I’ve been thinking about this for a bit, what if we gave weapons a push back effect on enemies where instead of the stunning effect it would just push enemies an x amount. But, of course certain weapons would not be able to push back bigger enemies ( like the warthog wouldn’t be able to push pack a pretorian or a oppressor ) but stuff like hyper propellant would be able to push back bigger enemies p.s how do I access the regular DRG chat it keeps sending me here instead of typing.

Sludge Pump feedback
Please increase the projectile speed and puddle size/dps least somewhat, and ether somewhat increase the duration of the direct hit effects and/or have the duration of the direct hit effects be extended with multiple hits (2-3x max is fine), instead of merely being refreshed.
The velocity without the T1 upgrade feels rather quite slow (the arc is not so much the problem as the travel time), and yet the puddles even with the T1 upgrade aren't that big at all.
Repeatedly firing the Sludge Pump at fairly to very durable targets (Menace, Praetorian, etc) simply isn't very effective at all as it wastes the damage from the status effect, and the direct hit effects can't be applied for a much longer period of time if desired without micromanaging a target. Being able to simply fire a second shot to increase the duration up front if desired is far less annoying and less heavy on the micromanagement.

Light Weight Rounds (Stubby):
Rework entirely
Buffing electric arc (t5b) on Stubby could maybe give this a niche, but it feels completely unnecessary when it comes to going Damage Stubby on this oc , and would be questionable still even if Electric Arc got a buff. Stubby I think is already the perfect balance of high RoF, high impact and good ammo pool, something his other primaries lack at least one in. MCAO and EMD shred it in CC. Hyperalloy, EMR and even Well Oiled rip it to shreds on Damage.
Maybe rework it to buff electric arc in way?
Otherwise, it sits kinda purposeless.

Let us select our buff from Lloyd
Reason: It may take some time reloading Space Rig over and over just to get our fav buff. -
Add Cave Complexity and Cave Length modifier (If possible)
Reason: More danger, more time on mission, more chances to something goes wrong.
Cons is not everyone liking a 30~40m mission tho. -
Allow us to add Haz 5 modifiers into Elite Deep Dive.
Reason: With enough weapon mods and game time, it gets boring ((sometimes)). -
Make a "Giant-Like-Bulk-Detonator" Lotbug (And make a cry for it like detonator/crassus/nemesis) ❤️
Reason: Pet a big lotbug and take photo of dwarves riding on it.
PS: Make him with a shhhhh-ton of HP not impossible to kill but just for us to admire and do our dwarven thing.
PS 2: Make mission control lines going mad like Mushroom/Compressed gold - They can spawn anywhere in any biome. -
New mission modifiers:
Tiny dwarfes:
- Imagine Underhill Deluxe. That's it. Voice modifier added.
(You take more damage from enemies as well)
Heavy gravity:
- Scout grapling hook and zipline works normally
- (spacebar) Jump height by half
- More fall damage
- Quick fall animation
Haunted Cave (Rename the actual Haunted Cave to something else):
Periodically all of this will happen for random minimum of 15 seconds up to 45 seconds (Like sandstorms or blizzards, but MORE frequently):
- Flares won't work.
- Sight reduced.
- "3D/8D surround-sound-like" About dwarves crying for help like Nemesis voice-lines.
- Jump scares on few bugs attacking you (For example when you get stunned by a Slasher) showing a red staing to bait camera vision (Add the stun as well !).
- Slightly cold debuff for immersion (As we get chills, like the halloween skull).
- Can happen during extraction.
- New related voice lines for Dwarves and Mission control as well.

Greetings to the management and miners.
I'll start with the unpleasant, but most obvious news.
The season of "Drilling deeper" against the background of "critical corruption" and its predecessors looks very empty. We have a boring amateur mission where you have to run through all the caves looking for three signals, after which you get ten minutes of an interesting drive with shooting bugs on a drilling elevator, and... Again, nothing, until the moment of evacuation.
I have little to suggest about this, and what follows does not necessarily apply to the above.
-
Add a new large glyphid (if necessary, change the glyphid suppressor model). instead of its weak point, the abdomen will be replaced with a resinator crystal. It would be nice if it replaced one of the three scan points, which would add some variety. It would be interesting to somehow use the same feature as in rockpox-infected glyphids - multiple weak points throughout the body.
-
Change the generation system so that when going down on the lift, at certain moments it more often meets a "solid rock" and slows down. at the same time, add branches of caves so that at the time of the stop, the opponents not only caught up from above, but could attack in the same plane with the lift.
-
Add a micro-event, when drilling at a certain moment, the lifter may become entangled in organic vines (for example, red vines of one of the existing biomes), or something similar, and the team will need to destroy some core from which they grow by disembarking and leaving the lifter.
scarlet lake
-
Increase the size of the geodes themselves (And ideally make a full-fledged separate cave out of them, albeit a small one) by adding your opponents (the same core creatures), natural obstacles (for example, a wall of crystals on the way that needs to be gouged with picks, or lava geysers). You can also slightly change the models of ordinary glyphids to an "amethyst" analog, slightly building up crystal formations on them. Strengthen their bullet protection, give their status effects immunity, but reduce their protection from melee and explosions.
-
This has little to do with anything, but I would like to see a separate mission, with a large elevator rig, on which a serious descent will take place, into the very heart of the glyphid swarm. It implies a boss level (as with the warden of competitors), in which there would be a large cocoon hive, many glyphid eggs, etc. Create the cave itself from organic slime (as in the egg collection levels), and it is possible to add new structures, such growing eggs (gradually, after installation, grows in size. As it matures, if it is destroyed, it will release a swarmer, a soldier, a Praetorian, or worse, depending on the stage of growth.) this will encourage players to destroy such things faster. I would also like to see "non-combat" glyphids in such missions. For example, diggers who would tunnel for soldiers. Drones that would drag minerals (such as Nitra, red sugar, etc.) to the hive. Builders who would seal the damage to the landscape at the hive level with their saliva. This would be interesting, and it could well result in a separate task from the management of the "Glyphid population control".

Plasma Burster Grenades:

Considered by far the worst Engineer grenade, it's damage and fear properties are overshadowed by Prox nades, and completely inconsistent to down right hazardous to use at points. It deals IMMENSE friendly fire to you and others while not having the lock down power of Proxies.
Change it where it has only 2 explosions but both deal the damage of the 4 explosions, maybe even up the AoE on it a bit too. Also make the Friendly fire not mulch you and your teammates.

4th gunner primary "weapon":
TITAN WHR-8 Exoskeleton
tier 1 upgrades select the main armament, like with special bolts
t1a: Rotary Shoulder Cannon
-has 2 firing modes, press r to switch between them
-primary fire mode is a stream of HE autocannon shots, at much higher firerate than the base autocannon. each shot has reduced direct damage but higher area damage and radius. instead of reloading, there's a heat mechanic.
-secondary fire mode switches to APFSDS shots, that pierce through up to 4 bugs and deal massive damage to single targets. this mode restricts max firerate and disables heat buildup.
t1b: Swarm Missile Attachment
-missiles are fired from behind the user's head, they need a clear line of sight and enough headroom to reach their target.
-has 2 firing modes, press r to switch between them
-primary fire is semi-auto. shoots missiles with medium damage and area damage. holding down the trigger lets missiles lock onto enemies, up to 8 missiles in a single burst, and up to 8 different enemies. this weapon has a 4 second reload.
-secondary fire is charged up with the trigger. once charged, letting go of the trigger will launch a barrage of 50 small missiles that automatically hunt targets in a very wide area. individual missiles are similar to PBM missiles in terms of damage.
t1c: Heavy Railgun Rig
-primary fire (uncharged shots) deal large single target damage and penetrate up to 3 enemies.
-secondary fire (charged shots) have infinite pierce and deal an UNGODLY amount of damage in a single shot. after a fully charged shot is fired, the user is unable to move for 1.5 seconds
additionally: the exoskeleton lets gunner not be slowed by firing weapons, to jump higher and be resistant to slows (goo, earthquake, stun, electricity etc). but it would make his hitbox larger, so he could not fit through small gaps as easily.
if you go down, the suit will get damaged for the duration of the mission.
the more you go down, the more it starts to malfunction. if you go down too many times, you're forced out of it and have only your secondary.
important: the suit cannot be repaired, healed or refreshed from resupplies
tier 4/5 mod ideas:
1: "Sturdy Padding"
reduces damage from all sources by 33%, including fall damage. always active.
2: "Rocket Ram"
hold down special attack button to charge up rocket boosters. when charged, release to lunge foward at high speed (faster than dash). hitting an enemy with a ram will deal 400 melee damage with a small AoE. the charge can be steered while on the ground and in the air. cannot jump while charging. 50 second cooldown with 8 uses. resupplies grant 4 uses.
3: "S.N.I.A. (Special Nitra Infusion Applicator)"
increases inventory size by 200%. if the user has nitra in their inventory, pressing special attack button will start to spend the nitra to fabricate ammo for your weapons. 3 nitra recovers 1% of total ammo. each process takes 2 seconds. pressing special attack button again will stop the conversion. when fabricating ammo, the excessive noise will make you a priority target for nearby enemies. if the user has 50 nitra in their inventory, they can opt to fabricate a cache, which they can drop for teammates (same as one resupply node). fabricating a cache lasts 5 seconds. when completed, the cache will act like a heavy object, which can be thrown. the cache will despawn after anyone uses it to resupply
4: "Batallion Overcharge"
deal damage and kill enemies to charge up a meter. when fully charged, hold special attack button for 2 seconds to activate ability. when active, firerate, reload speed and heat recovery for you and your teammates (including sentries, shreders, hacked patrol bots and betc) is increased by 75% in a 10m radius. the active ability lasts for 10 seconds. when active, movement speed increased by 20%, for you and your teammates. additionally, instantly refreshes active perk cooldowns for you and your teammates upon activation. unlimited uses.

Tier 4 upgrade for Sentry: Shredder System
Your sentry has been modified extensively to function more like a heavy autocannon, shooting high-explosive rounds that deal splash damage and have an inherent stun chance. The larger, heavier rounds and heavy-duty sentries mean you can't carry as much ammo and deploying a sentry takes longer.

Idea for a new mission type: Retrieving old base
Core idea of the mission that it will be long but rewarding mission.
You land in the cave and your task is to regain the lost mining base from the times when DRG tried to conquer Hoxxes 4 with robots.(In this mission more chances for BET-C, Bad omen and rivals to spawn.)
First you need to regain control over 3 storage units, each of them is captured by one or another side of the conflict. For example first storage unit is taken over by same type of parasites which had taken over BET-C, and you need to destroy them while defending it from new parasites who are trying to take over storage unit again.
Second storage unit is taken over by rivals, you need to hack it by Hack-c, while you are hacking some of the patrol bots will try to regain control over storage unit.
Third storage unit is taken over by core stone, you need to break stone growths on the SU, after it you also need to defend it from the core stone monkies, also when you are defending it, near SU sometimes can spawn mini core stones, you need to break and destroy them, if you couldnt do it in time, they will turn into drifts which will spawn even more enemies.
When you regain control over all 3 SU you will need to go to the main base, you need to power it up somehow (maybe fuel cells like in the mini mule mission or with canisters like in dorreta mission idk), after powering it up, you can leave the mission.
Returning to the rewarding part, when you regain control over SUs, you can get recources of the location or themed rewards like core stone or piece of it from core stone SU, info cell from rival SU, bosco like drone, BET-C or mini mule from parasite SU.
(P.S sorry for my maybe bad english)
Main idea of this mission it to add challenging mission that will use ideas from other events and missions, in my opinion some challenging missions for pro players to try their best and for beginners to get resources and exp points more easily

SONIC BOOM (unstable overclock for the tunderhead heavy autocannon) DESCRIPTION: we came up with new special rounds that are filled with sonic emitters that deliver ultrasounds only percievable by glyphids and some white phosphorus, acting more like flashbangs for increased crowd control! but sadly, all the components take up a lot of space, so the explosive payload is much lower and they don't do as much damage.

Change cargo crates [208 items] to appear more often during missions to be proportional for amount of items in lost packs [90 items].My solution is this simple mathematical equation that raises the chance for cargo crates to appear with [chance for cargo crates to appear during a specific mission ]*( [amount of items in cargo crates]/[amount of items in lost packs] ) or any similar equation that would balance out the lack of proportion, this particular solution would also fix this issue for the future. Quite frankly in the future it is unlikely we would get more items in lost packs anyway, so I do not think there would be need for making it balanced out on both sides. They are rare to appear during missions on average and unlike season events for scrips, they are nearly impossible to farm. Players often are done with lost packs far before they even have 50% of items from cargo crates (which subjectively are more exciting anyway).
This is not a priority to be fixed, but I do not think it would be much trouble to implement even a "band aid".

Addition to it(cant add it to original message cause of limit). Fourth type of SU: SU is taken over by rockpox, you need to clean and restart it, while it is restarting, you need to defend it from rockpox enemies and larvaes, larvaes can infect SU again and you need to clean it, if you will not clean SU, restarting progress will stop until you clean it up. When it restarts you also get recources of the location or 1 to 2 plague hearts.
Also want to add some details. After restart or hack SU, you get recources of the location or themed goods. And when you take over SU, SU's turrets start to work again which can help you with surviving the swarm. Again in the mission will be only 3 SUs, 4 types are needed to add some difference in the missions so your missions will give you different experience each time, like bad omen's sections

Warthog:
Buff
Considered the worst Engineer primary, it lacks consistency and power to stand toe to toe with other options.
+2 pellets to base
Makes t2 ammo a better sell because the gun isn't lacking power behind that extra ammo
+2 damage to base
Makes t4 armor break more competitive for other options instead of just pump action.
(These are taken from VWA which I feel are perfect to round out consistency issues)
Min spread from moving now is 1 instead of 2.
Min spread from sprinting is now 3 from a whooping 8 (a good reason why taking pellets on current warthog feels almost mandatory)
** Spread recovery is made much quicker from 12 to 4.**
(All of this is a fancy way of saying that the spread is less punishing and faster to become accurate)
I'd probably move choke to miner adjustments as by buffing base hog, miner adjustments would see just as much use.

boomstick overclock that came to me in a dream
(dont take it too seriously)
“Radium Buckshot”
R&D got a little out of hand with this one. Using excess material from defective Fat Boy warheads, each pellet is coated in a layer of radioactive material that should irradiate whatever you hit while also hitting a bit harder. The barrels of the gun needed to be thickened to stop the bullets from irradiating the user on their way out though, and you can’t carry as many shells either for risk of self injury.
Each pellet has a 15% chance to irradiate the target.
Slightly higher stun duration (+1s)
Less ammo (-15%)
Less pellet count (-2 pellets)

STUPIDLY LARGE BULLETS (unstable overclock for the lead storm powered minigun) DESCRIPTION: do you feel like your bullets aren't big enough? do you want something bigger? better? more DANGEROUS? we implemented your minigun with stupidly big rounds made of a tungsten-platinum alloy, slower, heavier, but BLOODY HELL they hit hard!
STATS:
huge increase in damage and armor breaking
huge increase in weakpoint damage
bullets are slower and affected by gravity
less ammo
shell fable
PGL overclock that also came to me in a dream
“Hand Cannon”
Ever wonder what happens when you remove the explosive payload from the shells? R&D has the answer. Filling the shells instead with solid tungsten grants you the new Hand Cannon rounds. They hit harder and even blow straight through enemies, but all that extra weight means you can’t carry as many and the lack of an explosive payload obviously means no explosion.
Huge increase in direct damage (+275) and weakpoint bonus damage (+30% bonus weakpoint damage)
4x enemy blowthrough
No explosion
Less ammo (-3 max)
Lead Storm overclock which i think would be funny. Yes i’m just firing off individual overclocks which i find interesting.
“Flak Rounds”
R&D took inspiration off the Thunderhead for this. Instead of modifying the bullets alone, the entire interior of your gun has been changed to fire heavier, beefier, and slightly explosive rounds. That being said the fire rate had to be knocked down tremendously to keep the gun from detonating in your hands and the significantly larger rounds mean that you can’t carry as much ammo. The extra gunpowder needed to fire off the heavier rounds means your gun overheats just as fast too, even though it fires slower.
Flak Rounds (-2 direct damage, +6 AOE damage, AOE similar to Bulldog explosive rounds, affected by gravity)
Significantly slower rate of fire (-20 ROF)
Significantly less ammo (1000 base, 1400 w/ ammo upgrade)
Gun overheats “faster” (Same time to overheat as base Leadstorm, but each shot adds proportionally more heat to the meter to compensate for the slower ROF)
shell fable
Zhukovs suck so here’s one i thought of that would maybe fix them, or at least make them more normal to use.
“Packed Rounds”
Management saw a huge decline in Zhukovs’ sales last year, so after much discussion with R&D we’re proud to present the Packed Rounds upgrade for the weapon. They hit a bit harder and their adjusted casings make them much more accurate. That being said the fire rate had to be knocked down a bit, without it the guns would explode in your hands from all the extra gunpowder. The reworked firing system also means you reload a bit slower.
Increased damage (+4) and weakpoint bonus (+20% bonus weakpoint damage)
Increased accuracy (-40% bullet spread)
Slower fire rate (-5 each /-10 combined ROF)
Slower reload time (-20% reload speed)

CRSPR overclock: Glyphid Barbecue
Injecting a blend of pheromones and delicious barbecue sauce into the fuel mixture makes for a flame that crisps Glyphid flesh to perfection. Enemies killed by your flamethrower have a small chance to become Barbecued, distracting nearby enemies who will savagely consume the tender, crispy meat. However, some sticky flame compound had to be removed to make sure the meat doesn't get overcooked.

Suggestion: Assignment Queuing (Streamlined Progression)
"The caves are dangerous enough—managing assignments shouldn’t be!"
The Idea:
Allow players to queue 2 to 3 assignments simultaneously, so when one is completed, the next one begins automatically without the need for manual activation. This feature saves time between missions, especially for long, multi-step chains.
How It Works:
- While one assignment is active, players can queue others in a "next in line" slot.
- Once the current assignment is completed, the next one activates automatically.
- Players can reorder or remove assignments from the queue anytime using the Assignment Terminal.
Why It Fits:
- Keeps the focus on gameplay rather than navigating menus.
- Encourages smoother squad progression during longer sessions, eliminating breaks to activate new assignments.
- Gives players full control—nothing happens automatically without their input.
The Benefit:
This is a quality-of-life improvement that reduces downtime and keeps the action flowing. Imagine finishing an assignment and knowing that the next assignment is already lined up—more Rock and Stone, less time fiddling with terminals.
Rock and Stone!

M1000 Overclock:
Capacitor Banks
- focus shot charge time is nearly instantaneous
- focus shot base damage is reduced to zero - holding a focused shot will begin to charge the capacitor banks (full charge in 6 seconds)
- the max damage of a fully charged shot is much higher than normal (up to 400%)
- holding a charge for too long will cause a short circuit, which depletes your shield (short circuit after 0.5s at max charge) - a higher capacitor charge will build up a weak point damage bonus and maximum penetrations (up to +95% weak point bonus and 5 penetrations)

“Lo-Grav Thermal Feedback”
Taking inspiration from Scout’s Hoverclock, R&D has implemented an ingenious low gravity add-on that reduces the affect it has on your body significantly, both while charging and holding said charge, along with a few moments after the projectile leaves the weapon. Ingeniously, the module uses the excess heat energy that would have originally been lost to the surrounding air. Please consult management for the liability waver.

Mule selections for missions, for example, the host of the lobby can select different mules from a terminal. Maybe for the first on the list, it'd be 2x mini mules that move faster than a single mule, but they are slower to deposit in. Next, there'd be normal Molly, we all know what she does.

Autocannon Overclock:
12' Overtune
- ammo is pulled directly from reserves instead of the magazine, eliminating the need to reload
- ammo capacity reduced to only 11
- bullets act as projectiles with gravity
- +1812% recoil
- maximum rate of fire reduced to 0.15
- no direct damage - -90% spread
- AoE radius increased by 5m
- AoE damage increased by 220
- projectiles explode in close proximity to flying enemies specifically
- explosions carve terrain (1.5m radius)
- shooting the cannon is so loud, that it will stun everything (this includes you!) in a 5m radius for up to 1.5 seconds
- the loud shot and explosion cause screenshake
- after every shot, Gunner hums a familiar tune... (Grand Finale from 1812 Overtune by Tchaikovsky)

- hold r for 1.5 seconds to designate the drop position for a drill pod. the pod contains a small, high yield neutrino bomb, which deals high damage in a large area. after landing, the bomb must be manually armed by any dwarf, after which a 10 second countdown will begin. the bomb will get targeted by enemies, and will not explode if it recieves too much damage. when successful, it will explode and deal 500 damage in a 15m radius, which will harm you and teammates. 4 uses total and 2 minute cooldown. the explosion will not carve terrain
- 0.5x max ammo

Big bertha additions, basically 2 suggestions because I think they would both be cool.
big bertha now has custom effects for muzzle flash, hit scan project, and impact explosion, preferably red and with larger spark effects for the explosion. Could be similar to hyper prop or just red versions of the default particles. (No effect on balance)
big bertha's damage is converted to 100% disintegrate for both impact and splash damage. (Some effect on balance).

I heard of this planet made of diamonds, and I know that some planets have diamond rain. Just got me thinking, what if there was another planet in the game with hard circumstances to survive (eg, no oxygen, high temperature and pressure, diamond rain etc), but it's high reward with diamonds or something. I mean, the base is in space so it'd make sense for it to cover other planets in the solar system.

Also comes with a “massive increase” in damage, +30dmg, which is technically a huge decrease in total damage because it’s just one slug vs a bunch of pellets.)

Certain types of perks get buffed by a bit or added more function for their type of class.

Offensive perks = Gunner/Rock eater
Survival/revival perks = Gunner/Scout

Hover boot faster recharge/multi uses on Scout

PGL:
Huge buffs, huge mod tree reworks, just... very loaded. (Some ripped from VWA, great point of reference for an actually good pgl)
Base ammo goes from 9 (1 in mag) to 14.
I shouldn't have to explain this.
Reload Time goes from 2 seconds to 1.5.
Reloading after every shot is a big problem when you are a crowd control weapon that provide doesn't constant protection (like spinning death) so shorting it is a must.
Area Damage increased from 110 to 250.
The area damage on PGL is really underwhelming to say the least. Struggling to even kill slashers. Anything bigger is unfazed.
Friendly Fire damage decreased to 0.25x instead of the completely unreasonable 0.5x.
If Breach barely scratches you, this thing shouldn't either. Makes it not a guessing game on whether you can shoot your gun at low health. (Especially with t5 spiky on)
Mod Tree:
HE Compound is increased to +75 area damage respectively, and Payload removed. Makes the choice "Do I want more boom or more ammo?" instead of "Have any semblance of ammo or have any semblance of
impact???"
Ammo mod in t2 bumped to +4 to compensate for this.
Incendiary Compound:
Make it an oc. It's presence in the mod tree completely screws over everything else and now that PGL does 200 area damage, it likely just dies.
T5 Spiky would be nice to have on base pgl, rewards direct hits but doesn't get in the way of something like hyperprop, I don't really mind if it stays a mod though I guess.
Disabled Inertia:
This feels like it should be toggle honestly. So just make it one if possible. I would replace it with a -0.3 reload speed mod and move THAT to tier 3.
OCs:
Hyperprop: Remove the ammo downside and replace it with an area damage decrease, -90 area damage sounds alright.

Fat Boy: Ammo is it's biggest issue, but should be changed to only have 8 WITH the ammo ups.
Friendly fire on Fatboy should be rightfully cataclysmic.
RJ250:
Flat +8 ammo, reduce the faster reload speed to 0.2 instead of 0.6 (yes it has this, not stated anywhere so I don't blame you for not knowing) and -75 area damage.
RJ is still RJ, but you need a damage up to get back to base damage, so it isn't the best regular pgl option by default. (Up to suggestions on this.)
Compact Rounds:
Complete Rework
Yeah I kinda wanna try this thing out more and make it interesting, maybe have it be the only oc that gives pgl more mag?
Idk, but it has to become actually interesting.
Clean Sweep:
+1.5 radius and +30 area damage from a measly 10.
Good, impactful but still curbed increase to base effectiveness.
Pack Rat:
Remove it and replace with what Incendiary Compound did but make it a free 50% fire damage. (No damage loss)

“Condensed Plasma”
Drak Overclock
R&D figured out how to condense the plasma in your projectiles to truly maximize their penetrating capability. The smaller projectile has the same amount of energy in it as a normal one would, but much about half the size and thus more energy per square nanometer. That being said, all that extra tech needed to achieve that means a smaller battery and the components also generate more heat, with the heatsink needing to be downsized as well.

+4 damage
Less ammo (-15%)
More heat per shot (+15%) and slower cooling rate (-25%)
Additionally, a visually smaller projectile that is purely cosmetic and does not affect the hitbox or plasma splash radius.

Turrets:
Buff/Retooling to base
I know buffing turrets can a bit of a slippery slope, but I think these changes really bring turrets up to speed with Engineer's kit, without going overboard (except one change that I know is arguable)
No more reloading turrets.
Reloading turrets doesn't really balance anything in my eyes, it just puts a time limit on their already limited usefulness when you bother to place them, and you likely let them run dry and just recall them, because in higher hazards you likely only had time to build them that ONE instance during that swarm. Turret Whip still has that cooldown and ammo consumption to keep it in check.
Honestly, for the betterment of turret variety, wide mouth and mag size being replaced with something else just makes turret builds more than like 1 build. (Will be revisit this at a later date)
Decrease base build time to 2 seconds and make quick deploy 1 second. (Ripped from VWA, very good change from it)
Quick Deploy is basically forced on you on higher hazards I feel.
With this change, inexperienced players can choose quick deploy if they aren't able to make room for that 2 second build time, and maybe they choose ammo in that tier once they get comfortable or stay with deploy for more convenience (which I'm also considering adding more ammo to.)
(Any changes to mod tree besides the ones listed are still a WIP, I haven't had too much time to properly try out the mod tree.)

"Umanite is a newly discovered radioactive compound of naturally occurring Umanium-338, enriched from the exposure to the radioactive exclusion, they gain their unique square crystals due to the high density of its isotopes... although sharing name with a popular jukebox banger, Umanite fever is to be taken seriously, we don't want to tank its value in the market"
"Croppa is a mineral formed from a compound comprised mainly of cobalt and copper oxide, often left behind by silicate harvesters as waste material from the soil present in the azure weald or fungus bogs, but sometimes rarely naturally occurring in places where high heat and high pressure are prevalent, such as the magma core, perfect for reinforcing iron beyond its normal durability, it also gets used in fancy jewelry all across the galaxy"
"Bismor is a naturally occurring Bismuth and iron ore that seems to be present in areas of high biological or electrical activity, originally called Nemonite by management it has since been renamed to bismor due to its chemical composition, it can be used to add a more colorful finish to the metal of your weapons and armor, but it is also sometimes used to enhance the sentry gun's radars by making them more sensitive"

Make Cargo Crates, Lost Packs, Promotions and Core Infusers reward players with items for the character class they are currently playing (e.g. an Engineer looting a Cargo Crate could be awarded a victory move for Engineer or a framework for one of Engineer's weapons).
This would remove a sizeable amount of randomness from these already relatively rare events. It would make it significantly more consistent to unlock a specific cosmetic/Overclock for its desirable class, since it would effectively divide the game's evergrowing cosmetics pool by 4. It would also simultaneously encourage players desiring to unlock every cosmetic to use all four classes, which they likely are already doing due to things like the weapon maintenance paintjobs. It would also address the problem a lot of players who play one, maybe two specific classes face, which is that they often struggle to obtain new cosmetics and Overclocks for the class or classes they play, and end up drowning in rewards for the classes they are especially not drawn to, which can definitely be frustrating.

I think buffing it to more often compete with those options is a good way of bringing it to the forefront.

Good simple change that makes the high and lows of this oc not as extreme and punishing, and canceling the beam doesn't make you want to start crying.

Again, much less punishing to put your beam away, and faster gains on continuous use.

Why can't I rejoin a game I was in 90%+ of the time?
I have an unstable internet connection and because the game has a low ping limit I regularly crash and sometimes I can't rejoin because you see <Team finishes mission> - a team that consists of a friend and me who were there for the entire mission and diligently completed it, but because of crashes caused by a low ping limit I lose the right to rejoin the mission in which I was from start to finish. This happens regularly and it really irritates players with unstable internet, can't we allow players who were in the mission before to reconnect even if the mission is at the final stage?

Summary
Add support for low(er)-end resolutions like 320, 480, 540p for 16:9/16:10 screen ratios
Explanation
I (and many other players) successfully playing the game at lower-end devices, like integrated gpu laptops and portable consoles. However getting to the point when the game runs well of weak gpu is a pretty difficult task that requires some information digging (pun not intended). Best way to run a game on weak gpu is to lower the resolution until the game runs well.
Unfortunately DRG doesn't have lower resolution support, even tho engine does support them. The only way that allows to lower resolution beyond what game settings menu allows, right now, is to force the game by lowering global system resolution. Which gets even more awkward for folks that run the game on linux via steam proton (Due to window sometimes scaling weirdly).
Adding this small feature would really reduce the headache when trying to setup the game for weaker computers.
Why add this, when screen percentage exits, FSR, etc?
Because from personal experience i know that artificial methods of lowering resolution, that UE (and probably some other engines) uses, is not only worse for readability, but also has lower performance than just displaying the frame AS-IS. FSR is probably good tool to make game more sharp on more powerful setups, but on low-end it makes almost no difference and often is worse then just running the game with low resolution.
My favorite example against aliasing and other per-processing is Risk Of Rain 2, before devotion update game have not used a single pre-processing step.
After the update the game suddenly became very blurry, especially on lower resolutions im playing on. Turns out the added a small aliasing.

remove the brass casings from the zhukovs and change the firing sound to be more laser sounding. there's 3 reasons i made this suggestion.
1-this would make them make more sense with the mags now being batteries and the ejection ports being vents. by doing this, the gun is more realistic because laser weapons are possible as we do use lasers for things such as removing hair, cleaning rust and cutting things, but not only would the gun be more realistic with this.
2-it would allow people to not be distracted by the weapon not actually being functional in the real world and being put off from using it, which is my main goal of making this suggestion.
3-it would do is allow the game to run better while using them since the bullet casings would take up less frame rate, which i know doesn't sound like a big deal, but it really depends, for instance, this one girl i know has a shitty pc that could just barely run DRG well enough, but she and i both think that the NUK-17 would slow her PC too much for it to be fun with the casings, so making the NUK-17 into a pair of lasers instead of stubs would actually fit things well enough for her and some others i'm sure.

“Blackout Stout Bolts”
Boltshark overclock
(dont take this too seriously its just a neat idea i had)
Using the same method as the explosive catalyst injection method, R&D had the great idea to mix Blackout Stout and crossbow bolts! Attached to each bolt is a mini keg of beer which is injected straight into whatever you shoot it at. The bolts are heavier and so you can’t carry as many, nor can they fly as fast, but who really cares about that? Please see Management for the liability waiver.
Regular bolts replaced by “Beer Bolts” which apply the “Drunk” effect to bugs for a few seconds. (Drunk effect makes bugs attack slower and move erratically, along with performing random attacks that damages anything that happens to be nearby, both other bugs and players alike. Dreadnoughts need to be hit twice to trigger the effect which lasts for significantly less time.)
Less regular ammo (-20%)
Reduced bolt velocity (-40%)
Slower reload (+.7 seconds)
- Shooting a dwarf also results in a voiceline of your player saying something along the lines of “That’s violating my liability waver!” Or “I’ll get fired for that!”. No, they don’t get drunk if you shoot them.

Lead Storm Powered Minigun - Unstable Overclock
"Relentless"
UPSIDES
Damage increases based on how long the gun has been fully stable for, increasing by 1 for every 2 seconds of sustained fire, capping at +5 damage.
Weapon generates heat 100% slower
DOWNSIDES
-80% cooliing rate
Overheat duration is increased by 3x
(The idea is to make an overclock that both favors continuous firing, and synergizes better with T5B "Cold As the Grave" more than Hot Bullets or Aggressive Venting, but there needs to be something big that justifies the loss of fire, so that's where the damage boost comes in. It should not conflict with Lead Storm for a boss-killing niche because of its dependency on killing enemies to avoid overheating.)

My suggestions for balance changes:
Mandatory buffs
Stubby;
Lightweight cartridges-Increase rate of fire by one
Cyberalloy assembly-Make vertical recoil 15% less (because of the high recoil, accuracy does not allow to compensate for such a strong recoil, which is why you have to apply a lot of effort to control it)
Shard diffractor;
Feedback loop-Make the ammo reduction not 100 ammo but 50
Overdriven amplifier - you can walk during boost
Brt7;
Electromines - Increase the duration of the electrification effect
Micro Flashettes-Increase damage by 2
Coil gun;
Hell Fire-The trace will set enemies on fire already at the second (or third) level of charging if we take T2B
Lead storm;
Bullet Hell - Increase damage by one or make bullets guaranteed to ricochet
Plasma gun DRAK-25;
Rewiring Mod-Plasma gun restores ammo if heating goes over 50%
Gas recycling-Zhukovs can deal additional damage to weak spots, but Profit is reduced by 65%
Flamethrower;
Face Melter-Increase damage by 1 (for the sake of universe balance and a nice number)
(There are still many overclocks that can be improved, but I do not know how to do this. Judged by my own experience for adjustments in balance. And I apologize if I wrote the name of the overclocks incorrectly, I am not very good understand English)

First is Cave Weta, they’re terrifying and quite large. But I thought it would be a fun twist if you could eat some bugs in deep rock. Think small boost, or even just health. Finding larvae is one thing, but jumpy cave weta that you can eat would be neat.
Second is glow worms, you’ve really explored the glowing with the newest biome but I’m thinking sticky and glowing would be cool. You have webs but it doesn’t do a lot, would be cool to explore more kinds. Especially long webs with beads of sticky goo hanging from that ceiling that glow if you don’t shine lights on it.

I feel like that should replace one of the t2(?) upgrades instead, the damage without the defender system is absolutely pitiful.
Actually, Defender System damage should be base and then the upgrade add the same amount of damage. Hawkeye should have a priority targeting system instead of just the laser pointer along with that too. Also also, would be nice if they stopped shooting at oppressors when the armor’s in the way.

Rework the assignment system.
Right now it unintentionally punishes players for teaming up with friends and discourages random lobbies from sticking together:
Friends rarely share the same active assignment, so they’re often forced to split progress.
Random players usually leave after a single mission, since the next one is unlikely to help with their own assignments.
A system that better aligns or shares assignment progress would keep groups together and make co-op play more rewarding.

Add a mission type where you are dropped into a large cavern with no tunnels and have to kill an x amount of bugs before extraction with swarms being way more common. Between each swarm, MC drops a resupply pod near you since there is a lack of minerals in the area, where this is not about mining, its about thinning the glyphid numbers. When you reach the kill quota, the drop pod automatically lands somewhere in the cave and you extract. (inspired by one of the Helldivers 2 mission types)

Unstable OC for flamethrower
"Bioadhesive flames" or "Slow love"
- area of fire propagation between bugs increased
- bugs fear while burning increase by 10%, and burning bug will be more likely to go see other bugs who aren't in fire.
- burning effect last longer
- extreme direct and burning damage reduction -25% direct -50% periodic fire.
- less ammo due to the viscosity of the special fuel.
This OC as one goal put maximum amount of bugs in fire, but not directly kill bugs so any other secondary weapon who have advantage against burning bugs have more fun with it.

“Sticky Mine System”
PGL Overclock i thought would be neat
Minefield time, dwarves! R&D came up with a new compound and detonation system that triggers a chemical reaction to cause your shots to explode violently after impacting terrain. Ingeniously, they also developed a three round chamber system to maximize destructive capability. The new compound only works when impacting hard objects, thus shooting directly at the bugs is not recommended. Additionally, the new projectiles are much heavier and travel slower than usual.
“Sticky Mines” (Sticks to terrain, mines do 1.5x base damage in a much larger AOE than base (+1.5 AOE radius). Takes 2 seconds to arm and stay for 30 seconds before exploding automatically, or until a limit of 6 deployed mines is exceeded. Affected by damage/AOE upgrades but NOT fire upgrades. Mines glow red, similar to gunner’s Minelayer System, but slightly larger and with a distinctive color.)
3rnd “magazine capacity”
Significantly less damage and AOE radius when not in “mine form” (-60% base damage, -40% AOE radius)
Significantly less projectile velocity (-45% projectile velocity)

Massive focus damage bonus (+100%) and enhanced weakpoint damage bonus on focus shots (2x)
Significantly less ammo (-30 base) and lower clip size (-2 base)
Slower focus speed (70% base focus speed) and cannot move while focusing

This isn't a balance suggestion but I would love to still be able to use the reload animation for both the wave cooker and boltshark without going without one of the perks. For example for the wave cooker in order to get the animation you have to forego your tier 4 slot. For the boltshark, you either have to forego your tier 1 slot, or run out of bolts on in one of your inventories. I know its a minor and probably silly detail, but I like it when my driller asks himself if he can do popcorn with his gun 😂 (Maybe make it a hard R press for animation and tap to change the weapon or vise versa)

When we are fighting the last boss and I get disconnected I can't rejoin even if I was participating in 99% of the mission before and during the boss fight. My suggestion would be to create a way to rejoin even at the last moment for players that have been in the mission from the beginning. Not to be carried and "FARM" the last second mission but to actually be able to rejoin my own mission even if hosted by a friend.

Solid Stance: Bugs no longer cause you to flinch when hitting you with melee attacks. The recoil of all secondary weapons are also reduced by (Tier 1 10%, Tier 2 15%, Tier 3 20%, Tier 4 25%)
Thorns Rework: Damage for all tiers increases by 10. Small creatures cannot cause cool down of 0.75 seconds on thorns. When you deal damage to a medium creature or larger, your cooldowns for active perks go down by 2.5 seconds with the 0.75 cool down on creatures to regulate.
Active Perk Combat Focus: You activate this perk by (I dont know what would be a good way on the keyboard tbh) holding the key you've binded to the weapon of your choice (like how 1 holds your primary)
For the duration of 15 seconds you gain 15% Damage and 15% Weakpoint damage. (In the case of a weapon that can't deal weakpoint damage, I dont know :>[ )

It would be an incredible credit and time sink. The game already has a crafting material system so that can be used as well. Of course, it's client-side only and the host's rig is loaded when in a server.
Yes, there are essentials like all the terminals but just make sure that the player can't exit the build mode without these being built. OR just make one terminal with all screens. Though that might be quite some work.

Unstable Overclock for Locky
Any locked target is prioritized for your turrets for the duration of lock (Overrides Hawkeye ping)
Turrets fire continusly to locked target (No burst)
Sentries that are shooting locked targets get damage bonus (X1.2)
Firing to any target with more than 3 locks marks them. Duration= 5secs (can be increased with lock number upgrade)
Marked enemies count as locked and your turrets can keep locking even if you are further than 50m (Marked enemies are prioritized over Locked, Locked is prioritized over Hawkeye ping)
Locking any target ignores the range limit of turrets but uses Locky's range*1.25 as a range
Locking is disabled if further than 50m of turret/s
Less ammo(-X0.75)
5 max locks (Upgrades count towards mark lasting duration)
Less damage (-X0.85)
(Idea for this OC, make Locky a sidegrade and preferably make shard more like primary, after turrets as main damage)

“Solidified Sludge”
Sludge Pump OC
After a few safety mechanism removals, R&D installed an ingenious new system that launches a heavily solidified ball of sludge instead of the normal liquid junk with a charged shot. The ball is launched out with such force that it rolls over anything in its path, both crushing bugs and coating them in a layer of lesser-solidified sludge. Regular shots also hit a bit harder as a result of the add-on. The extra mass needed to shoot the projectile means a more costly charged shot, however, and the extra time needed to condense it also means a slower charge time.
“Sludge Ball” (Charged shot is now a 1m diameter ball of solidified sludge that crushes bugs underneath it and also coats them with sludge for a short duration, rolling for 10m. It acts similarly to a Shellback if it comes across a wall, meaning it rolls up it for a second before coming back down. It does not leave a trail of sludge, nor does it explode at the end of its lifetime. Can be lit on fire mid-roll)
Slightly increased regular shot damage (+6 base)
Charged shot costs more ammo (+4 base)
Slower charged shot generation (-15% base)

Add a new Medic/Stealth class, where you have a limited amount of ammo/health boxes (named medsupply for simplicity) to put down and encourage stealth play by adding bleed status condition to medics weapons and cloaking/disguise. This would be with the intent of forcing the player to choose between caution or pushing to attack. This would further encourage player variety and style/strategy while also keeping things fresh. Possible cloaking or "pheromone disguise" with limited time/uses that you can get refilled only at resupply drop pods, not from your own medsupply. a sidegrade might be at cost of reduced effectiveness, you would be able to cloak/disguise a teammate or teammates in a area around the medic. medsupplies would possibly resupply teammates for 25% and 15% for yourself from any medsupply to further encourage teamplay. Enemies may target the medsupply rather then targeting the player, which may be used as a distraction or encourage a point of defense (pod).

! - The Mactera Snapdragon has Unbreakable armor on its front. Attack the weakpoint on its back to quickly dispatch it.
! - This mactera has powerful wings, which allows it use its fireball attack while dodging. This leaves it stunned for a short duration afterwards
! - It is recommended for miners to aim directly for its throat with a powerful attack while its charging for a Fiery Sweep, which will stop its current assault and stun it for a short duration if waiting for it to tucker out is not viable.
! - These specific enemies can be indicated by the sound of large flapping wings and the rapid snapping of their beak, similar to a shoebill bird.
Attacks: 1. The Fireball does lower than average direct damage, but deals large amounts of heat damage in a small splash radius that can set dwarves on fire if hit too many times. 2. The Fiery Sweep attack requires a small amount of time to charge, and can be indicated by a large billowing noise and an increased brightness on this mactera. If it isn't interrupted in time, it will sweep a large path out, causing enough heat damage to most likely set any unaware dwarf on fire besides a driller with their armor modification against fire.
Resistances and Health: They have around the same health as a Mactera Goo Bomber, are resistant to heat damage, and are harder to freeze than an average mactera.

(No, not an overclock idea) The Warthog Auto Shotgun is a very fun weapon, and mechanically speaking its does pretty good damage up close and has realistic range for a video game shotgun. With a few overclocks like Cycle overdrive or Pump action give it a very fun feeling to most, but many agree that it feels like its missing something.
I believe that the Hog doesnt need as much base stat changes as you would normally see talked about, but rather the majority being to its mod tier tree order and some new options.
Some of the things I listed do take inspiration from Pump Action, but dont automatically gift its raw damage, and assuming this was a real change, other such changes would go to the overclocks, which I will not be doing because assumption of change is key.
Base changes that I believe would allow the Warthog to breath: +2 magazine capacity, +14 reserve ammo. 6 is quite small for a weapon such as the hog, and +2 is a fair change. 14 reserve ammo is to balance out the reserve and to deplete how big of a gamble taking something over ammo in the original hog tree was.
Tiers: any changes will be explained next to the new mod or the changed mod. The mod trees order has also been changed, as it forced most builds into the same direction.
Tier 1: Supercharged Feed Mechanism, Overstuffed Mag
Tier 2: Quickfire Ejector, Recoil Dampener, Choke
Tier 3: Expanded ammo bag: +24 to a maximum of 138, Loaded Shells
Tier 4: Flechette Shells: Adds +1 blowthrough to Warthog, Shockwave Shells: +5 shockwave damage within 1.0m length and 0.5m radius (For example the Jury Rigged Boomstick shockwave damage is a radius of 1.5m long and 1.5m radius, source wiki.gg)
Tier 5: Turret Whip, Aggressive Feed Mechanism: +0.5 fire rate. Whenever you kill a creature of medium size or larger, you reload 1 ammo from your reserve into your magazine. (This might seem nonsensical, but many other guns such as the M1000 has faster reload on kill, or the Plasma Carbine having Hot Feet)

Autocannon Overclock “Carpet Bomber” rework: “Flak Round”
- Remove direct damage
- 0.5m proximity fuze
- AoE damage/area bonus stays the same
The carpet bomber has been greatly overshadowed by Mortar so by giving it proximity fuze it should be easier to use and make it still a relevant pick instead of a downgrade to mortar.
If possible (but unlikely): instead of boosting AoE damage/radius, make the flak round work like IRL flak which spreads shrapnels as the main damage source. It can be something like direct damage x 0.5, shrapnel (pallet) x14 (all direction spread) on proximity fuze detonation so direct damage modifiers are still relevant while making the weapon feeling unique

astral siren
What if when you try to electrify an enemy that already has the status, a chain ...
A wild idea since zap zap got mentioned
As of current implementation electrocution is just another generic debuff that deals DoT and slow, which is boring to say the least.
I think it can have some kind of system very similar to temperature, enemy can accumulate charges (voltage) and gets electrocuted after a certain threshold. Of course, since enemies are technically “grounded”, there is a natural charge dissipation rate and make the area near charged enemy have a small charging rate (similar to how heat would also heat up nearby creatures). However, opposing to heat that would compound stack each other when against a group of enemies, electrocution damage would be reduced due to ground voltage level increased by nearby creatures dissipating charges, making it better against single target.
A few key features hopefully would be sufficient to explain the system
- Voltage should be allowed to stack indefinitely
- Electrocution damage per tick scales based on square root of creature voltage vs environment voltage (rapid diminishing return)
- Voltage discharge rate scale linear to voltage difference between creature and environment (so it soft caps)
- Lightning mechanism: A creature would emit an aura with radius based on square root of its current voltage. If another creature which is not electrocuted enters this radius (check during electrocution damage tick), a lightning is formed and the charged creature rapidly discharges the voltage into the non-charged creature damaging both creatures in the process
- Group charged mechanism: similar to the point before, any charged creature within the radius when damage tick is checked, the damage is reduced, as the ground nearby is supposedly already charged making the voltage difference smaller therefore dealing leas damage per tick

Subject: Feedback on mission reward scaling — current system feels mathematically unfair at higher difficulties
Hello fellow dwarves and Ghost Ship Games team,
I’ve been analyzing the way credits are rewarded based on mission difficulty, and I’ve noticed something that seems mathematically inconsistent — and potentially unfair — especially for players taking on higher risks.
Currently, the credit payouts for different hazard levels increase linearly, something like this (example values):
Hazard 1 (25%): 906 credits
Hazard 2 (50%): 1062 credits
Hazard 3 (75%): 1219 credits
Hazard 4 (100%): 1375 credits
At first glance this seems balanced, but if you break it down:
The absolute increase is nearly constant (~+156 per level)
The percentage increase actually decreases at each tier (17.2% → 14.8% → 12.8%)
The credits per 1% risk drop significantly as you go up in difficulty (from ~36.2 credits/% at 25% to only 13.75 credits/% at 100%)
This results in lower efficiency the higher you go — even though the difficulty increases sharply, the rewards do not keep up proportionally. This discourages pushing into the more challenging and fun hazard levels.
💡 Suggested improvement
I’d like to propose a simple and fairer alternative:
Each difficulty level increases the reward by +25% of the previous tier’s reward.
Example with the same starting value (906 credits):
Hazard 1: 906
Hazard 2: 1132.5 (+25%)
Hazard 3: 1415.6 (+25%)
Hazard 4: 1769.5 (+25%)
This creates a consistent percentage increase that better reflects the escalating difficulty — especially from Hazard 3 to Hazard 4, which is widely considered a significant jump.
📈 Why it matters
More rewarding for skilled players without being overpowered
Keeps game balance while maintaining risk/reward integrity
Simple to implement: just apply a fixed 25% bonus at each tier
I believe this kind of change would enhance the incentive to play harder missions while keeping the core balance intact.
Rock and stone! 💎⛏️
Thanks for reading.

We should be able to buy custom missions.
However, no minerals can spawn (jadiz, bismor, etc), Gold and Nitra spawn at normal rates. Beer ingredients spawn at normal rates. No Phazyonite. No events can spawn, e.g. machine events, cargo crates, etc. Jetty Boots can still spawn but at half the rate they normally would. Credit and XP gains are at 75% the normal rate (150% XP for Double XP mutator) to combat those that only want to play custom, Dwarves should only just break even by around 500 Credits but should eventually lose out because of promoting one the classes. For those that are in S3 or S4, Harold and meteors cannot spawn, Lithophage Contagion Spikes can spawn as per Lithophage Outbreak. Prospectors cannot spawn, Nemesis can spawn as per the Rival Presence. Crassus cannot spawn, Bulk's can. To unlock custom missions, Dwarves must complete an assignment, same length as the Haz 5 and Haz 5+ assignments. Once unlocked, Dwarves can go to the mission selection terminal and click the button that is next to the Full Server List, it should say "Custom Missions". Custom Missions will count for assignment progress so long as the Cave Length, Complexity and number of Mutators are met. For Mutators, a standard mission could have only Low Oxygen, for the custom mission, it can have any negative mutator like Lithophage Outbreak. If a standard mission only has positive mutators. Negative Mutators can go up to 3x, for example 3x Cave Leech Cluster (might want to bring Hightened Senses for that one), but positive mutators only go to 1, partly because 3x Critical Weakness would make Haz 5+ double bugs WAY too easy. Speaking of which, Haz 5+ can go up to 5. A extra negative mutator can be added but it will not count towards the hazard bonus.
On a separate note, we should be able to sort by mission type in the Full Server List, I hate having to scroll the entire list to find two different matches for my assignment (cuz old missions still count for assignment progress)

shell fable
I think more events in general should have more world building around them
- Cargo crates having spotlights and an abandoned/broken pod nearby that would’ve sent the crate into orbit had it not been abandoned, all to give a sort of failed “holdout” scene (The way I see it, there were dwarves before you that were planning on sending the crate into orbit with the minerals but failed to do so and instead escaped some other way).
- Salvage missions having more evidence of dwarves that came before you, like lost mineral bags and platforms and ziplines. Maybe even old burned out flares around the cave too.
- Omen towers should have bug carcasses/bug blood surrounding the area, their original purpose was to exterminate bugs so..
- Kursite events should have some more stuff around them, maybe also some yellowish bug blood to indicate a previously failed analysis.
- Caves with jet boots should have evidence of other dwarf activity in them, cause like.. why would the crate be there if there wasn’t people beforehand. Alternatively, maybe have it placed under a hole/crash landing scene along with other assorted debris to indicate a wrongly ejected cargo pod or something, with the only surviving things being the jet boots.
- Black boxes should also have some assorted broken equipment around them to indicate, of course, another failed holdout by a previous team.
- Random popped/hatched dreadnought cocoons would also be neat to see as well. Maybe in salvage missions/missions with random events where there’s evidence of previous teams being present there could be completed season events too (Broken core stone monoliths, opened data deposits, exploded comms routers, etc etc)
None of this would affect gameplay (aside from the mineral bags you’d find on salvage missions), all of it would just be pretty fun world building. Maybe have everything be destructible too (Hitting old zips/spotlights with your pickaxe can break them) just for ease of use.

A good idea would be to add a new biome called the sunken reach. The landscape should consist of weathered rock a a lot of plants with the a couple of lakes and rivers. The rivers would cause you to slide in the direction there moving and the lakes you could swim in. A new enemy could be the glyphid diver which would have fin like arms and tentacles coming from its chest. It would behave as a cave leach in a way where if a player got within a certain range of the glyphid diver it would swim toward the player rapidly and grab them. Once it grabs them it would retreat back to its spawn area where it would then slowly kill the player and the only way to stop this would to be a teammate shooting it. Another enemy would be the soakling which would be like a swarmer but it lives in the water releases acid on death. The planet would be abundant with bismor and scarce with magnite. Also a event that can happen should be a flood which makes the water levels rise making it harder to move through the cave.

We have a family-friendly channel, and that includes language. While I personally LOVE when the dwarves swear in game (they are dwarves working a hard job, after all), it makes it tricky for us having a family-friendly stream when the dwarves drop some colorful language.
Could having a profanity toggle be a possibility for the lines the dwarves say? Either by disabling certain lines, or even more hilariously, having a censor sound? The censor, of course, would be something in-universe. Maybe replacing every swear with the word "Karl" or beer glass hitting the ground?

Unstable OC for Idea for the Jury Rigged Boomstick: Shockwave Shells
Instead of firing pellets, the weapon now produces a potent conical explosion that is fairly long and wide (width increases somewhat to moderately as distance increases) but with somewhat limited range of 8-12m (reduced strength damage falloff starting past 3-4m is fine) and somewhat less ammo capacity and reload speed.
Would be quite potent vs groups of medium health enemies, but also risks (some) friendly fire if not careful and is less capable vs more durable enemies.
I am mentioning that an unfortunate byproduct effect of converting the weapon to area damage means that it sadly can't benefit from frozen targets (despite my desires for such to have reduced benefit vs frozen targets instead of none), so being able to reliably clear a patrol of grunts with somewhat reduced ammo is a fair trade for not being able to obliterate frozen Praetorians and Oppressors with the regular buckshot.

New game mode idea: Possible future season??
To take the game to a completely different environment a new mission type:
On the surface of Hoxxes an entire Space Rig has fallen from orbit due to an unknown cause. Miners are required to deploy underneath the surface and dig UPWARDS towards the Space Rig gathering data modules to determine the location of a hull breach to gain entry.
Once located the miners use a machine called the “Chasm Crawler” or ‘Crawly’ to ascend a large chasm to reach the hull breach.
Once inside the crashed Space Rig the miners will work there way around the wreck to gather data on the Rigs last moments which require them to hack into the mainframe and scoop up the info, all the while getting attacked by malfunctioning defences. Once collected the miners will make their way out and run back to the Crawler where it will swiftly descend back down to the stable tunnels beneath so the crew can retreat to the drop pod.

Improving the Rock Pod's OCs
Specifically improving the Rocket Barrage and reworking the Mine Layer one.
I've been trying to grind the weapon color schemes for the rocket pod and I really find it to be incredibly underpowered, or it certainly feels like it.
I just feel like with how weak the rockets are and how ridiculously quick it goes through ammo, the Rocket Barrage OC feels in desperate need of a proper buff.
And I think the devs should just rework the Mine Layer or whatever it's called OC to something more useful, as I have never seen anyone use it.
I think it should be reworked into a "Homing Barrage" OC that works like the lock on system for the smart rifle, but it shoots out 9 homing missiles.

Now just calm down guys, I'm suggesting something I thought would be cool. It's not a big deal.

A roaming (optional) Bagworm (moth) dreadnought. It gains different resistances and attacks based what it picks up from the environment to form it's cocoon. When it's stomach is full or five minutes after the mission starts it will enter it's metamorphosis phase on the nearest ceiling. When disturbed in this state it will turn into a flying form to attack with clouds of gas. In both forms it can throw pieces of it's armor at players.

“Red Sugar Bolts”
Boltshark Overclock
Fitted with a vial of red sugar and regenerative bug blood compound, these new bolts have the ability to heal your fellow dwarves as long as you stick them with it! Thankfully, it doesn’t heal any bugs other than Steeve. R&D still doesn’t know why that happens. As a result of the specially made injection points, they do significantly less damage and the extra weight means you can’t carry as many. Unfortunately, they fly slower as well and take significantly longer to reload.
“Red Sugar Bolts” (Heal teammates and tamed bugs 40hp when shot, teammate health is showed above their heads when hovering your crosshair above them.)
Significantly less damage (Bodkin Point levels of damage)
Significantly less ammo (7 total shots without the ammo upgrade, 9 with)
Slower reload (+1.2s) and bolt velocity (-30%)
Only affects regular bolts. Special bolts act as normal with no up/downsides to them.

For April fool's, introduce a SUPER SPECIAL SECRET UPDATE to the space rig. The update is... cleanup. "Well, at least I saw this coming. Management finally caught on to the state of the rig, and demand you clean up your various messes posthaste! We've supplied you modified cleansing equipment to facilitate the process, as it's what you're... most comfortable with. Get to work, and for the love of god, stop spraying driller with the foam..."
A special mission type that takes place inside the space rig. All your equipment has been replaced with the lithofoamer as the primary and lithovac as the secondary. Aside from the usual cosmetic junk, there's unidentifiable splotches everywhere that have to be foamed and vacuumed like normal. The junk too big to vacuumed up has to be deposited into the launch tube for dispersal or the barrel hoop for incineration. DOTTY WILL NEVER APPEAR AS JUNK.
The reward for everyone who actually decides to do this? The ability to swap between a 'clean' and 'old reliable' rig as the host, as well as some stats on the event.

While wandering on r/DeepRockGalactic, I saw a pretty sad post featuring a cartoon about a Steeve glyphid left behind after the mission. In the comment section, somebody answered the following text:
*"There was a post I saw a while back where someone suggested a very rare event that can occur during a glyphid swarm.
Mission Control goes “Team, we’ve got another swarm on its way. We’ve never seen something like this before… buckle up.”
Dozens of glyphids burst out of the ground, but they’re all Steeves and start fighting the first swarm. Once the hostile swarm is cleared all the Steeves start doing their glyphid cheers before burrowing back into the ground. The Steeves we leave behind aren’t abandoned, they find their brothers and continue the fight for their true comrades, the Dwarves."*
Now, it has probably been suggested already, who knows. And I do not know how hard it would be to implement in the game, but for the love of Karl it would be such a soul-hug to have that in the game. That may sound silly, but I'm often reluctant about playing the Steeve perk because I grow attached to him and leaving Hoxxes once the job is done is always quite bittersweet.
However, if that's too complicated, how about adding something in the Hall of Fame, once you have tamed a glyphid for the first time ? It could be a statue honouring his bravery, but on a more positive note, picture this:
Once you have finished a first mission with Steeve surviving, the Hall of Fame or Medbay could have a simple screen featuring a portrait of Steeve along with a small map and a red dot. Upon interacting with it, MC would tell us that according to the data received from the tracker placed on Steeve during the mission, he's doing alright.
The Steeve event may be a task that would require time and resources that the devs could want to invest elsewhere, so the small tracking screen in the space rig would be a much smaller, less impacting, yet very heartful addition to the game.

my suggestion is for the extraction drop pod to heal you for 1 health if you enter it with 0 health while under the effects of iron will (or some similar workaround for the problem I'm mentioning below)
this is solely meant to stop the situation where your entire team goes down on the way back to the pod, but you're next to the drop pod, ready to be extracted, you iron will into the pod, and then... the pod doesn't leave, you run out of iron will and die in the pod, and then you realize one of your teammates a mile away from the pod also has iron will, which prevented you from leaving - this way, once your iron will runs out, you'll still be alive in the pod, just with not enough health to leave it, and you aren't punished for your teammates not having ran out of iron will
currently you need to make sure all your teammates activate their iron wills and then die before you can activate yours to enter the drop pod, which is a weird-feeling workaround and can be hard to coordinate in the ten second window you have to activate IW before losing the mission (especially for console/controller players, who don't have text chat)
otherwise you can actually lose your run entirely because you didn't burn all your iron wills before the end of the mission, which is pretty strange

**Steeve Rework **
Idea:
The ability to “release” Steeve and let him burrow back into the ground to reunite with his pack. This way, we could release Steeve at the end of a mission instead of leaving him wandering alone.
Implementation:
Hold the interact button (E) on a tamed Steeve - this would make him do a small salute gesture (similar to Bosco’s) and let him burrow back into the ground.

Stubby OC: Coulomb Bullets
Category: Unstable
If bullet hits an electrocuted target and successfully re-electrocute the target, the bullet ricochets. There is no limit to how many times this can happen but a bullet is unable to re-hit the same target
Side effect: T5B electric arc induced electrocution can proc the ricochet effect and deal full bullet damage if it attempts to electrocute a target that is already electrocuted, causing bullets getting generated out of thin air. The damage potential is restricted by the “cannot re-hit same target” rule to prevent infinite arc bouncing

It always feels weird to me that goo puddles only interact with fire but not ice. I suggest allowing goo puddles to be supercooled (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooling) after taken enough cold damage. Supercooled puddle will crystallize on the first enemy that touches it, consuming the puddle and apply the corrosion effect (same as a direct hit from goo) while also applying moderate cold damage.

Sludge Pump overclock: Glyphid Toothpaste
Makes your goo behave similarly to real life 'elephant's toothpaste' that causes it to rapidly expand as soon as it comes out of the barrel.

The foamy substance also covers a much larger area, but is comparatively much easier to move through.
Generates some heat meaning enough foam can ignite an enemy
Foam covers a much larger area of ground
Foam is much easier to move through than sludge, so it slows down bugs less

Reworking some of the OCs
I hate to sound like a bit of a broken record, but after looking at many of the OCs and gear modifications in the game, I find it incredibly annoying that far too many of the OCs for weapons feel pretty underwhelming.
And just know that I say this out of a love for the game and a desire to see it be made as good as it can possibly get. And I'll just use the Auto Cannon OCs as the example of how they could improve OCs in general.
Composite Drums: Can go unchanged, as it's only an ammo OC.
Mortar Rounds: Mostly unchanged, maybe getting a slight buff to ammo and magazine size.
Big Bertha: Reworked to be the opposite of the Mortar Rounds, with very high direct damage and armor breaking, but with very little if any AoE damage.
Neurotoxin Payload: Reworked to actually be gas rounds that can create clouds of toxic gas that linger and kill enemies with DoT damage.
Carpet Bomber: Buffed to be the more basic but still effective AoE OC, but without any major penalties aside from less direct damage.
Combat Mobility: It could maybe use a nice proper passive speed buff or something to make repositioning oneself easier to do.
Splintering Shells: This OC should be reworked into something different all together, since there are two other OCs that do the AoE damage far better. Maybe "Incendiary Rounds" or something.
That's just how they could improve the auto cannon OCs, but I know they could do more with other ones as well.

This idea just came to me in a dream: an anomaly mutator, that is basically an equivalent of modded's extra objectives, random events and minerals.
The principle is as follows: One mission on the mission terminal CAN get this anomaly mutator and get 2 mission objectives, simmilar to a single deep dive mission, an increased chance of random events, like jet boots, bittergems and machine events and a chance to have any of the 6 minerals in it. The mission with this modifier has a chance to feature enemies from biomes, that do not belong here (Sandshark in biomes other than Sandblasted corridors, radioactive exploders on non-radioactive-exclusion-zone biomes)
I think of this modifier as a sort of "Bean Bonus Room" from Harry Potter games: There's a lot of all kinds of rewards here, if you get a chance to visit it.
The chance of this anomaly apearing can be made smaller than the rest, the unbelonging minnerals can be made rarer than the main biome minerals.

**Reworking some of the OCs**
I hate to sound like a bit of a broken record, but...
Autocannon is fundamentally flawed as it’s trying to do everything and excels at nothing; Most builds push a weapon to one side of the extreme and make the other weapon or other means to cover the other extreme. The inaccuracy of autocannon means it’s designed to do area saturation damage, but its aoe is comically small and most of its damage got assigned to direct.
To fix this, I think autocannon itself needs a rework. The appearance of autocannon always reminds me of bofors 40mm so we can start from there:
- Default autocannon should have 0 direct damage, big area damage but extremely low max damage radius while having a large total radius to simulate a flak round
- Proximity fuze by default: make it similar to wave cooker that have a cylinder extended from the gun and detonate the bullet at first contact (remains hitscan)
Overclock changes
- Splintering Shell (Clean -> Unstable): Instead of radial AoE, the damage area becomes a cone / half sphere with significantly increased radius
- Carpet Bomber: increased spread, increased AoE and increased proximity range with randomly added fuse delay (no longer always exploding as soon as possible)
- Combat Mobility: Maybe add a small grace period before the weapon resets the RoF (note: this also retains the T5C effect)
- Big Bertha: blowthrough enemy that got killed by it
- NTP: loses proximity fuze/ chance of applying neurotoxin decrease over range like damage does

“Angel System”
EPC Overclock
Using a never-before seen energy transfer system, R&D completely reworked the firing and plasma systems for the Experimental Plasma Charger. Charged shots now act as “hubs” for your regular shots. When hit with a regular projectile, your charged shots transfer a percentage of their energy to it while directing it towards the nearest enemy, dealing more direct damage. That being said, the charged projectiles move extremely slow and do not explode on impact anymore. Furthermore, the Thin Containment Field upgrade no longer works as intended, instead giving you an increased number of regular shot deflections.
“Angel System” (Extremely slow moving charged projectile. Similar to base TCF, shooting the projectile with regular shots interacts with it. The shots deflect into a nearby target, dealing significantly increased damage (2.33x). A maximum of 6 shots can be hit by the charged projectile before it disappears. Burning Nightmare still works exactly the same, Plasma Splash damage scales with the damage buff, and TCF provides you with 8 shots rather than 6.)
More costly charged shot (+2)
Increased charged shot heat generation (Instant overheat after shooting a charged shot) and longer overheat duration (+.1.2s)

“Lock-On Module”
Hurricane OC
-# i too like this guy’s idea
Taking inspiration from Engineer’s Lok-1 Smart Gun, each individual missile is fitted with a heat-seeking device that automatically hones in on locked on targets. The added precision of artificial intelligence means that they hit weakpoints nearly every time, however the weight and extra space needed in the missiles means you carry less and they don’t hit nearly has hard.
“Lock-On Module” (Acts similarly to the Lok, targets can be locked onto by holding down the fire button rather than auto-firing missiles. The fire rate upgrade instead acts as a lock-on rate improvement. Each enemy can be locked onto a max of 6 times, and every lock-on past 3 ignores armor and always hits weakpoints as long as there is any section of it broken off. This only really applies to Lacerators/Arbalests. Missiles avoid terrain to a simplistic degree, however they can’t just completely auto-curve around pillars and other large obstacles, as they lose their lock on once they face more than 50 degrees away from their target and instead lose all tracking ability once that limit is passed.)
Increased missile maneuverability (+30% turn rate)
Reduced magazine (-33%) and ammo (-30%) capacity.
Reduced direct and area damage (-15% for both)

The damage and area of Thin Containment Field should scale based on the charged shot’s damage and explosion radius.

Third last tier upgrade option for the engineer's turret:
- Turret is thrown like a grenade;
- Turret assembles itself;
- For it to start deploying, it has to hit a valid surface, so it will bounce off walls/ceiling. As a failsafe, it returns if it fails to deploy in X seconds.
If other options provide more damage over limited angle or focused fire over a larger radius, this option allows turrets to be used as a quick fire support if caught off guard or on the move, similar to Shredder Swarm.
Also it would allow the engineer to deploy turrets on platforms higher on the walls if they are used for zone defense or as a quick support for dwarves in the cave below.

For Industrial Sabotage, instead of using a hacking pod to disable the power station, the mission could sometimes feature a “Chained Nemesis.” In this setup, a Nemesis is physically tethered to the power station and used as the power source. While it’s chained, the Nemesis has a frontal shield, moves slower, and the power station occasionally emits force fields that push players away. If the Nemesis moves too far from the station, it seals up but keeps powering the Caretaker’s force field.
If the Nemesis is destroyed close to the power station, it shorts out the system and lets the dwarves open it up to cut the wires directly.

24 new weapon suggestions! 3 primary and 3 secondary weapons for each class - complete with images, descriptions, stats, mods and OCs. I've spent many, many months (years even) to come up with these ideas so that they feel different enough from the weapons that already exist for each class.
While the devs have said they are unlikely to add more weapons in the future, I hope these ideas can sway them to think otherwise 😉
Please, have a look, it is a LOT to read:

Make molly customizable
Right next to the deep dive terminal where are those mules
The upgrades could range from speed to depositing faster
Also add paintjobs and frameworks
late fern
Couple of things from my playing experience:
- Driller flares need to be better (shine brighter, recharge faster, ect.) Can't tell you how many times I've needed to throw one, only to realize I'm out. Pain in my ass.
- Septic Spreader needs to be toned down considerably. Far too tanky for a ranged creature, and is really annoying to hunt down and deal with.
- Deep Dive difficulties need to be more consistent. I always find them to be either suspiciously easy or ridiculously hard.
- This might just be a client-side issue, but occasionally I'll clip something weird and be sent flying across the map, which really sucks. Would be great if that didn't happen.

An idea for a small random activity on the map:

Rework the perks into subclasses and make it into a skill tree of sorts.
Group the already existing perks that do similar things (maybe even add new ones having a subclass in mind). For example: Bug master subclass with perks like beast master, heightened senses, it's a bug thing; or Medic subclass with perks like field medic, sweet tooth. Other subclasses could be Pick-lover with melee related perks, Miner with the mining and depositing perks, or Tinkerer with the equipment enhancements perks.
I would also suggest, being able to display the subclass that is being used, and to have a seperate promotion system for subclasses (preferably after unlocking all perks of all subclasses). It could cost 1 blank matrix core to level up a subclass 1 level, and u could get a bigger number and a kind word from mission control (maybe some extra stuff like phazyonite).
(Yes i know that perk rework isnt planned)

In regards to newest season6 content reveal:
||That new mission is interesting indeed. However I'm not sure about the logistics of it. Are lasers supposed to bore through 100s metres of rock to make a new shaft? Seems a bit excessive and wasteful of money fuel/energy. What I'm saying is there is already a big shaft on the map that can be used. Droppod one. So maybe instead of making a hole above the rock, the mission should be about dragging that rock to an excavation shaft?||

The mechanics of rejoining Deep Dives are absolutely atrocious. You need to be friends with the host, and they have to invite you to the lobby for it to work. This means that in public lobbies it's nearly impossible to rejoin a Deep Dive if you lose connection for some reason. Rejoining a Deep Dive should work the same way as rejoining a normal mission, where you don't need to be friends and you can just rejoin the lobby by navigating to it in the Deep Dive Terminal.
The reason why this bugs me so much is because I only learned that it was even possible at all to rejoin a Deep Dive when I already had more than 800 hours in this game. This should either be made common knowledge by directly giving the player the information in-game, or changed to be intuitive rather than pointlessly pedantic like it is right now.
TL;DR, the problem is:
To rejoin a Deep Dive, you need to:
A: be Steam friends with the host
B: receive an invite from them to join their lobby

Regarding the IFG:
1) Please significantly increase it's duration, and ether (preferably) improve ammo count from 6 to 8 or (less preferably) significantly increase it's radius. It doesn't last very long at all, and the radius is so small that you typically need 2 of them just to sufficiently cover most tunnels from a single direction.
2) Adjust the visuals some so it's less obstructive of whatever is inside/behind such. It can be rather difficult to clearly see through with all the little electrical particles.

Just watched the season 6 announcement. When the bone collector event came up they started talking about some kind of trail it would leave behind you need to follow. I wanted to suggested making the trail an invisible gas-like pheromone trail that will require special goggles to see. Perhaps tagging the bone collector with the laser pointer could be the trigger for Mission Control to send down a goggle package. This could also be used to introduce a new mini game to unlock the goggle crate and put a new arcade game in the space rig.

A seasonal option thats the OPPOSITE of "Unseasoned". Where you can get any event or modifier! Would be fun for people who want variety but don't want to constantly switch seasons at the season terminal.

New mission suggestion (deep dive only?): your team is sent on an emergency mission to destroy a deeply buried egg that has just been discovered and is about to hatch naturally. (Because the location is deep, almost every rock is hardened)
First you need to find it and, upon seeing it, you realize that, as it is mature, you cannot break it with your weapons. You call mission control and they say that the best and only available (and cheapest) way of destroying it requires the use of large amounts of explosives that will devastate the area and send it down to the location. After setting up and activating the explosives, they will level the area leaving a large open arena where the ground is mostly flattened and only some ancient hardened rocks and pillars remain.
Unfortunately, the explosion is only strong enough to crack the egg and release the creature (as using more explosives or other ways would be too expensive), and now you must fight this almost perfect Glyphid boss.
Version 2: your team is sent to an area to investigate a deep location where there is a high concentration of insects and discovers an egg about to hatch naturally. The rest plays the same.

I was watching the recent DRG On the Horizon video, and I had an Idea right about 20:55 (when the topic of discussion was riding the amber out of the hole).
I think it'd be really funny if there were special voicelines and a mechanic for dwarves trying to ride stuff out of caves.
If the game detects you on top of a returning vessel that isn't the drop pod (e.g. HACK-C's pod or the amber chunk), it would trigger a voiceline once you got past a certain height threshold. At the same time, your dwarf would slowly lose friction on the surface of whatever is returning while getting pushed around (as you would too if you were standing on top of a rocket trying to reach escape velocity). This would inevitably lead to your dwarf "slipping" off of the rocket and dying (preferably before they can see the returning vessel despawn).
I think it'd be a more diegetic way to keep dwarves from escaping the caves, as well as enhancing immersion by hiding the despawning.

daily special rework concept
• the buff beers on the menu are tied to the current selection of missions, rerolling when the missions do. This unfortunately means you can’t reroll the beer by refreshing the lobby, but it makes more sense as a “”daily”” special.
• optionally, add an extra buff beer to choose from the menu, to keep variety up since the beers won’t change with every mission now. Maybe there could be some other solution, but this one is the simplest i could think of. However, without some solution like this, you could be stuck with dark morkite for a solid 30 minutes.
The reason i suggest this is to de-jankify the beer selection system. I’ve had a good buff beer roll on me cuz i had to reset my game, and i’m not too sure the devs like that players can reroll the beers since they re-approved the beer selector mod, so this was kinda my thoughts/take on it.
(Edit)
This has probably been suggested before, feel free to respond however you want to it
(Edit 2)
I keep getting occasional reaction notifications on my mobile device from a user named john. Don’t know if this is a bug or not.

I have an idea, so during the announcement of the season 6's event the devs said that the Bone collector wont leave sprinkles . But I think that there might be a use for such sprinkle-leaving creatures, like during the DRG Anniversary event. So it will work almost the same way, but it will also be anniversary themed. And instead of the bone collector leading you to a room full of bones and enemies, an anniversary themed Ossuran bone collector(or a different creature) will lead you to a room full of gifts and valuable resources(or smth else). Also you could call this variant of the Ossuran bone collector differently. For example the Ossuran Gift Collector.

A blue perk that allows you to hold onto 50% ammo. Doesn't restore health. Only works on primary and secondary weapons. Can be used one time on first tier, then the number of uses increases on further tiers. Must wait for a minute or more if you have more uses. Passive effect would be a nerfed version of Deep Pockets, like +5 or +10 carry amount.

The character limit for a steam username isn't congruent with how many characters appear in-game (I believe that only up to 18 characters in a name will appear in-game, whereas the character limit on a steam username is 32).

some ideas to shake up mission's is on haz 3+ on any mission a swarm can be a dreadnaught swarm where when the swarm spawns it spawns 1 juvenile dreadnaught cant be hive guard or the twins has to be the normal variant this can only trigger once in a mission with it being a juvenile its smaller but also weaker in health, and damage so its not to crazy while dealing with the swarm still. Also mini bosses spawn rates feel like should be increased its been a minute since I've see a korax weed or a prospector

Rather long and complex, but that's the way most things will gradually increase if more OCs are added. Also this is a charge based OC similar to Rotary Overdrive on Leadstorm.
Warthog Unstable OC: Inductive Plasma
gain 8 plasma charges that can be used by pressing R. After shooting a charge, the warthog will return to its default firing mode. Half of maximum charges can be recovered when resupllying. Charges can be used in two ways.
-
If shot at a creature, they will gain a status effect for 15 seconds that causes them to take additional damage from Plasma and Electricity damage for the duration, and if killed by one of the two damage sources explode into a residual cloud of plasma. The larger the creature is, the bigger the residual plasma left behind.
-
If shot at a turret, they will not expend ammo, but instead will shoot energized plasma from an unlimited source depending on your turret type:
Gemini System: 10 seconds
LMG MKII: 20 seconds
The statistics of a turret while under the charge effect are the exact same, but instead of dealing Kinetic damage, it's projectiles will now deal Plasma damage. After the time has elapsed, a turret will not be chargeable for 30 seconds.
1 second cool down on weapon after charge shot is fired
Weakpoint stun change is reduced to 3%, and weakpoint stun duration is reduced to 2 seconds
Reload Time increased by +1.5 seconds

the general idea imo
LOK-I OC - semi-auto
bullets shot from lock on mode damage reduced to 10 or below
reduce max locks to 3
reduce fire-rate of bullets shot from lock-on
increase how long it takes to hold the trigger to start lockingo n perhaps, i hate trying to spam click to use semi, and sometimes actikvating lock on
(reduced lock on rate maybe)
increase damage to 30-35 (from 21) 36-41 (from 27)
increased max ammo to 200-250 (280-350 with upgrade)
(maybe increase magazine size/increase reload speed)
the idea here is to make a build for engi where the weapon leans into more of a semi-auto carbine role, boosting its ammo/damage while also hard nerfing its lock-on capabilities
i would suggest removing the lock-on altogether but the lock-on is needed for a lot of its upgrades to work
(this could also make more sense realisticaly as reducing the AI presence in the bullets could mean for more ammo storage/damage since i would assume the bullets would be quite expensive logically speaking because of the whole lock-on thing going on)
i feel this is a nice addition to engi's kit and would make for a step toward making lok-i a usable gun (of course buffing its base stats would be better, but i also just want a semi-auto built carbine weapon for engi, and this fits perfectly to me)

New enemy: Glyphid protector
The protector is a walking wall, providing cover to bugs behind it, including explosion protection and blow through protection. This fella has heavy but destructible armor, similar to Praetorians, that also protects its weak point. It attacks by biting, crushing or charging at you, and on death leaves a puddle of goo. This guy's counter should be armor breaking, but the penalty of not having it is having an enemy that is hard to kill and protects other bugs.

A selectable mission region near the edge of the visible planet. This densly-packed region is known for small caves with large chambers due to the gasses formed during the cooling cycle as they settled, the perfect place for R&D to test new equipment.

Armor rework (the one for bugs)
Currently, armor on bugs matters only on 1 enemy, the stingtail, and everywhere else its just a destructible aesthetic, I am not saying thats bad to have, but its supposed to be armor, not decorations.
The point of the rework:
Make armor a legitimate concern when making builds, make armor breaking a useful stat, while not too important.
How exactly do we do this?
Make armor on certain units more prevalent than on others as well as changing how much of it there is and how it interacts with different damage types and weapons.
Lets start with the armor itself, some units get armor close to or perfectly as its supposed to be, like praetorians and grunt guards, but some not so much. Which units get it wrong and why? Lets start with normal grunts, there is quite literally no reason to have armor breaking against them, so why not make the armor a tiny bit heavier, and make the flesh under the armor take slightly more damage. The glyphid guard should have more armor on its back but less on its sides, and again, more damage on the flesh. I'm gonna rapidfire the rest of the enemies:
Acid, web and sceptic spitters should have low armor, more exposed weakspots since they attack from range (Not the menace, they feel ok right now)
Crasus detonator should have breakable armor that drops gold pieces, its the most armored unit right now, and most of its gold is annoying to get, hes more of an annoyance than a lucky find
Corespawns should have hard armor, but squishy flesh, double armor values but double damage on the flesh
Mactera goo and ice bomber should have destructible armor parts that, after being destroyed, expose an another weakspot
The rest of the enemies are fine to be honest but here are some other ideas:
Corrosive status effect massively increases armor damage
Heat, electric and freeze damages armor by a random amount (different pieces pop off after a while)
Temperature shock breaks a large portion of armor
young lagoon
I just thought of an Overclock for gunners minigun: a secondary fire mode wher it loads all the barrels with a few rounds and fires them off all at once for big damage, causing big heat build up and consuming a bit of ammo. I dont have exact numbers but i feel like it could be fun!

Salvo Module OC Suggestions:
1) Change it's classification to Balanced. It doesn't have much of any real downside other than the removal of guidance and the inherit spread of the salvo.
**2)**The overall dispersion of a salvo should be reduced by half or two thirds. This is so all of the projectiles from a full salvo can actually hit a praetorian (and do so reliably) at a decent range instead of barely not missing such at short range.
3) The velocity bonus should be changed to a flat bonus instead scaling with how much it's charged, and have instant acceleration (ie they start at max velocity). This is so leading shots is more consistent at any salvo size.
smoky whale
What if gathering extra secondary objective items counted towards more money, because after you complete your secondary you just kind of ignore them for the rest of the mission.
clear horizon
If engineer can get a pimped out subata in the form of stubby, I think another class should get a modified preexisting weapon.
My suggestion is that driller gets modified lead storm that has been fashioned with a microwave instead of a bottomless magazine/belt. It would fire similarly to the wavecooker with gamma contamination (hitscan radiation dammage) but with individual "bullets", not a beam. The spread, rate of fire and magazine would have to be set to make it not too similar to the actual lead storm so maybe it doesn't increase in accuracy over time and it has a limited charge, as in it would have to reload. I imagine there is a literal microwave door on the side and whatever is powering the weapon is swapped out for the reload animation. This would follow the elemental theming in driller's primaries and it would also bring a new weapon style to their arsenal. An electricity themed weapon would be cool too but there are already a lot of electricity themed mods and OCs.
I also think the new battle rifle would be a very good gunner primary 🙂

Subject: Deep Rock Galactic Kvas – A True Dwarf's Brew for Hoxxes!
Hey Miners,
We love the Abyss Bar, but what about a truly ancient, traditional drink for our brave Dwarves? We propose adding Kvas to Deep Rock Galactic!
Imagine:
• "Grandpa's Kvas Corner": A new, rustic section in the Space Rig bar, offering a taste of home. Think old wooden barrels, hearty aromas, and a sense of tradition.
• New "Fun" Kvas brews: Just like our beloved Oily Oaf, Kvas could offer hilarious side-effects in the bar (like temporary beard-dyeing!) or quirky visual gags during missions.
• Strategic "Mission" Kvas: Beyond just fun, Kvas could provide unique, lore-friendly buffs for our challenging missions. Picture "Iron Belly Kvas" granting temporary resistance to slowing effects, or "Baker's Boost" increasing drill/platform tool speed!
• Unique resources: Maybe Kvas requires "Hoxxian Rye" or "Fermented Fungi" found in specific biomes, adding new objectives.
Kvas adds character, tactical depth, and another reason to say "Rock and Stone!" at the bar. It's a taste of dwarven heritage that our hardworking miners truly deserve.
For example:
- Kvassgiver
• Buff: One automatic revive
• Side Effect: After respawn, for 10 seconds you experience “dazed effect”: slowed reload and shaky camera, as if the dwarf hasn’t fully recovered - Crystalshaker
• Buff: +50% resource carrying speed (crystals, minerals, etc.)
• Side Effect: Weapon reloads 50% slower - Bubble Overload
• Buff: +15% grenade damage, +10% explosion radius
• Side Effect: 5% chance when throwing a grenade — it slips out of your hands and falls at your feet - Foamy Echo
• Buff: “Rock and Stone!” → team gains +5% damage for 10 seconds
• Side Effect: –20% movement speed and –30% pickaxe/reload speed — short-term fatigue after the shout
Rock and Stone to the Bone!

Since I have been playing DRG for a very long time, I noticed that the problem with all Dreadnoughts is that they are boring, because their main tactic, so I offer my ideas for improving Dreadnoughts.Let's start with the Dreadnought Glyphid, because of all of them, it's the most boring, because besides the fact that you just need to circle around it and wait a very long time for the right moment to shoot it in the back,and to solve this problem I suggest adding him a special dash move before which he will scream and raise his paws, after which he will run in a straight line towards the player, and if he crashes into a wall,He will be stunned for 10 seconds or more or less, allowing the entire team to comfortably hit him, but if he hits a player, he will stop and make another dash.
The second Dreadnought in line is the Guardian Dreadnought, it is much more interesting than the Glyphid Dreadnought, but its second and third phases are very unpleasant because in these phases it very often circles on the same place because of which you have to wait again for a very long time, and in order to make this wait more interesting, you can add in these second phases the suppressor's technique where he shakes the ground, which will give the players timeIn the third phase, you can leave it unchanged, but add the ability to reflect projectiles with a powerful pickaxe strike before they fly, which will stun the Guardian Dreadnought for a while.

“P-VOM System”
Sludge OC
Taking inspiration from none other than the Praetorians of Hoxxes, R&D came up with an entirely new dispensation system for the sludge. Rather than use any fancy gravity tech to launch the sludge chunks, the mixture instead is misted directly out of the tank. While this means you lose out on a good deal of range and puddles altogether, you get a lot more ammo and responsiveness while retaining the core abilities of the corrosive sludge. Additionally, the lack of coagulation agent within the mixture means the corrosive effects are more potent.
“P-VOM System” (Replacing all firing modes altogether, it instead acts nearly identically to a praetorian’s vomit attack. The gun no longer has a magazine system and is instead connected directly to your ammo supply. Upon firing, the trigger can be held to disperse a cone of sludge up to 8m in front of you that has “infinite blowthrough” against bugs, as long as the path of the sludge isn’t blocked. The damage increases the longer you hold down the trigger, retaining the “charge” aspect of the gun.)
More ammo (+60 base)
Increased direct hit corrosive damage (x1.5)

drg's progression system is really really bad after you max the perk tree
it's basically gambling and imo there are a lot of people who never make it past around level 70 because they get hit with stinker after stinker in terms of overclocks
this is basically what happened to the friends i started playing drg with. i think they wouldn't be so burnt out on the game if it gave them better overclocks
imo there should be one assignment per class where after completing a pretty large number of missions, say 5-6, you get to choose exactly 1 specific overclock to unlock
it incentivizes playing all the classes and learning about the game from other people
they could call the assignment something like "R&D Work Order Special Request: Scout"
yes, i know that we previously received an update where a weapon overclock infused matrix core was added to the rewards for promoting a dwarf, but i believe it's time to evolve again. there are 160 overclocks in this game and if someone is playing to get one overclock they really want, it basically feels hopeless to keep rolling those dice over and over again and they give up unless they already connect deeply with the game.

“P-VOM System”

*Taking inspiration from none other than the Praetoria...
The velocity upgrade in tier 1 can be used to increase the range, while the puddle radius upgrade widens the cone. The magazine upgrade I guess would act as a slight increase in ammo?
In tier 2, the charge shot damage increases the upper limit to the maximum damage ceiling when holding the trigger down while the regular shot damage acts as a clean damage increase intended for shorter bursts. Unfortunately I can’t figure out a way to make the fragment count upgrade useful. Maybe an increase in damage cone height rather than width.
In tier 3, the supersaturation mixture would just increase effects duration. Ammo upgrade would of course just be an ammo upgrade.
In tier 4, the Spillback Extension could reduce the ammo use per second when holding down the trigger while the charge speed increase could make reaching the max damage limit faster and more responsive.
Finally, in tier 5, both upgrades work exactly the same.

Rare Rival-Tech Ambush – “Scorptron”
Imagine a rare, solo Rival-Tech predator lurking in dark caves: the Scorptron. Fully mechanical, stealthy, and deadly, it stays hidden until dwarves approach, then strikes with its segmented tail. Weak points on its tail backside and legs reward smart tactics. Solo spawn, rare encounter, perfect for tension and suspense in deep mining missions. Fits seamlessly into the Rival-Tech aesthetic.

Redesign Glyphid Stingtails
Problems:
1. Not Glyphidy enough! — It's bad enough that it has a tail (necessary to function), but it has no big frontal limbs, no gaping maw, no chunky abdomen. Even an Elf could see that this is no Glyphid.
2. Poor vulnerability communication! — How are these Green Beards supposed to know where to shoot? Everything on Hoxxes has a big mouth or a big glowing sac to shoot, except this bug. It's got a tiny pimple on its chin and some faded blue mush beneath a tough armored plate on its back. What fun is shooting bugs if they don't tell you where to shoot them?
3. Defies Dwarven countermeasures! — If I shoot a Cave Leech or a Mactera Grabber, it stops trying to touch me. If I steer clear, I can avoid a Q'ronar Shellback or a Nayaka Trawler. A Stingtail though? I can be shooting it AND steering clear and I still get yoinked like a beer at Lloyd's tavern!
Solutions:
**1. Give it a Glyphid face! **— The head should be tucked into the shell like a Guard/Praetorian, it should have a mouth I can shoot, and it should have a cross between current Stingtail design and an elongated Glyphid Guard head spike with Praetorian tusks. That under-chin pimple is too hard to pop so just remove it!
2. Give it Glyphid legs! — There should be two front legs like most Glyphids have, and they should protect its face like a Guard, and it shouldn't be able to see to grab anyone when it does this!
3. More vulnerability! — Make its armored back weak point bigger! A lot bigger! And bluer! A Glyphid Warden does it right if you ask me! Maybe when you break that armor, it inflates like a balloon!
4. It needs a goo sac! — The bottom half the Stingtail's tail should be extra sensitive and glowy, like the underside of a Q'ronar Shellback, but more bulbous and squishy! If that make's them too shy, give them some plated legs so they can cover themselves while they protect their face!

I think bosco should be able to stay “alive”. if doing a solo mission and someone joins bosco just… explodes. This is kinda sad since he’s meant to be your teammate but just dies. So I propose that if someone joins then bosco just flys back to Molly or whatever main rocket to be able to store himself without just flat out exploding. Like some kind of charging dock. And the next point is if you’re doing a solo mission and finish solo then whenever you leave bosco just stays behind like we are abandoning him. It would be super nice if there was a mini “seat”/ charging dock that bosco can go to inside the drop pod so he can return with us. Overall he just feels wrong and sad that bosco gets blown up and left behind when he’s supposed to be a part of the team.

An option that becomes available after a certain amount of promotions where we can pick our mission control handler (change the voice that alerts to hordes and gives summaries and notices for the missions). The first option would be the normal voice. The second would be a robotic voice with minimal voice lines. This voice wouldn't give summaries to the missions when you exit the drop pod since the player is already experienced and likely wouldn't need it. For warnings there would be an alert noise, such as womp womp "Glyphid swarm incoming" or womp womp "High level threat detected" (random boss fight) but for mission completed voice lines it would just be something like, for instance, the liquid morkite mission; "Package received, sending drop pod" or the hunting missions "Threat neutralized, drop pod ready for deployment". The third option would be a woman who's accent and vocabulary is much more Scottish. Example: a glyphid swarm "Oi! There's a big number of medium sized dafties coming your way! Take it to 'em!" and for the random boss fight; "The hell is that...? Drop your beers and put up your fists! Some big hackit dobber is looking for a fight." And for mission summaries, example: mining mission, "Aight, you don't need me to explain this one for you, but in case there are any numpties on this team; mine the shiny blue stuff, drop it in the mule, press the button, and scanter on back to wherever I feel like plopping down the drop pod. Got it?" or the hunting mission, "Hope you're up for a fight ya white livered jakeys. Those corporate bawbags want you on pest control, so give those scabby radges a paggering for me yea?"
sidenote: whenever you swap from the main mc handler he'll say something like, "Finally! A break from you idiots." lol

There should be a new biome called Dark Overhang. It is more of a flatter ground area with caves on a horizontal plane with dark to black stone with green foliage. This would be all an overhang of the depths below. There is a toxic pool of liquid a few meters below the bulk of the overhang. The fog and atmosphere is pitch black. The team will have to navigate across the pools from overhang to overhang whether by old bridges or by the traversal tools provided them. The goal is to get to a far off location where there is are subs docked at an abandoned bay. The subs hold one player each and can be used to navigate the depths below the overhang. New enemies like boney fish or something else which can be combatted by the arms of the sub (Which resembles something like a prawn suit from subnautica) Some fish must be deterred with a light pulse that can only be recharged in the bay (there are three charges before having to resurface) creating a dependency on the bay for further searching. Other fish can just be fought. The players will need to reconnect the cables that transmit signals from resonance crystals to "maintain the ability to keep the information flowing to keep the deep imaging clear for management". As well, molly will not be able to follow the team down to that depth, so bosco will be there to retrieve anyone if they fall in

So I saw an idea a little while ago about making error cubes give over clocks and I thought it was a decent idea but it seems a little too op for it to cost only 1 error cube for an OC I think to balance the idea a bit better make it cost 1 error cube and 50 of each mineral and you get to pick what type of OC or for which class you get it for (yeah yeah yeah do the recycle emote I alr know you people will idc)

Idea for Thanksgiving event (I know this holiday is practically only for the U.S. but hear me out)
the shuttle pilot once more ran into an accident and had to dump his cargo of turkeys for thanksgiving dinner on the rig onto Hoxxes IV, much to the surprise of absolutely nobody
so it's time to suit up and track them down!
of course, Hoxxes does what it does best, and like the christmas elves and halloween skulls... the turkeys have come back from the inanimate to make the task that much more difficult...
mechanically, they behave like stalkers, mostly invisible, only looking like a faint outline upclose, but like the stalkers, you can still hear them flapping around like fester fleas... of course, if you salute, they too will respond with a loud "gobble gobble gobble" that will uncloak the model of the plucked and butchered turkey, just ready to be put in the oven, surrounded by the outline of a live "phantom turkey" (think the unknown horror from haunted caves)
Upon defeat, the turkey's phantom dissipates, leaving the whole unthawed turkey ready to be picked up and put in molly
I think it'd be a neat gimmick idea that follows the pattern of the other "living" decorations' gimmicks (the christmas elves running around the cave walls, and the halloween skulls flying around)

Suggestion: Reworking the Deepcore Assault Rifle's OCs.
I honestly that the Scout's assault rifle has some of the most underwhelming OCs of any of the weapons, as many of them just feel like they're either far far too gimmicky or they're not really useful beyond some almost meaningless utility.
A few OCs like the AI Stability Engine are fine in what they do, but most of the others feel incredibly underwhelming. And why does it have 2 firing speed OCs, one of which doesn't really do much at all?
Aside from Homebrew Powder and Compact Ammo, and ASE of course, I honestly think they could do anything that's more impactful with the other OCs.
But this is how I think those two OCs should be reworked
Compact Ammo -> Extra Magazines
Homebrew Powder -> Diamond Tipped Bullets
Extra Magazines: +80 Max Ammo instead of a tiny +5 magazine size.
Diamond Tipped Bullets: A nice +4 or 6 damage and +200% more Armor Breaking, but maybe at the cost of -80 Max Ammo, since these bullets are so expensive to produce.
I just think that the Deepcore assault rifle deserves to have its OCs be as impactful as many of other weapons.

If using error cubes for special cosmetics is out then I propose there be a way to display them somewhere like have a pile of them laying around or something to show how many you’ve found. It would also be cool if there could be an add on to the memorial hall that’s like a museum of sorts. Now hear me out this would be so cool. There could be a section for each type of equipment such as doreta, hacksey, corstone rocket and such. Then another section for the sample containers/rival tech. Then the main thing could be a display of each type of mineral/resource that will be displayed and you need to collect a certain amount of that resource to add/donate it to the museum. I think it would be a pretty cool addition. I hope you agree
Maybe even stuffed versions of each enemy to go look at and appreciate their detail. It’s hard to look at them while you’re shooting them so that would be cool to get a close up look at the different bosses or some different glyphids

I have a suggestion to change this so it’s not like a stalker. What if there was a glyphid that’s called the Watcher. All it does is watch you and gather intel. It will stay far away and not attack but if you attack it, it will run away pretty fast/burrrow away and wait until you forget about it. Then later you’ll just see it watching you again from across the cave. If you kill it, it will let out a very loud scream and a bunch of bugs will come to avenge it triggering a small powerful wave. So you could go a whole game without killing it but if you do kill it you’ll be rewarded with its huge eye for RND to research. I think this would be a really cool and creepy addition.

Mitigating the Randomness of Weapon Matrix Core Infusion
i realize how weird and controversial this idea is, but i think it would be beneficial to the game to add an algorithm that sources data from the number of players who use a certain overclock. (or use karl.gg) this means that there would be an objectively sourced overclock hierarchy, which could then be applied to giving newer players overclocks.
the idea i propose is that if a player is new to overclocks or hasn't played the game in a long time, they have better luck and are more likely to roll an overclock that is high in the hierarchy. this luck would go down as you keep grinding for oc's, and will start to go back up if you are away from the game for a week or more.
this would make newer players more eager to play the game because of the consistently good oc's they receive and get to use ingame, and would make the "overclock grind" less punishing for players who don't have a lot of time to consistently play the game and chip away at the 160 overclocks in the game, many of which are just a waste of time

For the alternate mode on the zipline launcher you can fire the zipline at more vertical angles, but the zipline has a weight limit of 1 dwarf, if more than one dwarf attaches to the zipline, the anchors will no longer be able to hold and will break away from the wall.

Tl;dr: Make the Yuletide in-game period more closely matching the majority of western world population (i.e. longer span than other seasonal events, and longer than it's usually lasted anyway).
How it is now: In DRG tradition there's not a fixed date every year for the start of this seasonal event, looking at past years it would hit on the first Thursday after the 13th December (the day when, in Baltic countries - Denmark included - the xmas tree is usually put up) and would last for 19 to 21 days
How it should be: Push the starting date forward, taking the xmas tree tradition as a reference, thereby increasing its duration
Why: It's just about the main holiday period of the year, it deserves a larger span! Jokes aside, the build-up to xmas is the better part of it, and have the in-game event start so close to the actual Christmas Day unnecessarily cuts that short and kills it... a bit
Background: in the USA xmas trees are put up as early as mid-November, but most people make it the day after the 4th Thursday of November/Thanksgiving Day (i.e. on the Black Friday)
Pros:
The double XP bonus linked with the holiday would make this the best time to help the newbies catch up (especially this year, soon before the new season launches);
As pointed out above, the earlier starting date would make it more closely resemble its irl counterpart;
The Space Rig is so much cozier when decked anyway, and this ought to be even more the case through the holiday season, which is all about the vibes!
Cons:
The grinches out there might hate everything related to xmas and so they'd hate on this change too (I mean I guess so, haven't asked them)
Oh and btw, Season's Greetings everyone!

Add more than one season event. I liked when rival tech and rock pox had more than one since it adds more variety. The core stone is fun but I feel like every other season or so could use 2-4 different season events. Also allow us to up spawn chances of old season events if the season you’re playing is completed 100%. The old events hardly ever pop up and it’s lucky if you get a rival teach one. The only way to boost spawns of old events is to play that season but I personally like all of them. So having it be an even chance for all events would be super fun.

“Barrel Feed System”
Leadstorm OC
Cutting out the heavy backpack and chain system allows for an overall lighter gun that lets you move quicker and aim more consistently. However, the gun now operates on a drum-fed system, requiring a reload.
No movement penalty when firing.
Slightly increased accuracy
Magazine system holding 400 rounds per barrel, reloading takes 4 seconds.
shell fable
“Shrapnel Fragmentation”
PGL OC
Using a completely overhauled shell and explosive compound, the shells’ frontal AOE and damage is increased, along with flying in a straighter trajectory. However, the overhauled shape means that the explosive shockwave detonates in a forward cone rather than rupturing in a complete radius like a regular shell.
Increased AOE size (+1.5m) and damage (+120)
Faster flying projectile (+40% projectile velocity) that follows a shallower arc
Explosion doesn’t affect anything outside of a .5m radius around the shell, unless directly in front of the shell at a 60 degree angle. In other words, it’s only effective when blasting bugs directly in the face rather than shooting it in the middle of a crowd.

Hey, newbie here!
Anyway, I've made some rework ideas on the existing Armor Rig mods, specifically those from tier 4. All of 'em I think are pretty useless, so here's an idea on how to make them at least viable:
Armor Rig:
Rework! - Driller's Temperature Insulation: +50% Fire/Heat and Frost/Cold Resistance
Tier: 3 - A
Move 'Breathing Room' to Tier 3 - B
Rework! - Shockwave: 24-32 AoE Damage in a 5m Radius upon Shield Break
Tier: 4 - A
Rework! - Static Discharge: 100% Stun Chance in a 5m Radius upon Shield Break (No More Damage)
Tier: 4 - B
New! - Speed Demon: +50% Movement Speed upon Shield Break
Tier: 4 - C
This one is just a bonus that came to mind while making these:
Platform Gun:
New! - Bigger Platforms: +2m Wider + 1m Taller Platforms
Tier: 2 - B
strong bone
New Minigun Overclock:
Goliath Munitions
- -400 (200) max ammo
- x0.66 rate of fire
- +0.4 spinup time
- +25% heat generation
- -2 direct damage
- +75% base spread
- the intense recoil prevents you from moving fowards while firing, and pushes you backwards if you jump while firing
- rapidly fires a stream of fast projectiles instead of hitscan bullets
- projectiles are explosive-tipped, and deal 11 explosive damage in a 0.4m radius
- the pushing recoil can be used to dampen falls or extend jumps

Increase accuracy of autocannon mortar rounds. Shooting 45 degrees away from where the barrel is pointing is just silly. Just decrease the magazine size if ya need to nerf it.

Rework of Warthog Minishells - Electrified Flechettes. Same downsides and extra ammo, but remove the -recoil and +mag in exchange to apply a strong electric damage over time (DoT) when 3 or more pellets connect. Also when shooting a turret allow the turret to shoot electrified shots (like Bosco) for 30 seconds. This helps alleviate the large damage downside by applying an electric DoT instead and a slow instead of a stun, improving ammo economy at the expensive of stopping power and improve turret whipping which is a large (misguided) part of why people like to take this. Also would pair nice with T5A Shard.
Rework of Lok-1 Eraser into a balanced OC. Ignoring that base Lok-1 probably needs a buff, but keep +mag, but instead of 1.33x max targets, have each unique target locked onto provide a damage boost while making it have a longer reload or something. This would play into all of the Lok-1s mod tree; speed of locks for DPS, more locks for better ammo economy and potential damage, Smrt Targeting would help achieve the higher damage boost, but youd have to forgo the extra damage of electro chemical rounds. Since you always want as many locks as possible it’d work into T5B Unstable Lock Mechanism but also shooting lots of targets is nice spreading electricity to slow anything oncoming. Should be great for build variety and plays into what makes the Lok-1 such a unique fun gun. Obviously Explosive Chemical Rounds would be far better, but I don’t think Eraser should be as good, as ECR is too strong.

Initial kinetic AOE damage is replaced by Electric element damage.

“Snakeshot”
Bulldog OC
Hey, R&D didn’t make these and management certainly didn’t approve them. How did you get your hands on these? Regardless of their origin, they act similarly to the shells found in the Boomstick and the Warthog. 6 pellets that individually do significantly less damage than one bullet but a greater combined damage should your aim stay true. The extra charge needed means a greater kickback and makes it a little harder to recover your aim though.
Full bullets are replaced by shotgun-esque ones. (6 pellets that do 13 damage each. Each pellet is treated as their own individual bullet, so each blowthrough instance can happen up to 3 times with each pellet.)
More recoil
Slower spread recovery
Crosshair is replaced by the one pattern comparable to Boomstick’s with Shaped Shells, just smaller. The edges bloom outward with each shot to indicate an increasing spread before returning to normal after a few moments if not firing.
Casings are black and have a golden snake on them.

M1000 Overclock: Bolt Action
Pros:
Weakpoint Damage increase.
Fires full 'clip' per shot.
Click-fire instead of hole/release.
Louder
Cons:
Requires reload after every shot.
Instant 'charge' of the shot removes ability to 'hipfire'
Longer reload time. (Pressure to pick the reloading speed after kill mod)
High risk, high reward unstable overclock. Devastating for the 'quickscoper' who can land their shots while those who miss are left fumbling about with the reloads. Less ammo efficient than supercooling chamber due to lack of hipfire option but provides potential for back-to-back headshot chaining with quick reloads keeping the momentum going.

lead storm overclock: Gatling Conversion
- holding r allows the minigun to be placed like a turret, or calls it back to you if its already placed
- once the minigun is built, any dwarf can mount it and 'start blasting'
- while placed: ammo consumption is halved, accuracy is increased
- can still be fired from the hip (as it can usually)
- reduced accuracy when hipfiring
- placed miniguns will not fire autonomously
- cannot be mounted by other dwarves if the gunner who placed it is nearby (just to prevent other dwarves from 'stealing' it from the gunner, either by malice or by accident)
not sure if this would be too similar to leadstorm, but i thought the general idea of it was too nice to not mention here

+bullets explode violently enough to physically launch glyphids and dwarves alike
+launched glyphids are subject to fall damage

I know the chances of DRG devs adding new weapons are very slim, but it doesn't hurt to dream!
Driller - Tesla/Arc Cannon:
A heavy weapon that would fire high voltage bolts that would arc or bounce consecutively to each enemy after. I think it fits his elementary arsenal and his main combat role, crowd control.
Engineer - Nail Gun:
A weapon that would fire fast-traveling nails that could pierce through enemies with ease. A precision weapon that awards you when hitting those perfectly lined up shots.
Gunner - Huge Shotgun:
Another heavy weapon, this is just a Warthog... but BIGGER!!! Firing automatic buckshot suppressive fire against anything that would dare to even get close to you! A CQB option to quickly dispatch close enemies.

“Pile Driver”
Thunderhead OC
Repurposing a model used for deep-space construction, R&D have converted your gun into an accurate and devastating metal slinger. Instead of firing explosive shells, it fires long rods of hardened steel with such high kinetic energy that they tear straight through the wildlife of Hoxxes. Additionally, because of the fine tuned explosive charge, they land perfectly in terrain to act as little balance beams for whatever purpose you may need them for. However, despite the massive increase in damage, the violent nature of the projectile means that weakpoints don’t do much of anything anymore, and the lack of an explosive charge means they obviously don’t detonate on impact. To prevent the gun from completely overheating and melting, the maximum rate of fire had to be toned down as well.
“Rebar Drivers” (Massive direct damage increase (+52), with better accuracy (50%) and 3 blowthroughs. Fast moving, visually long projectiles that look like metal rods.)
No AOE or weakpoint bonus
Slower top ROF
Less ammo (-40%)
Fired projectiles that impact terrain before they pierce 3 enemies stick into the ground act as thin balancing rods for scaling obstacles. They can be destroyed with one pickaxe swing.
Fired projectiles that do pierce 3 enemies stick into the final enemy similar to how arrows stick into the Minecraft player’s character model. This does nothing except look cool, and they disappear with the bug’s ragdoll model being removed.

Quickdraw
Boltshark balanced overclock
The crossbow is equipped with a high powered mechanical lever. if the lever is set, it will automatically draw the string after firing. This allows shooting two bolts in quick succession, but resetting the lever takes a long time.
Quickdraw: If the lever is set, reduce reload time by 0.8
If the lever is not set, increase reload time by 0.8
If the lever is set: After firing, the lever pulls back the string immediately with a satisfying clang, and a bolt is loaded very quickly.
After firing two bolts, the lever has to be pushed forward, then the regular reload animation is played. Setting the lever is a separate action, so disrupting the reload after its set will keep the lever set, and only a bolt needs to be loaded

I have an incredibly silly suggestion. everyone knows about the mineral trade system, and the little bar at the top that displays stock market news, and the voice line "i wonder if i could get rich just trading minerals, would miss the excitement of spelunking though." my proposal is to turn the mineral trade network into a live stock market for the players. you could do this by making it so the game tracks the total amount of a mineral that exists in everyone's inventory's, and having a public domain of minerals. if someone sells minerals they get added to the public domain, and if someone buys minerals they get removed from the public domain. to simulate how a stock market works, more minerals in the public domain means lower prices, the game could use a formula, 1, divided by, 1 minus amount of minerals in the public domain divided by total amount of minerals. this would get you a factor of 1.something which could get multiplied with the prices for buying and selling minerals, buying being 150 and selling being 50. this would make it so the price dynamically changes with the amount of minerals being bought or sold, and the daily deals would have an effect too. i think this is really fun, and would add some more world building to deeprock, and give a little more community interaction. thank you for reading.

"Meaty" Miner's Manual
{ Not sure if anyone's suggested this before but there's several gaps / opportunities that could be fleshed out in the Miner's Manual }
-
It's not much a big thing but a
Floratype category next toBestiarywould be neat to have; just a sentence or two on the more interesting, strictly-flora species on Hoxxes IV (at least the ones that employees would describe as flora, and those that are relatively passive rather than actively attempting to eviscerate our employees.) -
The second is
Secondary Objectivesin theMissionstab. I know they're all pretty self-explanatory but in the same vein, a brief blurb on each and what you'll need to do would help round it out. It would also be cool to have, say, R&D's speculation as to the fossils we're collecting or what in the exact hell we're using Dystrum for. That overall sort of thing would be appreciated, just a touch of fluff to round it all out. -
A
MineralsorResourcescategory about what we're mining, pumping, chunking, dumping, and sending back up to orbit. A common thread of these is that, despite us miners not being paid to ask why, it would still be reassuring to know why in a quite general sense. -
Short blurbs at the end of each
Missionsentry that similarly explain, in general terms, why each mission type is profitable and deployed by Deep Rock Galactic. Nothing specific, nothing contradictory, but it would nonetheless be interesting to know why we're doing what we're doing in the way that we're doing it. Some mission types, like Salvage and Elimination, are very self-explanatory in their benefits to the company; perhaps rather than the why, we get the other why. Cursory cost-benefit analysis, loss in production efficiency, some other corpojargon of the sort. Much like the rest of these, it would only take a couple sentences of lore for each to help flesh out both the procedures and the details while reading the Miner's Manual. Quite frankly, it would just be cool to know what a full rocket of Liquid Morkite sells for at retail on the galactic market. Bits like that that serve to fill out the lore without detracting from what's been previously established, and I'm a glutton for useless-but-cool details. One would wager many others in this community are as well. -
A section for class and weapon descriptions. Very brief like all of the above, copy-paste as many segments from the equipment screen descriptions as needed to keep it simple and straightforward. It would just be nice to be able to access all available information entirely ingame and through a single menu. An
Overclocksmenu (or subsection for each weapon) may also potentially be helpful, though overclocks specifically seem best served as-is currently.
Perhaps consider the above as an investment in longest-term longevity; if the game includes a functionally-complete encyclopedia built in, it'll serve to outlast any wiki or forum post describing it. I've never once doubted GSG's commitment to long-term support for a single second, but every game has its eventual limit. An overall, 'endgame' goal should most definitely be 'infinite' playability after the final season and support ends. Fleshing out the MM would be a phenomenal contribution to that end.
R&D's Miner Satisfaction Division has come to the conclusion that the above, if implemented, could potentially result in a considerable increase to long-term employee retention, derived from an additional increase of 16% to employee survivability and 1.4% to employment satisfaction, respectively.
(Also, IIRC there used to be the Radioactive Exclusion Zone sniffers / breathers and a couple others in the Bestiary category that aren't listed anymore. The Flora category would perhaps be a good place to include that sort of thing once more, unless I'm really missing something in the menus and it's here but I can't find it.)

Maybe a way to diffuse an exploder during escort missions. When there's a swarm of them, popping a headshot on each individual one isn't really a viable option at high haz. Sure, the dwarves can run away but there's not much that can be done when it has its face buried against the drilldozer. Maybe a damage threshhold where you pre-emptively pop it before the reaction taking place inside the bug has time to fully react.

Missions with an odd switchup where the environmental threats are ramped up instead of the bugs is another idea.
More stabber vines, more falling ice shards, near constant sandstorms and bees, maybe some magma gel similar to the slime that slows ya down but burns also.
Sure, the bugs are an issue but making a team ration out its equipment to traverse through everything can be a greater emphasis on these missions. Also good exploration fun with the rare anti-gravity wells and such that seem to have disappeared.

“Erroneous Prism”
PGL OC
Due to the massive surplus of so-called “Error Cubes”, R&D decided to put them to use: Ammunition! Using the high energy catalyst inside of the blocks mixed with a large jolt of electricity and a heavy impact, firing the cubes out of the PGL creates a square field of enclosed high reactivity goodness that melts anything inside of it! It lingers for a few seconds at maximum concentration before fading away as the energy discharges into the surrounding air. However, because of the heft of the cubes, you can’t carry as many rounds, and nearly all of your area damage comes from the containment field rather than the initial explosion.
“Prismatic Residue” (Projectiles leave behind a large square area of slowing plasma. It does full damage for a few seconds before DPS slowly decreases over an additional few seconds. Area size of the plasma is affected by radius mods, but damage is not. Unaffected by the heat mod.)
Slightly larger AOE (+.5)
Less ammo (-3)
Near-zero AOE damage (-95%)
Costs 1 error cube to forge.
As plasma damage decreases, the density of the plasma cloud also decreases to accurately represent how much it’s doing. Additionally, the slowing factor decreases alongside damage, starting at an initial 70% slow.

Large Ammo Supply Increase

Turret Prioritizes Locked-On enemies and deals increased damage to them.
Turrets auto-assemble after 5 seconds when called to secondary location but not during initial deployment.
The idea is this OC is used to fine-tune the turret AI using the rifle. With the rifle handling some of the processing, the turret is able to perform at an elevated level, becoming able to more quickly dispatch bugs.

It would be a pretty rare cluster spawn in swarms, possibly only appearing in specific mutators like IE exploder infestation, and you'd only net around 10-15 gold per explosion if you mined it all, but it would be a fun thing to see 5-10 of them appear during a swarm every once in a while without disrupting the gold and credit economy much (you'd get more gold by just picking a gold rush mission instead so it isn't like it would be the best way of farming credits anyway), and would give some interesting lore regarding crassus detonators

Special Beer idea:
Allows you to see exact enemy health and heat values besides their bar.
The main idea with this is, not so much about the boon itself, but about how much easier it'll make trying to memorize everything during missions!
Even just having the one mission on occasion where you can see "Grunts have 108 hp, this praet now has 900hp, macteras freeze at this point, and this nemesis has just... this much cooling" will make it infinitely easier on players because they'll be seeing the health and thermal values infinitely more often (compared to the once a month MAX most players check the wiki)
And it also lets them see the health scale based on player count, maybe in real(ish) time if a player joins mid round!

Warthog buff idea, as it's generally agreed upon to be the worst engineer primary by a large margin, even with its best overclocks.
Base stat changes:
- -10% base pellet spread
- +1 pellet per shot
- +1 damage per pellet
- innate 10% weak point bonus (to slightly increase consistency and to let newer players know you're supposed to be aiming for weak points)
Along with increasing effective range, and therefore ease of use by a marginal amount, assuming you're at close enough range to hit most, if not all pellets, and playing hazard 4-5 with no TE2 common scaling (108 hp grunts, 177.6 hp slashers, and 324 hp guards), this would make it deal:
-
at base: 72 damage per shot (158.4 to a 2x weak point), able to:
- consistently kill grunts in 1 headshot
- consistently kill slashers in 1 headshot and 1 body shot
- kill guards in 2 headshot and 1 body shot
-
with t4 bigger pellets and t2 loaded shells: 99 damage per shot (217.8 to a 2x weak point), able to:
- easily and consistently kill grunts in 1 headshot
- kill a slasher in 1 headshot
- kill guards in 2 headshots
-
to counteract this buff's major increase to total damage, the base ammo of the warthog will be decreased by 10, from 90 to 80 reserve shots, however the more consistent killing potential will cause less follow-up shots on common enemies, which will result in less wasted ammo
Pump Action overclock counter-balancing to keep it at relatively the same power level as it's the best overclock currently on it by far:
- pellet increase will be reduced from +2 to +1 (will still deal 13 or 14 more total damage per shot than current pump action not including weak point bonuses)

It can be used to grapple onto terrain, or enemies, stunning them in the process. All you have to do is hold down the trigger to use. If necessary it can be made so that grapple bolts that didn't hit an enemy can't be retrieved.

New mission anomaly: Nitra Gluttony
Nitra ore doesn't spawn but somewhere in the caves hides a massive fatahh loot bug that ate all the nitra, killing it gives a ton of nitra (possibly too much nitra)

Support Weapons
You can select one of your primary weapons in the loadout screen, that will function like a support weapon from HD2.
You can then call it while on a mission, similar to a resupply pod, but less costly.

Support weapons could work in situations where you are out of ammo, but don't have enough nitra for a full resupply.

Apparently a scout can just zipline off it and leave everyone else trapped on the death tunnel descent while they go off to crack open a corestone and unleash never-ending waves of crawlers after them with no recourse. Alternatively, require crawlers to stay within a certain distance of the corestone if there isn't a limit already.

Overclocks made from the Rubik's cube that do insane stuff. Like a random ammo overclock for the pgl, Everytime you fire it chooses between a few random projectiles.

And in case we get a supporter 3 upgrade pack and have to upgrade the Leaf Lover next, let us swap it out with a Pina Colada and add a line about mixing it with Pineapple Juice. Not just the one with thin with water.
If we ever get flare upgrades, it should work like picking different grenade options instead. Default flares, sticky flares, and brighter but shorter flares for missions without a Scout.

Support weapon overclocks. Like the support weapons could be so diverse if it had overclocks. Usually everyone runs the same exact build on the support tool. Possible ideas 1: loose winch for grappling hook instead of pulling you straight to where you aim it instead tethers and let's you swing (still pulls a bit to maintain balance) 2: solar flares they function similar to normal flares but apply heat to anything in the light including dwarfs( huge reduction in ammo also). 3 laser turret the turret instead of using bullets shoots out a beam similar to the shard diffractor but a little weaker. Burns through ammo extremely fast so it would have to be used strategically to keep engie from eating all the resupply 4:blast drills instead of the drills digging they make a huge blast to mine on a short cooldown blast is roughly fatboy sized and deals 25 damage to dwarfs. Idk I just think stuff like that would be cool it would give even more build variety and risk reward to the game which would be awesome
graceful hinge
It would be cool if there was brittle stone in ossuary depths that would cause a chain reaction, destroying the whole vein when part of it is mined or shot excessively. Especially if generated above pits, this would be an interesting hazard that would encourage careful gameplay and could even be used strategically to cut off enemies or act as a temporary platform (also satisfying).
Being able to shoot the ceiling and making rocks/stalactites fall would also be interesting.

**New mechanics : Ammo Adjustments. **You can access it via the weapon's upgrade screen, and it will be as a separate window. For the Credits, or some minerals, the player can select one of the many types of ammunitions adjustments. It can mostly contain small damage bonuses (5-15%) to the certain enemies, from the same family like the Macteras. The player can only equip one modification for their ammo. The other ideas for the bullet/ammo adjustement could also offer stuff like smaller heat per bullet to reduce the overheating in certain weapons, (10-25%) more damage for the enemies with specific status like a fire, electrocution, e.t.c (Just like in some already present upgrades for some weapons), bullets with more armor piercing capabilities (33-50%), bullet that could be coated with some substance that would increase damage bonuses to weak points (5-10%) and perhaps some other small enchances or unique benefits that could be added at the developer's discretion. It's quite similar to the Oil mechanics in Wither 3. The player can equip them for the single time, or he could use them all the time, but after every mission it must be replenished with credits & minerals. Here's some of my personal ideas for those various adjustments : Bullets lubricated with a substance harmful to Macteras (+10% more damage for every mactera type | cost 2000 credits / 10 croppa) , Bullets lubricated with a substance harmful to Naedocyte (+10-20% more DMG for Naedocytes | cost 1250 credits / 20 enor pearl / 10 Jadiz) , Bullets lubricated with a substance harmful to Lithopage (+10-25% more DMG for the rockpox enemy | Cost 3500 credits / 30 Magnite / 25 Umanite) , Bullets lubricated with a substance harmful to Deeptoras (+10-20% more DMG for Deeptora family enemy | cost 2500 credits / 40 bismore / 30 Enor pearl) , Bullets lubricated with a substance with universal harm (5-7.5% to all enemy or 10-15% if for enemies from category 'Others' | 5000 Credits / 50 Umanite)

Show shields alongside health for teammates. Your health refers to what 20%? If you're bad at the game and you're at 20% most of the game, your teammates can't really know if you're in trouble or not because your health isn't going down.

Alot of roguelikes tend to give you those random trinkets or perks every time you die and that particular aspect of progression where u find something new and random feels missing.
3: something aside from collecting expenite? I like the variety of events, they are fine, but I feel like there should be something your doing aside from that like collecting plant samples or trinkets. This game has a lot of cool set pieces that feel like they should have more than just armour.

add an option in the weapons menu to straighten out the zhukov mags.
"Wrong Tank Syndrome" is when you know something well enough to know that it, either wouldn't be practical, or wouldn't work at all. given the size of the bullet casings, the angle of the magazines, and the rate at which the guns fire making it impossible for it to work logically, the zhukovs trigger this. you might just say that you have to suspend your disbelief in a game like DRG, and everybody does, but it's hard to do that when you've got this issue so, straightening out the mags for the zhukovs would fit perfectly. and since it'd be optional, you wouldn't have to worry about people being unhappy with the other version being gone. plus, it's just a button that changes the rotation of the mags, that's all.

Since we're getting the new mission type of digging out a giant amber thing and attaching rockets to it, I wondered how they were gonna have enough fuel to get to orbit.
So why not have that as a secondary objective?
Amber transport refuel. Somewhere in the cave there's a slightly buried giant amber with thrusters already on it. A team had already extracted it a few kilometers below you but due to the company not investing in good equipment fuel density being a design challenge, it had to take a pit stop in another cave. The tunnel it dug to get into said cave has been filled in due to Hoxxes' tectonics being odd as hell. You dig out a bit of dirt around the bottom of the amber and call in refuel pods, get the rocket laser things fully fueled, and you're done.
Instead of being just a scout zipping around the cave for five minutes collecting things the most efficient way to do this secondary would be the whole team digging it out with their picks, and nothing is more dwarven than digging with your buds.

give the scout an obrez. or the TH-0R Bug Taser.
the basic idea is that the scout would have a bolt action rifle, he'd cut it down, then he'd use it as a pistol. he'd have 5-10 shots, have poor accuracy and reload speed, high damage, and a moderate amount of recoil. it'd have the same firing animation as the bulldog and the reload animation would just be slapping in a new clip and cocking the gun.
i think it should be from either the M1K or something completely new.
as for the TH-0R, it'd just have one beam this time and would have electricity arc between bugs on crit, along with being semi-automatic. would that work? i just want scout to get an actual pistol that would work.

Upon returning to the drop pod, you are dropped into the next cave that has more/stronger enemies than the last cave.
Mission ends when you and your team are downed, and is not meant to be fully completed, and is meant as more of a challenge to see how far you survive.

Inspired by seeing a new player dig out a tritylite, I bring this idea:
If you've never promoted and you ping a machine event, your dwarf says some dialogue that lets the player know they gotta promote before interacting.
OMEN tower, you're lucky management is slacking on giving me my well deserved promotion!
First thing I do when I get promoted, I'm trying this pickaxe overcharger thing.
Tritylite, that'd have been a nice payday if I was promoted...
Pinging an activated core infuser without being promoted could also give dialogue.
There's BEARD ACCESSORIES in that thing and I'm not allowed to use it? This sucks!
Need blank matrix cores to use this thing, need to be promoted to get blank matrix cores. I feel like DRG is making this convoluted on purpose!
Can't use this yet, but at least completing that machine event will be a nice pay bonus.

Kind of a minor thing, the Bestiary could use a new coat of paint. For instance:
- Some of the older entries are lacking in content comapred to the newer counterparts
- Despite the Korlok and Nayaka getting categories all to themselves, the Infectors (2 iterations) are dumped into the Other category. It might make sense to dump it in a separate "Flora" category with the ScaleBramble, and the Stabber Vine but they're both consider ambiguously either or.
- Some entries have duplicate notes despite being separate entries, notably the Kursite Infected and Lootbugs. Which is also unusual, since the former should arguably have it's own category considering the Lithophage does.

A new enemy (Mutant Swallow Toad?) the size of a bulk detonator or so that carries a bunch of medium sized enemies inside it, that will be released upon it's death, along with with a bunch of mucus that slows everything in a sizeable area. The creature can only spawn a bunch of your average medium sized glyhpids that could feasibly endure being inside with many others without being immediately crushed (ie grunts, guards, acid/web spitters only, no swarmers, slashers, stalkers etc), but will also infrequently spawn 1 of such every so often if a dwarf has been nearby it. Any bug spawned by the carrier looks like it's been covered in mucus to make it easy to tell where it's coming from.
Optional quirks: The carrier creature has one or more eyes and several legs, all of which are destructible weakpoints. Destroying any of the legs will slow it down some, but destroying all of the legs can (ie not guaranteed) cause the creature to roll around instead of walking, potentially taking damage and/or losing size due to crushing the bugs inside; Lose it's grip on walls and be unable to travel on such, becoming vulnerable to fall damage due to such; Or some combination thereof.
Lore: The Swallow Toad is a relatively uncommon creature normally home to (planet), no bigger than a mug of ale and known to leap onto and then swallow animals of comparable or smaller size than itself, eventually triggering it's digestive acids once it feels sufficiently full after catching several of such. Said method of predation tends to stretch it's fairly elastic body enough to increase it's size by several times before it begins to consume it's meal(s). It's also a pleasant surprise for the avid hunter after it manages to collect so many meals in 1 catch. What not a pleasant surprise however, is how said species managed to reach Hoxxes 4, nor develop to such an astounding size or sufficient durability. Regardless instead of small game animals, our miners are the ones now at risk of being on the menu.

Glyphid breeder:
A large glyphid with an abdomen similar to that of a bulk detonator, if not larger.
It would occasionally lay a swarmer egg, giving a lore-friendly explanation for what lays the eggs.
Would be as slow as a bulk, and would be unable to attack directly, and would instead rely on these methods:
Swarmer release:
A group of swarmers would be released, similar to a brood nexus.
Goo bomb:
A glob of goo would be thrown in a random player's direction, and would deal no damage but would slow players.
Summon reinforcements: the breeder would make a screeching noise similar to those in egg hunts, and a small group of grunts would come to attack.
Upon death, it would have a similar animation to that of a bulk detonator, and a large area would become covered in goo. It would also release swarmers, similar to a brood nexus.
Appearance wise, it would have a typical glyphid head and front legs with much larger back legs.

Scout's crossbow unstable OC : Explosive Bolts
"Strong explosive charges with a contact fuse were mounted on a specially reinforced bolt, causing the small but strong exposion. Great for swarm control with their AoE damage. Unfortunately the bolt itself weights a lot more, they take up more space so you can take much less of them, their speed is noticeably slower, and the tension mechanism has been tightened to partially compensate the weight increase, and their speed decrease, forcing more force on you when inserting the bolt which also become heavier, and with its weight being uncomfortably distributed."
Your bolts are triggering an exposion that deals a big direct damage, and solid AoE damage
Faster speed of the special bolts? (-"the tension mechanism has been tightened"-)

It currently says "Ride the drilldozer with three other dwarves and get 15 kills each without leaving"
This is unclear if:
- This has to be done consecutively or not (i.e. get 15 kills in one attempt as opposed to 15 kills total)
- This requires all four dwarves to get 15 kills in order for everyone to get the achievement, or if only you have to get 15 kills whilst other dwarves are onboard.
I believe it is get 15 kills in one attempt, and only procs for one person each.

An idea to make tranquilizer rounds (unstable subata overclock) a lil more impactful:
make it an entirely separate debuff from regular stun. There are so many guns that are already either naturally come with stun or have mods to make it do so on top of slasher Steeve, engi turrets, pickaxe power attack, etc that kinda makes tranq rounds hard to get the full duration on average. If tranq had its own unique debuff it would have have better average up time and be very well for crowd control situations where terrain manipulation is used like sticky fuel or goo bomber special. Obviously use diminishing returns for hits after the initial stun as to not stun lock a single target.

Figured I'd see what people thought here, made a quick thing for the Chithon Hydra, one of 3 members of the Chithon (Ki-thun) family I came up with, and one of several custom critters I've created/concepted. "Once believed extinct when their home, the Salt Pits, dried up eons ago, reports of tentacled, shelled beasts in the caves have made something clear: the past has returned, hungry for dwarf. Wherever those creeps were hiding all this time, you don't wanna go there. I think the Chithon family overall would be more difficult, attention-intense enemies that take priority over others/have specific strategies to easily eliminate them."
Hydras are meant to be a large, rare disruptive enemy, one that you love to hate and get the joy of payback on, essentially a "melee Menace". I tried to avoid giving specific stats/details so they can be changed if the devs ever did pick up the suggestion, just that they're meant to be seen as unpredictable, mischievous and constantly mocking until you get the upper hand on them, revealing them to be the cowardly creepy-crawlies they truly are.
Also, they'd have blue blood I think, though idk how possible that is in DRG (presumably not too difficult since Mactera explode into yellow if you pop their stomachs), and I feel like their tentacles would have similar physics to those found on enemies like the Stabber Vine or the parasites, real wriggly and gross, exploding into particles when severed.
any critique or suggestions to make this enemy more enjoyable/interesting are welcome

Two new NPC just having mission control seems odd so i have a suggestion to make the station feel more lively and would give us more funny lines to interact with.
First of the doctor for the Infirmary a very angry and sarcastic female dwarf with a Scottish ascent that belittles the players especially when they fail but make her interactable with the player dwarfs flirting with her and her making fun of their attempts.
Game wise though she focuses on medical mushrooms and herbs as well as samples from the enemies after all she needs supplies to keep you clowns alive.
Second a nerdy tinkerer who talks way too much about his passions he will be a male dwarf with a Irish ascent that constantly wants to talk about his inventions to the players with the players sounding disinterested.
Game wise though he is in charge of new research and tech as a member of the R&D team he will give the players an assignment for a weekly buff to a random piece of weapon 1 for each class for that week this will encourage equipment changing.

It would be really cool if we heard some noises from a very large leviathan of a beast deep under Hoxxes in the new area, or perhaps only on the deepest of depths, like the last level of an EDD. We wouldn't even see anything, just hear it under us, and maybe our dwarf would comment on it.
This could add a slight touch of horror for the bravest of dwarves, and either become a little easter egg or a hint at content to come.
One day in a future season I'm sure we may like to see the thing responsible for these cries though, maybe something bigger than we've ever seen... is it responsible for all the bones in the Ossuary, or was something else?

DRG or Rogue Core Suggestion: Introducing Rival "Battle Droids" enemy.
It's a fairly simple idea.
The devs could possibly add in a new type of basic "battle droid" enemy into the Rival's roster, be it in DRG or Rogue Core, mainly to give them some more flavor of common enemies beyond just patrol bots, shredders and turrets.
I don't think they need to be too crazy, just a basic battle droid style enemy that has a blaster that they fire in 3 or 4 round bursts, but something that can follow players and such.
And I think that how they could go about the caves could be via fairly simple jet/hover packs that allow them to follow the players around the caves.

Old seasons should be flavoured as labour specializations, and swapping between them as putting in a request for a work transfer.
So if you swap from Rivals to Rockpox, your dwarf declares: "I'm sick of fighting robots! Sign me up for cleanup duty!"
This would give an in-universe explanation as to why you can swap between seasons, and where each season-specific threat "goes" once that season ends: it doesn't vanish, it's just being managed by other mining teams.

Bone collector mission idea
There could be a new mode with these new bone collector things where you go down, sneak up on one and tag it (kind of like how biologists tag animals) so you can find where it goes and stores the new bone mineral thing, and thus lord wise charting hoxxes of all these stashes for big $$$, you could have it be a special one {like a really big, mean, boss one) or just a few normal ones, the sky’s the limit , but in my mind here is the chronological order:
- get off drop pod
- Look for clues
- Follow clues that lead to the sleeping bug in some sort of secluded part of the cave
- Sneak up behind it with the tag (be it an item like the things that come out of the hack pod, or Molly would have from the get go)
- Place said tag but dont wake it up, if you do it burrows away and you instantly get swarmed, and you have to look for the new clues (old ones can despawn or something like that)
- Get out of the little cave section without waking it up
- Push Molly and do drop pod run
8 (optional). Give the player on the map a icon for this thing and while running away
it could be chasing the players
making all these noises and really ramping up the end (this could be a thing only for higher haz or not)

A new Hazard idea:
Particle Dense: Particulate matter in the area is denser than normal, causing guns to jam.
To fix it you just have to reload the gun. Not sure how often it should happen for balance reasons but not all that often.
In most cases the gun would just click like it was out of ammo, but it'd be slightly different for some guns, for instance; All driller primaries, as they are liquid based, they should probably sputter rather than just outright not work.

suggestions for deep dives : 1.Make heavy extraction have a chance to be a secondary objective in deep dives requiring to extract smaller resenite clusters that only need 1 rocket module(with 4 lasers) at the top(could be entieraly inside the terrain working like aquark). 2.Industrial sabotage as a secondary deep dive objective only requiring to hack some stations(without the boss). 3.Point extraction as a secondary deep dive objective where you only need to find a few aquarks and deposit them into molly. 4.Some seasonal events (probably also secondary objectives) could be moved into deep dives for even more variety.

Naedocyte burster: upon hitting the player, or being hit, it would burst like Goo Sac and create slowing goo.
Naedocyte slasher: like a grown version of the hatchling, with longer claws, dealing more damage.
I would imagine that a Naedocyte swarm would probably have a mix of these varieties, with a breeder spawning about as often as an Oppressor in a Glyphid swarm.

I like more involved warnings like low oxygen forcing you to strategise with placing resuply pods. So what about a warning called low preasure regions, whitch would cause the air to periodicly drop to unsurvivable tempeatures. Deep Rock Galactic attatced some heating modules on your armor so you dont die instantly but to dont die slowly to frostbite you would need to stay close to your teamates(if you are solo the modules woud be attaced to molly)making spliting risky because a presure drop could happen at any time

Would be really cool to see new boss /miniboss enemies, such as an Ossiran tunnel digger, a huge centipede like creature that digs tunnels and is meant to be fought in the tunnels of the Ossarian nests in close quarters combat, unlike the open spaces of other boss fights. Could pick up players, drag them deep into the tunnels to separate them, making for splendid chaos during fight gameplay. Could also block up a few entrances and passageways to create new ones to make the fight more unpredictable. Just really liked the idea and I thought it could fit in nice with the wildly awesome new stuff coming in season 6. Thoughts?

Broadly speaking, please spend an update focusing heavily on touching up and rebalancing old content. Old areas of the game that could use improvement:
- Some of the less detailed, less interesting earliest biomes could use small touchups to bring them up to feel. More cave life and bits of flora, things like lines for pointing out the passive naedocytes like you get for the Azure Weald passive bugs, etc. Biozone feels like it needs something special in particular.
- Overclocks and weapons in general, of course. A scant few weapons are starkly overshadowed by others, or have very few useable overclocks. The Zhukovs and PGL in particular need some attention IMO, and some of the GK2's overclocks such as Burst Fire--just small examples that come to mind, there are lots of places. Some balancing between the Autocannon/Hurricane could be examined. Buff Face Melter! Any content you rebalance might as well be new content if you're making something not good worth using!
- With as much content as is in the game, a page that allows us to view each loot source (like crates, helmets, etc), what we've unlocked from it, and how many things at least if not exactly what we haven't unlocked from that loot source would be constructive.
- Please add a loud 'thump' when minelayer hurricane rockets impact terrain, thank you. :) It's very sad that they make no noise.

Seeing as S6 introduces an Ossiran in an enclosure to the rig, (and adding a free-roaming Steeve is impossible) why not add a similar enclosure with a Swarmer inside?

new mission type: Nest Eradication
Bring the fight to the Glyphids by directly invading a "nest cave", absolutely packed with Glyphid eggs, nests, tunnels, rooms and more, during a rest period when most of the Glyphids are asleep. Plant explosives at strategic points in the nest, being careful to wake up as few Glyphids as possible, and then detonate them all at once, before making a mad dash for the Drop Pod with a wave of Glyphids on your tail.
(the reason you can't get super far away before detonating with basically no risk is of course because of DRG not investing in Better Equipment and thus you are stuck with a pretty short range detonator that only gives you like 50 meters range)

Just make it so bugs have to spawn a certain distance away from the exit drop pod.
Just a minor bit of feedback. Yall should fix they enemy Spawning AI for end of mission gameplay. Its seriously weird and not very fun to run back to the drop pod with epic music being chased all the way just to get there only to find bugs derpily climbing out of the metal walls of the drop pod itself, as if mission control sent as a shipment of bugs to fight, and instead of all of the enemies chasing us from further in the map and having to defend our little pod before jumping in, we have to awkwardly keep clearing the area around the pod that keeps filling up with bugs while all the enemies we left behind in our chase mysteriously just give up the chase for no reason. I've played this game for a long time, and I have a deep love for it, and that is why I say that if you fixed this and started sending in waves to attack the pod and the survivors trying to survive next to it, instead of what we have now it would make the gameplay at the end of the missions almost perfect. ^_^

Concept for a Queen Glyphid boss, she would be stationary like the Caretaker covered in thick armor asleep at the start of a mission, drawves would have to find nests to blow up around the map which would anger the Queen causing her to drop her armor. The fight would be in segments simalar to the Caretaker as well with new attacks being added after each phase. These attacks could be as follows..
- The Queen spawns 3-5 eggs which gradually turn from red to pink spawning Swarmers > Grunts > Wardens based on the color and time left alive
1a. During this attack the Queens back would become a weakpoint making Dwarves choose between the eggs, her or splitting up to do both - The Queen shoots a spike into the ground which acts as a obstacle and when approached would deal AoE damage similar to a Dreadnaughts slam
2a. This spike could also be broken similar to a radiation crystal at the cost of getting 1-2 shockwaves off, unless broken by drills - When a player gets too close to the Queen she would spin around dealing damage and throwing Dwarves back at a high speed
3a. Dwarves can use this to randomize the direction to a more favorable direction if in dire need - The Queen spawns "Rooks" which act similar to the Hiveguards Reinforcements although heavily armored except their back
Every 3rd of the health taken from the Queen would make her rearmor herself and spawn a normal swarm along with rooks(4) after they are defeated a new attack from the list is added at random and she is vulnerable again.
(Sorry for the paragraphs I think a new boss more organic than the Caretaker is a cool idea)

"Miners, our work in the Depths seems to have awoken something long since buried within Hoxxes. an ancient race of bugs able to stand dormant like statues have begun to appear across the caves, and R&D are very interested in getting their hands on their remains. Find these terracotta warriors and blast them to bits, and bring the samples back up to us."
Tecilites are a new faction of enemies, stationary and inert until disturbed, at which point their incredibly durable bodies lurch towards foes, their jade-colored insides warping their breath into a ghoulish green hue. Every Tecilite has an abdomen that is weak to being cracked open for damage, like that of a Dreadnought, but they also spawn with a randomly-placed "crack" on their body, which can be shot to expose their otherworldly flesh to open air, enabling an additional point to damage them.
Tecilite Conscripts are the smallest and weakest of the bunch, able to do little beyond inconveniencing their foes with gnashing bites and tough armor plating. They can be smashed to bits with relative ease, but can easily overwhelm those who underestimate them.
Tecilite Conquerors are far larger and are much more dangerous, able to attack with a small jet of ghoulish green fire in addition to melee attacks. Take them out quickly, and prioritize eliminating them whenever possible.
Tecilite Coroners are the largest of the Tecilite swarm, draconic in their size and disposition. They lead the Tecilite armies with thundering screams and a mastery of ghoulish-green firey breath. So powerful and spirited are these creatures, that even upon death, their heart still beats with such intensity that holding it in your hands burns the skin as if stepping on hot rock.
The objective is simple. If you encounter these warriors slumbering down in the caves, try not to wake them up. and if you do, make sure you kill the Coroner at the very least, R&D wants those hearts for study.
Though they typically only appear within their setpiece alongside their Coroner leaders, the Necropolis warning causes small packs of Conscripts and Conquerors to spawn throughout the cave system, as well as sprinkling a small number of them into any swarms you may encounter. "Tread carefully, for old things have begun to rise in this cave."
some sample voicelines from MC if the Tecilites are disturbed:
"Oh, team. looks like you've disturbed a sleeping swarm of Tecilites. if you survive, collect the Coroner's heart if possible. R&D has been begging for samples of these critters."
"Alright team, for no reason in particular, I wish to remind you that R&D have been after the heart of a nasty beast called The Coroner. if you find one, if, kill it and deposit its heart. No pressure."

Something that i think would be cool would be to have an upgrade station for Doretta.
Beacons/lights: Doretta would have either search lights or lights similar to Point Extraction missions, allowing for constant light provided by her rather than the player. Search lights would allow the player/s to ping a certain spot and Doretta would aim the lights wherever the ping is (you can hold the ping button to have more lights on one spot and there would be little light icons to show how many SL you have on your ping). PE lights would provide overall light but would not be able to use the ping function.
Turrets: Doretta would be able to equip various turrets (up to four max) that would function similarly to how they work in DRG Survivor (but they would all be stationary on Doretta). The turrets would be flamethrower, freeze ray (think of the driller's gun), acid gun (more like the acid turrets in Survivor) and regular turrets. Flamethrowers would have piercing, ice would slow (slow movement and attack speed of enemies, but not freeze them), acid would break armor, and regular bullets would allow for weak point damage. The turrets could also, rather than have a limited ammo pool like PE, could instead have something similar to an "overheat" mechanic where each gun temporarily goes down after constant use. The flamethrower barrel would be warped from the fire, the ice gun could be frozen over and require being thawed out, the acid gun would be melted off somewhat and need to be quickly repaired, and the regular turret could have too many bullets jamming the barrel. All of these (by choice of the devs) could either be repaired by automatic systems aboard Doretta or be repaired by the player (the turrets wouldn't be able to be targeted or destroyed, essentially being an Engi turret with more functionality).
Part two will be posted after the timer is done as i couldn't fit everything in one text
Added armor: Doretta would have roughly 2-3 times as much health as usual at the cost of slower speed and having to stop to refuel more often. But if you play well enough, I'm sure it'd help greatly when reaching the Ommoran Heartstone.
Difficulty/scaling reworks: The mission gets a change on hazard difficulty that is dependent on player count, you'd only be allowed to have a certain number of these upgrades (ie one player on haz 2 would only be able to pick one of the three options, turret count would also be limited as Management wouldn't want you using unnecessary resources for such an easy mission). Enemy spawn rates would also increase as the bugs don't like all increased noise and bright lights Doretta would be bringing into the caves.

Patrol Robots are currently far too difficult to freeze and extremely unrewarding to do so, and therefore need to be at least moderately easier to freeze and have a much more worthwhile benefit from freezing such, both for the slowdown and for reaching the freeze temp, be it dying instantly like all other flying enemies do, or having the duration they take 3x damage last far longer due to a much greater difference between their freeze and unfreeze temp.
Patrol Robots have higher freeze threshold than even Oppressors, as well as a much smaller hitbox and greater mobility, plus minimal slowdown from being chilled. And despite the high difficulty of successfully freezing a Patrol Robot, the payout doesn't even remotely match the effort because they take 3x damage for such a short duration that players can't even take advantage of, instead of dying instantly like other flying creatures do when frozen. In comparison, even Q'ronar have a larger hitbox, are slowed down noticeably more by sufficient freezing, and have a solid window of time they spend being affected by the frozen damage vulnerability.

After claiming all the perks, allow players to level up their alcohol tolerance, allowing players to drink a Blackout and only just start stumbling.
Seeing as (i think) the game processes drunk-ness as each beer adds a certain % to intoxication, every 2-3 perk points could add 1% to the 100% cap, with no real maximum.

In a similar vein, have extra perk points be able to be put towards some aesthetic or cosmetic thing, like decorations for the pod, or being able to turn on decorations for events not in progress (e.g. Oktoberfest in summer)

Coilgun balanced OC: Curveball
while aiming at a creature, holding the R key will highlight it for 6 seconds, causing the ball to curve towards it as long as you are looking in its direction while fired. (This sounds a little confusing, but in theory the ball traviling in a curved line rather than a straight away depending on if you weren't looking directly at your highlighted target would hit more bugs in a swarm)
Upon hitting a highlighted target with a fully charged shot, the ball explodes dealing high direct damage and leaves behind a 3.5 meter sphere of trail (properties such as duration are based on weapon mods)
Mod tree trail effects (example being longer duration or fear trail) do not apply to the projectiles trail, only the 3.5 meter sphere upon hitting a highlighted creature with a fully charged shot
While charging speed remains the same, window of maximum charge and overcharging is drastically shortened. (Basically think of it as the Heat Pipe penalty on EPC)

what if there was some sort of gas weapon, that covers the cave in gas. my idea is that it can deal with huge hordes and large enemies, it would also be able to get lit on fire at the expense of time that it lingers for. the issue with it would be that it can also suffoctate your fellow dwarves. there should be a special mod for it that gives you resistance to it, but not immunity. maybe this could be an overclock for the sludge pump, or another weapon for driller, or something just new.
