Add a "Dwarves" or "Classes" tab to "Getting started" in the Miner's Manual, with each having their own tutorial that you can, if you want to, go through to get the basics of what the class does.

I am obsessed with morkite refinement. I'd love to queue up three morkite refinement missions in a row with random secondaries and modifiers, even if it meant taking a hit on rewards.
Every moment spent at the mission selector is a wasted moment I could be spending refining morkite. Why are you interfering with my morkite refinement efficiency? I would hate to have to report you to Management.
I'm just kidding; that's ridiculous. Reporting you to Management would take time I could be spending refining morkite.

We need an eyewear section for our characters. Already some things like the industrial goggles and NVG can go in there but then we could give them hair as well. Also just normal glasses so we can make characters like Les Grossman and Walter White. Or monocles for a bit of class. And being able to mix and match eyewear apart from headgear would be a great step in the already fabulous character customization.
TLDR: Eyewear and Headwear should be separate categories.

I am all about updates and expansions to the hub/rig, it's one of my favorite hubworlds in videogames and i love jumping around in it between missions as much as i do running in and shooting bugs, so I will likely most often try to give suggestions for more customization options or fun little things to add
Starting Off!
- A minor detail but the bosco on top of the terminal switching to whatever framework/paint bosco you have designed at the moment. There isnt as many frameworks with Bosco as there are the guns to the left of it so I would like to say its easier to impliment, but thats up to the developers
- Being able to change Mollys Paint like bosco based on the host of the mission! If we wanted to go crazy ambitious I would say Molly frameworks, but honestly just being able to walk around hoxxes with a blue MULE is enough for me
- I see that room next to jetty boot behind the bar, and if you're thinking about what other fun arcade game you could put in next, why not a DRG space invaders cabinet with the rival tech or bugs as the enemy!
i know things like colors for molly probably arent original and dozens of other players mightve suggested these in the past but i just think theyre neat

Buff rewiring mod OC, better ammo sustain on a weapon with already good ammo economy is kind of pointless, and you're forced to overheat to get said ammo which is really risky

A chance for a "rescue" mission to spawn when all dwarves go down in a public game. Could make it so only partial parties (say, 2 dwarves joining 2) could join, or just run an 8 dwarf game
Could be an interesting bit similar to salvage operations, and explain how the dwarves somehow keep getting back to the med bay

MVP System?
In the mission completion screen (not mission failure) the player who contributed the most gets a golden outline around their stats and an MVP sticker above their dwarf
The following grants points toward becoming the MVP:
- Enemy kills
- Teammates revived
- Pipelines built (not placed)
- Aquarqs/Eggs mined (little extra upon depositing)
- Mini M.U.L.E legs attached
- Depositing minerals
- Basically everything else that is either solo objective based/doesn't encourage sabotaging others (for example, starting an objective like building an uplink wouldn't really be contributing)
The counter argument to this would be "well what if someone sabotages a mission just for MVP" which is a pretty dumb argument in the team based game with a notoriously nice community
If it encourages competition so much, it'd push players to play more efficient or resourceful in order to get the "you did good" sticker

make the stingtail's tails glow a bright blue and have it a weakpoint that can be broken or shot to disable its grab attack
for a very high priority disruptive enemy that spawns pretty frequently, the stingtail has way too little visibility compared to things like praetorians, septic spreaders and menaces. sure it has extremely distinct sounds, but you'll hardly know where they're coming from until you're falling to your death because of how hard it is to spot one🦂
the fact that they're completely covered in heavy armour unlike every other disruptive enemy feels a little overtuned too

A high hazard mission where you board a rival tech space station, with a few new enemies.

I'm sure it's been suggested by now but an "alternate" mission that pops up for your assignments if you're playing friends-only. It could count toward both of your assignments--no matter which--maybe at a small initial cost of resources to unlock or with a preference for harder challenges on the mission selection. I've had sessions with friends end early because we progress slower as a team than on our own, and this could fix that. I have no nuanced balancing notes for this, but I'm certain R&D can come up with something clever
Voice line mock up:
"Request for special project received. We've found a mission specially suited for your team's skillset and have deferred each of your normal responisbilities to another dwarf." In this case, resources may be collectively spent to help management cover the "labor cost" of finding a suitable mission and someone to cover.
"Listen up miners, we've got a special project for YOUR team to handle. Management has requisitioned this crew in particular to take on a mission that has cost other teams their sanity. Don't worry, we will count this as part of your normal responsibilities. Good luck, you're going to need it" this case selects or creates a mission with extra modifiers or complexity

More omen modules would be super cool, especially a new variety for the bottom module. Maybe one could be a shockwave blast that knocks dwarves at ground level back and into the air. Perhaps also a flamethrower one that spews flame in three directions while rotating really slowly, forcing the team to think positionally.

An active Perk where you can drink one of the Craft Beers on a mission. Maybe limit it to 1-3 times per mission or on a cooldown but I really think it would be cool to 'bottle' a Craft beer by talking to Lloyd. Some drinks might need some kind of bonus added to them but imagine using wormholes to teleport to where your pointer is and then 30 seconds later returning to where you started, or Mactera Brew makes bugs ignore you for 15 seconds or until you attack, etc. DRG already have the brews so all that remains is implementing them. Oh! and a matching Passive Perk where the drunker you are the faster you move. Call it DUI (Digging under Influence) or something. The craft booze are way too fun to just limit in the abyss Bar.

glyphid stalker idea to make it all the more terrifying to encounter
instead of just turning invisible and burrowing, stalkers should actively try to cause dwarves to separate from their teams using audio lures and baiting tactics
not only are they capable of mimicking things like lootbug squeals, molly's beeping/footsteps, stalkers can regurgitate a trail of minerals leading one away from the team, or will actively uncloak briefly when in the sight line of a dwarf and sprint very fast back around a corner, tempting the target to follow it in order to 'finish it off'
if a dwarf is alone and not within proximity of another, stalkers will become extremely aggressive, gaining a massive speed and attack boost to slaughter their lured prey
they will always attack from behind, running circles, cloaking or burrowing around the target to strike from a flank
targets in their range have their voice subdued by a chemical gas the stalker emits which temporarily paralyzes the mouth, stopping the prey from calling for help, and their carapace is coated in reflective material, preventing it from being marked by the laser pointer
another possible idea could be to make them like the whiplash from earthfall, where they will grab their prey, run off in a flash to somewhere secluded and finish them off
stalkers should have distinct and audible footsteps to invoke the sheer terror of hearing a burst of lightning fast footsteps suddenly getting closer in seconds
also itd be funny if they shadow added the stalker in the next update/season
no grand announcement, the stalker is snuck in like the horror its meant to be to amplify the terror all the more

Hazard HR is MC (+20% hazard pay)
Description: The mission control guy is off today- Your HR representative is stepping in… now where is the resupply button?
How this works: HR guy (an elf) is working the mission control panel, unfortunately he doesn’t do this often so he runs this a bit differently:
Time limit- there is a time limit [ (complexity+length)*15 minutes] on your mission before the fuel in the drop pod runs dry- no I do not want to try to send it back up and down again- if it goes dry the fuel cells are inevitably going out of your pocket.
Leave anytime missions: “As your hr guy, feel free to return to the droppod at any time- you’ll get paid in percentage based off the work you got done”
Mini-mules (one per dwarf)
Once per length of mission HR will send you a free ‘drop’ at random… it is a 1/4 chance of being a resupply (and 1/4 chance each of being a clensing pod, or hacksey, or pumpjack)
‘Drops’ manually triggered cost less (20 nitra instead of 80) but HR does have a tendency of pressing the wrong button from time to time…
Also in salvage missions he will comment about pressing the wrong button on the last mission- sorry
Edit: Swarm inaccuracy
HR guy typically won’t give you a warning on swarms until they are almost on you- he doesn’t know how to see the warning signs until they are right on top of you

As most of you know, there are special and disruptive enemies in each mission. Shellbacks are one of my favorite enemies, and I wish I could fight them more.

Keeping grunts and upgrading grunts? I think it could be cool to be able to keep steve(s) after a mission and finally allowing them on the space rig, I would love to be able to interact with and upgrade grunts while on the space rig, and mabye even upgrading them, like giving them better attacks, armor, health, etc, and for the customization i think it would look great to watch a steve running around with a mining helmet on or something! the grunts varients could have specialties like slashers being better at attack, guards better for distracting/taking hits and the regular grunts being all rounders or being able to help with other tasks, but what do you guys think?

Honestly id like to expand on that, it feels like several ores like Bismor always come in the exact same size cube every time, how about rarer larger desposits of the mineral to spice things up? Keep the shape a cube or maybe have fun with it like just straight up two cubes attatched by the corner, i feel you could add variety to several of the minerals like magnite or umamite while still keeping the unique shape of them, maybe they splinter off like phaz or you can find larger spires of them on occassion

I feel like with how many downsides and how much value PBM (Plasma Burster Missiles) are and do actually change how the Hurricane works, I feel like it should be an unstable OC.
And Salvo Module should be a balanced but should mention the downside that the missile shotgun-like blast is unguided but you can still tap-fire but slower if you dont want to keep shooting the missile burst (in a nutshell PBM can recieve the Double Barrel treatment but only changes the type from balanced to unstable, the OC is fine as is)

Everyone talks about plasma burster missiles, but the plasma burster grenade isn't that great either. I think they should be more than just a cluster grenade on engineer.

Here is an enemy idea I got today and drawn a sketch over an hour or sth.
Glyphid Lumophage - aka the flare eater bug
This enemy has evolved to rely on a photosensitive, prolonged tongue to hunt, but seems to be deaf unlike the other bugs. In it's base state (purple), while in darkness, Lumophage travels and searches the biome while wiggling with the tongue in a cone area in front. This bug doesn't roar, but its breathing, tongue and step sounds are distinctive.
The main threat of the bug comes if its tongue comes in contact with any thrown flare - Lumophage immediately eats it and is then empowered by the chemical reaction the photons stimulate inside its body. It will then charge at any dwarf that steps into the lit area around it, and if you feed it more flares it can glow stronger and further than scout flare, increasing aggro range. The claws will also apply additional acid type damage that increases with extra flares (the limit is slasher damage x1.5). The bug's base hp is like of a preatorian, but at least weakpoints are very visible.
The eaten flares run out of light faster, so the buff can be waited out if the bug was far enough. The flare eater's weakpoints and claws get colored based on the median color of the flares that it ate. The one way to slow down the charge of a Lumophage is by throwing another flare at it, because it will be briefly stuck in animation of eating - definitely a risky strategy. Lumophage is immediately aggressive if the room is lit by a flare gun, but that can be preferable because it does less damage if unfed (it can't eat flare gun projectiles).
Keep in mind that staying in darkness, you won't be attacked unless you yourself fire at Lumophage. If you disable your headlight, even bumping into the bug won't make it aggressive, so you can wait until it walks further away and shoot it at a safe distance.

new enemies could be macrophage-like monsters; formless, gelatinous slime things that spew digestive enzymes and can interact with one another in complex ways- combining to form a large conglomerate beast, splitting up into a swarm of smaller hunters or changing form to resist, use and become vulnerable to elemental attacks

Time for another Space Rig suggestion! I've heard a lot of people that have either promoted several times or get worn out with deep dives long for something more to strive for in late game. This is something that for me was inspired by some of the 5th year anniversary look for the rig, as well as Shovel Knight's King of Cards campaign, where you're able to essentially bedazzle your hub. So, I'd like to combine that idea with a similar feature found in the space rig already. I'm speaking of course about purchasable cosmetics for the space rig, preferably simple paints or frameworks to allow for room for seasonal events without having to move everything around, and there's two possibilities to impliment this.
- Utilizing a technique similar to the statues in the memorial hall, keep this feature client-side. As long as the Rig Cosmetics don't involve literally placing new objects in the rig and are simply for show, you can have it so you and I see entirely different rigs, maybe I have blue railing instead of yellow with purple lighting and the 5th anniversary grate over the dance zone, while you have some roxpox themed gunk seeping through the place, assuming it goes away by the turn of season 5?
- Or The space rig is simply atuned to the host! This way, you can come visit each others space rig and see their designs, inspire greenbeards to work towards even further rewards and gives greybeards something to show off aside from the dwarf themself.

Two suggestions for enemies:
- A bug that acts more like a mole that can dig tunnels as well as dig underneath a dwarf and then pop out while also creating a medium size hole such that the dwarf falls into it. The hole should be large enough that the dwarf cannot hop out of it but small enough that it can climb out with a few jumps. This is sort of like how the Lacerator pops out from under you except this one destroys a chunk of dirt causing you to fall (not far enough to take damage). The goal here is just disruption, not primarily damage
- A bug like the Warden which empowers nearby bugs, however instead of buffing defense for attached bugs it provides movement speed and a light refraction/glowing effect. The attached bugs have an inverse relationship with light to normal bugs, the darker it is they glow more and the lighter it is the more translucent they are (almost to the point of being fully invisible, but still a slight effect should be seen). This way, when a horde is incoming there are likely to be a mixture of both bug types which makes it more chaotic since bugs that are in the same amount of light but have different properties will be able to be seen at different levels

If Mission Control holds a role so important in the company that he's got the right to directly communicate with the dwarves, then maybe other high members of the company should have that privilege as well, like for example, I imagine a character named "Chief Biologist" having as much value in the company as Mission Control.
See, Hoxxes is thriving with alien life of different kinds, from the basic Glyphids to the more exotic Naedocytes. Someone's got to study these things to both understand them, and get rid of them when the company recommends it.
This character, the Chief Biologist, would sometimes ask the dwarves to collect samples from the bugs during a mission, doesn't matter how they kill those bugs, a sample is still a sample.
Samples could be dropped by common enemies who leave an ominous smoke behind them. Enemies which are more "exotic" (that are, less common and more dangerous) would drop many more samples. Samples are stored directly into the dwarves' mineral pouch, which can then be stored into the M.U.L.E/drop pod so that the Chief Biologist grants the dwarves permission to order a "medipod", containing various self-administered body enhancing drugs. Whatever those drugs do, Management insists on keeping their ingredients secret.
What's so special about it, is that it grants the dwarves various buffs to deal more easily against the bugs, such as reduced damage against poison/acid, stronger pickaxe damage, slightly higher jumps, faster reload speed on primary and secondary weapons, reduced Rockpox infection, etc...
As for how long those buffs last, it depends on the buff applied. Combat enhancing buffs have a short duration, while utility buffs last the longest.

This could just be me not fighting enough of them or not understanding how aggro works, but I think there should be a better way to kite the Lithophage Corrupters.
I just came off of a mission where it immediately moved into a small tunnel and stayed there for the rest of the game, making it near impossible to fight as there was very little ground not covered in rockpox and half its body was in the ceiling.
Maybe it should have a tendency to move in the opposite direction of the last lithofoam put on it or toward the player who shot it? Probably not a guaranteed movement but at least you can make progress.

multiple people have discussed how the mark 2 sentry mod is somewhat obsolete vs having the dual sentries, so heres my personal idea on how to solve it.
"bigger sentry, bigger brain" ; taking the mark 2 upgrade will cause the mark 2 sentry to filter through available targets and only target large, important and damage-able targets such as praetorians, wardens, and oppressors. "damage-able" would refer to the orientation of the target, for example the sentry would avoid shooting an incoming oppressor from the front and select another target instead, until it could see its ass at which point it would swap targets.
this would add a further dichotomy and thus specialization to the two upgrades, gemini system being better for swarm heavy missions like egg hunt and point extract while mark 2 turret would be better for dreadnought missions and even caretaker fights.
this would also encourage even further use of turret whip, increasing the value of the shotgun vs other primaries for engie as it essentially lets engie become a high priority target killer.

Quest for Karl - we always say “No dwarf left behind” but rumor has it that Karl died on a mission and he has not been brought home. There should be a mini event where we go find Karls remains and his belongings, probably scattered all over the place by now, and bring him back to the space rig.

Can we get reg Drednaught variants like the Pretorian with a frost and radiation effect from the respective biomes. These Drednaughts have spent too long brooding in the cocoons so much so that they have taken the elemental environment and made a different blast and second effect(swarmer and pheromone egg that it shoots)
Radiation Drednaught:
First shot type: blasts a powerful green laser that will go on for a few seconds at specific dwarf doing more damage the longer it stays on you and gives you a little rad charge that hurts your team if you too close to them
Second shot type: makes a huge area that is effect by radiation like a large rad exploder this makes areas blocked off giving it a chance to possibly corner you
Frost Drednaught:
First shot type: shoots a sharp icicle that peirces the dwarfs armor and does damage directly if hit completely ignoring the sheld
Second shot type: shoots a ball that instantly freezes anything in a 4 m radius
The other physical attacks and weaknesses will stay the same otherwise so that it stays a reg Drednaught but also gives a tad bit more variety

As popular as DRG is, I find it a huge shame that the game doesnt support Steam Input API (SIAPI). Would make controller configurations wayyy better for use on PC.
More importantly, I would really like to see the inclusion of being able to select what input buttons we see in game via the options menu. This would give us the option to choose whether keyboard inputs are displayed on screen, or controller button inputs
With a Steam Controller using the trackpads as mouse or any controller with a binding set as mouse (gyro as mouse for example), you get button flickering due to both controller and mouse inputs being sent at the same time. Giving the players options to choose which input to see would eliminate the flickering and would be really nice, and much appreciated

Driller weapon: Sound Cannon
"As the name implies, a non-lethal weapon that uses high-wave acoustics that acts as crowd control. It doesn't work for you dwarves but works effectively well against gylphids as they use echolocation to communicate. Giving the folks over at R&D a new idea...and a distraction..."
Pros:
*Works effectively against glyphid type enemies
*Has a chance to stun or cause them to flee
*Passes through them
*Can be charged to create a shockwave that pushes them back with an increased chance of stun
*Could work against Q'ronar (?)
Cons:
*Deals less physical damage
*Has no elements (unless equipped with an OC with elemental damage)
*Deals less damage with other species (Macteras, etc)
*Can overheat and possibly break
*Can break your speakers or head/earphones
Mid:
*While less effective against other species, it's effects such as stun or fear (inlcluding OC types) works

Let us see them on the terrain scanner so we can keep track of where they are, even if we don't see them. This could come in handy with arbalest, or just generally a dreadnought wandering off to a point you have to wait for them to dig to you.

supercooling chamber overclock for the m1000 should increase charge shot cost instead of nearly halving total ammo
that would make it so it doesnt discourage the normal shot use, making it more viable in normal missions instead of it only being viable in elimination and industrial sabotage
(and even in those missions its only semi viable because standing still in those is super dangerous on higher hazards)
and another thing, removing the charge speed penalty, and instead making it so it has multiple charge levels like the coilgun sounds cool
like, it would have 2 stages, first taking the normal time to charge, and dealing normal charge shot damage, or maybe a bit less to balance it, and the second stage taking more time to charge and dealing the extra damage

Idea for a new driller secondary: a neurotoxin sprayer! Spray it directly on bugs or spray it on the floor to create lingering clouds of neurotoxin! Some upgrade ideas:
-Capsicum Infusion: gives the direct stream a fear effect and makes bugs avoid the lingering clouds.
-Chitin Softener: affected enemies take more damage from all sources temporarily
-Pheremone Infusion: direct stream gives weak pheremone effect and lingering clouds draw bugs in.
Here are some reference images so you know what this weapon is meant to look like:

supercooling chamber overclock for the m1000 should increase charge shot cost in...
Yes, that would be perfect for Supercooling Chamber! I would also tweak some of the stats for QoL
So, it would look like this:
- +150% Focus damage
- Still has improved weakpoint bonus
- Focus shots costs 3 ammo per shot
- Magsize is INCREASED by 1 (So you either have 9 or 15 shots, both of which are divisible by 3)
- Focus speed penalty is only -25% (improved from -40%)
- Multiplies movementspeed by 0,4x while focusing (instead of the superharsh 0x multiplier), resulting in a 20% movement speed while focusing
- No longer has an ammopenalty (as that is handled by the 3 ammocost on focusshots)

What about a base building component to the game? It could be a good use for credits and perk points for those who don't have much need for either later on in the game. I think it could add a fun survival mode aspect to the game. It might be fun to incorporate that into missions or into its own separate environment.
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this before, but I have been playing this game for almost 4 years now and have always thought this would be a cool addition to the game.

Idea for a new driller secondary: a neurotoxin sprayer! Spray it directly on bug...
expanding on this idea, i think this should be used less like a weapon and more like a crowd control tool.
something with a wide area of effect, but with poor damage, ammo, and reload time.
imagine for example the fear mod in a crowded space. suddenly the bugs just cant get to you anymore, if the weapons reloads too quickly or has too many uses it can really make things far too easy balance wise.
so we give it the repressurize mechanic of the cryo cannon, and maybe the "cant stop till its empty" effect of that one shard diffractor oc, and say 6-8 shots in the chamber. area of effect would be comparable to the tunnel dug out by doretta width wise at max and maybe 60% as tall. repressurize time say 8-10 seconds. decent nuerotoxin damage but the main thing you really want it for is the secondary effects added by mods, like the boltsharks special bolts.

Description:
With extensive trial and error, and a few sleepless nights, you were finally able to get your trail to deal direct damage to any enemies in it’s way as if it were part of the projectile! unfortunately, the modifications forced you to compromise most of the gun’s systems, so it's a bit unwieldy at times.
Trail acts as if it was part of the projectile, dealing direct damage to any enemies that are in the way of it as it is being created (damage is equal to 75% of the gun’s normal damage)

A new “random cave event” . The Glyphid Queen, there’s a 2.5% chance per mission that the players can encounter one. The Glyphid queen is unkillable, and massive compared to even Doretta. When the queen spawns, mission control will announce its presence and send in the drop pod early, creating a mad dash back to the drop pod. Upon completion, the rewards will be paid out in full even if the mission quotas weren’t met before the queen spawned. Why add this? First it would add much needed variety to the caves of Hoxxes and the constant fear of a massive threat looking below. Secondly, I think it highlights a part of the game most have forgotten, Hoxxes is untamed, extremely dangerous, every mining company has failed in then past. There needs to be some bigger threats to sell that fact

Driller secondary weapon idea: industrial rebar puncher
It’s a modified industrial use shotgun which has three rounds in a triangle shape, which rotate like a revolver. When you fire it, it fires a burst of 6-10 rebar fragments (depending on mods) and rotates to the next barrel. The rebar is very hot and stays in the ground for 5 seconds which deals burn damage while bugs walk over it. The gun has 3 ammo in the clip but can be upgraded to hold 6, and the reload is driller stuffing more rebar into the front, similar to a musket. The rebar pierced very well and does burn damage. Holding the fire button for a bit fires all three barrels at once, which does stun the driller as well as force him to reload unless he has the mod.
Some interesting mod/overclock ideas:
Combustion agent (tier 2 mod) - the rebar sparks on hitting the ground, setting fire to anything near it. This also ignites gas clouds.
Magnetic bearings (tier 5 mod) - The gun has 50% less recoil and now is fully automatic
Neurotoxin agent (balanced oc) - Remove the burning effect and replace it with a gas that slowly spreads and is flammable. The gas has a wider aoe and lasts longer but does less damage.
Opinions?

UI Change: make an indicator for heat buildup on weapons like the plasma carbine appear on the crosshair
I have to constantly look away from what I'm shooting and at the weapon to make sure I'm not overheating. This was especially noticeable when I was running the thermal exhaust feedback OC on the plasma carbine, as the weapon overheats incredibly quickly. Having some kind of indicator that doesn't require me to take my eyes far off the enemies would be very helpful. I understand you can kind of tell by how much the weapon is glowing but it would feel much better to know the exact amount easily

I've seen many discussions on how we should nerf the stingtail. Some say that the armor should be removed. Others say that the pull strength should be reduced. I personally believe that the stingtail needs a much more obvious weakspot and an increased time between the audio cue and grab, let me explain.
All of the high priority targets in the game (web and acid spitters, mactera, menaces, etc.) have obvious weakpoints that can be used to very quickly dispatch the threat, making it very fair to face off against these foes as they usually die in 1 hit from, let's say, a scout's m1 garrand. Even menaces and brundles, which don't die in 1 shot and tend to be seen more as tanky high priority targets, still die rather quickly if you shoot the weakpoint. This has been a core game design feature across all of the high priority targets aside from stingtails, which don't have an obvious weakspot. This makes them very annoying to fight against since they don't die easily and don't feel rewarding to kill compared to 1 shotting a tri jaw.
Next, another key element that most high priority targets tend to have is a long wind up time between their "I'm about to shoot" sound effect, and their actual shot. Take macteras for example, you hear them winding up their shots and you have plenty of time to do one of 3 things:
- Duck and cover
- Send them to jesus
- Dodge
With stingtails however, you don't have much time in a frantic situation to actually dodge their attacks, and you sure as hell can't turn around and punish them because you can't 1 shot them without something like hyper propellant. This makes them feel unfair to play against as a casual player. Even the exception to this rule, spitters, tend to not only be less annoying and punishing than getting flung all the way to mars, but are also usually far away making it so that if you hear it, more than likely you have an estimated 2 business days to react to it.

Ideas for hazard 6 (yeah I know it exists in mod form but who cares).
At this point, pushing more enemies onto the player just seems pointless. So instead, past hazard 5 some enemies get different AI specifically to thwart the dwarves.
Praetorians/Oppressors
- Will move infront of large glyphid swarms to tank damage for them.
- If they struggle to squeeze into an area (like a bunker) they will destroy the area around it in order to make more room.
Detonators/Swarmers
- Will spread out and away from other enemies more.
Menaces
- Now has a secondary attack where it will dig behind a player and shoot twice before relocating again. It is able to dig into gunner shields.
Stingtails
- Will attempt to stick to walls or near bulk detonators
- Prioritizes dwarves that are reviving or resupplying.
Grunt Guards
- No longer slower while guarding.
- Will protect grunts in the absence of a Praetorian/Oppressor.
- Will prioritize guarding slashers.
This is just what I could come up with from the top of my head so if anyone has any other ideas to make this hazard absolutely horrible then tell me

With all the contagion spikes I've cleared, I've always felt that the lithofoamer tends to outshine the lithovac. I'm sure many people are aware of a neat interaction where the lithofoamer will temporarily stun rockpox enemies, and I have an idea to do something similar with the vacuum. Currently defeating a large amount of rockpox enemies will leave a giant cloud of infection, forcing players to wait until the cloud subsides to continue cleaning. I suggest that the lithovac be given the ability to suck up these clouds, giving vacuuming dwarfs more to do and removing a bit of tedium from the cleaning process.

Radioactive and magma variants for lootbugs. Radioactive lootbugs would drop umanite and nitra and would have a 90% resistance to radiation.

Thunder head unstable mod: Gustav (named after the big cannon) makes gun semi auto, 60 base dmg, 40 base aoe, larger aoe. No spread. 0.2x total ammo. Maybe something like 20 shells in the magazine? Instead of sustained fire it would fire singular decently powered and ranged artillery shells, blowing away or dealing decent damage to chunks of enemies at a time. A slow, powerful single shot at a time heavy artillery unstable overclock would add a really unique option for gunner, and would put an emphasis on the need to use a secondary to take out single targets with its lower ammo pool. I know it’s somewhat similar to big Bertha, but I think that it would be distinct enough with its even higher damage and slower semi auto gimmick.

I think it can be agreed on that industrial sabotage is the least enjoyable mission type in the game. Here's how I suggest you fix its biggest problems.
First problem is that the caves are quite boring. They're more similar than any other mission type's caves.
Second problem is that its repetitive. Every time, there's 2 power stations and the same old boss.
Third problem is that the caretaker is frustrating to fight. It has an extremely large amount of attacks and can summon minions making the battlefield extremely bright and cluttered.
The first problem is easy to solve. Make more rooms and more variety to the caves.
Second problem can be solved by making the number of power stations dependent on the length and complexity of the mission.
Third problem has a few solutions. First solution is to make the caretaker only use a few of its attacks. Second solution is to make more bosses that can replace the caretaker.
I seriously hope that industrial sabotage gets a rework as it isn't very fun right now.

New Mission Type - Broodmother-loaded
A mission type with a unique not quite endless objective.
Just a simple mining mission, or is it? Data recovered from the rivals has been decrypted and after preliminary search teams were dispatched, management has located huge deposits of rare materials deep in hoxxes. The catch? Their formation is a byproduct of the spawning cycle of a glyphid broodmother. She isn’t exactly welcoming of dwarves, nor is she killable by conventional means. The goal is to dive in, keep moving, and avoid confrontation with it at all costs.
Unique Specifications
There is no limit on minerals you can mine. Payout is proportionate to amount collected.
Broodmother works like an evil doretta, tunneling between caves (in a set order) towards the team, and in her wake leaving an area swarming with an endless tide of bugs.
Broodmother has some unique summons, and buffs to nearby bugs that she uses if players get too close.
Broodmother gradually speeds up, and the spawn rate gradually increases.
Cave Gen isn’t purely SW like on mining mission and escort, but will go in every direction while remaining linear, trying to maximize the space used (drg caves aren’t infinite and there is a hard border).
Cave Gen is also slightly more extreme than normal.
Players are equipped with a reinforced mule that moves faster to make up for the focus on speed.
Players start with Jet Boots.
Objective minerals include morkite, aquark style large minerals, and mini hearthstones that you call down drill pods (like the morkite well) to open up. These function like the lithophage rock crackers.

Your job now is to get down there, crank operations back to life, and finish off what they started."

its been suggested to death but a tower defence-esque wave mode
***VANGUARD***
...
-
first step involves de-infesting the base- having been turned into a glyphid spawning grounds, the dwarves must first rid the outpost of brood nexuses, eggs and the many enemies guarding the infestation
-
when cleared, a large mule (stay-c) will activate and a timer will begin. during this time, players will go on trips to meet a set quota of various minerals, such as dystrum, morkite, gold and so on. once the quota is met, stay-c will return to the outpost and begin the deposition process into a minehead, which takes a minute. once she is done depositing, the minehead will take off, a new one will take its place, and the team will have a new randomized quota to meet. this is repeated several times until all mineheads in the base have been used. stay-c will only return to the outpost and begin the deposition process once the quota has been met.
-
once the aforementioned timer has ended, a countdown will begin, regardless of whether stay-c has docked or not. at the end of the countdown, the team will be tasked with defending the outpost from a continuous wave of enemies trying to destroy the outpost. ideally, the quota is to be met before the wave begins so that the entire team can be at base defending. failing to meet a quota before the horde arrives means the team will be split into those still trying to get the minerals, and those trying to defend the base, which can quickly escalate into disaster
-
support drops can be ordered using nitra to help defend and reinforce the base
-
once all quotas have been filled and all mineheads have been sent off, the drop pod can be called down. extraction proceeds like normal
