Can you please increase the interaction distance/hitbox of Doretta's fuel canisters?

I feel like they're really clunky and unreliable when I want to take them off the ground or grab them mid-air. Compared to other items (like large chunks of minerals, Gunk Seeds etc.) I have to be really precise in where I aim at the moment of interaction to actually grab the canisters. While with other items I can just press F almost anywhere as long as I'm close enough to them and looking in their general direction, which is great and feels exactly as it should. Fuel canister don't, you have to be annoyingly accurate

Once a target that has the poison effect is lit on fire, the poison and fire status should be cleansed and the target should explode. ( not an instant kill, just a good amount of damage. )
This makes sense knowing how neurotoxin reacts to fire ( neurotoxin grenade ), and would have some cool interactions.
For example: taking volatile bullets and neurotoxin coating on the bulldog.

New mission type: "Corporate Espionage"; " We've detected a Rival Researching Facility in this area. We're sending you in the find the facility, breach the firewall, copy the data onto a data rack, and purge the database." The way this could go is you look around and find the research facility, and use your hacking device to get through the first bit of firewall, then get locked out and have to disable the Security Station further down in the caves using specialized hacking devices, then get back to the research station, grab the data, deal with a couple of Assailant drones, (these will be explained soon.) then extract with the data. This mission will also introduce a new Rival enemy, the Assailant. Picture a Nemesis, but with ranged weapons and quick move speed instead of just, stealing you.

So I've been wondering this for a while after talking to a friend and basically what we talked about is DRG having runes and after thinking about that for a long while, can't perks themselves be renamed into runes?

To add to that the milestones used to get the perk points can be seen more as the life experiences of said dwarves
For example: The reason a dwarf would know how to make the Friendly rune would be because he accidentally shot another dwarf in the past

So it's kind of making the dwarven armour the book, runes the letters and your time in the mines what you'd write on your armour

On the same time I was thinking that people might ask why can't anyone see the runes and that led me to the idea that the reason you can't see the runes themselves could be because they are written inside of the armour. The reason for this is because it's the personal story of said dwarf which means that you'd could only read it if you removed the armour or if that dwarf died in the mines and you'd write your story inside the armour because on the outside the damage could make it illegible

[sonic hinge]

dear devs, the last patch significantly buffed the overclock for the coilgun called "triple-tech chambers"
while it was greatly appreciated, this OC is now a literal nuke and while i don't mind it being that good i'm here to ask you: PLEASE give some love to Elephant rounds! It's now literally a worse version of triple-tech chambers as it fully lost its uniqueness, on top of that the coilgun completely ignores any kind of armor and just melts a praetorian in 3 shots the same way elephant rounds does, with close to no need to aim for weakspots, but with triple tech chambers you have significantly less recoil penalty and infinite target penetration! (on the revolver you're actually FORCED to take the tier 2 mod that reduces it or else it feels like shooting a desert eagle. On top of all this, you can get a huge amount of ammo on the coilgun while the revolver only gets what, 24 rounds? Oh and the coilgun reloads faster lmao.
EDIT: after playing with the revolver once again, doubting about my suggestion, i reinforce the statement, Elephant rounds is just trash compared to triple-tech chambers.
P.S: the Discord/forums community of this game is complete trash and cancer compared to the actual players you can find ingame, i bet that half of the people reacting stays on this Discord 24/7 making sure things are how the like, and as i know it's going to sting, i take the chance to remind you that your reactions are completely useless, it's up to the developers to decide whether the idea is good or not, no one cares about your opinion, nor mine. Go touch grass.

On the deep dives terminal, add a button to both dives that says "past dives" with a list of every deep dive of that category that's been made, and allow users to play on it without being able to get the core rewards of course. This way if users found specific dives challenging, fun and etc and wanted to go through them again, they could do so!

More creatures that are biome specific. The salt pits have the Q'ronar Younglings. The Sandblasted Corr. have the trawlers. There should be creatures that are only biome. There could be creatures that spit fire or lava in Magma Core, Azure would be great to have flying creatures like bats (would be the cave angels perfect predator)

Also some new biome specific elimination creatures could be added which would add more diversity and bring new challeges in combat. Dense BioZone could have a massive flying jellyfish that would be apart of the Naedocyte and I'd love a giant sand snake or lizard in Sand Corr.

M202 "Flash" inspired Hurricane Overclock v3.5 - A rebalance to the previous two iterations. Big thanks to others for feedback on this version!

"Quad Launcher" Unstable Overclock

"Some antique weaponry inspired this latest modification from R&D. Vastly decreased magazine size and reserve ammo with the trade off of incredibly powerful missiles with plenty of area of effect."

Huge increase in damage and AoE [x3.5 Direct and Area Damage, +1 Effect Radius]
A lot less ammo [x0.22 Magazine Size, x0.34 Max Ammo]
Slower fire rate and reload [-2 Rate of Fire, +0.5s reload time]
No missile guidance

Recap of base stats with overclock:

Direct Damage: 60
Area Damage: 60
Effect Radius: 2.4
Magazine Size: 8
Max Ammo: 100
Rate of Fire: 1
Projectile Velocity: 100%
Reload Time: 4

Feedback is always appreciated. Cheers! 🍻

Here's an idea for a new Lok-1 Overclock / rework for seeker rounds.

Bullets ricochet to other targets with locks on them up to 3 times
Bullet Penetration is converted into more ricochets
Heavily Reduced Damage
Reduced Rate of Fire

Basically, the since the bullets can only ricochet to targets with locks on them, this encourages the user to spread out their locks onto multiple enemies in order to most effective dispatch a group of enemies. This hoard clear potential comes at the cost of of heavily reduced single target damage, as well as a worse ammo economy if you do not use the weapon correctly.

I thought of this because seeker rounds are currently kinda lame, and I thought this would make for a much cooler playstyle that would still have diverse build variety.

Whenever there is a BLACKBOX objective, add a broken drop pod and wreckage next to it.

Let's say there would be at least two possible broken drop pod models, each with its mirror model (if easily done from the original, to maximize content).
Randomization of the drop pod's state of burriedness, also of the position of its plane of symmetry.
Randomly spread wreckage would be found in the area.
From time to time, no broken drop pod would be found, only wreckage.

Also the black box itself could be burried sometimes, for the players to dig it out, whereas it would still show on map.

Something to do to fix the septic spreader's insane aim, I don't know the exact coding and whether or not the septic spreader needs LoS in order for them to aim at players but it gets increasingly frustrating when you're in the middle of a swarm (esp EDD) and septic projectiles come from behind a wall or up high where you can't see the enemy and you die due to the slow effect making you unable to run from enemies.
Perhaps a requirement they should have is having LoS to make a shot? idk, just something to make themselves a little bit more known

1. Drills charge up before rapidly digging with increased movement speed until they overheat. Cannot stop until overheat.

2. Grappling hook gains high cooldown but slow firing and retracting speed. Dwarf remains effected by gravity for more of a swinging motion rather than zipping from A to B.

3. Undercooked platforms are sticky, slowing dwarves and bugs alike but use less ammo. Too bad they melt over time.

4. Ziplines speed increased and ya can't fall off but once ya lock on, it's a one-way trip to the end because ya can't jump early and the safety mechanism blocks the reverse switch.

Inspired by Lethal Company, I think a endless type gamemode where you have a quota, and every time you reach that quota/complete the mission, the quota gets higher , the mission gets harder, and the rewards get better. This goes on infinitely until your inevitable death. Would be fun to see how far you can go.

We need a sand worm in sand dunes. Who's with me? It would be similar to the trawler, were they rare (kind of like a cave

With beast master perk you be able to tame lootbug by holding E (if you want just pet them press E without holding it) tamed lootbugs is 30% faster than normal lootbugs trying to stick close to owner (but if owner waay to far away they will give minerals to other closest dwarfs) and collect resources on floor (dropped gold, dropped nitra and any other materials thats can drop) and giving it to dwarfs, ofc glyphids will try to attack your small fatty purring friend and since hes cant attack he would eventually die if nobody would defend him (resources will drop from him)

Lead Storm OC Idea:
Shell Hell

R&D has rechambered the gun to be able to fire shotgun shells instead of bullets, allowing for hail of pellets at the cost of the gun's gyro stabilization system, and ammo capacity. Accuracy by volume is the name of the game here.

Simple.

I love the Drak, but the T5 "Upgrades" are pretty underwhelming. I have a few ideas to improve them.
First of all, manual reload still count as an overheat, meaning that even after it drops %50 heat, it cools off slower than if you just stopped firing in the first place. It has a niche in overheat triggers, and that's it. Otherwise it's a non-feature. I think the manual reload if done this way should be blazing fast, then I might actually use it.

Fire rate boost is okay, fun even. However, the required build-up time is counter-productive to any build. If you've already reached %50 heat, you probably don't want your heat building even faster. Unless you have the high-heat=fire, in which case you want to reach the heat threshold as fast as possible, which means you spec out of heat reduction, which means it's harder to ride the high heat as close to overheat as possible when with the fire rate bonus, so you don't use the t5. There's a lot of ways to remedy this. The smallest change would be so it starts firing slightly faster at lower heats and gives a ramp over time. Or you could invert it, so it fires much faster at low heat and drops to no fire rate bonus at maximum heat, giving you better power for short bursts and letting you ride high heat easier.

I also think working the "high heat transfers to bullets" should be a T5 option rather than an overclock. It would fit with the heat management theme of T5 upgrades, and would be the "no way to reduce heat, but you benefit from high heat" option.

^I have 830 hours in the game so far, maining scout and drak, if that matters.

I know it's been suggested before, but a dragon's breath option for the warthog and white phosphorous shells for the autocannon would be greatly appreciated. I love the multiple elemental options for so many weapons, and I'd love to see more. A driller primary that blasts chain lightning would also be beyond epic, but I know that primaries are take a huge amount of effort to create.

[vapid schooner]

Pickaxe power strikes make you immediately disassemble a turret, allowing you to replace it somewhere else without having to wait for the fly back but still have the automatic ammo refill if you were to let if fly back as opposed to setting a place for it to land, but to balance the speed something like 10-20 turret ammo would be consumed on each turret ttack, making it risky to use with double turrets as it would use 20-40 ammo but allows for easy repositioning of the mk2 turret and indirectly making mk2 more usable by giving it the advantage of much more speed than Gemini

Remove the radioactive damage type from the Wave Cooker and convert it to fire or kinetic. It's currently a 50/50 split of fire and radioactive but is never told to you by the game. The fire is fine since it interacts with lots of enemies, but zero enemies are weak to radioactive and about 5 specific biome variants resist it, which can halve your damage. It doesn't serve any interesting gameplay purpose in the current state and ends up being an annoyance when your gun is randomly nerfed.

LMG MKII Buffs

LMG MKII while a fun and useful upgrade is almost totally outclassed by Gemini system. Currently it only serves as the lazy option, being outright worse then the other option, but theoretically better in terms of ease of use, the issue is it's even fails to fulfill that role. Its bonus to magazine size is abysmally small compared to the effective double magazine of Gemini, Its range bonus is so small its unnoticeable, and it has worse total damage when taking defender system. Even in its niche, its better to just take Gemini then only use one turret at a time. So how do we fix this?

First changing the +2 of MKII to a x1.4 would place it behind Gemini in terms of DPS, but have better efficiency and hit the 15 breakpoint of swarmer kills with defender system.

Current +2: (Without defender/With defender)
MkII 8/13, with 2.4 ROF and 425 ammo for ~20/~32 DPS and 3400/5525 total damage
Gemini 6/11, with ~4.8 ROF and 515 ammo for ~29/~53 DPS and 3090/5665 total damage

New, If MkII was x1.4 instead of +2
MkII 8.4/15.4, with 2.4 ROF and 425 ammo for ~21/~37 DPS and 3570/6545 total damage
Gemini 6/11, with ~4.8 ROF and 515 ammo for ~29/~53 DPS and 3090/5665 total damage

Then If you also buffed the magazine size from +15 to x1.5, making it 135 or 180 with T3C, it would both better match Gemini in terms of damage per magazine, and also let the T3C mod scale better.
Gemini has an effective magazine of 180 or 240 with T3C. This is because Gemini has two turrets, meaning you are able to load both, which in practice doubles its magazine size, and bonuses to its magazine size.

And finally buff the range from +5m to +10m, since +5m is incredibly small.

I could also see MKII getting other buffs, like to its building speed or loading time, but I feel the above would be enough to make it an actual decision, even if Gemini would still often be the better choice.

[austere spear]

T2 Turret Changes

Currently there is basically only one choice in T2, that being build speed.

This issue stems from the fact that you typically don't need more ammo, and that faster build time is so crucial to the tools versatility that its best in 99% of situations, compared the other options. The best fix in my opinion is to buff the other options in T2 to make them just as powerful as T2B.

You could change the ammo upgrade to a damage upgrade. Ammo and Damage both give you better efficiency, and more total usage over a mission, the differences being ammo retains granularity, letting you overkill less often, and damage increases DPS, letting you kill faster. For the turrets, they already have low damage per shot, so changing the ammo to damage doesn't lose much granularity, but does let it be the better option for DPS, making it a more competitive option. At base T2A gives a total damage of (425+90)(6)=3090, and With no mods it's (425)(6)=2550. A damage bonus of 1.27 would match the current, so +1 or +2 would be sufficient for this. (425)(6+2)=3400 OR (425)(6+1)=2975.

As for T2C, buffing its bonus would work great. Currently it doubles your reload speed, letting you fill a base turret in just 1 second, this sounds great until you realize recalling your turret then rebuilding them automatically reloads them, so taking faster build speed also helps reload speed, especially when filling multiple turrets, or turrets with bigger magazines. The best solution is to make the reload speed so fast, that even with faster building, reloading will always be far more efficient. Changning it to 5x (45 per second > 225 per second) Would let you load both of Geminis turrets in under a second, and the current MKII turret with T3C in just more then half a second. This buff would still leave T2B as the better choice for flexibility, but it would make T2C a good option for stationary objectives, or sustained fire.

[analog orbit]

[austere spear]

T4 Turret Changes

Defender system is the best choice for almost all builds. This is due to 2 thing: Firstly Gemini is far better then MkII, so the range penalty of defender is usually negligible, and Secondly +5 damage almost doubles both DPS and Efficiency, which far outclasses any bonuses to versatility.

The first issue was partially addressed in my earlier post, as buffing MKII makes Hawkeye better through MKII not being able to sidestep the range issue, but the issue still persists with Gemini builds. So how can we fix this? Firstly buffing the range bonus for Hawkeye give it further use over Defender, Something stupid big like x3 would both synergies with MKII, and allow a single turret to cover an entire cave.

Current range bonus of +15: 35m or 40m with MkII
New range bonus of x3: 60m or 75m with MKII

This would give Hawkeye an stupidly big range, letting it cover any cave, no matter how big or long. This doesn't really address the issue of the Gemini Defender Synergy, instead just sidestepping the issue entirely.

The next issue is the huge loss of DPS and efficiency. There are several ways' to address this. One could be folding some of defenders damage into base, making it a less drastic choice. Moving 2 damage from defender to base makes the differences in DPS and efficiency a lot less apparent.

Current stats No mods other then T4:
**Defender: **
Total damage: (425)(6+5) = 4675
DPS: (6+5)(2.4) = 26.4
Hawkeye:
Total damage: (425)(6) = 2550
DPS: (6)(2.4) = 14.4

New (+2 to base), No mods other then T4:
**Defender: **
Total damage: (425)(8+3) = 4675
DPS: (8+3)(2.4) = 26.4
Hawkeye:
Total damage: (425)(8) = 3400
DPS: (8)(2.4) = 19.2

Another could be to give Hawkeye +2 to damage, as this would achieve the same as above.

Overall increasing Hawkeyes bonus to range, and decreasing the disparity in damage between Hawkeye and Defender, would go a long way to making it an actual decision.

Alternate T2 Turret Changes

A lot of folks would still only use build speed with the above changes, so I could see the above buffs being implemented but much smaller, in addition to changing T2B.

If T2B where to get nerfed, I would want its lost bonus to be moved to the base stats. Personally I think reducing T2B to -1s instead of -2s, and then reducing the base turret build time to 3s, instead of the current 4s, would be best. This changes T2B from x0.5 to x0.66 while keeping the same overall time, that being a total 2s build time with T2B.

If the above was done, the change to T2A would almost certainly be swapping the +90 ammo to +1 damage instead, instead of +2 damage. This would give a bit less total damage then the old +90 ammo, but would now also increase DPS, and the damage per magazine, making it a much more enticing pick, while still being the same power as the new T2B.

As for T2C, I could still see x5 being balanced, but it might be a little too good with the new MkII, so I think x4 would be best. Still a huge bonus (45 ammo loaded per second > 180 ammo loaded per second) but would take sligtly longer while still being much faster then silmply recalling your turrets.

Overall I would be happy with either, as long as the overall build variety and viability of options is increased.

[finite tundra]

I think it'd be cool if an update focused on new unlocks. Specifically, I think alternative traversals would be cool.
I think Scout could get something that supports teammates movements as an alternative to the grappling hook, maybe something silly like a placable spring board.
Gunner could have something like portable grind rails, based on the pipes.
Engi could have something like an elevator, since upwards movement is really limited.
Driller could get mole claws, which don't rely on ammo, but dig narrower tunnels, (and have some other downside, so it's not too close to being a direct upgrade.)

[torpid mortar]

not really a suggestion, but i had an alternative explanation for the existance of crassus detonators since the whole "transmute everything into gold" thing feels a bit too far when it comes to believability.

so, what if instead it was evidence a bulk detonator has lived a long time?

the idea is, bulks burn INCREDIBLY hot, and one of the reasons they are so aggressive is because this is either uncomfortable or outright painful (not counting the other problems they have). so, in an attempt to find relief, bulks can sometimes be found rubbing their bodies against cool surfaces, one of which would be gold deposits in an attempt to sooth the heat.

however they run so hot that already maleable gold is easily pulled off the cave walls and gets stuck to their skin in all those nooks and crannies on their bodies, and particularly old bulks will have accumulated a lot of this gold. when the bulk explodes, the gold melts and is flung everywhere, coating every surface and cooling into the classic crassus gold ball.

[ornate ivy]

add a beard which reaches the floor. maybe have it tied tight so its super long but not super wide, but maybe make it cover the whole dwarf.

sideburns which cover the entire sides at the base and look like the insidious twirl the further along it goes, but it reaches as wide as the dwarf

[fickle cipher]

I would like it if, to allow for a faster lategame, there was a 100% chance of a machine event in the mission with 2 hazard modifiers. Some more incentive to play the hard missions would be fun I think, since there currently isn't much incentive beyond grinding out challenges for perk points.

[dusk basalt]

Post-mission purchasables to promote exploring the caves more thoroughly.

If all objectives are complete and a team is sitting on like 160 nitra, how about the option to call in an ATV, hoverboard, or something to play around with.

It seems like there's always a bunch of enor pearls, error cubes, and jadis that never gets picked up because someone always rushes to push the drop pod button. Maybe some toys will distract them for a bit.

[cerulean marlin]

I've always wanted them to have a bonus system for exceeding your quota of items to make there a reason to collect more items. The main thing I've been thinking of is aquarqs as there are far more of them on theap than you need to complete the mission.

[marble hatch]

this, but the bonus is extra exp for mining more minerals

[marble hatch]

or maybe a completion bonus for mining all of the minerals in a mission

[worthy magnet]

so after editing this suggestion i'm seeing it's still not well received, and i realize that's probably because there's no ammo cost to using it, which i wanted to add, but for the life of me i couldn't figure out how to make that work.
but i think i've got it.

LOK-1 Balanced Overclock
Scanti-Gravity
Upon initiating a scan, induces the low gravity effect on the user for two seconds. if the user ends the scan before those two seconds are up, the effect will instantly end.
At the start of every second the gun is scanning, it fires off a single shot directly forward

My hope is that this provides an ammo cost, forcing players to be more careful about when they use it, and keep it as effective as normal in combat situations, since i didn't wanna nerf it unfairly.

[keen karma]

It would be neat to see enemies or neutral mobs responsive to light, either running away from it and hiding or gathering around the lights like moths. I just think it would be a cool effect.

Another idea is to have enemies that attack each other in certain cases. In the first DooM game, enemies would attack each other if they got hit by a projectile from that enemy, and I always thought that was pretty cool. It seems to me that the glyphids and the rockpox should be enemies, as might the glyphids and the rivals, at least in certain cases/scenarios.

[neat fern]

Don't know if this is the right place for this. Been playing a lot of minigun lately and i've been thinking "most OC's are kinda basic" so introducing 'breadstorm': "You've given up that extra sandwich storage room so the guns barrels were the next best spot, huh?"

When you press the reload button the gun starts a timer where you can charge up a shotgun blast by holding left-click. Once the timer expires you shoot a wide shotgun blast. Depending on how long you held the left-click the blast becomes bigger.

Every blast would add 25-50% heat to the heat gauge.

+Shotgun blast
+more ammo
-Quick heat buildup
-lower rate of fire because of sandwiches in barrels

[crisp dagger]

Fat boy equivalent for every class

Driller: nuclear waste overclock for the sludge pump, does radiation and more damage but less ammo

Gunner: mini nukes for the hurricane, larger explosions and radiation but less ammo and smaller magazine

Scout: not sure, maybe a radioactive crossbow bolt?

[real geyser]

New mission modifier:

Gloomy

”An abundance of natural light-absorbent mushrooms have overgrown the cave! While the creatures are used to it, you are not. Be careful out there.”

Gloomy caves are constantly dark, foggy and quiet. The darkness can be fought off by a flare, but these are not permanent solutions. Scout flares die out 30% faster, and glowing cave elements are 30% darker. Your headlamp is your friend, and R&D didn’t want you to go insane. Your headlamp is larger, and has a much longer range at the cost of flickering every so often.

Bugs are naturally used to the darkness, so exposing them to harsh light will cause them to be stunned and run away. Also the music will be 70% quieter, which will make the game a bit spookier. Muzzle flashes are also really bright, to add some GTFO atmosphere into the game.

Flares have been reworked just for this. Flares burn for twice as long, and burn much brighter to illuminate large caves. However you only get four of them, as they take much much longer to recharge. They recharge at the new fungus, lamp lichen.

There are two new mushrooms in the cave, Gloomshroom and Lamp lichen. Gloomshroom constantly has a foggy aura of spores, shrouding everything near it in a thick veil. It can be destroyed with 3 pickaxe hits, or one with a super hit or with beer. Lamp lichen grows on the walls and floor, and offers a nice break from the gloom of the shroom. Lichen creates a field of brightness, recharging flares and scaring off any bugs that are near. The lichen is highly poisonous though, so do not stand in it for too long.

[wind grove]

Okay, got some concept art done. (I apologize in advance for my crappy drawing and handwriting.) The concept art will be at the bottom of the paragraph for those who just wanna look at the design.
Okay so, basically imagine the springloaded ripper, but magnetically propelled, and instead of rolling, they can either be embedded in bugs, causing bleed dot, (they'll be retrievable if you miss, don't worry) or, if you were to charge the weapon up, the saws would ricochet off of rock and carapace.
An overclock for this would be, when you fire a regular shot, instead of dealing bleed DoT, the blades will just explode when you reload. Okay, that's enough letters, here's the concept art.

[tranquil marsh]

Random thought: Salvage game in the DRG world would be an amazing spinoff. Send dwarves to smash, cut, and pry apart derelict equipment, rigs, vehicles, and stations. Naturally, the pay isn't very good and everything is hazardous. Steel beam falls on your head? That's a headache. Forgot to deenergize the power cables before snipping? That's a KO. Try to torch-cut a hydrogen tank that hasn't been vented? That's a wipe.

Naturally, Hoxxes still has its fair share of miserable locals so the workers need a few choices to defend themselves with.. just gotta be a bit more careful with the aim

[naive bay]

Here's another idea: R&D have figured out the recipe for pretorian gas, and have bundled it up in a nice package. Could be like the ice pump, or it could fire a grenade that releases the gas.

[torpid mortar]

in addition to this:

1 in 10 chance for your dwarf to pull out a candy cane that has had its end melted by the cocoa into a sharp point. you can walk up to other dwarves and poke them with it (right click), triggering any friendly fire voiceline that doesnt involve mentioning being shot (since they, well, arent being shot).

click the drink button again to throw away the weaponized cane and finish your cocoa.

[drifting holly]

when the miners union terminal completely dies i say we scrap the idea of fixing and go for a rework where the unions play a more active role such as a players respective union icon being next to their name in chat and more engaging quests or some sort of system similar to the season xp reward quests where you do something specific so the unions are actually engaging and not just a reward you get by simply playing the game normally

[austere spear]

Warthog Balance
Overall the warthog has pretty good balance, the only issue being the T4 armor break mod, and the T2 accuracy mod.

Currently there's not much reason to take AB over damage. Others have done that math, and overall its barely better then damage when dealing with light armor, but far far worse at everything else. This leads to it being one of the few "bad" mod options. With the somewhat recent introduction of Stingtails it has gained a bit of use case, but even then it's still better overall to take damage.

Choke has a similar issue. Accuracy will never be better then the big +25% additional damage per shot that is the T2 Pellets mod, or the substantial +46.66% total damage increased that is the T2 ammo mod.

So how do we fix both these issues? There are several, one would be to buff them until they are worth losing general DPS and efficiency for, but this option could instead flip the issue, with the current best mods becoming almost never used. A better option is to move the mods around. By moving Choke to T4 you place in competition with Armor breaking, a more balanced choice.

But what about T4 damage? It's still the best choice in the teir. My solution would be to convert it into a WP damage mod. This still allows players to build for damage, but further gives Armor Breaking and Choke their own use cases. +15% would be slightly better then the current +1 damage, so it would work great. You could do +20% instead, but that may start to overtake armor breaking, so I think it would be best to keep it at 15%.

Overall the new mod three would look like:
T1
Supercharged Feed Mechanism
Overstuffed Magazine

T2
Expanded Ammo Bags
Loaded Shells

T3
Recoil Dampener
Quickfire Ejector
High Capacity Magazine

T4
Choke
Tungsten Coated Buckshot
Sharpened Pellets

T5
Turret Whip
Miner Adjustments

On site refining is really fun, so fun that I always feel it is over a bit too quickly, so it might be an interesting idea if you could optionally call down another extractor to pump more liquid morkite once you are done with the first for a bonus reward or just call the droppod.
Alternatively it could also call down a completely new platform at a different part of the map to make for a more challenging idea as you will now have to build the pipelines while the bugs are already very present and angry compared to the beginning of the mission

When you tip Lloyd he should become happier. Just because he's a robot, doesn't mean he can't have emotions

[outer trellis]

alternatively; hoverlock (not to be confused with the m1k's overclock)

as the user acquires locks, a hover effect is in place.
when the gun reaches max locks, locks stop acquiring (i.e. a target is out of scan range) or it is fired, the effect wears off.

make it replace armor break module considering seeker rounds does what abm does but better.

I have two ideas for grenade launchers OCs that were in my head for some time

"Gas nades" balanced/unstable overclock

Grenades shot from ur PGL create a cloud of neurotoxin gas one second after impacting the terrain. Said clouds act as drillers gas grenades, but on little bit smaller space and maybe for a shorter time, everything depends of number balance
PGL's grenades dont explode on impact anymore, basically u trade burst explosion dmg for crowd control and dot of neurotoxin
ammo decreased to 11 if both ammo mods are in play, similiarly to hyperprop

"Cleaner sweep" (idk how to name it, forgive me) clean overclock

grenades explosion removes more terrain, similiar to this C4 mod
ammo count increased
(optional) projectile speed increased

What I wanted to do here is changing PGL into mining tool. Ik u can get similiar results with RJ250 or just waiting for scout, but sometimes u dont want to bother with this all and want to get those sweet sweet minerals now. Might be pointless OC, but I know I would use it personally

A pickaxe part that makes your pickaxe look like a machete. Would it make sense to chop solid stone with a big knife? No. Does it make sense to mine solid stone with a pickaxe made of ice? Also no

If a dwarf is wearing a helmet that covers the mouth area and drinks a beer, the mug makes a barely audible tink noise as you drink.

A new drink called party surprise which has a very colorful party themed mug and when drunk 5-10 after consumption the dwarf starts to complain (in dwarven fashion) and a few moments after wards they spontaneously combust into confetti. Smth else I just thought of is when you spawn the med bay you are wear glow stock bracelets and necklace (es) and a lampshade on your head. Ofc it'll be replaced by your normal clothes when you visit wardrobe

Make Randoweiser give you a random amount of drunkenness

[solar sand]

A Steam achievement "Leaflover's special" for completing a mission without killing anything

[lyric coral]

An unstable overclock for the hurricane that turns the missiles into mini fireworks. The perk is that they have a chance to trigger a fear effect, with the downsides of lower fire rate and damage.

Repairing pipelines has gotten to feel so tedious. Knowing the mechanic of “defend this objective, it will stop if it takes damage” exists in the game (Hack-C), the game is asking for a large suspension of disbelief by still using the voicelines “something must be gnawing on the pipelines” as an excuse for why the pipes are broken. It’s just too clearly not that.

I propose: throughout the pumping process, mini swarms will spawn frequently, and head to one or two specific pipeline joints. Failure to defend the joints will then cause the standard breakages along those pipelines. Whether we have to repair or not would be fully in our hands, and I think that would feel much more natural.

This would go a long way in rewarding skilled teams, while also not punishing teams that have some trouble.

[wispy pier]

Rework the coil gun again, ammo counting needs to set to smaller Digits when using up its ammo, its confusing as heck and I don't know why it's ammo pool is Counting in hundred Digits, just Simplify it to tenths value just the same as the m1000 thats uses two bullets per charge shot, the coil gun just needs to stop being a single shot weapon, period. It's needs two fire modes; a charge shot, and just casual fire just like the other weapons in DRG, maybe have its ammo chamber to hold 6 shots and charge shots costs 2 per charge so you get 3 per charge, while depending how long you hold the charge its costs 3 per long charge, firing it normally without charging it has a limited Penetration range so having multiple shots isn't so over powered.

[jagged crest]

Not sure if it's possible - or if management is even planning to give us new guns - but could Gunner get a salt cannon as a primary which grinds salt rocks into darts and flechettes? Here's the basic jist because words are hard on 3 wormhole specials ok

"Salt Storm" Handcrank Mineral Processor Usage

• R&D botched a deposit point module, so they made it a shotgunning beast of a weapon with salt rocks. It's a complicated matter, apparently.

• Hold Reload - or toggle it, your choice - to hand-crank the grinder, letting tons of processed salt into the barrel

• Primary Fire barrages enemies with whatever's in the barrel!

• Mods change stuff like the max amount of pellets you can stuff into the barrel, how fast you can grind salt, and how the salt is shot out of the barrel.

Didn't Read Guide
This is a TF2 Beggar's Bazooka in the form of a heavy artillery piece that acts like a rapid-fire salt shotgun. And you reload it by grinding head-sized salt rocks in the comically large salt shaker attached to the barrel.

I'll prolly come back to this idea since there's potential; having to grind up a salt rock inside the whenever you want to shoot would make it the logical extreme of a wind-up gun to turn a rock into

[paper ferry]

A funky idea I had, maybe sprinkle in the ebonite glyphids into actual gameplay a bit, but of course to a small degree so people aren't frantically trying to get their power attacks to recharge all the time.
Maybe have it so every time there's a natural praetorian spawn, an ebonite grunt has a 35% chance to spawn with it. And when there's an oppressor spawn, there's a 20% chance an ebonite praetorian will outright replace it.

Bosco Pinging in Solo
not sure why exactly it happens, but in solo if you ping a vein of something on one end of it, and then start mining it on the entire other end, bosco will go over and start mining where you started mining, instead of the spot you pinged
it's a small thing but it's annoying, like if you're trying to quickly mine out a vein of gold, then bosco gets in your way by mining not where you asked him to, but where you need him least. I think he should just start mining at the spot you pinged

As of right now, daily specials only need barley bulbs. This is fine, but its the fact that since the other brewing ingredients aren't used as often because they only make silly drinks.
To solve this problem I think that daily specials should cost other brewing ingredients alongside barley bulb, since I think it best remain barley bulb be exclusive for use in these drinks, since they are still not as common as the other ingredients and therefore retain their value and importance.

Idea to improve onsite extractions:
before the pipes fully break down have a window of time where the pipes light up in yellow and mission control says that the pipes are throwing a bunch of alerts and a breakdown is immident. during this phase the pipes would be repairable and any repaired parts won't fully break in the red lights fase, if all malfunctions are repaired then the red lights would be skipped

Overclock Concept, A sniping OC for the Subata

Balanced Overclock: Experimental Assembly
We have gutted your weapon and fitted it with new experimental internals. This allows you to focus your shots. A fully focused shot is highly accurate and deals massive damage, but consumes additional ammunition.

Hold to focus a shot
Focused shots deal massive damage and are perfectly accurate
Focused shots consume four ammo

This OC is similar to the Coilgun and M1000, allowing you to charge your shots for additional damage, but also consuming more ammo. A focused shot would deal x4.5 damage, for 54 damage at base, 67.5 damage with 1 damage upgrade, and 81 damage with two damage upgrades. This is enough to one shot a grunt if hitting them in the wp at any damage level. Consuming 4 ammo per charged shot leaves you with 3 charged shots at the base magazine, and 4 with T1B High Capacity Magazine.

The charge speed would be based on the ROF, with it taking half a second at the normal 8 ROF, and a full second with T3B Two Round Burst. When using T3B, if you charge a shot the burst will fire two charged shots, this is why the charge speed is based on the ROF, to balance T3B's double shot and innate ROF reduction.

This overclock would make the Subata function as driller HVT takedown weapon, being highly accurate and dealing big damage but with a lowered ROF. Overall Charging a shot would result in slightly higher DPS due to it taking the same time as normal shooting, but with a small damage bonus.

I could see additional downsides and upsides being added to make it lean harder into its niche, but overall I think the presented stats would be enough to give it it's own niche, and unique playstyle.

I could also see charged shots being added to the base weapon through a new T3 mod, making Subata a true Jack of all trades.

Add these to the game at some point; in-universe they're clearly in development and nearly ready.

It could just be a Backblade-only one, either based off of e.g. Hole Digger but with a split, or having three Company Standard s glued together. Even though those don't deliver on the dream of a triple-blade pick, the wording was ambiguous enough it'd seem like we just misinterpreted what was meant.

Give us the ability ( or make it an upgrade tier ) to grapple onto enemies. It makes the combat scout playstyle more viable and fun, And I really don't think this would affect the balance, since besides mactera enemies, you can always get to an enemy by grappling to the ground they are standing on. And let's be honest making scout a bit better against macteras is worth it if you can bonk them more often with a power attack at 20 km/h to the face.
In conclusion: me want bonk mactera

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I think promotion qualification assignments should only be doable with the class you're trying to promote. It'd be limiting, and would make the game harder for some people, but it would also be logical, both in a game mechanic sense, and also just a normal logic sense, since people don't typically get promoted for someone else doing their job.

Hello, I would like to suggest a new mini-game for entertainment at the station. I think that the idea of arm wrestling, for example on a barrel, would be great, for example, there were even separate arm wrestling competitions on barrels in the world. I think it would fit perfectly into the atmosphere of hardworking dwarves who measure strength in between jobs! And it can be a clicker system, or pressing the right keys in time. ROCK AND STONE! Thank you for your project! You are the best!

New/Alternate Assignment System
I dislike how assignments can be different between friends who want to play together. It feels pretty bad to be essentially punished for playing someone else's assignment, especially if you are the type of gamer who enjoys progression or only has the time for a few missions a week. I've been thinking of ways to improve the system for years now, ever since I ran into the problem when trying to play with my brother.

I recently came up with a new idea, a potential way to keep the random nature of assignments, while still letting the whole team play the same mission.

The assignments with randomly generated missions would have their icons replaced with question marks, serving as "hidden" missions. You can go into the assignment terminal and click to reveal and lock in the next mission. However, if someone else is in your lobby with a hidden mission, you can use the assignment board UI to "entangle" your hidden random missions. You can entangle missions for free between anyone in the server, and break the bond whenever, as it only will have an effect once everyone agrees to reveal and lock in their hidden missions. Entangled hidden missions will be assigned the same mission type when all parties agree to reveal and lock in the new group mission.

Once you lock in your mission it can't be changed, so players can't re-roll missions or affect which ones get assigned to them. For assignments with predetermined missions, like the first assignment in the game, the missions wouldn't start hidden, and would behave exactly like the current system. You could also reveal and lock in the next mission when you beat the mission before it and the screen pops up; it would just be a toggle to reveal it when you press okay, so if you like the current system, there would be literally no difference in gameplay.

This system would keep the diversity that the assignment system adds, while enabling much more team play over multiple missions.

Prismatic Shardcaster

R&D has made use of the useless crystals around hoxxes! The Prismatic Shardcaster shoots shards of a large crystal in a cone. The shards pierce enemies and embed themselves. They do a small amount of "crystal" dot IF the enemy moves.

This is a driller primary

Base Stats

Damage: 10
Crystal chunks: 6
Rate of Fire: 5
Blowthrough: 1
Spread: 6
Ammo: 600
Magazine size: 100

Mods

Tier 1:
Crystal Damage (+5), Crystal Dot increase (+2), Crystal increase (+1 crystals)
Tier 2: Ammo (+100), Magazine size (+50), Rate of fire (+2)
Tier 3: Overdrive (You can insert magazines immediately at the cost of rate of fire), Focused shots (decreases spread -1) Crystal increase (+1 crystals),
Tier 4: Ammo (+100), Crystal Damage (+5), Crystal Dot increase (+2)
Tier 5: Focused shots (decreased spread -1), Magazine size (+50)

Overclocks

Thorn Whip (Unstable)
Shards become a whip (like arbalest's slam line attack) and have a cooldown of 1 second. Enemies caught in the blast will explode in shards, damaging other enemies nearby.

• Thorn Whip
• Cooldown
  Electrocuting Shards (Balanced)
  Shards do electric dot instead of shard dot.
• Electrifying Shards

• 50 Magazine
  Radioactive Shards (Unstable)
  Your shards do radioactive dot (like the one from gamma radiation)

• Radiating Shards
  -50 Magazine
  -100 Ammo

Inspect
When you reload, driller inserts a comically large crystal chunk into a hole, then slams it down with his fist. If he runs out of ammo and tries to inspect, he raises his hand up, tries to touch the shredder, but pulls back motioning "ow " If he has ammo and he inspects, he throws up a crystal and catches it, and puts it back into his pocket.

Summary: heavy auto shotgun with funny dot (like roadhog's ultimate in overwatch 2)

[past otter]

new perk, increases speed of changing weapon, then add something else as a second bonus
new overclock, bulldog, quickdraw, increases switch weapon spead to bulldog by a lot and increases damage by a lot immediately after switching

[grave cloak]

How about having a multiplier (was thinking roughly x1.2 to x2) to stun duration when stunning electrified enemies?
just as another trick to add to the element, I like it when things have extra options to them, and I think it makes sense.

[hearty pawn]

idea: add something called like a party where a host could choose missons and stack them like a deep dive and can stack up to 4 missons and chose the haz for each one and if all goes well the people in the party would be awarded will any type of core.

Suggestion: Two new Engie Overclocks

Warthog: (Unstable) Slug Shot
"Through liberal shell compacting and special pellets, your shots are basically perfectly accurate and are packed enough to penetrate enemies, but it does take a hit on your ammo count and your shoulder definitely will struggle to compensate."

🟩 Spread is reduced to 10%.
🟩 +1 Penetration.
🟩 1.5 increase in damage per pellet.
🟥 -25% Max Ammo. (x0.75)
🟥 +100% Recoil

Shard Diffractor: (Unstable) Sentry Supercharger
"R&D was able to fine tune the frequencies of the Sentry's receiver to accept charges from the Ommeran within the weapon, allowing you to double its targeting and firing speed while shooting it, but this forced the weapon to take a harsh penalty in damage and fire rate."

🟩 Shooting a Sentry will increase its targeting and firing speed by 100%. (up to 200%)
🟩 Sentries shot at this way also are granted Heat that is added to each shot. (50% of sentry damage is added on as heat)
🟥 -5 Damage.
🟥 -25% Fire Rate.

Let me slap the damn elf with a mug.

[spiral torrent]

i have a suggestion for weapon and i know devs told us that they are not working on weapons as for right now. So why not give the opportunity to the community the create them. it could be like an events for all the mod creator or coder to create something that will be put after in the game. THE WEAPON-O-TRON or something XD. the devs could give some direction on what they what to be hade in the game, but the work would be done by the gamer. Im not a coder or a computer genius so i dont know how it works, its just an idea, but hey let me know what u think and why it could work or not

[neat field]

I'm sure this has probably already been here before, but here me out. Management is always talking about how the dreadnoughts will become something bigger and nastier if we don't deal with them, so maybe one day we could see what that looks like??? I think a massive new boss fight like that would be very entertaining, probably not as a mission type, but maybe a modifier as part of a new season perhaps??

[undone crown]

Whenever engineer shoots a nuke and there's a driller on the team, they should make a comment. For example: "Ooh, I like that."

[quick hornet]

Add an option to select multiple victory moves to be selected, but not all off them as with random. You can select your favs and one of them will play at the end of a mission.

Also, might be a little stretchy, a lot of work to be done, but it would be dope if you could customize your own bay and have your equipped arsenal on display in it. Also a lot of options for new cosmetics, like wardrobes, beds, monitor frames and keyboards etc.

[sick wedge]

Maybe making normal and rockpox bugs fight eachother, and you can pick a side, knowing that you have to deal with the winner later. Of course bugs should be buffed so they won't just eliminate themselves so you have to fight one kind

The lok-1's ai core has been outfitted with new software that's more capable of anger, we've set it up to enter a seething rage upon seeing any of the bugs of hoxxes, so that it will work harder in an attempt to destroy them!

[ancient hornet]

Minesweeper as one of the arcade games, if you were to see it in a mission it would be defusing a bomb from rival tech or an extremely old bomb from a previous attempt at mining hoxxes

[vital terrace]

Make it so you can use beer ingredients gathered during missions to call down a beer pod

[pliant mason]

Suggestion: New Machine Event - Rival Sabotage Beacon (R.S.B.)

Lore dump: "As we continue to fight the Rockpox, our Rivals have quietly continued their operations but with more limited success due to the ferocity of the infection and hammering of the planet. As such, we want to eliminate any possibility of two nasty snakes throwing a wrench into our operations, and have developed a special new weapon using the data from the thousands upon thousands of Data Cells you have recovered for us. One small problem, we've deployed the across Hoxxes prematurely and they require a Tritilyte Key to access them. They also couldn't land with any defense mechanisms without being spotted, so you're going to have to guard them yourselves. And yes, the robot buggers will swarm it the moment you activate it. Be ready. But don't fret, should you succeed those things won't bother you anymore in the area." - Mission Control

Gameplay: You have to protect the Rival Sabotage Beacon for several minutes, against all the Rival Tech can throw at it. The Beacon has a maximum health of 1000, but can be repaired by Dwarves if necessary, but it's better to simply blast anything that gets too close. This machine event gets a priority spawn if the seed has the Rival Presence mutator, and cannot spawn in an Industrial Sabotage mission. Upon completion of the Machine Event, it not only gives you an infused core but will also prevent any Rival Tech enemies from spawning for the rest of the mission. This means the sooner you get it done with a Rival Presence mutator, the better, and Prospectors become far easier to fight. Should you fail however, Rival Tech enemies will spawn in the mission from then on since they are alert to your meddling. If a Rival Presence mutation is present, it increases the spawn wave sizes by 50% and triples the Nemesis spawn rate.

Gunner's missile launcher overclock/modification idea:
Trickster targetter:
Somehow you managed to snatch the eyeball thing from engineers rifle, he's not happy but it don't mater cause he doesn't have any proper guns.
Effects:
Instead of the missiles flying at your crosshair a lock-on UI similar to the LOK-1 is active, only one lock-on is available at a time and the missile homes in on whatever target was locked when the trigger was pulled
If overclock: Clean
If weapon mod:
overrides unguided missile effect from overclocks
rocket barrage adjust functionality more similar to the LOK-1 rifle

[torpid mortar]

new mission idea:
Organic Sample Procurement

while DRG is known for its employment of technology in its lucrative business ventures on hoxxes 4b, its common enough for them to use organic substances just as well.

This is where you come in. someone needs to go down there and actually GET the ingredients. where?: glyphid flora gardens.

the bugs arent entirely carnivorous! To keep up such a huge swarm, they cant rely on just what is available skittering around.

Descending into one of the guarded gardens, one is met with a variety of plants that litter the cave. While usually culled from biome-available plants, some from other biomes can be found, having been transplanted here by the bugs . This, along with the actions of a bug known as the glyphid cultivator means you can find alot of hybrid plants here, having had their genes spliced by the cultivator. (Plants would be procedurally generated, with bits and pieces being randomized )

Guarding these would be glyphid workhands, front-heavy praetorians missing their typical puke attack but instead wielding cutting mandibles that allow them to bite through shields!

glyphid watchers prowl the area. these spitter variants will run at the first sign of trouble. Dont let them get away, or else your in for a mini swarm! The more get away, the worse the next mini swarm will be!

your equipment: Bag-vaccs are both blender and high-powered vaccum, and will allow you to suck up plant matter. fill them and deposit their recepticals on the heavy-haul mule. when you've sucked up 25%, 50%, and 75% of the garden a swarm will come!

the cultivator is like a giga-warden, buffing the bugs with pheremone cocktails, and runs away before you can kill it (until you hit the 75% swarm, it will no longer run when it gets to low health). Buffs change depending on the swarm, with some having higher health but others doing more damage, or being faster.

Call the pod, and escape the bugs with geneva convention violating bio cargo!

[solemn crystal]

A way for Engineer's turrets to auto-reload?

[fluid mountain]

new mission infected factory a mission where there is a factory which was used by drg to produce boscos and other bots such as betc and molly which now has been corrupted by rockpox on this mission you have to fight multiple infected bugs ,robots and modified bugs which now not only are corrupted by rockpox but also were modified by the factory to have turrets on them and some other drg tech . Dwarves get sent there to both defeat the rockpox factory and collect a computer containing the ai which originally was supposed to control the factory also there could be a new boss called abomination basicallt a bot/rockpox titan containing some of the tech creating a look of a deformed dreadnought

[real geyser]

New glyphid:

Glyphid Thumper

The glyphid thumper has horribly evolved and mutated to use sound as a weapon. due to its extreme biological differences to other glyphids, this horrid mutant of a glyphid has been shunned from the colonial nests, and instead seeks a life of solitude, searching for a mate. However, glyphids are willing to put their differences aside if it means vanquishing a common enemy.

The thumper is an absolute unit of a glyphid, with extremely bulky appendages to support its tank of a body. The thumper naturally deafens itself immediately after birth, so they have mutated sets of tiny, beady eyes as an alternative form of sense. The thumper has four holes on either side of its body, which have flaps connected with extremely strong muscle fibers. These fibers build up tension, and slam shut so hard a wave of sound knocks a dwarf back, stunning and deafening them for a bit. These lone glyphids do not hunt, they instead feed exclusively on the rotting carcasses and biological material scattered all over Hoxxes. Their unique method of attacking is not due to a need for offense, but a need for defense.

The thumper would be very rare, but its presence immediately clear. It constantly emits a slow and powerful chitter, along with the heaving and whistling the holes make as they constantly "breathe" in and out. As it is completely deaf, the dwarf can sneak up behind it, and it will only notice the dwarf if it is directly in its line of sight. It will attack, staying at range while constantly bombarding the unlucky dwarf with attacks while the rest of the pack swarms the stunned opponent. This attack is usually a last-ditch effort, so constant attacks will tire the glyphid. Between every attack, it will slow and "catch its breath" for around ten seconds. After ten seconds, it will wind up another attack for two seconds and unleash the deafening wall of noise. This can be easily avoided, like how a stingtails attack can be dodged easily. If in a corner, it will mean life or death to destroy the target as quickly as possible.

tl;dr
The thumper sends out shockwaves of sound that knock back, stun and deafen the dwarf. it is deaf though, so you can avoid it.

[tropic wadi]

Enemy that steals red sugar veins and has to be killed to get ur dose of funny sweets.

I was personally thinking of a group of small, fairly low hp and fast bugs that over the time of the mission slowly remove all red sugar around the map. Killing them is the only way of getting back all of the sugar they ate. Obviously they wouldnt attack players and would try to run away from you

[vital shuttle]

this is more of visual thing rather than anything else, but i would like to see this change. look of bismor is at least to me absolutely atrocious, though probably mostly because i have quite some knowledge about minerals and collect them. anyway combination of color and shape of main cluster of bismor crystal looks fine to me, it resemble pyrite, its the red spikes that makes it look cursed and i would say straight up ugly. what i would propose is replacing red spikes with smaller cubes at same or similar color as main crystal. all other minerals in my opinion looks at least ok, no complain there.

(in case image loads, not sure if it will allow because of perms, there is well crystalized cluster of pyrite)

[dusk basalt]

Some sentrygun synergy with the Lok1 smartrifle.
Shotgun as the overcharged shots and stubby's got the electric gimmick but Lok1's only OC that has any synergy is neuro lasso and that barely even slows down more than one bug at a time.

I suggest an OC that applies a weakness debuff while bugs are locked onto. This boosts damage from secondary damage sources like turrets and teammates while not boosting the damage of the rifle itself for balance.

It'd also make hawkeye a bit more balanced against defender system as the OC would encourage engies to take the one that makes the turret focus on the bug being marked.

[dusk basalt]

Or just buff neuro lasso OC to give scout grenade inhibitor weakness to locked on bugs so it's more viable.

Could do 30% weakness at full lock-on or something like X% per lock.

[high moss]

Allow Cave Leeches to target and snatch the engineer's L.U.R.E grenade- and when they start trying to eat it, they get a nasty electric shock and are killed instantly.

Vengeance on those dastardly ceiling bugs shall be ours

There should be an indication when cosmetics will conflict with other cosmetics. For instance, a lot of masks, and certain hairs make it so sideburns won't show up at all. In cases like this there should be a little x on the corner of them.

[frozen sorrel]

An idea I have for expanding upon the depth of Rival Tech would be the introduction of genetically modified bugs, allowing a broad range of branching concepts. My first thoughts on this will be presented in the list below.

-What I found the most obvious would be the amount of relevance it can have for what the Rivals are in terms of their actions: exploiting a planet for its resources and removing competition (us) no matter how inhumane it can be. It's all too easy to cover up those atrocities given the fact that Hoxxes is already a very hostile planet. I got this idea from my interpretation of the Nemesis' bestiary description.

-Modified enemies opens up a good degree of gimmicks even if they're derivative or something new and interesting.

-This concept can be used for a potential mission type by killing off breeding colonies established underground.

This is what I can generalize so far. I feel that this is something already thought about, and likely cannot be used as an official update because of the Lithophage Outbreaks having something similar, and the game already having those kinds of nuances and complexities. On the flip side however, this concept makes excellent modding material.

[chilly path]

New species that can act as new “common” bugs fought throughout the entirety of every mission, that can replace glyphid grunts, other than macteras. They could be inspired by real world species not yet in game like ants, bees/hornets, crabs, et cetera.

[still isle]

bosco's rockets should be able to partially crack the small lithophage meteors, since he has a limited number and they take a while to charge

[woeful verge]

When we press V or X next to someone who just drank a leaf lover we point at him and say "Here! An elf!" or something like that

[stray hearth]

The mole could really use a buff I think. With the coilgun changes, triple tech + overcharger has very comparable damage (and ammo efficiency) to the mole while also being more consistent and generally much easier to use, not to mention the burst damage triple tech provides. As such, my proposed changes to the mole are these:

remove charge speed penalty
A nice increase to the damage bonus per terrain penetrated.
Add a significant trail duration penalty (-2s or so)

The point with these changes is to shift the mole into a more single target focused OC, which is something the coilgun doesn’t really have. Maybe triple tech needs changes too but that’s another discussion

[compact kernel]

New hazard idea
True Darkness

same playthrough as normal with a twist, you only have limited flares, 4 as usual to carry expect they cannot be recharged, however getting a resupply recharges all 4 again and repeat the same twist

Scout’s flare gun reduces the brightness and intensity, same ammo as normal

Bosco’s light is normal in solo player, can be a frightening terror unless you disable him as your sidekick if you have the gunks

Miner’s light switch can be stayed on

[spark quest]

lloyd should salute when you rock and stone, just like bosco or hack-c

You should be able to gift blank matrix cores to other dwarves/your friends (Atleast around christmas) so long as they've been promoted, or even before since they cant use them until promoting

the caretaker leaves some debris behind that rolls away when the lid opens. The physics of chunks rolling away when it opens is ssatisfying to watch, so it might be cool to have the fight have some innately.

[wind grove]

Okay, this has probably been suggested before, but what if (and hear me out) we get free range of a region in hoxxes, available only for promoted dwarves. "But what of the new players?" Well, I've planned for that. You see, you can share a bit of your depository, (only gold and crafting resources) to ask another dwarf to help you for the mission. After the people who called you in decide to leave, you can either extract with them, or continue exploring. If you do extract with them, all the resources you mined in the caves beforehand will be transferred along with the share of the teams depository. You'd also be able to find other dwarves in the caves, and have the option to team up with them for as long as the Expedition (yes that's what I'm calling them) lasts. What happens after that is up to you. You could also encounter the usual random events, y'know, your tritilyte deposits, contagion spikes, meteors, that sorta thing. Yes, you can deploy with others. No, you won't encounter squads in a mission whilst on an expedition, you will see another button on the mule, hold on that to join the M.I.P.

Spinoff idea: Deep Rock Royale
Random cave generation links extermination mission templates into a network.
Do events to earn mods and overclocks.
Darkness gradually closing in as scout flares burn out.
Darkness doesn't hurt outside the 'circle' but you're stuck fighting bugs blind.
Only one drop pod to evac with.

Timeline wise, it could be after Hoxxis is mined for all its worth and the playable dwarves are those who haven't finished paying off their union dues as the company is pulling out resorces towards the next planet. Best not to get left behind.

[chilly path]

A new enemy species that can spawn with various player weaponry and maybe with some armor made from DRG equipment scraps. Lore wise, they are semi intelligent bugs that have hands/limbs able to pick up our gear and are able to figure out how to use it. Gameplay wise, they would be a unique ranged enemy that instead of just charging you or pelting you from a stationary position, would fire at you while strafing or hiding behind cover to reload, only charging when they run out of ammo. They could spawn with any weapon and rarely overclocks with some exceptions like c4, fat boy, and anything else too op to be in the hands of a non-boss enemy. I think it’d make for some interesting fights that would be challenging, fun and unique to any other enemy’s fighting style save for patrol bots with some differences like lack of flying, varying loadouts, and limited ammo.

[timber plume]

So I was thinking about The Mole after the Coilgun rework and figured it could use a neat utility buff/QoL, since triple tech competes with it's single target damage without much of a gimmick.
It now comes with a radar scanner!
Of course, a full 360 scanner wouldn't pierce the stone walls of the caves, so it's pointing out of the front of your gun.

While charging up a shot an invisible cylinder is put out from the gun, this cylinder is invisible and ignores walls. While this cylinder is touching enemies, they will periodically produce a white dot or wave pulse from their center that only you can see, similar to a radar. These indicators quickly disappear and will only appear again after a short delay.

The purpose of this is to make shooting at things through walls easier, but you cannot identify them and cannot perfectly track them. Due to the fact that the radar only works on things you are generally pointing towards, you'll be better off shooting at things you can hear or know the general location of, rather than blindly scanning all over the place for random targets.

[lyric coral]

An overclock for the wave cooker (or just something else entirely): a Localized Anti-Gravity (L.A.G.) generator that causes you to be weightless in midair for as long as the trigger is pulled, either for a higher jump or to cross a large gap. Or to hopefully shave off some otherwise lethal fall damage.

“Warthog” Auto Shotgun unstable overclock:

Pump Action Conversion Warthog OC

“Pump Action” Balanced Overclock

“The graybeards on board have been missing their long retired, out of date weaponry, so they came up with this to remedy their nostalgia. Converts the Warthog to be pump action with more damage and pellets per shell, but with wider spread, high recoil and less ammo.”

Pump action conversion [Gun is no longer full-auto, have to pump after every shot.]
More damage, pellets and added blowthrough [+2 pellets, +1 damage, +1 blowthrough]
More spread and recoil [x1.5 spread, x1.6 recoil]
Slightly less ammo and rate of fire [-18 Max Ammo, -0.5 Rate of Fire]

Recap of base stats with overclock:

Damage: 8
Pellets: 10
Magazine Size: 6
Max Ammo: 72
Rate of Fire [per second]: 1.5
Reload Time: 2s
Weakpoint Stun Chance Per Pellet: 10%
Weakpoint Stun Duration: 3
Recoil: 150%
Base Spread: 160%
Max Penetrations: 1
Pump-Action Conversion

Quick aside: The "+Automatic Fire" part of the T5A mod "Supercharged Feed Mechanism" will actually do something with this overclock. Holding down M1 will still make it automatic, but the pump will still have to be charged, effectively making the Warthog a "slam fire" weapon, not fully automatic. Neat!

Feedback is always appreciated. Cheers! 🍻

This may have been mentioned before, but maybe for future seasons make an option to disable seasonal features regardless of your progress in the battle pass? I’m currently level 34 in the battle pass but the sole reason I’m even trying to complete it is just to get rid of the lithophage events, the rewards I earn from the pass are just an afterthought to me at this point because I just miss the base game of DRG without the seasonal stuff❤️

New machine event: Beer barreling

”We abandoned a miniature brewery down in the mines! We need you to grab the last of that liquid gold and barrel it up!”

How it works:
Upon startup, barrels will pop out of the sides. Each barrel will have a papas pizzeria-style ingredients list on it. The dwarves have to one by one throw in four ingredients in the correct order to complete a barrel, and then chuck it into the machine. This repeats about 15 times, all the while a massive swarm threatens the team. The catch is, each barrel of beer you make you get a random buff. It can be absolutely ANYTHING, a temporary rerolled overclock, a speed/damage boost, even a beer buff. Each buff lasts for about 10 seconds, meaning if you are fast enough you can stack a shit ton of really powerful upgrades. This would be one of the easier machine events, like kursite or something. When you finish, the brewer dispenses a beer for each member of the team. The quality of the beer depends on your performance, so if 15/15 barrels were completed perfectly you would get the finest of stouts, an absolute glory to behold upon your mug. If you failed the machine event, it would serve a disgusting mug of leaf lovers, just to rub salt in the wound.

I think some enor pearls in the salt pits instead of just being in the wall, should be placed inside a giant clam like enemy, since they are pearls and the salt pits were originally a giant lake.

New mission type: Reclamation
Huge underground complex designed to mine and produce goods on sight, instead of shipping resources back to orbit.
Cave system built like 3 round levels on top of each other with tethering tunnels going outward. Floor is made of impenetrable slag, and whole facility is encased in steel casing, to prevent complex from collapsing.

Find a terminal on first level, hack it, avoid collapsing ceiling and access blast door at the center of each level. Some levels may contain extreme amounts of rockpox, but never more than 2 out of 3 per mission. Connect power cables (pipeline mechanics) to a power core, defend and repair the generator for lvl 2, and hack multiple terminals (like antenna nodes event) to access final vault (level objectives may be random order each time).

That's it... Floors above you have collapsed, it's pitch black and mission control is unable to contact you. At least you got to the prize, well... Yank out that AI core and at least get a look at it...

Suddenly cave around you lits crimson red for a few seconds, as you take the core out, revealing endless metal structures, emerging, curving and disappearing into the ground like neurons piercing a brain. Once again amber light comes on, but this time with ominous deep horn, rumbling through the caves... The complex awoken! Try your best not to die and at all costs, do not let it mechanical arms grab the core!

After defending for uncertain amount of time, you see a brief flash of white light, before ceiling collapses above, barely crushing you. Suddenly all lights go out for a brief moment. Then, a water droplet falls near you... A thunderstorm can be heard as rumbling of MOLOT heavy excavation ship shreds the soil above you into dust. Management authorized a use of nuclear warhead to blast open a way for extraction ship. MOLOT backs up, the gravity inverts, as whole complex was lifted from the ground, as you secure the core in zero gravity, and get back home for good.

A mini boss that’s a straight up tank would be cool. Could be rival or old DRG tech similar to Bet C or Omen. For the fight in my mind I imagine something like the Cabal land tank from destiny where it’s hovering and has multiple hover treads and other modules that can be individually damaged. It would have a big, high damage turret that takes long to turn and aim, and then a few normal turrets. Could be similar to Bet C where you can repair it after its death. Alternatively, could also be just a non-boss, heavyweight enemy for the rivals, similar to what the pretorian/oppressor is for the glyphids.

Not sure if this was suggested before, but...

New Dreadnought Variant: "Dreadnought Razorwing."

Upon breaking a cocoon, (of course with a chance as random as any other dreadnought spawning), the Razorwing lets out a booming roar. It spreads its wings, and takes flight.

Attacks:
Wingbeat (A short-range melee type attack)

Scale Launch (The dreadnought charges up for an attack for about 2 seconds, and flaps its wings. It throws spike-like scales all over the place, and the charge-up animation indicates where a gap in the scales are in order to dodge past them.)

Roar (It lets out a roar, knocking you back by a few feet. Can be dodged by finding cover.)

Appearance:

Looks similar to a Hiveguard, with its wings covered in spiky scales that resemble an Oppressor. The weak point is still on its abdomen, but is exposed during the entire fight.

New modifier: Abandoned

Mining equipment dots the arena, with drills, scaffolding and minecarts everywhere! This modifier would affect different cave structures differently, with long caves like mining and sabotage having long rideable minecart tracks down some sections, and large industrial sections in open spaces full of cranes, crates containing small amounts of minerals, and deactivated equipment like huge drills, turrets and whatnot scattered around. Some caves are blocked with gates which must be opened through a short timed swarm, and a lot of obstructions like scaffolding must be utilised to cross the caves. On rare occasions, you will be able to find a switch, which will bring a part of the mining rig to life. Turrets will activate, along with mining equipment and lights. The mining equipment generates a small amount of minerals, anywhere from 10-40 gold or nitra. There is a catch, with all the noise comes much more swarms. You can always take the silent approach though.

[cyan sigil]

Active Perk Idea: Night Vision.

While in an unilluminated area with no flare recharges (or flare gun rounds if you're a scout), you can press and hold F to activate this perk until your flares are fully recharged. During that time, the cave is fully visible. Cooldown time is 5 minutes.

I think some kind of golem enemy related to either the ommoran or the weird glowing rocks in the azure weal would make for a very interesting boss or enemy. Could also set up for a whole roster of different golem enemies, which would definitely be new and interesting for this game and would continue the pattern of a new roster of enemies every season. It would also make sense considering all the magic rocks on hoxxes.

[torpid mortar]

is it just me or does the subatas tier 3 modifier: blowthrough rounds feel a bit oddly placed? also, it would be nice to have a modifier for the cryocannon here instead, so heres my suggestion

blowthrough rounds-> cryostasis rounds:

hitting a target that is already frozen increases the time they remain frozen for 0.3 seconds per round, stacking up to a max of 3 extra seconds frozen before they thaw

edit notes: worded this too much like an overclock at first.

addtionally, the idea behind this mod is to keep tanky targets frozen while you team wails on em. oppresors and dreadnoughts thaw fast and have alot of health even with the 2x dmg buff from being frozen, so it would be nice to have a wepaon that does poor dmg but keeps em frozen so your team can maximize their dmg on them.

Over clock Utility capabilities

Gunner Shield - idea is the shield with shock nearby enemies and stuns them or deals damage
Driller - Maybe a deployable version of the drills or one that increases damage by alot/adds a bleed effect when using them as weapons
Scout - The Flare has a fearing effect or something like that
Engineer - The Turret has different gun parts so instead of assualt rifle could shoot shot gun or laser or rockets

I think it would be cool to unlock Hazard 6 7 and 8 after you get all 4 dwarves promoted to the gold 1 star border. Along with new overclocks and gear to unlock, effectively making a late-game DRG2. It would be cool if after you've unlocked haz 6/7/8 that new unlocks for weapons and utility would show up as well as new overclocks. Hazard 6 would introduce bigger swarm sizes while hazard 7 would introduce randomly spawning dreadnaughts during swarms and hazard 8 would be even more healthy swarms/dreads.

New scout grenade:

Hookswing Javelin

The javelin is a high-speed spear with a thruster attached to the base. When thrown, it propels itself forwards, piercing all enemies and dealing high single target damage. It sticks into any surfaces, and most importantly has a special interaction with the grappling hook. When you grapple onto a spear that is attached to a wall, you swing instead of accelerating directly towards it, like loader or Spider-Man. Swinging gives a huge amount of horizontal mobility, allowing the scout to cross huge gaps in a fun way. You have 6 javelins, which cannot be retrieved but stay in the walls indefinitely.

[spark quest]

buff the nemesis a little (like it being able to dig like the bulk detonator) or make its spawn rate higher (right now it's just 7%, maybe make it higher on rival tech modifier??)
in my opinion, the nemesis is a fearsome enemy, but, especially in a team, it's really not a cause for concern and it's not menacing like the detonator, which is ALWAYS dangerous

---

a custom mission option: apart from choosing the difficulty, you can choose the biome, enemies that spawn, the rate at which they spawn, the objectives, the modifiers, etc etc
it would be more of a sandbox mode and it would really be there just to mess around with the game, maybe "lore wise" it'd be a "training" simulation or whatever

Thunderhead Autocannon Buffs

I've been thinking for a while about how to buff the Autocannon, as while its good, it's current stats leave it as overall worse then the other options in all it's effective niches. I feel the following buffs would be effective for improving the base weapon, without drastically changing its effective use cases. I don't know if these are perfect, but personally think they would improve the overall feel and power of the weapon.

Magazine Removal
One concept I've though about is the total removal of its magazine. This would eliminate one of the main issues most have, that being the long reload, and necessity for larger magazine mod in T1 on most builds. This would further enforce the weapons sustained fire niche through buffing its sustained DPS, and it would have the secondary effect of increasing its build variety in T1.
This might be a little strong, but I feel with Autocannons current stats this wouldn't make it any stronger then current Minigun and Hurricane builds.
Note: this would Not add any other mechanic, this means no heat system. This gives it a very unique attribute that its current design alludes to, that being truly continuous fire.

Pt 1/5

[austere spear]

Pt 2/5

Accuracy System
One of the most interesting parts of the weapons design are it's twin barrels, with it's animation showing it firing them in succession. I though it would be interesting to tie this unique design into its accuracy system. Currently it has no change to accuracy while firing. I think it should act like the minigun, with it getting more accurate the longer you fire. This retains it's inaccuracy, but would allow it to be used at longer distances and on smaller targets (especially flying targets). To keep it distinct from the Minigun, instead of having it be based on overall spread, I think it should physically move the firing location.

Currently it has a large crosshair with a circle in the center. One would think to make the outer area slowly shrink thill they meet the circle, increasing its overall accuracy over time. This would work, but it would be very similar to the Minigun, I think a more interesting solution would be to split the crosshair.

Now it's the same outline but with two larger circles offset from the center, when you shoot your shot will land within one of the circles, with it alternating between the two. This means one shot will fire from the left, with the left circle showing where its spread will cause it to hit, and the next will will fire from the right, with the right circle showing where the shot will land.

As you fire these circles will move closer to the center, until they fully overlap, giving you the same size of spread, but now actually in the center of the screen, and both left and right firing in the same place.

Note: the maximum effective spread is the same, the graphic isn't 1 to 1 with the actual spread I think is good, and if implemented there would not be nearly as much space between the two at base.

If you dislike this, You can instead just have the width shrink over time, as its a similar effect, but without splitting the spread. The minimum width would be the height of the spread.

[austere spear]

Pt 3/5

Necessary Changes

With the above buffs, some changes would have to occur.

The first is the changing of the magazine downsides from Big Bertha and Combat Mobility. Instead of x0.5 magazine size, these OC's will instead be given flat ammo downsides. For Combat Mobility it will be a fairly small -110. For big bertha, the current -110 will be changed into -220.

These are larger ammo downside then their former counterparts (with x0.5 magazine being an effective -55 ammo), but now you can pick ammo with these OC's giving +220 instead of +110, so -110 gives the same overall power as T1 magazine did before. Also the base Ammo would be higher, further offseting the fairly small, but larger then before ammo downsides.

[austere spear]

Pt 4/5

Other changes

Even with these buff I think there needs to be a few changes to the mod tree. Firstly, change the T2C Lighter Barrel Assembly into a new mod. Having two similar but different ROF mods in the same tier is confusing and unnecessary, so changing the effect will better help builds feel more distinct.
I'm unsure as to what should replace this mod. One idea is to add a mod similar to T4C on the minigun, with it extending the time it takes for your accrued accuracy and ROF to decay. This is similar to the current mod, but a better competitor with accuracy and maximum ROF.

Another issue is T3 and T4. Armor breaking is an interesting mod for the autocannon, but it's hard to pick over increased blast radius, And in T3 its ROV VS Damage, which is weird since both the primary effects are increased DPS, so its very easy to calculate which of the two is outright better. I think swapping blast radius with the T3 ROF mod would improve both tiers, and help with both issues.

This then has the issue of AOE area competing with AOE damage, this isn't necessarily a huge issue, but I can see it being weird, and leading to a similar issue as before. I think swapping the T3 area damage mod with the T1 ammo mod would help to fix this issue.

The final issue is T5. Fear is incredibly powerful. On most builds it works fine, as fear has some good competition, but on one notable build fear is the best choice 100% of the time. To both make the disparity smaller, and to nerf the NTP + Fear synergy, I would change its effect to trigger on kill. So it would instead be when you kill a bug, apply 100% fear to bugs within 1m of the target. This still give a powerful fear effect, but make it's trigger later, to allow better use of AOE on grunts. It also nerfs the Fear+NTP combo without outright killing it, which is good in my book.
In addition to this I would buff T5A Feedback Loop, to +15% damage instead of +10% just for a bit more oompf.

[austere spear]

Pt 5/5

Stats
Finally the base weapon would need a few buffs. Firstly it would get +110 ammo to its reserve, to make up for the lost ammo from removing the magazine. And it would get a higher base ROF scaling to both improve its stats and to make up for the lost T2 mod. and finally it should take much longer for it's ROF and accuracy to decay, as currently it decays so quickly it feels like letting go of the trigger for a second kills all your accumulated ROF.

The new mod tree would look like this:

T1:
Increased Caliber Rounds (+damage)
Loaded Rounds (+AOE Damage)

T2:
Tighter Barrel Alignment (+Accuracy)
Improved Gas system (+ROF)
New Heated Chamber (+Takes longer to decay ROF/Accuracy)

T3:
Expanded Ammo Bags (+Ammo)
High Velocity Rounds (+Damage)
Shrapnel Rounds (+AOE Size)

T4:
Supercharged Feed Mechanism (+ROF)
Hardened Rounds (+Armor Damage)

T5:
Feedback Loop (+Damage when full ROF)
Suppressive Fire (+Fear on kill)
Damage Resistance at full ROF (+The name explains lol)

Stats:
Magazine: 110 > Gone lol
Ammo: 440 > 550
ROF Scaling: 100% > 125%
ROF decay: 100% > 50%

[austere spear]

Note: Alternatively, you could drop parts 1 and 2 and instead just go with parts 3, 4, and 5. As those parts are just messing with stats to improve build variety, and don't rely on the more drastic changes of parts 1 and 2. (Also dropping the ammo buff since that's just there to move lost magazine ammo to reserve ammo)

Cant take a beer with me for a mission pick me up!? What kind of leaf lover would deprive a dwarf from a pint of flintlock while he is staring down a charging horde of glyphs.
I propose that all dwarfs be allowed to bring a pint of their choosing to offer a one time only utility beer that makes use of their affects. Like being able to use rockwells beer to be encased in stone armor and soak damage for a short time, before bursting open and damaging all enemies around you. I call these special beers, "one for the road."
Take a worm hole beer to blink out of danger to a random place on the map which may or may not be safer. Take a frosty mug to mitigate fire damage etc. dwarves have gone for far too long with bellies not sated and its about time they band together and strike. ROAD POPS FOR DWARVES!!!

New machine event:

Generator Protection

An old DRG initiative placed special hydrogen reactors in various caves, to provide emergency power to any faulty drop pods. However, this tech is now outdated. The generators are full of highly volatile fuel, and if it is not burnt down, it could destroy a large part of DRG mining operations. Your mission is to protect the generator, and burn off all of the fuel. This is a loud and dangerous process, so you must protect it against a large wave of enemies for 3 minutes.

The generator has four components, which have a certain amount of health each. When one compartment is destroyed, it explodes damaging everything near it, and killing most grunts. Once all four components are destroyed, it will detonate and kill all four dwarves if they are near it, however the blast can be escaped. After the three minutes are up, the dwarves get a sizeable XP boost as well as a core infusion.

New engie primary:

G-01 Industrial Bolter

”Firing 30 kilograms of compacted steel per magazine, this weapon, originally intended for mechanical use, requires immense strength for the wielder. However, through some major modifications, it can now be wielded by the average dwarf.”

The bolter fires shards of steel directly into the flesh of anything unfortunate enough to be on the operational end of the device. It being a fairly straightforward gun, has a unique property. The bullets stick into anything soft enough, causing a slowing effect if enough is lodged inside it. The ammo is unique, as you load a block of steel into the side of it. The weapon has an ROF of 5 bullets per second, and has a magazine of 60 bullets.

It’s a fairly boring gun with a unique and helpful mechanic, and has huge potential through overclocks and the like, but I thought there aren’t enough rooty tooty point and shooty guns in the game.

[cerulean prawn]

Make skins and colours applyable to mobility tools and gadgets.
really makes no sense that this isnt a thing already, and i bet designs would be amazing

Personalizing each dwarfs room. it would be a dumb little detail that most people might not even see, but i bet it would open up the possibility of finding collectibles and decorations for your room.

Also, it could display 3-6 of your favourite weapons (to show off the skins and colours you got).

[molten timber]

cauldron skin for sludge pump

[real geyser]

Industrial ass sci-fi mining helmet with a cage light, wires and stains and whatnot, we have interstellar goon which is my favourite helmet but I think one which is much more industrial would look amazing

[supple gust]

A simple suggestion but I think could add a lot and that is every time they fail a mission instead of seeing mission failed it says "dirt and rumble" (also could be said by the dwarfs if they fail a mission I think this would be a pretty good opposite to rock stone as rock and stone is seen as success so I think dirt and rumble would be a great counter to it.

[woeful olive]

Make a kind of training ground in the lobby, where players can test their weapons

or skins for support and traversal tools?

(im actually not sure whether it'd be a good addition or not, that's why i put question marks)
((tho i would love to have differently colored LMG turrets so i know which are mine and which are someone else's))

[fickle socket]

skins for the drills
or have it match the armour colour you have

Add more OMEN modules. Like a module with three slowly-spinning equally spaced flamethrowers for the bottom module, or a minelayer module

[lucid hemlock]

Add OMEN modules that apply status effects, like pheromones or stun

[umbral urchin]

Unstable overclock for the corrosive sludge pump

Corium

‘Gives your sludge puddles radioactive properties’

Using the recovered reactor fuel from Space Rig 5, R&D added extra material into the corrosive sludge mixture and found that it leads to radioactive puddles. These puddles are larger and deal extra damage over time to all living matter in a short radius. The catch is that to prevent the corium from going critical, your rate of fire has been reduced, and the number of charged fragments has been reduced. The added material makes airborne goo a tad heavier, limiting its range.

Extra detail: puddles leave very shallow craters in the ground after dissipating, similar to how Gunner’s primary weapons can damage terrain. This is due to molten corium having temps up to 2800°C. Just a nice extra detail.

[undone crown]

The cube should emit strange sounds and cryptic messages.

[foggy nest]

Ability to apply colors to Utility items like Drills but not skins. (I know Skins would take more time and im fine with just colors.)

[real geyser]

New pickaxe set:

Clockwork

A fine-tuned pickaxe makes a fine-tuned miner! This pickaxe has gears and cogwheels everywhere, moving in sync with each other. This skin would have two different pickaxe heads, with one containing a clock which slowly moves, and the other having a large slowly rotating gear.
The handle is ornate, with wood and glass. The shaft has a rotating gear in the middle, with the edges extruding. The base is also ornate.

Idk how hard it would be to get moving parts on a pickaxe but I think it would look really fuckin cool to have gears on a pickaxe

[latent saffron]

Ok hear me out. So you know how Mission Control has voice lines for when you spam “We’re rich” and “Mushroom” well I propose we make a voice line for Mission Control for when we spam bismor as it’s so annoying lmao

[main leaf]

It has no relation to DRG but a cosmetic headwear that is the mask of Dagoth Ur. Id love that

[urban bison]

Make Oppressors harder to kill, just give them more hp. I usually play hazard 2 or 3 and I find it most of the time they are pretty easy to deal with. I feel like they should be tougher especially with a name like that.

[static hill]

Voicelines for pinging slasher/guard steeve. Rn it just calls it like a normal bug

[near glacier]

When ziplines are deployed, they are blazing hot. They should emit a modest light for 15-20 sec as it cool down. Illuminating caverns, Ropelight effect

[finite tundra]

A perk that lets you build pretty much everything faster, from pipelines, to cargo crates, to sentries, even repairing Doretta. Starting at 5% faster, increasing at increments of 5% per tier, up to 30%. Or at least gimmie anything at all to spend my perk point build-up on now that I have all the perks.

[oak wigeon]

random creature sizes that effect speed and hp. the smaller the creature is the faster it is and the weaker it is, and vise versa for a larger enemy

[heady horizon]

A new wave survival mode.The number of waves could be determined by mission length and the enemies will depend of the difficulty

[wild thistle]

^ Ok, but a modifier called "evolved" or something that caused enemies to vary in size a bit would be hilarious.

Evolved enemies would spawn at the same rarity as Elite enemies on Elite Threat

• Smaller enemies are faster and harder to hit, but deal less damage and have less health.
• Larger enemies have more health and range, but slower and easier to hit

just seeing b i g s w a r m e r would be funny

[agile spire]

Idk if this was already said here, but moving around in the drop pod before and after a mission would be cool

[spark quest]

in-game "jukebox", preferreably somewhere on the space rig. upon access, you could select each and every music track from the game and listen to it (it wouldnt change the space rig ambience though). the titles and artist would be displayed.

[deft seal]

This may have already been suggested:
For open online missions, being able to send distress/SOS signals, adding a marker to the game in the server list.

As someone more experienced, I'd absolutely love to be able to find missions in very sticky situations and drop in to bring things around.

[spark quest]

with the beast master equipped, you can press F to pet a praetorian (but not tame it) and it will make it smile, somehow.

the praetorian will then become idle for like a 2s, and the dwarf will shout "See??? They smile if you smile at them!!"

((this suggestion exists just because of that line "Today I am gonna smile at a Praetorian and see if it smiles back"))

Please leave the gift boxes in the lobby, they are A LOT OF FUN to jump on. Make them the texture of an ordinary cardboard box so that they fit into an everyday environment. Please add them for permanently!

[lilac dragon]

‘Twas the night before Yuletide, and on the Rig on that eve, Not a creature was stirring, not even a Steeve.
But don't be deceived, no one had died, the dwarves were tucked away on that Yuletide eve.
But something was about in the rig that night, and gunner was woke with quite the fright.
He crept toward the noise, slow and from afar, he peeked his head into the abyss bar.
But before gunners eyes was magic, maybe a trick! For standing before him was old St, Nick!
Together they laughed and gunner lost his fear, and gunner got his buddy's to share some Yuletide beer!
And so tradition was born that one fateful night, each dwarf would share story's of their missions and frights, all while drinking peppermint Yuletide spiced beer.

The end

Please add a seasonal beer for Christmas to DRG. ❤️

[noble edge]

Add option to turn on hitmarkers and hitsounds for non weakspot hits

Pinging someone with gold skin should have a small chance for your dwarf to say "we're rich! Oh wait it's you."

[cunning sphinx]

Think I remember seeing it somewhere in reddit but someone had the idea that there should be a modifier that makes cave leaches move, i think it would be cool to have a specific type of leach that instead of being stationary can slowly creep towards the players in order to try to get an angle to snatch them from

[vital raptor]

Drillers Drill should get the same color scheme as his rig (also other role equipment)

[short fiber]

Have a promotion icon system similar to TF2’s casual rank system where it’s designed to simply hold more colors and use the same icons.

[austere spear]

⚡Stubby Stuff⚡

Unsure about this tbh, but have been thinking about stubby balance and how to better enable generalist builds that don't rely on maxing DPS or Elec. So my question for you is what would y'all think of swapping T5A (Expanded Magazine) with T4B (Conductive Bullets) in the mod tree?

This would give you the option of doubling up on damage mods, raising the possible DPS and Ammo efficiency. It would also enable taking armor breaking and conductive bullets on the same build, which seems like a great option for generalists.

Another "issue" this would resolve is the staleness of the builds options in T4. Generally you always take T4A, unless building for AOE electricity in T5, then you take T4B. With armor breaking being almost totally relegated to synergy builds. With this change it would allow for further DPS specialization at the cost of range (Taking Conductive bullets over accuracy in T5). It would also indirectly buff Armor breaking, as currently you need one of the the damage mods in T4 to have completive damage, so letting you take it in T5, then makes armor breaking a better choice.

Overall I think it might be a good change, though it might hurt AOE electricity builds as they would lose out on the near universal +25% damage, and instead have to take WP damage.

So what would you think of this change? Would it improve your build? Would it make you consider a diffrent build alltogether? And if you think its a bad change, what could be a better change? Would moving Wp damage to T5 be better?

Thank you for reading <3

[daring saddle]

i really wish they added pickaxe upgrades that didn't involve the power attack like more strength or more damage or more range or whatever

more beers of the day would also be cool

[torpid mortar]

counter suggestion:
each special beer gets its own victory move tied to an achievement based on how many of that specific beer you have drank (100).

examples (each taunt starts with the dwarf drinking the beer):

wormhole special: after drinking, your dwarf pulls out their pickaxe, says " ROCK-" and disappears before they can finish rock and stoning

mactera brew: after drinking, your dwarf is quickly covered by flies that they desperately try to swat away, only to be carried up and offscreen by them as though they were nabbed by a grabber, yelling for help

burning love: after drinking, a ring of fire erupts around your dwarf and they start doing that one dance where they are pointing

arkenstout: you dwarf drops the mug, grabs their head and stumbles a bit, managing to say " ugh, my head-" before they freeze solid

come up with others im too tired to keep brainstorming for the rest.

[austere spear]

Idea for a electric focused OC on the Stubby.

** Clean Overclock: Overcharged Capacitors **

By adding an additional battery we doubled the electrical output of your weapon, because of this you are much more likely to electrocute your targets.
x2 Electrocution chance

Pretty basic OC, just +25%/+50% electrocution chance. I thought about making it a balanced OC, but ultimately any combination of stats just resulted in the equivalent of a clean OC, with a forced choice in one of the tiers. This OC would fare best with AOE electricity builds, but would also work with general use builds.

As for its competition with other OC's, it is outright better then the other cleans in terms of raw bonuses, but that's more due to the existing clean OC's being not that great in the first place. As for its competition with things like EM refire booster and Light-Weight Rounds, it seems to be around the same power as them. It might push LWR out of one of its main uses, that being a ammo supply for AOE elec, but Em refire already encroaches on that, so it doesn't seem like much of an issue.

I could also see this as a buff to Turret Arc, letting you take ammo/damage in T1 to offset its downsides, or to full commit to elec, and gain a 100% chance to trigger the turret synergy.

Thank you for reading <3

[fickle socket]

a new summon / pod for solo missions
like 5 is for resupply
maybe 6 could be a bosco ressurect recharge station
should cost around 150 nitra and give bosco +1 res charges
could be useful in 3+ lethal difficulties

[winter pebble]

while having both drilling speed boosts allow players to sprint while drilling so that half the time you wouldn't be drilling air cause you can't keep up with the walls that keep dissapearing

[strange heart]

sesional beer

[spark quest]

dwarves open their mouths when they drink or talk (THERE IS NOT A SINGLE MOMENT IN THE GAME WHERE THEY OPEN THE MOUTH)

[orchid timber]

Having a mission modifier where Molly may take damage when going to the pod so you'd have to escort her

[paper ferry]

Counter suggestion, just increase the current formula of drill movement speed (walk speed * 1.1 * Movement modifier) to (walk speed * 1.2 * Movement modifier)
This minor change would fix this issue. As far as I'm concerned, the "drilling air" will only happen if you aren't completely positioned against the wall when drilling, seems like the devs calibrated it specifically for that so this should fix it

[fast trout]

instead of bosco exploding when another miner joins, let it be retrieved instead

🛡️More Stubby Stuff🛡️

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Creature_Armor
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/"Stubby"_Voltaic_SMG

Buff the AB from T4C. Currently it gives +250% for 300% total. This results in 27 Armor damage at base, 36 w/ 1 damage mod, and 45 w/ 2 damage mods. This is not enough to even guarantee a break on grunt armor, relegating it to being effective on only a few targets. By buffing it to +550% for 600% total, you increase the armor damage to 54 at base, 72 w/ 1 damage mod, and 90 w/ 2 damage mods.

Overall this makes it a much more powerful pick, obliterating most armor in just a few shots, and gives it a big enough damage boost on common targets to be comparable to the other options. While this def wont make it better then the damage mods in T4, it will give it a stronger use case for it's niche and a wider range of effective targets, which is what it primarily needs atm.

This also sets it up for future balance changes. Meaning if it ever gets moved, it will fair better against its new competitors. Since Atm its generally the worse option compared to a lot of the mods on the tree.

[thorny ingot]

Don't know if it has been suggested before, but can you add a "don't care" option for the rockpox stuff? Sometimes I can't find a game if I have the season 4 box ticked and I have to change it and look for a server again. It's a really minor complaint anyway, great game!

[jolly plaza]

I have a complete anjd utter useless idea. But kinda fun id say, Make a latch in the lobby where you can throw things and other dwarves out of...Could be fun probally not worth the work if youre a leaf lover that is

[tired laurel]

Quite often I forget how many blank cores I have during a mission. Whether I want to do a certain event might depend on that (some of them I might do for fun but some I'd rather skip if I can't get an OC anyway). Currently you can only find out after completing the event. I think a little indicator in the "status" menu would be ideal, so it's not linked to something like using the key, which only the host can do.

[ivory lantern]

Mission Control should get increasingly agitated the longer a dwarf stays in the starting drop-pod, and then give up after like 7 minutes of commenting, and if the starting drop pod is still there by the end he should have a special remark

[ornate ivy]

a mustache and hairstyle which looks like the savage beard (dreadlocked and ornimented)

[manic phoenix]

extreme over the top suggestion that wont ever happen: extraction game mode where 3 teams of 4 dwarves have to fight over some sort of common objective and lots of bonus ones too. once you have contributed enough to your objective, you have to keep it from being stolen by the other teams then safely escape from a pod. only one team can escape as there is only one pod but each team gets a separate MULE so even if a player goes with the other team they wont get any of the resources (but maybe keep their streak, (IDK)) also sounds like something that could be in rogue core

[spiral torrent]

Pirate stuff, skin for weapon, armor, beards and new weapon, like a cannon for gunner and for the other idk 😦

[real geyser]

New Stubby OC:

Weaver Plating

”What’s better at catching bugs than spiders! That’s why R&D have put highly conductive plating over the outside of your bullets. This plating creates an incomplete loop, one which the conductive flesh of glyphids and mactera will complete. We’ve calibrated it to not shock any dwarves, but still be careful.”

Your first 6 shots from your magazine are highly conductive. Firing all six into the ground will activate them, creating a field in between which will shock anything that goes through with 3 spaced shocks that stun for 20 seconds in total.
+100% shock chance on conductive bullets, leading to guaranteed stun chance

-90% damage on conductive bullets
Only one field can be up at a time, fields will only work if all six bullets are embedded in terrain.

[light mortar]

Random ideas i had about newer enemy variants: Goo Exploder: As it walks it leaves a small trail of goo and it explodes into a puddles of goo. Mactera Firefly: Very bright mactera that illuminates surrounding zone it stays so you can notice them easier. They breathe jet of flame that creates a sticky flame on impact. More suspectible to be frozen then other macteras and Cyrocannon can put out those sticky fires. Spikey Preatorian: Its a tankier preatorian that walks slower and hunkers into ground and then start spitting spikes everywhere except its behind. (Similar to those spike throwing plant/fungi thingy you can encounter in the game) Its covered in spikes so walking over it or hitting pickaxe anywhere beside its back makes you take damage. Its more of a big walking area hazard then a ordinary bug who chases down to destroy you.

[real geyser]

New Scout secondary weapon:

”Afterburner” Energy Pistol

The Afterburner is by far the heaviest weapon in scout’s arsenal, as it is designed to do a high amount of long-range damage. The Afterburner is one of the only weapons not developed by anyone at DRG, but instead is exported across the galaxy. It is a true tank among pistols, and is considered the golden standard for energy weapons.

The afterburner is a heavy pistol, akin to a handcannon (but battery-powered). It is white and sleek, with a simple frame. It uses a heat system along with a “mag”, as the ammo is two standard AA batteries inserted at the top. Each set of batteries carries 12 shots before you need to replace the batteries. The projectiles it shoots are instant and blue, which deal radiation damage.

It’s a fairly standard pistol, which is not as heavy as the bulldog but heavier than the subata. The scout secondary arsenal is mainly focused on area damage, and therefore is not very accurate so this would fill that niche (and it’s also pretty cool to have an energy pistol)

[heavy pilot]

Add sliding down small hills because fall DMG sucks 😔

[honest fable]

Maybe an addition/tweak to the matchmaking system? I’m super into Monster Hunter and one of the great things from it is the lobby making. You can set up a lobby, title it, list what you want to do, and have people understand what you have planned. A common practice is round-robin. Which if someone doesn’t understand what that is, it’s going in a repetitive order, doing whatever mission each person picks on after another.

I think the inclusion of being able to title rooms and also search for rooms based on interest (such as mineral farming, exp farming, core hunt, deep dives, etc.) would only help the already cooperative nature of the game and the community.
I am aware some people already practice these things by listing it on Discord or when you join a lobby. But I think this could only help the process.

[upbeat crown]

A Jetty Boot mobile game would be cute :)

"Small" OC Balance Ideas

Deepcore Gk2 Edition
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Deepcore_GK2

Homebrew Powder: This OC just sucks lol, it results in a barely noticeable +10% DPS on average, but also makes you consistently miss breakpoints. Overall it's slated for total Removal/Rework. But if it did have to stay, I think making the range 100% to 130% would be best. This makes it an actual clean, and gives you an actual reason to pick it over other OC's. This is +2.4 damage on average, or +4.8 at max, a solid bonus that makes it worth using, even if other options are better.

New Stats:
Randomized Damage Bonus (Between +0% and +30%)

Compact Ammo: Solid Clean, but it's bonuses are too small to consider over other OC's. Boosting the magazine size bonus to +10 (+5 > +10) would make it a much more solid pick.
A bigger buff that would be nice, but would be a departure from its current design, would be to trade the recoil reduction for an ammo bonus. Recoil reduction is nice, but especially with T3A, its unnecessary and has little extra effect, especially when only x0.7. Also currently the GK2 has zero ammo OC's, so a clean that boosts ammo would be a welcome addition. +80 is a small but solid bonus, placing you at 440 at base, or 560 with T2 ammo.

New Stats:
+10 Magazine Size
+80 Max Ammo

Overclocked Firing Mechanism: Its a solid OC, but the bonus isn't as great as other options. A simple +1 to its ROF bonus would help to further boost its big DPS niche, and to make it a lot better stats wise. The recoil can stay as is, as its a solid downside for this OC.

New Stats:
+4 Rate of Fire
x2 Recoil

So what would you think of these changes? Would they make you change your Build?
Thank you for reading <3

[undone crown]

The popularity of the snow globe helm makes me want just a regular glass dome helmet without the funky decoration.

[paper ferry]

Update the floating barrel upgrade on the GK2 to actually state that it reduces max spread by 65%, a lot of people don't know about some of the benefit from this upgrade, and people with good aim like myself will just think this upgrade is worthless due to already having good recoil control

[spark quest]

a cosmetic like the snow globe but it is just a glass ball

[merry lagoon]

I generally have my HUD set up without weapon information because most of the game's guns already have ammo counts on the weapons themselves. I just wish the shield generator and satchel charge were numbered as well - they could have Roman numerals written on them to show how many you have left

[woeful minnow]

Suggestion: while playing Jetty Boot, if using the mouse button instead of E, I would like to have mouse movement locked so that I do not accidentally jostle the mouse and change my view of the game. I prefer to click the mouse button to play over pressing E to play, but I have trouble keeping the mouse stable.

[wise sigil]

being able to see your blank matrix cores during a mission or before a machine event

IDK how possible this would be but for the new weaponry skins would it be possible to use perk points to purchase levels? I know the goal is to get mastery with every weapon but some of them just aren't fun for certain people. This would allow a use for perk points once you have maxed out the perk tree and reduce a grind people might find tedious and boring.

Giving your pet bug a custom name, armour customisation and paint jobs. You could also maybe add a small weapon on the armour like a tiny turret also you could upgrade your armour and weapons for your pet

I wanted to re-request Seasonal Beer. Especially after Misson Control wants us to have something warm and spicy to drink after we finish the Yuletide assignment. I would love to see a beer for every seasonal event. During Octoberfest I'm always grabbing a few before running off to mission, and a few after. Sometimes a few after, just before a few before.... then I end up in the medical bay and have to start over!

A new mechanic:
Beer Credits

Need a new incentive to pick up those last ebonuts? Or perhaps just something to stack up endlessly and feel happy about? Beer credits are for you!
Beer credits are acquired by completing your secondary missions. Completing it grants one credit. These credits can be spent to acquire your favourite brews for absolutely free! Regular beer costs 1 credit, craftable beer (that you’ve unlocked) costs 3 credits, and today’s special costs 3 * barley bulb cost!
Don’t fret, you’ll still get your regular credits and XP from completing the secondary objective. This just acts as a new collectible, sort of like a phasionite for beer.

[normal aurora]

New Modifier
"Inaccurate Targeting / Beacon Interference"
All ressuply pods land up to 50 meters sideways from the marked calling beacon, up to and including into walls (in which case they make a sound or something to be found - but that's optional)
The reason for it? Either atmospheric interference, or the Dwarf manning the Pod Targeting device is drunk.

New primary weapons for each class. Driller should get an Electric based weapon that would be able to “chain lightening” glypids. ScouT should get a burst fire rifle (a battle rifle). Gunner I have no idea. Engineer some kind of rebar gun that can pierce glyphids.

A drilldozer head somewhere on the station after you rescued one and maybe a count that shows how many you rescued.(I really want to pet the drilldozer head all the time)

i believe it would be nice to have some way to see where the morkite is after some time, me and my friend the other day spent more than 1 and half hour on a extract morkite mission on dif 1 because we couldnt find any morkite and we were still missing 100, we looked EVERYWHERE in the cave, even with the scanner to look for hidden areas but nothing

[lucid hemlock]

Allow the player to scan for the closest primary objective (when those aren't already shown on the terrain scanner) from any deposit point. Even if the scan only yields a general direction it should be helpful.

if Mission Control is capable of giving us a quota of e.g. 400 morkite vs. 325, from orbit, it should be very plausible for them to scan for the rest of it to fill a quota.

New Engi secondary:

Voltaic Scrap Repulsor

The Scrap Repulsor, made by the same people who gave you products like the stun sweeper and the Stubby, this new cannon is electrifyingly good at taking down swarms with little effort! Firing an electrified ball of metal, screws and bolts through a highly-charged electromagnet provides enough firepower to take down even the strongest of bugs.

The Repulsor launches a single ball of scrap, which deals high impact damage on hit, stunning and electrocuting whatever it hits. It then breaks into many little scrap parts, the amount usually being around 7. each of these does much less damage, but carries the same momentum of the projectile. This allows the user to effectively “pierce” the target, hitting more enemies behind it with the lower damage debris.

The gun has an ammo pool of 200, and you have 50 ammo per mag. Each shot fires 10 ammo with no upgrades. It sounds like the sludge pump, but it’s cooler I swear

Hello, a greenbeard here, just from the start I have 2 suggestions:

• remove/open cover from sleeping pod in the crewmember's room, it is not ONLY cryostasis pod, rather just a bed
• add some equipment above pods in medical bay, just like robotic surgeon or similar stuff. Like we have it as preservation/operation unit (4 total in there)
• (might be true, but we have 4 players in team) add one more table to the right from bartender

Crispr Unstable OC Concept

Central gimmick is instead of a continuous stream of flame when holding down the fire button, you’re charging up a pressure tank to shoot a high power but instantaneous jet of fire.
TL;DR, Burst Damage Crispr

[torpid mortar]

expanding on this:

unstable crispr oc : "ZHARRHIRN" CHARGE STREAM MECHANISM

"are you not burning bugs fast enough? then turn to the relics of your forefathers for inspiration. based an an ancient dwarven mechanism originally meant to make their flame slingers work at all, installing this into your more advanced piece of equipment will simply give it a boost. like a great dragon, your CRISPR sucks in air, both pressurizing and mixing extra o2 into the fuel, and upon releasing the trigger dispenses all the fuel charged into the secondary tank"

hold down fire to charge the secondary tank (mini bar shown, will hold around half the clip). releasing will empty the entire tank at 2.5x your current ROF.
1.5x dmg boost to charged shot
pressurized fuel gives an extra 10m to your charged shot range
cannot swap weapons while emptying secondary tank
tapping fire without charging will belch out a mostly ineffective, short ranged, shotgun-like blast of flame thats juuuust enough to ignite a grunt without doing much dmg otherwise
movement speed debuff while releasing charged shot, think when gunner fires the autocannon

also yes, the name is a reference to warhammer fantasy, and means "fire horn" in the dwarven language of khazalid.

Instead ove beeing boots it could be a bubble that surround you. This bubble reduce falling dmg by X number AND if à dwarf jump in to it the bubble will slow is fall and negate is fall dmg. What do u think, i dont know if it should be on cooldown or charge but its an idea.

"One For the Road" Beer License

When joining an in-progress mission, if the host is under the effect of a Today's Special beer, late-joiners who have unlocked One For the Road will receive a toned-down version of the host's beer.
(i.e. the beer buff will only be applied once instead of twice)

While riding down in the personal drop pod, the dwarf will uncap a bottled version of the beer and chug it.
Could include voice lines such as "It's not draught, but it's better than nothing." after drinking to accentuate that the effect isn't as pronounced as a drink at the bar.
Should include a toggle somewhere (probably at the bar) where players can turn it off and on after purchasing if they so choose.
Must have unlocked Today's Special before One For the Road is available.

[ashen lotus]

Everyone knows the struggle with Molly.
You are full, you need it, your teammate needs it and suddenly everyone calls it and it takes either walking to molly, which can be challangin depending on the terrain and cave, or wait until you can call her and wait for her to arrive.

My suggestion would be a per player M.U.L.E.
A Terminal where you can customize your own molly with skins, maybe some upgrades.
What kind of upgrades you may ask?
There are Mutations like Low Oxygen, Lethal Enemies.
So higher O2 range, slight shield or life boost in a range within it!

So a terminal, like boscos to buy a molly. upgrade it, maybe even rename it!
It would be totally fine if the initial purchase for that personal molly would be high tbh.

[languid spire]

I know it's been said already, but can we pretty please get more loadout slots? There are 9 different combinations of primaries and secondaries -- let alone all the ways you can build them -- yet there are only 6 slots. More slots would really help justify buying more DLC outfits, too.

Hey, I've got an idea for tweaking the randomize loadout in the game.
Right now, when you hit the randomize button, if your weapon has a mod, it always picks a modded weapon.
It'd be cool if it could also randomly pick weapons without any mods on them too. Just for a bit more mix-up in the loadouts

[wicked trench]

I love DRG's cosmetic variety for gun colors and skins, but please please please move the popup menu below the weapon or something. Having it cover the gun display while I"m trying to decide a style or color is really counterintuitive imo. Perhaps move it below and make the popup horizontal, replacing the info icon.

While I'm at it, could you add an option to disable the automatic rotation on the weapon when picking a scheme/color? Sometimes I want to just view it from a certain angle and don't like the view moving.

Additionally: overpressure (more than 5 seconds) will break your weapon, causing 1) slot locking, 2) thermal damage for you and everything other in 3m radius, 3) burning to death. Funny, but logical. Also that's a joke.

[languid spire]

Rework suggestion for Re-Atomizer:

Currently, when you shoot at a target, it spreads its current status effects to every other enemy hit behind it, assuming you hit multiple enemies with the same shot. This makes it extremely precise to use, and there are very few status effects that can't be easily spammed by their original sources, anyway, meaning its use cases are niche.

My suggestion is to make it so when you shoot an enemy affected by status effects, those status effects are stored in the Coil Gun and will then apply to every enemy you hit with your next shot (and only your next shot). This allows you to actually pick and choose what status effects you are spreading and to what exact targets.

For balance's sake, it should probably only grab and store the status effects of the very first enemy in the line you hit. It might also be reasonable to make it so the storing and/or application of status effects only happens on fully charged shots, if you don't want it to be that easy to use.

[austere spear]

"Small" OC Balance Ideas

M1000 Classic Edition
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/M1000_Classic

Note: The M1K has two stats that effect the time to use a focus shot, the Charge Speed and Focus Shot Cooldown, at base it takes 0.625 seconds to charge a shot, and then there is a 0.25 second cooldown before you can charge another, for a 0.775 second total time when continually charge shotting, for a ~1.14 Charged shot ROF.

The Charge Speed is 1.6 at base, with the time to charge being equal to 1/Charge Speed
The Focus Shot Cooldown is equal to 1/Rate of fire. Notably, this means Hipsters ROF bonus also improves Charged shot ROF

Active Stability System: A solid OC, but lacks the oomph to set it apart from other Overclocks. This partially stems from its miniscule bonus to charge speed. It adds ~19% or 0.31 to Charges speed (1.6 > 1.91) for a Time to charge of ~0.524 Seconds, saving you ~0.101 Seconds. This bonus is barely noticeable, leading to its only actual bonus being the removal of the movement penalty when charging, which while solid, is not strong enough to make this overclock worth a downside, especially with the opportunity cost.

One solutions to this is to increase the bonus to charged speed. A bonus of +50% or +0.8 seems big, but actually still has a fairly small effect. This bonus sets the time to charge to ~0.417 seconds, saving you ~0.2 seconds over base, increasing the Charged Shot ROF to ~1.5. This isn't a huge bonus, but it would make the effect on charging speed a lot more noticeable, and cause it to have an actually measurable impact in game, overall making this OC a lot more unique and powerful.

Another solution is to drop the reload speed downside, making it a solid Clean OC. Either solution would greatly increase the strength of the OC, and bring it into line with the power of its peers.

On missions with Molly, she can take damage and shut down like Hacksy during extraction. (Hazard 4-5 only maybe?)
Low oxygen extractions where everyone actually has to stick close to Molly instead of drilling back and sitting on top of the pod for 2 minutes are way more fun, and being required to actually escort her back would add some more spice to extraction.

New modifier:

⚠️ Weakening Forces ⚠️

”We have no clue why, but these caves are just naturally dark, gloomy and strangely unmotivating. Try to pick yourself up at all costs, and remember you have a job to do.”

10% of the damage you take is turned into permanent damage, which cannot be healed back. However, taking a resupply erases the first 50% of your permanent damage, meaning you can keep it under control even if you do tank a lot of hits.
Permanent damage has a cap of 80%, where it will no longer increase. Your dwarf will start saying various voice lines at this point, while acting tired and depressed to an extent, and sometimes will snap at other dwarves and just ignore them.

New biome:

Sulphur Wells

A grim yellow paints the terrain of this land, with countless sulphuric spouts, pools and gasses everywhere. Remember to wear your steel-toed boots, the pools here will melt the shoes right off your feet (and probably take them with them)

Believed to be the origin of many strange phenomena on Hoxxes, the Kursite infection originates from this area. Huge veins of pure sulphur can be found lining the walls, which will explode into a gunpowder-like chain reaction upon being continuously shot or ignited. Highly concentrated brimstone crystals can be found, with a deep orange hue emanating from them with trails of sulphur leading up to them. Lighting up the sulphur leads to a very loud and bright explosion from the brimstone.

All in all, the Sulphur Wells are a heavily explosives and acidic themed biome with shit tons of hazards that could be good or bad for any roaming dwarves.

[winter pebble]

New Driller Primary
Name: W4R-CR1 Mark 3
Appearance: A bulky black rifle with a box magazine and a bunch of tubes and a tank of pesticide.
Functionality: A magazine shotgun loaded with slugs, each slug has pesticide which gets released upon entry into target. Upon hitting an enemy a new status effect similar to heat is applied to the bug, the more full the effect's bar is the more DoT to bug takes, once full the bug also starts staggering.
Unique modifications:
BlackHive Breach: Replaces the pesticide with the immune bodies of a different species of insect which evolved a much more deadly immune response. The effects of this modification would be the removal of the pesticide's decrease overtime and the DoT, instead replacing it by having the meter slowly fill, once full the meter resets to almost empty and staggers and deals a large chunk of damage.
NerveFrier Neurotoxin: A specialised neurotoxin which damages the friend or foe part of an insect's brain. Upon filling the effect's bar up the bar no longer decreases and the insect begins attacking everything around it. The DoT is massively reduced.
Multi Payload Delivery System: Makes the gun shoot flecettes, increasing the delivered pesticide quantity and increasing the blowthrough effect.

-the drop pod isn't recalled, you must make it back to the starting cavern when you finish

Or, alternatively, carl had a pet Praetorian, that sometimes gets mentioned.

And after facing bugs all the time, i do wonder if we can fight other enemies like space goblins, space elfs, space humans or space orcs. Maybe some "corporate competition ". Maybe even malfunctioning robots who disobey their dwarf master and took control of every mining facility "by mistake".

Overclock Suggestion.

Weapon: Autocannon
Name: Canister Shells

The idea for this overclock is to change the type of ammo that the autocannon uses from explosive shells to fairly large shotgun shells.

Each shot from it would shoot blasts of up to 5-8 pellets, which could be great for shredding enemies up close, but they have a fair amount of spread to them, so it won't be a great long range overclock.

I would just like to see some more overclocks that really change how a weapon is used.

perk: dwarven escape [inspired by tf2's escape plan]
+increase movement the less health you have
-caps at 25% hp with a 75% move buff at max level, movement increase reduced by 10% on rich atmo modifiers
-decays over 60sec, or over 100sec at max level
+decay is reset upon receiving healing above 80% hp

alt (courtesy of @austere spear):
+25% movement for 5sec (10 at max) when taking health damage, getting damaged again resets the duration
+50% movement instead if taking damage below half health

[plain wagon]

my take on the sandwich concept:
takes the nade slot for all classes
get 5 max, taking an ammo upgrade decreases your count down to a minimum of 1
provides 10% health on eat, requires 5 seconds that cancels if you sprint or take damage, will resurect yourself from iron will (maybe with an acheivement for doing so called iron snackbreak and one called last meal if your eating gets interrupted during iw)

alt, based on @spiral torrent 's concept:
3 seconds to eat instead and provides 40%(maybe) decaying health with 15% damage resistance. will not res from iw, but will extend the duration

not my best concept, but it's my take on it

Idk how it could fully work, but i had an idea for a gun.
A sound gun for scoot.
It could have for upgrades, some push hability, armor shred, Confusion hability and more. The gun could be à battery type of weapon, that way we could ad an other option. By pressing (R) you could change the way the gun shoot. First mode would be a short range cone shape one, and the other mode would be a long range single target mode.

Another small suggestions (type: visual)

• add to Engineer's suit a small chestplate. It looks a bit underprotected. 🤔

[plain wagon]

an armorset based on the rig class each dwarf wears

something fox themed for scout, mole themed for driller, owl themed for engi, fish themed for gunner's baracuda

and, this is pushing it, but maybe a matching helmet, but it wouldn't match if the helmets weren't class specific, and it'd break the cosmetic philosophy if they are (although let's be honest, are we really going to complain about being allowed to make an owl headed fox? leave the helmets unlocked and let us have fun :3)
however, the helmets would be the easiest to design. fox head, owl head, a mole snout, not certain for gunner's helm tho

as for the general armors, it'd be easiest to get the defining characteristics of the animals and work the rest from there.
driller's would have wide claws around the wrists, imitating a mole's
scout's would have something resembling a tail, with paw prints on the boots and maybe clawed paws for the gloves
gunner's would be a finned suit and a scale pattern
engi's would have layered feathers and something done to resemble wings on the arms, with taloned boots. maybe the bulk of the feathers would just be a frill or cuff around the collar

UNSTABLE OC; DWARF WHIP

"teammates too lazy? teammmates not overworked enough? then take the position of team lead with the dwarf-whip rubberized energy shells! one shot from this (wether to a dwarfs body or his gun,doesnt matter) will certainly kick them into gear. not really useful for much more than pissing off your coworkers though"

firing at a dwarven ally will give them a temporary 25% dmg boost for 5 seconds
spread is 15% wider, only need one pellet to hit to activate the effect
weakspot stun chance +15%
gun only deals 50% less damage to normal enemies
rubber shells make the magazine harder to load, +30% reload time
cant "motivate" a coworker again until 10 seconds has passed

[agile palm]

Might just take a 50% damage decrease in general. Though I like the idea...

Also tempted to say add a movement bonus to give it the full Disciplinary Action treatment. Though the basic idea works already.

Also also feels like some actual interaction with Turret Whip would be called for buy idk what

[latent thunder]

A new drone type. The "B.E.A.R.", a ground-only unit that draws bugs to it instead of flying to them. It can't fly, so it has to get around like Molly. BUT it can pick up secondary objectives like Bulu caps, fossils, etc. As a drone, it cannot die, but it can be seen as an option to change one's play style, and can come with it's own cosmetic skins.

"Attention miners, we've got some new equipment from R&D, the Biologically Engineered Aggressor Repeller, or B.E.A.R. for short! It's a new drone meant to protect you when you go digging, and it can help collect those hard to reach secondary objectives, just in case you forgot how to be creative."

[pearl sinew]

rework/fix bio-mass converter on the shard diffractor would be nice, how it actually works isn't clear and the description seems wrong, doesn't seem to work properly, bugs out regularly etc.

[latent thunder]

The Strengths of B.E.A.R.
Taunts enemies (Awesome for solo runs)
Collects Secondary Objectives (In case you can't reach it, or would suffer fall damage and collapse if you tried)
Deals a LOT of damage (A lot more than Bosco)
Illuminates like Bosco via a spotlight
Traverses the environment like the bugs
Can revive infinitely
Usable in Solo or Session with only ONE friend (Maximum of 2).
Classes can place their utilities on it! (Engineer = turrets, Gunner = Shields, Scout = Flares, Driller = Explosives)
Can fire ballistic missiles, incendiary salvo, cryo salvo, or EMP (Based on talents)

Weaknesses of B.E.A.R.
Cannot fly (Traverses like Molly)
Susceptible to debuff stuns like Freezing and Rockpox
Relies on Melee attacks
BULKY, so it can visibly get in the way... Like bosco does already...
(best reliability in solo mode)
LOUD (The roaring and growling can be heard from a long ways away)
Cannot carry your minerals or large gems. (Bosco gets a point for this)

Fun parts of B.E.A.R.
Cosmetics:
Polar (White glossy body with armor colored in shades of the player's choosing)
Onix (Dark grey/black with a matte finish)
Obsidian (Black or REALLY dark grey with a glossy/shiny finish)
Tribal (Clad in feathers and hide armor)
Clans of old (Looks armored like a viking with light brown fur and it's back is covered in white like snow)

A mod for the sentry turret at tier 1:
"Mars" gun platform - "An experimentall sentry turret with a .50 caliber cannon instead of a machine gun. Less ammo and rate of fire, but significantly more damage and an area of effect addition."

It would be the third sentry variant to choose from. It'd behave like any other sentry, except its gun would be replaced with the gunner's autocannon with a single barrel. However, it'd be inferior to the autocannon, because it'd have less ammo and half the rate of fire (I mean the lowest rate of fire, not the highest).

[azure marsh]

A Turret for the Engineer that is mobile would be cool, like give it treads or make it similar to bosco

sentry t1 upgrade: opportunity system
"inspired by old exploration rovers, this sentry can follow you around. unfortunately, the extra parts to make it mobile cut into where some of the systems would be for the gun, so we made some adjustments"
+sentry now follows you, holding r calls it to your location and holding r again retreives it
+faster deploy and build time
+brighter onboard spotlight that turns off when yours does
-less firerate, only one barrel (or less accuracy (yes your sentry would be able to miss sometimes), targeting system isn't callibrated for horizontal barrels)
-less on board ammo capacity to make space for the treads

[fleet pilot]

They should have 2 sales for the daily trade, one for buying materials and one for selling. Its a little annoying when I have over 2000 croppa and need enor pearls and magnite but the games most of the time just wants me to sell those materials and wants me to buy croppa or jadiz.

A formalwear themed armor framework either as a DLC or for a future event.

Game needs a Foreman mode where the host can enable and disable permissions of those who join.
Extraction, MULE, Friendly Fire
Foreman Only: Only the foreman(host) can use this function!
Friends: The Foreman and his friends can use it (Requires friends registered on the platform DRG is played on)
Everyone: Everyone can use the function.

There also needs to be a way to kick people regardless of what point in the dig! So I can kick someone for rushing the objectives!

Needs a demotion/demerit function too.
And notifications as to who is doing the objectives! So I can see who it was that delivered the aquarqs or who rushed the refinery!
A demerit means they'll be blacklisted and given a negative mark that won't leave until they are obedient. This means if they get grouped up with you, they'll be auto-kicked if you kill them with friendly fire! It'll even say "FIRED" for the idiot who disregarded the foreman's orders! Give the foreman/host some more power. I don't like joining other people's digs, and I seem to get bad luck with morons who can't understand simple instructions!

Rework Compact Rounds OC to a different overclock (My idea would be a cluster grenade OC variant) since RJ250 exists, why would you use something that does less than RJ itself?, yes +25 damage but that has no meaning since Incendiary mod exists as well, and you can Rocketjump and have more ammo with RJ. I think that'll be a fun change in my opinion.

[merry lagoon]

A new warning modifier for missions: “Logistical Issues”. It makes resupplies cost double

[rough vector]

Idea for a new mission: the bio fuel contract.
We must lure the bugs in a big bio refinery facility, where every bug will be killed and their corpse converted into bio fuel. We can lure the bugs by using pheromones, but this will attract also the attention of monster plants or other predators who eat the space bugs. We must defend the position and kill the predator, so the trap can proceed to lure more insects until is full. But of course this would require to do the operation just one 1 time and we must be prepared for every wave/rounds until the silos is full.
I suggest to use this actual bug trap as reference for the possible "space bug trap"
Note: imagine inside the silos there is actually a complex system of buzz saw and pumps capable to smash and convert the bugs into the fuell. But since is very big, Dwarfs may go inside the facility to fix the possible leaks or malfunction

I suggest adding a 'Master Lootbug.' If enough Lootbugs are killed, it could randomly spawn to defend its offspring. This would lead to a not-too-difficult boss fight, and if the player wins, they would receive several random minerals, but in larger quantities than from a regular Lootbug.

[drifting holly]

I'll suggest making skins for the High-Intensity Flares. The color of the light won't change, just the flare itself has a different look. Like a flare with Christmas lights around it or a flare with the Infected skin

[vale cosmos]

Vodka for scouts

[agile palm]

Kinda late to this discussion, but my brain IMMEDIATELY went to another game when I saw this idea and it made me want to see, although admittedly it would be kinda difficult due to the fact that you might need like a 5th tier of upgrades for turrets for this to work. (dunno how I miscounted them to have 5 tiers instead of 4)

Laser or Elemental turrets

Edit: Or I guess instead of a "5th tier" it would be more like an overclock. Mostly because I could imagine like turrets for different elemental damage types. a Voltaic turret that reduces damage but adds electricity, an Explosive turret that would fire AoE grenades but shoot slower, ETC. And that could then be combined with Hawkeye or Defender for different benefits

OR at least I dont' think it fits as a Tier 4 option since T4 seems to be specifically Aim Modifiers. Defender changing the aim to a cone in exchange for more firepower, and Hawkeye changing it to giving you more range and a Wrangler option. While a hypothetical Tier 5 would be Projectile Modifications specifically

[armor set: S.B. dreadnaught hunter] alt: biased survivor
an armorset based around the survivorship bias, a thing wwii engineers faced when armoring fighters and bombers that returned with wings and tail shot to hell but little damage around the engine and cockpit

"the interns at R&D put together a line of armor based on injuries of dwarves in the medbay after dreadnaught encounters. safe to say, they're interns for a reason"

• heavily armored limbs
• very light, if any, armor around the torso
• helmet is more of a mask with hood, "to save on weight and maximize protection, the interns putting this together took note on how there are no head injuries after these vicous fights, but the victim's faces take a beating"
• default color could be yellow and white with black stripes on the edges of plates, (maybe) with a crash test dot on the chest (maybe) that goes away when equipping different paint

[drowsy goblet]

2 suggestions that just make a lotta sense to me:
Weird how this isn't a thing, but there should be a chance for lootbugs to drop crafting minerals specific to the region you're in. It would fit better with the miners manual entry of them.
Another thing, in solo refinery missions, when a pipeline is damaged, you should be able to ping the pipe and Bosco repair EVERY broken segment of said pipe, same as how he builds every pipe when you ping the frame. It would save a bunch of time in haz 5 missions when you don't have time to ping each individual damaged segment.

[harsh elk]

It would be great if in the pickaxe customization menu there was a drop down for equipping a completed pickaxe set.

[torpid mortar]

armor part swapping.

nothing too drastic i think, but breaking down the armor sets into 6 basic pieces (torso, 2 arms, 2 legs, backpack) would give them a LOT more mileage when it comes to custom dwarf wear. you could even make asymetrical designs with this.

plus it would give the community some other things they've been asking for, such as

1. cool looking arm tatoos for sleeveless armors via the roughneck pack.

2. "more" armor sets in general (as mxing them up would essentially make a new armor set).

3. armor sets where you cant remove the sleeves now can simply have the arms be swapped to sleeveless ones.

we know this fits in lore too via the dawn of the dread pack with dwarves being rumored to sneak forbidden biological bits (glyphid corpses) onto the rig to make their own armor, so its not a big stretch to say the dwarves have been mixing and matching pieces of their current approved armors.

[foggy zealot]

Make assignments save progress when aborted, the grinding vaccum would instead be filled by tons of more assignments.

[real geyser]

New armour set:

Space Wizard

The space wizard set is a silly lookin one, with a purple flowing robe and a majestic hood. Just because magic possibly doesn’t exist on Hoxxes, why not dress like it does? Besides, it would be funny to go around killing bugs donned in a full wizards robe. There would be an alternate colourable version as well.

Please make the gunner shield defend against area damage. The most powerful attacks in the game use area damage and are the attacks that you want to be shielded from the most
(My suggestion is making it so that people within the shield are immune to area damage, but I don't know how exactly it works)

Also, make it so that barriers from the caretaker and repulsion turrets ignore people inside a gunner shield.

Shellbacks and worms are fine though

[stray thicket]

Give thunderhead a cryo round overclock. Gun sucks at actually hitting things to do damage anyway might as well give it a niche as cc application at the cost of direct damage. Would be nice for more than two classes to have cryo.

[latent thunder]

Simple suggestion: Third Person mode. This would be an option you can toggle in the options.
Why do I want this? So I'm not the only one not seeing my cosmetics. It could even come with toggle options.
Space Rig only: Only lets you see in third person on the space rig.
Digs only: Only lets you see in third person while doing digs.
ALWAYS: Lets you ALWAYS play in third person.

And third person options.
Classic: The camera is behind your head, so you see from a short distance behind.

I know yuletide is almost over but it'd be for next year: less agressive responses to getting hit with a snowball. The use of friendly fire lines can sometimes fit but come on, have some laughs and playful "Oh I am getting you now" instead of "watch where youre shooting, moron!"

Doretta rescue mission anyone? We deploying to previous team location, placing mobile repair station and escorting restored drilldozer to cargo container which has been used to deliver it there. We waiting for heavy cargo lifter to haul it up to space rig, then escaping on called droppod.
And that way, we paying the respect to old girl, which helped us before. (also, it is commercially not optimal to waste heavy machinery)

I think the path must be (virtually) pregenerated, the core will be in drilled out state, no hearthstone, no idea of the head, to bring ours or it should be spawned there. Refuel event will be final task before departure, and the fuel onboard shall be enough, we just driving back, no drilling this time.

Hope no one came across this idea before, if they have, feel free to delete the post.

Another use for Nitra other than ammo, which may also function as a way for devs to test out new weapons in a 'lore-friendly' beta test of sorts, while involving RnD directly into the game, maybe even with another character from RnD that radioes in alongside Mission Control:

Field Testing:
For the price of 100 Nitra a special pod can be called down containing a rotating daily or weekly or monthly batch of experimental weapons/utility gear/equipment /grenades (maybe one slot for each?) which the devs may be considering to add into the game but havent made up their minds yet. This would enable changes into gameplay and add an overall variety to it, involving the players in the decision process to add more into the game, enriching the experience overall. The weapons would replace the category of equipment in the player's inventory, and come come with a full load of ammo, and the player could choose to discard them once they're depleted and revert to their previous weapons or not.

In the mission completion screen, players can then give a rating to said experimental equipment.

The current batch of equipment would be visible on the space rig maybe through its own terminal. On said terminal the players would be able to see what the equipment is, what it does, what global ratings for said equipment is, and the amount of time said equipment will be around before they vanish*probably not for good, if the devs decide to bring the equipment back permanently!) and the next batch is sent in for field testing.

In order to keep things evenly between the classes, the field testing pods would have something for each class, or maybe it would be a divided into Weapon (primary or secondary), gear, equipment or grenade type for each class.

A reward system could be implemented to encourage players to use this, since they'd be spending nitra for this over using it for ammo

[red wasp]

Can you please make an overclock for the Collette wave cooker where it could shoot a ray of focused radiation. Sorta like fat boy for the engineer. Deplete the ammo and make it overheat each time but it is very powerful against stronger opponents as the drillers secondarys are kinda useless in my opinion when we have slide pump,crspr AND the freeze gun (forgot thr name)

Also a chance for a full M.U.L.E to appear in salvage operations. I find it weird rhat it technically is a fallen team but we get mini M.U.L.Es but not molly. It's just weird how we don't even get access to a mini M.U.L.E either

I would love Framework Matrix Cores to become available after getting all the OC cores. They would give a single weapon framework when forged, unlike the weapon paintjob cores which give the paintjob to every weapon of one class. Even if they cost minerals to forge, I think it would be worth it to cut down on the cargo crate grind.

[hearty moss]

I have heard people talking about bloat in the loot pools, so here's my idea: In some terminal (maybe the season terminal) you can choose what seasons cosmetics you wanna get in the loot pool at a time. For example, if I wanted mainly the Milspec frameworks, I could choose to pick the Season 3 set of rewards. This would only apply to seasons that you have not collected everything. But as a slight downside, you can only change a reward pool once you have collected everything, or you can pay with a high amount of phayzeonite. What do y'all think?

[rose pasture]

I've been kicking around this idea, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sharing this with ya'll, just in case it is.
I've read and heard about this unused mineral that was probably used for testing called Quantrite. My thoughts are about how to make the missions easier, even for just one mission/deep dive for a hefty price. Piecing these together, I thought up something called Quantrite Armor Mesh. Quantrite was discovered to be a lightweight, and very powerful material when molded and weaved to shape and then electrified to polarized it for durability and activating the phobic-slick property, making one that wears the Armor Mesh extremely hardy. However, after a few hours, the effects quickly degrade completely and renders the Armor Mesh flakey and useless without any way to recycle it. RnD is trying to find a way to restore it, but for now the excess inert Quantrite is discarded back to Hoxxes IV in hopes the planet will somehow rejuvenate it to former splendor.
Functionality speaking, Quantrite is a mineral that can be invested to gain a Quantrite Armor Mesh that lasts for one Mission/Deep Dive. There are 3 tiers to purchase, which grants 25%/50%/75% non-fall Damage Reduction for the price of 50/125/250 Quantrite, respectively. The Quantrite sticks would worth between 15-25 base units each, and rarity is equivalent to Phazyonite.
The purpose with this is to allow players who are sucky in performance to play in higher hazard levels more reliably, or being a god in lower hazard levels, all requiring the investment of Quantrite to make this possible by the missions or deep dives.

Using your pickaxe while holding out the drills should make you punch with your drill. Completely identical to the pickaxe, but just a cosmetic change.

Power attacking should make the drills start up as the driller slams both drills into the wall/bugs

[vale cloud]

Buff for Steeve perk: Add the control key like the "X" on Bosco to recall him stick with you. Add the new type of plant that when you recall him close to it Steeve will heal over the time.

Changes to Grabber behavior that it can grab digged objective items like Aquarq, Eggs, Gunk Seeds and hide them away from Dwarves to prevent depositing. Shoot it while it's stealing will make it drop the item to the ground.

[grave cloak]

Have grabbers sometimes spawn in carrying rolled-up shellbacks, (if both are in the spawn pool) which they'll drop on approaching the player.

[solemn marsh]

Rock and stone some banjos into this game man

[quartz ermine]

I would like to suggest that some effort be invested into some form of system for compensating players who are disconnected from a mission before it ends with some modicum of reward for the activities accomplished in the mission that were tracked by their client at the time that they disconnected. To be clear this is NOT about them getting the same rewards as other players who were not disconnected - it is just about ensuring that they receive some reward based on what the team had already accomplished at the time they lost connection - the ultimate goal here to avoid the dreadful experience of investing an hour or more of one's quite limited free/gaming time being utterly wasted due to no fault of their own.

[marsh raptor]

Make an option to call half resupply pods in solo missions as you arent often staying in one place long enough to utilize the whole resupply.

[nocturne lintel]

make it so you can't get stuck under things by growing out of UnderHill Deluxe beer

[torpid cypress]

Spacewalks, minor repairs on the outside of the spacerig that you can access before you leave for a mission where you have to exit the spacerig through an airlock to fix minor damages on the outside of the spacerig, possibly for a small reward (for example 25 credits), which would be especially useful when you're a few credits short from a product but don't need the average mission's payload

[smoky lantern]

I propose to introduce the system of the best player in the outing. In addition, highlight the best possible categories:

1. The best digger is the one who has dug up more minerals (Gets +2% of the reward)

2. Bug Killer - the one who killed the most bugs (hostile) (Gets +2% of the reward)

3. The best slacker is the one who has done the least. (Gets +1% reward)

4. Raid Leader - (Gets +5% reward) The leader of the raid is the one who dug up more than others, killed, and helped fallen comrades get up from their knees, performed a mission (For example, collecting nuts, or repairing mules). In general, the leader will be the one who scores the most "Points" by the end of the raid. This will encourage the players to take more active action. Sometimes, despite the presence of players in the raid, I almost do everything myself. It seems like they're just waiting for me to close this damn raid myself.

Now, as far as I know, there is no points system, and I think before introducing my idea, you need to introduce a points system into the game (for example, for killing the smallest hostile spider, you get 1 point, for digging up an aquark, you will also be awarded 1 point (It does not matter who takes away the aquark to the mule. The fact that you dug it up and picked it up will already give you a point, and if someone else picks it up, it won't mean anything anymore. The points you receive can also be displayed somewhere on the screen so that you know how much they are given to you, and for what merits

I suggest adding a new type of party dwarf to the game. He could have a dubstep cannon, and he could carry a large speaker with him, from where he could play tracks that are on the base (and not only). You will also need to enter the appropriate clothes and armor for the party-goer's style. He could also have a fart pillow, fireworks and sparklers. I realize that I haven't described it enough. Character development is a long process, I just described it briefly.

I also suggest adding a circle of dances (You hold down a certain key, and you are offered a choice of dance (After choosing a dance, the camera switches to a 3-person view, and you start moving. And everyone sees it). I think that would be very cool. When you have killed all the spiders, it is not a sin to mark this case with such a hard twerk)

Movements can be bought in the store.

[smoky lantern]

I've often wondered why there's no mirror in the game... I would like to look at myself from the outside sometimes, besides dancing. just stand there and watch how others see me. You need to make a special room for this case (It can be done behind your back, where you appear when entering the game), or you can in other places. For example, where the store stands. Remove the side panels of the store, and put mirrors instead. I even made an example in Photoshop, but as it turned out, you can't attach a photo here

[plain wagon]

more unique weapon inspects
i know this might be a bit much, but currently weapons and gear with potential for some really cool inspect animations only have you toss your gun
i can already think of a few, but ultimately ghost ship and their animation crew would decide

• the gk2 has a lot of moving parts, something could undoubtedly be done showcasing them
• #fan-art message already suggested a platform gun one where engi eats a mini platform
• maybe a pump for the warthog?
• m1k one that maybe shows off the eject? perhaps scout catches the clip then puts it back in
• i know the bulldog already has 2, but one where gunner spins the cylinder would be nice
• maybe driller could rev the cryro cannon?
• stubby one where engi taps the capacitor on the side, maybe it zaps him
• pgl could have him looking at the shells fired?
• boomstick inspect where scout flicks it open and looks at the shells

unrelated,
the beach cutter inspect should deal one damage to you
don't even make it nonlethal, it'll be funny
imagine your team's engi barely survives a fall then dies cause the laser in his cutter looked pretty

[modest laurel]

Just came to mind of a idea to make season progression a little bit more interesting

Mission Bonuses / Performance Bonuses
(For note these are intended to only apply ONCE per mission aka you can only trigger it ONCE. any player can trigger it and it'll count for the whole lobby unless stated otherwise)

• No Dwarf Left Behind | 100-200 Bonus | Self explanatory. finish the mission with all dwarves in the drop pod [ONLY APPLICABLE IN SERVERS WITH MORE THAN 1 PLAYER]
• Localized Extinction Event | 200 Bonus | Kill 1000 - 1500 Bugs total between all dwarves [Can be done in solo... if you have the patience]
• Back from the brink | 100 Bonus | Have a majority of players get to 15%-25% total ammo then refill ammo to atleast 75%
• Stingtail no Stinging! | 50 Bonus | Kill 5 Stingtails (Total)
• What do we say to Oppression lads? | 50 Bonus | Kill 5-10 Oppressors (Total)
• Gravity? Whats gravity? | 50 Bonus | have any Dwarf survive what would be a lethal fall
• The ground is a myth | 25 Bonus | Have any Dwarf stay airborne for 3-5 seconds straight
• Shields are there for a reason | 25 Bonus | Take 5-7x your health in Shield damage
• Is it just me or are there two Scouts? | 250 Bonus | Complete a Mission start to finish Drunk (only applies to drunk players)
• I Enjoy this cave alot | 250 Bonus | Stay in a cave for a 45+ minutes

New names for the few weapon mods with "boring" names to me because words are fun and every single mod should have a name like Neuro-Corrosive Toxic Catalyst ! :
Sticky Flame Duration -> Pyrophoricity
Sticky Flame Slow Down -> Gelling Agent
Improved Accuracy -> Free-floating barrel
Stun -> Subsonic Ammunition
Damage Resistance At Full Rof-> Dampening Loop
Longer Burst -> Hexacuspid Muzzle
Burst Stun -> Traumatic Combo
Stun -> Bonk
Improved Blast Wave -> Jarring Shuffle

High Capacity Magazine & Expanded Ammo Bags are not on this list because there aren't enough words to play around for all of these 😭

[fossil crane]

Could have the ERR or bittergem to upgrade it that way they have uses other than a bit more xp

[ripe brook]

Leadstorm minigun OC idea: [Refined barrel pack]
type - 🟨balanced🟨

35% lesser base spread.
10% slower rpm, leading to slightly lesser dps

(this is useful with high rpm upgrade from T1)

[dusk basalt]

When fighting the twin dreadnoughts, do not allow the burrow emergence attack spawn on a dwarf midair on a zipline. Unless that thing's chugging wormhole beers, there's no reason it should be able to pop out of someone's back pocket.

[agile palm]

Technically a Redundant option, but something I think would be neat... 2 ideas for the M1000, both Unstable

an Unstable Equivalent to Hipster. Completely removes your ability to do focus shots in exchange for... yknow, basically hipster benefits, though taken evne more extreme.

and its equal and opposite that I'm going to give the working name of MACHINA (based on the TF2 weapon and the Longsword 202 ERASER that it's based on), which does the exact opposite, removing your ability to tap-fire in exchange for more damage and blowthrough on focused shots

[wintry timber]

Have the promotions actually be promotions.

Meaning that if you promote your dwarf, he permenantly gains a VERY small increase in money and mineral gain per mission. Meaning that a Gold III dwarf will get an extra 15% on the hazard bonus. (XP does not count.) While a Bronze I dwarf will only get a 3% increase to the hazard bonus. This varies between dwarves, so whatever dwarf you play will have their promotion rank added at the end of a mission.

[hasty ivy]

please make the bubble shield have collision with doretta

[marsh raptor]

different kinds of flares, with different durations, size of the area lighted up, carried amount an maybe different flarerecharge rate. This opens up for different playstyles eg. a scout that likes to rush through and really only needs a little light duration but more flares to throw. A bigger flare with longer duration but less carried amount would also be nice to have.

[leaden prawn]

Allow us to still break a pipeline if it was attached to a pump jack bc I spent over an hour trying to get the roller coaster achievement only to be 3 seconds short and no way to fix it

[lost forge]

More perks, more 3 row armor options, a loot bug boss that comes after so many loot bugs killed. Make leveling have a purpose. Higher levels, you get more money for mined gold.

[ripe brook]

Another small, but effective suggestion. Despite biohazard pack is cosmetic items, those suits must have at least twice OXY capacity. Well, just because they're designed to be used in inappropriate environment.
Not gonna say... it will directly promote p2w elements... but leave your opinion here.

[spiral torrent]

We talk a lot about weapon and other stuff, but it would be really cool to have more Special beer too. we have a lot of brewing ingredient but so few beer's to craft. so here are my suggestion's. they are separate one. It could be nice that we can buy beer with other ingredient then the burley bulb, or for an other suggestion new today special, dont get me wrong i like the funny beer's but i would like more beer with new in mission effect. i dont know really, but just a idea like this it could be funny i beer that give's u gas, when u r hit u let go a gas that fear enemy or something like that

[lyric coral]

Wearable lampshade called "bright ideas".

[snow remnant]

To avoid confusion I think it would be wise to explicitly tell that the lithophage warning is basically a primary objective you have to complete. A new player came in the drg chat asking why they could not interact with the uplink despite having saved all smollies.
The mutator description in the Miner's Manual does not insist enough on that imo

[mild light]

Alternate mug appearance to look like a coffee cup, along with shattering when it hits something

[undone crown]

Alternative suggestion. Make it so that the oxygen capacity bar looks different when wearing the biohazard armour.

[graceful hearth]

Would be nice if there were a way to utilize the Error Cubes we've collected thus far for something super-cool... 🤔

[undone crown]

Maybe have mission control voicelines. Those always help.
At the beginning of the mission after telling you what type of mission it is:
"Oh and by the way, there's a contagion spike in this cave that you must neutralise."

If primary objective is completed, but a contagion spike remains: "just remember that you must find that contagion spike."

[graceful hearth]

I'd love it if we had the option to see more numbers. I'd want to see the damage being dealt to enemies in real time, beyond health bars (seeing their health also represented by <current health>/<max health> and/or Borderlands style with damage numbers flying off the enemies, also indicating what sort of damage was done).

I'd also love to see the numbers behind the amount of health/shielding we have, in the HUD.

More suggestions:

• Would be nice if the jet boots we find in the Space Rig had the info show up on the HUD
• Rival Tech/Rockpox Infected armor patterns/color schemes (especially to match our Rockpox-infected weapon skins)
• Option to have the Pickaxe perform at least one full swing before holstering, instead of you having to hold down the Mine button long enough for the Pickaxe to do anything
• More abilities for the Pickaxe, to better augment its speed, damage output, rates, etc.
• Upgrades for flares?

New Gunner grenade:

Attractor Pulsor

The attractor pulsor is a small circular throwable, which sticks to any target hit with it. It has a unique property, as any bullet which has the pulsor inside the reticle will now consistently hit the target. If the pulsor misses an enemy, it will instead draw in enemies for a short period of time.

TL;DR

Pulls bullets or enemies towards the grenade, 4 grenades, good with bullet hell

[charred minnow]

Give shard diffractor an OC where it becomes a freezing ray and the crystal is blue ❄️

Call it Chilly emission

In a similar vein, we have braided hair, braided beards, braided moustaches, braided sideburns... The eyebrows are left out.
We need braided eyebrows.
Though now that I think about it, I don't think we have very much braided hair? So more of that too, please.

“Hurricane” Guided Rocket System clean overclock:
Auto-locking Missiles

Newer, smarter missiles detect nearby enemies and will automatically target them without further guidance. Very useful for a gunner in a hurry!

Missiles will leave manual guidance and automatically track towards targets within 10 meters

[rough vector]

post even here: what if we have a new environment and it's literally a junkyard? Literal illegal disposal of toxic trash dumped by a "intergalactic mafia" on Hoxxes and we must recycle the trash or could corrupt the minerals we need to extract from the site.
We must dig not only in stones and rocks, but also in dirty amount of junk disposed in the tunnels. Could be very toxic, some areas can cause poison damage since the miasma caused by the rotten trash makes the whole area very unhealthy for our lungs. Plus the Glyphid could mutate in a poison variant for eating too much trash.

[dapper grove]

Ok, my one suggestion: allow us to take 2 overclocks and reroll them into 1 of a specified class

[dusk basalt]

m1000 scope zoom OC?
Maybe give it a large weakpoint bonus multiplier like the supercooling chamber.
Let the tunnel vision be the offset for balance.

**Suggestion: Add a option to have a smaller viewmodel to add more visibility in-game **
(It can be really annoying to see especially with the Gunner's Autocannon taking a big part of your screen)

(The image who serve as a example was taken from a mod who make you smaller, and it also make your viewmodel smaller)

[lucid hemlock]

Add a neutral creature that, according to its bestiary entry, eats dead flares.
(No gameplay implementation of that behavior should be necessary, same as the silicate harvesters don't do anything noticeable.)

With everything else on this weird planet and just how many damn flares we're throwing around every mission, it only makes sense for something to have adapted to take advantage of them as chemosynthetic nutrients.

[rocky ice]

Maybe this was part of the intended design, but I can't be the only one who sometimes in the middle of a frantic battle mixes up Septic Spreader Goo for Red Sugar chunks in some places. From up close and lit up its easy to tell but sometimes I find myself dashing to the wrong place. Maybe add something to make it easier to tell the difference at a quick glance? Unless that design choice was intended (or if I'm the only dummy that feels that way about it)

Allow rejoining after crash for industrial sabotage. Cost 4 of us a game after my game kicked the bucket when the Caretaker spawned.

[undone crown]

Pickaxe set that makes your pickaxe look like a crowbar. You could be a robber or Gordon Freeman.

[remote orchid]

Add a new automatic shotgun for scout. It should be the main weapon, to cause great damage, to have high firing, but this is offset by a small ammunition (I think between 30 and 100 rounds), a small firing distance and only 8 (or 10) rounds in the clip. Such weapons will be used for aggressive gameplay, with crowds, rapid destruction of enemies and the same rapid departure.

[quick spear]

I feel this has been done before, buuut

Make festive drinks for other holidays, hot chocolate for christmas with a light brown foam and dark brown inside, halloween should be a sorta orange drink with a jack o' lantern design on the foam, drinking it would cause the player to turn orange temporarily.

New OC idea for the Warthog Auto 210
This OC would focus on giving the warthog enhanced self defense and trash clear.

**🪈 Resonance Mechanism🪈 **
By swapping the standard barrel with a special mechanism you can convert some energy from every shot fired into a shockwave that disorients and damages Glyphids. This mechanism requires a shorter, looser barrel, reducing the force behind each shot.

Front Shockwave (Deals 20 Damage in a 4m cone)
Chance to Fear enemies near you (50% Fear Factor to bugs within the cone)
-1 Damage per pellet
-2s Stun duration

I wanted to allow this OC to fulfill a self defense and trash clear niche while not being too different from base. I originally wanted to touch ammo, accuracy, or pellet count, but decided against it since it would effect turret whips balance too much. I also thought of having the effects be more extreme, leaning into crowd clearing more, maybe having it apply a DOT effect. But due to the Warthogs Grunt breakpoints I found that this would inevitably lead to an unbalanced OC.

-1 Damage loses 8 or 10 damage per shot, so a 20 damage shockwave makes up for the lost damage (Including the loss of a grunts x2 WP) so no loss of DPS. It also hits the swarmer breakpoint, allowing you to better deal with trash bugs.

The fear is 50% or 25% on Praetorians. With the base magazine of 6 you should get at least 1 fear proc per reload (Its a 99% or 98% chance for it to occur within 6 shots, and a 94% or 69% to occur within 4).

Overall I feel this OC might be a little weak, but would fulfill a unique niche not currently touched on by the warthog's OC options, specializing in close range self defense and trash clear, allowing you to more heavily specialize into single-target DPS on your primary.

Note: You can still hit the grunt breakpoint without T2 Pellets, so ammo is a viable choice on this OC.

[radiant wyvern]

Nerf grenades slightly and add upgrade paths for each one

[austere spear]

"Small" OC Balance Ideas

Warthog Auto 210 Edition
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/"Warthog"_Auto_210

Mini Shells: Usually considered a bad OC, and often called the worst OC on the Warthog, totally outclassed by its clean counterpart Light-Weight Magazine.

This is due to 2 issue, its abysmally low damage that can ruin its best breakpoint, and the total removal of stun, resulting in poor self defense and target lockdown.

A grunt has 108 health on H4 and H5, they also have a x2 WP on their mouth. At base the Warthog deals 56 Damage, just hitting that 108 breakpoint when hitting the WP. -2 damage places you at 40 damage, or 80 on a WP hit, resulting is a doubled cost to kill per grunt. Overall this makes the bonus to efficiency nonexistent, leaving you with an OC that trades all stun and a big chunk of your DPS for +6 magazine size and x0.5 Recoil, neither of which are particularly powerful.

Note: This doesn't include the damage or pellet mods, as the former doesn't reinstate the 1 shot kill, and the latter competes with ammo.

How do we fix this? A good solution is to reduce the effects of the OC, focusing on its main changes. Personally I find the damage change unnecessary, as the loss of stun itself is pretty big. Additionally the recoil bonus has little effect, so it can be dropped for balancing and brevity.

This would result in the following OC:

+42 Max Ammo
+6 Magazine Size
Unable to Stun

This OC would fare a lot better, as it doesn't touch the damage, and therefore avoids all breakpoint and DPS issues. The loss of stun still sets this OC apart from others, but I feel that it's a lot more worth it when isolated.

The new ammo bonus sets you at better total damage then before, being 7*8*132 = 7892, before it was 5*8*168 = 6720. Base is 7*8*90 = 5040.

Thanks for reading <3

Thunderhead auto overclock.
Chemical catalyst bullets, "we replaced your bullets with special chemical rounds that react with organic matter, exploding violently on contact. Unfortunately the rounds are larger and more expensive, resulting in less overall ammo and reduced mag size, but their streamlined shape gives better accuracy."

Stats

On direct hit: triples area damage and splash radius.

On miss: -25% area damage

-50% direct damage

-1.5 rof

-165 ammo

-35% mag size

0.4% spread

This OC is made for crowd clear similar to carpet bomber, maybe even better, however you must be able to hit you shots if you wish to use it effectively. If you miss, you deal way less damage and your lack of ammo means you must make them count. The reduced spread helps you out, but its reduce ammo makes you want to target big groups.

With is OC if you got a good eye, you'll pound anything in your way in OBLIVION.
Just don't miss.

[vale cloud]

add an Armor Breaking OC to Drak - 25 to combine with Electricity mod on it. Because GK2 and M1000 can electrocute a Praetorian in front of it face with their armor breaking mods while Drak cannot.

[crimson ruin]

Bit of a strange and broad one, but overclocks for at least one of each class’ primary and secondary weapons that allows them to utilize each “primary”element (fire, shock, toxin, freeze) if the weapon slot cannot already access such via preexisting overclocks and upgrades. For example, none of scout’s primaries have freeze or specific freeze-related benefits from what I know.

Each player gets their own beacon to call Molly, which can all exist separately.
Molly will travel to each one in the order they were placed, waiting for a few seconds if another beacon is still up before heading to the others.
Maybe also have a sound cue for when Molly reaches your beacon like a chirp or voice line.
To avoid confusion, the lights on the beacons could turn red or something when your beacon isn’t the current one Molly is traveling to.
Ok i’m done

A new voice line when buying the daily deal: "Stocks and loans!"

[autumn sleet]

What about a limited time mission where you have to get some kind of bait to lure in an especially big boss, but the bait also lures in other glyphids and stuff so you gotta hold them off until the boss arrives and you can fight him. Could be an event themed boss or holiday themed. Just a limited time boss hunt mode.

[faint flame]

1. Pickaxe visibility: One of my main wishes for the game is a feature that displays your customized pickaxe at all times! My recommendation for this feature is to have your dwarf's pickaxe hanging off their belt area or attached to their back!

2. In game emotes: I really wish we could use some of those silly dances we see at the abyss bar used in game! Maybe an emote wheel or a hotkey to use it with the emotes being unlockable?

3. Skip Forge animation: Pretty self explanitory. I find myself often wishing to have the ability to skip the Forge animation so I can go back to messing with my friends in the lobby.

4. Quick chat: Everyone knows how hard it can be to communicate when your ass is on the run from a bunch of bugs, especially if you are with the majority who don't use a microphone. Maybe some quick chat settings for easy of in game communication during times when you just need to run?

5. Flare Upgrades: There are a lot of good upgrades you can put on your dwarf's armor. Maybe include one that makes flare recharge faster? Or alternatively an upgrade tree in the flares tab?

6. Rival Tech Armor: OH MY GOSH. I love the Rival Tech pack so much. It absolutely should be an armor DLC as well.

7. Player inspection: A way to inspect what upgrades, weapon loadouts, and cosmetics a teammate are using. Maybe limit it to friends only so you don't get overly-criticized if a teammate doesn't like what playstyle you use.

8. Armor overclocks: Self-explanatory again. Feel like it could introduce new mechanics and gameplay styles.

R&S!

A perk that gives an extra grenade

[spiral torrent]

A perk that allow's you to use your dwarfs friend as Mount the friend need to agree to it but Still, and ur friend can throw you. I just like the idea of the four dwarfs stack together and mining or fighting a dreadnought

[near frigate]

I killed Gigginox in MH3U, and it made me think two things. First, fuck gigginox, second, a leech bug with legs could be fun. Like it’s blind, so gunshots and other things will make it run towards ya, and then it grabs you and traps you for a bit, running around

[high moss]

Leaf lover cosmetic DLC. Elf outfits and wooden frameworks for guns (stick and twig!). Supporter edition Leaf Lover's Special beer

[ivory lantern]

Make rival nemesis able to make molly stomping footsteps, after it sees you and is moving towards you.

[spiral torrent]

Would be Nice to have more medieval stuff like this, it would be awesome to see framework with à fantasy twist on it
...
Its an overlord reference

[rough vector]

idea: could we have a fancy cosmetic suit, haircut and hat inspired by dc comics Penguin?
Maybe we can even use the umbrella as shield, good as shotgun cane or could be good to fly.
Wich one would be good for our dwarfs? The suit 🎩 the umbrella ☂️ or both 🐧 ?
This really would define how rich is your dwarf.

(Shitpost suggestion ig)

[torpid mortar]

ive suggested something similar before, but this time i want to expand on the concept.

warnings exclusive to deep dives, but with a twist: randomized, game-created custom warnings.

borrowing from a massive list of tiny, small details that would add incremental bits of difficulty, these warnings would be basic in concept but change up how a deep dive would be done drastically.

for example, "spicy armored hyperthermic bugs"

spicy: drops a small puddle of septic goo on death
armored: armor break values get a 50% increase
hyperthermic: bugs run hot and thus are 25% harder to freeze.

this would make it incredibly rare to run into the same warnings twice and make deep dives feel more unique each run, without having to put too much work on the devs for making entirely new warnings.

[rain jackal]

The only thing this game needs is a drink that gives a random drunkenness level between 15-30 so you can have drinking games with your friends and see who passes out first

[lapis grotto]

I suggest to add a rare version of lootbug that it look would depend on Biom.
Like for example on Fungus Bogs Biom we got brown colored Lootbug on witch mushrooms are growing + this rare variant would also drop little amount of Croppa
or on
Radioactive Exclusion Zone we got ash colored lootbug covered in harmless little Uranium crystals and this rare variant drop little amount of Umanite

[rocky halo]

A perk that would reduce damage taken from boss/mini-boss enemies and possibly their minions by a percentage point. (such as Korlok tyrant weed, Nemesis, Dreadnoughts, anything that makes a health-bar appear. This could include bulk and crassus detonators)
A name I may suggest is: Boss of Bosses

[loud hill]

probably already suggested, but glasses cosmetic slot?

[vale cloud]

Super cooling chamber OC really should have a buff as one of the following option:
Option 1: much faster focus speed, extra 2 bullets in the mag, and keep the old focus dmg bonus.
Option 2: More focus dmg bonus that enough to kill any kinds of rival turret and patrol bot weakpoints in one focus shot in haz5, keep the old focus speed.

• Please just make the OC worth the dmg and dps when players sacrificed so much time and mobility on it.

[vale cloud]

Add funny cursing voicelines when:

• someone kills a creature that has pheromone status effect (from pheromone dart) on it.
• someone burns a driller's neurotoxin grenade gas cloud.
• someone add heat dmg to a dreadnought.
• someone die from fall dmg by bouncing off other dwarf ' head.

[charred minnow]

FOR THE SAKE OF POSITIVE GOOFINESS please...

As a fun goof can we take the beer with us, and make a drink status effect for the glyphid we give beer to?

Suggestion animation: grab glyphid by mouth and make him chug the beer

(Could only use it on one glyphid and make them drunk and slowed for a small while)

-for other enemies such as robots while not getting drunk, they are only slowed down a little bit (beer is violently thrown at them and shatters)

•can be done with medium sized glyphids too just without the animation

Drunk and thrown to the stone🍺

[near frigate]

A pet cosmetic slot could be fun. Like some small baby bug or something that sits on your shoulder.

[gentle pivot]

https://i.imgur.com/fI04ZlH.png Please add a label for who used the supply charge. I forget where I've already taken it from and where I haven't. Especially when the allies will summon several capsules with supplies at once. I don't want to take away an ally's supplies, but I just don't remember where I can't take them anymore, but where I can.

[dusk fern]

New weapon idea for if you want to add more in s5/s6

Phase Phantom SIG-12

Secondary

Mag size: 5 (recharges shots after waiting)
Medium to light damage.

Each upgrade has a status effect, when you select that upgrade, that status effect is added to a cycle of 5.
As the gun fires it gives the target it hits the status effect (strong elemental status effects like fire & electricity can be replaced with half fire and half electric with reduced effect).
Reloading causes the cycle to reset.

For example; the upgrades selected have in the order of upgrade 1 to 5, electric, stun, fire, empty upgrade slot, electric.
The first time you shoot will proc with Electric, followed by stun, fire, no proc and electric again.
After the cycle is completed, no element will be given until the reload butten is pressed again.

If you reload at your 3rd shot, the order wil be electric, stun, fire, electric, stun, fire ETC.

The fifth upgrades or overclocks can change elements per upgrade or do something related with said elements.

For three examples:
The fifth shot deals extra damage for each status effect on the target enemy.

Each time you deal damage with the same element as on your fifth slot, you store a % of that damage. When you hold the attack, you charge an ultimate shot that deals Elemental damage based on the element and saved damage.

Fifth upgrade option: stun.
Element: sticky flame slow.
It changes all elements in the upgrade path to stun/slow effect on other upgrades. Increases status duration.

[spiral torrent]

A seismic gun. It would be secondary for gunner. imagine a china lake type of grenade luncher but smaller. The gun would fire small canister that make the ground shakein, a small area, it would dmg the ground, making it easyer to breack or something and fear enemie. ( idk how the number would work but feel like something to work on)

A biological gun that shoot tentacle. That would be a primary for engi. The gun would look like a hyper futuristic double barrel shotgun.
It would again shoot canister, but those one would contain a small tentacle and fluid to make it grow commicaly fast. Those could stick To any surface and slap or some time grapple small gliphides.

And again im not good with number or else. But, hey tell me what u think and how u would work the stats on those bad boys

Optional Drones.
B.E.A.R. the first drone I came up with, a melee tank that taunts enemies, and climbs on surfaces like a Glyphid of Molly. Draws attention away from you, and can collect secondary objectives like boolu caps, and Apocablooms. Carries ballistic missiles as a missile option, and a mod for the missiles is that your B.E.A.R. can also fire atomic missiles to irradiate an area.

Shelly. A turtle-like drone and MULE replacement. It can do all the things Molly can do, but instead of an attack it produces an energy shield, and it has mortar shells that destroy enemy armor. It also serves as a portable sesupply, using a smaller fraction of Nitra. In multiplayer games, the Host can store main objectives like Aquarqs in her shell for safe keeping. Can hold up to 6 Aquarqs at a time. Cannot collect objectives, as it mainly functions like a Mule with s shield battery that pushes enemies back, and blocks enemy attacks.

Phoenix MK: V. A bird-like drone that has high attack power with dual flamethrowers, AOE illumination so you never have to use flares again (Disables it's owner's flares), and can rain hell with Napalm egg-bombs (Bombs coat a large area in sticky flamable goo that burns for a long time, slowing enemy movement and dealing burn damage). EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE! Also faster than a bat out of hell! Mines slowly compared to Bosco.

Fenrir MKV: A wolf-shaped land drone. Can collect objectives, cannot mine. Can serve as a mule. Big enough to let 8 dwarves ride it's back at once! A melee drone that fires cryo missiles, and deals freezing and radiation damage to enemies with each bite. Can only be selected after unlocking all perks for all other drone variations.

a few ideas and thing i think would be nice to have in drg i made up, there most weapons. gunner, 6-cell rotary grenade launcher. 50. cal lmg, it is big and hits hard. anti material rifle, i think that self-explanatory. fully automatic shotgun. ak 47 that just shots fire 🙂 Driller, F1r3Ba11 launcher, it shots bowling balls that are literally on fire leaves trail of fire as it rolls. flare gun, as a secondary choose. saw ripper launcher, it's the spring-loaded ripper saws but gun. engineer, a meaty feeling shotgun.

i accidently sent it so I'll just continue. engineer, a railgun, it has like 2 ammo pools one is energy and the other is shells, it is like the m1000 but like railgun. i hoping for flare mods, but here are some more random ideas i have, movement and the other tool to have there own overclocks but like just clean and maybe a few balanced. thats all i do have overclocks for this but im tried and it late so i sleep

[turbid spindle]

I'm a somewhat new player, since a friend of mine gifted me the game, but there are a few things I'd like to suggest with what I've played so far.

1- Color: My favorite color is red, but my favorite/main class in the game is the Gunner. I'd really like to be able to choose my color or swap color with my friends. I even unlocked a red armor paint in the cosmetic tree before I noticed it was exclusive for the Engineer. My friend who plays engineer doesn't really like red and would swap colors with me if he could but the game doesn't really allow for that.

---

2- Veteran class: This was an idea I've had after I tried all 4 classes a little bit.
It would be interesting if there was an unlockable 5th class that is the "Veteran" class. It would equip any weapon of the other classes, having 12 options of weapons for main and secondary weapon and 4 options for the specialty weapons. It could start as early as getting level 10 or 15 in all 4 classes and then you unlock weapons for this class by unlocking weapons in the other respective classes, and any weapon augment you purchase for other classes, you'd unlock for the same weapon for this class.
Basically, it'd be a customizable class where you get to choose any equipment from any class.
It would be very interesting when playing solo because your friends are offline.

---

3- Flare upgrades: Just like your weapon, off-hand, pickaxe and armor, there could be very interesting upgrades for flares.
Some ideas:
Flare

Tier 1
-Sunny Day: Your flares burn a lot brighter, illuminating a wider area.
-Long Lasting Chemicals: After your flares have finished burning, they leave a brighter remains that still illuminates a small area.
Tier 2
-Easy Come Easy Go: Your flares last less time, but they reload a lot faster.
-Slow Burn: Your flares last for 2 times as long.

[turbid spindle]

4- Bosco Modifications
Two new alternative options to Rockets (not removing rockets as an option, just giving two other new options) and necessary changes to existing rocket modifications to also affect the 2 new options.

Tier 2 (2 new alternatives to Rockets)
-Lights, Please: A secondary support tool that can shoot flares that stick into walls. (Scout Flares for Bosco)
-You're Grounded: A secondary support tool that fires a unique material composite called Plastcrete that morphs into a semi-oval shape with a flat top upon impact against terrain. (Engineer Platforms for Bosco)

Tier 3 (Small changes to 1 modification)
-Extra Secondary Ammo (Replaces Extra Rockets): Giving 1 extra rocket, flare or platform
[Same effect, just to affect the 2 new options as well]

Tier 4 (Changes to all 3 modifications)
-Scare Tactics: Rockets scare enemies away, Flares are a lot less bright, but enemies are scared away from the source of the light and platforms release a smell that makes enemies focus attack and destroy them.
-Extra potency: Rockets have a higher chance for the explosion to shatter armor. Flares burn a lot brighter and for a longer time. Platforms have a much bigger radius.
-Cryo Chemicals: Rockets have a cryogenic liquid added to the explosion that slows down enemies and can freeze them. Flares produce a strong cold that slows down enemies movements near the source of the light. Platforms have a cryogenic liquid mixed in them that slows enemies near or on top of them.
[They still work exactly the same for rockets, but have added effects for the 2 new options in tier 2]

Tier 5 (Changes to 1 modification)
-Doubled Payload: Rockets explode with an increased area of effect. Double the ammount of Flares and Platforms that Bosco carries. Flares and Platforms now reload 2 at a time.

[vale cloud]

Compare to Scout embedded detonators OC that can only detonate 1 bug the Driller explosive reload OC on Subata should deal AOE dmg when trigger the explosion and this effect radius will stack even more with T5C toward corrosing enemies.

The Tranquilizer Round OC on Subata beside stunning a bug for 6s should also extend any status effect that the bug had such as when shooting a burning or corrosing Preatorian it will extend the burn or corrosive effect on it for more 6s too.

[vague crown]

I am fully aware this probably has been suggested before, but:

An additional use for phazyonite
My current idea is that in the equipment terminal, instead of showing which frameworks you DO have for each weapon, display all of them, but the ones you don't have will be grayed out and with a small lock icon next to them (maybe a closed Cargo crate icon instead?). Hovering over the frameworks you don't have within said window will show you a certain price of phazyonite to obtain it. I am uncertain about the actual pricing, but it should be fairly high to keep the excitement of actually getting one you want feel worthwhile. It could be a very welcome change and help massively reduce the cargo crate grind, and resolve the cosmetic bloat. Maybe this method of getting cosmetics could be applied to other things like pickaxe parts, Victory moves, Armor paints, etc.

[vague crown]

In addition to the framework bit:

Actually selecting a framework you don't have will let you pre-view it with the Skins of your choice, but you won't be able to equip it. Exiting the Equipment terminal with a framework you don't have selected will default to the previously selected framework that you do have.

[latent thunder]

New Engineer turret options and Overclock possibilities.
Rocket turret. Fires a rocket at the target. Fairly slow fire rate, but rockets home in on targets and explode, dealing considerable damage even to the environment. Ballistic missile overclock, lets it fire multiple smaller missiles at a target, shreds through armor and weak points, but risks friendly fire.

Mortar Turret: A turret option that fires grenades using a laser tripwire. Enemies that cross the tripwire will be shot instantly with mortars. Littleman Overclock, turns mortar grenades into nuclear bombs that blast craters into the ground! Like having an engineer with the Fatboy Overclock on their grenade launcher!

Proximity flame turret: The dual flamethrowers the miners wanted, but the Engineer's design! Mods/perks can include sticky fuel that makes flames permanent on glyphids and other enemies causing the fire affliction, and gummy fuel that slows enemies so the turrets can burn them more! Shorter range than the Driller's flamethrowers. Overclocks can include a cryoburn mod that afflicts the target with both burn and freeze damage simultaniously!

Minigun turret: Basically, the turret with a LOT more ammo in it, much higher ammo capacity, and shreds enemies like they're made of paper! Can get a 10mm M41-A Overclock, turning your minigun turret into a turret firing armor shredding explosive rounds that tear through armored glyphids like they were larva!

Multi-class weapon: Dual 500 Magnum. A sidearm that sits in the secondary weapon slot. Can have mods like delayed explosive rounds, or impact explosives. Also included would be Revolver mag, or a Drum mag mod to dramatically increase how many rounds are in each gun! If this is too powerful, it can be a multi-class primary weapon instead.

[pulsar sluice]

add ability to name everything you can pet (lootbugs, breathers, tamed glyphids etc.)
idk why but it feels like it would be fun

[vivid moat]

Rockpox Blister Detonator

"R&D previously believed the highly volatile Bulk Detonators were immune to the rockpox given their usually extreme body temperature and massive chemically reactive physiology, but they were proven wrong soon enough.
Similar to the exploders, it produces a large amount of the rockpox organic concrete instead of the bio-napalm, and like it's healthy counterparts, managing to kill one will result in a blast in the kiloton range, spreading the concrete and rockpox blisters in a huge shockwave."

Same deal with the Bulk and Crassus, but when it dies, it creates a Lithophage Infection Spike when it dies.

Grenade for scout that isn't affected by gravity, would float a moderate distance then stop (thinking aroudn 5-10 meteres). The grenade would be an object that could be grappled to, upon being shot by scout or a teammate the grenade would implode, dealing large area damage and breaking terrain similar to an epc shot.

Next Yuletide, let me pick up the Candy Cane dropped by the Elf and hit glyphids with it until it breaks ot i throw it

[cold basalt]

Make it so that everyone's assignments are visible while partied. I like grouping up with a host or hosting myself helping greenbeards or my friends that are new to the game but we have to keep swapping host so others can finish their assignments. It's a small change but it would be nice so the party leader could pick missions specific to other dwarves needs. That and possibly a voting system to cater for the new addition.

Much appreciated, my friends and I love your game.

Unions

Now that the Union system has basically totally broken, I suggest that it be partially removed this next maintenance update.

Instead of total removal, I suggest that you keep the bi-monthly rewards (Credits + Minerals) and free week of beer, but without them being tied to the existing union system. I want the reward to be kept since its a really fun event, and something to consistently look forwards to (Also the Minerals are really helpful early on lol). The rewards could either be totally free, or need a short assignment in place of the original union goals. I lean closer to totally free, as I never once did see a union come even close to not finishing a goal.

Overall removing the broken discord union system would be great, and linking its rewards to the game itself would make it a lot more user friendly and a lot more resilient.

Also this is not needed but it would be nice if players could still "join" a union, as the act of joining and being in a group is a lot of fun, even if pointless and without consequence.

Thanks for reading <3

Supercooling Chamber

If you look at the numbers, this OC's magsize and ammo penalties basically does the same as making the chargeshot the equivalent of costing 3 ammo per shot. However, due to the magsize and ammo penalties, it obviously has an effect on non-chargeshots too. So, how about changing its penalties so it only mainly affects the chargeshot? Like this:

Removed effects from the OC:

• Penalty -> Ammo reduction
• Penalty -> Magsize reduction

New added effects to the OC:

• Penalty -> Chargeshots now cost 3 ammo per shot
• Bonus -> Magsize is increased by 1 (This gives you the same number of chargeshots as current SCC, with or without the magsize mod on tier 3).

All other effects (bonuses and penalties) can remain the same. With these changes, the chargeshot remains basically the same, but regular non-chargeshots are not penalized for it.

[velvet falcon]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE add a reconnect button, I don't care how many time this have been uttered, WE NEED IT, countless time have we been in the final stage of a game and the DISCONNECT ruins it. THIS NEEDS TO END, its already a feature when it comes to game crashes so why not have it for disconnects.

[acoustic rain]

New machine event(or even type of mission, but i guess its too small) - Haven't got a name, lol

So in the caves there can be anything, right? I thought about an event, which could change terrain during it, so the main problem will be actually this change of a place(well with constant swarm)

So for example it can be like Ommoran, but just like we are killing Dreadnoughts while they are in a cocoon stage, this Ommoran is in like stage of growing, so "before our mission" previous team built a machine around it, so management could or get to know about the process of developing of an Ommoran or use it for another purpose(use for getting more energy, etc)

So after dwarfes start the event, the machine will start to, for example, changing Ommoran with power. So the heartstone(because the terrain is not that strong just like in the room where big Ommoran is) starts destroying everything around it, including the space under the platform.

So the problem will be to maintail the stability of a platform, "adding blocks" to the sides, so it wont fall down and the event wont be failed. Additionally the stone could have more attacks, for example start pulsing energowaves which deal damage and you need to jump to avoid. And, well, bugs are still there

So in the end after some time the event is complete or failed. You can also do that after the event terrain is at least slightly healed, so it wont be a problem completing main mission.

[real geyser]

Make more things damage terrain. I want to see sludge slowly melt away rock, or a shotgun take out a chunk from a wall, or even an oppressor remove a piece of the floor when it does it’s slam attack. I think one of the cool things in the game is seeing how your actions effect the environment, as you have this pristine, almost untouched cave becoming decimated by fluid pipes, doretta caves, and whatnot. Seeing all of the pickaxe marks and pipes in the level makes the game feel a lot more immersive, and as if there actually is a bunch of drunken, reckless workers fucking up the place.

[paper ferry]

Maybe we could increase the damage boost of feedback loop on the thunderhead from 10% to 15% like variable chamber pressure on the minigun?

a way to get the overcocks you want similar to mineral trade center. Possibly just have different overclocks available for certain intervals of time. Possible downsides to this are you buy the overclock for at least as much as it's forging price and then you'd have to forge it which would cost at least you 2x as much as getting it through other means would

Reduced fire rate, mag size and ammo pool

the Deep Rock Beach Episode:

a possible summer event that adds a new type of hazard type: Flooded Caves.

Lore Reason: Upon descending into the mission, the drop pod passes through an untapped aquafer buried deep between the drop zone and the surface. The caves below the spawn room have flooded

Control has sent down a set of Experimental Scuba Gear.

Water is similar to low gravity with limited swimming that uses stamina

the dwarves must find air pockets, or use a resupply to replenish oxygen in the scuba tanks.

The flooded caves have greater reward

New enemy type: sharklike shellfish, big crabs, possibly some form of Glyphid-squid thing. Small swarmer-like fish reminiscent of piranhas.

The exit drop pod drains the water as it closes and leaves.

Swarms work similar to mactera swarms.

Ok but like imagine "flooded" and "Lithophage outbreak" at the same time.

Storm Crystals become a massive AOE rather than a "point to point"

possible replacement for sand/snow storms "muddy water flow"

Third Person mode.
Some people have eyesight that cannot handle the First Person perspective, and letting us have the ability to see from behind our dwarves with the camera following accurately wouldn't be too much of a stretch. To toggle between view modes, it could be in the options.
-First Person: The default camera position.

-Third Classic craft: The classic Third Person camera position, where the camera is behind your head and back. Mouse controls the turning and camera, the camera controls function almost similarly to how the camera does in World of Warcraft or in classic TPS games. The camera moving with the mouse, and it will auto-follow where you're shooting. A possible fix could be to remap the pickaxe from right click to middle click, or make it a separate weapon in the lineup of weapons with a separate key on the keyboard similar to how a grenade is mapped to G, pickaxe might be remapped to T.

-Third Evil 4: The over the shoulder third person camera position made popular by games such as Resident Evil 4.

-Third Classic Twin: A form of third person where it functions best with a controller such as a joypad. The camera is controlled by the right stick, you have to move to make the camera realign. This setting only applies if you're using a controller instead of keyboard and mouse.

Offering Third Person camera options will also let us see our dwarf in their gear. I ran an experiment with my best friend and he did say that my dwarf checked his weapon when I hit R to reload when it was full, and he saw the animation. So why not just give us third person camera perspectives too? There are a lot of players who just can't handle the first person perspective.

[austere spear]

New OC idea for the Bulldog Heavy Revolver
Pretty simple OC idea, improving bulldogs stun for better murdering.

🪨Stone Stuffing🪨
Somehow stuffing every round with rocks has massively improved their ability to disorient creatures.
x2 Stun Chance
+0.5s Stun Duration

Pretty simple OC, just gives you a better stun. Base stun chance is 50%, so this OC gives you an incredible 100%, allowing you to stun with every shot. It also gives you a small boost to duration, to let you better make use of this guarantied stun. +0.5s puts you at a clean 2s stun duration.

Bulldog currently has no Stun OC's, or Stun Mods, so this clean would fit in nicely.

Thanks for reading <3

How about something for the minigun where the less ammo that is in reserve, the faster the movement speed while firing?
Could start with a zero movement speed at max ammo like lead storm but then get to shoot while running past -60%
"After hauling several dozen pounds of ammo on yet another spelunking expedition, the dwarf realizes that they're not paid to haul it back and might be tempted to hold down the trigger just a little bit longer than necessary with the promised reward of a lighter load to carry for the rest of the mission. In such a situation, anything down range should be wary of the newfound risk of rapid onset lead poisoning that comes with this realization."

Or explosive rounds like the sabata but with a timed delay before they go off.
Put them in the minigun. It's like death by dial up. You know the bug's dead. It's just gotta buffer a bit first.

Charge suckers, korlok sprouts, ebonite glyphids, and kursite infected creatures are never seen outside of their respective events. Being able to find them outside of their typical scenarios would be great for worldbuilding and diversity, even if it has a minimal effect on gameplay. Replacing a spitball infector with 2-3 korlok sprouts or making 1 in 300 glyphids ebonite or something like that would be a fun way to implement existing content without reducing the appeal of what makes those events special.

Please make Heat Radiance and Cold Radiance apply some heat/cold with every ammo consumed instead of applying it as one big burst at the end of each second of completely uninterrupted firing.

Both of these changes would improve the consistency and feel of these weapons... and make it so taking a higher flow rate (AKA fire rate) is NOT a detriment.

(And please, uh, make Fragile do something. A chance to almost one-shot enemies that are both frozen and under 100 HP feels bad, man 😦)

Tryna suggest ideas for active perks, missions, weapons and such is very difficult and finicky but I'm finally giving it a shot.
A new active perk: "Call for battle"

Description:
This perk has two active uses, with a 30 second cooldown between them. The effect of the perk itself lasts 10 seconds. Upon activation of the perk, the player will taunt the enemies by yelling quotes along the lines of "Over here you ugly bastards!", upon doing so, for the next 10 seconds, distance calculation from the enemy to you are divided by 3, like a reverse of how repellent platforms work. During this time period, you are also granted 15% damage resistance.
This perk can be used for team players who can execute it strategically, or those who feel that their role in a team is the go-to person for all the killing, you can use it to ease the pressure on other team members, or go down fighting.

Let me know what you think

A secret boss battle where, if you kick too many barrels and destroy too many decorations within a few day period, Mission Control has enough, and tries to deal with the crew by coming into the station with an iron man like suit, or something to "teach them a lesson," weapons now being able to be used during this time, If he wins by knocking all four members of your crew, like in normal matches, he constantly makes fun of you and has a constant shit-eating grin over his broadcasts for the next few hours, if YOU win, you get whatever rewards the devs deem appropriate for this, and you get to see the mission control bruised, scratched and bandaged, along with him CLEARLY being in pain for the next... Let's say half a day over his broadcasts.

[lapis arrow]

Maybe a new cosmetic section like classics or eyewear so you can get an eyepatch or a monocle I just think it will be cool

This brings up a idea!

breaking away from that lets do a another thing with the same idea

if you kick all barrels and or 90% into the launch bay a small % chance for a easter egg battle to occur... mission control FOUND the gas and its actively pumping in.

Emergency Deactivation Buttons appear in 3 Locations

• Abyss bar (front or back)
• Vents area above / Launchpad tunnel (with disco ball)
• Memorial Hall

If you completed it mission control accepts defeat for the moment and just leaves ya be if you fail you wake up in medical with mission control giving you a firm "I told you so"™️

Some Lines just off top of head
"Hey I Found your Friend! Deadly Photon Gas, I told you to quit kicking barrels into the damn launch bay!"
"Management approved of using the less than lethal Photon Gas if you keep kicking the Damn barrels into the Launch bay! looks like i get free pass to press this button here..."
"Sorry miners, i dropped my drink on the Deadly photon gas button."

"Congrats, you turned off the Photon gas. I guess fair enough to not hassle you on the barrels... for now." (COMPLETION)
"Welcome back miners, I hope the Photon gas didn't do you too much harm... Might give you some brain damage but from reports it doesn't seem to have given more or less than you already had" (LOSS)
"Told you to stop kicking the barrels, I hope yall learned your lession.. Recovery had to peel your bodies off the launch bays clean floors." (Loss)

[dusk basalt]

Maybe a slight buff to second wind. Once activated, maybe let the speed buff have a bit of a delay before it cuts off kinda like that mod for exiting gunner's shield.

Run 4sec
Perk activates.
Stop or shoot
Initiate perk cutoff timer
.5sec later speed buff expires.

If ya resume running during that .5 sec, the time running counts towards the next activation but there's still a momentary deactivation before it picks back up again.

[crimson ruin]

DRAK-25 overclock concept: zero-temp impact

+Increased damage against frozen targets

+Frozen enemies explode into freezing particles when killed

-Increased heat per shot

-moderately decreased ammo

By directing the energy flow for each shot in such a way that expels hotter molecules and leaves the remaining ones at a temperature near absolute zero, each shot causes the ice on a frozen foe to get immensely colder before the temperature difference causes it to fragment and tear into the exterior of the target! Additionally the extreme cold is released upon a frozen target’s expiration, essentially causing it to explode and chill anything around it. However, the extra energy used to accomplish this both causes extra heat generation and more energy to be used per shot, aka less ammo.

[paper ferry]

A slight buff to the damage side of Hydrogen Ion Additive for the sludge pump:

As it currently stands, the stats for HIA are a +0.5 damage per tick increase to the corrosion, and a 0.85x multiplier for movement speed.
To put things into perspective, the slowdown effect is always 15% effective on slowing down enemies, regardless of already existing slowdown upgrades and factoring in combining puddles with direct hits.
However, the damage over time increase is very negligable, the base damage per tick is 8 every 0.2-0.25 (0.225) seconds, averaging at 35.56 damage per second, 44.44 if the damage over time upgrade is taken. This overclock would only increase the damage over time by 6.25% for non-upgraded damage over time, and an even lower 5% for the upgraded version. As if this isn't already negligable, the boost becomes lower when combining the direct hit and puddles damage over time, coming in at a 4.3% increase with non-upgraded damage over time, and an even lower 3.67% boost with the upgraded version.

Overall the boost is clearly very small and barely noticeable at all, so I suggest the damage increase to be reworked into a 1.1x multiplier for direct hit and puddles, meaning you're always getting a 10% boost no matter what.

Let me know what you guys think in #suggestion-discussion

[spare needle]

Warthog balanced overclock:
Uranium flechettes

• x0.3 base spread
• +1 penetration

• x1.2 recoil
• x0.9 max ammo
  Using heavy needles instead of standard pellets greatly reduces the spread and gives a possibility to shot through initial target. But new wad makes every shot to kick back harder and healthcare department forced us to leave more free space in badoilers to prevent background radiation increase.

So i know the devs said that they dont want melee weapon. But, what about axe gun, it could use amo to swing it. By pressing R you would use, i would say 10 amo to swing the axe in front of you. The gun could be a futuristic version a the image down bellow. It could use air the push a projectile or something like that. It would be a perfect secondary for gunner. ( make it a Hammer so its havier)

[spare inlet]

Allow co op/other player required achievement to be obtainable when playing solo. like for the "Carpool" achievement. make it so solo players need to get 15 kills to get it. even if they are easier to do in coop. make them at least obtainable for solo players who don't just got 4 friends free to play with or even own the game.

[atomic elk]

Aggressive Venting on the Minigun is kind of useless because overheating the minigun requires so much shooting that anything you could kill with the fire blast will already be dead.

I propose replacing it with a new mod. The new mod allows players to press the reload key (currently unused on the minigun) to spin up the gun and stabilize without shooting. Normally, the minigun has to waste ammo to stabilize before it can be effective against small and far-away targets. This mod would let players avoid that, at the cost of giving up the very effective Cold as the Grave or Hot Bullets.

Perhaps it could also come with a bonus to stabilization speed to make the upside more flexible.

If you don't want to remove Aggressive Venting, this could also be turned into a clean overclock - though more people would probably get upset if you replaced one of the minigun's OCs than if you replaced the rarely used and unloved Aggressive Venting.

[plain fox]

I Hope now's not a bad time for a suggestion, with rogue core being in the works and all

Similar to the sleeves option from Season 4, you could add more variety to framework customization by opting to strip off certain attachments from your weapons dependent on what framework you choose. I thought of a couple examples that could work and vice versa, with and respectively:

• The vital monitor and capsules from the decontaminator framework. The framework looked great before the update too, y'know!!!
• The horizontal lights, and protruding rails from the builder's choice framework. (Aside from rails used to maintain a gun's silhouette.) The rails are more of a personal opinion, the lights could definitely use a toggle. IMO they both mess with the overall slickness factor of the framework
• the unpaintable gold plating from the fourth relic framework. The framework adds an interesting alternate gun frame to every gun, but the gold plating gets in the way of most differing color combinations
• the logo from the scale brigade framework. You can paint the logo, but some people may simply not want to associate with scale brigade. That aside, the platework deviates from fourth relic just enough to warrant exploration
• The bayonet from the waster framework. Not all guns have a bayonet, but a uniform option for all frameworks of this category would be nice.

• The guardian framework will absolutely fail if anything's removed from it
• megacorp, rival tech, milspec options don't have enough on them to remove
• trophy hunter, infected and neon options are incompatible for obv. reasons
• custom engineered and mechanical frameworks are fine as they are

If minimum scope for this feature demanded including all frameworks, I would suggest paint inversion / alternate paint pattern distribution / painting previously unpaintable framework bits.

[unborn raven]

maybe an update to mission control where if you ping a "we're rich!" item or mushroom long enough mission control will literally lose their shit and let off a screaming rant telling the dwarves to essentially "shut the fuck up" (its fine cause the dwarves already swear ingame) and then at the end apologize and ask the dwarves to not tell management what he did

this would only be triggerable once per mission, and there could be an achievement for getting him to do the screaming rant after you ping a mushroom and a we're rich item in the same mission (grinding fungus bogs for bittergem and mushroom go brrrr)

[dusk basalt]

New mission type where 3 black boxes need to be located and defended as they're scattered around an elimination cave generation template. To make things interesting, bug spawn rate gradually increases with time similar to extraction missions.

[grave cloak]

An overclock for the minigun that reduces both spinup time and the heat threshold before overheating, while having a bonus to base accuracy
Good for precise bursts for hitting small sets of enemies far away, but makes you keep an eye on your heat gauge. I think it could work well with aggressive venting, (which sort of needs a second synergy overclock) hot bullets, or even cold as the grave (since it shrinks the heat gauge rather than making it go up faster, you can still keep heat from going up too fast by killing targets)

In-game:
'Thermoelectric accelerator' (balanced)
"Coils of copper wiring in the barrel create a magnetic field as you fire; accelerating the barrel's initial spin, and guiding bullets as they leave the gun. Unfortunately we had to replace some of the gun's safety features to do so, so it overheats at a much lower temperature."

Petition regarding Decontaminator DLC:

As you know the decontaminator DLC was updated from what it was originally: a new paintjob replaced the old one and vials and digital displays were added to the framework. While I do believe the updated version fits more the “decontamination” theme and looks more high-tech stuff, I actually liked the old paintjob and especially the framework, which had some industrial vibe that I loved. The old paintjob was added to the game into season 04 performance pass as “lemon clean”, but the old framework fell into oblivion.

Therefore, I kindly ask for the original framework to be added to the game, I suppose the devs didn’t delete it, so it should only take adding it with a different name like vintage decontaminator or something like that.

[merry bluff]

Mule suggestion:Add a terminal for the mule like there is for Bosco so that you can upgrade the mule or even change it to the mini mules or other different types of mules like bet-c or even just skin customization.

Potential upgrades:Mule speed upgrade,lights upgrade,a very slight loot multiplier,An ammo pouch on the mule that's a one time use per mission and only gives you 10% to 15% of your max ammo

Hello, I have a suggestion. Many people has trypophobia - including my girlfriend, who I play a lot of DRG with - which is "an aversion or repulsion to objects like honeycombs and sponges that have repetitive patterns or clusters of small holes". In the included image there's a plant/fungus, which triggers her trypophobia and has a hard time playing missions where these thing were generated. My suggestion would be an accessibility setting where these things are either hidden, or changed to a non-holey version. I think a lot of miners would appreciate this option. Thank you for coming to my Carl Talk.

[unborn raven]

let us pay a one-time fee to access the ability to use mini-mules on missions instead of regular mules, maybe make it a quest we have to complete to get mini-mule certification, and have a place where we can pay to bring a BET-C with us, but we have to pay every time we bring a BET-C, and we may occasionally have to protect it from xynarche charge-suckers throughout the mission

The option in the mission Haz screen to modify certain aspects of the mission.
Overall Enemy Count - This would work similar to haz level, in that you can select tiers. The max you’d be able to select would be x2 (Double the enemies.)
Special Enemy Frequency - The ability to turn up the frequency of special enemies. These are enemies that aren’t just regular grunts or their respective slasher and grunt counterparts.
Mutations: The ability to double any mutation that could theoretically be doubled (Enemy mutations.) You’d only be able to double the mutation assigned to that mission.
Swarm Frequency - The ability to increase the frequency of swarms, with an added ability to increase the likeliness of certain types of swarms (Excluding swarmers.)
Mini-Boss Frequency - This would be an option where you’d be able to increase the likeliness of a miniboss in the mission (Tyrant, prospector, nemesis, random dreadnaughts etc.)
The overall goal here would be to allow for optional difficulty increases without implementing new haz levels. I understand that this is likely in mod form already, so this is aimed more at consoles. Haz 5 is fun but it’s getting to a point where I want more difficulty.

[winter pebble]

Insect idea: Pat Bug
spawns inbetween waves, follows dwarves around until they give it a head pat, if attacked burrows into the dirt and summons a couple glyphids, when wave starts also burrows into the ground

secondary weapons could be like a gun, a shuriken, and a bomb or something,

Yes, that is true. However, what about the Complexity 3 caves? Chances are, the Cave generation could be weird and have the Nitra veins be scarce. The drink would be a solution to that.

Maybe not so much of a big boost. Perhaps, I dunno, 10-15%? Just so we have some extra Nitra.

okey, what about this... a new game mode, deep rock galactic discovers a really big nasty glyphid nest and need drawves to destroy as many glyphid as possible, like the mercenary modes on resident evil! the missions about exploration, recolection of aquarq, extracting liquid morkite are really fun! but i think deep rock galactic need more defense game modes, and yes i know that we have to defend the bulldozer on the attacks to the ommoran hearstone missions, but it is not the same thing for an engineer to put quickly a turret to defend the bulldozer, then move it again and again until we finally stop, what about planning a strategy, being in a close space with some entrance for the glyphids we have to defend with those turrets, repair our defenses, and try to keep our mini base safe, i think a small base with 4 dwarves watching glyphids breacking the defences and entering the base and say "oh we have problems en entrance B! kill those glyphids and repair de defense!/force-field" then we repair it and try keeping the base safe while we continue killing glyphids that are not ON the base yet, sounds good?

Just for more customization (and also shiny) how about a "charm" slot for pickaxes. does nothing but swing around while mining. (more as just fun little extra things to be collected,)
Possibly could be gotten as:

• Minor Season pass awards (in replacement of what would be like just minerals)
• Purchasable in the Shop (Management WOULD sell those little things to just empty the dwarves pockets even more)
• Awards for Achievements (Like getting a Little Pickaxe for promoting any dwarf, ETC)
• Assignment Awards (Such as the pIckaxe packs it could give you a small little like 4 charms 1 per mission type thing)

For some ground to work off for said charms heres some ideas off the top of the head:

• beer Charms (oily oaf, leaf lovers, blackout, ETC)
• Lootbug Charm / Passive Creature Charms
• Mineral Charms (bismor, nitra, croppa, morkite, gold, Comp gold, ETC)
• Supporter Charms ( Supporter Pack 1 & 2 Based charms, Possibly A Golden Pickaxe or Gold covered beer.)
• Pickaxe Charms (Self explanatory)
• Season related Charms (Rival tech, Lithophage, ETC)
• Class Related Charms (Scout Could have a grapple hook charm, Engi could have a tiny Lure, Gunner could have a. . . gun, Driller could have a little flame shaped gem, ETC)
• Holiday Charms™️ (Skull for Halloween, Sausage for Oktoberfest, Present/tree for christmas, ETC)
• Easter egg related stuff (Error cube, ETC)
• boost charms (so slight that having it does nothing like +1 damage type of levels of boosts. barely noticable if you have or dont have it, like a 0.05% faster swing)

- A lot more ammo
- Reloading causes remaining fuel to explode
- Lower direct damage
- lower tank capacity

[viscid hound]

Dress costume please

[real geyser]

New framework: Pneumatic

Valves, steam and more! Each weapon has been redesigned to use technology from eons ago. Brass tubes and pipes, valves and various gauges dot each weapon. Mechanical bearings and pistons all work together to function as a gun, which would look hella cool

[spiral torrent]

A new buff beer, that give à random aura between (5)

-fire. The beer give you an aura of fire, does dmg
-Electric. The beer give you an aura of electricity slow enemy.
-frost leave behind frost where u walk. The frost can stun after a while in it.
-radioactive. does dmg and spread among enemy
-pheromone. You attract bugs.
You could have a 20% for each aura to occur. Again i dont know how to make the stats of it but why not give me a hand on it, let me know what u think!! Maybe it wasnt clear so ill wright it too but you would only have one aura, not all five and the size of it would be pretty small, like probably melee range or something.

[inner coyote]

Just a idea for a new voice line:
better dead then an elf

[carmine kindle]

The game needs the ability to blacklist players (by login, not by nickname). Let it be an individual list and not a public one, but so that if I blacklist a player, then in the next games I know what this player did. This will allow me to immediately leave the game or inform the host about it. After hundreds of hours of playing, I don’t even want to see someone in the game who comes into it not to play, but to "grief" play.

[dusk basalt]

How about special order beers.
Keep the beer of the day purchasable with barley bulbs but allow those buff beers to still be purchased from the menu on off-days with a more costly use of the other ingredients.

[tough void]

I’m pretty sure the devs mentioned something about wanting to address the bloated loot pool for the cargo crates and lost helmets but didn’t say how so I thought I’d share my idea. Maybe not change it much but 1. Make those things a little more common or 2. Make them more like the blank matrix cores method. When you get ready to claim a reward have 3 options pop up so you can have some sort of control over getting what you really want if you’re looking for something specific. I think option 2 would make them a lot better in the long run since the loot pool will just be getting bigger over time and probably cause newer players to get more overwhelmed if there’s something they really want from older seasons. I personally am a little overwhelmed with this as well since there is just one weapon framework that I really want for all my weapons but I only have about 3 of them so far. It’s not too bad but it would be nice to have a little easier time getting them. Also if this has already been suggested then sorry for the repeat suggestion but thanks for reading and Rock and Stone!

[pulsar notch]

Cosmetic for scout that puts his legs in braces/casts

[strong plaza]

So, I had an idea: Overclocks for movement gear. A few ideas:

Gunner Zipline
Extra Line - Clean - Just +1 ammo.
Climber Line - Balanced - The maximum angle is increased by 20 degrees, but maximum range of the line is decreased.
Lightpole - Unstable - The starter pole for the zipline produces high-intensity light, like a Scout's flaregun, but the movement speed of the zipline is even slower and lacks the speed-up when going down.

Miner Drills
Custom Drill Bits - Clean - More damage on enemies.
Manufact - Balanced - Drilled tunnels come with conveyor belts on the floor, but movement is restricted while using drills.
Land Sculptor - Unstable - Drills don't overheat and drill speed increases, but ammo decreases and no damage is dealt to enemies.

Engineer Platforms
Crystalline Solidification - Clean - Makes platforms immune to explosions.
Bridge Builder - Balanced - Platforms are 5.5x longer and 0.75x as wide, extending out long-wise towards the engineer, but ammo and magazine sizes are reduced to a quarter.
Pocket Former - Unstable - The platforms dig out a dome-space area above them from the terrain where they land, but projectiles are much heavier and arc down, even having a maximum height they can reach.

Scout Grappler
Combat Cable - Clean - +5m Max Range.
Dual Hooks - Balanced - Two cooldowns run concurrently, so you can fire the hook two times in quick succession, but max range is cut in half.
Extreme Lynch - Unstable - Passing near to a holdable item or another dwarf while in motion will grab them and move them along with you, but only one thing is grabbed before per firing the hook, and both cooldown and wind up time are doubled.

[weak garden]

No idea if it has been suggested before. But you know when you're drunk you don't feel pain as much? What if the drunker you are, the more damage resistance you have. Of course this would be only a small percentage, but would make fighting dreads 99% drunk a half viable idea. And as you sober up it wears off.

[rough vector]

Cosmetic idea: let's dress the dwarfs like the Flinstones does. Would be hilarious to see our dwarfs dressed as cavemen. (note not as actual copypaste, but inspired like)

[modest laurel]

Going off this as just a idea IF such a thing was added (likely wont) but
(note most of these things are left intentionally vague as likely would require extensive balancing)

Zipline
Hi-torque Motors - Clean - Slightly Increased Angle
Elevator Hooks - Unstable - Increased Range, Can only Attach to Ceilings (Exception for starting point), Unlocked Angle (Barely Below 90 degrees straight up and down), Decreased Ammo, Slower speed
Momentum Preservation - Balanced - Any momentum going into the Zipline will be kept, Momentum may be gained by falling onto it, running onto it, ETC. 50% ammo, Decreased Default speed (Reduced speed if going onto it from a standstill)

Drills
Sharpened Edges - Clean - Increased Damage + Minor Stun Increase
M.O.L.E System - Balanced - Pressing R toggles the replacement of destroyed Terrain behind the Dwarf, Decreased Drill Speed, Increased Fuel Consumption while in M.O.L.E mode
Terracarver Overheat Function - Unstable - Creates a 50% of a Thin Containment field sized hole in the terrian On overheat (Does damage to bugs), Increased Overheat Speed, Increased Fuel Consumption, Significantly Less damage to bugs on drilling.

Platforms
Neurotoxin Flavored Platforms - Clean - Applies Neurotoxin to Nearby Bugs on platforms destruction by any means (Mining, explosion, Glyphid Digging, ETC)
Bouncy Platforms - Balanced - Any momentum going into the platform is added into the Next dwarfs jump, Reduced Magazine size, Platforms Fly slower and are Heavier.
Antigravity Puddy - Clean - Platforms dont have any gravity and fly slightly quicker.

Grapple
Serrated Hooks - Clean - Deals Slight damage (enough to kill a swarmer) Grapples towards any enemy caught onto by the hook If not killed.
Air-Drying - Balanced - Grapple hook is faster, Any Effects the dwarf had prior to grapple is removed on grapple, Grapple hook takes longer to recharge.

[spiral torrent]

I feel like we need more buff beer, since we have all those ingredients.

So why not one that just buff reloads speed. I dont know how much, but lets start with 5% buff on reload speed.

A buff beer that highlight minerals like having night vision or something. It could just make them a tiny bit more Bright, just to call it a buff.

I just think having more buff beer would discourage People to reload their rigs to get the beer they want.
By adding more beer we get more stuff to play with at the same time. Buff beer are really a cool idea that we should pay attention instead of just wanting more weapon or more overclocks

[jolly ginkgo]

MF DOOM mask as cosmetic.

To honor him we could add his mask
Example:

[normal aurora]

Voicelines for gunk seeds which have been popped.
Feels strange to ping a ball on the ground and have the dorf yell "there, in the ceiling!"

[abstract latch]

hot springs launching you into the air should also apply when you're downed. this is incredibly relevant to me right now

[merry bluff]

Grapple gun upgrade for scout where when you shoot something like aquarq with it brings it to you instead you going to it and it would be called iheavy duty cable or something like that,or make it an overclock

[hollow kraken]

clown car voiceline(s) for huuli hoarders

it's canon that they're often referred to as such, yet it's not mentioned anywhere in-game except the patch notes

[modest laurel]

Random idea

Random Daily Discounts on a Beer, And i dont mean THE Daily Special Beer Being discounted i mean like random chances that like oily oaf is 20% off ETC.

thats it, Discounts on normal beers one per day. encourages people to try out the beers prior to missions for fun (and not to burn through their beer resources as quickly)

[dusk basalt]

Radioactive buckshot for the warthog. Right now, there's only a handful of weapons in the game that even inflict the status so it's kinda rare outside of the occasional fatman oc and the warthog has always kinda been lacking in the status effect field aside from stunner.

Balanced overclock: Plutonium Pellets
Slightly less ammo. (Manufacturing is difficult.)
Reduced spread. (Carefully packaged into shells.)
Increased recoil (Maybe a bit too much gunpowder.)
Reduced damage (Plutonium is about as hard and brittle as cast iron compared to standard steel buckshot.)
Inflicts radiation status on hit. (Main source of damage and the reason we're chugging iodine.)

[acoustic trellis]

An angered mission control line for spam pinging the GOO SAC over and over again. Maybe its just me, but i ping those things a lot and it is pretty annoying and hilarious and it seems like something that would piss off mission control.

[rough roost]

A slug shell OC for warthog, the slug shells are incredibly underutilized in the majority of videogames.
Unbalanced overclock: Slugger
Replaces pellets with one 80 damage slug
+50% Weakpoint damage
+30% Stun chance
+50% Armor break
+30% Recoil
-30 Max ammo
-2 Mag capacity

[fathom hatch]

Perk Overclocks
To spice up the gameplay with some more playstyles

Some examples I had in mind:
Beast Master
+ x% chance that you can successfully tame a more "elite" Glyphid (Stingtail, Septic Spreader, Praetorian)
- Companion deals less damage
- Companion has x% less health

Deep Pockets
+ Mineral pouches hold +25 more valuables!
+ Move x% faster when one of your pouches is full
- Massive movement penalty when moving Gems and other heavy objects
- Massive throwing force penalty for Gems and other heavy objects

Vampire
+ Regain 5 health when you kill a medium sized or larger creature with a melee attack
+ Can regain 1 health when killing small sized enemies with any type of attack
- Shield capacity reduced by x%

[alpine falcon]

ERROR PIT

Ballpit in the space rig, but it's filled with error cubes.
(Fills up as you get more error cubes. Overflowing might also be funny.)

[gentle pivot]

Add overcloacks for instruments (platform, c4, shield, drills)

[hard bloom]

Change the heat generation formula for the EPC's T5.A Burning Nightmare mod from 5 + ( EPC damage x 0.25) to 10 + ( EPC damage x 0.25). This would let the EPC shots set sludge on fire quicker. In particular, Heavy Hitter with the T1.A damage mod would be able to burn sludge with one shot - offsetting the ammo penalties it gets.

[manic crystal]

As the cave is being generated, there should be small paths also generated which the glyphids are more inclined to follow. This would be an interesting way to prompt engies to make traps, and add more complexity to the caves.

[vague crown]

In the server list, I would like to see the specific mission objective displayed.
Yeah, this is an escort duty. But how many stops are we making?
Yeah, this is a mining expedition. But how high is the morkite quota?
Yeah, this is egg hunt, but how many eggs?
On and on, you get the idea.
So instead, do something like this, for example:
{} Egg Hunt
[Insert generic server name]
x8 | x15
[insert Cave complexity and mission length]
[insert Class icons]
(All of that in order, but in the nice looking stripes that are displayed on the server list)

That way, I know exactly what I'm getting myself into.

[grave cloak]

Got rewiring mod a while ago, and I really like it. Would be neat if there were one or two other overclocks that were "reduced base ammo, but if you use the weapon a certain way, you can get part of it back"
For example:
"Biofuel conversion" (driller's flamethrower, maybe unstable?)
Damaging burning enemies with drills restores flamethrower fuel
Increased burn duration
reduced burn damage
reduced max fuel

"Experimental chemical nonsense triggers an interesting reaction in burning biological material, allowing you to directly harvest more fuel for the flamethrower by drilling into it. This reaction does slow down combustion however, and special storage requirements reduce how much fuel can be stored."

[finite tundra]

Enemy type: Glyphid Jammer
Relatively defenseless, but emits a signal that confuses DRG technology... as if they've adapted to our presence and evolved to counteract us.
Causes the M.U.L.E. to walk around in circles, and refuse to respond to player commands until it's dealt with.

[undone vigil]

buff boltshark :p

[modest laurel]

Working off this a idea came up,

Glyphid Cave Events (Loaded in as cave gen)

Glyphid Hunting Parties

• Features 3-5 Grunts
• 2-3 Guards + Slashers
• Features One "Carrier" (Special Glyphid with the Food in its mouth, if it gets attacked it'll drop it and act as a normal glyphid of its type)
• 0-1 "Special" Enemies (Stingtails, Praetorians, ETC)

Gets a Path heading to a Random designated position which once there they dig into the ground and vanish.

Features no Special rewards for killing the group and the food could possibly be picked up and pinged (for some special lines) but cannot be deposited.

Glyphid Patrol Groups

• 5-10 Guards, Grunts & Slashers
• 1-2 Praetorians
• 1 Oppressor
• 0-2 "Special" Enemies (Stingtails, Spitters (both Web & Acid) and Wardens (capped to 1 warden)

Gets a Path to travel to two waypoints back and forth in the cave to "Patrol"

Features no Special rewards.

Mactera Hunting Parties

• 2-4 Spawns
• 1-2 Trijaws
• 1 Grabber (Carrying Meat, Will be dropped upon combat)
• 0-1 Goo-bomber

Gets a path to a special location before vanishing.

Features no Special rewards.

Glyphid Swarmer Nest Construction Group

• 5-7 Grunts
• 1 Praetorian
• 10-20 Swarmers
• 0-3 Spitters

Features Unfinished Swarmers tunnels / Spawns near swarmer tunnels
Grunts & Praetorians Guard near the tunnels while the swarmers go back and forth getting rid of dirt / rock.

Will break away from this behavior upon dwarves getting close enough (or being attacked), Spitters will fire warning shots at further distance.

Breeder "Defence" Group
REQUIRES A BREEDER TO BE NATURALLY SPAWNED

• 15-25 Nanocyte Shockers (Both Types)

Floats around the breeder ambiently until attacked / threat getting too close.

Numbers and frequency likely would vary depending on haz

[low herald]

A real life buddy system to teach my 5 year old how to play. How it works. I play single player mode with Bosco activated as usual. Instead of the computer playing Bosco my 5 year old is playing as Bosco. If my 5 year old gets bored I can pause game and re-activate computer controlled Bosco. And back again if need be. This way my 5 year old wont cry when they die. Because they can not die. Because they are Bosco. 🙂

[harsh elk]

An option to block players from joining with any mods, including verified.

[torpid mortar]

expanding on this idea:

"medbay workover" armor set, with a set for each dwarf depicting them with some common injuries you would see for each class.

scout: mechanized leg braces, arm and shoulder supports for when you eventually dislocate your shoulder via a bad grapple, and torn up shoes from all that running around

driller: broken armor with most of the damage from the front (implying they blew themselves up), some scorch marks on the armor and bits of rubble stuck from a presumed cave in. optional burned hair and sooty face cosmetics can come later.

gunner; evidence of glyphid bite marks all over presumably after their shield failed, leg braces as well from the inevitable fall off of their own zipline, roughed up gloves and an carpal tunnel brace from having to lug around such heavy equipment 24/7

engineer: bullet marks in his armor, presumably from his own turrets, platform residue on his boots and a minor aura of radiation.

unsure as to which armor set this should use as its base, or if it should use a completely new one. might be fitting to use the original armors.

[somber cedar]

Molly customisation. Multiplayer missions will just add random bits from everyones customisations 🔥

[neon vessel]

Ok ok hear me out on this.

Class overclocks . . . Oi! I said hear me out!

Nothing crazy here, just some overclocks that can say for a balanced overclock for engineer he has a more storage space for minimals or maybe for gunner he has a faster rev time but can't move from that spot he's reved from. Another for driller being basically vampire but for your alleys. If there close to driller while he melee's a enemy it gives everyone a small amount of health per hit.
Scout . . . I'll be honest all ne needs is something like a slowdown field when with teammates, like he shoots a bug and on death all bugs close to that dead one are slowed for just a second or two.

[coral torrent]

You should be able to jump and land on a swarmer and have it get squished.

[shadow yarrow]

Rocket barrage sucks right now.
While the idea behind it is pretty cool, alot of attack speed but lower damage and no tracking.
It feels awefull to use cus its neither ammo efficient nor does anough damage to counter said ammo usage.
It feels like your wasting ammo when using it.

So? Why not give it more ammo to waste?

Give it enough ammo to the point it doesnt matter if its outdamaged, enough ammo to completely saturate a cave with holes to the point a person with trypophobia might disconnect on the spot.

Give it over double the ammo and magazine size!
A rather simple solution...

And maybe slightly more velocity to account for lack of tracking.

[spiral torrent]

@native lodge to continue with ur idea of a shoulder gun for engi.
The Meteor gun's.
Imagine two Kind of futuristic eye-ball floting above each shoulder of the scout (cause it would be a scout secondary).
Those two spherical guns would have two mode.
-the first one is when u have ur primary equipe they would shoot with you on the same target you aim for.

-the second one would be when you equipe them you can send both of them on an enemy but they use twice the amount of ammo.

Y'all what do you think 😄

[shadow yarrow]

Add bestiary logs for the critters like cave vine or corpse feeder's.

Or just make a separate flora codex for the plants of hoxxes, like the trapatactus or comba bud.

[finite dune]

I really appreciate how in depth the control customization is, I think it's one of the best games I've played using a ps4 controller. I'd think that having the option to toggle invert x and y for the motion sensor would be an excellent addition for drg motion control users.

[spiral torrent]

Buff beer
NAME: blue opressor
By running you build up electricity this electricity once fully charge, Help ur shield to recharge faster once broken. Ur shield need to be fully broken to use the perk of the beer. Once the electricity is used u can repeat the process.

[real geyser]

New Driller grenade:

G1 Voltaic Fastball

A 1000 watt taser hurdling at 150 kilometres an hour, directly into a glyphid’s cranium is a surefire way to eliminate any wayward bugs in your path! This revolutionary taser, lighter than a baseball and equipped with microthrusters, can eliminate targets from an extremely long distance. Hitting a glyphid or any other unlucky bug will cause the fastball to detonate, shocking everything behind the impact in a cone. This area-clearing menace comes with a buy one get three free deal, allowing you to shock four times the amount of bugs!

[dusk basalt]

Since new classes are off the table and we don't wanna mess up game balance,

How about weapon drops as a reward for black box events?

The weapons would be large pickups like the decontamination tools.

Weapon 1: Pirate cannon. Shoots cannonball that deals 160damage on impact before exploding after a 3sec delay into a 4m 300dmg aoe.

Weapon 2: Bugspraying Beerkeg
Take a swig from the tap, belch neurotoxin cloud, repeat.

[drifting crater]

I'm willing to bet this was already suggested because of how obvious of a cool feature it would be to add but
cabin customization
you could put up trophies of dreadnaughts you've killed
or find stuff in cargo crates and lost packs

[torpid cypress]

A new enemy that sleeps in the ground and doesn't awaken unless dug up, with crystals on it's back identical or similar to the crystals that surround an aquarq or a jadiz. The crystals to lure unsuspecting miners in to mining the bug. I'd imagine it would have similar strength and size to a praetorian.

[manic bison]

I started playing about halfway through the 3rd season and the matrix cores have consistently fealt like they were too far away to reach, enough to make me stop playing a couple times. I wanted specific overclocks or cosmetics and the massive uncertainty or the slow rate at which I could get infused matrix cores made it a lot less fun. I imagine that increasing the number of overclocks or cosmetics would increase that feeling for new players. I like the random matrix core infuser events, especially how it gives choice but still has uncertainty. My suggestion is, what if the matrix core challenges showed specifically which matrix cores you would get, and it was possible to come across challenges in missions randomly that gave empty matrix cores. Some of the older season events could be used as those challenges.

[shadow yarrow]

Passive Perk idea: hard fall

Falling from a high distance will do damage in a small aoe around you. Damage scales with height.

For reference, on the low end you could kill a swarmer while taking minimal shield damage. On the high end kill a praetorian while shattering every single bone in your body

[near cedar]

Pirate hat

[vivid sky]

Special down animations for Single-Player when you go down with no revives

Imagine an in-game cutscene where you get knocked down by a Swarmer, it falls into your face, everything is dark, then "MISSION STATUS: FAILURE" and boom an APD is dragging your unconscious body into the spotlight

[brazen stirrup]

1. For driller pistol, can you make it so that holding m1 let’s us shoot constantly instead of spamming click m1 similar to the full auto OC? I hate having to click a lot to shoot a lot

2. Fix dwarves conversation starting missions; what I mean by it is for example: I started a 2 players mission, there was 1 scout 1 engineer BUT while mission starting, while the pod is dropping I hear scout saying “IM TOO AFRAID TO DIE” and then I hear driller replying “STOP WHINING ” but there was no drillers

3. Whenever you frozen or infected with rockpock you are forced to spam A and D to break free, can we have an option to be a hold instead of spamming A and D?

[empty badge]

Suggestion: Add Caramelldansen as a dance move.

[shadow yarrow]

So subata is too plain and thats why people dont like it?

May i suggest to make the subata basically the warhammer boltgun, with bullets instead exploding a quarter second after hitting enemies (instantly on terrain) in a small aoe.

In the case of explosive reload overclock, make its function the same as now, with the bullet only exploding on reload, but instead increase the damage for every embedded bullet in the same target.
Rename it to 'combo detonator'

This only really serves to make subata feel more flashy.
A simple and probably isnt that well thought out of a suggestion.

[knotty walrus]

Max class level armor:

If you hit Red prestige border with 3 stars, your dwarf should be able to look accordingly.

It adds to the class fantasy people have about their favourite class, so the armour should represent/ fit the class as well. (Like default armour does, so no 1 fits all)

[tough sand]

Cosmetics for gunner where he look tanky and a anti tank rifle, like high damage but low ammo and fire rate but very big damage

[grand echo]

• Make a small shooting range in the hub to test the guns and upgrades to them, how they feel, shoot, plus grenades.

Maybe it can be done by reusing the existing one location such a place under a ship or some other. Or making a totally new one in the hub.

[vale crest]

I think a mission type or mission modifier that would pit you up against a rival team of npc miners could be cool.

[grave cloak]

Since the subata is generally seen as the 'boring' gun, why not lean into some of its upgrades changing it more.

Two-round burst is nice, but the other upgrades on its level should change the gun just as much, like moving the automatic overclock to that level (and having a new overclock in its old place) or having another upgrade that has big upside/downside on two gun stats

[empty elk]

A tiny chance to encounter abandoned resupply on any mission type

[buoyant steppe]

A Halloween hat that is just a beer glass shoved onto the dwarfs head, where the head is just inside the mug

[charred minnow]

Here's a wacky idea
Glacier Rounds clean OC (leadstorm)
Gives gunner the ability to freeze enemies with the lead storm after cooling down

[real geyser]

Clean flamethrower OC:
Roulette Core

Flames cycle between fire, ice and sludge damage with the colour changing respectively every reload, with the little igniter displaying the current element

[muted iris]

Would be cool if Nishanka's string could change colors to match the skin, instead of being constantly orange.

[real geyser]

New Driller grenade:

Forge Hammer

Straight from the forge itself, this dwarven staple acts to provide a high amount of single target stun to any miners in a pinch! The Forge Hammer is a throwable similar to the impact axe, but with much more weight and a lot more “bonk”! The loss of the raw damage of the impact axe is made up in the immense stun you can deal with enough of these hammers. If you’re prepared to lose three or four of them, you can keep a decently sized target at bay enough for your team to deal a high amount of damage. However, since you are wielding a literal hammer and not anything designed for combat, we can’t recommend this as a solution for all of your troubles. It can kill a grunt or two in a pinch though.

[thick prism]

Hey, I've got an idea for tweaking the randomize loadout in the game.
Right now, when you hit the randomize button, if your weapon has a overclock, it always picks a overclock.
It'd be cool if it could also randomly pick weapons without any overclocks on them too. Just for a bit more mix-up in the loadouts

(I realize i made a mistake and said mods instead of overclocks last time)

[unborn saffron]

could we get more achievments?
