This is probably one of the most suggested things on this board but hey, new Dreadnought pitch!
'Glyphid Dreadnought implies Dreadnoughts of other types' Will not be the PRIMARY focus, this can be done without, but this could very easily be the Mactera brand Dreadnought
Dreadnought Gunktank!

Main theme of this boss is being more focused on messing with the terrain by shooting septic goo from one of two large spouts on its back that can slow dwarves down or deal damage over time,
which it can then combine with a fireball effectively setting off an explosion in the area. Maybe one spout shoots goo charges and the other fire? or simply fire from the mouth.
The shell is focused on keeping the dreadnought slightly airborn, giving it a completely new movement pattern to the previous bunch. It's slow, but is harder to dodge. Perhaps once the dwarves break open a weakpoint, either a goo sack throughout the underside or back of the Dreadnought, or the goo spouts themselves, the bug can fall to the ground becoming easier to shoot

Giving certain enemies weaknesses to uncommon damage types would be cool. I feel like septic spreaders would be weak to internal damage and slashers would be weak to thorns damage. I'd also like to see some enemies like dreadnoughts and menaces getting a melee weakness.

Shard Diffractor Overclock: Lens Enhanced Targeting

"Firing your beam at your sentry will now cause the sentry to fire the beam instead, empowering the beam allowing it to punch straight through a target. Unfortunately, the intense heat will melt through the rounds within the sentry".

rocknstone Shooting your sentry with the Shard Diffractor will cause it to redirect toward the sentry's target.
Beams fired by a sentry can penetrate up to 1 enemy (primarily so it is able to hit dreadnought/oppressor weak spots).

tothebone Uses sentry ammo 1 - 1 with the Shard Diffractors ammo (1 shard diffractor round = 1 sentry round).
Increased recharge time (+0.4s)

With how many perk points the player can accumulate throughout the game with milestones, and upon unlocking all of the passive and active perks, as well as additional perk slots, the player can have up to over 170 perk points to which they have no way to spend on (I'm sure a lot of grey beards can attest).

So what point is there to complete the milestones, once you have gotten all of the perks? You pretty much got everything it can offer, there's no point in spending them anymore.
Well, there should be more ways to spend those perk points, right? So it's not left forgotten in the dust.

Someone, under the name of @dim dew suggested that the perks could be further expanded in order to finally spend those many remaining perk points. He mentions that in order to solve the problem of unused perk points, we could simply have more perks to spend on.
One interesting suggestion that he made however, is to create a branch tree for the active perks, which would allow for more specialized or gimmicky builds.
Here is a video where he makes mention of this: https://youtu.be/vRmyQ6HViS0?t=132

On top of that, the less useful passive perks could be made more useful. "It's a bug thing" for example, could have its base range increased further (like 5/10m instead of 2/7m, and the minerals dropped by lootbugs could be directly sent into your pouch, like a magnet.
Second Wind could have an AoE that grants teammates the same effect upon triggering, so that they could keep the pace with you (especially in tunnels).

Honestly this is some out there ass suggestion and probably defeats the more simple aspect of this chat, but I’d love to see another Rival Season but it completely twists the game on its head.

What I mean is, the Rival company intercepts active Drop Pods and forces dwarves to do tasks for them, flipping pre-existing mission types on their heads and swapping out Mission Control with a new announcer.

Even if not the Rivals specifically I’d love a season based on this premise.

#

Salvage could be changed to you setting up Nemesis’ and other Rival tech to hurt other dwarves later on, having to operate around a mission where you’re building things that can harm you, but you have to keep them up and operational

Egg Hunt could be you establishing new Glyphid nests to fix the damage DRG has done to the environment, actively creating new swarms and perhaps Dreadnoughts for future mission canon

Of the top of my head ideas

I think DRG has a ton of already good missions and it would be hard to squeeze in too much more, so an alternate mission type entirely would be an interesting work around

Suggestion: Unify the Cosmetic Rewards into the Forge to increase drop rate and mitigate 'Empty' results.

Right now, I'm in a spot where I get "Empty!?" results from lost gear. This makes Lost Gear effectively near-valueless to me from a reward loop cycle. I'm sure others are in that situation, too. And the numbers of things you can get from missed seasons are only going to bloat some of these further, whilst leaving others high and dry.

My suggestion, then, is to unify all cosmetic rewards across all drop types - Cosmetic Overclocks, Crate rewards, and Lost Gear rewards - into the Forge system. How this would work:
Make everything cosmetic something you make at the Forge. Have the 'Plans' you otherwise would pull out of Lost Gear/Cargo Crates have 0 cost at the Forge. (This would also require unlocking the Forge interface earlier for players who have not yet promoted, but I don't see that as an issue.)
When you've otherwise emptied a source of cosmetics (for example, if you have nothing left that can come out of Lost Gear), it pulls a random reward from the other cosmetic pools you can find. IE, it either drops a Crate cosmetic reward (a weapon skin framework, for example), or a cosmetic Overclock (not a blank in my envisioning; something like a victory move). Cosmetic OCs would still have their normal forge cost, and you'd need to have promoted once to forge them, but you really shouldn't be in the situation of getting cosmetic OCs without having promoted via this manner unless you are one stubborn SOB about promotions.

To differentiate the ones that have no cost, categorize them as "Pre-Paid Cosmetic Overclocks" or something.

idk if it's been suggested but It'd be a nice addition to Gunner's Ziplines if you could use them as conveyors up and down for large objects.

Could make it activate by adding a right click prompt when holding large objects whenever you would have an attach prompt, allowing you to carry an object on a line, or send the item alone.

Alternatively, make the 'send' prompt replace the attach prompt so that if you wish to transport items you could place it on the line and immediately follow it yourself, allowing you to escort valuable objects on lines while keeping the capacity to shoot.

If going downwards, it would automatically go fast (as if holding W).

This addition would provide logistical assistance for you and your team. Become a central point of retrieval for point extraction missions, send Dottie's batteries to and from further shale deposits. don't have to worry about getting shot off a line while carrying a Jadiz or Pearl from place to place.

Could possibly even add an upgrade (likely in final tier) that makes ziplines automatically catch large objects thrown or dropped on a line, sending them DOWN the line, which could even be chained to other lines to go the whole way down a hole or all the way across a complexity 3 cavern

For Engineer's turret upgrades, the Hawkeye system is a really cool concept, but it's rendered obsolete by the Defender system, as nearly double damage is simply too good to pass up. The Hawkeye and Defender systems should both deal the same amount of damage, but the Hawkeye system should have a slower firing speed and the Defender system should have a faster one

Do you know the voice line: "I wonder what slop they're serving in the canteen tonight"?

Add a snack bar that serves food that can grant additional benefits much like the today's special at the abyss bar but you will have to get the ingredients by killing harmless wildlife and there will be a small chance of them dropping collectible flesh. The same goes with plants like the bloop fruits in azure weald for example.

Here are some meal names

Fried Hexawing Legs

Cave Angel Steak

Cave Cruiser Deli

Maggot Soup

Huuli Hoarder Roast

Loot Bug Sandwich

Cave Vine Pasta

Deeptora Honey Treat
Korlok Tyrant Salad

(Biome Plants)
Puffball Fungi Curry

Chromepuff Kebab

Pickled Walleyes

Crushed Bough Cone

Bloopy Fruit Gushers

Idk about what buffs or effects they can give to the player but I can imagine some unique voice lines off of these like with the loot bug sandwich for example "I think I choked on some nitra" or something.

dreadnought missions are quite fun i admit, but i dont think anyone would disagree when i say that seeing more dreadnought variants would be fun. however designing a new dreadnought is a bit of a hard task , especially trying to come up with a reason as to why there is another variant.

so why not have deformed variants? dreadnoughts that didnt quite cook up right in the cocoon, and as such have new abilities or mechanics that make fights more varied?

some examples:

conjoined twins: these twins didnt fully seperate in the cocoon, and now 2 have become one with the arbalest hanging limply off the back of the lacerator. they have a larger health pool, can preform both abilities of the twins, and instead of healing a ton of health periodically, heal a very very small ammount constantly.

"eggshell" hiveguard: this hive guards armor hasnt settled right due to a poor diet before gestation. it has breakable armor and health like the twins and is faster, but enters a panicked state when it takes enough damage (1/3rd of its health) and summons a swarm of sentinels while it runs away.

diseased dreadnought: simply enough, the rockpox dreadnought! this poor thing was infected right before it gestated, and now its entire body has been corrupted by the interstellar plague. classic rockpox abilities on top of the normal dreadnought fare.

another mechanic added to this could be themed or at least colored cocoons. rockpox covered ones, sickly half deflated ones and ones swollen oddly for the conjoined twins. different cocoons for the normal dreads would be nice too, so people could prep for them depending on the room.

New status effect for tranquilizer rounds and neuro-lasso OCs that makes bugs take more damage from other sources.

daily tasks

at the moment in battle pass boring, long not interesting (in my opinion) daily tasks that give almost nothing

my suggestion: either redo them, or add another one, in which there will be rewards like 3000 credits or 25 jadiz / bismor

tasks will be like "kill 300 bugs for engineer" or "collect 400 nitra" "do 50 times fire damage", I hope you get it.

why is this necessary? to give people a mini-challenge, not just "play 5 times as a driller".

For a Halloween Update they should add a special super hazardous and long Hell Biome (that will ofc gives a ton of xp and credit then haz 5)

play the full experience with all the different circles in a special Elite Deep Dive Hazard 3 that goes to 6.66 at the final boss
6 missions based around Dante’s Inferno’s circles of hell
The biomes and creatures get special changes (visually and gameplay wise) to reflect the descriptions of those circles of hell, the lust biome being a very windy level that can blow you away to your demise if you aren’t ready for it, possibly have breeders spawn more in this one, and the creatures there being resistant to pheromones.
Mini bosses/special variants of creatures we know already such as a glyphid Cerberus in the Gluttony circle, Centaur like Spitters (can be liberal with the design on this one), and Harpy like Macteras.
New special minerals such as Brimstone or even the real mineral Torbernite which is nicknamed “The Mineral from Hell” which can give Lung Cancer in real life
The final boss being 3 faced bug lucifer

Any additional ideas can be added if ya @ me in suggestion discussion

So when q'ronar bugs are frozen they keep moving, but I think this can be taken a step further. When a q'ronar bug is frozen it should continue rolling, but it loses its ability to steer causing it to keep rolling in one direction until it hits a wall or thaws out. On hitting a wall, the shellback/youngling takes a lot of damage and unfreezes. This would be more interesting than what currently happens although maybe increasing the temperature at which these bugs freeze could balance this a little.

Employee Devotion System
A System for players with Excess Perk Points to spend them on something that a player at that stage of gameplay would be interested in. My suggestion is, to allow Players to spend a rather large amount of extra Perk Points, say 25 or even 50 if you would like to make this system feel very costly to use. Then, the player may select, from a list of all available Overclocks, one Overclock to immediately obtain.
I feel like this helps in both, giving the Perk system a reason to continue gathering stars even after all perks are obtained, and also a way for Players to obtain certain Overclocks that drastically change weapons, sometimes deemed by the community as very necessary, such as RJ-250 for Engineer's Grenade Launcher"

Turret Arc changes (stubby unstable OC)
What it does for context:
"Use the gemini turrets as nodes in an electric arc. Zap! The downside is less ammo and a slower rate of fire."

Shooting a turrent electrically charges it, electrifying and damaging anything nearby
If two electrically charged turrets have line of sight of eachother, they create an electric line between eachother

This sounds great on paper, but has TONS of issues:

Charged sentry's and the electric arc will slow and hurt you, so if you want to reload your sentry then you have to either take the damage or wait for it to end.
Electric current also hurts DORETTA (WHAT THE FUCK)
The current does terrible damage
You're already managing the placement and ammo of both sentries, and now you have to shoot them every 10s or so to maintain the arc

Changes:

Doesn't harm the engineer, doretta or teammates anymore.
The electric arc lasts forever until either sentry runs out of ammo.
Heavily increase electric arc damage.

These fix the annoyances, but also make the engineer maintain their sentries more. The overclock seems like it's intended for Engineer to place their sentries in choke points and therefore be more aggressive, so I think a damage increase to the arc would be fair

Going kind of from Azul, I feel like perk points should be able to be spent on crafting materials in a shop instead of overclocks. While the overclock grind is annoying, it would remove the fun out of finally getting fat boy and it would make people just grind perk points to get fat boy and hyper propellant first. Sure, you do run out of perks maybe 150 hours into the game but I think if you could buy overclocks with perk points at least make it like the machine events, where you can choose between 3 classes with cosmetic or weapon overclocks.

Game mode where there is some kind of massive glyphid (like a fully grown dread) that needs killing.There would be 4 sites where you need to activate 4 mechs that correspond to each of the classes and each one would have some sort of ability relating to it

Driller: flamethrower arm, drill arm, and c4 somewhere
Scout: shotgun arm, grapple gun arm, and flashbang(?)
Gunner: gun arm, shield arm, and can cling to walls
Engineer: grenade launcher arm, turret shoulder, and creates platforms

The cave generation would have a starting room with gold and a little Nitra, then lead to a small chamber with four paths that lead to each Mech. After all mechs are awake, a huge blast door opens and a massive dreadnought cocoon is behind it, in the middle of a huge arena. After it is popped, the boss dread king appears.

The full dread is about twice as big as each Mech and has a multitude of attacks: flame breath, summon swarm, rock bomb, pretty much all the already existing attacks but Kaiju level epicness.

The mechs have self-repair systems, but it takes time to regenerate. There are periodic free supply drops to reload the mechs.

Close to the end of the fight, the Dread King releases a huge explosion and falls to the ground. The explosion destroys the mechs but not the dwarves, and they have to fend off waves of glyphids until a drop pod arrives to squish the Dread King and extract everyone.

Dwarf lines
in mech “Swanky!” “Ooh, I like that!”
shooting weapons “AHAHAHA!!!” “Whooo! Squishin’ glyphids!”
seeing Dread King “Holee...” “I didn’t know this was what I signed up for!”

Mission control lines:
mission start “Alright, team. There’s a fully grown dreadnought in there, and we selected you because of your sheer prowess on the field. Find the mechs and power them up, you’re going to need them.”
opening blast doors “Alright, this is it. Be careful, team.”
drop pod incoming “Great job, team! Hold out till we can get the pod to you!”

A mission type similar to Deep Dives and Elite Deep Dives, called Boss Rush. It consists of 3 missions (Escort Mission, Kill Dreadnoughts & Industrial sabotage; In a random order) Where if you complete each mission in a set period of time you get varying rewards (e.g. > 40 you get a blank core, < 30 you get a cosmetic core, and < 20 you get an overclock) and bonus rewards depending on how long the entire Boss Rush took (e.g. >1h no reward, < 1h a blank core, or like a miscellaneous error cube). They could have modifiers too, For the Elite version, e.g. lethal enemies for the Kill Dreadnought missions. The missions are set on difficulty type, they dont scale (e.g. regular Boss Rush would be haz level 4, while Elite Boss Rush would be hazz 5; spanning across all 3 missions for both versions).
This could work well for future mission types, if GSG are planning on adding more boss-type missions.

Drunken Mishap
An Easter egg.

get drunk at the station. A threshold for this would be nice. As in you need to be very drunk or almost full drunk for this to activate.
Start a Deep Dive or Elite Deep Dive.
When you reach the 3rd level on the Deep Dive, your dwarf will drunkenly continue
A 4th level will begin. Mission Control will be mad, but the mission will go on.

This sounds like a funny Easter egg to run into by chance or by knowing it beforehand. I believe not only would it be in character for DRG but it would also be useful to players who know of its existence!

Aside from being a funny Easter egg, if the player is willing to take up the challenge they could end up finding more on the 4th level.
The difficulty of the first 3 levels would be increased because of your drunk dwarf. And if you successfully make it to the 4th level you have yet another chance at findings special events!

This would be a very funny and on brand Easter Egg to stumble upon when trying to do Deep Dives drunk, and would not only add a new level of challenge to complete in this game mode, but would also increase the chances of finding events!

Glyphid Dreadnaught Idea - Glyphid Caesar Detonator

Basically a Bulk Detonator on steroids, this would be an add-on to the Dreadnaught roster. This version would have even more health and two extra boils (weak points) totally five, and when it dies it would make an explosive radius significantly bigger than the regular Bulk Detonator. During the battle you would see a consistent steam on regular exploders to force dwarfs to be on the move similar to an exploder infestation (it would not change the amount of exploders that are spawned on an exploder infestation.)

At the very beginning it will cry (similar to a Hiveguard) spawning five of Glyphid Guard Exploders (a cross between an exploder and a guard) being about the size of a Glyphid Praetorian, similarly everything a boil is broken it will cry and five more Glyphid Guard Exploder will spawn. Passively during the fight it will shoot out mini explosive spores that will explode when a dwarf goes near it (it would be at a similar pace to how the Rockpox corrupter shoots out spores)

The reason I feel this is necessary is because it completes the Exploder/Detonator tree, with the Guard Exploder being the crucial connection between the Exploder and the Detonator as well as capping off the Evolution of the Detonator.

I hope you dwarves like my Glyphid Dreadnaught concept, and always remember to Rock and Stone!

Q.O.L. Suggestion: On the loading screen where the player(s) are loading into the mission there should be a "Cancel" option in one of the corners as a way to abort the player to the lobby.

That way if there is a issue with the loading screen being either stuck or taking too long the player will be able to back out without the hassle of having to close out of the whole game & starting back up again.

A variation of the brood nexus that would be less common, but more powerful;Here's the idea. Unlike the regular brood nexus, this wouldn't just be able to spawn swarmers. On map creation, it would choose a random medium sized enemy to replicate. Replicated enemies would have worse stats (health, damage,speed) and yellow armour with the prefix "Replicated" in front of they're name. This brood nexus would not release enemies on death and would spawn enemies at a slower rate. Examples of enemies that can be replicated: glyphid grunt, Mactera spawn, q'ronar youngling.

Mission Control voice line: "Brace yourselves for impact! We've detected a massive swarm on collision course!" should be nixed.
Reason: It creates confusion with the ongoing Rockpox. It sounds like he's calling out a Rockpox Meteor or Meteor Storm, and if you miss the 'swarm' line, you're going to be reacting to the wrong threat (seeking cover from meteor impacts and probably sprinting straight into the horde.)

gunner primary that's some kind of machine gun with a single barrel (m2 browning or something similiar), with no delay before firing and no benefit to firing for a long time, and has a magazine and reload (like the thunderhead/missile launcher)

if you hold down the reload key with it out, you deploy a bipod that makes it more accurate and possibly gives a small boost to fire rate/damage. i know bipods dont usually reach to head height but there could be tiny rocket engines or something attached to the bottoms of the bipod to let it hover. also deploying the bipod locks you in place and changes the viewmodel so it looks like you're staring down the ironsights. to undeploy the bipod just switch to any other weapon

An idea for a Machine Event: similar to the Refinery Mission and the Rock Cracker Event it would be a Miniature Morkite Refinery with 2-4 Mini Pumps over Morkite Wells that need to be squeezed dry. Once the key has been put in, the Mini Refinery will unfold and reveal small pipes that need to be connected to the Pumps. Once the pumps are connected, then the Batteries are revealed, inserting them starts the Pumps and begins the event. Unlike the Refinery Mission, the Mini Pumps will need to be protected and maintained since the Mini Refinery only has so many minutes of Battery Life/Time before it shuts down. If the Refinery runs out of Battery/Time before being filled, the event fails. If filled before the Timer/Battery runs out, the Mission succeeds, the Liquid Morkite is Rocketed to Orbit, and the Core Infuser is Activated! *The Mini Pumps are much faster than their larger counterparts, but are more prone to taking damage like the Rock Crackers.

Season pass
Increase the amount of credits gained from the post level 100 season pass. 500 credits is basically nothing as you can get 100's of thousands of credits in the time it takes to get 10 thousand credits from the season pass. You could make it give random materials, as credits aren't usually an issue after you reach level 100.

Upgrade terminal
It would be nice if you made the flares upgradable, they are in the equipment terminal and it kinda seems like they are just there to fill the gap, so if you could make flares upgradable or replace it with another item like the terrain scanner and make that have upgrades, or even different versions, like the grenades, that would be nice.

Headlamp
Make turning the headlamp off have a use, you could make an enemy that interacts with it or gets aggressive when its on, but it would have to be an enemy that is found in large swarms and has a lot of health, otherwise a driller would walk up to it with a c4 and kill the whole swarm.

We already got jetty boots in missions, but I would love to have more things that can spawn and give us something that benefits us for the mission, like a piece of dwarven armour that replenishes your active perks or gives you a random one for free, or a resource bag buried in the ground full of nitra and minerals.

For plats some could be simple elemental modifier that causes damage to some of the hoxes fauna that walk on them, like freeze for example, for the zipline simply adding a high speed overclock that makes you go mach 10 but doesnt stop when it reaches the end, for grapple it could be something similar, or change its utility to be like a whip or instead of instantly dragging you it would start dragging you slower but allow for movement control from side to side, and for the drills something like when you use the reload key it does a dash foward using 2L of fuel but mining everything on the way

i know overclocks are probably not something on the table atm, but ive got two idea for my favorite engineer primary, the lok-1 , and figure i might as well get them outta my head.

unstable overclock: "more gun"
"tired of having to figure out the odd angles of automatic targeting? look no further! the engineer has added an ai killswitch to his rifle which lets him disable the automatic targeting for full auto fun and devastation!"

rocknstone holding down r for approx two seconds toggles the automatic targeting on or off depending on its current state
small dmg bonus when full auto manual fire is active (+2)
tothebone utterly gimps ALL automatic targeting stats by 60% (max targets, target acquire speed, rof when firing while locked, etc)

balanced overclock: "less gun, more brain"

"who wouldve thought you could make your smart rifle even smarter? this additional piece of hardwear lets you swap between targeting modes, letting you pick and choose what targets you want to hit in a crowd, finally taking some control back from the ai!"

rocknstone holding down r for approx 2 seconds will swap your rifles target priority systems between big and medium targets or small ones
minor bonus's applied depending on which mode is being used (2 additional locks for small, faster target aquire rate for medium to large)
tothebone new tech takes up space in the gun, resulting in a slight damage and magazine size penalty (-5 rounds in magazine, -2 damage)

i think the most important parts of these overclocks that could be used in future ones (even if these two are never added) is the idea of mode swapping via holding down the reload key.
this would give players more options and choices to make during combat to fit whatever situation they are in, and could lead to some really creative OC's.

Rather than give us Blank Matrix Cores when we run out of Overclocks to unlock during Deep Dives, Forge Mastery, Matrix Core Assignments, etc. Give us another Cosmetic Matrix Core.
With the spawn rates of machine events, just giving out another Blank just saturates the inventory with ones that will never be used. So I think it's better to just give us another cosmetic.

A new event in the caves. Unofficially called the leaf lover bulb by the dwarves, this device was sent down here by someone else, theorized to be the same people that dwarves call leaf lovers. This structure would be similar to the prospector, luring creatures towards it, scanning them and then letting out a fear attack. Interacting with the sphere would let you hack it giving a bunch of random minerals and beer hops ranging from gold to boolo caps. Also on successfully hacking it, a message would play looking for sentient life before the machine dies. My reasoning for this event is to make it feel like there are more people in the drg universe apart from deep rock galactic and the rivals. I think that elves would care more the life than the minerals.

i know plenty of people have said it before, but most people who suggest it dont really go into more detail than "radioactive bulk detonator", and leave it at that. so this will be my personal attempt to add some more details and interest to this idea.

"i dont know what the hell is coming your way miners, but its big, its moving, and its putting off enough radiation that its interfering with our comms. dig in and fight, run for your lives, or prepare for a swift and painful trip to an early grave"

exclusive to the radioactive exclusion zone, this radioactive bulk detonator wouldnt be a simple slight upgrade, but a terror on the level of a dreadnought bossfight, healthbar included.

main features include:

20% more health than a normal bulk
25%-50% larger than the average bulk
swarms are disabled during a fight with this monster
swollen body constantly pulses like it could go critical at any moment (ie, it swells and deflates a lil bit similar to the normal bulk death animation as it walks around)
further signs of grotesque mutations
as rare as a dreadnought encounter

abilities include:

radiation leak: upon reaching half health, the Rbulk gains a radioactive aura as large as its attack radius
any bugs around it will immediately run from it in fear, regardless of their fear resistance
death explosion is 15% larger and leaves a radioactive field for 15 seconds (no sacs though)
-attack inflicts radiation damage instead of fire
15% slower movement speed, but much less impacted by slowdown effects in general

i feel making this encounter a bossfight instead of having it as a random spawn would fit more lore wise. bulks are rare because its rare for an exploder to live long enough to become one, so it stands to reason one being constantly exposed to radioactivity would be even less likely to live long enough to become an Rbulk.

i do think just calling it a "radioactive bulk" is a bit plain, so some names would be nice,
"karl's bane" for example

Add a demo system we can opt into that takes missions we've had and makes them replayable like how tf2 demo recordings work, where what's recorded are the packets and stuff which is really light on memory. That way modders can create mods that take these demos and do a lot more with them, that the devs can look at these mods and use them as inspiration and groundwork for an advanced and super useful built-in replay system to create our own cinematics!

After playing season 4 for a while here are some recommendations i have come up with to improve the recent additions, i love the ideas behind them but they need more work.
–Rock-Pox Rework

Make poxxed enemies take more body damage for each blister removed
Rework plague buildup and effects
Restrict harold from running away
Make the plague hearts and meteorites have a chance to give crafting materials or reveal a cargo-crate/lost helmet cashe
-reasoning it is not fun rotating around a pox enemy to find a blister and in some cases with the infected breeder and bomber it's downright impossible. For rok-pox buildup its not fun to mash keys and some people have disabilities that make it difficult for them. Rock-pox instantly cracking your shields makes it a guaranteed death way too often especially in solo or higher hazard play with how fast the buildup is.
Adding more randomized rewards to the plaguehearts would give a people a reason to do the events after completing the season pass and potentially after the season is over, adding cargo-crate/lost helmet cashes drops to them would help combat the absurd amount of bloat for the cosmetic pools and make them less frustrating to grind for

-Stingtail rework

Reduce health by 20% or at the very least make their armor medium again
Add a glowing weakspot on their tail/grabber (maybe allow the tail to get broken off)
Allow air control after being grabbed
Add a fall damage cap after a player gets grabbed
-reasoning: the enemy is too tanky and can just instakill you with fall damage consistently with bad rng. their lack of an immediately accessible weakspost makes them uninteresting to fight and hard to identify in the dark which is a huge problem for such a disruptive enemy
all its issues are extremely noticeable and frustrating on higher hazards

Slight rework to bezerker:

-make the dwarves say a funny voice line/war cry when activated

-rework activation inputs, I hate accidentally triggering it

-75% damage resistance for the duration of the perk, but weapons do next to no damage, just enough to kill grunts and swarmers.
( so people wouldn't abuse the perk for dmg resistance)

-1.5x power attack damage

-Slightly longer cooldown as the perk would be very op

-give an extra oompf to each pickaxe swing

New Engineer Grenade: Re-Atomization Field Generator

A grenade which when thrown generates a temporary field just like IFG, increases damage vulnerability by 10% to bugs within but no slow, except it mainly functions similarly to Railgun Reatomizer. If you throw it on an enemy on fire, it will set all enemies who enter/was caught in the blast on fire. If theres one enemy who is electrified.. apply electricity as well. One is frozen, also freeze all enemies, and apply tempshock if theres an instance of fire too. High potential for status combos

For each unique status caught in the initial blast it increases the lingering aoe radius a little extra, so if youre timing it at a group of bugs with many statuses, it can be very effective at spreading statuses.

Advantages:

High potential if you use it at the right time
2 second lingering
Can be very effective with fire + ice comps to tempshock a large area
Disadvantages:
Ineffective without status effects. But it still does damage vulnerability
Only Dot, doesnt do much against high HP bugs aside from damage vulnerability
Not a good panic button, requires setup

Given Engineers mad scientist character, itd fit to have s grenade which creates a sadistic status cocktail of chaos. It could also fit Driller or Scout, not sure which is better, but the reatomizer oc is unique so It'd be cool to see more instances it of it drillchamp engi

When a player joins a solo mission, instead of exploding Bosco should fall from the sky and turn into a heavy object similar to dorreta that can be rescued and brought into the pod. I find it heartbreaking that Bosco has to die every time I'm waiting for my friends to join. Maybe compliment this with a voiceline when you rescue him:
"You ain't going anywhere you flying tincan"
"You may not be a dwarf, but we ain't leaving you behind"
"Just returning the favour Bosco"

Nobody usually reads the message tags under public lobbies (especially not greenbeards (or me)) so when one joins my mission and does something stupid like prematurely popping a cocoon/starting an uplink only to die straight away, I usually just kick them cause I ain't dealing with a two player scaled hazard 5 dreadnought/swarm

Can we do something about the ridiculous amount of bloat in the cargo crate drops? considering their spawns are rare enough already it makes no sense to have such a small chance at getting something like a framework for a weapon you use

Source: I have almost 450 hours in this game and still haven't gotten a single non dlc/seasonal framework for the m1000

Suggested solutions:
When unlocking a framework for a class, it will unlock it for all of that class's weapons in that slot
(so unlocking builder's choice for gunner's minigun would unlock it for the hurricane and thunderhead as well)

Unlocking a victory move unlocks it for all classes instead of one at a time (these are the worst offenders for bloating the pool, and I can't think of a single person who's actually excited to get a victory move)

#

also maybe ease up on the slowmode for #suggestion-discussion, considering it is specifically a channel for discussing things, and the fact you can barely say anything in it is kinda counterintuitive

I've got an idea for a potential season. Space Pirates. Space Pirates have become active in the area. They're attacking and robbing DRG transport ships hauling away minerals. And also using Hoxxes to store their hoards of loot. Management has altered miner contracts to make them deal with the Pirates instead of spending more money to hire someone else to do it. This will introduce a new type of enemy: space pirates. Seasonal items to acquire could be classical pirate cosmetic items like a pirate hat and pirate beards. Beards that look like they're smoldering or burning. DLC could be space pirate outfits and weapon skins. All this would tie into Ghost Ship Games aesthetic. Dwarves and Pirates also share a lot of of traits and qualities. Beards, a love of gold and precious gems and minerals, a love of beer/grog, are very rowdy and revelrous, and have a love for taming wildlife to have as pets. New features to the game could be customizing the M.U.L.E. with various skins and even the drop pod maybe. This is all I could think of.

Add "rare" wildlife interactions and behavior that can happen if the fauna hasn't been alerted to dwarf presence yet (or if it doesn't care about you).
Examples: a cave leech grabbing and eating a glyphid grunt, medium glyphids occasionally gathering at heat vents leading up to a blizzard, creatures eating fruit or fungus, a mactera trying to eat a wasp nest, some of the harmless flying bugs chasing each other, 2+ stingtails passing a gunkseed between each other (a game of reverse toss, or an actual tug of war). If a mission has a fester flea secondary objective, then if a septid spreader does its business (as an unalerted event, not as an attack) and then there is a chance for a single flea to land on its poo.
The purpose would be to make more of Hoxxes' fauna feel like it exists on its own, outside of the singular purpose of fighting dwarves.

New biome: Succinite grots

"A truly beautiful place, and if you want to put some gold in your pocket, this region of Hoxxes is for you!
However, do not let this place fool you, for getting into ditches here is easier than finding riches for yourself.
Also keep out if you don't like the color yellow. I mean seriously. Literally everything here is yellow."

Materials:
Frequent - Magnite
Rare - Bismor

Special biome effects:
Gold spawn is increased by 40%
Spawn chance of the compressed gold is increased by 20%
Red sugar spawn is decreased by 90%
All enemies have a yellowish tint that helps them to hide in the environment.

Biome generations:
Golden Glyphid Praetorian - Harder to kill, has more armor, but slower than a regular praetorian.
Has a 60% chance to spawn instead of compressed gold,
so when the dwarve will find the golden wall markings and try to find compressed gold there, he will find danger instead of gold!
Drops compressed gold when killed.

Golden Glyphid Swarmer - Much faster than a regular swarmer.
Has a 20% chance to spawn as a group of 6-12 golden swarmers, inside the gold chunk after the dwarve will try to dig it.
Drops 2 gold when killed.

Hazards:
"Golden" labyrinths - Generated very frequently, they and cause a lot of trouble, since they have very long and confusing paths.
Looks like the whole budget of DRG, but in reality, its just a labyrinth made out of useless crystals that only LOOKS like gold.

Fracture pits - They are like the crevasses from the glacial strata, but its harder to locate them.
And instead of having a depth of a regular crevasse. It straight up sends you to the next layer of the cave. Yep, they are THAT deep.

Corridor landfalls - sometimes instead of compacted dirt, you will find completely clear ways into the next cave!
But a bit of movement will cause a large amount of rock formations completely block the way, so watch out for that during a swarm.

A group of new enemies in the realm of parasites dubbed the Vrykola parasite. Here's what I'm thinking:

Vrykola Gas Pot: Essentially a type of Glyphid Exploder, when it explodes near you, the screen goes a hazy purple and you hear that noise that people seem to associate with an infection (the gas contains microscopic parasites.) It doesn't do much other than disorient the player quite a bit.
Vrykola-infected Mine: DRG mining explosives that are in a way, haunted by a parasitic membrane. It does the same as the gas pot but is buffed with extra damage, yet nerfed with 0 mobility, they spawn in clusters like the exploding plant things on some levels.
Vrykola-infected Mining Drill: DRG Laser equipment that is also, in a way, haunted by a parasitic membrane. It does not cause the hazy thing like the other two, trading it in for increased damage but also having no mobility.
Vrykola Spitter: Like a combination of the Acid/Web/Rockpox Spitters and Cave Leeches but causes the haze effect, increased haziness for decreased damage
Vrykola Spore Web: The webs from some caves but the same color as the purple haze, no damage or mobility but causes the longest haze effect
Vrykola Infector: This is one of the more dangerous ones. Essentially a dwarf infected with a large tentacled Vrykola parasite. The loadout and cosmetics could be randomized. You can eitehr kill the dwarf or go the extra mile to put down the parasite. If the dwarf is killed the parasite will hunt the players, if the parasite is killed the Dwarf goes down and you call in a rescue pod that they take back into orbit.

Shooting Range to test your weapon loadout before going into a mission, and then realizing your loadout is not working well

storm marten Sep 18, 2023, 6:36 AM

#

Please add a basic callout system that would work somewhat seamlessly with the laser designator. Many times I'm trying to get the attention of my fellow dwarves and I try pinging them but they're too slippery so I keep pinging past them and they keep going over there like I was telling them to go there, but no I just wanted their attention.

Press the voice-command button, and you have 4 options; 1 thru 4. One for each dwarf. Pressing the corresponding dwarf's number will call out their class, and you'll be given options for their abilities and weapons, although perhaps just abilities. So for example my dwarf when selecting the engineer would be like "HEY ENGI!" - "WE NEED A PLATFORM!" - use laser pointer - "RIGHT HERE!"

I don't want it to replace the laser pointer or using X to get the attention of your dwarves, so I think these voice commands should be able to be used in tandem. So I was thinking of a voice-command-confirmation thing where it's like `select dwarf - select weapon/ability - confirm and say voicelines— (OR) use pointer (OR) press X then confirm and say corresponding voicelines

I feel that the fungus bogs is hideous enough to have its own variants of enemies.

Corrosive Praetorian
Instead of acid spit, this Praetorian spits globs of sludge similar to that of a septic spreader. On death, sludge bursts out of the Praetorians abdomen. 30% resistance to poison. I think you can get the idea, more heavy poison.

Corrosive mactera spawn
Spits a glob of sludge similar to that of a goo bomber. It flies slower, but has inherited the tanky build of its sludge dropping cousins. Drops a heavy glob of sludge on death.

I know this has been suggested a million times already, but please just give rocket barrage a small buff. I don't even have a problem with the ammo, it's just the fact that the damage penalty is so harsh, especially when you consider the fact that you don't get control over the rockets. As I said, the buff doesn't even have to change tohe overclock, just reduce the direct damage and area damage penalties by 1-2 each. It's a really cool and fun overclock concept that has so much potential, but right now it just feels like I'm launching peas at the bugs and hoping something dies.

Since the rockpox buildup for popping a blister at close range was only done so that the drills couldn't kill rockpox bugs for free, could we make it so it only does that when popping them with melee?

during rockpox swarms it can already be a bit difficult to keep distance since they're so tanky, and them getting you up past half rockpox just for shooting them is insult to injury

This has probably already been suggested, but:

A future season not focused on the arrival of some new threat to Hoxxes, but the discovery of dangers that were already there, we just didn't dig deep enough to encounter them.

Basically a whole season centred around the introduction of new hostile wildlife. Probably including a new area and a Heartstone/Caretaker tier Glyphid with its own mission type.

The existing season threats, Rivals and Rockpox, are both fellow invaders, so it would be cool to see the planet fight back.

anomaly/mutator- RAPID MITOSIS
"A strange mutation in the gene pool of this area has given enemies the ability to reproduce via mitosis. This has led to an exponential population bloom, but the cloned nature of these offspring has caused them to be far weaker than regular counterparts."

I've had an idea with a friend of mine while we were gaming once, it's mostly while we were talking about Steeve and how Dwarves would say "If only bugs were allowed on the Space Rig", and it's something we think a lot of players would really like and would enjoy to use, I personally like to call it the "Domestic Glyphid License".

Mission Control
"With all the letter's and complaints employees have sent in about some bug they named "Steeve?" or whatever its called, Management decided take this into account and allow Dwarves who prove themselves the top of Beast-tamers to have a Domestic Glyphid License, you can find the Domesticated Glyphids Quarters near your own personal Quarters so you can see you personal little beasts, just try not to lose your hand trying to pet them too much"

Domestic Glyphid Quarters
A room that you could get to while either going towards the Glory Hall where you get Promotions, it has pens and some of the service Bosco's floatin' around in the room and some types of the glyphids in pens and chilling and some still in pens behind shields cause some are still not fully tamed, and there's a terminal where you can select which glyphid you want to bring to missions with you, only allowing 1 glyphid much like having a Bosco with you and can do things to help like Bosco.

Special things in the DGQ
One things I REALLY loved the idea to do, was that there is a specific Glyphid pen where there is lil Glyphid hatchlings where your dwarf can pick them up and interact with them maybe saying stuff like "Finally! we can have them in the Space Rig and they are so cute!", and you can put them down where ever and watch them crawl around in the Space Rig pet them pick them up, and when you are at the same terminal you can toggle a button to allow a Glyphid hatchling to meet you in your personal room and be excited to see you come back, and if you fail missions it will meet you in the med bay worried about you.

Kinds of Domestic Glyphids
Imma try to list the Glyphids you could have from the Terminal:

Level 1 license
-Grunt Glyphid
-Guard Glyphid
-Slasher Glyphid
They would act the same as usual Steeve as you tamed them in mission.
Level 2 license
-Web Spitter Glyphid
-Acid Spitter Glyphid
Same as default glyphids in mission.
Level 3 license
-Warden Glyphid
This can be a smaller variant of the wild warden, as it likes to stick by other Dwarves and ally tamed Steeve's in mission.
-Stingtail Glyphid
Probably acts the same as usual wild Stingtails, however can act like a mobile Scout grappling hook, as the Dwarf can ride it and use the tail to get to higher points, but doing it will make the Stingtail move slower.
-Exploder Glyphid
I'm not completely sure on this one, its a bit of a wild card, but i believe it can work like a normal Grunt Glyphid but it can occasionally Explode when it enters combat and it sets itself on a cooldown before it does again.
Level 4 license
-Praetorian Glyphid
I know how it sounds, a whole Praetorian, whoever, this is a Domestic one so it would be much smaller maybe half the size of the wild Praetorian and not as powerful as them.
-Septic Spreader Glyphid
One I'm still not too sure how much to do with this Glyphid, but I really like the idea that you can custom the color of the Spreaders goop.

Tier 1 Upgrades
-Sharpen Claws - Increased damage
-Harden Exoskeleton - Increase damage resistence
-Tough Hide - Increase Health
-Nimble Limbs - Increase movement speed

Tier 2 Upgrades
-Blunt Aggression - Chance to break armor
-Hound - Can find and collect burried minerals
-Furious - Chance to go into a rage, increasing all stats for short time

Tier 3 Upgrades
-Alert Roar - Makes nearby enemies target Glyphid more
-Saviour - Can revive the Dwarf once per mission

Tier 4 Upgrades
-Radiated - Gives Glyphid natural Radiation ability and resistence
-Frozen - Gives Glyphid natural Ice ability and resistence
-Scorched - Gives Glyphid natural Fire ability and resistence

I would suggest the possibility to not being kicked from a game when you lag out, even if you're not the host, being able to finish the mission alone.
Because with an unstable internet connection, even if it's good most of the time, you can't play online, except if you accept the risk of losing 30 mins of your time over and over again having to redo everything every time.
No connection anymore ? Just finish solo. That's it.
That would make my life and probably other's a lot better

A turret mod idea
I know we have the Gemini and the single turret that does decent damage but i was thinking of making a more supportive turret upgrade that you can choose from.
Idk on the numbers so i'm just gonna jot some down that might make sense. This is idea is mostly a concept that i would like to get out there.
Probs very unbalanced at the moment.

#Bulkhead#
-Dwarves within 5 metres of this turret receive a 25% damage reduction from ranged attacks
-While there is a big threat or multiple small ones the turret enters guardian mode taking 2 seconds, putting up a small shield that enemies can enter, increasing the damage reduction to 35% and now includes melee attacks.
-The turrets Rate of fire is decreased significantly (by 60%??) while in guardian mode and now targets the biggest threat shooting harder than before (shots can now stun targets for 3secs at a 10% chance)
-Enemies within 3 metres of the turret are slowed by 20%

-Rate of fire in standard mode is decreased by 20%
-Damage is decreased by 4 per shot
-Takes 2 extra seconds to be built
-Has 20% less ammo capacity and mag size

Big threats being slashers, praetorians, Acid spitters, ect.
Small threats being guards, grunts, swarmers, ect.

Some new primary ideas, one for each class:

Gunner:
It aint a gun if it dont weigh at least one hundred pounds! But what if thunderhead and leadstorm had twin babies that each weighed 50 pounds? Dual weild drum mag LMGs with optional maniacle laughter while firing. Nothing spectacularly new mechanically, but the fun factor would be big for a lot of people.

Engineer:
We've reprogrammed swarmer drones and worked some magic with omuran heartstones. Maybe we could repurpose a rival tech burster turret! Functions similarly to the enemy burster turrets, but turned into rifle form with slightly faster projectiles. Maybe it would be just another smg primary for engi, but I feel like it would be different enough from his other 2 options to be interesting.

Driller:
Something I've posted before but reposting here anyways because I love it so much. Tesla coil gun. Fires an arc to the closest bug within similar range of drillers other primaries, and within the target reticule, which arcs to other bugs dealing electric dps and causing electric status as well. Fits drillers primary theme of close range, aoe, elemental crowd control

Scout:
Haven't thought this one through much because he's my least played, but a railgun that functions like the coilgun in rifle form would be cool. Decent at crowds but not the best, just like other scout primaries. Good single target like other scout primaries.

new beer probably

LABOURER'S LAGER
"The drink of the blue collar. The nectar of the overtime worker. The blissful relief of the true miner. Served colder than the Glacial Strata, the icy smooth brew flushes through your veins, leaving you invigorated and ready to work unlike ever before."

a possible replacement to dark morkite, labourer's lager boosts most main objectives rather than only affecting morkite missions

increased morkite gain on mining expedition
increased repair speed on salvage operation and escort duty
increased hack speed against patrol bots and for hack-c for industrial sabotage (maybe?)
increased dreadnought damage on elimination (maybe?)

dark morkite could be turned into a normal craftable beer that causes whoever drinks it to emit an explosion of morkite chunks which disappear shortly after (like a lootbug)

Mutator: EBONITE BOOM
The ebonite bugs have a chance to spawn throughout the mission and you have to kill a certain amount as another primary objective, plus there is some ebonite on the walls or something. I think it would be fun to have ebonite feel like an actual threat instead of a rare four bug mutation.
Mutator: TRITILYTE SUPERDEPOSIT
A mission where veins of tritilite can appear, and all dwarves are equipped with a nanite Pickaxe in the sixth weapon slot or something.
I think having ebonite, kursite, and tritilite be more than a rare novelty would be interesting, and it would make Hoxxes feel more varied and dangerous.

vague crown Sep 19, 2023, 3:19 PM

#

To the people who Request More melee combat/new melee combat oriented class, I have one word for you:

driller Driller

Let me explain, while I do think that melee combat would be cool, it already exists to an extent in the form of driller's drills, fortunately, this thing existing inside my calcium sphere brewed up another idea, a new last-tier mod for the drills.

I Don't know what to call it, But while you are grounded and drilling, pressing M2 will make the driller slam his drills into the ground, creating a decently sized shockwave with no fall-off, and does slightly more damage than the health a 4 player haz 5 grunt has. This will consume 4 ammo, and overheat the drills immediately after usage, this can only be used while the drills are available to be used (aka not overheated or out of ammo).

This way, more melee combat is added (like plenty of you asked) without any need of adding a new class and skewing the balance between them. On top of this, cryo drilling might become stronger, which I think is a big plus since the cryo cannon is largely considered driller's worst primary at the moment.

Most objectives focus on keeping the team together (or if not, following a fairly linear path) so that objectives can be defended easier. Rival tech missions branch for hacking objectives, but there's no incentive to split.

Making two easier objectives that require simultaneous progress would be a great way to diversify gameplay (like one team pumping in water and another pumping out morkite to prevent cave collapse or eliminating a rockpox plague that regenerates if you don't knock out both quickly). Alternatively, a synchronization survey mission could involve all team members to split for a brief time.

These might have to be optional objectives to accomodate every team size or odd team sizes if you don't want to exclude solo players from missions, but I'd love more functional diversity in the game.

rockpox grenade

since some weapons like wave cooker, breach cutter, boomstick and more can kill rockpox enemies extreamly quickly i would'nt be suprised if R&D would try to weaponize it

through gene manipulation R&D was able to produce a strand of infertile rockpox, and they put it into a grenade

this grenade explodes upon contact and instantly infects glyphids in close range, giving them the usual weakpoint blisters but without making the flesh tough (so hitting normal weakpoints or the body still deals normal damage)
it is safe to use since this rockpox cant infect the ground or dwarfs anymore

i would give it to driller since he can then use his drills on them (and it fits his war crime weapons as well)

Some of my loadouts are geared towards specific mission types or specific hazards. Getting all of the icons for each hazard and each mission type available to be assigned to load out slots would be a very simple QoL/UI improvement (Eg, I have a mactera laodout for my Driller. It would be cool to have the mactera plague icon to assign to that load out slot instead of using the cold icon for two different loadouts)

Also more load out slots, or even the ability to just add or delete a load out slot would be cool. Not everyone needs 6 loadout slots, and some people could use more than 6.

“Hello miners, another mining team is in a nearby cavern attempting to mine out some valuable resources, we need you to go in and distract the locals, (minimum time of 5 minutes?) anything past that time you can give them warrants a bonus. Good luck miners, try and survive”
This mission is basically just a deploy and survive for as long as possible, miners staying longer will face increasingly hard odds at the reward of increasing their credit payout, obviously with massive cave generation miners are bound to find goodies for themselves
This provides a refreshing new mission type that can be used to test weapons, augments and abilities of all classes as well as rockin in stone to the bone!

It strikes me as odd how a calm farming game such as Stardew Valley has an Auto-Run option in controls, but a fast-paced combat game such as DRG does not. Please add this soon, possibly even in the next minor patch. It would be much appreciated.

Mission Type Concept: Lootbug Wrangling

The Higher-Ups at DRG have realized the usefulness of Lootbugs, and want to experiment on them. Your goal is to drop into their breeding grounds and wrangle as many as necessary to a special pod that would fall in shortly after the Drop Pod.

Similar to Point Extraction and On-Site Refining, you would need to deposit here instead of at the MULE. Lootbugs in this mission would still be able to die, hut passively spawn so you can never fail. To perform the wrangling of Lootbugs you’re given two special tools: the Grab Pack and the Fool’s Gold Sprayer.

These both take your weapons slots similar to the Lithophage Cleaning Tools. The Grab Pack lets you fire a hook to pick up Lootbugs and other Heavy Objects from a distance. If you’d rather lure the lootbugs to the Pod in mass, then you can use the Fool’s Gold Sprayer to draw them towards it. Spray some on the ground and the Lootbugs will follow it wherever you need them to go. Once you’ve gotten enough Lootbugs wrangled you can press a button to send them out of the planet for experimentation, then fend for your life until the Drop Pod arrives.

Dark Morkite should instead slightly increase the 'interaction' speed such as when repairing the Drilldozer, building a pipeline, etc. Makes a bit of sense when you have it on a Morkite Refining Op morkite and can be useful in other mission types or objectives (such as Lithophage Cracker repairs, Salvage Op, etc). It seems like Morkite is used as an energy source lore-wise, so why not have the buff beer be thematic to that as well? drillchamp 🍻 gunnergrin

I would much like to see more chat-less interaction with teammates besides the laser pointer and salute, so here's an idea:
Pressing E quickly after saluting will let the dwarf request a high-five

During solo missions, Bosco will hurry to you and high-five you (it gets lonely down there sometimes)

In missions with other people, Requesting a High-five would bring up the option to high five you back for the other dwarf(s), of course the high-five request would go down if after 5 seconds noone high-fives you.
This could come packaged with voice lines for a high-five and/or being left to dry

Potential Successful high-five lines:
"Nice one!"
"Good job lad!"
"Nicely done miner!"
"That was AWESOME!"

Potential lines for being left to dry:
"Oh come on!"
"Anyone? No? Alright..."
"I guess we get going then..."
"Another time maybe."

"Everyone agrees to say that Hoxxes is the most deadliest planet there is in the galaxy, but those who dwelve in its caves may as well find out it also can pull out one of the most morbid and unsettling of tricks, dwarf-kind has ever known.

We are lucky enough to have survivors who can attest of this peculiar encounter, and they mention how, much like the bugs, they have never ever feared for their life upon seing it. They also suffered from a case of delirium that we have never seen before, so we had to send them to the medical center for a psychotherapy. Management on the other hand, insisted that it is a waste of time, and that they were a lost cause...

The description they provided was the following: a towering angler-like creature full of teeth, using its tongue attached to the neck of the poor fellow like a puppeteer would. They said it was smart enough to make the dead dwarf use the weaponry he had on him, with deadly accuracy even. And as if it wasn't enough, severing its tongue made it grow a new one, to which this time it used on a living dwarf, using the same trick to force them into shooting their own friends. They also mention having left some of their most valued equipment during their escapade, and since it can use their own weapons against them, it does not mean anything good...

One of the folks at R&D suggested that, since the bugs are so afraid of it, one could theoretically use it as a psychological ward against potential swarms if they keep a sufficient distance. We are uncertain of this method, so he has been fired...just to make sure he doesn't get anymore funny ideas.

If even the bugs are afraid of this thing, and considering the multiple witnessings of our survivors, then it means one thing, that this...thing, whatever that is, is now considered as the most biggest threat ever discovered on Hoxxes. So, with that in mind, Management...not just Management, ANYONE actually, recommends to not engage it at all costs, and we really, REALLY mean it!"

partly inspired by the idea above but an additional suggestion for the glyphid stalker
it could reuse that one concept mineral monster briefly shown, where it'll disguise itself as a mineral vein to draw dwarves right towards itself without needing to do much work
stalker minerals lack the sheen and are smoother than true minerals, enabling the sharp eyed to discern whether its a trap or not
instead of it being just a regular special enemy the stalker could be an enemy on the horror magnitude of the detonator, but not in a way where its absurdly tanky as the detonator is
ideally it would be fragile, but its priority lies in how easily it can pick off stragglers, people advancing too far ahead or those who are careless, as well as its speed and ability to prevent itself from being hit in the first place
extremely fast, high damage but if you catch it lacking you'll kill it in no time

^this has given me a possible biome idea
some sort of artifical ecosystem/environment made during the early days of drg's takeover of hoxxes, in which they attempted to establish potentially long term mining settlements
the terrain could be some sort of plasticrete-soil mix, randomly generating derelict structures, artificial trees, abandoned machines as well as the presence of genetically modified glyphids and/or other wildlife that were intended to be used as livestock
i'd imagine it would have an overrun colony aesthetic to it, sporting vine overgrowths, artificial lighting and large rooted trees with hints of a mechanical side. terrain generation could include long, spacious tunnels reminiscent of drg's early builds, with numerous small chambers and central areas dotted about

Had an idea for a sort of firefight style defense mission that makes you defend a facility for a set amount of waves. During a lull in each wave your team would need to scavenge for nitra to keep their weapons full and you could possibly use the nitra to build/rearm turret defenses that would be on the facility. The waves would depend on the type of defense mission. Be it glyphids, rockpox glyphids or our dreaded knife eared rivals bots.

And i thought about... first, a weekly new mission type, almost like a deep dive, but for a "Hunt" something like that, where you go find a massive/giant Dreadnought that has been "Cooking" for too many time, and this being like... a really much harder battle with like, 3 bars of health that you need to for exemple shoot in specific parts that would be like weekpoints.
This enemy would be more slow but hit harder not that you need to hit just specific parts, and not only that but the cave itself being really open, not just to move but to the beast interact with the environment.

I thought about that with that dwarf speech that "it can get even bigger" or something like that when you fight dreadnoughts

deepest biome resting at -20km below the surface, unusual cave generation with incredibly steep paths a falloffs, only flora inhabiting it are small bioluminescent fungi . the stone is a brownish colour and is 3 hit. caves have stalactites of the walls and ceilings that will do bonus damage if fallen on. small tubular tunnels function simairly to morkite pipes allowing the dwarves to slide to lower levels of the cave. glyphids have grey skin and dark brown exoskeletons, a special variant of praetorian which instead of vomiting releases a cloud of black fog to drown out light sources and causes a drunken effect to the dwarves. cave sounds are almost entirely silent outside of occasional distant dripping of water. exploder variants that function similairly to the praetorian releasing the same black fog as well as making the dwarves briefly drunk and dealing less direct damage than regular exploders (feel free to expand on this also im renaming it to stalactite abyss)

"This flares could get an upgrade"

So the idea is finally upgrade those Flares with... some bit of many things!

On the first level could be like more useful on just Light, so like
X seconds buff duration / X power of the light / something like Flares can stick on surfaces

On the level two we could get like a lil bit more of those options and some a bit creative ones like...

Some area around the Flare makes Bugs try to avoid it, or... shooting flares cause a lil bit of fire, or frost, or maybe radiation (this of the flare "exploding" could be an Overclock), or something like, hold more flares at once...

Just some ideas that could potentially make the game more visible and better for some lonely miners that dont play scout, or just to make the game more visible overall drillchamp

instead of making every single rockpox enemy a praetorian that drops a gas cloud on death, make them drop plague larvae when they die instead, like the parasite mutator
reduce the amount and distance of rockpox when you pop a blister because 70% of the metre being filled just because you whacked a pox blister with a pickaxe is way too punishing
rework the rockpox effect. instead of being a reskinned frozen with damage, it could let you keep control, move and shoot, but it could steer your aim and movement, pushing you into hazardous positions and shooting your teammates like the jockey from l4d2

I had an idea, and after confirming it doesn't exist ingame yet, i figure ill suggest it here, and that idea is: an Overclock for the crisper (CRSPR flamethrower) that INCREASES the flame heat, and after doing some research on IRL flamethrowers and gas fuels, i've come up with an idea

Unstable Overclock
Name: Acetylene Fuel System
Description: Someone in R&D with some... pyromaniacal tendences decided that there wasn't a way of setting things on fire fast enough, and came up with this! Your CRSPR has been modified to use acetylene fuel, which makes you set things on fire almost instantly, and the fuel is fairly easy to find, but the complex system reduces the flow rate, since acetylene doesn't stick to anything, you no longer have any form of sticky flames, and since acetylene is most commonly used in welding torches, it has very little reach.

Buffs:
+55 Heat (direct damage only, same as how the Triple Filtered Fuel upgrade works. Takes base flamethrower up to 65 heat, 75 if you use the Triple Filtered Fuel upgrade)
+2 or 3 magazines worth of reserve fuel

Nerfs:
Sticky flame duration: ? > 0 (reduces sticky flame duration to 0, even if you use the sticky flame upgrades)
Sticky flame damage: ? > 0 (all forms of sticky flame damage is removed, although i'd assume removign sticky flame duration does this already)
Flame reach: -5m flame reach (base reach is 10m, if using the high pressure ejector upgrade, reach will go back up to the base 10m)
Flow rate: -30% (Does what oversized valves does, but backwards. If using oversized valves, flow rate will go up to 100%)

I feel that this would be welcomed in DRG as an overclock for the CRSPR, considering we have Face Melter for sheer damage output (increases damage and flow rate), and Sticky Fuel for all those napal-COUGH-I mean sticky flames enjoyers out there (increases sticky flame dps and duration), but if we want to set stuff on fire faster, all we have is the triple filtered fuel and heat radiance upgrades.

I had another idea

Unstable Overclock
Name: Liquid Nitrogen Fuel
Description: R&D came up with a fuel system for the Cryo cannon that uses Liquid Nitrogen, granting you the ability to freeze anything in a much more timely manner, and the liquid nitrogen fuel is cheap and easy to acquire thus giving you more reserve fuel, but the overall damage is reduced and the charge up time is slightly longer

Buffs:
Freezing power: +5 (takes base cryo cannon up to 13 freezing power, max you can achieve with upgrades is 15 freezing power)
Max ammo: +100

Nerfs:
Damage: -3
Charge up time: +0.4s

Call me uncreative but this is basically just my "Acetylene Fuel System" overclock for the CRSPR but for the cryo cannon

I learned that the cryo cannon only had the tuned cooler overclock, and the stronger cooling unit and supercooling mixture upgrades to increase freezing power, so I decided to research what cools stuff down fast, and liquid nitrogen does just that, so i figured "why not make an overclock that uses liquid nitrogen to increase cooling power"

please give me your thoughts and opinions on this and my Acetylene Fuel System overclocks in #suggestion-discussion and have a nice day

i think it would be nice to have a trash or recycle bin next to loyd's bar table that we can throw our empty mugs in. show loyd we care about keeping his bar clean and the mugs in circulation. would also be an opportunity for some funny voicelines.

"if it were anyone but you loyd i'd chuck this mug on the floor"

"dont say i dont love ya loyd, doing this leaflover crap"

" (whispering) between you and me loyd, im happy there isnt so much trash around anymore with the new bins. dont tell anyone"

"i wonder if i can get this in here from my pod room door?"

could make it so you actually have to chuck it in and loyd acts happy when you get it in. as an easter egg if you throw it from far enough away loyd holds up a 10 points sign he pulls up from behind the bar.

i feel the hover boots are to restricting and clunky to use, can it just be a double jump with like -at max level- a 10 second cooldown, it could brake your fall if used just before you hit the ground, have no start up lag -the time to "hold" down C- and would be easier to use being bound to the space bar and not C? with all that it would have the added benefit of giving a little extra jump height for everyone but scout.

PS. id be cool with it having no cooldown and you just needing to touch the ground again, but i could see that being busted, but 75 sec cooldown for the boots now, given what little they add to a kit -engi can fall on plat, gunner can zip, driller can drill, scout can defy all know laws of physics- its much to long a cooldown and much to cumbersome to use in the heat of combat or a slip off a ledge.

I think it's a bit weird that normal glyphids and rockpox ones don't interact with each other

I think it'd be neat if normal bugs and rockpox bugs could fight, and rockpox bugs would be able to fill up a meter on normal glyphids to effectively infect them and convert them to rockpox bugs

it might seem like it would make rockpox swarms easier at first, but if you leave the normal glyphids unattended it'll really bolster the rockpox numbers
(besides, the fact that they act all buddy buddy when the rockpox makes the glyphids live in constant agony has always struck me as really strange)

Edit: larvae should also be able to infect 1 grunt instantly, because the voice line "each larvae killed is 1 less infected glyphid" implies that they do this already

Revolver Machinegun/Cannon for Gunner. When compared to the Lead Storm Powered Minigun there's a much shorter spin-up time, lower max fire rate (2000 RPM like IRL) less of a stability slowdown when stablized, less damage (due to lower velocity due to the cylinder gap), more recoil (due to lighter weight), more ammo (due to lighter weight), better accuracy (due to the fixed barrel) overheats sooner for the same RPM (due to having only one barrel). Basically it would slot between the Minigun and the Thunderhead like it does between rotary cannons and gast guns IRL.

Ok so it didn’t let me send it last time for some reason but here:

Gunner primary: Rebar puncher

The rebar puncher is a large AoE shotgun which shoots bursts of sharp titanium and rebar. The gun itself is a huge device with three barrels, a hand brace and a large ammo box. The gun is very cylindrical in nature, similar to an RPG or the builders choice skin for the minigun. The puncher’s ammo is consisted of two parts, a box of rebar on a chain used to feed rebar into the gun, and a big tray which pops out of the side that holds special shells. The reload animation consists of both replacing the box, and haphazardly slapping shells into the tray, and pushing the tray back in.
The gun works similar to a minigun, except the rebar shot from the gun shoot out in shotgun like bursts. Rebar pierces enemies, is very short ranged and sticks in the ground. It does burn damage, and has a unique temperature per round. The temperature of the rebar starts at 2,000 degrees and deprecates by 400 degrees per second. The hotter the rebar (indicated by going from white, to yellow, to red, to black), the more burn damage it does to bugs walking over it. The gun shoots with 3 shots per second, with a burst of 8-15 rebar per second. This can be evened out with upgrades.

Overclocks:
Clean:
Atmosphere ignition: Your rebar heats up the longer it is in the air.
Titanium Maelstrom: +50% magazine capacity, +10% firerate

Balanced:
Fibreglass Insulation: Your rebar retains heat for twice as long, but deals -30% heat damage.
Volatile Titanium: A new compound infused into the rebar reacts with glyphid blood. Your rebar no longer does burn, but explodes when an enemy dies over it, causing an explosive chain reaction to all the rebar in the ground. Rebar stays in the ground for 2x longer.

Unstable:
Bubblegum coating: basically magic bullets but without aimbot and a damage increase
Cryogenic shrapnel: Targets cool down instead of heat up. Targets freeze if they stand on the shrapnel for too long, however the direct damage is reduced and your ammo is increased.
Opinions? This is just an idea for a weapon, a shrapnel shotgun would be a pretty cool concept, kind of like the scrap gun from barotrauma

A severe problem noone is talking about is season assignments ceasing to exist after the season. These assignments contain a ton of narrative direction and context through mission controls dialogue. He is the only talking npc in game, and removing these assignments removes what little story the game has. The devs need to reverse this and add back all previous story assignments as optional introductory assignments with one time higher rewards. We should not be removing the work the half of the TWO? voice actors in the game.
I feel this diminishes the game as whole, and the experience of new and veteran players alike long term. This is a problem that has severely impacted my experience in Warframe recently as there is boatloads of missing events that add context to things in game, and I don't want to see this game make the same mistake.

A magma core variant for the q'ronar shellback. "Some of the wildlife on hoxxes have learnt to master fire and the q'ronar shellback's magma variant is no different. Unlike other shellbacks, the magma variants are born in the magma core and stay in the magma core for their entire lives." While performing their rolling strike, they surround themselves with flame, heating anything in the way and breaking through thin terrain. Instead of regular acid spit, the magma shellback shoots flaming acid that creates sticky flames if they miss. Unlike other regional variants, the magma shellback wouldn't always replace regular shellbacks. Magma shellbacks would also be immune to fire damage and ignition while rolling and would also heat up very quickly from being frozen while rolling. Why add this? I feel like the q'ronar family is lacking in members. Also this variant would be more of a hard hitter than a disrupter and getting one of these on salvage operation would be quite challenging. But as I said, it would have a small chance to replace a normal shellback in the magma core.

Have enemy factions fight eachother, like Rockpox, Bugs, and Rival Bots. They'd prioritize players, but I feel like it'd be interesting to have different interactions between the different kinds of monsters. Like Turrets attacking Glyphids who get in their range to protect their territory, or bugs fighting against Rockpox almost like the planet itself fighting back.

I think it'd emphasize the whole, everyone out for themselves mentality that the game seems to buy into. The planet is protecting itself, the Rivals want control over the planet, Rockpox wants to consume everything, and DRG wants the minerals for themselves. So having them all fight eachother would be an interesting action that might lead to more tactical descisions in battle as scuffles break out.

Q'RONAR ICEBREAKER
"Much to the dismay of many, it seems like even the subzero conditions of the Glacial Strata wasn't enough to keep the Q'ronar species at bay. Although their distant relative the Shellback prefers dry, hypersaline conditions like that of the Salt Pits that facilitate the growth of their carapaces, the Icebreaker instead secretes a mix of exothermic chemicals and low-freezing point substances which rapidly solidify on contact with the icy cold ambience of the Strata. This process is repeated constantly throughout the Icebreaker's lifetime, resulting in a thick layer of frozen fluids dense enough to block several volleys of gunfire. Although weaker in structure than the Shellback's, the Icebreaker has the keen, and dangerous ability to regenerate its glacial carapace over time."

a shellback with weaker armour which will slowly regenerate, as well as the ability to apply coldness effect to those it rolls by and spew freezing projectiles

New enemy: The naedocyte glue bomb. "Rarely found in the fungus bogs are sacks of naedocyte glue bomb roe. Glue bombs have adapted a different strategy than their shocker cousins. Dive bombing their prey and popping into highly corrosive naedocyte stinging cells."

Glue bombers would have 30 hit points and would be fully covered by fragile armour that reduces 50% of incoming damage. They would be slower than shockers and their attack would see them explode dealing damage comparable to the omen bomb drones. After exploding, they'd leave behind a small cloud of poison that can't hit through shields. How would they be encountered? Of lime green coloured naedocyte roe that spawms in clusters. Getting to close or shooting the roe would cause it to hatch. What would this add? More naedocyte enemies and a unique enemy to the fungus bogs.

Unstable overclock
Name: to be decided
Description: Your plasma charger is now a sci-fi laser gun! Reworking the firing system of the gun has allowed you to fire highly condensed, laser-like shots! However, it leaves less battery room so you have less reserve ammo, you can only fire charged shots, and charging takes longer.

Buffs:
Shots are now hitscan lasers (not a continuous beam like the engineers shard diffractor, just a single-shot hitscan laser instead of a ball of plasma)
Shots now have infinite range (if they didnt already)
Charge shots deal way more damage

Nerfs:
-30 max battery
No base firing mode, must charge every shot or gun wont fire
Charged shot uses 12 ammo now instead of the base 8

please give me your thoughts and have a nice day

A stupid overclock idea for the Gunner’s revolver, inspired by ULTRAKILL.

OC name: Golden Eye (Unstable)
“R&D had the stupid idea of tuning the bullets to violently react to gold, causing them to seek out any bugs nearby. They said they took inspiration from a strange video game. We can’t deny it’s surprisingly effective, though.”
Stats:

Hold down fire to throw one unit of gold currently in your bag into the air. Shooting the chunk while in the air will cause the shot to seek down and hit up to 5 nearby enemies and any in-between them, with massively increased damage, destroying the gold chunk in the process.

-massively reduced damage on normal shot
-1 magazine capacity

New craftable beer: Mystery Brew

“This strange combination of leftover alcohol is definitely not safe to drink, but disposing of it would take a lot of money, so we’re serving it to you.”
Cost: 4 starch nut, 3 yeast cone, 3 malt star
Strength: random from 1-99%
Mug design: slightly corroded, rusted mug with a warning symbol on the front.

Effect: gives 3-6 random craftable beer effects, all at the same time
Voice-lines:
“Lloyd! Just get a mug and chuck whatever in there!”
“Lloyd, a round of that funky brew, i’m feeling extra adventurous!”
“Round of Mystery Brew, and leave the sediment in this time!”
Voice line ideas after drinking:
“Ohh, i feel wierd…”
“Yuck! That tasted like rotten ebonuts!”
“Bloody hell, that tasted like a glyphid’s arse!”
“Oh, what’s gonna happen now…”
“Gross, that one had bits in it!”
“Something bad’s gonna happen, i can feel it…”

Since the lok-1 is the only engi primary that can't effect his turrets, I suggest 2 ideas.

have Neuro-Lasso make turrets deal extra damage to targets that have locks
a new overclock like tf2 wrangler that would boost your turret when you lock on a target and would make your turret prioritize locked targets (targets closer to you are prioritized first). This could be a balanced or unstable by nerfing some gun stats like max ammo or damage and could give you a small boost in turret ammo.

I love engi's turret synergies and I think Lok-1 deserves one too

This is an idea to consider for the Pickaxe mods. I was wondering if the mods for the Power Attack could affect the regular swings as well. For instance, Serrated Edge would increase the regular damage by 5-10 damage and apply a Weakpoint Hit Multiplier of 50%, more or less. Shockwave lets you dig a 50% wider area and improve Armor Breaking by 50% to 100%. Better Weight Balance lets you swing your pickaxe 33% faster, letting you do damage and digging faster, but not as fast as one or the other.

Option to revert loadout changes after a mission

Personally I like to make small changes to accommodate warnings etc., but I so often forget to change back. Often I won't change anything, even though I want to, because I don't want to forget changing back.

Have a “lootbug mimic,” where it acts and looks like a lootbug except for a very tiny detail like different color eyes, except that it is a more deadly foe that an unsuspecting miner would realize by the time they shoot or hit it. It could act like a normal lootbug, maybe make some different noises, and could act like a new type of cave leech/mactera grabber. Could invite some fun chaos with friends and could maybe drop some more-than-normal loot with it, like the materials from the mission area it spawns in. Keeps miners on their toes and maybe an indirect reason to not kill lootbugs.

bringing back the ranged naedocyte thing from the earlier versions of drg ig

NAEDOCYTE CNIDOBLAST
"Where the Breeders are the motherships, Cruisers are workers and Shockers are the soldiers, the newly reported 'Cnidoblast', as nicknamed by R&D, serve a sort of 'sentry' caste within the Naedocyte collective. Assumed to be an intermediate stage between a Shocker and Breeder, the Cnidoblast is distinct from its lesser brethren due to its notable size and lacking in mobility, where they are often found loitering near ceilings and walls, its winding tendrils hanging below it building static charge. When a threat is detected, the Cnidoblast coils its tendrils, resulting in a rapid accretion of electricity akin to a capacitor, before firing it off as a lethal discharge that flashes air molecules in its path into a plasma through ionisation. Expectedly, the electrocution and searing burns makes it an effective sentry, but the long downtime beween blasts gives ample time to launch a counterattack- wherein its slow speed and middling defences make it a quick pick for a well coordinated team."

a little tougher than the shockers, roughly like that of the spreader (200-300 hp), taking extra weakpoint damage if shot while charging its attack

Special missions that are unique to each biome

Would be neat if each mission had its own special missions that are only available in that biome, examples below

Crystalline Caverns mission would be something like "We've found some rare silicate crystals, and management has their eyes on them. Your job will be to find each silicate crystal deposit, call in a (smaller version of the point extraction minehead) at each location, deposit the silicate crystal chunks, then send them back up into orbit."

Salt Pits mission would be as follows: "Some rich chef is paying us FAR more than it's worth it to extract red salt from the Salt Pits for some new dish he's creating, and management are all too willing to take his money. Once you get there, you have to find prime salt deposits, then extract the salt forcefully with your pickaxe. Be careful to only find the best quality deposits of salt, otherwise the chef may pay Deep Rock Galactic less if the salt is "unsatisfactory", or some crap like that. These rich chef people, I swear..."

Fungus Bogs mission: "R&D has discovered a cave in the Fungus Bogs that are covered with a very dangerous bio-slime. This bio-slime, if left unchecked, could not only ruin the already distasteful environment, but could spread, and turn into a bio-weapon if it comes in contact with anything such as an ommoran heartstone. We're sending you in to vacuum the slime up with modified Lithophage Vacuums, before something truly bad happens."

Radioactive Exclusion Zone (my personal favorite one.): "Management has gotten a classified request from a classified source for classified items from a classified area on Hoxxes. In English, we got a request from some military for uranium from the Radioactive Exclusion Zone, and they are paying handsomely for it. You will be sent in to find the uranium that hasn't gone inert yet, extract it, put it inside a specially-designed minehead, and get out of there."

Special missions unique to each biome, part 2

Dense Biozone: R&D needs samples of biological specimens from the Dense Biozone, so your job will be to find whatever they need, and stuff it inside the M.U.L.E, which has been modified to hold biological specimens in a separate compartment. Whether it squirms or whether it's just a plant, if R&D needs it, it goes in the M.U.L.E"

Glacial Strata: "R&D has discovered a particular area of the Glacial Strata in which below-freezing temperatures and pressure have created a special form of ice, called (insert sci-fi ice name here.) This (sci-fi ice name here) is highly-prized by scientists, and since theres so much, management has decided to sell off the extra (sci-fi ice name here) to the highest scientific bidders. Call in the minehead, stuff the ice chunks in here, and get out. Oh, and you will not have the regular M.U.L.E with you this time. Due to the temperatures being so cold, We are equipping you with mini-M.U.L.E's that have special heaters on top, designed to keep you from freezing to death, even in your armor. Each miner will have one mini-M.U.L.E. Good luck."

Hollow Bough: We've gotten readings of a parasitic infection in the Hollow Bough. We don't know if this is rockpox, something derived from rockpox infections, or if this is something else entirely. You will be sent in with cleansing equipment to clean up the infection before it infects every biological thing in the Hollow Bough. As much as management hates sending you in to do this, they have no other choice."

Azure Weald: "R&D wants plant samples from the Azure Weald. Grab the plants, put them into the M.U.L.E, and get out." (Basically just the "collect apoca blooms" side mission, except its a main mission, and theres anywhere between 4 and 5 different types of plants you need to get, with 10-15 specimens required per plant.)

Magma Core: "Believe it or not, part of Space Rig 17's fuel supply is magma. That's not a joke or exaggeration, we use magma in the heating systems (unsurprisingly), and it's part of the special fuel formula that the Space Rig uses. The bad news is, we're low on magma. So you roughnecks are being sent into the magma core to extract magma from the geysers in the floor. Get in, call in a specially-modified pumpjack with it's own storage canister for magma, and extract the magma while keeping the bugs away from it." (Basically liquid morkite extraction except you do it more than 3 times, and you don't have to hook the pumpjack up to anything.)

Sandblasted Corridors: "Enor pearls. We got a huge request for them, and we've found a cavern in the Sandblasted Corridors that's just LOUSY with them. Extract them, put them in molly, and get out. You will also receive a little bit of a bonus in Enor Pearls." (I honestly have no other ideas for this, feel free to come up with some ideas yourself.)

Feel free to ocme up with your own missions specific to each biome, and this probably doesn't need to be said, but every one of these is free to be changed by the devs to suit the game.

Biome-specific missions would really spice up the missions we have ingame, because you would ONLY be able to do said missions in their own biome, whereas with a morkite mining mission, you could do it in ANY biome.

Biome dailies are still a miserable experience for players with limited free time to play. It feels bad to be unable to clear these dailies if their corresponding biomes are currently out of rotation; only having a selection of two out of ten possible biomes is unnecessarily restrictive compared to every other daily mission (and without the Scrip incentive offered by similarly-restrictive event modifier dailies); and to reliably clear them out of your daily queue, as you can potentially reroll into yet another biome daily, you may want to rush through a mission to avoid the possibility of your mandated biomes moving out of rotation while you are still playing. In short, these feel awful: the objectives are needlessly specific compared to other dailies when we have such a large pool of biomes (with the ever-present possibility of more under development), and quite unfriendly to folks who have limited time to play.

Some solutions may include expanding the required biomes to three or four, instead of only two; or allowing players to select the category of daily (e.g. class-specific; event modifier; mission type) upon rerolling a mission.

GLYPHID CERBERUS
"A hideously malformed result of extended exposure to volatile uranium crystals, although most flora and fauna of the Exclusion Zone have evolved a very high degree of resilience to ionising radiation, the Cerberus is what happens when a rare error in the individual's genome causes it to grow without the genes coding for such resistances. Aptly named, the Cerberus' rapid mutations has caused it to accumulate thick layers of overgrown tissue, collagen and fat forming beneath the protruding, barely capable chitin plates, granting it frightening levels of durability, while its several heads and additional limbs enable it to eviscerate its prey with terrifying efficiency. Like any Glyphid, treat this one in the face- for blasting off its heads deals insurmountable damage to the monster. Just be careful once you manage to take them all off, however.."

In the same vein of Mission Control Halloween mask, how about a helmet using a model already in the game, Doretta's head! Funky dwarves get to suit up as best girl, and ideally would be one of the simpler hats to implement, just by adjusting the bottom side to be wearable.

Overclock idea for the m1000: your clip is heavily reduced but you gain a massive damage boost, the charge speed is also reduced but due to the lighter clips you can store more ammo (an inbetween for standard M1000 and hipster) it would be an unstable overclock, essentially turning scout into a sniper with chargeshots being buffed in some way (the name could be something like snipeshot or gunpowder mechanism)

It would be cool for some OC icons that are very transformative (PBM, Rocket Barrage, Six Shooter, etc.) to be changed.

Like for example for PBM, the OC icon would be multiple missile shots with their trail being plasma-looking, making kinda like a flower or some sort.

Rocket Barrage same thing, except its just a big circle made out of missles.

Six Shooter could have its icon just a cylinder with the 6 rounds (should be in-game with the reload animation too imo)

In a nutshell, more diverse UI icons for OCs that are transformative and would make them more distinct than the usual ones (not that those are bad or anything)

Okay hear me out: There's a game where you're somewhere in the deep space, in that deep space there's a planet that will try to kill you as soon as you land on it. It's also loaded with goodies, so here's the plan: drop in, yoink whatever you can, might aswell genocide everything you see in the process, and then get out, all of this while listening to some good bumpin music

I'm curious why the "Season Overview" page of the Critical Corruption Season 4 doesn't show how long time until the season ends? I suggest that it gets shown somewhere so it's easier to know if for example it's worth to start grinding to go for the end or if it's not achievable since it ends tomorrow-ish. In general it's a small thing that could help people out determining what to do with the season at the current time. 🙂

near glacier stock market

taking from this idea

you know how you have the little scrawling text in the top of the mineral trade with little news events, and how you have the union system?

what if we take from all three ideas and make a sort of mineral stock market? players could join one of many groups themed around the minerals, and place small amounts of credits betting which group would do the best collecting their groups mineral for say that week, and at the end of the week the group that did the best and the one with the most successful bets would recieve their credits back with a small boost say around 15% (non-winners simply would get their credits back) . part f this being that the winning group would also show up in the text on the mineral trade, with perhaps the group that preformed the worst getting a discount on their mineral in the mineral trade for the next week.

call it Deep Rock Galactics 's competative investing program.

[Black Market Overclocks] not your usual Overclocks but weapon modifications that are DEEMED Illegal by galactic Standards and goes against company policies, Which even mission control wants nothing to do with since it's a lot of paperwork to deal with, but turns a blind eye or disowns its existence when mention of it. Essentially these are craftable mods to ones own Specification of output on any weapon of one's choosing, these come in the form of Jerry-rigged matrix cores that have its safety parameters Tampered with, they can be Acquired from an anonymous mission terminal that has been suspiciously put up in the space station by someone with deep connections, this terminal puts out daily missions and bounties but have an entry fee, the Assignments consist of Recovering stashed resources hidden all over hoxxes, stealing components from the Rival company, or hunting the wildlife, completeing missions will get you a Data override transfer at the expense of a Pre-existing blank matrix core to be converted into a black matrix core, once converted you can choose what weapon you what it on and picky desired stats of your liking, your able to choose up to 7 Modifications per black matrix core, 5 modifications out 7 are weapon performance such as accuracy, damage, reload time, etc, the other 2 modification out of 7 are Status types such as fear effect or critical chance, But there Are also consequences to choosing certain modifications, you're also creating your own unstable Overclock that might under perform poorly in one area, if you add too much damage, you'll loose accuracy and recoil will be far powerful to control, worry not if you feel you've made a bad build, black matrix cores can be recycled back into blank matrix cores to made into a better Overclock

driller's the elemental guy so now he has an electrical main weapon

ARMSKORE ELECTRON COIL
"With careful, near-fatal tampering with the already powerful electromagnets of the coilgun alongside some capacitors, spark gaps and a supply transformer, the result is another pretty addition to your arsenal- one that's lovingly liable to designation as a war crime. Although short ranged, the ArmsKore Electron Coil forms a blanket of screeching, electrifying death using several thousand amps worth of current; cooking bugs inside of their own carapaces and utterly melting anything short of a Dreadnought. You wouldn't want to try charging any electronics with one of these."

possibly the shortest range of driller's primaries. sporting high damage and instantly applying the electrocution status effect, it could excel at crowd melting and while it might be weaker against tougher enemies, the roaring bursts of electricity and ionised air could cause armour to break off

Not entirely sure how you could implement this but I’d really enjoy seeing the game encourage new players, in some way, to try unstable overclocks

As someone who used to be a newbie (last week) there’s a huge turn off from certain overclocks as their benefits, or rather how they’re intended to be used, aren’t entirely highlighted, and new players might ignore an overclock with two or three downsides, not realizing that the playstyle it provides is entirely viable

Clean overclocks are basically extremely tempting for new players as they only see bonuses, where balanced and unstable don’t create the same sort of interest.

Something to clarify that these OCs are worth experimenting with, even if just a little reminder to new players, would be really sweet

So certain perks are completely useless in solo. Here's how I suggest you fix that.

-Shield link
Passive: shield recharges 50% quicker while near Bosco
Active: Interact with Bosco to boost your own shield

Idea: respawning cave leeches. To make cave leech cluster a bit more viable and a bit more interesting to play around, allow the areas in which the leeches are destroyed to be respawn-able areas in which a new cave leech can spawn. Each area where the leech was destroyed has a partial chance of allowing a leech to reform, at random. More areas, more leeches. The area would be covered, not allowing the re-forming leech to be damaged, but having a visual effect to indicate where a new leech will be spawning. After a period of time, say 2-4 minutes, a new leech will form with a distinct sound indication nearby. After a short while becoming born, the new leech will behave as normal, praying on the dwarves once again. Basically, if a leech can spawn in an area where a leech was destroyed, a new leech can form there.

With the advent of the corruptor, juggling cleaning tools has only become more awkward, so here is my proposal: When you pick up a foamer/vacuum, it replaces the resupply and effectively becomes an extra support tool. You can still throw it away but you can also stow it and shoot bugs without dropping it. This would also make the corruptor a lot more manageable in solo as you’d be able to ping foam without dropping the foamer.

Engame suggestions/ideas:
Irl a lot of experienced blue collar workers keep their company job, while also getting "gray economy" , "cash in hand" jobs on the side. If they get enough money, they also start their own electrician/plumber crews. Of course, this would mean leaving the healthcare and contract protection net of DRG, you could lose money and XP in your own shoddy expeditions. Dwarves even joke about getting their own Doretta.

This could be implemented in various ways:

Even more dangerous missions/"deep dives" in places DRG hasn't sanctioned mining. You can't rely on DRG drop pods, so you have to use an older, cheaper method that requires more planning.
Having your own mini base on planets/moons near Hoxxes (or your own orbital rig)
Leaving the company and going fully rogue with your own crew/mining company. You could become a "Wagner" or "Blackwater" of the DRG world, selling yourself to the highest bidder, but preferring DRG, the same way Blackwater is used by the US and Wagner by Russia
DRG decides to do "franchised mining rigs", in order to have flexible financing for exploring new planets
Maybe some sort of sabotage or player vs player (mining crew vs mining crew) game modes. There are plenty of examples of irl franchise businesses that aren't managed properly (Subway), which have competing locations. DRG could also want plausible deniability dealing with unions or rowdy employees.

TBH I would pay if this was an expansion, it could also be locked behind a very high in-game lvl, which would justify the grind of graybeards with heavy pockets. If not an expansion, it could be called "DRG franchise license" that u pay for with in-game lvl or real life $ , or a "bribe package"

Time for another magma core variant suggestion: The mactera furnace brundle.

"In the hellscape of the magma core, the mactera brundle has adapted to incorporate the environment into its attacks, it still hasn't mastered fire yet though and is hit with some hefty recoil when it attacks"

The furnace brundle's attack would be 50% kinetic, 50% fire, it would deal more damage than the standard brundle and would make sticky flames on miss and would add a small amount of heat. After attacking, the Brundle has 10° heat added to itself and has its armour slightly damaged. Killing the brundle would cause it to explode violently.

First reason that I suggest this is because we need magma core variants and the second reason is that an enemy that has recoil damage would be pretty interesting seeing as this from of the brundle would be slightly more dangerous. Last reason is for the lore🤓. The idea is that the furnace brundle hasn't become accustomed to the temperature inside its body yet.

Icons for various things refilling around your aim crosshairs. This would apply to various things like power attacks, shields, grappling gun. You would get a small specific icon appearing around the outer edger of your crosshair letting you know what you have available. It could even work for certain things depleated. Aka small flashing turret icon for Engineer. These could be optional things to turn on from settings, so new players don't feel overwhelmed by too many prompts. Got the idea from how DOOM Eternal does it to let you know that various side abilities are reloaded or refilled. Hell you could even add an optional small grenade and/or ammo counter. Some people might like it some not. But if the option is there I'm sure there will be some wanting it.

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.

Work in progress idea but yeah :D

Consider adding those "tips" for when a new player is doing an event (matrix core, seasonal event, etc)

I think the most frustrating thing about matrix core events is when greenbeards do one for the first time, die immediately, and now you have to do a timed event with two player scaling.

I remember when I had to do these events for a first time and what you're supposed to do just isn't explained at all. I know it seems obvious now, but adding a mission control voiceline or tip on the side of the screen detailing what to do would make the greenbeards feel less like dead weight

Icon Border Customization (& potential further leveling)

When fully promoted, each subsequent promotion allows you to choose literally any color. The shape of the border is changed and or has no stars, as to not be confused with previous borders.

This sort of keeps the sense of finality from reaching max level, since you're not unlocking colors, just choosing one.

If you fall through the ground too far or if something like this happens, or something just straight up bugs out your travelled distance on a class can get ruined, showing infinite or very high numbers even though you didn't travel that far. Your travelled distance statistics are permanently ruined unless you backup the save (which many people don't know about). Here are 2 solutions:

If a player travels an unusual distance on a mission (like 2x times above average or 2x times the current distance starting around 1k-2k) it just doesn't impact your stats (your distance stays the same as if you didn't go on that mission)
Just let us reset stats on a class

Regarding The Autocannon.
Yes, Yes, I've talked about this weapon to death but I can't stand seeing people talk shit about this weapon every other day.
A few small changes could potentially bring it up to par which I think is necessary.
Autocannon at base is fine (though below average) and any changes to it may skew the balance a bit too much (NTP being broken)

Combat mobility change:
Make it a clean or find a penalty less harsh than reduced mag size. Reducing the Autocannon's magazine size is a huge hit to its sustainability, as the reload is long and you're also unlikely to hit your shots due to... yaknow... the absolutely awful accuracy of the Autocannon which isn't compensated for at all with the mod/CM/BB. If I were to give it a penalty, I would give it -100 ammo, but I believe it should be a clean.
Big Bertha changes:
I have not kept my mouth shut about this overclock and I ain't here to stop. While the low accuracy may be bearable with a splash damage Autocannon, this case is thrown to orbit when BB is equipped. A weapon with low accuracy that relies on direct damage is obviously going it be ass to use. While lead spray has the same issue, unlike big Bertha it can take advantage of weakpoints and weakpoint bonuses. BB can't do that, so really it doesn't matter much whether you shoot something in the face or in the ass for as long as it isn't an oppressor or dreadnought.
Side note: because the accuracy increase is barely noticable, realistically you only have 1 upside, and 4 downsides. At least make the accuracy increase 80% instead of 30% so it's noticable and allows you to hit your shots on a gun that needs to hit shots directly.
(1/2)

#

Regarding NTP:
Change the way fear works so this weapon doesn't drain all the fun out of shooting the bugs. Instead of forcing the bugs to move X distance, make them move for X amount of time. That way NTP would fear for as long as other OCs/weapons, and you can play around with this value for different Weapons and their OCs.
Carpet bomber/splintering shells:
These OCs do not need many changes, but the weapon's mod tree could use an overhaul. You pit too many essential options for the Autocannon against each other in the same mod tier that it's both hard to build it right and hard to go wrong with it. Combining a few of the same mods from different tiers and/or reduce the competition between the many good mods the weapon has will do it some immense good, both at base and with overclocks.

I personally find Shield Link's passive effect (+50% faster shield charge) to be very situational. The effect is only useful if the shield of whoever is linked, is in its recharging state and not in its delayed state. So how about, instead of increasing the recharge rate, I suggest it gets a rework?

Before getting into it, we need to understand how a shield works.
A basic non-upgraded shield, has 25 shield points, it starts recharging 7 seconds after taking a hit, and charges at a rate of 3/second, so it takes approximately 7 + ~8.33 seconds to recharge from zero, so ~15.33 seconds total.
A shield projector from Gunner, grants +10/second and bypasses the recharge delay, which fully recharges a normal shield in 3 seconds flat from zero (it recharges in increments, and not progressively).

So, based on this knowledge, I'm thinking that the Shield Link's passive could instead grant +2/second to linked dwarves, bypassing the delay like how the Gunner's shield projector do, but at a rate 5 times lower. This means that anyone with the perk that stays close to another dwarf, will allow both to fully recharge their shields in approximately ~9.11 seconds rather than ~15.33 seconds.

This obviously makes a huge difference, but it is significant enough to really incite players who use this perk, into staying close to their teammates, thus emphasizing on the cooperative genre that is Deep Rock Galactic. After all, this perk is meant to be used with absolute cooperation in mind, unlike most other perks.

On top of that, it could also have a visual cue in the form of a blue string that connects between the dwarves' feet whenever they are linked to a teammate, to let them know who has the perk and with who they are linked with.

Seasonal events from previous seasons should ever so slightly be more common, and a few of them that take a while should yield more or bigger rewards.

While the themed events at first are fun, they quickly overstay their welcome, become a chore, and then almost disappear forever. I have seen people with tens or hundreds of hours never encounter an event from previous seasons because they are so ludicrously rare. I'll give you an example: in my playtime, I have fought and killed 21 korlok tyrant weeds. (7% chance * to spawn) Divide that number by 3 and you'll have the number of rival prospectors I have seen and took down.

Across almost 500 hours of playtime I have seen, fought and killed 7 prospectors. This is of course considering I started playing this season, but that doesn't explain why events from previous seasons are not experienced at all by some people, and yet so much time and efforts were put into designing these events. While I do think they shouldn't be as common as the current season's events, they should at least be as rare as let's say, machine events. Which are a staple of random events, and even those at times are rare. Not to mention some of these take quite a while and their payout so small it's not even funny. The biggest offenders of these are Harold and the prospector data deposit.

Harold, being a pain In the ass only yields 3 pleaguehearts, lags everything by using way too many particles, and the fight itself isn't fun at all, while the seemingly common event of cracking the big lithophage meteorite gives 3 or more pleaguehearts, is worth the effort, and is fun.

The prospector data deposit as of now is stupidly rare (I have seen 3 in 500 hours), takes a while to hack, which depending on where hack-c's pod lands and what enemies are in the spawn pool defending him can range from tolerable, to cancerous, And the reward? A single data cell. Just a miniscule amount of XP and credits, neither of which are worth the trouble.
(1/2)

#

The simple solution to this would be to:

up the reward of the data cell rewarded from hacking a prospector data deposit (same with Harold, make pleaguehearts more valuable after season 4 ends)
make said seasonal events slightly more common, so they can be experienced more often and the effort put into them won't go to waste, And missions will be more spiced up from time to time.
Give the same treatment to ALL future seasonal events so both greenbeards and greybeards alike will have something to taste and chew on from time to time.

*I am not sure about the % of spawn chances.

Side note: reduce the number of particles the lithophage corruptor (aka Harold for those who don't know) uses and make his attacks more well-telegraphed instead, why does he need to rely on a ludicrous amount of particles it lags some of the best setups, and audio ques that some people can't identify and react accordingly to.

Idea for a new mission type.

Kind of a combination between Escort and Salvage

Salvage 4 (er however many) Boscos that have been lost in the caves and they can either follow you or go straight to the objective.
The 4 boscos are tasked with setting a massive bomb that their previous dwarves delivered to a large hive (similar map spawn to the Heartstone where its got a huge circular radius around it)

Have to protect the boscos while they go through the stages of setting up the bomb. If they take too much damage can just reactivate them individually like Hack-C/repair them like Doretta armor.

Be cool if the boscos could have random cosmetics applied to them too.

Easy lore explanation too for them not being able mine and stuff for you because theyre not assigned to you so you cant give them orders.

I'd just like for Boscos to be involved in multiplayer missions.

#

Also an idea for a Blank Core spawn: a replacement Lloyd fell off a shuttle and is down in the caves.
Summon down a rocket to retrieve him.
While fending off the waves of glyphids llyod makes extra strong drinks that give you a temporary elemental damage or damage boost on a random cycle.

Can make it similar to the Pickaxe one where he just launches random drinks in random directions you pick up instantly.

I personally feel like the Gk2 doesn't have anything that fits a more raw damage based playstyle, i.e. just shredding through armor without having to worry about aiming or applying debuffs
To remedy this, I'd like to propose a conversion of either the Overclocked Firing Mechanism or Compact Ammo overclocks into Burst Fire Module! This overclock would cause the Gk2 to function similarly to the Brrt, in which it becomes a semi-auto 5 round burst gun (or a full auto with more significant delay between bursts).
In addition to this, it provides a 1.25x multiplier to ammo and a unique-ish increase to armor break (will be explained below)
Due to the gun's mechanisms functioning in an unintended way, base spread and spread per shot is increased by 1.5x, as well as base armor break being halved.
The armor break would function similarly to the Subata's 2-round burst mod, in which consecutive shots will have their armor break multiplier increased. For each round of a burst after the first that hits the same enemy, it will gain 1.2x armor breaking power, i.e. 1st round is base AB, 2nd round is 1.2x, 3rd round is 1.4x, etc.

Expanding on this, I think a Mactera Brundle type bulk could be cool. A huge, heavily armored mactera that can destroy terrain with its sting shot or a huge, ground-impact attack where it drags itself along the ground. The existing Brundle could do with a rework. Brundles are really rare, even on Mactera Plague mission types. Even when they do appear, they aren’t really a challenge. They might spawn more than I see, but they just die too quick for them to be a challenge. Maybe give them a bigger sting shot or heavier armor, and make them bigger.

So drills got nerfed against rockpox (which was warranted I think although the implementation was yada yada) but the breach cutter trivializes rockpox bugs just as much as the drills used to. So, just have the breach cutter interact with blisters the same way radial damage does. I know that the breach cutter is quirky in that it can hit weakpoints (i think there are technical reasons for this but go ask the technical drg people), but I do think it deserves a nerf in some way, if not in this way particularly.

A grenade for the engineer. Here's the idea. Basically, its an grenade that releases plascrete solution into the creatures bloodstream which slowly expands until the creature explodes. Could also work for driller, but I feel like plascrete should be associated with engineer.

Make Crassus detonators also turn nearbye enemies and undespawned corpses into gold clumps along with the terrain

Or perhaps even statues that can be picked up and deposited, either treated as compressed gold or possibly to decorate the memorial hall

Seperate idea unrelated to that one.

Allow us to damage the caretaker doing it’s startup animation where it opens it’s eyes, allowing us to immediately do some damage to it but also presumably make the boss immediately start to attack back

Load your crossbow with solid tungsten bolts. These heavy projectiles fly slower but hit hard. While too heavy to carry many at a time, they are durable enough to prevent being damaged upon impact for any dwarf concerned about running out of them.

While i was playing driller i had thought about its lack of long range weapon (not mentioning side arms which aren't the best to deal loads of damage), so an idea came to my head - inspired by flamethrowers used by chinese army: they shot singulars, long range flames (as pictured below).

I think it would be an awesome overclock (or even another new weapon (which i doubt)) to driller's main weapon

Is it original? No. Do I still want a nailgun for engi? Yes!
My rough/proposedstats are as follows:
11 Kinetic damage (projectile)
30 Max Loaded Nails
400 Max Ammo
10 Rate of Fire
4 Nails Loaded per Second (Constant loading, half while firing)
100%(?) Armor Breaking (Not sure how to balance this)

Tier 1:
Press the "Reload" key to:
Mod a Overtuning: Consume 30 ammo from your reserves to increase firerate by 100% and reload speed by 300% for 6 seconds. Cooldown of 1 minute.
Mod b Stim pack: Consume 50 ammo from your reserves to Boost an ally for 10 seconds. Cooldown of 2 minutes. (Target range of 10 meters)
(Dwarves get + 25% movement speed, firerate/pickaxe swing speed, damage resistance and revives other dwarves 15% faster)
(Sentry Guns get +40% faster firerate and range, on kill, they don't use ammo for 1 second, additional kills reset the timer)
(Steves get +50% movement speed, attack speed and damage resistance, and other bugs are more attracted towards Steve for the duration)
Mod c Spike Spray: Consume 50 ammo from your reserves to spray out a carpet of spikes which stays on the ground. (Similar to the OC: Volatile Impact Reactor) Cooldown of 30 sec.
(Any enemy that steps on the carpet take 10 kinetic damage and are slowed by 50% for 1 second. After dealing 500 damage, the carpet disappears. If shot on Plastcrete, the spikes can deal 700 damage before disappearing and maybe (not 100% sure if this one is necessary) while the Plastcrete has nails on it, it is more resistant to explosions.)

Tier 2:
Mod a: +2 Damage.
Mod b: +150 max ammo.
. (have to split since I can't send it all)

#

Tier 3:
Mod a: The "Reload" Special costs 25% less ammo and has 20% reduced cooldowns.
Mod b: The "Reload" Special is improved
(Overtuning: lasts 1 second longer and 40% chance of not using ammo per shot (100% on kill). Stimpack: lasts 3 seconds longer. Spike Spray: Spikes slow lasts 1 second longer)
Mod c: +15 Max loaded Nails and +1 Nail reloaded per second.

Tier 4:
Mod a: +50% projectile velocity and Weakpoint Damage Bonus.
Mod b: +2 Damage.
Mod c: +150 max ammo and +1 nail loaded per second.

Tier 5:
Mod a: For each Nail stuck in a creature, that creature takes +1% damage from electricity. (max 50%) Nails fall out after 10 seconds.
Mod b: Getting a kill with this weapon reloads your other weapons.
(In this priorety: Secondary, Platform Gun, Sentries within 5 meters of you are reloaded by 25% max ammo from your sentrygun ammo reserves)
Mod c: The "Reload" Specials have increased power.
(Overtuning: Nails also deal +2 heat damage while boost is active.)
(Stimpack: Dwarves Base Boost is increased to 35% and Enviromental slow-down effects are reduced by 35%. Sentryguns deal +3 damage. When Steves get hit, they discharge an electric jolt to the attacker, dealing 6 electric damage and 10% stun chance)
(Spike Spray: the carpet deals 2 more damage and has a 10% chance for a 1 second stun.)

I know people have talked about the overclock system to hell and back, but I really believe in this so tothebone or ♻️ me if you will but at least hear me out.

When infusing a core and after selecting a class, you should again be prompted to choose one of three random weapons for that class. I think which weapons appear should be independent of how many overclocks you have for them so it’s easier to grind for a specific overclock or ignore a weapon you don’t like. Also all 6 weapons should be able to appear even if you haven’t unlocked them because otherwise it would incentivize not unlocking new weapons. I doubt that would actually happen much, and everything would probably be fine if it was limited to unlocked weapons, but there is some risk of players optimizing the fun out of the game.

Alternatively you could just be able to choose between clean, balanced, and unstable but that’s less interesting I think and def a ♻️

on finishing the mission, all of these rewards would be confiscated (they are rival tech after all), but upgrades would stay between parts of a deep dive

ARMSKORE RAILCANNON
"Following a recent breakthrough, leading electromagnetic weapons company ArmsKore have managed to create a fully man portable, handheld plasma-assisted railgun. Accelerating a solid tungsten penetrator up to mach seven using a pulse of plasma propellant, much like its lesser cousin, the Railcannon's projectiles form a blazing hot inferno of superheated plasma and air molecules as it roars out of the barrel, punching straight through the strongest of armours Hoxxes has to offer while leaving rows of smouldering, charred corpses in its wake. NOTE: Do not confuse with a railway track."

a stark contrast to most of gunner's primaries- like the coilgun, it has a chargeup. the slowest firing, but also the highest damage per shot of any non-overclocked weapon
it fires an instantly travelling projectile which can penetrate metres worth of terrain, forming powerful shockwaves and a large heated trail along its path, while a burst of plasma spews out in a cone similar to the boomstick close to the user
capable of bypassing unbreakable armour (albeit dealing reduced damage), and shattering heavy armour both hit by the round and the shockwaves
even though it mainly excels at single target devastation, it still works as a potent crowd cleaner by aligning your shots with hordes of enemies, ensuring the shockwaves and flaming trail eliminate as many enemies in a single shot similar to the coilgun

dreadnought mods, things like poison, rockpox, or slow on existing dreadnoughts, more for haz4+, the eggs could be colored differently as a warning.

more dreadnaughts, one could be experimented on by rivals or drg and has weird gmos, maybe some tech or armor but we already have that, so gmos.

another one could be a quirked up brood nexus, normally swarmers are easy to take care of, itd be fun if they were coming from all directions. maybe it shoots a ton of eggs, like nedocyte ones in every direction. or when it burrows it leaves a fast spawning nexus

another more long-range one, maybe it could be spitball species, it could have more heads and/or bodies, or shoot more, maybe it has like 10 sprouts on haz 3-4

:Drak Rework Suggestions:
I feel that the gun is lacking significantly on almost All levels(besides firerate)
Ammo, Damage, Projectile speed, Spread, these are all important and all are somewhat lacking

Base weapon changes:
Buffs:
Increase base projectile speed by 35%
Increase base battery capacity to 950
Decrease heat gained per shot by 12%

Nerfs:
Increase overheat duration by 0.3 seconds(2.8 seconds total)

Mod Tree Rework:

I think there is some really fun potential with the "Disabled inertia inhibitor" Mod, increasing the projectile speed of your weapon the faster your velocity, to make up for the base projectile speed increase, we'll be removing the T1 "Stronger particle accelerator" mod and replacing it with "Disabled inertia inhibitor"

Personally I think it'd add a very cool gimmick with the scout, considering he focuses on mobility Very often, the fact that he doesn't have the Inertia inhibitor mod on Any of his kit at all is incredibly sad(considering he'd be able to take advantage of it the most out of any class), and drak would take advantage of this the best out of the weapons in his kit with the fast firerate and relatively slow projectile speed.

T5 focuses entirely on heat as a mechanic, so an alternate mod for someone who doesn't want to think about heat would be nice,
We'll add a mod called that is a good replacement for the other two, while being a simple buff mod

"Refined Particles"
It increases both the direct damage and the fire rate by 1.

New Overclock : "Thermal Rerouting" : Balanced
'We've rerouted some of the excess energy back into the particle chamber, pushing the plasma feed to its limits and allowing you to fire more plasma per second at the cost of a much much more unstable system failure upon overheat.'

Benefits:
Fire rate incrementally increases to scale with your heat level(10% heat = 1+ firerate while 80% heat is +8 for example),
Less heat generated per shot(Heat per shot is reduced by 35%)
Slightly increased battery capacity(+60 ammo)

Downsides:
Base firerate is reduced by 2,
Overheat duration is increased by 1 seconds

Edit: Didn't mean to send yet, but I'll leave it as is I suppose- Please give feedback, I'd love to hear it in #suggestion-discussion! <3

Buff/rebalance to the "shaped shells" overclock for the jury-rigged boomstick
Reduced spread: 50% -> 80%/90%
Ammo penalty: -4 -> -8

As of now, shaped shells feels like it does nothing. Sure, it reduces spread, but with how ludicrous the Boomstick's spread already is it doesn't really increase the effective range of the boomstick aside from very specific scenarios. I advocate for this rebalance to make the overclock feel like what it should be (in my eyes)

Update Perks to be More Viable in Solo

Some perks only affect multiplayer gameplay. This reduces the amount of perks a solo player can use. Updating them to utilize BOSCO or just yourself would be beneficial.

Field Medic and Shield Link updates have been suggested before (see #suggestions message, #suggestions message, and #suggestions message)

Friendly lacks a previous suggestion, so I've brainstormed a few possible replacements:

BOSCO can no longer damage you (I'm not sure if this even applies, I haven't tested it)
You take less damage from your own attacks
You (deal increased damage/take decreased damage) when near BOSCO

Honestly after 800 hrs I think I might suggest a few things, but this probably won't be noticed, whatever tho.
Just finished writing this. It might look like I'm trying to shit on the game and be offensive while I'm not. So please interpret 99.9% of the things listed as frustration(you'll see this word a lot), not me being offensive
(also sry for my wonky ingles ai eim nat neitiw) (oh shi there's a slowmode)

Most stupid things:

Rework that stupid haz5 assignment. You can only complete it doing haz4 missions
haz5 is easy most of the times, and yet the game is forcing me to play on haz4 when somebody is doing that assignment. Why punish high lvl players? Why? Why? Haz5 is literally harder, make them count towards haz5 assignment (I think it used to be this way before, really dumb change)
Lost packs are extremely unrewarding when get all the cosmetics, it literally gives you nothing. It pushes players towards not helping others, kinda not good and going for it literally gives you whole lot of nothing. Make it so it gives 500-1000 creds or something, give me at least some reason to go from them, this amount of credits won't change anything since there's nothing to spend money on(I'll get to that), 99% of the time minerals lying around the lost pack will be picked up by teammates.

Client-server shenanigans & game features/mechanics:

This is probably worked on and will be fixed at some point, but yeah desyncs and hot loading mods is in issue
PLEASE PLEASE make resupply cost server sided, this so easy to implement and will make CD(hate it or not, CD is big part of the game, and there's a pretty big community around it, since the vanilla game is pretty damn casual on haz5) work more reliable and yeah this will change nothing in the grand scheme of things.

solid hazel Honestly after 800 hrs I think I might suggest a few things, but this probably w...

2.1. Idk if it's possible, im no coding guy, but please make the ammo count server sided, I was really frustrated when I installed mpb's suggested UI mod and saw the huge amount of player who are ammo hacking, I'm completely fine with no anti cheat, but spotting this without mods is really hard to do, since the bar is 25% per part. It's ofc obvious with fat boy spamming, but with other guns you need to pay a lot more attention than needed to spot it. I actually started to ban people when I installed that mod.
~~3. Colorblind people. They exist. Look at the recent convo in mod approval channel, it so happens that you are punishing people who are color blind. It's probably very easy to implement some kind of color filter into the game code tbqh and it won't be that frustrating. And the thing is that I'm not even colorblind.
~~
4. Litosomething, it's annoying af already, but the bigger problem with it is how resource hungry it is for low spec PCs. You can say whatever you want, but one mission modifier/event bumping your minimal system specs requirements by like 1.5-2 times is just absurd and not right. At least there's a mod that completely removes meteors and corruptors

Reviving system crediting... Oh boy you've cut corners here, please make it credit everyone who participated in the reviving process. Yeah more revives than deaths will be possible... And? Literally and?

End game content:
Oh yeah there's none, no resource sinks no nothing, I'm literally quite close to the point where I just don't have anywhere to spend resources aside from promotions

Also Axis made a really good suggestion about the promotion UI thingy, like if you have all of your classes with silver promotions you'll have some kind of marker around your class icon that indicates that

General balance:

1.Actually most of oc balance is fine to mine, aside from some weird ass ocs like the green one on brt that gives you +0.2 firerate and 1dmg. A god damn spit in your face, imagine getting this as your first oc.

Subata, yeah more buffs kek. It's not THAT bad now, but it's still dogshit compared to like epc that can:
1)Mine ores instantly almost anywhere with little ammo cost

Area deny a hunge chunk of space with pp
Remove a cluster of macteras in two clicks
While subata can do what? Bypass oppressor's armor with detonators while they are sludged? And it's not even an intended feature kek, but please let it stay, it's at least some use for subata

Oh and yeah please play test balance changes on haz5, not haz4, this doesn't make any sense
Perks... so you gave us 2 active slots and made one(iw) of the active perks 10x better when the rest of them and the other one(dash) 5x more useful than the rest+ a criminally low cool down? What a cool system the exists nominally. Honestly idk what to do with this, it's again frustrating that basically most of the active perks give so less value compared to these two(i.e do not exist)

I think that's most of the things I wanted to mention, modio system is wonky but whatever honestly, love ya devs

Some small suggestions to communications:

Text chat needs a lot of improvement. I think the best way to go about it is emulating how Source Engine games handle chat. When activating, you are locked into it, and can copy/paste and select chat via the mouse.
PLEASE add voice chat ducking! Even at max volume, I find hearing my teammates near impossible.
Another unrelated suggestion is snapping for audio volume sliders to quarter values (25%, 50%, etc)

if you're getting jumped by multiple enemies and are taking damage, your dwarf should shout to alert your team that you're in trouble. cant happen more than once every 5-10 seconds

I think making plasma splash for the drak deal a percentage of the weapon’s damage as opposed to a flat 5 would be a good indirect buff to Overtuned Particle Accelerator. It could be useful for area damage without infringing on impact deflection’s whole deal. and I think it would quell some of the complaints that OPA is just worse thermal exhaust feedback. I don’t really think that’s true, but changing plasma splash wouldn’t make OPA worse at single target damage anyway

Make hyperpropellant hitscan so my brain doesn't fry itself trying to both predict movement and treat the shot like hitscan only to miserably miss a shot at point blank.

You almost never take the extra projectile speed mod anyway because that causes some client issues with the projectile sometimes going through the target. Since with this change it wouldn't matter since hyperprop would be hitscan, if you use that mod anyway you get some extra damage.
The projectile is flying fast, so if it flies faster it means it'll hit harder, right? Just a thought...

Not really a big hot take, but Plasma Splash for the EPC is kinda just...not good. (TCF and BN outclass it by a large margin). And with my 180+ hours recorded on steam (its proly like 150+ counted or something like that cus Abyss Bar party with the boys, but same thing), I would like to suggest a few ideas to make it so it has a reason to exist.

My ideas are split into 2 parts:

1. Just outright buff it, so it doesnt decrease the direct damage but it still feels like a band-aid type of fix. (And again TCF's existence just makes it not have any real purpose either way and I'll get to TCF in a bit)

2. Rework it into a different mod that makes sense to have on the EPC that while it still retains the normal shot changes, so it incentivizes you to pick it or either make it something silly fun, and Plasma Splash is not really it.

And on the topic of TCF, its really not much of a surprise to say that this mod singlehandedly represents the gun itself and people will unironically call it TCF instead of EPC (yes, that actually happened to me and maybe many other since I used to main EPC so much that its just that, the TCF gun).

I guess a small but quite a significant nerf would be so you can still use TCF as normal but depending on the charge, you actually make the charged shot be way less effective at dealing damage/mining since its not the full charge (pretty much LazyMaybe's suggestion but with some extra steps).

And back to Plasma Splash, I'd make it so normal shots heat the gun significantly less and perhaps has some kind of armor breaking effect or that it actually heats target and paired with the Cryo-cannon can trigger the temp shock effect but its still a percentage like CWC.

: Rivals Revived / Shredder Factory :
Mostly this suggestion is just tweaking the chance for a Rivals related event to spawn(beacons, prospector, etc) but also it adds a new stationary spawner enemy to the game.

Event Probability Tweaking
Things like the prospector, beacons, and other rival events are extremely rare during season 4, tweaking the probability for these events to happen in a mission would be very appreciated, as well as increasing the rewards gained from collecting a data cell slightly to incentivize the challenge further. Additionally increasing the chance for the "Rival presence" mutator slightly would be nice.

New Rival Enemy: The Shredder Factory
A new stationary rival tech enemy that spawns shredders at a set rate.
Once a dwarf is within a certain range of it, will begin spawning shredders similarly to breeders and brood nexus's.

It is slightly rarer than any other rival tech stationary enemy, similarly to a special enemy but for Rival tech.

It has three vents located around the chasis which act as weakpoints, which when destroyed, will slow the production of shredders by an additional 2 seconds per destroyed weakpoint.

:Shredder spawn details:
Spawn rate: Every 10 seconds, 3 shredders will be spawned(to a maximum of 21 total at once)
(The spawn rate increases by 0.5 seconds per hazard level above 1
(I.e. 9 seconds on haz 2, 8.5 seconds on haz 3, 8 seconds on haz 4, 7.5 seconds on haz 5)

Once it has lost 1/3rd of it's total health it will spawn a shredder swarm of 7 shredders immediately, separate from its base spawn rate.
(back up defense system that triggers on hostile threat detection)

:Base Stats:
Base HP: 1700(Haz 4 (scales with hazard level))

Weakpoint HP: 350
Weakpoint damage multiplier: 2x

If fully ignited, it will explode instantly, just like most other rival tech enemies.

As always, this is just a rough idea, but I'd love to hear your criticism! And the shredder factory is NOT my original idea, I just devloped the idea a little more from someone in this server that I can't remember the name of(IF you're seeing this, please tell me your thoughts!)

NAEDOCYTE MEDUSA
"You've seen the Glyphid Dreadnought, and you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that they aren't the only walking tanks in this nightmare planet. Much to our horror, the Breeders aren't the top of the Naedocyte hierarchy, for that crown goes to the Medusa. A gigantic, gelatinous monster, Medusas are completely immobile and are found anchored to the walls of the caves they inhabit. Generating huge amounts of static charge, the Medusa is protected by an impenetrable field of electrical energy that disintegrates just about anything we can throw at it. R&D recommends destroying the numerous Naedocyte Supercapacitors located around the nest, allowing you to open fire on the hideous jelly. Capable of summoning screeching electrical storms, striking with blistering jolts of lightning and temporarily disabling shields with an electromagnetic pulse, every time the Medusa takes critical damage, it will retract into a polyp form, call its brood and begin to heal. In this stage, massive damage can be dealt and the more you deal, the less health it gets back- but if it is allowed to mature from this phase, it will regain a significant amount of its lost health. Overall assessment? Don't bring a fork."

Instead of giving zip lines crazy physics when going up like some people want, what if gunner's shield can charge the zip line when nearby so you go somewhat faster on the way up? It'll last around the duration of the shield

A new grenade for the gunner. This grenade would spray the enemies with a liquid that weakens armour and flesh. Effects: armour takes 25% less damage to break and all flesh is replaced with weakpoint. This would be a support grenade for the gunner that also works well with single damage sets. Just an idea that I came up with.

Edit: Due to the fact that it doesn't deal raw damage, you would probably carry 6.

Small Buff/change to gunner's sticky grenades:
Make them inflict a big slowdown/short stun on the enemy that the grenade is stuck to instead of fear, so if you chuck one at the bug at the head of the pack it'll slow down, let a couple behind it get ahead, and then the grenade explodes in the middle of the pack, potentially killing a nice chunk of bugs.

Might make the gunner's "basic grenade" option better so you don't actively fuck yourself over if you don't take cluster nades or leadbursters.

When using manual heat dump on the Drak-25, the scout will always yell an overheat line.

-just get rid of the hologram health mechanic and have them always last for a fixed amount of time. would probably require a nerf to duration

4-legged spider drone, with mounted breach cutters. Slow and weak, but usually roams in large groups. Doesn't damage robots, damages bugs however. [Size of a glyphid grunt]

i think it would be nice if the armour of patrol bots would break off more noticeably, exposing internal wiring, glowing bits and machinery as you shoot it to bits, allowing you to blast off its arms and rip apart its armour as it falls apart- making it so that you actually feel like you're dealing meaningful damage to them

When trying to pick something that looks nice, I often boil it down to 2 options, and then try to choose which looks better in my eyes, but navigating the menu to directly compare one framework/skin to the other is both annoying and inconsistent, sometimes scrolling over other frameworks/skins which kinda ruin the comparison.

Maybe make a function with the weapon customization menu where if you right click 2 frameworks/skins they will appear only by themselves in a menu of their own, so you can directly compare them to eachother.

This last Deep Dive with Sabotage at the end got me thinking it’d be really cool for deep dives to feel more “themed.” There’s a couple of mission types with big fights at the end that work really well as climaxes - mainly Sabotage and Escort - and it’d be cool for those types to show up at the end of Deep Dives often and set a “theme” for the whole dive. For instance, if you’ve got a Sabotage for Phase 3 it’d be cool to have rivals show up in the previous stages, have a higher likelihood of Rival Presence, maybe have some of the secondary objectives replaced with the rival events, etc. Then the deep dive has more of a story for why DRG is sending you down there - you’re infiltrating a rival lair and trying to descend and obtain the Data Rack below.
This’d go really well with if they add any more big fight objectives in the future. For instance a giant Queen Glyphid fight at the end would be awesome combined with lots of Egg Hunts and Eliminations in past stages. I think it’d be a cool way to make Deep Dives feel more fleshed out.

#

On the topic of Escort, I also think it’d be really cool to randomize up the stages of the Heartstone fight a bit too. Right now it’s just swarm -> rocks -> swarm -> beamers. It’d be cool to have more possible phases but even with the 3 types of stuff we’ve got already, shaking up their order would add a bit of unpredictability and bring it more in line with the Caretaker fight.

rocknstone dashes 35% more frequently
moves at 50% speed while charging an attack
tothebone health (at haz 4) decreased to 210 from 265

rocknstone armor health increased to 125 from 80
tothebone health (on haz 4) decreased to 500 from 720 (divide by 3 since you're probably hitting the weakpoint)

Mactera tri-jaw:
tothebone fires a barrage instead of a burst (0.25s delay between shots)
health (on haz 4) decreased to 390 from 420

"It's big. It's fast. And it's dangerous. Beyond being twice as large as other macteras, a domineer possesses almost every attribute a mactera can have.
Some domineers even have the habit of stealing dreadnought cocoons and growing to massive sizes."

make corruptor puddles damage bugs too.

i think all of us can agree one of the worst things that can happen when a corruptor is around is a swarm, or to land in a mission with a corruptor active but already has swarms of bugs present, like on-site refining or point extraction.

i think it would be nice and make corruptors less of an annoyance if we could make use of the puddles ourselves -ingenius little dwarves that we are- and lead bugs over them for some medium damage. say, 1/4th of a grunt's health for every second a bug stands on the pox, or something comparable to sticky flames minus the heat buildup.

this would help mitigate the pain of a corruptor having saturated an area with rockpox by rewarding the player not only for their skill in dodging both the puddles AND the bugs, but also reward them for successfully kiting the swarm.

not only that, but it feels a little weird that the corruptor puddles damage ONLY the dwarves when the entire purpose of the corruptor is to spread the lithophage to EVERYTHING around it.

i also feel this change wont incentivise dwarves to keep a corruptor around because the puddles, despite being exploitable, still pose a threat to them just as much if not moreso than the bugs.

this change i feel just helps the corruptor feel more accurate to its in lore purpose, while also providing a skilled way for dwarves to take advantage of it when shit hits the fan.

safe patrol This last Deep Dive with Sabotage at the end got me thinking it’d be really cool...

i would love to personally see something like deep dive exclusive mutators and anomolies, things that dont show up in normal missions because you simply havent dug deep enough.

this fits the classic dwarven theme of "digging too deep" in a way that makes dives more unique and exciting, helping them feel almost like an expedition to discover what more hoxxes has to offer on the way down.

vestal creek Sep 29, 2023, 8:11 PM

If we're talking about what we want to personally see, I'd personally like to see some sort of shared over-arching progress, sort of like the Union terminal.
Something we can each collectively work towards to affect the landscape of Hoxxes.
The seasons attempt an illusion of this, but in truth they just add new random events to a pool. The rival or rockpox presence on Hoxxes will never actually decrease due to player efforts.

Refinery refitting missions. let us return to places we've set up refineries (maybe we could flag one or two to save for this purpose, or maybe the game chooses for us), mostly just as we left them and retrofit them to pull more liquid morkite out with new tech and a fresh rocket, maybe redirect the pipelines to another site. Sorta like how old command and conquer games had missions where you'd go back to bases you already constructed and then use them for other objectives.

"retrofit and reclaim"

ever the scrooges, deep rock galactic is sending you on a mission to reclaim refineries, drilldozer bodies, or point extraction rocket pads, all in an effort to pinch every last penny to please investors.

now that the heat has died down in these areas after the first teams completed their mission, we're sending you down for phase 2: bring back the tools left behind for repair and re-use by the space rig crew.

travel through one of three various caves (refinery, point extract, ommoran), locate the damaged/used equipment, strap it up with DRG rocket return pods, and ship it back to the rig in orbit. all without being mauled by the same bugs that failed to kill the last team, of course.

this mission would take the concept for salvage operation (minus the death of the previous team) and apply it to other mission types.

edit; drilldozer bodies would have a small chance to find old doretta heads laying around that you can also rescue, as they were abandoned by the last team. leave no dwarf behind!

NAYAKA PROWLER
"An ugly extension to the family of Nayaka sandsharks, the Nayaka Prowler is a newly discovered species endemic to the Crystalline Caverns. Due to the hard nature of the caverns' rock, Prowlers are not found actively roaming for prey like their speedy cousins, but rather remain stationary inside of large, cone shaped pits, where they will wait for prey to fall in due to the slippery nature of the wax coating the walls of the pit. When this happens, the predator emerges from hiding, snagging its unfortunate victim before pulling them into its far reaching den to be consumed. Throw a flare to draw it out- or better yet, a grenade, to make sure the thing's as good as dead."

stationary monster inside of an antlion/wormlion-like pit. anyone that falls inside will be unable to climb the walls, where they will be grabbed by the prowler and take gradual damage until killed, almost like a grounded cave leech. throwing a flare into the pit will cause it to emerge, allowing you to open fire and make quick work of it, although tossing a grenade will instantly kill it.
punishes people who are unaware of their surroundings, like the leech

ive seen people suggest that the kursite bugs be added to the bestiary, but what about the ommoran heartstone?

its a boss enemy like the caretaker, obviously alive in some aspect because it reacts to pain and makes an attempt to defend itself, and we get some neat stuff from it, but its got very little lore.

im not saying we need a hyper detailed explanation as to what it is, but some vague hints as to its theorized origins and some other examples as to what heartstones are used for besides weapons like the shard diffractor would be neat.

some ideas include it being some form of living silicon crystal formation, making it the only example of non-carbon based life discovered so far, the heartstone being used for stuff like advanced power cores in starships and such, and maybe some theories as to where they come from, like perhaps a space-bound entitiy that sometimes crash to planetary surfaces.

i think it'd be neat if they gave the heartstone its own entry

OMMORAN HEARTSTONE
"What many in R&D believe is the first true specimen of a silicon-based lifeform (if it can even be called one), the Ommoran Heartstone continues to boggle researchers and scientists alike. Little is known of their origin- but the Ommoran "species" is a collective conglomerate of various geoforms controlled by the Heartstone. Instead of feeding, an Ommoran colony secures its growth through the Heartstone, which draws ambient element molecules of hydrogen and helium from the surroundings before subjecting them to nuclear fusion via the generation of extreme electromagnetic fields, temperatures and piezoelectrical discharges within its thick shell. This enables the Ommoran Bed to grow by using the energy to melt surrounding layers of rock and transmute them into the same molecular structure as the Bed itself, effectively "growing" by transforming local geology into its own. When the Heartstone is threatened, the first layer of defence is to emit a constant set of infrasonic pulses that agitates the wildlife and draws them to itself. Every time the shell suffers permanent damage, the magnetic processes become disrupted, emitting a powerful shockwave and a concussive blast that launches its assailants. These same magnetic fields can be manipulated by the Heartstone to summon pieces of Ommoran Bed infused with highly compressed plasma generated by its fusion processes, along with the formation of crystalline towers which siphon energy directly from the Heartstone into a coherent beam of plasma aimed straight at the target. When the shell has been fully breached, the core disconnects from the colony, still freshly imbued with decades worth of energy produced by nuclear fusion; making it one of the most prized energy sources to date."

💡 Frozen/Rockpox Infection "breakout" rework
Instead of having to spam Left / Right keys to break out of a stun effect, you should have to press the keys with a certain rhythym to break out faster.
Similar to a rhythm game (e.g. taiko), but very short and simple. Perfect or alright keys presses fill the meter and make you break out faster, misses slightly reduce the meter.

Reasoning is to make breaking out of stuns a bit less of a frantic experience and require a small bit of skill and composition to do.

grenades for scout and engie that deals instant damage in a wide area, similar to gunner's. one of my favourite parts about gunner is how all of his grenades are high damage, large area instant damage and my least favourite parts about scout is how his are all support grenades, usually afflicting some kind of debuff like freeze, pheromone or stun. engie's i dont mind however i would like at least some kind of explosive grenade to just instantly wipe out that small group of bugs and give me a hit of dopamine.

some ideas:

contact grenade that explodes immediately upon hitting something, digs a bit of dirt as well like drillers mid grenade (scout maybe, as hes able to get close to things on walls), 6 ammo
shrapnel grenade which shoots white hot shrapnel in a ring shape, like the leadburster but on one axis (id imagine engie having this) 4-5 ammo
piercer grenade which is thrown very far and quickly proportionate to other grenades. pierces on impact, and explodes after a few seconds. 4 ammo
slicer grenade that fires out six short range plasma lasers when you throw it, damaging bugs near it. on contact with the ground, it spins once with more range. 4 ammo

Litho-Vac/Foamer Mechanic Suggestions

Allow the Litho-foamer to apply the "Foamed" status effect which reduces a regular bug's speed by 20%, and a rock pox bug's speed by 65%. While they are foamed if the litho-vac is used on them the foamed status is removed and the rock pox bug is stunned for 0.5 seconds and is dealt significant damage(Maybe around 80-160?)
Allow the litho-vac to suck up Septic spreader goo (both the mid-air and the puddles it creates) for some silly gimmicky counterplay(this would be moderately rare, but allowing it to have this functionality despite this would be very flavorful)

New Biome: Nectar Swamp

Nestled deep within a previously uncharted region of Hoxxes IV, the Nectar Swamp is believed to be the origin point of the Mactera species. Previous reports say it resembles a colossal beehive, with Mactera drones using the reservoirs of bio-nectar collected from the farthest corners of the planet to raise their young. Additionally, Management has taken notice that the Mactera are extremely protective of this biome, to the point where any Glyphid presence is in short supply. In no short words - pollen allergies will get you nowhere here.

Rock Hardness: 1 pickaxe hit

Minerals: Bismor (abundant) Magnite (scarce)

Unique hazard: Honey - functionally similar to the goo in the Fungus Bogs, only the slow effect is lessened in favor of Pheromones being applied to any dwarves that step in.

Unique Bug Variants

Mactera Nectar Bomber (Goo Bomber that drops Honey)
Mactera Juvenile (Parasite clone with more health)
Mactera Honeypot (Brood Nexus that spawns Mactera Juveniles. Drops a pile of Honey + some more Juveniles on death)

Additional Information

Glyphids are rare sightings here, with Macteras being the main threat. Neither mactera special swarms nor the Mactera Plague warning will appear here
Deeptora Honeycombs can spawn here

Two new mutators: HYPOVITALITY and HYPERVITALITY
Hypovitality has been suggested by someone else, i just thought it was a good idea
Hypovitality is essentially reverse shield disruption, almost no health but a lot of shield. No red sugar spawns and you have damage resistance like in shield disruption.
Hypervitality is where there is an abundance of red sugar in the caves, with reddish mist in certain areas. The red mist is red sugar dust, so you passively heal in those areas. Red sugar has way more spawns, so you never really are without health. Maybe up the bug damage to offset this massive buff.

new engineer weapon:
-- DSTR-25 Plasma Rifle --

the DSTR fires short, controlled bursts of pure plasma. Using parts shipped in from other galaxies, this expensive glyphid-griller can reach temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun. Thankfully, its at the bugs, not you. The DSTR is a long range, medium speed gun that deals bullet, burn and radiation damage. its size is a bit larger than the warthog, around the size of the m1k. its bullets are large, heavy blue plasma bullets. it does not use a traditional heat meter, but rather gains heat over time and has to be hand-vented by reloading. At maximum heat, the weapon is unusable for the next 5-10 seconds. The gun can fire quite a lot before being "reloaded", and is "reloaded" if using the perk born ready. its firerate is similar to the warthog, however single target.

Notable mods:
Luminescent Charge - Shots create a large flash on impact, illuminating the cave for a second. Useful for getting your bearings or lighting up far away caves.
Cluster Plasma - Shots fire out two small homing projectiles which light enemies on fire.
LAZ-R Module - Holding the fire button charges up a huge single-shot laser which propells you around and does large amounts of burn damage. (sadly turns it into a semi auto weapon)

Overclocks:
Volatile venting - venting burns whatever is closest to you, however overheating burns you instead.
Hand-cranked - venting on an empty heat meter gives one charge, overheating consumes a charge and empties the heat meter without burning you. (max 3 charges)
Screecher module - Removing the muffler causes overheating to let out an ear-piercing sound, scaring every glyphid around you.

this is basically if the warthog had babies with the m1k and the laser, but eh who cares

But there are new products: barrel crab, metallic lootbug, infected drilldozer. Toxic trash has flooded the area, now the miners will have to clean up after the ahem "consequences of their actions". The management allocates you a recycling station, as well as a garbage collector. It's time to pay for the consequences.

RIVAL 'RACHNIDS (rival modified bugs)

These would be mixed in with regular bugs during rival related events (ex: hacking a data depo) or being a modifier (every wave would have a chance to be a rival bug wave, causing special dialouge from MC)
These bugs are notably sadder/angrier. they wont listen to reason. (cannot be tamed unless they are freed)
These bugs would be very similar to normal but with rival tech melded to their skin. Shooting these augmentations would deal less damage but after enough damage will break off. removing the rival buff but also allowing you to tame the grunts/guards/slashers
"Drat. Our rivals are unleashing their latest twisted experiments onto us. suit up gentlemen."
The following list of changes will be for glyphids only, if this does well I will do another list for macteras.
Swarmers: rival tech deemed them unworthy.
Grunts: small phase bomb is attached to abdomen. if destroyed will cause a small explosion to those around it.
Guards: on both shield sides will be half of a repulsion projector. when the grunt puts the two shields together it creates a small projector blocking hits directly in front of it (shield does not cover projectors)
Slashers: a burst turret is attached to its top left left leg. slowing it down. while its climbing on a wall it can choose to fire the turret.
Wardens: Melee damage to its weakpoint will trigger the teslas next to it. launching the unwise dwarf back and very briefly stunning them. destroying teslas will negate this.
Stingtail: With a considerably longer cooldown between swipes the tail is replaced with a nemesis claw. if it grabs you it will swing you around wildly before tossing you out.
Praetorians: These will be slightly rarer then normal. The rivals strengthened their armor and on death three shredders and a faze bomb erupt from the gas.
Oppressor/Bulk/Dreads: rivals are too scared to touch them.
Acid/Septic Spreader: The acid heals damaged augments (not broken ones)
exploder: faze bomb duh.

#

Menace: large wheel poking above and below the menace. allowing them to roll around the cave ceiling to avoid fire. similar to a patrol bot.
Brood nexus: Eye's now have sight. if they see you they will charge up a sniper shot. where the sniper is stored is a fucking mystery but killing the eye loses the targetting. (swarms are still unchanged, rivals are very adamant on not liking the swarmers)
(REACT TO MAIN MESSAGE) rocknstone : Good tothebone : what the fuck moss. err23 : rework/change (tell me what specifically in #suggestion-discussion

mounted miniguns as a random set piece, akin to the mounted MGs from left 4 dead
would be a refreshing new way to utilize the environment to fight swarms

LOK1 should not count Ebonite Glyphids as targets during the overcharge event.

Maybe this is more of a bug issue than a suggestion, but a lot of lock-on weapons, like the sentries, ignore Ebonites during this sequence so they can prioritize regular Glyphids in the swarm. I believe Shredders are in the clear but I haven't tested them, but yeah, small issue players might not notice given its a rare event.

magic hatch Give us a barrel full of cement that when a dwarf tries to kick it they stub the...

"damn you mission control!"
"im putting all the fucking barrels in the launch tube for this"
"thinks he can keep a good dwarf down, does he?! i'll show him"
"mission control you bastard!"

mission control could have a voiceline for this as well.

"seems you found my little surprise. maybe you'll leave the barrels alone in the future!"

suggestion: make the barrel identical to normal ones, and make it randomly switch with other barrels every time the space rig reloads.

I think rocket barrage could use a reload speed bonus. You really feel those 3.5 seconds when you burn through a magazine in one third the time. Makes sense in lore as well because small missiles or whatever.

Boltshark Clean OC: Wormhole Tipped Arrows

rocknstone Killing an enemy with your special arrow will cause you to teleport to where they died (the arrow itself, not the effect it applies)
Nearby enemies you teleport to will be stunned for 2s

Just a funny idea. It's similar to the movement granted by Special Powder (if not more underwhelming) so I decided to just make it clean.

Hurricane Guided Rocket System unstable OC idea I had a while ago, thought I'd share it here.

rocknstone Much larger AOE, probably 2+ meters, maybe a bit more.

rocknstone A little more AOE damage to make the extra AOE worthwhile

tothebone 50% magazine size

tothebone Much slower reload speed

tothebone -2 Rockets Fired Per Second

tothebone No more rocket controlling

Maybe some more balancing needs to be added, but I think the reload speed, fire rate, and mag size would balance the potential crowd control.

Mactera 💥 Mactera 💥
**MACTERA KAMIKAZE **
"A bloated, blister-covered monstrosity that is filled with combustible pus. If this isn't the worst flying thing Hoxxes IV has thrown at you, then I don't know what is."

**MECHANICS - **The kamikaze is similar to the exploder, with the exception that it flies. When it spots you, it will clumsily fly towards you and try to avoid your shots by combusting flammable gas out of siphons/jets on its side; its comparable to a Flintlocks Delight. After around 5 seconds, it will make a visual and audio cue to tell you its about to ram into you and explode.
**HOW TO EXTERMINATE - **To prevent it from turning you into the dwarven equivalent of mashed potatoes, you will have to shoot either its abdomen or its mouth. Shooting the mouth ruptures the brain and shuts down the combustion sequence. Shooting the abdomen makes it explode mid air, blowing the other mactera out of the sky! Thankfully, its a lot less tanky than its cousin, the Spawn.

Overclock Idea:
Pump Loader
Type: Unstable
Class: gunner
Weapon: lead storm minigun

"Refined loading mechanics specially engineered for efficiency let you instead of continually pumping lead into your target, pump it in bursts, and stronger ones the more lead you load."

rocknstone instead of continuous fire, you will load a bullet into the chamber every time you were supposed to shoot, up to 9.
A Bit more into detail - you can no longer fire normally. Instead, you will shoot in bursts. For every shot you were supposed to fire, you will load a round instead. When you have 9 rounds loaded they will fire automatically. Release the fire button before you have 9 rounds and you will shoot what you have loaded. You will gain heat per burst fired, and you should overheat at ~16 bursts fired.
rocknstone shoot +1 bullet without consuming ammo for every 3 bullets loaded.

tothebone Increased spread
-600 Max ammo

the devs should take the "biome bugs" mod and impliment it as standard.

i know, its an odd suggestion, but hear me out.

one of the most prevalent traits of the glyphid species is their adaptability, the swarm litterally pumping out entirely new bioforms with shocking speed to respond to threats (ex: the septic spreader and the stingtail)

yet, in their entire existence as a species, they havent evolved camoflage? one of the most basic evolutionary traits for almost every species?

not only that, but its extremely pretty. it adds another unique layer of depth to the game visually, and fits thematically.

We all love red sugar. But what if you have a low health teamate who can't reach some? How about we get the ability to pick up red sugar and bring it to our teammates? It wouldn't be like a medic class, because you'd have to work for your red sugar. Maybe this could be a perk or a core mechanic, I don't know.

Tools usable vs corrupted? Bosses?
Gunner vs corruptor, able to chain him down with zippline to run in some area only or slow him down (possible unchaing by other player) by pressing ancor of zipline
Driller satchel able to destroy corruption (in tight spaces rly hard to fight with foam and enemis) if explosive will destroy corruption, could it spawn more corrupted as drawback (secondary effect when attached to bosses?)
Enginner platform can temporary block corruption, attack from corrupter (slam), or Spreader miasma on the ground (to be able revive etc).
Scout graple can puls coruptor to him. (change his dirrection) when u hold it
All this can be expanded to more mechanics in game

the brood nexus is implied to possibly be not of glyphid origin, but rather an unrelated symbiotic species
so in that note

MACTERA BROOD COLONY
"Another member of the keen, ever confusing "Brood" organisms, the Mactera Brood Colony has formed a mutualistic symbiosis with a Mactera nest, replicating its genome to facilitate the production of young. Unlike the Nexus, the Colony is often found hanging upside down on ceilings, where it will continuously produce fresh Mactera Nymphs to aid in its defence against predators, while also helping the local Mactera nests grow in number."*

MACTERA NYMPH
"A tiny, underdeveloped Mactera Spawn, the Nymph is easily identified through its soft yellow exoskeleton, where only its wings have hardened enough to barely support flight. Still lacking many of the complex sting expulsion muscles, Nymphs will still fiercely attack intruders by swooping down and stinging them."

also
the ommoran heartstone being "alive" had me thinking
what if the kursite and ebonite infections are other "species" of the few silicon-based lifeforms in hoxxes?
the ommoran seems to be the only one capable of self sustenance possibly due to its ability to generate massive amounts of energy, so kursite/ebonite are parasitic in nature because they lack this quality and instead must thrive on the energy provided by living organisms- slowly transmuting their biomass until the host has been completely converted into a kursite/ebonite geoform

Headlamp Make turning the headlamp off have a use, you could make an enemy that interacts with it or gets aggressive when its on, but it would have to be an enemy that is found in large swarms and has a lot of health, otherwise a driller would walk up to it with a c4 and kill the whole swarm.
