New Mission suggestion: "Hive Regicide"
You have objectives like take out the Praetorians guarding Dreadnaught eggs, and after that, the Queen's lair is open. The Queen can only be faced on Hazard 3 or higher, and one "Hive Regicide" mission pops up per zone per day at random. It stays in that zone regardless of the reset timer. Having it's own timer of 24 hours separate from the region/zone. It remains active until either the 24 hour timer ends, or you kill the queen.
The Glyphid Queen is a large bipedal bug with a giant glowing weak point attached to it, and it spawns an endless swarm of Glyphid grunts, with every 25% reduced spawning first Praetorians, then Oppressors, then a pair of random Dreadnaughts to guard her as her HP drops. After her HP reaches 20% she'll dismount from her weak point, and you'll have her charging around as a threat! She can pick up and throw dwarves at random once mobile!
Cavern is SATURATED in minerals such as Nitra, Gold, and has secondary objectives littered next to each mineral node.
"Fall-in miners! This mission is one Karl himself commissioned to test your worth! Everyone at DRG is ordered to commit an act of regicide against a Glyphid Queen! She'll be heavily guarded, and you'll be neck deep to put it lightly. Kill the queen, and you'll receive a handsome payday!"

The way Mission Control queues his voice lines up has a few byproducts. Sometimes, it makes him play unnecessary voice lines for certain things if you do stuff too fast; for example, broken pipes when you fix them in quick succession. It always plays each one, regardless of how fast you get them all running. Another quirk is with the gravity calibrator; it launches so many props around that he spouts off like 20 voice lines, one by one. If both of these were fixed it would help the dialogue feel a bit more streamlined.

Upgrade Bosco to give infinite revives, or add other kinds of drones to fit a Damage, Survivability, and Support roles. AND THEN raise the revive count to infinite! Because as it is, Bosco is punishing to solo with! You get a max of 4 revives with Bosco, when with any player, you get unlimited revives!

Make the recoil dampener on the Stubby also reduce the spread per shot by 35%, because recoil upgrades on most other weapons also affect spread (although usually base spread rather than per shot) including the GK2 which most people don't actually no (it doesn't say and I really wish they updated that). Would also give the upgrade some use considering Stubby's recoil is minimal to begin with

New Bulldog overclock:

”Coating the rounds with a blend of chemicals allows any blood to bind to the bullet, allowing for further shenanigans! However, the coating reacts violently to other bullets, so we can only afford to keep one bullet chambered to stop it from detonating in your hands.”

I just thought of an idea for DRG. "Robot dwarfs" these dwarfs are from the rival tech and are basically dwarfs. Their goal is to complete your mission before you can. (Still pve not pvp) the robotic dwarfs can be downed like the players once all of the robotic dwarfs are down they can be scrapped for parts (different mechanic where you can make your own robotic dwarfs) if they complete the mission before you they have to escape but if you eliminate them and enter their drop pod you win the mission

HEAR ME OUT! A new mission and area on the space rig. The mission? Go out and kill a certain amount of bugs or maybe even a new bug and deposit them in a hunting rig or even molly. This can also involve a new boss or large ammounts of swarms. Then on the space rig near to the bar there will be a Hack-C grilling glyphid steaks or something. This will be called “the abyss mess hall” or something and you can purchase meals made out of ingredients found on hoxxes

Make a voiceline that sometimes triggers when you get in “the hot tub” on the top of the drop pod in the space rig. A couple I could think of are,
“Ahhh… nice and toasty!”
“It burns so good!”
Or there could also be some recycled voicelines that trigger when you step on hot rocks or something.

what about a new hazard? (thats the right term here?) let say an opposite team of miners invade some of your missions? they would be AI (pls keep pvp out of this game) controlled and goblins (they appear to be a thing in this game). the ...side objective(?) would be to fill your quota before they do, or kill them because obviously their efforts to fill their own quota would hinder your team's of course. they are not hostile until you get in their way. been playing this game for only a week but the ammount of missions it has makes the grind very fun actually

Suggestion: Mactera Dreadnought
Today I was just wondering "what about a Mactera Dreadnought?", for me personally, it feels like all dreadnought are basically the same, some tweaks here and there, but all still very similar in how we fight'em. Then came the idea os an mactera dreadnought, a flying enemy, that can have habilities like grab the dwarves when they get too close to it, and maybe fly above us and shoot some goop so it can make us slow to easily shot us with it's powerful projectiles. Like a mix of the Mactera grabber, Mactera tri-Jaw, and Mactera goo bomber. This could be a fresh air in a 3 Dreadnought mission.

I'm excited that the game may receive new weapon overclocks soon :)
There are a lot of cool balanced overclocks that have also been made by the mod community. Maaaaaybe you could reach out to any [a few] mod authors who fall under that category? Ask them if they want their creations to be officially implemented in game. Assuming it's all feasible on a technical and legal level.
More overclocks for the game, less effort on the development side, more community engagement. I don't see any losers in this interaction, so that's why I'm bringing up the idea.
I think maybe the only caveat would be the mod authors potentially wanting some kind of recompense. Maybe an ingame hat? Or free DLC? I imagine direct monetary compensation isn't really an option.

Ok so random idea for the pgl add a mod (or oc) that has 3 smaller projectiles that have reduced damage, radius. and higher velocity.

new Biome: Stone bark forest (workable name).
basic Description: The Stone Bark forest roughly 1100-2100M below the surface of Hoxxes is the single most horrifying place for dwarves of any kind to well. While the Hollow bough is a large petrified tree inside of Hoxxes, the forest is just that, a biome that is reminiscent of a lush forest (of sorts) with thick but soft razor grass that covers a majority of the cavern floors (the miner's gear is suited for this.) large portions are covered in stalagmite formations that resemble trees akin to ever greens while most are benign, occasionally a significantly larger formation can occur housing a precious mineral recently discovered on Hoxxes (insert idea). Interspersed between these formations are large clumps on dense and tall razor grass that can prove trouble some to move through, burning it down is an effective answer, however unlike most Flora in Hoxxes it doesn't produce toxic gasses instead it alerts the "protectors" to the presence of the miners.
New Enemies: The New "Protector" class of enemies are the most horrific, vile, degusting creatures yet encountered on hoxxes (aside from the bugs of course). Made of a simple living stone these enemies have vaguely humanoid shapes akin to the hated leaf lovers, flower sniffers... ELVES! (some what joking). The three variations so far encountered are as follows: a small Knee high creature that scuttled around on all fours biting and clawing to take you down, the second is more recognizable in shape, fast and weak they rush in in twos or threes with hit and run tactics, exceedingly infuriating to deal with, the third kind of protector we have encountered is the Brute, this thing is large bulky and slow, akin to praetorians or Dreadnought class Glyphids these creatures can both take, and pack a large punch. we have found that all variants of the "protectors" are weak to melee and explosive type weapons, especially terrain deformers (auto cannon). (1/2)

**basic Description**: The St...
To aid you in this new arm of our operations Management has decided to acquire new blood at great cost to us. Your team will now be given a fifth member (not a 5 person lobby, just a new class) The Medic.
New Class: (color: white/purple) While all of our miners are hardy and never need additional help on their missions Management as seen fit to increase our ranks on the space rigs by hiring a new miner. this new miner will be equipped with various field assistance equipment, first and foremost a supply of Red sugar stim packs (Support item life shield/flares), that should ease some (25%-33%) of the discomfort of your jobs. They will also be outfitted in a few side arms including a hand gun with hardened foam rounds that burst on impact and lock down the targets slowing and eventually stopping them for a short time (3 sec) and a dart gun that allows the transfer of health from an enemy target to an ally(?), a smattering of grenades including a small gravity altering bomb that will pull together various enemies within the effected area. Primary firearms will include a weaponized version of the rock pox meant to weaken and debilitate the Glyphid swarms, and a repulsor gun that fires damaging waves of energy that force the bugs back, tech we ripped from our rivals that we received from all of those data cores. Their "Leopard" model armor rig grants them all of the same wonderful benefits as yours. For traversal ease they will be given climbing gear allowing them to scale sheer walls for as long as the battery holds, this should make obtaining those hard to reach apoca bloom easier to find. We hope to see you welcoming this greenbeard into the fold like an old friends... Now get back to work. (for personal flavor/fun, i'd like for it to be a female dwarf with a 10 pack-a-day smoker voice.) (2/2)

Idea for (part of?) an eventual perk rework: Perk upgrade/tweaking system
Could be organized in a system similar to current weapon upgrades/overclocks, or as a skill tree etc with limited options.
For example, instead of the current Iron Will tiers where they just increase in duration each time, you could have an upgrade system allowing you to trade off between more options:
- How long Iron Will lasts
- Whether IW reloads weapons automatically
- Whether IW recharges other perk cooldowns (such as Berzerker, Dash, etc)
- Move speed or jump height in Iron Will state
- Speed at which you revive teammates/take resupply/etc
- "Overclock"-like upgrades with both upsides and downsides, such as something like: While Iron Willing, you automatically get Vampire but you cannot pick up Red Sugar. Or, x1.5 slower time to take a resupply, but you become immune to grabs and knockback. Etc
You could imagine similar trees for Dash, Berzerker, and other active perks. Resupplier is literally already 3 perks at the same time, so there's plenty of room for tweaks there. Strong Arm could have upgrades for throwing distance, whether it affects grenades, or make your power attack better. Veteran Depositor could upgrade deposit speed, or the mule damage resistance radius/strength, etc.
Maybe there could be combo interactions between currently separate perks, like equipping Friendly at the same time as Shield Link would give an extra bonus somehow. There's a lot of room for adding more depth to the perk system. I think you get the idea.
gusty crater
Face melter is incredibly boring. this is stupid because the name sounds cool.
I feel like it should just be reworked entirely. Reminder: this is an unstable overclock. its in the same tier as overclocks such as fat boy. Instead of being a small boost to the weapon's raw dps (easily outclassed by heating and tempshocking with microwave), why not just double down on the damage aspect to the absolute extreme.
Lower range.
Lower heat.
lower tank capacity.
BUT.
Multiplicatively increased damage the closer you are to an enemy.
Basically, if you are right up in an enemy's face, your flamethrower will do double damage, something like that.
This lil gimmick would promote a different usage for the flamethrower where one would get up close to an enemy, melt their face down, and get out after their mag quickly runs out.
This could also synergise with the heat radience and target explosion, where they would do more heat and damage respectivley based on distance to the user.
Would be neat and make flamethrower not feel incredibly overshadowed as opposed to whatever this is (seriously am i crazy or is this just outclassed by everything?)

Perk Rework Idea
Developing perks that are decent and worthwhile can be a challenge, especially when that overshadows more perks. Considering the abundance of Perk Points and limited choices to have perks, instead of making more choices to pick, why not add more picks allowed at a time? Hence, the Perk Allocation system.
The idea is a player that starts out will have a few allocation points to utilize. The amount for all dwarves increases as the player unlocks the 2 extra perk allocation perks, providing 3 points each, and promoting a dwarf the first time adds another 3 allocation points to that dwarf. Given the odd- numbered amount of leftover perk points, the idea of a new perk that requires all other perks unlocked and it costs 1 perk point to unlock, is that for every 10 perk points accumulated adds 1 allocation point to all dwarves.
Each dwarf starts with 6 Allocation Points, and there are 22 perks.
The categories below is a rough draft.
Primary Perks (3-point Allocation) 18 Total
- Perks that are team related and life-saving
Heightened Senses; Shield Link; Field Medic; Hover Boots; Iron Will; Friendly
Secondary Perks (2-point Allocation) 18 Total
- Perks that provide healing and combat conveniences
Berzerker; See you in hell; Beast Master; Thorns; Resupplier; Born Ready; Elemental Insulation; Vampire; Sweet Tooth
Tertiary Perks (1-point Allocation) 7 Total
- Left overs perks, generally providing navigation and mining conveniences
It's a bug thing; Second Wind; Deep Pockets; Unstoppable; Strong Arm; Veteran Depositor; Dash
Overall, I really don't expect this to be canon as is; it's all an idea for perk reformation.

A pickaxe mod that gives temporary movement speed buff upon killing an enemy.
You sacrifice the damage, area, and constancy of the other mod options, for a better emergency escape plan.
Alternatively, give this as a stat on the bezerker perk. Whether this is only active during the rage is up for debate.

Why is there no way to see what my unlocks do in DRG: Survivors, unless I'm blind. IE in milestones, I've unlocked the Squint-EE5, but it doesn't say what that artifact does. I can not look at my dwarves and their weapon loadouts and chances. If someone hasn't played DRG they don't know what the weapons do. If you want to go into a game with a loadout in mind because they are all the same weapon type or damage type, and the dwarf doesn't even get that weapon in their choices then your plans are shot. Some of the biome goals are weapon specific, how am I supposed to know who has that weapon in their possible inventory choices? This page could also have the cosmetics instead of randomly finding it in the settings menu to be able to show the supporter pack to goldenize your dwarves.

Dark morkite beer it's annoying when ur not doing a mining mission, it appears 90% of the time when u r not doing that mission and it's the only beer that works only for 1 mission type, kind of ruining the versatility and cycle of the daily beers.

Can we all agree that Driller has the worst armor specialization? How often does fire come up, outside of magma core and friendly fire? It could be expanded into insulated armor - half damage from fire, heat, ice, cold, and electric. Shouldn’t upset anything, even combined those are rarer than explosions or falling.

Engineer turret perk options.
Minigun turret:
Fire rate: LUDICOUS SPEED!
Damage: About normal per shot.
Deals a lot of damage quickly, but it takes the longest to build up.
Sniper turret:
Fire rate: SLOW
Damage: Instant-kills your typical Glyphid grunts, and shatters armor for Praetorians.
Deals instant death to most enemies, but has a slow rate of fire. Ideally more of a support turret for large groups in wide open caves.
Flame turret:
Fire rate: Moderate
Damage: Fire damage and can cause sticky burn debuff.
Good for mid-range, can benefit from gemini turret (Will make Engineer exclaim a unique line when both flame turrets are built)
Cryo turret:
Fire rate: Moderate
Damage: Moderate, can insta-kill flying enemies.
Ideal if you want to cool off the bugs, also makes you resistant to fire damage.
Ammo capacity for Engineer and turrets... I think leaving that to the developers is best...

Support items for every class.
Since a medic class is out of the question, why not some medical items for each class to use instead?
Biotic grenade: Used to generate a healing field for the Dwarves. You throw it at your feet or the feet of the dwarf who needs the most healing. Adds health regen.
Armor perk/mod: Regenerative bio-graft: Triggers a small health regen functionof 1% HP per second.
Bosco mod: Medical injection. After taking damage bringing you below 50% HP, Bosco will hit you with a healing injection.
Other grenades I got in mind is the Sonic-Bang, which makes Glyphids walk in circles disoriented like those hit with a flashbang. Disorients glyphids for a duration of 10 seconds. If used on larger glyphids, they'll turn away from you to expose their weak point!

for season 5, heres my idea for a DLC:
Specialists Pack
Ever felt like you were cutting down swarms of bugs with precision and finesse? No? Then the Specialists pack will make you look like you know what you're doing!
R&D presents the new, top-of-the-line suits available for everyone, the specialist's uniform! Equipped with spec-ops night vision, laser scopes, tactical flashlights and really anything that R&D would think to squeeze in there, the Specialist's uniform will turn any group of rowdy dwarves into the sleek and stylish special operatives any company needs! The DLC comes with a paintjob, a framework and an outfit.
The Outfit
The Specialist's helm is a tactical heavy duty helmet equipped with a H.U.D, a side-mounted flashlight and a set of (nonfunctional) night vision goggles. The helm takes after the dark future helmet, but less pointy and a bit more flat. It covers up the face, and has a brim like Master chief but if he was fat and drunk. The Specialist's suit offers a wide variety of pockets, ammo packs, and most importantly, a toolbelt to store your various rockets, mags, and the stray sandwich or two. Both the helm and the suit come in a sleek midnight grey and black. Those bugs will never know what hit em.
The Frameworks
The Specialist's framework adds just about everything you can to a gun. Rails up the wazoo, iron sights, red dots, random bits and bobs to make it look cool. Of course, this will also give a sleek yet mechanical vibe to the gun.
The Paintjob
This paintjob, for everything from armour to bosco, is also in the same midnight grey and black colour scheme. It would go incredibly hard on just about everything as well.

Considering we are on Space Rig 17, that means there should be at least 15 other stations orbiting Hoxxes (Spoilers for S03: ||Space Rig 5 got hit by a lithophage meteorite, so that one's missing, of course||). We've ought to see at least a few of them when looking out the Space Rig's window, no?
Gonna include someone else's idea here because it was deleted, but they could even be animated to show drop pods, personal drop pods, supply pods, and other things leaving from and arriving back at the rigs.

Thermal feedback loop tweaks
To those who aren't fully aware, thermal feedback loop is a tier-5 upgrade on the DRAK-25 which is used more often than not. It increases the rate of fire when above 50%, but doesn't say how much by ingame, only on the wiki, which is +5.
There's an issue with this however, the DRAK-25 actually has a hard coded fire rate cap of 20, when max fire rate builds would technically be reaching 21, 22 if using shield battery booster, leading to wasted potential, and weird situations like the impact deflection overclock, which is maxxing out at 19, effectively making it only a 5% DPS decrease in exchange for the deflection property which is an insane trade.
I propose this idea:
+3 fire rate when above 50% heat
1.1X direct damage/splash when above 50% heat (specifically a multiplier, rather than a base increase in percentage so that certain overclocks don't suffer more or less)
1.25x heat buildup when above 50% heat (specifically a multiplier, rather than a base increase in percentage so that certain overclocks don't suffer more or less)
Let me know what you think in #suggestion-discussion
rough vector
suggestion for a new set of enemies. How about introducing the toads?
Sure the bugs may be prolific, but this doesn't mean they have natural predators and the toads are bigger and eat all the insects they can find. They are indeed hungry and can eat everything (even themselfs). But if a toad appear, could be good as a "temporary" ally while he/she fight against the bugs for his "lunch time" but of course if there are no insects the fight begins. I can imagine them stronger like oppressors or the "plants", focusing more on jumping and generating shock waves or even causing earthquakes. If a dwarf get caught from their sticky tounge, is time to liberate yourself fast or the frog eat you.
I'll call them "Crumble"
rough vector
the best part? A hole can be dangerous to explore if a toad make a nest nearby. Maybe you think is just another place to move from another area and you need to mine, when BOOM, the Crumble emerge from the ground and start to attack you.
Note: not all Crumble are enemies. Some are frienemies, others are neutral and mind their own business. Or can be potential allies since they don't mind to eat dwards but only the bugs

A leadstorm overclock that makes it into a burst fire weapon. You have to charge up and then release a stream of bullets at a maxed fire rate.

If held for too long it causes an overheat?

Weaponized organisme: secondary
Driller: an electronically and genetically modified mushroom designed to create spores that only attack the creatures of Hoxxes. The weapon is activated by squeezing it. This weapon cannot be aimed when activated. It creates a deadly spore cloud around its user. Therefore, each use of this weapon creates a toxic area. The weapon can be activated for an extended period, allowing the user to create a trail of spores in the process.
Gunner: R&D has successfully genetically modified several Nayaka Trawlers babys in order to create torpedoes. This weapon has a long recharge time as it acts as an incubator. Furthermore, R&D has merged their DNA with that of an Exploder, creating the perfect torpedo. The weapon operates by targeting it at a specific target, after which the trawler takes care of the rest. It is possible to increase the lifespan, reduce gestation time, and much more.
Engineer: Created in a laboratory, this mixture consists of a acid spitter and a hexawing gniffer , with an integrated weapon that can attack on its own. It automatically targets the nearest enemy or the one with the lowest HP. It can prioritize the enemy pointed at by the laser. Several modifications can be made.
Such as increasing the protection radius, its damage, etc. It also allows the user to have their primary weapon in hand, however, it must return to be recharged.
Scout: R&D has found a way to transport a portion of a deeptora into a weapon. This weapon is capable of creating clouds of bees. These bees are genetically modified to attack anything that is not a dwarf. The shotgun has a short range, but it is possible to modify the bees so that they stay in place for a longer time, cover a larger area, or move around. It is also possible to enhance the weapon itself

Couple ideas, going to split them into different posts so you guys can react to a specific one.
Mission type: Rescue Mission
"We've gotten reports that a fully mature Dreadnaught is inbound on one of our mining operations. Your job is to pack up the equipment, and get out of there before it arrives."
The mission is simple, you're on a timer. Once that timer is up you lose. It's kind of like a speedrun gamemode. You're required to pack things up and place them onto a rocket, then escape once you've done that.
If you run out of time, the dropship will not come and rescue you. (To avoid even more company damage)
The special thing about the optional mission is instead it's a optional rescue.
Get all the important stuff out of there, and if you want you can rescue more stuff if you want a bonus.
As the hazard level increases, the timer decreases.
There are still constant swarms, but the mining outpost is equip with turrets.
There could also be a fun stat that shows your best time.
frosty mural
Mission type: Drilling Operation
"We've detected a very large pool of liquid Morkite, althought it is located in a Glyphid nest. We're sending you down with an armored refinery to extract as much of the Morkite as you can!"
People have asked for a kind of "survival" gamemode. This is it, except with some changes.
This way people don't have to go into point extraction if they want a survival gamemode.
You are dispatched along with a large Morkite refinery, and must refine Morkite.
Once you reach your quota, you can leave. However if you choose to stay you will face stronger and stronger enemies.
Basically you have a normal refining mission, but if you wish to refine even more you can call down another rocket and do it again.
Every time you call down a rocket, your hazard level increases by 0.5. ||(Bonus will stay at the original hazard level, but you get a large reward depending on how long you stayed)||
It's your job to extract when you feel you can't handle anymore, or when you are out of Nitra.
You can only extract when the rocket is full, to avoid players leaving the fight.
Since this is basically a normal refining mission with a twist, you can tie 5 pumpjacks at once. ||(This also helps speed things up) ||
Additionally you could be rewarded Nitra for a full rocket. Just to keep topped up a little longer.
The problem I can't seem to figure out is:
What if the player doesn't decide to stay? Since you can tie 5 Pumpjacks, it's a quick win.
Maybe you have to refine 2 rockets instead.

A stronger "nemesis" of sorts. "Our rival company has upgraded their "dwarf hunters" with new weapons and equipment in order to drive us from Hoxxes IV. your task is to cripple or destroy this new monstrosity and bring back valuable data on the rivals plans" have this as a new mission where the new "nemesis" is chasing the dwarfs as they crack a heavy duty instillation for valuable info while having the secondary objective of neutralizing the "nemesis".
languid silo
In the "key performance indicators", after being fully completed the milestone card should stay but be repalced with a counter for that metric. For example after completing the "Low O2 warnings" one to completion, instead of disappearing the card should change from "n until more perk points" to "n low o2 missions completed" (total ofc).
Of course some would be near useless, like unique craft bears brewed, but some like deep dives completed or specific anomolizes/hazards could be cool to see stats!

I'm sure this one is as old as Hoxxes, and i don't know how difficult it may be, but please can we get split screen multiplayer?

hey, a small QoL suggestion, i play on controller and my right stick has just a hair of vertical drift so when i enter the equipment menus and hover over a weapon, it cycles through them at lightning speed. a way to slow that down or a variable speed based on the stick deflection would be great, would also make sticks a much easier way to navigate menus

Class promotion, new support equipment quests!
This is basically an outline for each class to get a new upgraded or side-grade version of their support equipment.
Gunner: Tesla Coil. A new bit of equipment, you unlock it with your first promotion. The Tesla coil generates an electric field that zaps enemies. Just don't touch it yourself or you'll get a nasty shock...
Driller: Alchemist bomb. Once it explodes, everything in the blast radius turns to Nitra! The blast radius is fairly small, but overall worth it.
Scout: Adrenaline shot. Increases all stats, and makes you able to swing power attacks with your pickaxe without a cooldown for a short while.
Engineer: Hover-turret. A hovering turret to command to locations with the laser pointer. Comes with mods to be either a minigun turret, sniper turret, flame turret, or cryo turret.

- DRAK-25 plasma carbine (missing scale brigade framework)

Warthog upgrade change
Repost of an idea I had yesterday but with minor changes based on constructive feedback
Maybe move the choke upgrade into the slot of recoil dampener and combine them as a single upgrade? Would give more usage to recoil dampener, and fit the pattern of most weapons reducing spread with recoil upgrades. The stats of both would be slightly changed into the below:
0.5X recoil
0.75X spread

Suggestion
Add all the missing things to Deep Dives, such as resources and the chances of various things, such as cargo crates and events, except for the death tower, but have them have like a +15-25% chance of happening compared to normal.
And it'd be nice to have the normal chances of those things happening be upped by like 10-15%.
Because I think it's been several months since I've seen a cargo crate.
But back to the main point.
I just don't think it's entirely fair to paint the Deep Dives as some big end game thing, when it's currently just 3 missions in a row and that's it.
And I will dismiss the speed running naysayers, the ones just try to rush through the 3 missions in an attempt to get "the best time" or whatever.

Since the devs want a crossover with HD 2 I think a good thing would be some sort of contract, where the dwarfs of DRG give some minerals in exchange of some tech plan. Since dawrf are greedy and good craftman they would probably give some mineral in exchange for any "good" tech the human have.

A mass of glyphids are disrupting access to key areas of the caves. The mission is a simple one miners. Thin them out.

- The anti-grab perk should work against the stingtail.
- The Shard Refractor should have some effect on the ommoran beamers... I dunno what, but it should.
- There should be an achievement for having a Steve, Bosco, a turret (2?), and a Betsy all at the same time. Maybe call it "Alone in a Crowd" since you have to be playing solo for it.
- There should be an alternate item for the Scout's flare crossbow: a hand-held spotlight. You trade limited time burn but no need to hold it on the target, for the opposite, unlimited light time, but you can't walk away.

HD2 crossover ideas:
Insert some front line news from HD2 into the news feed at the Mineral Trading Station.
Insert DRG mineral prices somewhere into HD2.
Depending on the HD2 lore, some mineral-rich planets could have a model of a DRG Space Rig off in the distance. Hoxxes is not the only mining location. And vice versa, perhaps a Super Earth transport escorted by Helldiver Destroyers could make a visual appearance near Hoxxes, trading minerals for e. g. Terminid oil.
HD1 had the M2016 Constitution bolt action rifle that was based on the M1903 service rifle, lore-wise it was issued to every Super Earth citizen on their 16th birthday. As HD2 is set much later in the timeline, perhaps they could have transitioned to the M1000 instead.
DRG really should have a Helldiver helmet, it's the easiest item to implement. Mining Union emblems and the Deep Dive emblem could work for HD2 capes. Also the HD2 black and yellow paint scheme could work in DRG, though maybe it would look too similar to MegaCorp and Dark Future?..
Another easy reference could be a vending machine from HD2 on the Rig.

DRG should add a uh, how do I say this…monkey flea eating. I think the Act Man said it best in his L4D2 video

Medical dwarf (Medic)
Its main is still to be decided but for secodnary I was thinking like a pistol like gunner and driller
Its grenades would also be normal option of grenades
His traversal tool would be an utility limited range (same range as scout's grappling hook) portal gun (yes it will have ammo) it can be used by the entire team. It cant be used by bugs. (Update, I forget to add that it has a limited time for it to be open, it will close.)
Its special weapon will be an grenade launcher/spray, if you click it will shoot out an small ball that sprays liquid red sugar and if you click and hold it will just spray liquid red sugar, its ammo can be dug from redsugar and collected from resuply pods. (It wont heal the person that deployed it)
The medic will also have various overclocks for all weapons.

Maybe allow us to drag our teammates to safety instead of implementing a medical dwarf, I've had a few cases where some dwarves were "unrevivable" due to them getting downed outside of cover in the sightline of some big four legged terminator robot.

Electrocuting Focus Shots should be a ballanced overclock
Currently EFS has only one penalty -- -25% focus shot damage (that would mean that fs now deals 1.75x dmg instead of 2x). This penalty is a little bit smaller than Hipster single penalty -- -17 dmg (-30% of stock dmg).
Hipster is more fitting to be an unstable overclock, because significantly changes how gun plays compared to EFS.

I've noticed that if you are about to lose your connection, you can either restart the game and get an option to reconnect or you get booted in which case theres no option to rejoin and you lose all your progress from that mission.

Density 1 - 5 adds a pure swarm size multiplier to whatever level the Hazard is set to.

An overclock for the thunder-head that burns the ground and fires both cannon barrels at the same time but fires much more slowly and gives the shots an arc turning the auto cannon into a napalm mortar.
Anti gravity burst
An overclock for the hurricane guided rocket system that would stop the rockets Infront of the user shortly after fired making them hover Infront of the user as long as the trigger is held down (enemies who walk walk into the missiles will cause them to detonate) when the trigger is released all rockets will stop hovering and fire out all at once to be guided as normal.

Create milestones and functionalities for the extra perk points besides stockpiling them for an update that adds more perks. For milestones, reaching certain milestones of earned, unused perk points will give you trophies for stellar performance that can then be seen in the gallery. For functionalities, stockpiling unused perk points improves your reputation within DRG; resupply costs and rewards earned can be improved slightly by chance of "luck" or "generosity" from DRG, with the chance being effected by number of unused perk points (ie resupply can cost 60 nitra instead of 70 when lucky, and rewards can be 1.1x greater than what they would normally be)
surreal thistle
Or perks points can be used to a limited amount to achieve a seasonal perk, ability, or gadget. Whatever that goal is, the perk point requirement would be much greater than the perks already available. To be honest, the idea of spending a bunch of perk points to unlock a goofy ahh Rn'D amalgamation like a weaponized foam gun that replaces your primary weapon, can't be upgraded or overclocked, plays pretty badly, but still usable for every class, sounds very appealing.

Couldn't sleep for 2 hours because I was overwhelmed with ideas for a possible fourth set of weapons, so here they are 🙂
Scout
Primary
Dart gun
Looks like an MP-40 from the future with a clip on the top or side.
Fires darts in single or burst mode, 3 at a time. Features - very low armor penetration and the ability to stack. Stacks do gradual damage, the more stacks the more damage. Against larger targets the damage is lower/stacks accumulate more slowly.
Secondary
«Zapper» from DRG Survivor.
Releases chain lightning that hits a very large number of targets, there is a chance of stun. Can be made supportable with overheat, single or multi-charged.
Throwables
Scan Grenade
After detonation, flags bugs in a large area, making them more visible and also increasing the incoming damage on them. Optionally, you can add a health indication for tagged bugs.
Gunner
Primary
Сannonball Thrower
A single-shot gun that throws cannonballs (variations of cannonballs can be added in weapon enhancement), dealing high area damage. Highly dangerous to bugs, allies, and yourself, as well as low throwing range in normal mode. Possibility to clamp attack to launch the cannonballs at a longer range.
Secondary
Mini Rocket Launcher
Releases a swarm of missiles at random targets when the attack is clamped. The missiles do a small amount of damage to the area. Special feature - effective against groups of bugs, large bugs and bosses alike (provided all missiles hit the same target), but this is compensated for by low ammo.
Throwables
Bully Gloves
Instead of a grenade, gunner gains power gloves that deal crushing damage in melee combat, with a limited number of hits.
Alternative
Roaring Bull Grenade
Throws a bulky grenade that, when activated, moves away from the original throwing point and creates explosions at short intervals.
Driller
Primary
Plasma Emitter
Emits a beautiful wavy stream of plasma, which after a short while spreads to a neighboring bug and so on down the chain. With each new target, the delay before the wave spreads decreases and the damage to the first (and possibly subsequent) target increases.
Secondary
Nailgun
Fires piercing nails with a huge spread. The nails remain on the surface and inflict stacks similar to those of the Scout Dart Gun.
Throwables
Bouncing Grenade
A grenade that bounces off surfaces in a random direction and creates an explosion on each impact. An example of a successful use is to throw it vertically upwards, after which it will bounce in one place, hitting incoming hordes of bugs.
Engineer
Primary
Railgun
Very long charge before firing, during which you can't move, huge damage and penetration. A "full-sized" analog of the gunner's experimental railgun.
Secondary
Kamikaze Drone Station
A backpack with drones that periodically reproduce, and a laser pointer. Drones only attack when pointed by the pointer, and must be pointed until just before they explode. Drones periodically spawn even when the pointer is removed, 3 drones can exist simultaneously.
Alternative ranged attack drones, such as in DRG Survivor, may be considered.
Throwables
Portable firing position
At the point where the grenade hits, a twin machine gun turret is deployed that is the envy of the gunner. You must sit behind it to use it. Very high damage and rate of fire, limited ammo. When the ammo is depleted, it is destroyed. The turret can be operated by anyone.

The mod that shows +1 of amount of promotions as a little number next to the player name beyond triple legendary (https://mod.io/g/drg/m/promotion-levels-after-legendary-3-indicator) - I really wish that was just an optional game feature and didn't have to be a mod.
Seems like something that could be implemented rather easily into the game itself as an optional or even default thing to show.
Kind of annoying how promotions beyond triple legendary visually show as nothing by default without that mod.
real geyser
It’s already been said but we need a rework or rebalance for the LOK. The LOK is one of my favourite guns, but it is absolutely terrible unless you use one of two incredibly specific builds. It runs out of ammo very quickly, cannot hit weak points for shit (making it garbage against bosses like the caretaker), and generally does almost no damage. The upgrades are not good at all, with most barely helping or even providing more of a downside than an upside. The clean overclocks for the gun are also trash, and a simple buff of the mods and base ammo will fix these. Currently, playing with the LOK feels great. Mowing down a horde of enemies with one quick burst like that one scene in iron man feels amazing. But then you realise you’ve spent half of your ammo on a single oppressor. At this point, literally any other weapon is better. Blow through and smart rounds are useless, one of the upgrades needs a second tier 5 upgrade to be useful half the time, and it’s still not even good at taking out enemies right next to you. The LOK is one of my favourites, but since the two slightly good builds take lots of setup and overclocks, this gun cannot be used effectively at all by someone who is new to the game.

Season 5 weapons (both Primary and secondary.) Scout: a new primary weapon for him will be a smg (credit from Lady lex Avos.) His secondary will be a high caliber (blast through Praetroin armor) pistol. Engi: his primary has laser rifle (high caliber laser one shots all type of grunts] [generated half of the heat meter. If charged all the way.]) Engi's secondary is a turret pistol, it shoots and damages like the turret, but with more mag capacity and ammo. Driller: his secondary is a freeze gun, which expected freezes and is like the microwave but freezes except for exploding the guts (no Driller primary suggestion.) Gunner: his primary is a dual Minigun, slows him down about 75%. Is like the minigun. Overheats. Less acuracy.

- projectile now bounces 2 times, creating an explosion on impact each time
(if prox trigger is selected, projectile acts like proximity mine but faster - explodes on proximity with an enemy but has a tiny delay before it can trigger again - the projectile will still bounce 2 times total, and create an explosion on the last impact if it did not already explode 3 times)
(projectile will deal direct damage to enemies it passes through while retaining trajectory instead of bouncing off enemies) - decent radius bonus
- drastically reduced projectile velocity
- slightly less damage per explosion

What I'd love to see from hiveguard: commit to the spawning thing, its a really neat concept
-get rid of the phase with singular weakpoint. It doesn't need 2 of these phases, just remove one, and the 3 weak point phase is more unique, so I would elect to keep that.
-decrease the overall health of the dreadnought, however.
-then, make it have 2 or 3 summoning phases per 1/3rd of its health
-2 for the first health chunk, 2 for the second, 3 for the third
-keep the sentinels as its default spawn, it will always spawn these, no matter how the game randomizes.
-it will always spawn sentinels as its last spawn before going to weakpoint phase.
-for its other spawn, it will randomly choose to spawn any other non boss glyphid, akin to a smaller, shorter version of enemy specific swarms
-this could be grunts, swarmers, or praetorians
-on the third stage it will not spawn the same thing twice.
-killing all of the enemies in a phase will cause hiveguard to spawn its next group of bugs, and also will reveal 1 of its weakpoints on its back
-so for phase 1 and 2, it will only have 2 weakpoints, being the ones on the sides, and the third stage will use all 3
This is how i would change hiveguard to be more unique, by removing all the thing it shares with the normal dreadnought, and doing more of what hiveguard does that unique.
You could also have the size of the enemy group it spawns change based on hazard level.

Overclock (Unstable): Burst Fire Conversion

Fire a 3 round burst
Connecting all three rounds into on target causes the target to be stunned.
+50% damage to stunned targets.

-1 Damage
+20% heat generation per shot
Converting the DRAK to have a burst fire, the plasma coils have more time to charge and stun, as long as all three plasma bullets from the burst connect. However, this increased time to charge the next burst disables all weapon cooldown, reduces damage slightly, and increases the heat generation of the gun.

More accessibility options for jet boot crates.
some folk may have a condition or something that makes the flappy bird difficult, so here're some alternative ideas. Ideally you'd select the method in accessibility tab
- Pong - move a platform side to side off of which the jet boot icon will bounce back up
- Dino game - obstacles are coming from the right and you gotta time the jumps right similar to the dino game on chrome when no internet
- Space invaders - use a platform gun to stop a bunch of over heatet jet boots from hitting the ground (would only have one line of boots as opposed to the multiple lines that space invaders has)
- Snake - pilot a jet boot around as you go for resting spots while avoiding the ever growing trail of glyphids on your tail

-Most casual folks wont memorize the math for the tier numbers, so it'd be kind to have that number simply displayed as well, likely as a personal preference option.

a bunch of quick drg weapon ideas i had
H-21 Crystal Cannon
(primary) A tri-shot, homing crystal cannon. each barrel points to a different bug, and tap fires quickly. crystals stick in the ground and are white-hot, burning bugs that they touch or get stuck in. low area but high damage
Voltaic Rail Rifle
(secondary) a high damage, high pierce weapon similar to the coilgun but with very little ammo. shots reflect off of walls up to twice with very slight homing (think ultrakill piercer) while electrocuting.
Ballistae AM Cannon
(secondary) the AM stands for arm mounted. it is a single-shot, huge ass rod sent flying into whatever is near. huge single target, but huge recoil and knocks you back. might be a bit too similar to the coilgun but can mitigate some amount of fall damage or boost you up a bit (just a little).
Viper Short Rifle
(primary) a medium firerate semi auto tapfire weapon using nanobot bullets. slows and damages enemies on hit, while having a turret coefficiency which, when shot, automatically builds the sentry. if the sentry is shot when it is built, it will redirect the bullet at any bugs (and rotate very quickly) and apply the same slowing effect and a bit of extra damage, with additional damage on enemies with the slowdown. this has no cooldown, but will consume an additional 2 sentry ammo for every shot.

New mission types; 4 in fact.
-
Rescue; sounds simple. Rescue trapped miners from a job that went wrong and escort them to a special 8-man drop pod. Rescued miners can mine minerals and fend off enemies alongside you. As such; swarms are bigger and more frequent.
-
Espionage; infiltrate a rival company outpost and steal important data tablets. DON'T THROW THEM!!! They shatter when thrown. Earn bonus money for every intact data tablet; and a penalty for every broken tablet
-
Assault; hot-drop into the frontlines of the corporate wars as you enter a rival tech complex. New robot enemy types, and now we see the employees of the rival tech faction, GobTech. Kill the enforcers, destroy their base and extract before it blows.
-
Reclamation; GobTech is stealing our minerals and pillaging our supply pods, so it is up to you miners. drop into no-mans-land, defeat GobTech robots and goons, reclaim the supply pods and minerals, extract.

Mb if this reads horribly i wrote it up from a couple visions I had. DRG new mission idea
Find a rough diamond thats being defended by bugs. Call a refinery
Refinery comes in multiple parts that have to be linked and assembled.
Each part does a different chunk of the refining process eg: Cleaning the diamond, cutting the diamond, polishing the diamond. And once one part of the process is complete you then have to put the diamond into the next machine. If you put it in the wrong order the diamond is spit out unchanged and the machine has to be repaired (parts of machine fly away so you have to find them) and if you wait to long to move it to the next part of the process an ever increasing swarm appears until the diamond is put into the next machine (Lore could show that bugs think of this kind of diamond as a deity, hence why deep rock wants it because it could help to control glyphids)
After diamond is fully refined, the dwarfs then have to reconfigure the refinery into a makeshift ‘diamond drop pod’ so that it can be retrieved. Doing this calls the main drop pod and the dwarves can escape.
This new diamond could possibly have some lore connection with the error cube or bittergem, maybe the three objects need to be combined to create some kind of super weapon.

A perk that gives you a mini mule would be nice. It could act as a more personally accessible deposit point for missions like point extraction when you get forevermore away and just found a lot if Nitra or even just found a large vein if gold with Pots ‘o Gold active. It could have the limitation of only bucket deposits and no large items to keep it balanced, though an upgraded tier to allow large deposits could be added too. Would also help for when the scout steals Molly from across the map

Very small and somewhat unimportant suggestion.
When calling the drop pod with the Mule, there’s a very VERY small chance that the red dices inside the drop pod are instead replaced with tiny error cubes you can slap

Miner Adjustments (Warthog)
I believe Miner adjustments should be buffed. The mod is just not as powerful or exciting as turret whip. It was also indirectly nerfed by the input buffering update, but unlike hipster (which was accordingly rebalanced) miner adjustments was left untouched. The buff I personally would like to see is a number of minor improvements across the board. There's obviously many possibilities but to throw out an example off the top of my head:
+Reduce base spread by 20%
+Reduce recoil by 20%
+0.5 fire rate
+1 damage
+Fully automatic firing
Turret whip is pretty great, so you could probably give even one or two more minor improvements and the mods would still be neck and neck.
outer root
If R&D has access to insect pheromones on hoxxes, they can create some crazy stuff. Irl pheromones can do anything! In DRG, you can buy pheromone canisters to make bugs attack each other. If DRG has access to that technology, you can make pheromones that can literally scare out the shit of all bugs on hoxxes. If R&D can make bugs attack each other, they can make a pheromone to control the phases of the lives of any insect. I think it's a big plot hole because making such pheromones would save thousands of dwarf lives and could cut expenses. I suggest expanding pheromone technology in DRG. I think in real life and in the DRG universe, both technologies are very expansive, so it would be nice to spend some minerals or credits. Or add a hard promotion that can be completed only on haz 5, which can give you access to that expensive pheromone tech.

New machine event:
Positrite Processing
”Years ago, we were testing a new experimental warp technology using some form of condensed particles called positrite… I know just as much as you do. Anyways, something went wrong and mass amounts of positrite were jettisoned from the space rig. We need them back, and we have sent down special processors to process it. Good luck miner.”
Positrite is an exceedingly rare mineral scattered around Hoxxes, with the ability to traverse dimensions. Activating the Positrite processor will send out a pulse every ~10 seconds, teleporting in a few new deposits of Positrite. Positrite will randomly appear on the walls and floor, and the dwarves have a limited amount of time to mine the deposits before they teleport away, the Positrite must then be deposited into the processor, and a minimum of 300 Positrite must be collected.
Positrite is a bright blue and yellow mineral, which emits a glow. It appears in crystals, which are formed in tooth-like blunt shapes similar to those hexagonal rocks you can find at some beaches.
Collecting what is basically a dimensional energy crystal can’t have good effects for the dwarf, so upon picking up a certain amount of positrite, some strange things may happen. The dwarves may shrink or grow slightly, teleport, or start floating. These effects are not permanent, and will last for about 10 seconds. All the while, a small onslaught of bugs will attack, causing the mad dash for positrite to be even more hectic.
As a reward for a decently difficult machine event, the processor will spit out a chunk of hardened mineral sludge, which will give some randomised minerals when deposited (usually 30 gold and nitra and a bit of crafting minerals).

New mission type idea: Experimental Equipment
A mission where equipment was being experimented by the company and require collection, the traps themselves are disposable but the data of how they did needs to be collected.
You could have it as a High risk/High reward quest as the traps could go well or terribly.
Good Results: A Lootbug stuck in a cage
Huuli Horder trapped from a harpoon turret
A damaged patrol bog that you can hack
Neutral results: A turret that doesn’t shoot and just points at everything
A something that’s just stuck to the side of a Goo Bomber
A broken trap that you just need to find the memory bank.
Bad results: A giant bear trap stuck to the back of a dreadnought which stops it from shielding but reduced its hitbox from the trap
The trap makes a screech and attracts a swarm
A trap catches an unsuspecting dwarf.
And you could have more around then the amount needed to complete the quest so people could take the risk if they desired a higher reward, or deal the consequences.
Even further you could synergise it with events like the Prospector Data Deposit and have an experimental robot called Hacks-E that could be %50 faster or slower than regular Hack-C
wild thistle
“Nest Assault” mission where you move through a long, straighter cave. You have to shoot important things like glyphid nests/early dreadnought eggs or whatever other objective ideas there are. A large swarm of bugs (or just one massive, all consuming bug) eats up the cave behind you so you have to run, gun and mine as you complete objectives.
Eventually you can reach a safe room of some sort where you can call down resupplys and downed dwarves get revived (if they get left behind they fall down through a drop pod).
This continues 2 - 4 times depending on mission length. If you fail to complete all the objectives in those runs you either:
A: Just fail the mission
B: You get to do a last, but significantly harder (you’re going too deep into the glyphid nest) run in a last ditch attempt to complete the objectives

Cave Liich
Say a certain number of cave leeches are killed (conditions for spawning could be adjusted): there's a chance that an old evil is awoken by the cries of its relatives: The Cave Liich.
It would basically just be a cloaked, hooded personage with a cave leech face and arms with nemesis-like playstyle, but I think teleporting, magic, and SFX could really make it fun, and maybe something to be a reason to leave a cave leech hanging if the spawn conditions are specific enough.

Make bittergems have a 25% chance to be a mineable mineral. It should resemble umanite, but instead of being green, it'd be pink. it should also spawn in a cluster of around 20-30 crystals, each of them glowing with a bright, pink light. One crystal should give around 50-110 bittergem. The crystals would also be the size of regular umanite. When pinged, dwarves should shout "We're rich!" like they do with compressed gold and the bittergems we have now. It would take around 5 hits to mine a singular crystal, sorta like bedrock or compressed granite. Make them be surrounded by common rock in glacial strata only. When they're in glacial strata, they should warm the dwarves whenever they get close to them, kinda like those steam geyser things you find there.

I'd like to see the ledge grab action revamped a bit because I can't count the number of times it's wound up pushing me backwards away from the ledge I'm trying to climb onto, very nearly getting me killed by whatever is chasing me in the process.

I'd like either one of the two: 1. A visual indicator for when sprint is active or 2. Pressing sprint a 2nd time doesn't toggle it off and it instead only ends if you stop moving (which is how a lot of first person games handle it, including minecraft). I ask for this because I can't tell if I'm sprinting when airborne (there's no increased weapon sway when in the air) and am never sure if I've hit the turn threshold on the analog stick that sprint has ended or not, leading to me sometimes toggling it off when I press it again. I suppose a 3rd option would be for sprint to work like a true toggle where it's always on once toggled on, even if you stop moving. Again, I don't want to fight the controls, I want to fight the bugs.

New Driller weapon:
HERCULES Rock Cannon
Utilising a chunk of the ommoran heartstone, this beast can pick up rock from the environment and throw it at any nearby enemies, just like the heartstone! This power-guzzling weapon has two modes, one for defensive tap-firing and one for launching a full-on boulder. The cannon utilises a unique battery system, where each mag has 2000 units of charge. Picking up a rock, charging a rock, or holding a rock drains battery, however some actions drain less battery than others. A battery cannot be replenished, but can be reloaded. The driller brings 6 pairs of batteries with him thankfully, and replaces them every time the battery’s dead.
The tap fire mechanism will quickly pick up a rock from the ground around you, and fire it. This will deal serious damage and armour breaking to anything in front of you, and has a moderately fast firerate. Charging a rock will accumulate more rock, and releasing it will cause it to roll forwards like a Q’ronar, damaging anything in its way with heavy damage. It will break if it hits a wall or too many bugs. As this takes terrain out of the environment, it can be used to dig. The large and small projectiles do carve out some holes on impact, too.

Active Perk Idea: Special Favor.
You've got a friend who works in manufacturing, and he's pulling a couple strings for you.
Once per mission, when you prepare to call a resupply pod, you can hold E, then click, and it'll cost you 10 less nitra. Has 4 more tiers, which reduce the cost by 5 more. (In other words, you can get it to cost 50 rather than 80.)
If you ask me, it's strong, but not too strong, especially stacked up against other powerful perks like Iron Will.

New mission:
Lithite Mining
"Lithite, a highly potent energy source, has been detected in small patches in the region. Due to the small amount, we will need you to drop down to three different caverns to collect it. Good luck, and happy mining."
Lithite, a scarce mineral, has been detected within the caves of Hoxxes. As opposed to the normal mining mission, Lithite Mining acts as sort of a mini deep dive, with the dwarves exploring mini caves and calling down the drop pod three different times to go deeper. The dwarves need to explore a sprawling cave in order to find the Lithite, which is a glimmering, bismuth-like ore. It protrudes from the walls like Nitra, however special machinery must be used to drill it out. A deposit of Lithite is in the cave, and drilling them summons a swarm, which the dwarves must defend against. The drills are extremely sturdy, so they do not need to be protected. After the drilling is done, the dwarves call the drop pod and it takes them deeper. This is repeated two more times, and after the third lithite chunk is collected, the dwarves can extract. Each wave gets progressively harder, with the third Lithite wave being the hardest. Each wave is longer as well, leading to a challenging mission type.

New Machine Event: Crop Harvesting
Upset at the growing cost of shipping in supplies for the cantine ("Those miners eat almost as much as they drink!"), management had R&D whip up "auto-farmers" capable of planting and tending crops down on Hoxxes to supplement their food stores.
The farms work fine alone until the crops' final stage of growth, when the smell of the crops attracts bugs by the horde. Thanks to just a little genetic tinkering from R&D, the crops won't enter their final growth stage until a specific nutrient slurry is applied. That's where the miners come in.
MC: "I see you've found one of our auto-farms. Dig up the crops as they grow and load them into the harvest basket to make sure the cantine has enough slop to keep you fed."
The auto-farm looks like a large collection hopper in the center of a circular field of dirt. Activate the Core Infuser and the hopper will extend a long sprinkler pole with a wheel supporting its outer end. Insert the batteries on the basket to begin.
The sprinkler pole rotates around the dirt patch spraying a nutrient fluid on the ground below. The pole can interfere with the dwarves as they try to dig up or deposit the crops.
Crops pop up in random spots around the basket and must be dug out of the dirt and deposited to complete the event.
The event can be one of five possible crops, and each crop draws in different enemies and has a different quote from MC highlighting this.
"Looks like Gamwich Potatoes. Watch out, the bugs find taters as delicious as dwarves!"
"Blackreach Truffles this time, how fancy. The Grunts think so too. Watch yourselves!"
"It's a bumper crop of Broadbeam Legumes. Swarmers love the things, so mind your ankles!"
"You're plucking Bluecap Turnips, so eyes up! Macterra love the smell of them."
"Seeker Garlic attracts the equally pungent but less delicious Praetorians. Be on guard!"

Lithofoamer/lithovac upgrade: Make it deal damage to Rockpox infected enemies, and slow all enemies down.
The general purpose is for the lithofoamer to be less of a hassle to use seeing as when enemies start to get overwhelming like your teammates decided to go elsewhere and leave you to fight the bugs alone, these devices don't really make you as reliable in a fight...
Lithofoamer upgrade: Damage dealing to rockpox infected enemies.
When used against enemies, spraying them with foam will apply a damage over time effect to rockpox infected enemies, as well as immediate damage. Not as potent as our standard weapons in general, but it doesn't leave us forced to choose between "Foam it and risk getting killed and thus mocked by your idiot temmates", and "Toss the foamer, and spend your ammo defending yourself and facing ridicule from your lazy teammates who want to just shoot stuff".
When used on any enemy, it'll apply a slow effect too, slowing enemy mobility by 50%. Rockpox infected enemies will be slowed by 75%.
Lithovac upgrade: Velocity enhancement!
This means an increase to the range you can vacuum lithofoam. HOWEVER, it also means that when used against enemies that were foamed up, it rips armor off of them, and deals damage. Negligible to most enemies, but this is DEVASTATING to Rockpox infected enemies!
This is a situational improvement, as it will only be available during digs where lithophage or rockpox enemies will be present, but it'll make these two devices more useful in the specific scenario where we deal with things like infected Glyphids... And the Corruptor...

A Beer or Bar license upgrade that requires an extensive quest, and it no longer subjects you to random buff beers, instead, it lets you pick the one you want, with the mission being improved by the specific beer you want! Get the RNG out of the Abyss Bar.
I know some people will think RNG adds some improvement to the game, but it doesn't, not when you gotta do that one mission you hate doing, and you need a specific drink to improve your chances of success.
In conjunction, you can each order a separate beer, your friends lark which of the buff beers they want from the menu. Since these buffs do not stack, it's obvious you pick the one buff you need most. No more RNG, which means you can build your loadout and use the right buff that suits your style.
Make it harder if you want the challenge, make it easier if you're not quite there yet, or if you're just grinding up a lot of credits.
Sometimes you need Backbreaker Stout to carry stuff more.
Some times you need Red Rock Blaster because you got that one friend who keeps spawning the bugs with their mod or macro or something...
Some times you just want to use Pots of Gold to get that double gold.
Then there are times where you just need that extra fall damage resist with Tunnel rat because your friend is a driller who only drills downward and doesn't consider verticality or fall damage...

I had an idea that could be implemented when the game gets updated for the final time: a sort of conclusion/final mission that unlocks after a certain milestone that requires a lot of dedication to the game, like a certain number of missions or deep dives completed. The mission would be something that could only be sucessfully completed once per account. It would work like a deep dive but with 6-8 segments and in each one there are curious pieces of scrap and equipment. the last segment would have you follow a trail of debris through several rooms and fight bugs until you get to a rusted, gutted, repurposed old drop pod connected to a makeshift bunker assembled from various scrap, with rubble collapsed around it and various passive flora and fauna from several biomes. you press E to open the door, and a cutscene plays where the door slides open and your dwarves walk in, walk down a short hallway, and turn a corner. There, in a room, is Karl, or whatever he has left behind. I feel like it would be fitting for the dwarves to finally bring him or his belongings home as closure to his story. This is just a rough idea but I feel like it might be worth implementing in some form since so much of what the dwarves do is 'For Karl', it would be a fitting end to the game for him to finally come home.

Make the Korlok Tyrant-Weed's healing pods require line-of-sight in order to actually spawn and heal the boss. This makes the fight much less annoying as you will always be able to get to and kill the healing pods within a reasonable time frame. It's just beyond annoying and even unfair when the trip to get to the healing pod takes so long that it healed the boss back up from all the damage you just dealt in the last damage cycle. And it's even worse when this happens multiple times in a row

Ok so I suggested something very similar, but I thought about it and came up with a new take on it. The drilldozer is outfitted with new platforms over the tread guards for the engineer's lmg turret(s) so the turret(s) can actually be used throughout the mission and alleviates stress of protecting the dozer while collecting nitra and whatnot for the ommoran fight I find that soloing escort duty is rather slow as there is no way to multitask without jeopardizing the mission

Significantly reduce the explosion and flame damage resistances in Dreadnoughts. I get that the damage resistances are intended to balance out the convenience of bypassing the armor, but when you consider that area-of-effect weapons are already generally less efficient than their direct-damage counterparts against single targets, the resistances feel like an overcorrection.
Any semi-competent player understands that dumping bullets into a Dreadnought's indestructible shell does nothing, and will instead aim for the parts that can actually take damage. When they do so, bullets drastically outclass explosives in the majority of scenarios. Because of this, the weapon build diversity for Dreadnought fights is especially lacking, making elimination missions very stale.

New Driller grenade:
Earthquaker Grenade
”Slamming a dense tungsten rod into the ground extremely quickly has been shown to reduce the bug population by 10%, and broken ankles in the workplace by 300%.”
The Earthquaker is a small, stationary grenade which slams a heavy rod into the earth, creating stunning and damaging shockwaves in a large radius. This grenade is inactive until triggered by either bugs walking over it, or dwarves hitting it with a pickaxe. Hitting the grenade with a pickaxe will cause it to overcharge, dealing 2x the usual damage to enemies but causing any dwarves nearby to get sent soaring into the air. As it can be used as a navigational tool, it is best used as a defensive tool. On the plus side, killing bugs with it will send their corpses flying.

Enemy Idea: Glyphid Spectre (doesn’t necessarily have to be a Glyphid; could go into the “other” section of the Bestiary instead)
This rare enemy focuses on creating a horror environment
Flares flicker and become dim whenever in a certain distance from the Spectre (the closer the darker the flares get)
The Spectre hides in tighter areas and creates noises to to lure the dwarves in, such as Lootbug coos, the humming of a Jadiz/other big crafting material, and maybe Rival station (Router and Data Deposit) droning
The design of the Spectre is very black and gray to blend in the surrounding darkness aside from a few glowing white eyes
Upon perceiving the Spectre the darkness effect with weaken, and will begin charging at the Dwarves.
- Pinging the Spectre will cause it to begin charging prematurely
- Throwing a flare in its vicinity will cause it to retreat from a distance temporarily
- Killing it will eliminate the darkness effect completely
- Spawns upon cave generation, not during swarms

A rather large QOL Change
** Visual Changes With Overclocks **
All I’m suggesting is that when an overclock is equipped on a weapon the weapon might visually change
Not every overclock would need to change the appearance of a weapon and the ones that do would only change the appearance in small ways for example something like jumbo shells for the boomstick would only need to increase the size of the barrel
There is some potential problems with this suggestion as creating changes for multiple overclocks would not only take quite a while you would need to consider the changes to the weapon frames as-well which will multiply the amount of effort so this might just be more work than it is worth

-
I remember a conversation about how 'meh' gold multiplier is even in haz 5 and this is one of the reasons people tend to ignore gold on most missions, shouldn't gold be a little better in the task of generating credits? Remember that time wasted on mining it can compromise some of the missions that are basically running against the clock.

2.when it does it’s explosive attack to kill you it leaves a lingering radiation effect for like 5 seconds afterwards and if you are hit you also have the debuff for 5 seconds

Can we have a mode where we have to catch this mobile bug which is hard to catch because it moves constantly to hard to reach places so that we can put a camera or a tracking device on it. It will move in a pattern, but when this thing moves it will alert the bugs so we have to figure the pattern quickly enough before the bug overpowers us. The scout with his tool will make this easy so make him only be able to hold this bug long enough before it gets free. The dwarves must figure out it's landing positions then build ways to get there the fastest in case it moves away.

Glyphid Siren
”While the siren is smaller compared to some bugs, do not underestimate the raw power of this one. Anyone who doesn’t deal with this bug in time will be forced to deal with the intense shrieking this bug yields, and hearing aids don’t fit into the budget.”
The siren is a medium-sized, blind glyphid, trotting around searching for food. This bug is used to using sound to its advantage, whether it be incapacitating its prey or calling for reinforcements. If the player damages or walks too close to a siren, it will detect the player and emit a series of high pitched wails. These wails will stun and blind any dwarves for a short period of time, while also calling for additional reinforcements. While it is a fairly dangerous bug, it is easy to locate due to the distinct loud clicking sounds it makes. One shot from a high single target weapon should end it before it wakes everyone up.

Having a mid match line about, "We're detecting more biosigns making their way toward this general location.

- De-volving would look something like this
- Guard-->Grunt-->Swarmer-->Mush
- Menace-->Acid Spitter-->Web Spitter-->Mush
- Oppressor-->Praetorian-->Etc...

Type: Balanced ⚠️
Class: Gunner
Weapon: BRT 
"After thorough investigation of Glyphid digestion Processes, it has Come to the attention of the Folks at R&D that it involves quite a few Volatile and Flammable Substances, and they had a Brilliant way to take advantage of it. These new fancy Bullets might not hit as Hard, but it's their victims who will be going out with a bang."
Bullets now apply an Effect Similar to that of Neuro Corrosive Toxic catalyst, but instead of Sludge/Neurotoxin, They trigger on burning targets, and apply additional heat on hit. Targets Explode on death, And the explosion is larger the more Bullets have been pumped into them while they are burning.
❕ Note: Similarly to NCTC, there is a limit to how strong the effect can get before it stops getting any stronger. In my head the limit would be 12 (2-4 bursts) and the boosts will be in small increments when compared to each other.
Reduced damage.
does not gain increased damage against frozen targets.
tl;dr - NCTC for BRT but with fire instead of Sludge/Neurotoxin, as an overclock.

An overlock idea for the Warthog
When I first tried this one a long time ago I first thought it was a rifle. I mean am I the only one to think it sounds like a rifle instead of a shotgun? My point is, it could be cool to make it an actual rifle with an overclock.
Basically...
Dispersion is now 0%
Damages are greatly increased
Range is also greatly increased
There's only 1 bullet per shot
It would add a different and new gameplay for the engineer, could be great.
It would be more or less the same vibe as the M1000 (more or less, maybe more firing speed and less damages)
smoky wadi
Since there has been a lot of discussion surrounding the Lok-1 in the suggestions recently. Here's an idea I cooked up a while ago.
Disabled safety mechanism:
TLDR: you cannot hold it at maximum locks
🌟 Once the Lok-1 reaches max locks, it instantly fires, (good for dishing out bullets, not great for hitting weakpoints)
Scanning size is increased.
Slightly faster lock acquisition.
some sort of mag size, or reload speed nerf. I'm not sure.
(I very intentionally did not touch the damage, or max ammo stats of the weapon)
mild light
Revamp the general appearance of the space rig, it is quite bland in various areas being plain flat surfaces without any reflections or anything, even if its just one of those 90s soda cup or public transit seat patterns as a carpet, another option would just be adding some reflection to the metal surfaces, or some more hazard paint.
Really any sort of redoing of the space rig would benefit this game, not more clutter, but making it a little more pretty.
urban sequoia
A beer (or mode) that randomly switches your class during the mission every 10-15 mins (it wouldn’t change said classes load outs tho, maybe just pick a random profile every time it switches)
dull lagoon
require a refuel halfway through the heartstone, make use of the oil shale in the room + the dozer should use fuel while drilling, only makes sense (plus chaos which is fun)
wispy flame
Can we have it so if you disconnect (not from leaving, from when say the Internet goes out) you still get completion on assignments and maybe like 25% of resources gathered to that point? I just had my Internet go out and get disconnected from the server right as the last person made it to the drop pod, and I got nothing from an hour of work.
raven violet
combat mobility should reload faster, after all, the mags are lighter
spiral torrent
Could be nice to have more interaction with oil shale. They could burn if they are in pieces or other and i would like To see an other mission where we need the oil for a main machine or for individuel equipement.

I think heightened senses should do SOMETHING with the Sting Tail. I know it's purpose is to prevent the grabby enemies that are just guaranteed to kill you, but at least the little alert should happen whenever the Sting Tail is targeting you.

New Machine event:
Teleporter Shutdown
”Years ago, we ran experiments on new teleportation technology as an efficient way to get down into the mines. However, we never got it to work as it intended, and it got lost in the depths. The teleporter right now acts as a one way route straight into the space rig, and we don’t want to risk any rivals getting in. The pieces are also expensive so we need you to recover them, but ripping some out might cause some unintended side effects. Good luck.”
The teleporter is a large, bulky piece of machinery. 4-8 heat sinks will be ejected, and the dwarves must pull out each one. Upon pulling it out, the environment changes around the dwarves, sending them to an alternate dimension temporarily. This dimension has altered colours, and every dwarf is sent to a different reality. For example, one dimension might have yellow glyphids and a blue rock background. Apart from being alone and having a unique random colour scheme, it is exactly the same as a solo fight. Each dimension has its own swarm hidden from other players, and the dwarf must survive this wave for 20-30 seconds before being transported back to the normal reality. This effect of unique swarms is achieved by hiding the other dwarves and all bugs, testing how well a single dwarf can hold their own. Once they return to their original dimension, they can pull another part off. Pulling off all parts completes the machine event, and extra XP is granted from depositing the parts.

DWARF IN DISTRESS
Picture this.
You're doing a Haz 5 Egg Extraction.
Your 3 friends had to hop off mid mission
But you can't quit, this is the last mission for your promotion, and failing would be annoying cause then you've gotta do it again, but what now...?
You're all alone...
In the dark...
In Hollow Bough...
BUT WAIT
Corporate recently begun the Dwarf In Distress program!
A revolutionary way of beaming your situation up to your fellow dwarves in the space rig for immediate response (as soon as they finish their beers)!
Upon pausing your game, you see a new button up next to the disband team button that says "REQUEST SUPPORT".
Clicking it opens a prompt that reads:
Request additional support from Space Rig?
Accepting the prompt will add a new icon to your game in the server browser that looks something like this (see image)
Which lets your fellow miners know that you are in dire need of more firepower.
And just like that, 3 more miners have come down to assist you in completing your mission!

Probably already a future plan for DRG somewhere in the developers back file cabinets, but I think RIVAL should have a bunch more enemies. I think it's unrealistic that they managed to take a bit of Hoxxes, rivaling the prowess of the dwarves with only some weak drones and a few turrets and some floating pyramid in a force field. Maybe some glyphids that got mechanized, or some robots with guns that can crawl on walls.

Event Idea: Exo Disruption
Basically when you select a mission it has a small chance to contain a disruption that the dwarves have to deal with.
This event is purely optional and can be avoided.
In the deepest parts of the cave, an Exo lab has been corrupted by the thing they were researching.
Now the labs are corrupted by an unknown virus in the systems, making it's machines behave more hostile.
The lab is also emitting radio waves harmful to our equipment.
As you get closer to the lab it slowly applies a static effect to the edges of your screen, and makes all lights flicker occasionally.
You cannot call down Resupplies, or the Drop Pod, while in the area of influence.
Additionally, your high tech equipment such as turrets get disabled.
As you enter the procedurally generating facility, you fight the remaining Exo suits still active and possessed by the virus.
You must find the control panel in the research section. Then disconnect the power, and disable the thing emitting all those harmful radio waves.
Once you do that you are free to collect all the research in the facility, as well as any minerals that remain.
Maybe you might even find a matrix core.
This might suit the rival tech more, and instead your just raiding one of their failed operations.
It's not really that suitable to a space operated company but eh. Maybe they needed the minerals and their properties.

I have a few ideas to make shield link, friendly and field medic have a purpose in solo
Shield link: You can overcharge your player shield whenever you press [USE], with a 2 minute cooldown (passive is unchanged)
Friendly: Reduces self damage by 50%.
Field medic: In solo, bosco revives you faster by 25%. Once per mission, you can press [FIRE] to instantly revive yourself.
Extra notes:
I think my suggestion about shield link and friendly should also be in co-op. The reason for this is to make shield link and friendly more useful and more consistent.
The field medic change would be mainly useful as a qol perk and to keep up with defense type objectives like escort-duty and salvage-operation.

This game is amazing. My suggestion for it would be to have proper VR integration. I'm sure the devs know by now that there's an amazing VR mod for this game which is pretty popular. But because it is a mod, it has some issues that are difficult to fix. If you guys were to reach out to the mod creator, you could work together to create full on VR integration, allowing players to play together, whether they're using VR or not. No Man's Sky did the same thing and it's honestly a blast. Of course, even if you guys don't do this, the game is amazing, it's just a cool feature which could definitely bring in some new blood.

New ideas for Warnings:
Efficiency Audit
- “Well it seems that Management has decided to cut a few corners for this mission. Apparently they think that you’re wasting resupplies, so they’re making cutbacks.”
- Resupply pods cost extra nitra during this mission.
Signal Interference - “Entering dark zone, remember to- STATIC”
- Something in the rock is causing comms to be jammed. Mission Control can’t communicate with you at all, swarm music occurs when swarms arrive instead of in advance, resupply pods land inaccurately, and pings won’t show up if they’re far enough away.
Unknown Threat - “Alright team, our scans of this area are incomplete so we don’t know what dangers await you down there. Best of luck”
- It’s a mystery warning! It might be one of the other warnings or anomalies, and it might even be something entirely unexpected or new, or it could even be multiple warnings! What matters is that your HUD won’t display what it actually is so you’ll have to determine the nature of the threat by observing what you encounter.

This is by no means a considerate suggestion per se, and I understand that this might only ruin a weapon that is generally highly regarded (since one shall not fiddle with something that works fine), but I have this idea in mind that I struggle to let go of aside from typing it down here:
A method of changing the projectile speed of Breach Cutter.
Currently, the Breach cutter has the projectile speed of 10m/s, which makes its default maximum range (without considering any upgrades / Overclocks) being 15 meters given the default lifespan of beam being 1.5 seconds. And this is the only factor that changes the maximum range.
The change of projectile speed will allow the dwarves to have another factor to control the desired range of the Breach Cutter aside from the Spinning Death, Plasma Current Overclocks, or the lifespan upgrade at tier 1.
This might potentially give Breach Cutter a new niche of short ranged weapon that deals damage in a burst and differentiates itself from the Spinning Death.
I pray this idea might instigate some new thoughts. Please let me know your thoughts of this, or if similar suggestion(s) had been proposed or even rejected. Thanks again for the reading and patience, take care and mine on, rock and stone.

🧊Cryo Cannon & Fire🔥
Currently when using Cryo Cannon with a teammate who runs a fire heavy build you are forced to play around them or vice versa. This is an issue because it creates unneeded friction, and makes Cryo Cannon feel almost useless at times. There is Temperature shock, but that requires full ignition or full freezing, which still forces you to sit an wait for your team to be able to do anything.
So what's the fix? My idea is to introduce a brand new status effect applied by the Cryo Cannon. The status works as follows:
🌡️ Temperature Fluctuation🌡️
Duration: 0.2 Seconds
Refreshable Duration: Yes
Effect: While a creature has this status effect, any heat applied to the creature by a player will be negated, instead being converted into Fire type damage.
Resistances: Dreadnaughts are immune to this status effect.
The short duration ensures it will only last as long as the Cryo Cannon is actively firing. Additionally with Cryo Cannons base 8 ROF, and the ability to refresh the duration, you are able to have 100% uptime while actively firing. It converting heat to damage allow fire application to still be useful, allowing both you and a fire teammate to shoot a single target together without issue.
Overall this would allow you to freeze bugs regardless of teammates, and would prevent wasted freeze or fire when two people try to shoot the same bug.
Note: Personally I think this status should be unique to Cryo Cannon, and only applied by its direct fire (meaning its not applied by Snowball or Cold Radiance). This is because freeze on scout generally is short lived and very fast, so its not really needed there, and would likely be worse then just not having it. I don't think it should be applied by CR or Snowball for similar reasons, they are burst cold that applies in a wide area, usually freezing instantly, so it would likely be a hinderance instead of a help.

Unstable OC for the LOK-1 Smart Rifle: Beneficial Malware
Some bugger in R&D corrupted the AI of your gun with a virus. Fortunately, it seems to have some benefits, but don't blame us if the damn thing goes haywire.
Significantly increased burst ROF
-15% lock-on time
Holding a full lock for 2 seconds allows you to gain up to +6 locks past the normal threshold, each of which deals +3 damage more than a regular lock
+5 lock-on range
After firing off a burst that surpasses the lock threshold, the LOK-1 will go haywire for 3 seconds, randomly locking onto enemies and firing. you have no manual control over the gun during this time, nor can you reload or switch weapons.
-50% loose lock threshold
+0.5 reload time
As is the case with most ideas, these stats will probably have to be tweaked a bit.

Mactera Cruiser
"An incredibly rare and formidable foe, the Mactera Cruiser is a huge, artillery spewing ultimatum cooked up by the depths of hoxxes itself. This bug, considered some of the most rare and deadly of the mactera family, is barely ever encountered. It is just smaller than a detonator, but just as threatening."
The mactera cruiser is a threat not to be taken lightly, firing huge explosive projectiles which demolish the area around anywhere they hit. The cruiser is heavily armoured, with it's weak belly being protected similarly to the brundle. The armour comes in "plates", with many of them needing to be shot off before the cruiser can be damaged. This armour is heavy armour, so there is no other way to damage it other than its weak point. It's hulking body is supported by a tiny set of wings, and it's mobility is severely limited.
The cruiser almost only shows up when a bulk detonator would spawn, but in a mactera plague mission. It has an extremely rare chance to show up otherwise. The projectiles it fires would deal a massive amount of damage, and explode on impact. On a mactera plague mission, if a crassus would spawn, it would spawn a crassus cruiser instead (or on a regular mission a crassus would have a 20% chance to be a crassus cruiser). This is a variant which fires golden projectiles, which explode into gold. It can only spit a limited amount of these golden projectiles, and will resume spitting normal projectiles afterwards. The hard underbelly of the beast is now 2x as difficult to break, but due to the extreme weight of the gold it will be much, much slower.

There are several suggestions for "deep dives".
- Deep Exploration (Rival Tech season)
Briefing: a mysterious signal was received, a reconnaissance squad of four dwarves moved on the mission, but communication with them was lost.
The task of the players is to find out what happened to the dwarf squad.
Mission description: In the first cave, players will need to find and evacuate a surviving dwarf (NPC) with the help of medical drones, he will tell about other members of the reconnaissance squad and the location of the broken Molly, which will need to be repaired.
In the second cave, the dwarves need to find the PDA of one member of the reconnaissance squad and hack the large Rivals antenna to obtain data on the location of the Rival base. In the process of hacking, you will have to repair and protect the enemy's power plant.
In the third cave, it will be necessary to infiltrate the Rival base and arrange sabotage. The base will be an ellipsoid-shaped complex in a rock with antennas sticking out in different directions, designed to teleport combat units to other caves in the region. The processing of resources and the production of Rival equipment will be organized inside the base. There will also be a main reactor, a control center for internal turrets, a repository with data cubes, extracted resources, capsules with ammo, and stasis cells in which glyphids, makters and captured wounded dwarves will be examined and contained. The base will essentially be one big boss, the fight with which will begin with damage to the defense control center. Players will need to save the captured dwarves by carrying them out on themselves and destroy the base by overloading the core.
Additional task: get data cubes and pick up special resources extracted by Rivals.
Features: In the first cave there will be traces of dwarven work, mined ore, ammo capsules, fires.
In the second cave there will be bullet marks, craters from explosions and parts of dwarf armor.
- Deep washing. (Lithophage season)
Briefing: A large Lithophage meteorite crashed into Hoxxess. In the process of deepening into the planet, it broke up into several large pieces.
The task of the players is to go and clean the caves before the infection begins to spread through Hoxxess.
Mission description: in the first cave, the infection will be insignificant, there are only two infection spikes. Players will need to clear them, then go to the second wreckage.
In the second cave, the infection is already more noticeable, there may be up to two Lithophage Corruptors and possibly a Rockpox Breeder, plus three infection spikes. Players will need to clean up the infection and destroy the infectants, after which they will go to the largest last fragment of the meteorite.
In the third cave, the infection reached the highest levels, we can say that the whole cave has become a full-fledged new biome. Externally, the cave will resemble a screw around a huge hole left by the last meteorite, as you descend, caves with infection spikes will come across in the branches, and at the very bottom in a huge crater there will be a main infection spike guarded by an infected dreadnought as a boss.
The task of the players is to clear all the spikes of infection, including the main one, destroy the infected dreadnought.
Additional task: collect samples remaining from the last large spike and dreadnought.
Features: The last cave will be a full-fledged alien biome with its own flora and fauna, including assimilated ones.
- Deep destruction.(off-season mission)
Briefing: Scanners have detected a giant biosignal of unknown origin.
The task of the players is to check that this is probably a huge accumulation of glyphids, since previously such signals were not detected, you need to get rid of the threat.
Mission description: in the initial cave, players will need to destroy several cocoons of dreadnoughts located not standardly, but in a line, as in morkit mining missions, the last cocoon will already be opened, and traces of it will go further into the Hoxxess. We need to follow the tracks.
In the second cave, traces of the vital activity of a large creature (parts of dead fauna, a mysterious substance on the walls) will be found. Players will need to scan samples, and towards the end of the cave, the dwarves will hear the howl of an unknown creature.
In the third and final cave, 2 Bet-C and 2 Bosco will be sent to help the players. Several medium-sized caves will be arranged in a circle around one of the largest caves, inside which the Jagernaut, the largest glyphid in the game, will nest. Players will need to prepare to destroy this extreme threat, otherwise Hoxxess will be lost to the dwarves.
The purpose of the mission: Together with Bosco, fix the Juggernaut's legs with glue guns, distracting his attention with Bet-C (which can be destroyed). After fixing, the dwarves need to jump on the back of the "Juggernaut" and break the thick shell in the area of the creature's "neck" with picks (repeat 2-3 times). After breaking the shell, fix the "Juggernaut" one last time and trigger a drop pod right under the creature's neck, separating the creature's head from the body.
Additional task: To get parts of the "Juggernaut" (head, some organs from the inside) for further research.
Features: After the death of the Juggernaut, glyphids and macters will begin to climb from all sides to eat it, the dwarves need to have time to collect "samples".
That's all for now.

The Thunderhead I feel could keep its current stats if it had access to a multitude of damage over time effects maybe dedicate one the upgrade rows to salecting which flavor of dot you want, if the thunderhead had access to neuro toxin fire or ice it'd be great I feel I would still be worse than the hurricane in terms of dps but the shear utility would give it a niche all its own, also I think also give it an accuracy buff as much as I find it funny that 1/8 of my screen is a targetting reticle I would also like to hit the bugs at some point
astral orbit
reposting cause it got decent feedback
"attractive chemicals" for sludge pump (balanced) - applies pheromones on direct hit, but reduces regular shot damage and charged fragment count
"magnetic induction" for drak-25 (balanced) - adds a weakpoint damage bonus and improves spread or projectile speed, but reduces firing speed
"HE bolt" for boltshark (unstable) - bolts have increased radial damage and explode in a 2.5m radius, but are not retrievable, have reduced capacity and projectile speed (not applied to special bolts)
candid frost
New driller overclock for the sludge pump.
(Sure is getting alot of attention)
Toxic burst
We replaced the air compressor into a old air tire pump we had lying around allowing for burst fire charges but sadly we had to reduce the force of each individual shot
the sludge pump's secondary fire now fires a burst of 3 in quick succession
an overall increase to charge speed
minor damage loss on charge shots
slower projectile speed

New Gunner secondary:
T500 “Helix” Dual Pistols
“These dual deagles are certainly not the most modern solution to a problem, but definitely get the job done, and do so in style.”
A simple, snazzy way to dispatch bugs has just been approved by management! The dual Helixes are two desert-eagle style guns with a medium firerate and heavy hits! It is fully automatic, unlike all of gunner’s other pistols, and is a great solution for extremely low ammo builds due to its high reliability.
The helix’s main advantage is it’s reliability, with high ammo and range which allows the gunner to fend off any swarms, shoot down any gunk seeds, or pretty much anything that he doesn’t want to spend ammo on! The guns allow you to sprint while firing, and even have a small +10% firerate bonus while doing so!
The guns fire in tandem, with alternating firing. The total ammo is 18 bullets with 9 per gun, and due to the alternating nature of fire, this allows for great overclock potential. Maybe one gun fires piercing bullets and the other fires stunning, who knows.
Overall the Helixes provide a basic spray and pray gun, and even with its damage being on the lower end, its ammo being very high compared to weapons like the revolver or the coilgun.

EPC Stuff 
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Experimental_Plasma_Charger
Generally the EPC is fairly weak outside of Thin Containment Field (T5B) and Heavy Hitter (Balanced OC). This is due to 2 factors, the first being the very weak base charged shot, and the seconds being how disconnected TCF is from the base stats.
To fix these issues, I recommend a two changes:
- 1: Convert all charged shot direct damage to AOE damage
Charge shots base AOE damage is 60, with it only reaching 90 with both charged shot damage mods. This is criminal considering it costs 8 ammo at base (leaving you with only 15 charged shots at base), and doesn't even kill a grunt with its AOE. Converting this damage to AOE increases the utility and power of normal charged shots. FYI, at base 20 damage, 8 ammo is equal to 160 normal shot damage.
If this change proves too strong, you can increase the charged shot cost by ~2 ammo to balance it out.
- 2: Make TCF dependent on the weapons stats
Currently there is zero reason to use or invest in normal charged shots, cause TCF deals a flat 240 damage. So even if you build full damage you see zero benefit when running TCF, and if you build full ammo, you lose zero damage when using TCF.
With the above change, making it deal 200% of the AOE damage would result in it having the same damage as it does now, but would make picking things like Persistent plasma have an actual cost, and make picking things like Overcharger have actual benefit.
Additionally making its AOE dependent on the base weapons AOE stat allows T4A to be useful while running it. This would reduce its AOE size by 1m at base, but with it's extreme power I feel that it would be warranted, and if the nerf is too extreme, the lost 1M could easily be added onto base EPC.
Overall I feel these two changes certainly wouldn't fix all of the EPC's issues, but they would widen the range of effective builds, and reduce the staleness of EPC's mod tree.

Throwing a grenade in a stingtail's grab trajectory as it's grabbing makes it grab the grenade instead.

A beard which looks like a drill (
)
Description could be "It takes the skill of stonemason and the patience of a rock to maintain this thing.", "Sharp enough to split a comb", or maybe "Some dwarves thinks a beard like this gives good luck during deep dives. Others think it makes you look tacky."
Potential sizes, maybe we could get a mini and macro version? If not, I'd prefer the macro version.

probably been suggested before but being able to customize headwear a little more would be nice, like having separate categories for hair, helmets/hats (that don't cover your head entirely) and stuff like the eyepatch. I want to combine the hat with the eye patch but i can't and its just annoying
fluid pelican

Just an idea but pretty cool
POWER SHOT
(unstable overclock for gunners lead storm minigun)
Pros
-0.2 seconds to spin up time
Press reload while firing to fire a shotgun blast of lead that consumes 4 ammo
-15% spread
+2 to rof
Cons
+25% heat generation
-2 damage
(Note PowerShot will fill your heat meter by 10% of your current heat and have to be firing to trigger it kinda like Overdrive booster and it's spread would kinda be like boomsticks but a little tighter)
Description
By installing a prototype accelerator into the main battery of the gun it allows the lead storm to spin up faster and compensates for spread a little bit but because of the placement of the accelerator it interferes with the battery and causes the gun to heat up faster and boosts your rate of fire a tad,
But as an added bonus we've added a button that allows you to overcharge the accelerator and pelt a blast of hot lead at anything in front of you
(Note this OC would probably be good paired with aggressive venting and Magnetic bearings)
Notes: PowerShot takes 0.3 seconds to charge before it fires
But you start firing immediately after you fire it
Just an idea
But pretty cool though
nimble abyss
Add a little tip on the septic spreader's entry on the miner's manual saying that you can shoot down their goo

How about a Nightmare Deep Dive which changes every 2 weeks or every month and it is just an elite deep dive but has 6 or 7 rounds instead of 3 and it has better loot the furthur down you go, but gets harder too. After every round when players are in the drop pod, players can just vote to leave with their current loot or continue and go furthur down, risking losing everything they got for better loot. You can only enter with tickets awarded for finishing any deep dive (normal or elite).

Replace SuperCooling Chamber's steep ammo reduction with a major boost to ammo consumption in focused shots (either 3 or 4 ammo per focus shot), letting normal shots be used almost as freely as without the overclock (since said overclock has no effect on normal shots).

Experimental Rounds Rework
-Reduce damage bonus from 9 to 3

Do the devs still check this? Can I get an overclock for the minigun that allows me to float around while shooting straight down? Similar to the special powder OC for scout's boomstick. Or perhaps I'd be stuck looking through mods for it
twilit wolf
Overclocks for support weapons?
Imagine a turret that shoots explosive bullets, shield that damages enemies, a C4 that leaves a toxic cloud, or a flare that scares enemies. I think it would be really cool if right balanced, and may give classes a little more flavor
radiant wyvern
This is mainly to give late game players something to grind for. Once someone has unlocked every overclock for one of the classes, there should be overclock upgrades available that are obtained exactly like normal overclocks. These upgrades would add a little icon or star onto the overclocks image to show it was upgraded. The upgrades themselves would be minimal, slightly reducing nerfs that overclocks cause or slightly increasing buffs. For example, plascrete catylist could be upgraded to only remove 25 of the battery cap and slightly decrease the time needed to cause an explosion.

Make "Backbreaker Stout" more fun and useful. Increase carry movement speed to regular dwarf run speed

Could we have the custom waypoint appear on the compass at the top of the screen?

Make the gunner's traversal tool actually usable. It kinda sucks without mods. The angle threshold is too small, the distance threshold is too short and it's very slow to ride unless you're going downward.

When Bosco carries a heavy item, I think it would be very useful if marking a place, instead of lighting, you command Bosco to leave the item there. Also if u mark the mule, drop pod, refinery, or that stuff, he could deposit the item
boreal trail
Was thinking a fun idea would be if you made a fps pvp DRG. 5v5 game like capture the egg, team deathmatch/slayer, free for all, infected like halo (concept mushroom type that takes over hosts like ants and spiders in real life, sort of "last of us" vibe , crazy enough further down development could even have big team battle. Dare to imagine underground vehicles lol. Just a fun concept for the future of this game as it develops for years to come. This would take a lot of resources and balancing of the core classes and guns/utility but could be a fun game if it is made properly. Was in my brain a little bit so felt like sharing it! Best wishes, hope to see pvp in 3 years maybe :p lol.
kindred python
Can we have a type of enemy that have a shell designed in a way that when a dwarve shoot at it, the bullet will richochet back at them or their teammates. They will have like this appendage part that emerge in their body in a pattern, it will emerge for a while then disappear then remerge again in a rythm like pattern. Making the dwarf calculate the best moment to shoot to prevent bullet ricochet. Or they can just rush and melee it. However, directly meleeing it will not be good, maybe give it somekind of homing projectile like that alien gun in half life where it will hit you provided it see you so facing it head-on means you'll get holes on your body, or you can lure it into a trap like placing c4 or something

A skin pack to the likes of Roughneck, Decontaminator, Rival tech, etc. centered around the old west, with a bulldog heavy revolver looking more like a smith and Wesson, and the scout’s m100 rifle look more western as well, also the double barrel and the engineer’s shotgun all of those would look great! Rock and stone!

If you tell Bosco to target an Ebonite Glyphid he should mine it instead of shooting at it.

Two vaguely connected ideas: A positive mission modifier, "Bet-C Support" where we drop in along with an allied Bet-C with all its abilities intact.
There's so many things in this game that could be used in more than one way, like minimules, Bet-C, and the OMEN, so...
Second idea: Rival bots taken over by Charge-Suckers. (Rockpox Charge-Suckers?)

Mactera Queen and King
The Mactera Queen will spawn small mactera that will start as maggots on the ground, they'll grow if they're not killed quickly. The queen flies slowly, and you can tell by her high pitched wailing and loud buzzing wings.
Mactera King is like a Stingtail and Septic spreader, but flying. You can tell one is nearby by the low pitch buzzing wings.
Both have hard expskeletons like a Praetorean or oppressor.
Hoarder detonator.
A rough description for brevity is that it's what you get when you combine a Crasus detonator with a hoarder. It is highly aggressive and will spew molten glass in your direction! Your best option is to kill it quickly! Like the Crasus detonator, it'll leave a mineral laced area in a circle when killed, however it will instead coast the area in rapid cooling minerals, based on it's mineral color. So you might find one that hoards phasyonite, or croppa, or bismor, or even bittergem! It is a slow-moving hostile bug that will kill anything smaller than itself because it values it's mineral of choice more than anything, and explodes when killed.

A beer grenade.
One of the dwarves thought of taking beer with them without violating the DRG rules.
After the throw, for a while he jumps like a ball, pouring beer on everything under him, which leads to disorientation of bugs that stop attacking.
Drinking a grenade can reduce the damage received. Hehehe
Okay, there are some suggestions for grenades.
Scout. - electric shock grenades.
An electric discharge is released over an area, which fades with distance. With a large swarm wave, all nearby bugs are shocked and take damage.
Engineer. - a vacuum (singular) grenade.
Creates a zone that draws in small and medium-sized creatures, after which an explosion occurs with the scattering of "fragments", namely teeth, legs and pieces of armor of glyphids and macters, covering a large area. Attracts parts of armor from large creatures.
Gunner. - a ballistic grenade.
It is more effective in large caves. When throwing, flying at an average height, marking the drop zone with a laser pointer, the player determines at what point to launch the charge (pressing "G" again), after which it accelerates sharply falling down, which leads to a powerful explosion covering a large area. The technology is based on antimatter.
Driller. - A wave (sound) grenade.
Releases a powerful sound wave that stuns all creatures in a large area, and also breaks armor from bugs.
tropic wadi
The depositor perk should make molly walk faster when called by said perk user

Overclock idea: Hot Rod Barrels
Type: Clean ✅
Class: Gunner
Weapon: Lead Storm 
"Some barrel width and Round casing adjustments have enabled the implementation of a newly developed Gyro attachment that should let you move freely at no cost. This one's on the house."
Small Speed boost upon killing a Medium or larger enemy
No movement penalty, and you may Sprint while firing.
With the current overclock options for the Lead Storm, Adding Hot Rod Barrels would let you pick between Improved damage output, a greater ammo pool, or improved Mobility, which I feel gunner is lacking in.

DRG support items.
Upside: To unlock them costs brewing ingredients.
Downside: To make them worth a damn you gotta spend minerals and credits.
Upside: They provide multi-class perks.
Downside: It's a one-time per mission use item not resupplied! MAKE IT COUNT!
Goldifying grenade: Infects all enemies in the smoke cloud's range with a virus that turns biological material into gold. Makes bugs drop a gold nugget worth 1 gold when killed. Large gold nugget if Glyphid Praetorian or larger! Dreadnaughts will yield 3 gold chunks. If used on a bulk detonator, it turns it into a Crasus Detonator!

Can we make hidden dwarves payable through credits. Just make an in-lore reason being, Management seeing that Hidden Dwarves is really popular and can be used to increase staff morale and this can also be a lucrative side venture for DRG selling it to other places, so they acquired Hydengözik Brewery or maybe invested in that brewery, that means, the raw materials needed for crafting have already been supplied for by DRG. However, since this is coming out of DRG's pockets so the price for hidden dwarves is like high, but not too high. We should also add another type of Hidden Dwarves that makes the seeker drunk with their visioned affected, however, they are compensated with more reavealing balls.

More Nayaka family members?
I imagine they habit warm areas, so first of all, I think we should be able to find trawlers in another biomes, like salt pits or REZ.
I was thinking in a Nayaka mole, similar to cave leeches, but hide in the ground, just showing their shark fin, if it catches you, it will move similar to trawlers, but in a smaller area, and slower, but entering in the ground some times.

"It is rumored that new mysterious creatures began to be noticed in the Hoxxes caves, the dwarves gave them the name "Corelf", as they began to appear at the same time when they began actively mining "Ommoran Heartstone". The leadership of the DRG denies everything and blames all the burns received by the dwarves on careless handling of equipment.
And yet, the affected dwarves describe "Corelf" as unlike any kind of creatures they have previously seen, these are definitely not Glyphids or Macters, their attacks are exclusively energetic in nature. The dwarves also experienced inexplicable aggression towards these creatures."
For a variety of gameplay, I propose a new kind of creatures other than glyphids and macters.
"Corelf" (can be renamed).
Creatures have a crystal base, are able to attack with energy pulses, lightning, laser, and even have an energy barrier that stops or slows down projectiles (the list goes on). Naturally, they are separated by types of attack and defense.

A Holo-deck in the space rig.

What about Bosco OCs? In higher hazard missions Bosco is not so helpful
The design could be a purple circle with squares at the bottom, top and sides. I have some ideas for some Bosco OCs, but please, focus on the main idea to do your or , here's the list
Engineer best friend: if ordered to, Bosco can help building turrets, repairing dotty, stablish a proper connection between the pod and the space rig, repairing mini mules, and all that includes building or repairing.
Lighter: replaces the rockets for flares (like the flare gun ones without any mod)
Strong circuits: carries heavy objects faster, and can leave them in the place player marks, that includes depositing, if you mark the mule or other deposit spots
Flying minecart: can hold 40 minerals like a deposit (40 in total, no matter what mineral it is (like 20 gold 20 nitra for example)), and can deposit them if you mark a deposit spot, but cannot shoot or mine while carrying minerals (he can just light in this state)
Mineral gatherer: the same as the flying minecart, but instead of collecting from the players, he grabs chunks from the ground. For balance purposes, he can't mine anymore, unless it's an egg, pearl, dirt, or something like that
Good robot ears: Bosco can now hear better you screams for help, comes to revive faster, and goes to help faster when caught by a grabber or similar
The robot torch: lights around him (just a bit, like half a flare)
Boom Bosco!: can Carry one missile, but recharges the double fast and deals damage in a larger area
sage tundra
A sandwich bar. Similar to the craft(able) beers, the sandwiches provide minor benefits or minor negative effects.

Some suggests for next patch:
Buff drillers neurotox grenade.
-sticks to surface
-gas disperses instantly after ground contact
-lingers for longer and possibly more area coverage
-since it deals low damage, maybe make it 6 instead of 4 in your pockets
Some sort of "Handyman" Passive perk that speeds up all maintenance (mini mules, doretta, rock crackers etc) up to 1.5x when top tier unlocked. (Engi turrets included, please🥺🥺🥺)
twilit wolf
a real use for mini mules in missions. It's contradictory that we find so much mini mules in salvage mission, but our dwarves, (some of Wich are ruby promoted) have never used, or seen a mini mules working exept from walking and following the big mule with no purpose at all.
I imagine it could be fun if you found a "carrying help request" like a remote, In caves, and the players that find it, gets a mini mule for itself, that works as a normal mule, but follows that specific player
Also instead of a mule, you can get a mini mule in solo missions
real geyser
For the supporter pack 3, include a pickaxe framework which shoots out confetti when you rock and stone
naive pike
spawn remains of the previous team's mission in salvage operation sometimes
stuff like partially built pipelines or half-mined morkite veins
broken supply pods should also be more common there
hardy oxide
Likely isn’t a good suggestion but oh wel,
(An optional solo choice, when with no friends), adding a Resupply pod that is at a cheaper price, but at the cost of half the supplies, allowing for quick preparations and if you’d like an immediate source of health and ammo.
Cost: 40-50 Nitra
2 Resupplies instead of 4
Every other statistic remaining the same analytics, and whatnot
Could be bought as possibly a perk, or a toggle-able feature in the solo option for missions.
(Only downfall is beit a lack of surplus incase it is needed, which could deem this suggestion useless if so.)
spark quest
separate headwear into categories: hairstyle, headwear (hats and helmets) and eye-things (glasses, goggles, eye patches) for even MORE customization

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Exp...
EPC part 2: Tier 5 Boogaloo
The other issue with EPC is the lack of effective options in T5. T5A, Burning Nightmare is only used on Heavy Hitter single shot builds, and T5C, Plasma Splash has basically zero uses, and is often a downgrade compared to base. So the following are the buffs I think will improve the current sorry state of T5.
-
Reinstate Explosion from Burning Nightmare
It makes sense that it would lack an explosion, as you are trading an AOE for infinite blow through, but this usually isn't that effective. And comparing it to TCF we see that this downside is totally unnecessary. TCF gives you 4 times the base area damage and reduces heat per shot at no cost, while BN reduces AOE, removes AOE damage, and prevents the explosion, all for a small amount of heat applied and blow through. This is ridiculously unbalanced, so reinstating the AOE brings BN closer to TCF in effectiveness. -
Remove Area Decrease from Burning Nightmare
Burning Nightmare currently decreases area by 70%, leaving you with a puny 0.6m radius. This is to allow you to easily make use of its blow through without hitting terrain, but with the above change wouldn't make much sense. So it now only reduces the hitbox of the charged shot. Giving you the intended benefit of making it easier to blow through targets, without reducing the effectiveness of the explosion.
So, with all the above changes Burning Nightmare would now be as follows:
🔥New Burning Nightmare🔥
Charged Shots can pass through targets, but still explode on terrain. Charged Shots deal Fire damage equal to the charged shot damage, and applies an equal amount of Heat damage to any bug it touches while in flight. Additionally normal shots and the charged shot explosion applies heat.

Here's a thought on flares: when you're staying in one area, the flare recharge rate is perfectly fine, but when you're covering any decent amount of ground, you're going to run low constantly, especially when playing solo.
So what if flares recharged a bit faster (and I mean just a bit, like 10% faster or something close to it) when moving/sprinting, like kinetic charging (or maybe after X sec of sprinting)? I'm not floating this as an upgrade that needs to be purchased, just a buff to help flares be a bit more tolerable when covering a lot of ground.

Overclock for: Sludge pump
Type: clean/balanced
Sludge puddles, on top of their already existing status effects, will apply other statuses after making contact with their sources
less ammo (if in form of balanced OC)
Basically if sludge makes contact with any source of status effect, it will copy it on top of its typical DoT and slow, for instance if you shot sludge puddle with stubby and this shot will be containing electro DoT, now this puddle and all connected other puddles connected to it will also deal electro DoT to enemies, same goes to cryo etc.
The problem I have with this idea is the fact of how team dependent it is, and that drillers primaries dont really have any effects to combo with it (outside posion and radiation from CWC, and fire from EPC, but this one doesnt count as it already combis with sludge). Maybe in future, when subata and epc gain more status effect in their mod tree or in form of OCs, this idea will be more interesting.
But in its current state I would make it clean, as its not guaranted to give much value outside asking ur team for building around it or only using CWC with it. But if in the future drillers secondaries gain more ways of applying statuses, I would go as far as making it a balanced OC with ammo penalty (due to how ammo effective it might be)

vagrant bone
For a while I've had a few small nitpicks with DRG. QoL kind of stuff.
- Being able to change the order of setups. - The longer I played and more overclocks I unlocked, I started using my set pages to fullfill certain roles(making sets for crit-weakness, overall aoe, fire, dot, etc.). Some time later I also started to customize my dwarfs to reflect what set am I wearing. The problem is that right now most of them are not in order, ie: Crit set is on A for
, B for 
, D for
and E for 
. I'd like to have an easy way to move sets that fulfill similar or the same role (like have all crits on A). Right now I would need to overwrite one of sets and risk forgetting what I had there. A function that would swap indexes of sets could difer by whether I want to swap only one set from control panel(like if I want to swap only weapon mods) or total swaps(WM, Drip, Pickaxe) - Being able to see what bonus do I get from equiped weapon mods/OC. Sometimes I want to check what bonuses/penalties do I get from OCs, but the only way to check it right now is to un-equip them or however on the other OC and calculate whether this one does not modifies the same stats that are currently changed. UI shows either yellow, red or green texts to show what are the stats, penalties, buffs. We could use some shade of blue for highlighting what stats are changed and in what way. (f.e. some OC are flat nerf by constant amount and weapon mods to compensate those loses are not affected, while other OC modifiers are % which changes the amount of the stat I might try to compensate - like ammo mods with Fatboy)
- Clear explanation of OC effects/richochettes/blowthroughs. I just want to know those parameters and functions. Is Fatboy's whole power in explosion, or do some of it gets transfered to radiation damage left? Same with minelets and other special OCs and their functions. Also, I'm still not sure if ricochete and blowthrough are compatible modifications or should I resign from those mods(f.e. Bullet Hell, should I swap that tier mod to armour break, or is it still good?). Game could use a more complex manual explanations somewhere to know if you play he game optimally.
- Space Rig might become stale if you play prop hunt too much - some static props should change positions from time to time(f.e. during seasonal event and after them).

a perk that allows the dwarf to burn or freeze bugs beyond the max temperature change, either 'Incinerating' them and giving the poor bug on the other end of the flames twice the effects of normal burning or 'Glacializing' them to make the already frozen bug pop like a balloon upon taking damage (nearly, if not, double the effects of regular frozen)
i say 'perk' very open-endedly, could be an active perk where this is the passive and the active attack is releasing a puff of freezing vapor or burning flames (depending on your most recently given temperature change) or it could even just be an armour upgrade for a single dwarf (you could probably guess who)

Making Steeve be able to return to the space rig. Steve can drink beer, dance to music, harass Loyd, play with the disco ball and he wears a collar. Steve will roam around the space rig until you exit the game. When you return, in the abyss bar, there would be a small pillow with a dog bowl, but on the pillow there will be a collar. Interacting with the collar will prompt a message by mission control who says Steve is captured and sent to R&D to study how to tame glyphids, breeding a domesticated breed of glyphids, researching glyphids phriendly pheromone, etc. and also it's a punishment by management for bringing in animals. The dwarves will respond sadly and interacting with the collar will make the dwarves say how much they miss Steve. The collar and pillow and dog bowl will stay after several rounds before they disappear because HR deems that these things damage morale. Interacting with the collar when drunk will give unique results. If a new glyphid is brought home. The current glyphid will be replaced with the new one. There will be a announcement by mission control on how they hear weird noises in the vent, or how one of the guys saw a wandering bugs, or how HR is calming employees down about the wandering glyphids etc.

I came up with these weapons for a different game, although they might suit this game well too, with a couple tweaks.
Scorcher (Perk)
As you preform actions, like shooting, moving around, or anything really, you start to gain "heat".
Whenever you have heat, you produce an aura around you that burns anything within a few meters.
The more heat you have, the faster and more bugs burn.
However if your target has some kind of cold effect, it must burn through it before dealing damage.
This also applies to bugs in cold environments.
||(This might work better being a high level armor mod, with a twin mod doing the same thing but mirrored.)||
E.I.G (Grenade)
The Emergency impulse grenade. It does no damage, however when it lands, it pushes anything away with great force.
Useful if you need space, or for when you just feel a bit silly.
Shockstorm (Charged Weapon)
I saved the most dramatic for last. The Shockstorm is a burst fire area control weapon, that suffers from low range.
It requires you to charge before firing, you must charge to at least 25% max charge before firing.
You can fire it when not fully charged for some quick damage, although it's not going to do much.
If you fully charge you get a small damage bonus, and maybe apply a debuff.
When you actually fire the weapon it fires a large fan of electrified crystals. ||(Same thing used in the Crystalline Caverns)||
The same target can be hit by multiple crystals, making it lethal at point blank.
||(There could also be an overclock where the projectiles stick to surfaces and have an electric arc between crystals. Like scouts taser bolts.)||

- Power attacks dig twice as deep into terrain and clears small chunks of minerals.
- Power attacks have a greater AOE effect.
- Power attacks will always break armor.

CUSTOMISABLE MEMORIAL HALL
Hi, I'm quite new here, but I wanted to share something that I thought during my (little) time playing DRG.
I love the concept of the memorial hall, it really adds to the comradery and the feeling of community of the game.
And I think that it would be very cool if there was a way of changing outfits, poses and maybe weapons of the statues of the classes. This way anytime you host or join someone on the space rig you can see favourite weapons, looks and everything.
Moreover the grafics on the walls are fantastics, but if there was a way of changing and styling those too.
I think it would add customisability and would be a fun and respectful way of personalising the space rig.
I don't have other notes, I love this gameee
ROCK AND STONE MINERS
tropic wadi
Overclock for: LeadStorm minigun
Type: Unstable
changes the minigun rounds into shotgun shells greatly increasing dmg at close range (for the sake of the concept showcase lets say one shell contains 10 pellets)
greatly decreases ammo
the spread doesnt decrease with each round shot, basically u stay at base spread forever, the spread may even be increased to decrease T1 spread mod influence
slightly/medium decrease in dmg, to keep the dps in check, so it doesnt melt dreads THAT fast
the LeadStorm cant stun enemies anymore
So, basically what I wanted to do is to make my shotgun minigun fantasies come true, and make them into something that will be fun, but also balanced, and I came up with an OC that is basically sludge blast for LS.
I gave it ammo penalty to make ammo management a important part of this OC, as in my head it would shred thru swarms and big targets in similiar manner to breach cutter, and I dont want fellow dworfs to just spam this like with normal minigun, and annihilate the whole mission on one mag lol
Dmg penalty is here manly to make it a little bit less effective on dread missions, tho the dps still might be too high and then fire rate decrease might be added as aditional con, or take place the "no stun" one (as it will have less dps and killing big targets wont be so easy, so I would be fine with having the stun to keep preats in place for easier kill)
The spread not going down is here for obvious reasons of keeping the spirit of the OC, its supposed to be close range crowd sweeper and preats ass annihilator, I dont want this to be able to snipe spitballers acorss the room lol (u have ur secondary for this kind of stuff)
The stun penalty is here because I want this OC to be all about killing things now, I dont want to give it any crowd control from stun, its all about pure dmg

Probably a big ask, but I've noticed that Steeve won't attack air units attacking him even if they're sitting right on top of him, well within what could be considered his melee range. Would be great if he could at least defend himself in those situations.
Alternatively, if he had a special sound he makes when he's being attacked by something he can't hit. That would help when I'm fighting macteras and it's not until I kill them and turn around that I find there was one behind us chipping away at Steeve the entire time.

The current meta game about the union and also the events feel kind of static. I would not remove either of them, but add some more dynamic content to the weekly objectives, similar to another popular game right now.
So there should be some kind of goals to be achieved in the game that depend on the outcome of the previous mission. In addition some fun context could be added to the DRG universe for all those fluff enjoyers like me.
In the long run the missions could be "circular" so that you would repeat the same missions some day, so you would not necessarily need to do this like a live service. If this occurs the mission becomes harder so the other outcome is more likely.
Example:
Competitors to DRG are about to deliver a liquid morkite deposit. Overall goal is to slow the competitor down so that DRG is able to make their own delivery in time.
To avoid this do following missions:
A) Complete classic industrial sabotage (slows competitor)
B) Complete resource X/secondary goals to finance the sabotage missions, giving a bonus to A or BThe harder the mission solved, the more it contributes to the overall goal. Depending on the outcome the next mission is defined:
Competitors win:
DRG needs to catch up in liquid morkite generation for the next delivery by working harder.
A.1) Complete On-Site Refining missions
A.2) Defend the refining by doing eliminiation missions (dreadnought eggs have been placed near DRG refining missions)DRG win:
Competitors have countered by trapping DRG teams
B.1) Complete salvage operations to resuce what is lost
B.2) Find lost packs
torpid prism
okay. so upon exstraction there is a like 1% chance that the escape pod engines fail shortly after takeoff. so the pod plumits back down its exit hole and slams into the ground. the really loud sound creates a apsolute sh!it storm of glyphids to come investigating while management sends down a replacement booster modular or something that you have to install in a final like 5-10 minute last stand type thing. so like a random encounter at the end of the match that throws everything off.

The driller Tesla coil idea is a bit overdone but here’s my take on it
GTP-500 Arc Thrower
”Coming straight from the depths of Hoxxes, this fusion of crystals and thorium reactors is custom-built to dispatch even the largest of bugs with relative ease. It is expensive and EXTREMELY experimental, and I don’t want to do any more paperwork, so be careful.”
The GTP is a powerful single-shot weapon, with low area clear but very high damage. The GTP boasts the highest DPS out of every driller weapon, however unlike all of them the AoE is lacking.
Firing the GTP fires a strong bolt of lightning with a loud crack, which explodes a set distance from the Driller. The explosion radius is very small, with it only able to kill a small amount of grunts. However, to make up for this, a new mechanic for this gun called Static will arc between any bugs or robots near. Static is a low-damage, high-stun damage type and will arc between 5 glyphids before stopping. Any bugs caught in the initial explosion will release static, which can only chain to one enemy at a time. This allows for extremely high single target, while allowing the other teammates (or your trusty subata) to pick off any stunned bugs.
The Arc Thrower only has one bullet per magazine, resulting in the player being punished severely from missing shots. Each reload is speedy, like the PGL. The ammo for this gun is a thorium cell, which the driller swaps out every shot. A base levelled gun can shoot 40 times before completely running out of ammo, resulting in the player needing to carefully balance their ammo between their primary and secondary.
The GTP has a rough, experimental look which fits in with weapons like the Shard Diffractor or the DRAK. Hazard labels, wires and even a USB port are common place on this gun. The bolts it fires are bright and illuminate the area around you for a split second, and the static effect is shown via a small electric beam shooting through the bugs.
Overall, this gun is a great alternative to the rest of Driller’s kit, and provides a unique playstyle apart from the common trope of high area and passive damage that driller’s kit is known for. (Also, static deals x5 damage to robots for obvious reasons.)

Well, last time they put a "bot" label on my suggestion, probably not understanding the reference to helldivers 2, later I added a description to my suggestion. Okay, no problem, this time I will write directly, without creative text.
I suggest adding a new biome, namely the native biome of loot bugs and a terrible nightmare for dwarves.
Description:
There are no ore veins and other ore formations on the walls and floor in the caves of the biome. But a unique flora and fauna thrives in the cave, which is essentially a symbiosis of microorganisms that feed on ore and simultaneously use this ore as bones and weapons. And it is in this pseudo flora and pseudo fauna that the entire ore of the biome is contained.
Features of flora behavior:
Protective type - hides and/or is covered with a durable shell.
The indifferent type does not react, tries to merge with the local flora, freezes when he feels someone approaching.
Defensive type - will defend itself in response to an attack.
Aggressive type - attacks when the victim is within reach.
Features of the behavior of the fauna:
A timid type - tries to escape, can become covered with a shell.
The indifferent type does not react in any way.
The defensive type - strikes in response to aggression.
Aggressive type - attacks if someone is in the habitat of the creature.
All pseudo flora and fauna differ in the type of ore they feed on.
The alpha predator of the biome is a "Mimic" dwarves call it a "Nightmare" it feeds on all types of ore, the creature is able to transform into any form of flora and fauna of the biome, including even a dwarf if he has a bucket full of ore, is able to shout "Rock and Stone!", and steal a bucket of ore. Attacks only in close combat (in that case with a pickaxe), cannot shoot. Is a dwarven nightmare and another reason for the horrors of Hoxxess.

The called-in drop pod placement, especially for solo play, can be punishing to the point where it makes mission completion impossible. I've had a drop pod land in the ceiling at the top of a long, vertical tunnel as a gunner, after I followed Molly until the point where I had 1.5 mins to try to tunnel up there, with bugs chewing my ass the whole way, and still never even SAW the pod because it was so far up. I've also heard of it landing on top of a pillar near the ceiling of a massive cavern, meaning a solo driller would need to drill all the way around the outside of the cavern to drop on top of it, again, with bugs chewing them the whole way there, something that's just not going to happen on haz4/5 in most cases (if they even have enough time to dig the tunnel on arriving there in the first place).
So could called-in drop pod placement please be tweaked to prevent this from happening? I know the game was designed for group play, but solo is a mode a lot of people enjoy and there's an achievement for playing 100 solo missions. The challenge should come from making it through the swarm of bugs and safely into the drop pod, not discovering the pod has dropped in a place thoroughly out of reach for the amount of time you have left to reach it.
As you can see from the number of people who dislike this suggestion #suggestions message , it's not fun to have success snatched from the jaws of victory due to randomness beyond your control, especially at the end of what may have been a long and difficult mission.

Not sure if this would work for every weapon, but when born ready triggers you should drop an empty mag of the weapon regardless of if you're holding it or not. It would be a nice alternative to the audio queue.
paper ferry
The above suggestion just reminded me of an idea I had but forgot to post.
When using born ready on any weapon whether via a perk or upgrade, if the player switches to the affected weapon within 1 seconds of born ready finishing, it continues to do so anyway.
This would help people use the perk a tiny bit more, and not mess with people trying to use muscle memory as opposed to the audio cues (which are actually delayed mind you and not always audible).
If needs be, it could play the last part of the weapon reload animation required, or who knows, maybe even have its own animations for each weapon that speeds up based on the time left out of the remaining one second.
But maybe that's a bit far, just the mechanic would be nice

New type of mission contract: Marble Extraction
Instead to hunting new minerals, Deep Rock Galacting got interest in fancy rocks. Used for two things: decorating the fancy halls and houses of rich dwarfs and the second is to extract chemical components for R&D.
With the "Chainsaw" Drilldozer, named Carla, we must collect 5 full blocks of different marbles and defend the Chainsaw Drilldozer while is still operating since the noise generated start a wave round of enemies until the block is extracted.
Each colored marble block could include simple white blocks to more intricate one with fossil made of plants or ancient creatures. Considering how it works the color scheme of every block could be divided in white, green, blue, purple and orange.
Once a block is extracted, the dwarfs must call the HQ and require a cargo container of extraction where every block will be stock by flying drones and once the mission is complete we can send the whole cargo in orbit. And of course, we can also save Carla from her horrible fate to be left alone on Hoxxes too.

New type of mission contract: The Glyphid bio fuel
Since Glyphid, mactera and many other insectoid species are so prolific in Hoxxes the DRG administration realize the bugs can be converted into bio fuel, extreme cheap and very helpfull to cover the high demand in the fuel market.
With the Glyphid bio fuel we guard a special trap slaughterhouse for bugs and lure any species where their corpse are converted into liquid. I wasn't able to find proper pictures but this is the idea. From a slaughter house. The "glyphid jump" in the trap and we get the bio fuel. Would be similar to the "oil whale" concept. And the whole facility is inspired by an actual bug trap but with buzz saw. The trap is filled with pheromones and will drive the locals as a "dinner call". But this will also call the attention of possible glyphid predators or eventual badass variants who wants eat all the bait.
Once the trap silos is fully charge is possible send into orbit

Color for amount of Ammo when your ammo of weapon/device going under 50%. If more than 50% then it be one color for text, if under 50% - another color. (Maybe 2 colors in brightness aspect, more Bright - more Full, or standard color to more than 50%, a little bit orange/yellow for less).
Or in addition can be added a small number of half of ammo amount from the side of Ammo HUD. But with option to config this small number on HUD to ON/OFF.
It will be great to see due to resupply capsule restores a 50% of all your gear.

Idea for MK7 armour:
Ever wanted a more role-fitting armour type rather than just a suit? Look no further than the new, DRG-issued MK7! These new suits (appear to) have some sort of function related to the job of the user, apart from maybe a bit less gear for the scout or heavy plates for the gunner.
Scout
Scout’s gear is still lighter, but with a reinforced titanium spine and steel-framed boots to assist with those heavy landings. Along with this, he is equipped with a small antenna and a blinky red light, just in case he gets lost. A few flares are hooked to his belt, along with an extra hook or two.
Gunner
Equipped with the plating of a tank and about enough bullets to dispose of one, the Gunner’s armour is made up of heavily fortified plates, complete with a few scorch marks and scratches. The armour resembles a tank's hull, with bolts, plates and a few hazard signs here and there. To fuel his arsenal, a bandolier of bullets is strung over it. Just in case, he has a few grenades attached to his waste, along with a box of rockets. His backpack is similar to the MK5s, however it contains a tank of red sugar on the top, in case somehow an attack penetrates the heavy ass armour.
Engineer
The engineer's new kit is a tinkerer's heaven! Equipped with a toolbox on his back, spanners and wrenches stuffed in his belt, and a few trinkets here and there, there is nothing this man cannot fix. His chestplate is a much lighter suit of armour, but with extra protection around the joints. It is a custom-made design, so his beautiful welding can be seen in between the plates on his chest. On his back is a large welding kit, definitely used to patch up anything in sight.
Driller
The Driller's suit is reminiscent of a walking factory/V8 engine. Tubes everywhere, exhaust everywhere, and heat sinks lining the back of his suit. As a backpack, he gets his very own extra large fuel tank to power his new and fancy suit. As a bonus, when his drills overheat, the heat sinks on his back pop out momentarily.

Automated Beam Controller should remove the 50% movement speed penalty (or maybe reduce it to a 20%) from firing Shard.
For reference, current stats are:
+100 ammo (Shard has 300 base or 400 with T1 C)
+4 Discharge Rate (RoF). Base shard has 13.
-0.2s recharge time. Base is 1.6s, or 0.8s with T3 B.
-20% charge capacity (so 50->40 base, or 100->80 with T3 A).
Can't stop firing once you start. If you cancel firing by changing weapon etc. you lose ammo equal to 1/2 the charge capacity (so 20 or 40 depending).
I feel like the mobility buff would give it a niche so it isn't just "bad overdrive booster", whilst also being unique amongst Shard OCs.

Honor badges should equate to the statue color/paint in the memorial hall for each dwarf. Base is stone, Bronze is Bronze, Silver is Silver, Gold is Gold, etc. Once you get all dwarves to a certain promotion level the center statue changes to be the same. Just a nice way to add more to the memorial hall as once all dwarves are promoted it looks the same forever.

Because gold conducts electricity and heat well, and it is so bountiful to the point of being massively devalued. Why not make gold plated bullets an upgrade? For energy weapons, because this thing conducts electricity and heat well so it will boost the stats of the weapon? Gold plated bullets can either cause extra electrical or heat damage. If you mine enough gold, then the next time you order a resupply pod, gold will automatically be deducted. The bullets in the pod will have said effects, if you run out of those gold plated bullets for guns or gold-infused battery for energy weapon, the weapon stats and bullet property returns to normal. 80 gold will be deducted

Hello there. I brought you some perk tweak ideas. I'll dump them in one post and try to make it short, hope that's OK with you. Will be happy to elaborate in the discussion channel if you're interested.
Strong arm: in addition to all current effects, hold grenade button for up to 1 second to increase throw force by up to this perk's flare throw force bonus. Same bonus is also applied to C4.
It's a bug thing: lootbugs killed by this perk drop 20% more minerals (at level 1) and also drop red sugar (at level 2).
Veteran depositor: double the radius for non-Molly deposit ports (refineries, salvaged drop pods, mineheads).
Friendly: possibly add an extra level with extra effect - friendly fire only stops/delays shield recharge if you deal more than 15 damage (after all reductions) to your teammate, this threshold is reset whenever teammate's shield breaks or reaches 100%. Same applies to your shield and friendly fire you take. This extra effect doesn't stack with itself if other people also have Friendly.
.
Second wind: in addition to normal activation, activate it whenever you take melee damage while running.
Unstoppable: resists all slows including slows from all effects caused by enemies and by your own weapons.
Alternatively, maybe just merge two preceeding ones together without further changes? 
See you in hell: in addition to the current passive component, whenever a melee strike enhanced by this perk's passive effect kills a medium or larger enemy (see Vampire-triggering enemies), get 50% melee damage resistance for 1,5 seconds.
Hover boots: while hovering, press jump button to replace this perk's effect with crate jetboots effect for the remainder of its duration. If you do so, double this perk's following cooldown.
Elemental insulation: additionally resists rockpox infestation status.

Not really a specific suggestion, but does anyone else feel like gunner needs a bit of a rework?
I think the issue with gunner is that you cant specialize him nearly as much as you can other classes. 90% of his choices, especially for ocs, are either single target damage or area damage, with minor things sprinkled in like electro minelets.
The only ocs that really feel unique for gunner are bullet hell, NT payload, and volatile bullets. This gives gunner a bit of an issue where it feels like regardless of mission or loadout you kinda feel like you're just doing the same thing 99% of the time. I mean even rocket barrage, an undeniably fun oc, is just "turn up the fire rate to 11".
This isnt to say gunner isnt fun, but i do think gunner would be even more fun with some more unique options in his kit like the other classes have.

the suggestion of adding possible spawns of event/objective enemies (such as ebonite glyphids or random korlok weed plants) has already been done, but i'm gonna go a step further: apart from adding a possibility for something like the ebonite glyphid to spawn, add a possible fester flea spawn in any mission, because the entry in the bestiary says that any DRG employee is obligated to kill these pests, so it would be pretty cool to find a flea randomly. killing it would grant like idk 100 xp or something

🧨Sticky Grenade Buffs🧨
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Sticky_Grenade
Currently sticky grenades are the worst gunner grenade by far, lacking a niche to set them apart, and having low stats. A hazard 5 grunt has 108 HP; Currently Sticky Grenades deal 130 damage in a 4m Area, with a 1.5m Max damage radius, and 20% minimum damage. This means after 2m their damage falls below 108. This leaves you with a tiny 2m grunt kill range.
Increasing the grunt kill range to ~4m would make them much more effective, and bring Stickies crowd clearing capabilities closer to the other gunner grenades. Something like: 3.5m Max damage radius, 6m Damage radius, 50% minimum damage would give it a grunt kill range of 4.1 m.
TL;DR Double the grunt kill range of Sticky Grenades, as the current 2m is too small.

Round 2 of "Buff that OC"
Custom Casings (a Zhukov OC) should also give x0.6 spread.
Here are the base stats:
+30 Combined Mag Size (Base is 50, or 60 with T2 A)
-4 Combined Rate of Fire (Base is 30, or 38 with T2 B).
To me this is "bad minimal magazines" & here's why.
The main upside to a larger mag size is a longer sustained fire.
However, the RoF penalty reduces your DPS by ~13% at base, or 10% with T2 B.
Minimal Magazines gives you +2 RoF & -0.4s reload. To me, this is a better choice for sustained fire, as reloading only takes 1.4s (a ~22% reduction over the base 1.8s).
Now, why does giving it a x0.6 base spread bonus help?
Because it makes it unique, & actually makes T3 a choice.
You can take T3 A (+1 damage) to offset the DPS decrease.
Alternatively you can make a hyper accurate build with T3 B (resulting in 24% base spread).
With all other OC builds, I always take T3 B.
Edit: As someone noted, Custom Casing does give you +30 combined ammo, but honestly that's barely noticable with Zhukovs ammo pool.

New Scout primary:
B0-NK Riot Shotgun
”With a rather unfortunate name, this lightweight weapon was designed to disperse crowds non-lethally, but we’ve… overclocked it a bit.”
The Riot Shotgun, as the name suggests, fires rubber slugs that deal less damage than other weapons, but have a slurry of effects which can be applied to it. The main feature of the shotgun is it’s high stun, which can be utilised by other team members to dish out extremely high damage to tanky enemies.
While lacking in damage, this weapon goes against the scout formula by being exceptionally crowd controlling. Not good at all at crowd clearing, but a few shots and a smart wielder can stun an entire crowd long enough for someone else to mow them down. The damage loss can be made up for through upgrades and overclocks, but many of these will get rid of the stun, effectively making it a normal slug shotgun.
What makes this gun shine is the T3 mods, which allow the slugs to be filled with all sorts of various chemicals to wreak havoc on bugs. Electric, pheromone or even nitroglycerin will decrease the stun from the normal amount but will highly increase the swarm clear of the weapon as well as the overall damage, which is especially useful for the scout, and might make this weapon more viable in singleplayer.
Overall, the riot shotgun provides a unique new niche role that can be exceptionally powerful when put to good use, and a powerful addition with Scout’s arsenal.

idk for who, probably driller or something. Bigass capacitor that can be "cooked" (Charged up in hand somehow), depending on how much you cooked it, when it comes in contact with ground it can:
• emit powerful discharge, stunning and electrocuting bugs nearby, dealing low damage, but slowing them down
•electrecute and vaporize nearby bugs
• or just outright explode dealing massive energy damage
The longer you cook it, the smaller AoE becomes, but potential damage increases

Suggestion: Other people seem to have listed it, but I'm not seeing a response- would it be possible to have a blacklist system in DRG?
Something as simple as "Man, I had a bad time playing on that user's server, I'd like to not see any games they host so I don't accidentally walk into the same bad situation". If it can also prevent them from seeing my games when I host a server, that'd be nice too, but even just not seeing someone who I had a negative experience playing with again would be helpful towards enjoying how much good community this game has.
Edit: Heck, even just a mark next to it that says "You have Blacklisted this server" might be enough.

Very basic clean BRT7 OC concept.
💢Burst Frenzy💢
R&D added some expensive experimental tech to your bullets, now you have Improved Accuracy and Faster Movement for a short time after all shots in a burst hit.
Burst Frenzy
The effect is almost identical to Battle Frenzy/Battle Cool from the T5A mod "Battle Frenzy" on the Gk2, just with the trigger and duration changed. The effect has the following stats:
Burst Frenzy
Duration: 1 Second
Refreshable: Yes
Effect: +50% Movement Speed, additionally for the duration the BRT7 cannot accumulate bloom. Bloom from previous shots will continue to decay until the BRT7 returns to its base accuracy.
Not much to say about the concept, the BRT7 just seems like a good fit for this kind of effect, I went with a clean cause I don't see the effect being too strong in practice. Though I could see it being a balanced OC with a few additional effects.

Grenade Plants
(name probably not final)
Hoxxes flora that grow volatile fruits. The dwarves can pick the fruit and throw it like a grenade! Hence the somewhat unimaginative name.
They would function basically like the egg baskets, snow piles, or (most fittingly) fireworks on the Space Rig during events, except the Grenade Plants have a limited supply of fruits. Probably no more than 4 or 5 per plant.
There would be different varieties. Some that just explode, some that do elemental damage, and some that cause different status effects (stun, fear, slow, etc.)
They can grow any fruit in any biome and more than one plant can grow per mission. If the plant takes damage, all the fruit on it will detonate at once.
As far as damage goes, I'm undecided. I kind of feel they should be weaker than the dwarves' standard grenades since they're just lying around free to use. But then again they're a special find and limited in use. They'd basically help out with one swarm and be done, so why not let them be powerful?

I have some changes to propose for the Subata OC "Explosive Reload".
Here are the current stats:
When dealing damage to a healthbar, leave behind a detonator that deals 42 internal damage when you reload.
x0.5 Mag Size (so 6 base or 8 with T1 B)
x0.5 Max Ammo (so 120 with both T2 A & T4 C)
Here's my problem, unless over 50% of your shots make use of T5 B (+1 Blowthrough), this is just a noticeably worse version of embedded detonators (an OC for Scouts Zhukovs).
This to me is a problem, since Drillers secondary weapons are meant to be more "Single Target" focused, & on the surface this seems to take Subata further down that route. However, to get full value you need to use it on multiple targets, which is unintuitive.
Here is my proposed fix:
Leave the detonators as is.
Reduce the magazine penalty from 0.5x to 0.75x (so 9 base or 12 with T1 B).
Reduce the ammo penalty from 0.5x to 0.625x (so 150 with T2 A & T4 C).
Introduce a new penalty: x0 blowthrough.
This stops T5 B from throwing the balance out entirely, & brings it closer to parity with Embedded Detonators. Here's the numbers for both Explosive Reload & Embedded Detonators (for ease, assuming no weak points or fire/electricity).
Explosive Reload (Changed, assuming 2, 1, X, 3, X):
Damage per Shot: 54 (12 direct, 42 internal)
Damage per Mag: 648
Damage Total: 8,748
Embedded Detonators (Assuming 1, 1, 2, 3, X):
Damage per Shot: 44 (6 direct, 38 internal)
Damage per Mag: 880
Damage Total: 10,780
It should be noted that T4 A on the Zhukovs also provides blowthrough. However, it competes with one of the 2 ammo mods, reducing your combined ammo from 490 to 390 (a ~20% reduction in ammo). This is still strong, but has a downside & fits Zhukovs more thematically.
I also did the maths for 0.75x ammo penalty, which brough the total damage up to 10,368. That's very close to the Zhukovs, however would put it so far ahead of base Subata that Explosive Reload would become the must have.

Make explosive goodbye on T5 breach cutter a weaker version of the EPC projectile in exchange for damage nerf? I don't think its too OP because it only triggers after a certain distance and is not on command like the EPC. It also kind of makes sense when you consider that the breach cutter is just a repurposed mining tool, and gives some viability to a previously overshadowed upgrade (in comparison to Triple-split line or plasma trail, which are both much more flexible in their general use, e.g. slight DoT increase or easier crowd control VS a very occasionally executed damage boost, since the base breach cutter should be 1-hitting grunts anyway.) In hindsight, there are probably much better ways of improving the mod, although I still think there should be some sort of mining OC for breach cutter that heavily nerfs projectile lifetime and mag size as a trade off.

Can change the behavior of Carnivorous Larvae at Parasites Mutation Warning? Because they are not dangerous enough compared to other warning, something like when they attack any Dwarf, they latch on and cause 5% slower move speed and -1hp in 5 second for 30 sec, the Parasites also stack for 5x. The only way to remove them is by calling Bosco or by getting other Dwarf to pickaxe at it.

Part 3 of "Buff that OC" (this time a 2 for one).
The clean Chain Hit OCs (for Subata & Bulldog) should be changed so that the bullet that ricochet deal damage more consistently.
My suggestions would be:
Subata Chain Hit
Add 310% armor break bonus to shots that ricochet.
This is slightly worse than the 350% armor break the second shot gets from T3 B. If you build Subata so that it deals 15 or more damage, its also guaranteed to break any light armor in 1 hit. Praetorians heavy armor will still eat the shot unfortunately (as it would require a total of ~470% armor break to break hazard 3 Praetorians armor in 1 hit, & 800% armor break for haz 4/5 Praets).
Bulldog Chain Hit
Add 100% armor break bonus to shots that ricochet.
Since bulldogs base damage is much higher than Subata's (60 vs 12), it needs a lot less of a bonus. 200% armor break (100% base + 100% bonus) guarantees the breaking of all light armor & the breaking of Praetorians heavy armor in 1 shot, even at Haz 4/5.
This doesn't get around the issue of Unbreakable armor eating the shot, but should make it much more consistent.

Mineral Mods
A single-use, expensive booster selected for a mission! Each mineral mod costs ~250 of each, and must be unlocked through an assignment.
Along with mineral mods comes a new workbench inbuilt into the hallway to the lift that goes to the memorial hall called the Mineral Fabricator. It is used to craft mineral mods, and has a unique animation. However, unlike the forge, you can bulk-craft mods in case you have a hefty supply of minerals built up. These are single use and you can only equip one at a time, so they will go fairly quickly.
These mods do have a downside, the user will be faced with a small nerf. This ranges from less ammo to more damage taken, but will usually be cancelled out by the buff. (BTW, the buff would be applied to the entire team.)
Bismor-forged Canisters: 15% extra nitra mined, but 15% less max ammo for the user
Jadiz Core Batteries: +150% starting battery capacity but +30% overheat speed for user
Enor Pearl Shells: Every member starts with 125% ammo on every gun, however the user has a 30% less loot pickup range
Magnite-Toed Boots: +20% fire damage, but the user gets frozen more easily
Umanite Plating: +20% damage resistance to projectiles but user takes 15% more melee damage from enemies
Croppa Casings: Every shot has a small chance to fear near its impact, but the user’s shots have a chance to deal 10% less damage
Overall, these boosters provide a more consistent pool of buffs for your team, while additionally providing a use for those minerals which seem to constantly pile up. These boosters also add some new content and life to the game.

New Hazard Warning: Corrosive Atmosphere
Something in the air down there reacts very poorly with industrial steel, causing heavy damage to any machinery that comes in contact with it. Luckily (or unluckily), biological creatures seem to be immune. Regardless, management recommends locker room protocol in this cave.
This warning causes all sorts of disruptive effects to happen to all of your trusty machines, stalling missions if proper maintenance is not performed.
Molly: Molly has a "healthbar" that is shown as a simple white progress par when looking at her. Her health slowly drains over time, and causes her to move very slowly and become unable to deposit in when empty. Holding E on her with an empty inventory (or any inventory when broken) will refill the bar, just like building a pipeline.
Minehead: The minehead shares the "health" system as molly, and it cannot be deposited in if its health is allowed to fully drain.
Refinery: The refinery is identical to the minehead. Additionally, more pipes will break during every breaking event.
Doretta: Doretta slowly takes damage over time.
Uplink and Fuel Cells: These share the healthbar system, and will begin losing progress if allowed to drain.
Hacksy: Hacksy is able to endure less bug attacks before shutting down.
Rockcracker pods: The natural damage the pods take over time is increased.

been playing deep rock for a while so: a raid boss mission that you have to work towards as a end game objective. you would have to complete a bunch of objectives to unlock the raid boss eg. a few mission lists, obtaining a cube, finishing deep dives.
The raid boss would take up multiple missions like a deep dive, eg the first level you need to destroy the top of a massive drill rig, then the next level you have to work on a bunch of hacking missions and the final map is a boss like mission like industrial, or finding what the drill was drilling into and it being a giant dread egg that would start the boss

Im hoping for a future gamemode where it’s just a horde defense mission where it’s you and 3 others with your backs against a wall defending some objective. There would be upgrades you could buy for the objective you’re defending which would increase its health and defense. You would be able to set up traps, turrets and more and also be able to upgrade them. The bugs would only come from one direction/lane so it feels like you’re truly holding the line.

Support disposables for all classes, for example:
- For the gunner, a "sugar-nade": turns a small portion of terrain and enemies within the blast radius into red sugar, like a crassus but on a very small scale.
- For the engi, bags of ammunition that can be thrown, and that reload when someone steps on them, something like 20% of the ammunition of the equipped weapon.
- For the driller, a "goo-nade" something that stuns/scares enemies for a long period of time.
- For the scout, a grenade that slightly increases all allied stats: speed, jump height, resistance, reload speed, etc.

Rework for engineer’s Plasma Burster:
You know how engi’s plasma burster fucking sucks compared to his other ones? Engi nades have always been pretty mid, especially ones like the lure and the plasma burster, and I feel like I only see engis using the SSG.
My idea for a new plasma burster would be instead of one grenade, engi would throw an entire fistful of micro plasma bursters. These would look like smaller versions of the original plasma burster, however each burster would detonate upon contact with the ground. This allows a wide spread of damage, which can be used to thin out swarms and deal heavy close range damage. If angled correctly, it could deal a huge amount of damage to a massive area. However, these would be difficult to aim due to the spread.

"Lead Storm" Powered Minigun Overclock: Lazy Dogs
'Reducing the propellant and increasing the weight of each round massively reduces velocity but massively increases potential damage!'
- individual bullet damage is increased for every second spent falling through the air (x3/s)
[keep in mind most bullets would still move too quickly to last one second before hitting their target] - small increase in ammunition (+300 (+600) Max Ammo)
- all bullets become projectiles with massive drop (bullets travel about 3-6 meters before hitting the ground when aiming straight forwards on a level plain)
- moderate damage reduction (-2 damage)
this is probably unbalanced atm, but the idea is there
if making each bullet a projectile would cause lag, damage increase could instead by calculated by distance from the peak of the arc to the landing
make Stingtails consistently stunnable by shooting their tail just before they attack (during or after the clown honk, before the grab connects).
This would make surviving a Stingtail feasible in situations where simply dodging the attack would be impossible or would cause death in doing so

make septic spreaders more of a dedicated area denial enemy rather than JustAnotherRangedBug™
instead of shooting directly at dwarves, they should shoot once close to the dwarf and then multiple times in that same area to cover more ground regardless of how much the dwarf has moved since then
they should also shoot at the entrances to smaller caves, blocking off escape routes and therefore supporting their melee-friends
the berserker perk should act as a power-attack bank rather than forcing you to swing 8 times in rapid succession when that amount of raw power is often not needed (praetorians and oppressors) or not feasible with the means provided when it is needed (dreadnaughts and detonators). but it also shouldn't be ready at all times
make it so that the berserker perk is ready at 100% charge and drops by 12.5% charge for every power attack given by it, if you power attack again within 2-3 seconds of using the last power attack it gave you then you may power attack again to drop it by another 12.5% charge, if you let that timer run out or the charge drops to 0% it starts charging again and you have to wait until 100% to use it again
even with these changes, the berserker effect given by the ebonite event should remain the same

I think it would be nice to have a "Last Mission Summary". Sometimes the end screen goes by really fast and you can't see all the xp, gold, kills etc. you got. I'd like a button on either the mission selection table, or the stat tracking terminal that would just display the same information that's displayed on end screens. Something nice to be able to take screenshots of and share if you think you had a really good mission. From what I know there's a mod that already does this or something like this when I was reading steam forums, but I haven't looked into modding much yet and it would be a cool base game feature to have.

Currently power attacks damage is separate from normal pickaxe damage. This means anything that increase pickaxe damage does nothing for power attacks. I think that this shouldn't be the case. All effects that boost pickaxe damage should also boost power attack damage. This change would allow things like See you in hell to synergize with Bezerker, and would also make Skull Crusher Ale a lot more useful.
TL;DR Make pickaxe damage boosts also apply to Power attacks.

Revert being unable to late join deep dives through Steam. It's literally just downgrading the game. I understand being unable to late join deep dives through the mission browser because random players would just always join your deep dive at the very end of a mission, making it nearly impssible to start with a full lobby, but that doesn't matter for steam joins anywhere near as much. All this does is intentionally remove QOL for no benefit.

Just another on-site refining mission. Facing a swarm, accidentally hit a lootbug with my M1000. I wanted to kill it, but since I had enough nitra, I spared it. I started feeling bad for hitting it. I stared at it and pet it. Then I got an idea
Suggestion: Since lootbugs consume minerals and then excrete x1.5 more, why not add an option to feed them if you have at least 1 nitra/gold in your inventory? That feeding would also allow them to regenerate life.
If not, the feeding option could remain... Or just that they slowly regenerate life over time...
Also, to remove exploitation, they would not drop any minerals when hurt, only when killed.

Mission contract: The Behemoth Mineral
In this mission we are not going to extract a simple mineral, No, we are going to put some rockets on it and send it to the deep space as big delivery.
The challenge is hard since we are going to attach 3 giants rockets. The rocket size is litterally big like the extraction pod. And the behemoth mineral is 3 times the geode.
Our goal is simple: attach the Rockets to the behemoth mineral by digging into 3 levels for the main cave. Plus we must add lots of fuel if we want to deliver the Behemoth Mineral, so expect hordes of glyphids untill we fully charged each rocket.

Data Transmission (name is being worked on):
Upon release of a full lock, for every shot fired, your turret(s) will also fire a shot, completely matching your LOK-1's burst fire, with the turret's damage per shot, factoring in upgrades and such
Every short fired by the turret(s) will aim from the turret to the target where the lock is on, this goes for each lock. So spreading locks will have the turret(s) shoot each of the locked enemies X amount of times per lock they have on themselves, or you can just full lock a praetorian or something
0.67x max lock amount
-12 mag size
Upon release of a full lock, turrets overheat and disable for 3 seconds
Decided to have a crack at designing an overclock on the LOK-1 that synergises with turrets as many have asked for, since Warthog has turret whip, and Stubby has EM Discharge/Turret arc.
Not fully decided on the name, if anyone can come up with a better one similar to this then please do, had other ideas like "Packet transfer system" or such

Suggestion:
The ability to "rotate" paintjobs on equipment, with a toggle.
For example, if a weapon has a two-tone paintjob in red/blue, swap the colour placements so it's now blue/red.
And if it's three-tone, have the colours cycle clockwise. So instead of red/blue/yellow, it's now blue/yellow/red. And cycled again for yellow/red/blue.
This would add even more customization to the existing content without technically adding any new paintjobs.

AMD TrueAudio(Next) and SteamAudio support.
Hello, first thing I will say, I have noticed that DRG doesn't seem to have any form of simulated envrionmental audio/ambisonics. Adding support for TrueAudio(Next)/SteamAudio would be super cool, as it simulates ambisonics for things like dynamic reverb and stuff, which would be super cool in DRG seeing as you're exploring caves quite a lot. TrueAudio/SteamAudio can also react to changes in the environment in realtime. 🙂 (oh also please fix the lag spikes on AMD that are currently happening.)
Imagine how fun it would be to hear your gunshots echo through the caves.
Simulated reverb that changes as your environment changes, would be awesome.

Much like a cave canary, it can possibly alert you to nearby dangers... and unlike sentry turrets, Canary Drones can be capable of perishing (in which case a cooldown must be initiated before another can be repaired, restocked, and redeployed).

Here's how I think Neurotoxin Payload should be fixed. The current stats are:
Each enemy in the AoE has a 50% chance to get inflicted by a Neurotoxin DoT that deals 12 average damage per second for 12 seconds, & applies a 30% slow.
+0.3m AoE radius (base is 1.4m, or 2m with T4 B).
-110 ammo
-6 area damage (Base is 9, or 11 with T3 B).
My suggested changes:
Retain the 2 positives
Change the area damage penalty from -6 to -3
Change the -110 ammo penalty to a x0.5 magazine size penalty.
Add a new penalty: x0% fear chance.
The biggest issue with Neurotoxin is how it interacts with T5 B, the fear mod. Fear + slows are VERY powerful in DRG, especially when combined with a powerful DoT. When used well, Neurotoxin means the entire swarm can't even reach the Dwarves.
The removal of the fear chance means it becomes more useful at slowing the swarm as they approach, instead of them never reaching anyone. I could also see creating a unique Neurotoxin effect for this OC, with maybe a 50% slow as compensation for the complete inability to fear bugs.
I'm aware that this may lead to people then switching to Coil with T3 B, but that at least requires changing weapons (& that particular mod is overtuned as well imo).

Glyphid man
This is very dumb and would not work at all but glyphid that uses mimicry to disguise itself as a dwarf and attacks separated dwarves when there isn’t a swarm or anything else going on.
(Yes, exactly like nemesis, I’m being soo original here)
(Yes, you can just use the radar and easily spot the fake)
Anatomy
It’s basically a ridiculously deformed pretorean, shape wise. The front body and back set of legs are notably bulkier and the middle 4 have shrunk significantly.
The ‘feet’ on a glyphid man’s front legs have been ‘flipped’ and grown fist like clubs on its joints which it uses both to move around (like a gorilla would) and to pummel any dwarf it (somehow, despite all odds) manages to fool.
The abdomen has been turned upright and melded to the back body to resemble a backpack-thingamajig.
It’s head has been stretched up and is now adorned in beard-like scales.
Behaviour
While not aggro’d, it passively moves around similarly to a dwarf.
(It should probably use a dwarf model when not aggro’d to make the whole disguise/mimicry an actual working gimmick in-game)
Once you get up too close or ping it (which is based on the fact that spiders feel and react slightly to the infrared light used by cameras when focusing), it will drop its disguise and charge at the dwarf on all(technically half) fours, and bash them with its front legs dealing heavy damage and knockback. The glyphid man repeats this behaviour until the dwarf it is attacking has been downed, glyphid man dies, or deaggros.
A glyphid man will deaggro if it sees more dwarves are nearby, at which point the glyphid man will turn tail and run away (also exposing its vulnerable back yay)
Additionally, due to its unconventional form of movement, the glyphid man struggles to make it up any vertical terrain as it has to climb by punching its ‘fists’ into the wall leaving a trail of small holes.
I doodled this months ago and now I figure not posting it would be a waste so ah what the hell.

Event Idea
Rogue Bosco Recovery
"Heads up dwarves, it seems that some unlucky soul lost his Bosco and it's been infected by some rogue Prospector Data, deal with it fast."
Bosco joins as part of the team
When repaired, he joins with 1 revive and a random selection of different upgrades for his weapon systems from the upgrade trees
It seems that some prospector data is left over, every once in awhile Bosco's targeting systems are overridden and he may attack the dwarves
Along with this, the Prospectors deemed his ability to mine terrain and minerals too advantageous, his code no longer permits dwarves to ping where to mine
I figured this might be worth throwing out there as an idea for an event. It would function similarly to BET-C where you can fight Bosco to regain control from the Prospectors. I figured taking away his mining abilities along with the addition of occasional friendly fire would balance him out. Bosco can still have functionality this way but not be as effective as a full teammate as he is in solo mode.

Crazy idea cz it was 2am when it came to me, ""Illegal Mods Dealer" found in the space rig hidden somewhere the management doesn't find him.
Sells a random tech upgrade for a mission, like daily beers but for weapons or stuff, like
-Lower flare recharge time
-slightly more shield
-pickaxe mines a larger area
Or even some things for specific classes, like
-grappling gun can pull heavy objects slowly
-drills can mine minerals
-turrets stun
- gunner's shield hurts enemies hitting it
This upgrades obviously would be expensive if they're that good. I think it would be a crazy way to make the game more interesting, and different within the missions. Also I think this illegal mods should be bought in packs of 4 like beers, but everything is randomized, cz obviously a scout can't get a platform upgrade. So it's like a "yes or no" trade instead of a "Wich one?" Trade
Also, if they're illegal it could be some mods that had some downward effects, something like
"Drills dig faster" but in the mission you discover that when overheated it hurts you, but the dealer doesn't tell you that, because "you buy at your own risk"

Not a fully fleshed out idea, but just a rough one that might made mini shells more considerable, imagine these changes:
Removal of the pellet's 2 damage nerf
Removal of the stun penalty
Add a -3 pellet penalty, accurately fitting the overclock name and penalizing stun but still allowing it to exist
This same pellet penalty would also very slightly reduce the overall damage but in a good exchange for having stun again, here's a reference:
Current mini shells loadout with max damage and pellets:
Damage per shot: 60
Stun: None
Same loadout with these changes:
Damage per shot: 56
Stun: Maximum of 52.17% chance if all pellets hit a weakpoint (10 pellets is 65.13% chance for reference)
Lemme know what you think or if you have concerns

Rework for Feedback Loop so it doesnt feel like shit in terms of ammo economy: -100 ammo penalty gets changed into -direct dmg/penalty to weakpoint dmg.
This way the OC leans more into its intended purpose of clearing swarms, rather than being single target dps, and players dont feel like they wasted 1/3 of their ammo on a single swarm.
I know there are people who use this thing against preatorians and even oppressors, but I never understood how is that efficient in any way, outside maybe using the last bit of mag on tanks right after clearing trash mobs. So I dont feel like this new penalty would really hurt the OCs versatility and ability to deal with bigger mobs, as it didnt really had that in the first place.
My other proposal is to just buff the speed the OCs gains dmg and AoE stacks, but idk if that would be OP or not (I dont think it would)

If we get bigger Slashers like Praetorian is a bigger Grunt, and Oppressor is a bigger guard. How bout the bigger Slasher be called “Glyphid Carver”, and a potential Dreadnought version be called “Glyphid Executioner”? Or “Glyphid Bladeguard” if Executioner fits a fully grown version better.

A few suggestions related to players interaction, communication, and the laser pointer.
The main idea is to add the ability to use a laser pointer not just to describe the material or the enemy, but to send a command to the designated player, and also point the MULE where to move - just like in a single-player we indicate this to the Bosco.
How I imagine it: by holding Ctrl, the laser pointer is activated, and to the left of it we see a list of players present in the current run. Old indication system (using just LMB) stays as it is, but now you can also use keys from 1 to 5 (1-4 players and “5” for the MULE), and accordingly, a phrase is pronounced, such as “hey, scout, give some light in that place”, “hey, engineer, your attention is needed here”, “hey, driller”, “move over there, Molly”, and so on.
Also, for a player who has received a personal appeal in that way, there should be a special indicator that attracts attention, possibly animated and with a small mark from whom it was received. And if this function is used too often in a single area for the purpose of trolling, probably, a button or a function called “rude answer”, or something like that, may be provided. It's not available by default, but becomes available just in such a case - often monotonous spam-ish personal appeals through a laser pointer. When activated, the player says something like “I'm sick of your pointing at the same thing, I’ll do it now, just stop hurting my ears!” and for some time this party member will no longer be able to make personal appeals to the player.

Leadstorm OC idea
Type: balanced/unstable
weapons spread is always at its fully spinned state
great dmg bonus against weakpoints
dmg decreased
slower spinup time and/or decrease in ammo
I saw similiar suggestion before, and I wanted to post my take on it. Basically an attemt at changing leadstrom in laser gun.
You get and instant max available accuracy (may be enchanced with T1 accuracy, so its not useless) and great increase in weakpoint dmg, making it pretty obvious that weapons gimmick is to always go for weakpoints.
The downsides also commit into this gimmick, as decreasing base dmg makes non-weakpoint shots less effective (the weakpoint bonus will greatly offset this penalty if weakpoints are hit), and less ammo is supposed to encourage going for weakpoints even more
The slower spinup Im not sure if needs to be here, I added it in case if instant max accuracy would be too big of an upgrade, so at least the dps and ammo u gain from instantly accurate gun will be at least sligthly offset by the time u have to spin it up first
Im worried it may be too similiar to LSLS (big dmg OC), but I believe its niche will be different enough to create its own Leadstorm experience

Their legacy lives on in this forever-foaming malt that promises those who drink it will deposit ore from thin air, which confounds Management to this very day.
(Credit goes to OmegianLord on Reddit for his original idea to occasionally deposit extra gold with minerals)
waxen dew
I think a nice touch to Huuli Hoarders would be the addition of different minerals on its back depending on the biome, even if it were a texture change. The green and red chunks on its back could turn into white and yellow on Salt Pits, for example.
What if we had a victory move that was a dwarf carrying a bunch of gold and nitra in their arms. However, they cannot hold it all, so pieces fall to the floor and the dwarf looks forlorn at them before throwing all of the minerals on the ground.

The LOK-1 SMЯT Targeting Mod (T3 B) should either:
- Be made togglable when selected as an upgrade
- Added to the base gun & made togglable
I personally think 2. is the better option, but I can see arguments for both.
Now, you may ask yourself, why do I think this is necessary?
Two reasons.
-
It competes with 2 very powerful upgrades: +20% damage vs on fire or electrocuted targets (good single target damage upgrade) or +3 Blowthrough (good swarm clear upgrade).
-
It's counterproductive for most OCs & 2 other upgrades.
For mods:
T5 A (targets with 3 locks get electrocuted) can be prevented by use of SMЯT, but it's unlikely.
T5 B (+20% damage at full lock) can easily be prevented by use of SMЯT when targeting a single target.
Armor Break Module (+1100% armor break at full lock), Explosive Chemical Rounds (the last bullet that hits a target with 3+ locks explodes), Executioner (+50% weak point damage at full lock) & Neuro-Lasso (x0.9 move speed for each lock on a target) can all be prevented from function by using SMЯT.
Making it togglable (as an example, by holding Q for 1 sec) means that in those circumstances where it is useful, you can use it without having to worry about it screwing you over.
I also think it's niche enough to not warrant an upgrade, & fits the aesthetic of the base gun.
finite tundra
Alright. Wild idea, but hear me out. What if you could enable a setting that would allow a "player 5" to join, which replaces mission control? They get a third-person view of any dwarf they want, get alerts when swarms are coming, approximately how many are in each swarm, and additional information such as how much gold can still be found in the cave. If they can't communicate this information via text or voice chat, they could press a key/controller button assigned to each major bit of info that'll ping all the players with a little text blurb.

🍄 Bugshroom Harvesting 🍄
"Miners, before you is a bugshroom harvester. These mushrooms can only be grown in the depths of hoxxes, and we need your help to collect and extract them. Theres one catch, they only grow on the backs of glyphids. Be careful, as they are highly adaptable and will require extreme precision and offensive power."
Bugshrooms, as the name implies, only grow on the backs of glyphids. These parasitic mushrooms are highly valued for both their highly insulative properties and their amazing taste. To collect these bugshrooms, the dwarves must kill special glyphids.
The Glyphids
The mushrooms have warped the bugs, providing various advantages towards the hosts. Effects like thick, turtle-like shells of shroom and spore cannons can be found on the hosts. Hazards like this are what makes bugshroom so valuable and difficult to harvest.
Each bugshroom-infected glyphid has unique properties. As the mushroom needs soft, squishy parts to be exposed to the air, it is only found on grunts. Each grunt has three separate parts (head, thorax, abdomen). Each part can grow a unique type of mushroom. however most mushrooms will take up two slots. Each mushroom has a different colour, indicating it's weaknesses and strengths. Blue armour bugshroom is highly resistant against cryo damage, while red spore cannon bugshroom wil deal burn damage. This creates a unique enemy to fight against as well. You might end up with a bugshroom glyphid carrying heavy armour on its head and thorax, but a spore cannon on its abdomen. There would be many different effects and many different bugshroom parts.
Harvesting the Bugshroom
Harvesting the bugshroom is as simple as killing the bug, extracting the bugshroom samples, and dumping it into the rocket. To harvest the samples, the team is required to precisely excavate the fungus from the host's body by jamming a pickaxe into it enough times. This will give the dwarf a sample of ~20 bugshroom, which they can deposit into the rocket. The event is over when around 600 bugshroom is aquired, which is around 30 bugs killed and harvested. The rocket will launch automatically, completing the objective.

New Spacerig Minigame: Whack-a-Bug
Costs three Credits to play. Game is set up with eight plush figures across the arcade machine, each of them having a dwarf on one side and a bug on the other. Up top is a performance bar that shows how many hits and misses you get, with a final grade bar underneath. Plays just like whack-a-mole. Hit bugs to gain points, hit dwarves to lose points, each figure swaps sides every now and then to keep you on your toes. The game has a 60 second timer, and once that timer ends, you are left with one of many final grades:
Less than 10 hits: Mission Control
More than 10 misses: Bug Bait
10-20 hits: HACK-C
10-20 misses: Mactera Grabbed
21-30 hits: Molly
21-30 misses: Son of a Mud Golem
31-40 hits: Doretta
31-40 misses: Beardless Blunderbuss
41-50 hits: BOSCO

holy fuck, for the love of god, fix the ways that machine events interact with Doretta. I've already been on this channel talking about minibosses like BET-C and Tyrant Weed, and i got plenty of votes for that. At least fighting random Dreadnaught spawn and defending Doretta are both basically the same thing.
If i am playing solo, and i want to complete a machine event during an escort mission, i... am just... fucked.
Especially at higher difficulties, the bugs that spawn near the Ebonite/Cursite/Tritolite events just leave to attack Doretta.
Do i stay near the Ebonite event where i can pick up Charged Pickaxe Batteries?
Do i stay near the Cursite event where i can deposit the Cursite?
Do i stay near the Nanite Bomb dispenser and the Tritalite deposite?
Or do i go to defend Doretta, losing the Machine Event, but still having to deal with the waves and waves of glyphid spawns, worst of both worlds?!?
To sum up my suggestion: Just like the Glyphid Dreadnaught spawns uniquely red Swarmers that are tied to the boss fight, convert ALL of the glyphid waves during machine events into some special behavior that ignores Doretta. Especially during solo missions

Add voice lines for the dwarves when using the zipline that specifically reference the fact that bugs can't reach them while they're on it.

Waste Limitation/Retrival of used equipment
There are objects you hold to use to complete an objective(like miniMULE legs, Litofoamer/Litovac).
When the corresponding objectives are completed it feels like a waste of resources to leave them like a garbage on Hoxxes.
I think it would be neat if after the objective, those objects could be deposited into Molly so it works as a small reward on mission completion(like a few credits or exp). Of course Doretta should be carried to the pod still(Idc if this one does not give any reward, but smaller once I'd like to bring with me).
Tbh, I already try to bring those things with me and throw them into the pod before I leave, but those are not that important and unique as Dotty.
It is also logical for DRG to make an incentive for that so they can cut costs on materials.
Oh! And also:
In Deep Dives if we have carried Dotty to the mid-droppod, it would be neat if her head was still in that droppod and carried back up(next drop pods would not have her head). And also she should be at the Deep Dive Completion screen regardless if escort was the last stage or not.

NEW WARNING IDEA
ROGUE EMPLOYEES: Rogue employees who protested against DRG are detected within these mines.
The employees act similar-ish to players and will gather resources while nearby. They will attack on sight and there can be anywhere from 1 to 4 dwarves in a Rogue Team. In a team, there will never be 2 of the same class, so against a team of 4, you are guaranteed to find a Scout, Gunner, Driller and Engineer. They won't have access to equipment that would make them frustrating to fight.
Rogue Gunner: carries a minigun and can occasionally throw sticky grenades. Will power attack with pickaxe if within point blank range. Has the highest HP of all Rogue Employees.
Rogue Scout: acts somewhat similar to V2 from ULTRAKILL, so he will avoid the player if the player gets close, and approach the player if the player tries to keep distance. He has access to the assault rifle and uses the boomstick when attempting to approach the player. Can use grappling hook.
Rogue Engineer: uses the shotgun, will use the grenade launcher if the player keeps their distance, and can place a sentry which will either expire when 90 shots are fired, or when the player destroys it.
Rogue Driller: will actively chase the player, even drilling through terrain to reach them. Will use flamethrower if close enough, will use pistol otherwise. Will attempt to use satchel charge if the players are grouped closely together, or if a player is surrounded by enemies (excluding enemy dwarves).
Rogue BOSCO: acts like BOSCO without upgrades and only spawns when a single Dwarf spawns, will self-destruct if their designated Dwarf dies. Cannot revive the Rogue Dwarves.
None of the Rogue Dwarves have upgrades, perks or overclocks, they will drop their harvested resources when killed, and their MULE can be disabled by hacking it to collect a Compressed Gold nugget.

An enemy based off those deeptora swarms from the hives but instead of being an invulnerable environmental hazard that patrols one spot, they would be actual enemies. Of course, shooting at each individual one would be stupid, so just simply shooting at the swarm will deal damage to it, depending on its remaining health the cluster of tiny bugs would get smaller. Would be cool with swarm events to have absolutely massive swarms of these tiny bugs forming formations and stuff.

So this is a topic near and dear to my heart. Game icons.
I was looking at drg survivor on steam and the icon caught my attention. It was terrible. It was like a poster that had been shrunken down to thumbnail size.
Then I saw the game logo. Specifically, the O in the word survivor.
It was perfect for a game icon.
Could someone provide that O with the skull in the center as an icon? If not as the official game icon, as one I can apply to my desktop icon or dock?

Some type of timed extraction mission, I was thinking you go in and complete a short simple objective within a certain amount of time, then return to the drop pod, if you don’t extract in time the drop pod will leave and you have to survive as long as you can again progressively harder hordes (or maybe just survive until you can call in another pod). Or it could just be survival where you survive as long as you can and get more credits and stuff the longer you survive, but can also call in the drop pod whenever you want so you can gamble everything you’ve earned for more if you want.

Cryo Cannon OC Idea:
Reactive Cryo-Fluid (Unstable)
Sticky Ice Lifetime greatly increased
Enemies that come into contact with Sticky Ice cause damaging icicles to form
Decreased Freezing Power
-100 Tank Capacity
“The Cryo Cannon’s fluid has been swapped with a far more volatile mixture, making sticky ice highly reactive to bug heat. Any enemy that walks over these ice trails will be impaled by rapidly-forming icicles. However, this new fluid takes up more mass and is less effective at directly freezing enemies.”

Since having sentries during the Drillevator sequence will make it hard for engineers to use them efficiently, maybe add turrets into the Drillevator similar to the minehead (if the drillevator is not that crowded with other stuff) that can be built as long as there's an engineer in the mission, these sentries could be around the caliber of a maxed out sentry, engi and the others are able to build it but only Engi can refill the ammo in it. Balancing it with the fact that Engineers can still build other sentries, upon building a drillevator sentry it'll retrieve any other sentries the engineer sat beforehand.

Ok so idk if this has been suggested before, but I joined the discord just for this. So overclocks are my favorite part of the game, but what if we had overclocks for our mobility and utility items? Say goodbye to boring old grapple or turret, and hello to a vital and unique part of your build!
Some examples of this are:
Driller--🟡
-Nuclear satchel charge
-Mini satchels that can detonate multiple at a time
-breach satchel, that burrows through walls
-flame drills that convert stone to lava and do fire damage
-drill charge attack
Gunner--🟢
-Massive shield wall instead of dome
-reverse shield that sucks in and traps bugs
-veritical zips
-rocket powered super fast Zipline
Engi--🔴
-Bouncy platforms
-wall platforms
-flamethrower turret
-flying turret that can be moved
Scout--🔵
-Physics based grapple hook
-super high speed grapple
-
solar flare, capable of blinding and doing damage
-perma flare, way less ammoRock and stone brothers!

I would like to see overclock for utility too. Though my suggestion quite deferent
Driller 2 overclocks:
DEATH METAL- pres R to overdrive your drill to do double damage but consume 2.5 more fuel.( for melee lover)
HOT EXPOSITION - overheat your drill send out a wave of hot fuel deal burn dmg to every thing( your teammate too) on the 4m radious.( it a driller thing)
Gunner 2 overclocks
IRON WALL- 6 ammo - deploy a half dome that face 1 direction.( this way u can trade of half dome for 2 more use)
EMERGENCY TACTICAL - 2 ammo - deployed a flashing small beacon that anyone can press e for 1s to activate the protective dome.( now gunner can leave behind his dome for teammate in case thing go bad with the trade of ammo)
Engineer 2 overclocks:
Hawk100 - flying drone that have only 65% dmg flying 1m behind engi. ( trade dps for no need reload or deploy turret - if u take defender systems your turret will not shoot behind you, hawkeye will add +1damage)
IT A TANK: you can deploy a turret that constantly shooting instead of 3shoot burst. Double the deployment time( it call TANK. Because of it high fire rate engi need to nail the turret to the ground with more nail so it not blow it self away from recoil)
Scout 2 overclocks:
YEET!!: -5 to grab range - you can shoot at other dwarf to yeet them to you. ( now our scout can pull his friend away from danger or pull driller to the c4 right next him. :))
SNAIL STRING - x1.5 cooldown but you can press r while grabbing to slowly release the cape. Only start cooldown after you fully release by long press r again.( scout can hook himself on the ceiling and slowly descending instead of fall to his face. Developer can decide whether or not allow scout to also shooting while doing so.)
I thing this way dwarf have many more fun without lessen any one role. Driller be more close range combat or blow everything more. Gunner have more way to protect team even if he not right next to them. Engineer be more versatile with his turret and for scout imagine you see yourself surrounded by bug then from faraway scout shoot and grab you to high ground, with the -5m gunner zipline still the tool for long range travel.

This is my opinion but I would like Super Cooling Chamber to have the similar focus shot ammo cost as Marked for Death OC that was teased today. I personally don't like that the current SCC has ammo capacity reduction but normal shots do not have any benefits with the OC , if SCC also did buff non-charge shots, I wouldn't mind the ammo reduction staying the same.

OC for Breach Cutter
"Mini Lasers"
doubles ammo and mag size
increases fire rate so u can spam it more
decreases dmg and armor break
slightly decreased projectile size
Basically a meme OC for comboing with Mini Shells for double the mini experience!
Most likely I want it to be able to have perfect breakpoint for one shooting grunts so its not completely shit, but slashers etc need two shoots to die. If that will be too good, then let it also two shoot grunts, but ammo is tripled
On the bright side it would be a nice pick for spamming plasma trails!

Breach Cutter Unstable Overclock: Battery Overdrive Module
Reconfigured battery components enable the user to manually control the amount of charge directed to each cartridge before it is fired. Charging the cartridge for longer creates a wider, more potent beam, but with drastically shorter lifespan. The added component complexity greatly reduces magazine size and the base damage has been reduced to prevent the weapon from overloading at full charge.
+ Battery Overdrive Module (Charging shots increase width and damage but reduce lifespan)
Increased weapon damage at full charge
Reduced magazine capacity
Reduced weapon damage at base charge
This OC fits the theme of giving the engi control over the breach cutters projectile similar to roll control/return to sender.
A full charged shot would cause massive damage at extremely close range, but would risk either friendly fire or getting tagged by bugs so gives a risk/reward aspect.
I'm open to ideas on how to better balance the charge shots, I proposed magazine capacity to make it more of a 1 hit wonder like spinning death/fat boy

Weapon-Suggestions for, in my mind, ones that could be modded to Hoxxes and back:
- Pump-action shotgun or Rifle type Winchester. Base ammo lower than base auto-shotgun, slightly higher damage. Comes with shooting while reloading, can be modded to hold much more ammo in 2 steps(mod and overclock), but reduced damage/pellets, slugs with armor break or elemental damage.
- Minelayer yes, this one: Spider-mines than can be repositioned, but deal less damage than the mines Engi can throw. Can also be stationary, then deal more damage. They can be recalled once deployed only with a mod. Explode only once unmodded.
- A mid-caliber semi-auto Pistol, higher damage than Drillers Pistol but lower than the Revolver. Dunno if it can fill the gap between those two.
- Some type of Bolter, than can pin small and mid sized enemies to walls, even if they don't die, so can buy some time. Imagine mini axes beeing shot into bugs.
- SMG, maybe there's room between the dual SMGs and the Assault rifle. This one could even go to engineer, modding it with a grenade launcher that directly takes grenades from the thumper but deals less damage.
- Rollerball-Grenade, imagine a spike-ball or the rollerball-mines from Half-Life 2, with a mod that they are not homing, but roll down slopes for high damage. Very situational.
- Spike-Grenade single use, trowing it on the ground releases a timed spike from the ground, so one has to know exactly how long it takes to activate.
- Exchange ammo. When playing 2 same classes and using same weapons, gives the ability to toss a magazine to your fellow dwarf.
Now, roast my ideas 🙂

OC for Drak
"A Lump of Coal" (I dont have any good idea, and this placeholder name is a nice little reference)
increase in projectile speed
projectiles deal more damage the further they fly (I want it to greatly outperform TEF at longer ranges)
damage is reduced (the bonus dmg from OCs niche outweights it)
We all know that drak sucks at longer ranges mostly thanks to it slow projectiles, so I wanted to change it a little, and reverse Draks sad reality
Now drak is worse at close combat, but can quickly delete everything if you keep your distance from the target
And thanks to increased projectile speed u may take something else on T1!

Geode Crab (wip name)
Geode crabs are small crustaceans with sparkly shells that come in different colour variants. A crab in the crystalline caverns would be amethyst, and in the sandblasted corridors would be topaz. The crab looks like a small geode as well, with white and black rocks.
The geode crab is an ambush hunter, and will quickly emerge from the ground around their prey. On ambush, about 5-15 crabs will emerge. They are not too different to regular swarmers, however they can only be damaged with a pickaxe. They are one shot by a regular pickaxe, and die quickly to drills as well.

Dear devs, I've heard you will be adding sort of elevator to a new mission type in season 5.
Please note that engineers turrets are fixed on a global XYZ grid meaning they stay in place once you put them up, unlike his mine-grenades that stick to any surface and travel with it (local xyz grid).
I hope you will have a solution for this problem once you implement elevator into the game, and I would also love same solution applied on doretta or drop pod.

The animation for depositing minerals can be used for the smelter, the animation for building turrets can be used for the blacksmithing process etc. It’s already a 10/10 game but the TRUE DWARF EXPERIENCE NEEDS BLACKSMITHING.
