Hey! I had a suggestion for you guy's new game. So far I've really enjoyed this game, it is unique and I love the style! However, it does seem to get a little repetitive doing the same mining missions. I see a solution for that though. Maybe there could be more modes for players to use more than just mining? This game seems to be built around mining, but maybe there could be a playground mode for players to check out the mechanics and hangout with friends. There could also be mini-missions where a player is tasked with small challenges to complete while in the mines. I was just thinking maybe a few things could be added to give us a little more exploration to do in this game. Overall though this game is pretty awesome!

Three words
More alien gore
Maybe improve it a bit. Add leg dismemberment, have some low poly chunks missing from them or some shit one they get shot at
Maybe more blood?
bold sleet
A new enemy that disguises itself as a mineral, before hiding and waiting for his favorite snack: Dwarven miners who think they're about to mine some Croppa or Nitra, but are actually about to be pounced and eaten up by it. Yu,!
crimson ingot
Oh hey that would be quite neat, maybe theyre kind of crablike and burrow into walls and floors but for their mineral encrusted shell
silent karma
Maybe be extra evil and make it use Red Sugar as a Bait? ;)
bold sleet
OH THAT'S GOOD
silent karma
I think the biggest problem with stealth type enemies might be the ability to mark them anyways. And making it so someone almost always has to have the marker out... meh
static crystal
If you wanted to make a stealth type enemy, invisibility is the wrong way to go. Its stealth aspect should be based on movement and positioning.
silent karma
Its not about invisibility. But more the hiding in plain sight aspect that a stealth enemy should utilize in this game i think.
Speaking of which: Make the red sugar thing explode when you try to mine it. Or what if the red sugar tip is its Maw and you are then stuck to the wall while it chomps you to pieces
limber lichen
shouldn't look like the one thing in the game you'd actually want to hit in an emergency
the point of playing at developer is not to flip the player the bird
silent karma
Or: Its a snake like enemy,the red sugar is its tail and somewhere closeby you might be able to say some part of its body protruding from the ground or walls. So when you approach the red sugar it slowly moves towards you with its head and then grabs you.
If you mark the red sugar on the tail the dwarf might call something like: "Its a trap! But it looks so delicious/tempting~"
@limber lichen it would be a rare eneny or perhaps limited to crystaline caverns
wraith grail
While I love biome-specific enemies, I don't know if the game needs mimics. If anything, it should use precious minerals (like lootbugs and now hoarders), where the dilemma becomes risk/reward as opposed to death/not death. Making the red sugar the lure might disincentivize players from taking red sugar because it might kill them instead of heal them (the assumption being that players only need red sugar at low health, and are also easier to kill at low health).
But, if you had a bug that was covered in say, gold, and it stays asleep unless you agitate it, that becomes a case of risk/reward with a decent payout. Like a golden lootbug but evil.
But I'll be a fan of just about anything the devs add that plays into a biome's specific nature. Like the radioactive bugs in the exclusion zone.
prime nimbus
A cuddly toy loot bug. I suggest one is made and purchasable.
I also think the driller should get fewer throwing axes (2 or 3 max) and be able to retrieve then out of enemies. Mordhau might have influenced that one.
silent karma
While that is a nice idea, i dont think what we need is gunners and drillers effectively kiting everything. That could almost make them unkillable.
@xx there would certainly be some way to tell them apart. Like maybe the mimics sugar glow pulsates with its heartbeat. And i said it grabs you,i didnt say it outright kills you. But being a developer is about makong the game challenging while not making it impossibly hard. I always look at drg and think: what horrors await me today? I want the game or rather the bugs to give me a run for my money
Could also always make it Haz3+ or Haz4+
crimson ingot
Could have there be a slight tell, perhaps there's a faint snoring rumble or the crystals rise and fall gently with its breathing, so if youre observant you can always catch it, but it will probably catch you off guard occasionally
wraith grail
I suppose I just like the idea of an (optional) boss-tier monster you get loot from - particularly if it was special resource loot. Or gold. Can never go wrong with more gold.
near glacier
I have an idea for a new hazard mutator: Flashlights don't work so you have to rely on flares or scout.
amber lodge
Or a semi-passive enemy that rushes to light sources and seeks to smother them, since they feed on light.
worldly nexus
That eats flares yeah
gilded lotus
I'm sure this has been suggested before and if not im shocked. I dont know how long ago it was when the ace of spades hat was implemented in memory of lemmy. Can we get the facial hair and a nice stack of hair in memory of Bob Ross. With the caption of something like "we dont make mistakes, just happy accidents"

New upgrade for gunner's zipline by timaasdasd posted this at May 27, 2019 at 02:53PM : https://trello.com/c/jn7Z8pkt
oblique elk
Regarding the class icons, it would be better to have unique symbols for the different classes rather than a default portrait, since you can customize the appearance of your character, they will not match the icons. Maybe a drill for the driller, a wrench for the engineer, a minigun for the gunner and some sort of flashlight or lantern for the scout? :)
dusty cypress
yeah, it would be great if when you use your laser pointer it had a little icon above the outlines of your comrades because i can never tell who is what class so if i need the engi or driller to do some specific task it'd be nice to know if they were nearby. it's not helpful to ask for platforms to be put up if the engi is on the other side of the map.

davs.. og tak for et fedt spil.. har 518 timer clokt pt.. jeg har en forespørsel.. kunde i ikke lave sådan at det kun var dem der hostede spillet, der kunde kalde på proppotten. det er mega ireterne når folk joner lige inden man er ferdig og man gerne vil havde det hele med, at de så kalder droppotten inden man er helt færdig. bare fordi de ønsker hurtig XP. det ville godt nok fjerne mange sure ærevlser for mig. om i så laved det sådan det var noget man slog til eller fra det betød ingen ting.... pliccccccccc og tak

davs .. and thanks for a great game .. has 518 hours clockwise .. i have a request .. could not do so so that only those who hosted the game could call on the plug. it is the mega iret when people ion just before they are done and you want it all because they then call the drip before you are completely finished. just because they want fast XP. It would probably remove many sour eulogies for me. if i so laved it like it was something you hit or from it meant nothing ... pliccccccccc and thanks

What if there was a drink from the bar or possibly for another class that highlighted nodes of minerals that you could mine. Sort like the Spelunker Potion from Terraria
limber lichen
drink that makes fossils glow like the sun plox
amber lodge
That's what bosco is for.
boreal cairn
This is probably for further down the line since it's not really a gameplay thing, but I think it would be really neat if any upgrades made to weapons would result in minor cosmetic changes to the weapon in question. For example, clip upgrades could result in longer/larger clip sizes which in turn could result in a change in reload animation or reload speed could have two clips tied together for quick loading. Changes in bullet damage could mean a change in the muzzle flash, the ejected spent cartridges or even a change in material for the gun barrel and/or ejector port to signify an upgade in materials to handle the greater stresses and heat the weapon is subjected to. The weapons are already delightfully detailed as-is, but I think cosmetic differences could lead to a difference in gameplay as well when players use weapon upgrades different than the most "optimal choice" in favor of a sweater looking weapon (since it's something the player using it will be able to see rather than other players in terms of beard/mustaches/hats)
near glacier
Better voice actors that actually sound like middle aged (or older) pissed off scotsmen
boreal cairn
Also something else might be interesting would be to add arrows/triangles on the Drop Pod at 90/120 degree angles, so during high stress situations (i.e. little time left and the pod landed in an enclosed area that has to be dug around to extract) they'll show the shortest route to the pod doors, or in the case of sign being on the opposite side of the Drop Pod showing a diamond or a circle indicating the extraction side is on the opposite end
worldly nexus
like on the top of right of the hud?
boreal cairn
I was thinking more on the Drop Pod itself since in that situation the attention is drawn to the center of the screen rather than the perimeter
It's more of an observation of a recent match I saw where the team was scrambling on the last few seconds of extraction and couldn't figure out where the pod doors were in the panic
worldly nexus
oh just arrows that points to the door? on the drop pod textures?
boreal cairn
Yeah!
Pretty sure I've played a game that's used a similar feature before, but cannot for the life of me remember what game it was
Kind of like how a box sometimes has a "This Side Up" on it
I know cars use it next to the fuel gauge to show you which side of the car the fuel cover is located

Low gravity space moons to dig on the surface off? like galactic XD rock... that is deep in the surface (I just want to see some light, i've been down here for days)

I'd love to have more music (DLC even?) on the jukebox but also.. on MOLLE ! To be able to take the music with us into the tunnels (even if it means it attracts more bugs..). Me and my fellow regular miners love to hammer the V button whenever possible, so more (again.. I'm okay with DLC for this) voice emotes would be absolutely lovely after release.
having tunes on the mule could also have a neat doppler effect as it moves through the tunnels haha
tidal pond
let us in mission control... WHAT SECRET COULD POSSIBLY BE soooo bad.. not to let us EXPIERENCED! miners in
bold sleet
Mission Control's doing yoga?
tidal pond
XD Molly upgrades... pretty obvious mission control knows the struggle going down on the planets in fighting hostiles, Molly would be perfectly fine with carrying a bloody ammo refuel station and or some sort of turret.. especially since WE ALL KNOW! mission control loves us and would rather have us alive and safe, rather than us doing our jobs and getting them resources (drop pod leaves without me again.. ''its alright guys.. ill um.. get the next one?'')
placid plinth
Can we add these?
tidal heath
a random event (Like Bet-C) that we get random drop pod attacked by Goblin Space Pirates where its
- Only spawn in the following mission types: Mining Expedition, Salvage Operation and Egg collection.
- Initially signaled to the dwarves by mission control about an unauthorized sortie towards your cave.
- Would attempt to steal molly from us, and her contents. They wouldnt rush towards your face unlike the alien bugs, but instead they will rush towards molly and paralyse her as well as start slowly draining the ores deposited inside of her.
- Huge XP/credit bounty reward when succesfully defended chance slightly increase when holding more gold/extra minerals)
- Would use mostly weapons they find "advanced" but are mostly impractical, would fire projectiles you can manage to dodge with proper reflexes and movement. Just like any of the range enemies.
mossy surge
Big idea, play as the dungeon master.
Competitive idea, two teams go into the same mine and complete the mission scoring more for the delta in time among other things.
Also pre gen mines with ghosts.
Time trial!!
tidal heath
My other suggestion
Ancient Ruins Area proper name pending:
- Accessible once collected 5/10+ ERR:// Artifacts by the session host.
- Unconfortable to solo but not impossible, cannot latejoin, requires to assign a team on the spacerig before sortie if wanting to go as a team. (Due to the game having support for DCing or quitting to go back to its original spot, it's manageable to rejoin if DC'd if the host sends an invite throught steam)
- Looks from an ancient unknown race civilization, would consist of mazes and puzzles (place shaped objects around in the right shapes, remember symbol patterns and press a panel with them later and/or press platforms in a certain order indicated by some ancient circuitry marking their pathways, punishment for doing incorrectly triggers the trap) with artificially made walls, traps and security systems (laser and plasma alien turrets, pitfalls with acid pool below and sounding a strong alarm that will indirectly instigate a wave or sometimes a swarm or even a dreadnaught).
- Abandoned millenia ago, now the hive area for the alien bugs.
- They would have most minerals in containers and deposits.
- Classes would work differently in this area (Scouts illumination might be vital for the spotting of traps, engineer and gunner are helpful for fighting since there will be more hazards and ziplines and platforms can get across large pitfalls that would create shortcuts and not taking the longer and more trap-laid paths, Drillers can breach worn out walls, creating shortcuts as well.
- Hardest area of the game, would not spawn often in the mission selection scanner, would have high max complexity and high reward.
- Clear milestone on this area will give 3 stars instead of 2.
- Area Minerals: Jadiz Abundant - Enor Pearl Scarce (Requires to solve puzzle to open their container).

I'd like the ability to chat on the loading/drop/extraction/credits scenes. Basically, all the scenes where I lose control of my character and are stuck waiting for the game to return control, I should at least be able to chat. Overwatch has spoiled me in this regard.
bold sleet
Yeah, then you can tell your team you're buying the next round!
main ruin
A way to toss your bag of minerals at will to teammates/near molly so that you could save a couple trips, like the resource bag that drops when someone disconnects.
normal crag
Active mission camera. Would be great to be able to click on any of the missions already active to view before joining in or just watch for fun. Joining in I could get an idea if the mission is being attacked or not prior. For just observing it could be great to see how other players run a class in higher hazard types. The player camera from downed Dwarves already exists so it should be easy just to patch in to that. Also a Molly camera could be fun as the main camera over view.
normal crag
Molly Sandwich Storage.... as mentioned before in the weapon upgrade screens losing a space for sandwiches. Have Molly store sandwiches on the side that you can retrieve at cost of gold for a speed boost or health regen. One sandwich per player per game.

Depositing 2 ammo drops on the Mule to be used later

A new additional secondary weapon per class, bringing the total to three.
Also, linking to @normal crag ... Stored sandwiches in Molly, one per player every run, as a sort of freebie from management to keep the miners punching in rocks with maximum morale and energy.

@silent karma I mean, terrain is a thing. Even if you can move at ludicrous speeds, obstacles block movement and force you to dig. Or worse, you could run off a cliff or fall down a pit.
The bane of mobility is forever the risk of fall damage and entrapment due to speeding away without paying attention in a skirmish.
Furthermore, enemies tend to come from all directions and not all chase. Some prefer to sit and spit.Anyhow, on the topic of new secondary weapons... What ideas do you guys have?
I'm thinking, like, a melta-type (WH40k inspiration) pistol for the Driller. Oneshot hot vent-blast of molten gas to smelt anything just beyond melee range. Single-shot reload, massive damage, slags armor.

sour idol
have the drillers, drills not over heat so quickly
hexed python
Can we get more support tools, like how they did it with the weapons?
My idea as a example would be a Jetpack for the Scout as a replacement for the Grappling hook, it would allow you to move vertically easily, but sacrifice the speed and distance the grappling hook could travel horizontally. It should obviously be balanced enough so it's not worse or better than the Grappling hook, as it's meant to serve more as a "variant".

Hi
Oops - sent prematurely.
Hi everyone, some really cool suggestions in here, and super cool to see such a large and rock and stone community.
Myself and my friend had some suggestions and it seems like they've been touched on previously.
Firstly, the combat medic.
Nothing too fleshed out, but we love the idea of a medic class that feeds fellow dwarves with either buffs/healing brews and meads. Perhaps their gadget could be a small table laden with beers that heal you 30% so you can get tipsy while you mine. Primary weapon could be a vector-like SMG, small capacity, okay damage, and secondary could be some kind of whiskey-injector which provides a buff to your resident gunner - something akin to the heavy/medic combo from TF2, whether it be crit damage, mutual invulnerability or a speed boost. I think a class to this effect would be such an immaculate fit in an already well-rounded and finely tuned game. It would make haz 4+5 much more manageable with something like a 'supercharge' for when there's just a few too many enemies surrounding your squad.
Secondly, we love the idea of humanoid encounters - the idea of massacring parasite-infected elves (Or even dealing with a parasite enemy that infects your teammate and causes them to turn on you) would be super cool. I saw mention of a competitive pirate dwarven mining faction which I think is such a great suggestion.
Totally understand if that's not the direction ya'll wanna take the game, but would definitely be cool to have your standard mission be flipped upside down and have the added challenge of dwarven pirates dropping in on you.
Big thanks to the devs for working so hard on such a sweet game.
Keep up the good work ❤

I’d like to see the ability to set up multiple profiles per class. Essentially create a preset setup of mod and gear selections. Could select these when joining a game, and could created, edit and name them from the equipment terminal. Gives some limited ability to select gear when joining a mission in progress, as well as making it easier to setup different mods for mission types or something. Perhaps additional profile slots could be unlocked by higher tier promotions. Early on you probably wouldn’t mess with them, or only set up a couple, but the more you learn a class, there could be some real convenience in having several different profiles.
amber lodge
a Loadout system, effectively.
junior belfry
Secret cave rooms that can randomly generate, no dirt marking the way to it, you'd have to notice it on the scanner. Could hold various things such as bonus ore, dreadnaught cocoon, BET-C, or other weird things as like a fun hidden side objective that you gotta have an eagle eye for
elfin wyvern
Using the little mule for long mining purpose. This little mule need to be emptyed on the bugest one. Just to help around the splitted team sometime. So a 4 player team can decide or by random choose to get the little mule to go mine on another side. If they does they are binded with the smaller mule. By exemple guy1 ecide to split guy2 ress a bouton to bind himself on the little mule. Guy3 and guy4 can bind too but they still on the biguezt mule if they dont. It could grant a bigest size to the game than little session. More imersive quest and maybe a story out of it. But keep the splited mule and session bigger goal than 200 morkite or taking few eggs. It could be a way more interesting than simple mining.
By the same point could ask real teamwork mecanics from it. Fine mining and taking ressouce is good. But more action than shooting bugs and wendering arround could give a less repetitive sence on the game himself.

lucid zephyr
A cloaked/invisible enemy type. Meant as a scout it can cloak/invisible maybe from time to time, can be spotted only by a flashlight, Scout's flaregun or High-intensity flares (Medium-intensity flares or normal flares will be unable to expose its position) However it will leave small traces of footprints. Once this enemy spots or "marks" you, it will let out a scream or alternatively spit the same ball from the Dreadnought containing "Pheromones" what follows this is a small-scale swarm of swarmers, glyphids or Macteras that will obviously attack you. This enemy type will not have any armor move a little bit faster than a normal Glyphid Grunt. Would probably be called "Stalker, Phantom or Ghost ||Ship Games||"
crimson ingot
Perhaps a Predator ; ]
lucid zephyr
That works too, but for what the concept is (Not a direct attacking enemy) the name "Predator" doesn't seem to fit in
crimson ingot
I was referencing the aliens from the film series Predator, haha, but a more serious name could be called a Lich, as an allusion to cloaking itself in shadows and siccing its minions onto the player
worldly nexus
A chaperone, bug that works in the hive as some sort of worker that helps focus the bugs on tasks, like a shift manager but it’s a spider, throws pheromones to help focus the glyphid horde
amber lodge
Call the forward scout a "Mactera Vanguard" and anyone it marks will be targetted by macteras with greater accuracy? IDK.

A spinoff strategy game named mission control where you have to guide the dwarves though the missions and send in resupply pods etc
You have like an upgraded terrain scanner veiw of the caves
If a dwarf do t make it to the pod at the space rig he should be sent in using a personal drop pod besides the big one

dusty cypress
i posted an idea about individual bonuses, most kills, most revives, most minerals mined, etc. as a way to get extra xp and credits on a mission
languid vigil
Suggestion: Super random chance Event - When you start a mission, management drops you 'in the wrong spot' though, its a (mostly open) large cavern full of Gold and rare minerals (for building up your weapons).
Management realizes their mistake as they sent you in 'too deep', but allows you to "Have fun with this unscheduled team building event".
The catch is, it is in a zone that is either:
A.) Falling apart rapidly (timer until the room collapses and your dead) - Easy
B.) Never ending/no break waves of increasing difficulty. to the point of Madness - Hard
Again, this would be a super rare occurrence (similar in chance to entering 'Wimsyshire' in Diablo 3) , so it couldn't be abused that badly. Its also possible that due to your own greed, you'll end up dying in it because your trying to grab too much while fighting/racing the clock.
dusty cypress
whats whimsyshire
amber lodge
perhaps instead of "sending you too deep" instead they send you to where they intend, but the rock collapses into a sinkhole because of the instability, so you plummet said treasure trove cavern but the cacophony has both wrecked your pod and drawn a lot of attention. Effectively a random modifier that sometimes proccs in team games that essentially combos it with the latter half of a salvage mission.
solemn jackal
Subtitles could use a second pass. Even in English, they're inconsistent and a bit awkward at times.
A good example is whenever a character hums as they deposit, or the Gunner's "Brrm!" voice line. The subtitles are just completely out of whack.
solemn jackal
On a completely different note, a few perks could really use tweaking:
- 10% fall damage reduction is cool. Having it upgrade by a paltry 1% per tier is not. Maybe 2 or 3% per tier would be worthwhile...?
- I'll admit I haven't tried it, but Vampire seems fairly useless. Considering that base health is 125 (140 if you maxed your armor), healing 2-4 health on a melee kill is... Paltry at best, at least on paper. Not to mention you probably won't be going out of your way to melee enemies if you can help it (it slows you and does awful damage compared to simply shooting them). It's especially not worthwhile on large enemies like the adult rollers, who have probably bumped off a good bit more than four Health.
dull topaz
you guys need to stop giving away the minerals for crafting.. just remove that reward completely
it removes to much of the grind/fun playing and earning stuff
also the drillers pistol is overpowered - far more effective than the GK2
it would be nice if you can drop all the minerals on you so someone else can pick them up.. encourages new teamwork situations
flare gun duration could use a huge boost.. like triple the duration bonuses for upgrades
worthy meadow
@solemn jackal vampire is actually incredibly OP with the iron will perk. because if you get a melee kill you won't go down as long as you dont get hit again
solemn jackal
Huh, I hadn't thought of that.
prisma canyon
One message removed from a suspended account.
solemn jackal
Still, it's not much of an upgrade or perk outside of that Iron Will synergy.
I mean, I can see it being useful then, but I don't see why it shouldn't have some merit on its own.
Again, 2-4 health on a melee kill is pitiful. :/
Unless they're the very last monsters in a wave, you're gonna get munched once and go down anyway.

What would be Nice is when for example a dwarf is left behind the game doesn't end there for them, you stay alive but no way to call in more drop pods of supplies , no comms and Endless Waves of aliens till you succumb, kinda like how Karl died, abandoned and alone perhaps an options to off yourself. It would be really cool to actually try and survive with no way out. Objective survive!

What about introducing a new buyable droppods. Maybe like a stationary turret from point extraction, or a portable heater that will heat up the bugs (and dwarves) around it.

What would be Nice is when for example a dwarf is left behind the game doesn't end there for them, you stay alive but no way to call in more drop pods of supplies , no comms and Endless Waves of aliens till you succumb, kinda like how Karl died, abandoned and alone perhaps an options to off yourself.

April fools ideas (discussed in chat):
Make the error cube give the first player to pick it up a fake blue screen and warped audio for a couple of seconds, along with a fake "[player] left the game" message and hide them from the HUD. (give them invulernability while it happens so they dont get killed)
Give glyphids random voice lines like: "ooh I can taste you already", "im gonna eat ya", or "where are you looking?, I'm over here!" but have them rare to mess with the players.

Building off of the Pet Lootbug in the Hub idea by @thorny kraken, it could be unlocked by an achievement called "Alien Ally" or something similar where you go 10/20 missions in a row without killing/harming any lootbugs
Also, other hub achievement unlocks like a taxidermized dreadnaught for "Big Game Hunter", and so on. These could be spread around the hub ship and maybe even have their own section, ||maybe up in the secret tunnel you need gravity recalibration to access||.

hi, playing DRG I thought of a mission that could be interesting but that looks a little like "save the MULE": it would be a rescue mission of MULE / survivors but with a cave that is destroyed over time (like earthquakes in the volcanic biome). Once the survivors have been saved, the escape pod should be repaired as in "save the M.U.L.E." I think that our flight and the world that is destroyed as and when can add stress
worthy meadow
hmm, i like that idea, a sorta time limited mission, but i don't like the idea of a cave being slowly destroyed. I think instead it could just be a drop pod on a limited timer so as not to change your experience moving through the cave and ruin it with screen shake. Make lines like "We're on a tight schedule here" actually mean something
karmic path
u know when u take a egg there is a "GROAAAAAAAAAAAR" of the queen (i guess) but we never see her, so maybe instead of destroying the cave make the queen come if you're too slow. But i prefer the idea of cave collapse (sry for bad english btw)
worthy meadow
oh yea thatd be good too, like an unkillable monster you have to run from? that might work too. my concern is it'd just be hard to make a cave "collapse" with the current engine, seems like that'd take a lot of terrain moving all at once. (your english is pretty good as well, don't worry about it)

collapse is a very big word but just cracks like in the lava biome could be enough with the same earthquake but more often

Adjust Gunner's guns so he isn't awful unmodded. Once he's fully kitted out, he works well, but until that point he's really lacking.
Look into toning down the heat mechanic of the Minigun, and/or at least making the heat gauge more visible (a HUD meter or something). He's supposed to be all about more dakka, and it's just awkward to choke because you were a bit too trigger happy.
Bear in mind he's also a new player's first impression of the game

Something i think would be a cool QoL addition, no longer have the drop pod automatically leave when all live dwarves are inside and there's a dwarf downed on the outside.
Many times me and buddies will be filing in and the low HP guy on the tail end would get downed on the ramp right outside the drop pod and we'd already be inside and cant react to pick him up and it sends us out.
When all dwarves are alive and inside then automatically extract, when a dwarf is downed somewhere, do NOT automatically extract and instead have a push button you interact with like on the MULE that you push to finish the mission while leaving the downed person behind. would save alot of accidental dwarf-left-behind and give the devs an opportunity to add more "no dwarf left behind" meme's by chastising those that use the button.

if/when the Space Rig gets its overhaul, perhaps give the dwarves have different rooms. That is to say, like Vermintide. Where each of the characters have their own room in the Keep where with their personal belongings to give you a better insight into that character
Gunners room could be full of weapons and ammo, books about guns

also - the difficulty scales poorly with multiple players. its harder on 5 with 4 players because you run out of nitra. if you make the resupply cost less based on the number of players, it would fix this

Just a thought I had about the resupply mechanic: Instead of having a pod drop into the play area when enough redstone (forgot the name) is mined, why not just have the Mule manufacture resupply? The mule could either have extendable racks like the current resupply pod, or it could just spit out 4 resupply pickups.
I find it weird that ore we mine and deposit into the mule is just magically transported to home base for them to send in resupplies. It's especially jarring when all other materials needs to be transported back to the escape pod.
Speaking of Mules, is there any planned feature for upgradeable & customizable Mules? For instance, maybe something similar to Bosco's upgrade terminal but for Mules. I could only apply if you are the Party lead?

There are problems with griefers now.. particularly people either player killing in missions, or disbanding the group near the end of the mission. We need the ability to report players for griefing, and some sort of block list to make it so people you block can't group with you anymore
misty niche
Many people have discussed about adding a 5th class, and we all know how much work that would take (some more than others, though). But what if, maybe, we had a second Class Unique Tool?
For example, a Driller is very useful to buy time by digging those tunnels and creating paths, but what if he could change his drills for a mineral gathering drill? A ranged drill that had less fuel than the regular drill, but it would almost instantly gather (or simply mine it, as if you had just sent Bosco, but way way faster) an entire mineral veil in a certain distance (maybe quite shorter than the Scout’s grappling hook, so that the game doesn’t become too easy).
Having that means he could think of a build where he actually uses explosive sachet to dig tunnels, if the team needs to buy time.
There are many possibilities, if you consider the classes’ purposes, like how the scout has the ability to go on ahead and help other dwarfs see everything. Maybe his Flare Gun could be replaced by a Threat Recognizing gun, that would reveal all enemies (as if you pinged them) in a quite decent range around where he shoots. This could help the team prepare if they are hearing a lot of alien noises, but they don’t know where it’s coming from. Could also be used to see if there aren’t any sneaky exploders or exploding plants on the other side of a wall, so that the driller doesn’t drill his way into the afterlife. He could also use it for a quick check for Cave Leeches. All of that in exchange for more light. Tough choice.
Since the text is already long enough, I will post what I thought for the Gunner in #suggestion-discussion

I really sugest to hire more voice actors to this game. It's like one voice actor for each class with different tone. Even when you enter the mission, you can hear the talk between characters, its always Driller and Scout, even if they are not there.
More cosmetics would be cool too, tbh. Removing the lvl's limit, coz right now 25th lvl is the higest you can get.

If we removed the level limit how would we promote our dwarves?

i feel like if they got different voices at this point it would feel wrong

dusk vector
What about a mission modifier where there's interference of some kind and supply drops don't land where intended
trail thistle
More weapons sounds good to me. Going from 16 guns to 24 would really make your load out design more personalized. Maybe the third option for a gun would be kind of niche, something kind of different from the other types they currently have. You wouldn't use it all the time but you wouldchanging it up situationally per mission. I think it would encourage people to ask their squad mates what build style they are going to use. I think engagement seems to be something that is hard to draw out of a lot of people. So if there is more incentive to make sure that you synergize well with your team, I think it would make the game even friendlier.
latent epoch
Honestly, at this point I think the game needs more game modes more than anything else. There's only like five (don't know for sure if I remember them all), and that is all you do in the game.
amber lodge
Agreed. Biomes are great, but more mission variety would be good. We have mining runs, salvage, egg hunt, elimination, and extraction. These are GREAT game modes, make no mistake.
latent epoch
The only problem is you do them over and over.
amber lodge
We need a lot more random elements to appear in a missions to make each one feel more different, or more mission options.
Stuff like dreads appearing, unpredictable variances in enemy spawn (A Mactera-only swarm!? There was a swarm incoming warning and not a single glyphid!) or stuff like the earthquakes in magma core, but with more permanent effects maybe? perhaps a quake drops rocks that can hurt players, mobs, or set off bombplants? In summation: More modifiers, more random in-mission events, and more missions. Maybe give slight extra rewards for surviving those extra random events as well, to reward adaptation to surpising mission changes.
Take for example the salvage mission. Rather than try to salvage a drop pod, you start the uplink, only to find out the pod is too damaged to repair, and so you have to make a mad dash to an extraction point while enemies spawn and go after you full bore.

The Driller's satchel is a pretty powerful weapon, everyone knows that. However, I beleive it could be thrown a bit further away, because right now the distance you can throw it is pretty damn short (not even enough to stay away from the explosion).

Idea for a new mission type: Rescue My idea for this is a party goes down, and Mission control sends you to bring them back to the medical bay in the space rig. The drop pod would stay down the whole mission, and you need to carry the four dwarves back to the drop pod (the dwarves would act as heavy objects). There could also be a time limit that you have to complete the mission in. A rescue would explain how you end up back in the medical bay after a failed mission rather than like a team you do a salvage mission for (you just happen to always be in a place mission control can quickly send a team to rescue you).

Asteroid detonation missions. Hoxxes has a lot pf nasty stuff floating in orbit, so what if the station is rendered at risk to a stellar impact, and they send miners to plant special charges to fragment such asteroids, and harvest anything on them as they do but with a VERY short window before the charges have to be planeted and blown. After that happens, you have to scramble to the evac as the map breaks around you.
Think fissures on the magma core or glacial strata biomes, only deep enough you can KO from falling down, and constantly more and more and more of them appear until the entire map is all empty space from fissures?
Could call them rockbreaker missions .

you know if an engineer is using a gemini or an advanced turret based on the look of the turret itself. but you dont know if an engineer has the fall-damage-dampening upgrade on his platforms or if a gunner has the fall damage reduction or the faster movement speed upgrade for his grapple lines
less likely to make it in suggestion: i dont suppose we could get a pickaxe upgrade to a: swing faster, or b: break harder materials in less swings?

A mining strength buff option would be nice, yeah. Driller had that prior too the power attack update rather than sharper pick to buff damage IIRC.
More pick upgrades is good.
proven bramble
Suggestions: 1. 5-10 seconds of invisibility after leaving 1man drop pods, unless you move or shoot. Because joining a game in progress and dying instantly isnt fun. 2. Personal Blacklist that warns you about ppl you dont like in games you might join. 3. Re-join button when you restart the game after crash. 4. Indicators for grenade type in HUD. 5. Make tiny bits of ground, left hanging in air after digging around, disapear. 6. More specialised upgrades to trade one stuff for another, like lower grenades pool for faster flare regen etc 7. Loadouts that can be changed when you choose a class for already running mission.8. Allow for more different easily visible marks with pointer. 9. Add back an escape pod icon.
I dont provide much explanations because those suggestions are very simple and pretty much just fixes/crutches for existing flaws.

so it is more surprising
Even if people would know they existed they wouldn`t be able to tell the difference so ther is a chance that while u are worried on 2 ore lodes and get more careless overtime u may get surprised on that time.

Mission Type Suggestion: Decoy
Synopsis:
"Alright miners, listen up. Not too far from here is a nest absolutely teaming with alien bugs and - more importantly - a real mother lode of gold and other valuable ores. Its far to dangeous too send our valuable team of aces into, as guarded as it is, but that's where you lot come in. We will be dropping you just outside the nest to keep its guards distracted while the real team does the real work. Do us proud, miners!"
Description:
The idea of this mission type would be a survival mission, with swarms triggering on regualr intervals. You would be dropped down in a standard drop pod, which unlike in other mission stays around. The cave would be similar to an Aquara mission, and similarly would have no Molly, but also no armed extractor. The game play loop would revolve around players touching down, knowing they had one minute before bugs started showing up to gather materials. From there, a new wave would be called every 90 seconds, forcing the team to split their attention between gathering materials and killing bugs before swarm in. The longer they are there, the more bus would be spawned, with the pod opening back up only after 15 minutes on the ground. As an alternative to the usual find and mine method, this mission type can also have a signifigantly higher rate of loot bug spawns, forcing players to gather nitra from their exploded corpses to keep their clips full.
fathom peak
Loadout presets
In the equipment terminal, every class should have 2-4 preset slots that can be switched between at a click. You can choose a set of guns and upgrades and perks for that class, and the game will save that in the currently selected preset slot. You can then switch to a different preset slot, and equip a different selection of guns and upgrades and perks.
This will allow players to coordinate what guns and upgrades they want to use together in advance, and be able to instantly switch to that selection of gear when they want to change up their build. As more gear gets added, it's getting more cumbersome to swap out loadouts and upgrades and remember what synergizes with what. Allowing players to save their builds and quickly swap them will encourage players to use a build that best fits the current mission, rather than sticking to the most generalist build, as totally re-tooling your kit for every single mission is time consuming and not very fun

I think, in terms of difficulty options and consistancy across such, I have an idea. Make it so enemies individually are the same across difficulties, but rather than having artificial scaling, make it so more of the harder variants (such as slashers/guards) appear rather than just scaling up the same enemies. Thus making elites spawn more often on harder difficulties, and special variants taking up a larger percentage of normal swarms. (This might also open up new variant options for enemies such as mactera and the like.) On another note, to make 'death spiralling' less of a thing, I'd recommend health-packs. Not free, but available from Molly after depositing red-sugar, which would be able to be collected when at full health. I feel like this would make harder difficulties less of a 'same but harder' but a more interesting and more difficult experience. (ping me in #suggestion-discussion if you'd like to discuss such.) I do feel it would require a rework, but the end result could be quite neat.

Suggestion 1: Expanding on the bounty board to be able to attempt mission seeds others have failed on.
- Team fails a hard mission due to the terrain seed being more difficult, the mission then gets advertised on the bounty board for others to attempt too, the more teams that fail said seed the bigger the reward increase.
Suggestion 2: Being able to retry seeds for say 20% of the total reward at the end could also be a nice mechanic, sometimes I've had an insane terrain generation and I'd love to have been able to share it with others to try too.

I've done several missions where the spawns never stopped coming and we failed after 10-15 mins of running around and eventually running out of ammo. Not sure what spread of enemies spawned to make that happen, but we had multiple Nexus & Multiple wardens in several of the caves, even after we cleared them out enemies kept coming.
It was actually pretty fun.
Seems like it should be a mission type, like a low % chance that any mission immediately gets aborted and turns into a hold out mission because of unexpected massive glyphid presence.

depends on the mission, but IIRC Elimination missions don't have swarms, they just constantly spawn mobs. Maybe Eggs too.

PS4 controller support :/
fallow river
A perk that increases mining speed by 1.5x. Lots of people have been asking for mining speed upgrades or mods and I think it would be very balanced as a perk.
I know mining speed is a controversial topic, so to give some context, let's look at some numbers. Taking my old speedrun of 200 morkite where Qmining was used to increase mining speed:
Time spent in mission was 4:00 or 240s
Time spent mining in the mission was 40s (overestimate)
For the sake of argument, let's round up the impact of Qmining to 2x speed (it wasn't quite that large). So without Qmining the time spent mining would have been 280s.
240/280 x 100 is 85%. Doubling the mining speed resulted in a 15% decrease in mission time. This is based of a situation where the player is speedrunning so mining time relative to mission time is much larger, and therefore a mining speed increase would make a larger difference. The values were also overestimated to make sure I wasn't underestimating the impact of a mining speed increase. This would mean the actual impact would be far lower than my value.
So you could safely double the mining speed, and at most, it would have an impact of 15%. A 1.5x mining speed increase would therefore be balanced relative to the other perks available.

there should be more class-specific passives that increase team diversity and class uniqueness like the driller being able to mine with his pick more effectively previously, so some variations would be movement speed (gunner being the slowest, scout being the fastest), shield and health values (gunner being the heaviest, scout being the lighest), pick mining strength (driller having 1+ mining strength), and repair speed (engineer being the fastest)

Hello Miners ! I have some ideas for upgrades 27 and 28 ! Give me your opinions !
DEEP ROCK GALACTIC UPDATES
27: Bosses Update
-Add differents bosses for the elimination mission in all biomes (not only glyphids, it can be big Macteras or something else) The dreadnought stay in the game for the lava biome.
-New mission type : -Hunt : The players have to find and kill a creature (It can be different types of creatures like 3-4 so the game would never be the same) the mission is almost the same as the eliminations missions but the creature is not in a chrysalis (so the enemy is not a baby so he is bigger) the mission is harder but there is only one creature to kill once this is done you will get the head of the creature. A new room will be the trophy room (where there is the head of the differents creatures you kill).
-Armor upgrade : -Red Sugar Stock : Can stock up to 50 red sugar for later.
-Big red button : You can activate a button that destroy your armor to deal damages and stun (for 6 seconds) enemies around you.
-New enemy : Atomic glyphid Bulk detonator (Radioactive Exclusion Zone) like a Bulk detonator but also leave a huge radioactivity zone that stay for 30 seconds.
28: Training Update
-Add an Arena mod : you have to survive as many waves as possible against hord of enemies, there are no minerals to find just the enemies in a cave with a bosses or a big creatures every 10 waves you'll earn gold at the end of the game equal to the ammount of waves you survive.
-Shooting range : (The famous close room) its a simple shooting range where you can try every guns or grenades against false glyphids or macteras. It can also be tried in a little cave (like the tutorial one) with real enemies.
-New mineral : Compressed Nitra : really rare can only be find one time per game can call a big resupply pod with four supply racks each restoring 100% health and ammo to the user also give a BET-C and on the resupply ; 2 turrets that can't be moved (place it carefully !)
-New enemy : The minerals eater (Fungus Bogs) Look like a squid, clings on the dwarves head and sucks the minerals can only be killed by other players or by bosco (it will be an icon on the screen to know there is a minerals eater on your head just like for the leech cave) once killed he will explodes and the minerals will be dropped.
Sorry for my bad english !

Suggestion: Personal supply drop. Costinng 1/4th of the regular drop (20 nitra), it can resupply a single dwarf.

@sick yacht I'm a fan of just about all the suggestions apart from the Compressed Nitra
I personally think it's too much of a clutch ore that can really just cushion the difficulty if it allows you to get a hold of a BET-C off the board
Be it super rare or not. I feel like removing the BET-C part of the ore and keeping the turrets is still good enough
amber geode
The last few times playing it has been impossible to extract. The drop pod ends up on a ledge and the ramp goes out to nowhere and stops in mid air.. so maybe make it so the drop pod lands in a way that player can get on or make the ramp extend until it hits ground.
warm mural
I have an small idea that my friends and I thought of together. So when you buy a round, all four players get a mug filled frothy dwarven spirit (or one thirsty player gets four) to get smashed before a mission or celebrate the success of one. In celebration, I bought my friends and I a round the first thought we all had was, "Why can't we cheers?" A small thing and I won't love the game any less if I never see it, but I just think it'd be cool if right click was cheers and left click was drink. Thanks for listening!
cosmic compass
Just press V while holding the mug
undone ingot
I had a neat idea for a gamemode, basically it would be a timed gamemode where you had to get as much loot as you can dump it into one of three mini mules that had like a limited amount that they could hold and they would run back unload and then come back and when the timer hit its mark the game gets very hard depending on the area so ice zone would be a permament blizzard and rad zone would sap you shields or something like that and plot wise mission control would tell you that the scans picked up a motherlode but the area is highly unstable due to (whatever reason he gives for the area so shifting magma, bug horde, avalanche that sort of catastrophic element) its mainly jsut a reason to use the mini mules but would love to hear some thoughts

i had an idea for a salvage type mission where the dwarves drop in individually into 4 separate cave systems (sm-med in size) in search of something and once one of the miners finds it they regroup and finish the mission

brittle hill
The only thing that I do not like about this game is the audio. Firing your gun sounds quiet compared to people shooting their guns 20 feet away. It should be the other way around. There are also issues with the audio fading in and out and the game choosing what it wants you to hear. To me this is the audio equivalent of NPCs popping in and out right in front of you. I also with that the ears ringing would apply to more than just friendly fire explosives like the exploder bugs and the explosion fruits.
acoustic vector
extra dense/long swarms as a mission hazard
lost ledge
The ability to paint armor like how you can with skin and beards
ancient kraken
I suggest larger variability in missions.
We never saw the results of BET_C or mini-mules usage, as we never had missions where drop pod would stay for us
Only the results
neat quiver
I have an Idea for engineer's foam launcher. Terrain launcher, launches sticky floors, smooth ice floors, maybe even hot rock platforms to stop the glyphids. I think doing that would add more uses for platforms than just to be platforms or doorway fillers.

@rocky trout Thanks ! Yes you're right a BET C is maybe too much only the turrets is already good enough

More drinks at the Abyss Bar that can let you choose certain bonuses and hazards on missions for a bit of risk reward. Good for group play. Ideas such as Franz Fizzy Flat Ale that gives you low gravity, Mactera Melon Medley that gives you Mactera swarm, and the Silver beard Static Slosher that could give shield disruption.

Can we get something that stops people from joining you when you are solo, only to shoot you in the face and leave, since apparently you can't report them when the mission fails as bosco doesn't show up?
Idk a report system or something for the malicious players which doesn't go away 3 seconds after they leave the game from killing you?
I had almost fully completed a dreadnaut solo on really good modifiers for a guy to join, shoot me in the face just after I'd summoned the dreadnaut and then the guy left after killing me within like 15-20 seconds

Suggestion (I'd even say requirement): Generate more Nitra (1.5x at least) if a mission has a negative mutator
Glacial strata, Hz5, Exploders infest, 3/3, Elimination (3 dreads): After killing a second one, all Nitra was gone. To make it worse, an extra (4th) dread was spawned. Failed the mission obviously, even though we could make it, if we had enough ammo (nitra).

Alternate gamemode idea: Rescue mission. This is not a gamemode you can select from the mission select, but rather a special type of mission that occasionally pops up on the surrounding monitors. The mission sends you down into another player's cave who missed the escape pod, and revolves around finding them and leading them to your drop pod. The entire mission would be in "escape mode" (where the enemies continuously swarm) which would mean it is a very intense, yet short mission.
I think a mission like this would be cool in Deep Rock Galactic because it would encourage you to stick with your teammates and hold out for a rescue mission at the end rather than abandon them when the timer gets low
rocky trout
I've had an idea for another type of cave generation that can occur, specifically more often in the Magma Core biome:
Was wondering if it would be possible to have some sort of underground ravine area, in a similar fashion to how Minecraft does them but with more depth. It could be an optional path to take but offers a higher risk higher reward scenario due to a lava hazard at the bottom. This would suit teams prepared for more tedious traversing along the ravine walls. Have ores placed in tricky spots along the way.
A screenshot for reference, I'd maybe picture this but with more depth and of course with lava along the bottom
And most importantly, a lot darker
amber lodge
I also thought up the idea of an underground lake of water or lava dotted with icebergs of diamond, and the roof of the cave is where the resources are.

Better skill System (it's clear that the current skill System is a placeholder, you even said way back that it is a placeholder and you will integrate way more useful skills etc.)
normal crag
Two suggestions: 1. Change the Dark Morkite from a 20% extra morkite to 10% extra to all ore... makes it more usable for every other mission type that isn't mining. 2. Give Bosco a grabber for Blooms, Fossils, and Shrooms. It can be an alternative attachment for the rockets that you can switch prior to leaving the base.
junior hemlock
I absolutely second the idea for Bosco to have the ability to grab items like fossils
fallow river
+1 to that idea. The more players you have, the more equipment and variety you have to get around the map. Since equipment doesn't scale with player numbers it just puts solo players at a massive disadvantage.
Having bosco being able to grab things should defo be a thing.
junior hemlock
Because let's be frank, when you're a class like Engie in solo, getting to fossils on the ceiling is nigh impossible, or requires way too much effort to get to.
Bosco being able to grab stuff and bring them back to you (Like a, y'know.. dog.) would streamline solo play much more.

Weapon License (Player Rank 10) : Ultimate Pickaxe
It'll be a pickaxe melee weapon that's twice the size of the normal pick and will replace the dwarf's secondary weapon. Left click to attack. Hold left click to power attack once you've unlocked it separately for this weapon. Right click to mine using the Ultimate Pickaxe if that's what's currently equipped (like, using an assault rifle and right click will still use the basic pickaxe). Upgrades will focus on the power attack (example: tier 2 upgrade called "Mjolnir's Electro Enhancement" to add electric damage and chance to stun to power attack) or the mining capabilities (example: tier 2 upgrade called "Ore Shatterer" to make it so power attacking a mineral vein will entirely mine it).
Edit: Just to be clear, the Ultimate pickaxe should never make the Driller obsolete as it will never mine faster than the basic pickaxe, just better than the basic pickaxe which would still make it an interesting option for the Driller to become like a melee tank type character

So my friend and I were doing a salvage op and we we're at the refueling when a detonater came up on us. We had to leave the circle or it would've one shotted us. Long epic fight unsued and right as we beat it and felt like we won we failed for being outside the ring for too long. This was pretty dumb considering the detonater would've one shotted us in the circle. Might wanna look into having detonators show up while you're in a circle
Detonators need nerfed in general. Too many instant KOs and this isn't enough weak point to actually kill them so you have to grind through about half their health which is a big waste of ammo
amber lodge
no no no, that's where you run a "Queen's gambit" and feed one of yours to the bulk so it blows up utterly, then come in and revive him. he's not permadead until you all are.
robust hornet
It would be neat if the Gunner had an alternative fire for the zipline that had to be 90 degrees (straight up) but allowed you to climb at that angle. I feel it would add some much needed vertical mobility in the game, in addition to spicing up the Gunner's mobility role.
unborn stratus
I don't know if that's a good idea or not.
it would be nice to add new missions for more diversity in the game.
I've been thinking about a mission that's been going on in my head for a while:
a big mission to eradicate a very big wave of monsters that is coming in non-stop.
I explain, the objective of the mission is to reduce the number of these damn big bugs that prevents them from mining in areas of high interest to other mining teams.
so we're being sent to an area without interesting resources (except nitra and gold)
to activate a hormonal pod, which attracts all these monsters! (which is also called a diversion to allow the other mining site to suffer less attack... in theory)
the mission only starts when you press the big red button on the pod (there is no big wave of insect during your preparation and nitra harvest)
but when the mission is launched... prepare to collaborate as never before!
because it is a non-stop wave of monsters coming from several directions for 10 to 15 minutes (duration to be reviewed)
and during this incessant wave of insects, it is possible that a boss may arrive in the middle... see 2 in total (let's say the difficulty) that moves with the horde!
(so prepare the ammunition pods in advance ;) )
Now let's move on to the platform with the hormonal pod!
the platform is equipped with 4 turrets with a high firing rate! their damage is low, but their high ammunition capacity and their perforating bullet will be very useful to you! (you will have to check if you decide to activate the turrets when you press the red button or they have been active since the platform landed)
and 2 lighting spots.
I made a mini plant of the platform very badly drawn and filled with mistakes....
( Forgive me for spelling and grammar mistakes probably visible for miles, but I can't write in English, so I used an automatic translator for that! )
you find my idea interesting?
junior hemlock

is just sudgestion time, but yes that can be very long :/ maybe 6 - 8 min ?

yes ! pheromones ^^'
I made a mistake between hormones and pheromones ><

no big deal, everyone knows what you mean especially since they gave the scout a pheremone grenade just a few weeks ago
so would this actually open up a new/different cave system after you beat it?
unborn stratus
idk, i just have idear of this mission, not for cave.
dusty cypress
it might be an interesting mechanic to add to the game though, imagine if it was part of community based mining missions, the more teams that complete these missions grants access to special challenge missions with high payouts and rare minerals
in that could even be in the form of a special mission mutator popping up once or twice a day

You could maybe add the ability to hear the dwarves arguing with each other about which alcoholic drink is best or something like one of them yelling at the other for forgetting to bring the sandwiches or something silly like that when loading into a mission with someone else.

Seed saving:
Players are able to save and share cave generations
Method:
After a mission, under the continue button would be a "Save Cave" button which caves the generation. From here how the system differs. I will call it Minecraft Method (MM) and Mario Maker Method (MMM).
MMM:
Once a cave generation has been saved, the player has the option to upload it to a server from which players can download it from an in-game terminal. This terminal also displays the speed of each mission (Basically speed run leaderboard) which can be catagorised by Hazard level, Number of players and objectives completed.
cons
- Would require a dedicated server which could become costly
- People would upload a multitude of cave generations
MM:
The cave generation is saved locally allowing the host to select it when selecting a mission. People can then share the cave generations via external websites or within friend groups with USBs.
cons
- No speedrun leaderboard
- Is basically the opposite to MMM
Summary:
Seed sharing with maybe Speed run leaderboards

I have a proposition: a Node that is always open on the mission select, except instead of your typical mission, it's an arena mode where you and your mates drop in to a large cavernous room where waves of enemies will come out of tunnels on the walls, and at say, each round some nitra would rain down from the ceiling, and there would be a salvage type drop pod at one side of the room except you'd just have to start powering it up and survive until it is powered up, so the dwarves can leave whenever they want (theoretically) (and you could drop off resources in the drop pod)
nevermind on my idea
@unborn stratus Did an excellent proposition up above awhile back about a 10-15 minute nonstop wave, although more ammo would not go unappreciated.

Suggestion: Some gameplay effect to going into a mission drunk. If you're drunk enough to be having wobbly vision, maybe you swing your pick harder, yeah? if not against enemies, then at least to break harder materials in fewer hits
rigid needle
just a minor thing that really bugs me: the mule docking procedure isnt very polished. i mean it just floats up and disappears in the pod. the rest of the game is way more refined and since seeing the mule dock in every mission i think it deserves a bit more love. maybe this was already spoken of but i wanted to mention it. my suggestion: perhaps some tractor beam sucking the mule in a bay over the troop compartment.?!

Alternative Tools for the classes to mirror the alternative weapon options.
Driller:
Mining Laser (only mines resource veins, rather than raw earth. Does so at a distance)
?
Engineer:
Rockcrete Foam Sprayer (Much more versatile but delicate in ammo management, this device can be used to seal small opennings, immobalize bugs caught by the foam it fires, or build crude foam structures like staircases or platforms)
? ()
Gunner:
Tesla Tower ()
Weboline Gun (A gun that fires masses of strong elastic, which form a web-like shape. On impact, a dwarf will bounce as if on a trampoline, allowing them to mitigate impact damage or use it for mobility, and jump on the webbing to bounce to a higher location.)
Scout:
Radar suit (AoE ping that outlines all mobs regardless of the light, and the walls of the cave within X meters)
Directional Intertial Damper (short-turn wallwalk, can be used to walk or run straight up a more than 90 degree angle, but lasts a short time, so you have to mine resting points on the way)
Will refine shortly.

SpecOps modulator, where you can't use flares bur the flashlight is a little better than normal. Some would say YYyYyYY just unbind the flares and play YYyyyY. Ye. But the flashlight is that worth like scout - shit.

New game modes: Rescue, Manager and Mecha battle
Rescue
One player is trapped somewhere, with ocasional enemies (weak ones to be balanced) spawning around him/her. The other 3 players to rescue him. On solo modo, it could be Bosco trapped and the player needs to rescue it. The surrounds have no light, requesting constant flares. The chave where the player is could vary from enviroment to enviroment (rock, dirt, stone, sand, ice, etc) and all the riches are there: 1 or 2 rare minerals, lots of gold and nitra. While the trapped player needs to defend him/herself, he/she can also mine for those riches giving the nitra needed for ammo for the rest of the team. I think Bosco could be programmed, in this case, to mine and deposit with MULE besides it.
Planning
One of the miners goes into a mechanic chamber where it can see the entire map. The map would be small. The manager player would point riches and minerals in all the map, with a flat 3D map in front of him, while the 3 other players would go mine and defend themselves. With solo mode, you could direct Bosco and mule to dig, mine and deposit. The manager chamber would be a big metal box/tower thing, with some turrents that he/she would need to reload from time to time. It could also be upgraded in-game using nitra or gold to unlock player guns replacing the standart turrets: flame thrower, ice gun, stun bombs, etc.
Mecha battle
A kind of tower defense. In a small area riches are scattered and need to be deposited or even mined. While some dwarves need to dig, mine and deposit, another one would need to defend the team in a big Mecha or even a big gun. Friedly fire is ON, of course. If it's a mecha, then it could move around together with the team at a slower pace. If it's a gun, then it could be a modification of the Aquarq's map where instead of having a big mine head with 2 turrets, one player it's inside a big gun to kill and shoot with lots/infinite ammo. For solo modo, the gun or mecha could be AI. To not create a dispute problem of the gun/mecha among players, it could overheat and eject players every X minutes, where they would land with a small parachute for nulifying fall damage.
misty niche
About pickupable equipments, like the driller's Axes and explosive satchel, if you already have max charges and you pick up another one (even if accidentally) , it just dissapears.
I, personally, hate having to waste such a powerful explosive charge or useful axe when I'm completely out of ammo from my main weapons, so sometimes I just throw axes and satchels on the floor before restocking. And sometimes, in the rush of battle, I end up picking up more from the ones I left than I needed to.
I just thought: if you already have max charges from the equipment, maybe you couldn't pick up more from the floor. It's a small change, but it's still something

Expand the lore regard Karl, Build on the story as to why there are dwarves in space and why they are mining minerals from Hoxxes IV... Yes there is a poster about the outer rims etc in the memorial hall but that is no story... This game is basically Lego Rock Raiders in first person... that awesome old game had cut scenes that told the story as to how the Rock Raiders got to that planet and why they had to mine "Energy crystals" - it was to power their hyperdrive so they could get back home.... This game has serious potential for an actual story with amazing cutscenes etc... Which leads me to my main point... Multiplayer and mining and shooting bugs are great but add a story mode!!! Rock and Stone!

Also: some use for repaired mini mules. We can’t deposit on them, why were they sent on the mission? What is their purpose. And enemy-priority for the BET-C. It’s weird seeing missile payload fly at one Glyphid swarmer. Thanks for letting us players be apart of the brainstorming! Great game 👍

Just want to notify everyone that doesn't know, put the game on your SSD instead of your hard drive.

Spread the word around on this, since it's a massive gamechanger.
fallow river
There's been a large amount of people who want a mining speed increase in some form or another, as you can guess I'm definately one of those people.
Here's the suggestion:
A perk that casues a 15% mining speed increase, everytime you hit terrain (not enemies) up to a max bonus of 60%. Wear's off as soon as you don't hit the next piece of terrain straightaway.
Why this is balanced:
- Doesn't work on enemies specifically so that it doesn't give a combat advantage.
- Mining speed has very little impact on a mission, but is an amazing quality of life thing for many people.
Think about how long you spend during a mission actually mining, it's around 10%. So even with double mining speed you're only saving 5% of time, which is well within perk terriority and would be totally balanced.

Yo why can't we have seatbelts or something when we start a mission. Seems dangerous

"you can always deposit on the side of the droppod" well sometimes we can't since most of the droppod is in the air so a deposit closer to entrance of the pod we can reach would be helpful or auto deposit resources when we enter pod at the end 😃

Instead of negating fall damage when you land on a unit (including teammates) it should split the damage among the two of you, allowing for more sensible fall rescues and goomba stomping unaware employees

Based on the addition of individual drop pods, I think they should be the primary way into point extraction missions since it doesn't make logistical sense to send a full sized drop pod with the mining rig. It seems to me that the full sized drop pod is only needed in the beginning if a mule is used. Also the individual drop pods could make regrouping at the mining rig a cool start of the mission.

Make gunner ziplines appear on the scanner, at least their poles. A pair of green pins wit an arroe pointing at one another would be enough. Making them light up like allies do when you hit your call key when you are within 30m of one would be aces, too
Its really damned hard to see a black stake and gray rope in many biomes, so maybe recolor them neon green and yellow, or something? And maybe add a little beacon light on them? Like the lights on tall towers to alert air traffic

Melee class ; Berserker ; Really tanky with a hi-tech space axe or whatever other weapon.
Doesn't have to deal with ammo, very tanky, deals good damage.
Has to get in close for damage, can't attack things far away, has to be very careful around huge enemies like bulk detonators and dreadnaughts.
To balance having to get close in, the class can probably have a very small health leech effect on kill 3-5hp or higher as an armor upgrade or maybe a high resistance to big enemy damage.
Game is definitely missing a melee character in my eyes. It could use tons of balancing and I have no clue what tool it can contribute to the team. Another big problem is how the class would safely damage some big enemies i.e. bulks and
dreads.

Berzerker+Vampire does a decent portion of that already.
Play Driller for Throwing Axes (which heal via Vampire), or Gunner to Shield when you need a breather (Like if you just got out of Iron Will via Vampire kill)

Hey guys I’m new to the discord here but I’ve been playing deep rock ever since it came out and I had a mission concept in mind so basically it’s called extermination and what you do is you have to go around the cave arming bombs on glyphid nests while you defend it and then when your finished with the mission you have 3 minutes to get to the drop pod before the bombs go off
near glacier
Show numeric values of health, shield and damage. Also maybe an in-game xp counter 🤔
deft tiger
New mission suggestion
Bomb the nests
It's a hit and run mission. Several nests of different kind are scattered around the map, next to mineral, gold and nitra sites. The players need to arm specific bombs to those nets in order to explode everything later. Each time a bomb is armed, a swarm of that kind of bug is released.
After the last bomb is armed, everybody has about 3-5 minutes to run and get aboard the drop pod. NOONE can be left behind.
dusk fox
@near glacier That is basically my driller build. Vamp+Berserker+Weekend Athlete. Ice cannon built for range and faster freezing. Subata built for punishing weak spots. Drills acting as primary weapons. Axes because holy forking shirt-balls are they awesome
Take the faster revival perk up to the point that bugs flee when you receive someone and you can actually turn that momentary set back into a free chance to drill some buggy booty
twin lynx
New mission suggestion
Defend the profits
Taking a scene out of Starship Troopers, specifically when Rico's teacher gets killed on Planet P. In the DRG universe perhaps a mining base/encampment has been operating successfully for some time, but it appears that the dig has disturbed a rather gigantic nest. Now the bugs have swarmed to destroy the base. The bugs outnumber the dwarves something like 50 or 100 to 1. It's possible to destroy all the bugs, but the insane amount of them and the limited ammo make it extremely difficult. Primary mission, defend for a certain amount of time and then get the hell out, or less likely, kill all forces and save the base. This is similar to an extraction mission, with a little salvage mission thrown in, but contained within a large base with walls, dwarf manned turrets, sniper points, one or several BET-C's, etc, where maybe several extraction mining platforms are operating. Looking over the walls and seeing the land covered with 100's if not 1000's of bugs coming in would send chills down the back of the most hardcore dwarf. Also, maybe the mission isn't limited to 4 dwarves. Perhaps open it up to more as long as the mission scales. Maybe max of 12 with only a certain amount of dwarf types allowed, so there can't be all drillers or something like that. 12 dwarves joining? Well the mission just tripled in bug count and base just got larger...just spit balling. Nitra is around but only the bravest (dumbest) dwarves will attempt to extract it. No Molly's because extraction mine platforms are there, and not sure about Bosco's. Shooting for the moon here but hoping to land among the stars...

Self building turret
There should be a mod on the turret which lets it build itself, the build time would be increased and would be extremely helpful if youre running from 50 bugs and dont have the time to build your own turret as well as putting it down somewhere and not worrying about it (until it runs out of ammo of course). For example if your on point extraction a swarm comes and you need to rebuild your turret but you dont have enough time to build it yourself you can let it build itself.

I have a good gaming friend who has been using her boyfriend's Steam profile to play DRG. She's spent 250 hours playing it there. Lately she and her boyfriend have been having issues, so last night she made her own Steam profile and bought her own copy of the game. Her boyfriend doesn't play DRG and has never played it on his Steam profile. She is sad she lost all of her progress and weapon unlocks. She was a gold-bordered engineer on his Steam profile. Is it possible her DRG profile can be transferred to her new Steam profile and linked to her new copy of DRG? It would really make her day. Eagerly awaiting a response, for her sake!
I can provide her contact info if it's possible.

Change Dark Morkite from 20% morkite to all ore so it can be used when ever. Add a Rich Atmosphere perked brew to the special board (Karl Lite).

Gun idea: the "Ahab" Harpoon Gun!
Made from the combination of a zipline gun and a flare gun: fires a spike with a modified flare filled with toxic waste material harvested from DR mienral-processing sites, releases a toxic cloud after a while.
Can be modifed to either fire smaller harpoons for more coverage or one giant fuck-off spike more suited to larger creatures.
Further modifications make the cloud slow enemies, make it flammable, have it attract enemies(pheromones), and the spike itself be upgraded to immobilize an enemy make it more vulnerable to damage.
robust hornet
Echoing off of Wiffle above, it would be cool if there was a new mod section for Molly / Defense Platforms where you could have a personal compartment that has a specific thing drop down with it. (Weaker ammo refill, health refill, couple of grenades, etc.) Might not be the most functional but man it would be flavorful. Also can't wait for our own mini-mules...
near glacier
Other gun idea: "Prism" Convergence Laser
This laser creates a round pattern of small continuous lasers that converge on the center to forrm into a large laser as the prism "spools up". While this weapons has infinite ammo and only heats up, it heats up very quickly at which your only option is to change the crystal which serves as ammo. So by being careful with your heat management you can keep firing forever.
Can be upgraded to deal 50% fire/frost/electricity/toxic damage, to create an explosion when the lasers fuse, to explode similar to the minigun when you overheat, etc.

I was thinking about maybe implementing something akin to the Relays in Warframe in DRG, whereas there’s a big social hub for multiple dwarves (more than 4 obviously) could hang out, drink beer, and add in maybe guild features? There’s a lot of room for addons if there was a large social hub area
Also a more concrete suggestion: replace the default class icons in the loading screen for missions with a portrait of your own dwarf that you’ve customized.

I'd like to see each dwarf have their own personality and voice lines. So that you can really fall in love with a character and relate to them instead of each class just being "Dwarf with minigun" or "Dwarf that builds things". I had some ideas for what each character's personality would be like based on their gameplay;
Scout: Definitely young and inexperienced, either arrogant or opptimistic and helpful
Gunner: Old and grumpy, a man that has seen too much and looks down on the other dwarves, especially scout. Maybe give him a prosthetic limb that could also be customized
Driller: Kinda weird like a hermit, some very odd and creepy voice lines and some kind of obsessive behaviour

what do you think about a new game mode in DRG a little like the eggs hunt, but with less eggs and a final boss when you have collected all eggs?

New tools suggestions
Engineer: Light robot to light surrounds and point to enemies keeping them marked all the time

New mission and mineral suggestion
Mining salt: The players need to mine great amounts of salt/rock/ice in order to fullfill somehting that Deep Rock needs. The mining is fast with more mineral income but since the caves are small, players get attacked more often
A medium range 360 "wave" scanner would be nice to highlight minerals

salt rock and ice? sounds like R&D wants some icecream after they eat their glyphid omelettes

A new biome would be quite cool. I was thinking it can be one of those mythical places underground like in Journey to the centre of the Earth or Ice age 3 Down of the dinosaurs. Kinda like when they go down into the planet and it has its own weird outside kinda feel. I know DRG is all about caves and what not and it's supposed to be dark, I just thought of it and hoped someone else would understand and like said idea

I'd like saltrock and ice to be depositable, and like, give 0.1% the normal 'morkite' payout, I say this because when mining in groups, in some situations I'm left with nothing to do but stand watch along side the other guy who has nothing to do but stand watch

Could we get visual updates for the mk1/mk2 armors of all classes? They look awfully smooth compared to how many details there is on more recently released armors, and adding more bits to them would keep art coherent (put an mk2 gunner next to the mk5 or even mk5, you will see what i mean)
Also... need color options for armor, at least so you can match your weapon's paint scheme.

Could support edition please apply the gold color to any armor? I'm no fan of any of the MkII armors
turbid stream
Saw a short conversation that I thought was interesting so I came up with a more fleshed out idea (no numbers because squabbling over them in this channel is a waste of time):
Buildable Radar Scanner alternative to sentry gun-
It's a static buildable kit like the sentry, instead of shooting it pulses every x seconds to mark nearby enemies with an outline. this makes them visible even in darkness and around corners. it also debuffs these enemies while in range by letting them take y% extra damage on weakpoints, to make up for lack of sentry damage
The idea here is to give engineers a second option that still fulfills the same roles the sentry does: battle alerting and damage done
Lack of ammo required is a potential issue, but it could have some sort of ammo or fuel if that dial is required to make it balanced
It would give a higher level of situational awareness, but I see that as potentially equaling the fact that it still requires outside input to actually get damage value

I might be playing it wrong but I feel engi's shotgun is vastly inferior choice to smg. It takes less effort to aim at glyphids mouths in succession, has more ammo per clip and more ammo overall and hence can clean a swarm of glyphids a lot better then a shotgun even with full auto (good luck even aiming with that). Can something be done to remedy that?
Unless shotgun is better to deal with bigger enemies somehow but I didn't yet notice. Like scout's assault rifle vs sniper rifle

I think it would be nice to have the option to lock the drop pod button to the host only. It's rather annoying when someone ends the mission early when you want to track down a couple more fossils

New Elite Enemy: The Bulk Shelback, AKA __ The Q'ronar Rockeater__
Description: A large Q'ronar shellback with a black, spiked shell. The soft underbelly is moderately bioluminescent and lined with tooth like projections, As it rolls, it widens any existing tunnel to its own width, creating a sound similar to rocks be crushed as it does. Like a Glyphid Dreadnaught, their armor is regenerative, how ever breaking it puts them in a stunned state for a brief period, in whcih the underbelly is exposed. While stunned, they will fling rocks that they have injested while burrowing in all directions which can serve to be a very dangerous hazard to any dwarf who hasn't made getting to a safe distance a priority. While in their armored rolling state, any dwarf unfortunate enough to be directly rolled over by them will immeditely have thier shield disrupted and be put in temporary downed state for 6 seconds and be marked as the priority target for all near by Glyphids and Macterra, as they are attracted to the now easy prey. As it rolls, it also leaves a shallow groove and flattens any surface bellow a certain hieght that is in its way.

I'd like to paint my armor. As a supporter some of the duller colored Mk.5 armor alternatives don't look that appealing compared to my shiny golden space suit.

Okay so...Karl. Why not add a ghostly apparition in solo play? Similar to Herobrine from Minecraft? Like in solo play you could hear a faint & distant "Over here! Can I get some attention?!" Whisping in from a distant cave system..
Also an enemy that stalks the MULE & tries to mug you as you deposit and tries to scurry back into a burrow afterwards, giving you a narrow window to kill it in, & if you do, get a bonus of materials plus whatever it swiped from you, the slippery s**t.

Its clearly a bug that you can do this but it is also a unintentioanl reference to the classic movie Dr Strangelove unless it is totally intentional in which case why isn't there an achievement for it
And another one for standing on the minehead when its launched a snarky commend about abandoning your team by leaving the mission early

Kinda makes me wonder how they're able to run games at 60FPS on the switch? they have some pretty good games too.. but still. DRG does run a little warm..

I’d like to point that I ran DRG with a toaster before. A toaster that ran DRG without a graphics card, a shitty processor, and no actual good components. Also I mean the switch runs ARK as well

It runs at 30fps
Running DRG at 30fps isn’t hard

On haz 5 it might not run as well

I can tell if a game is 60+
a typicaly tv is 60 hz refresh rate.. meaning console games can only output 60 fps
I have a 144hz refresh rate monitor.. meaning even though it'll look like 60 fps.. it's doing more than that
the refresh rate determines a lot

The issue is... would DRG do well on the switch? I mean people who already own the game might buy as they can play it on the go, but it might not reach to the switches audience

Probs not.. The switch is still a small console with limitied storage.. the game still runs warm even on my rig. I can aonly assume the switch will just hot ass all hell and crack the vent again when people noticed their switch's vent were getting cracked after a year or so
I'd like to see it; however, we need to consider cross-platform gameplay with the switch.

The switch may have limited storage, but micro sd cards can be inserted
And I didn’t know peoples vents were getting cracked that’s something I will look out for thank you

otherwise I don't think the DRG team will have enough time to do business with Nintendo with their current workload

I would love to see a system like pokemon rescue dungeon where if you fail, you can request a rescue from another player and continue where you left off. For the rescuer, all you'd have to do is get to the same spot they did and revive 1-4 npcs. When this happens, a drop pod is called and the npcs run to the drop pod. You however can continue and get the rest of the minerals and complete the mission or leave right then. It would be the exact same seed as the other mission that failed, but as if no one was ever there for simplicity. I think that would be a cool thing as an endgame. Where you can rescue other people.

Yes as others have said, I'd like to see more Ale. Perhaps 1 that would be beneficial for each type of mission. For example, you could make one that lets you carry large objects faster (in addition to the perk) to make it worth using in point extraction. Having more beneficial ale would let us choose which mission to do based off of the drink of the day.
My wife also told me to tell you that she'd love to see a female dwarf option...not sure how that would translate into the game, but women play this too.
And last but not least, I'd like to see at least a 5th class that was some sort of healer/support class. They could have an ale launcher that shot beer at people and healed them, or an AOE healing field tool/grenade that they could launch down in big fights, etc. A lot could be done with this though I'm not sure if you have any plans or a desire to add more classes.

@cyan yarrow , devs could make healer more useful by debuffing red sugar. Honestly, for me even in the fantastic world of DRG red sugar were looking too strange - a couple of crystals could in fact fix broken bones, injuries and wounds
But healer could transform the energy of sugar to heal dwarfs directly, like in TF2
@pine path, that’s actually good idea, but what devs gonna do with detonator? Its too slow even in regular mode, and his giant version would have a snail’s speed

Access to the options menu before loading into the space rig area. This isn't a big deal for high spec computers but mine can only run the game smoothly on low settings. As a result it was extremely taxing to get into the space rig on first launch and lower the quality settings. It'd be nice if some consideration was given for low spec computers and we had access to settings such as graphics before a world filled with 3d models was loaded. Or at least lower the default quality settings from ultra to medium or something.

@solemn stag @turbid stream that mission idea could still work, but play it halfway between a salvage and a point extraction.
Mission starts, medical platform sent down. Map is structured like an egg hunt or mining mission with either an interconnecting tunnel network or several offshoots that do not connect to each other.
Specialized M.U.L.E. deployed, designed to carry injured dwarf as well as minerals.
Players search for dwarf. once found, call over M.U.L.E. which will automatically retrieve dwarf (maybe with the help of two medical Bosco's. Bosci? What is the plural of Bosco?). Swarm will arrive as they attempt to save dwarf.
M.U.L.E. can only hold one dwarf at a time and will return to the platform extraction style with the accompanying hordes.

How bout Pocket minerals counting as deposited? it makes no sense that it's just dumped.
jaunty summit
New Utiility options
Gunner Zipline option Rope gun Shoots a line out that sticks in a wall and dangles a climbable rope down a vertical (or near vertical surface
Driller Drill option Blast charges. Shoots out a charge that after a moment blows a hole in a wall via a shaped charge. If any minerals were in the location they explode outward and are able to be collected.
Scout Grappler option Rocket Boots. Short duration flight but if you use it all up you fall. Fuel replenishes over time.
Engineer Platform gun option Teleporter pads.

we should have the option of still viewing the map and rotating the camera when dead. Dx

add actual seatbelts to the drop pod ._.

If damage is added as a scoreboard stat at level end, please put something like "damage dealt without overkill" and "damage dealt with overkill." (meaning both side by side)
lyric haven
A way to rate players especially late joiners. With options like "Friendly" "helpful" or "Called drop pod without completing secondary objective" "Called drop pod without confirming everyone was ready"

Just a thought off the cuff, how about different dreadnaught and bulk detonator types for different regions? I understand praetorians, goo bombers and exploders are somewhat tailored to each region; so maybe XL enemies could also be altered to make swarms and bosses feel more varied to the environment... For example, radioactive bulks (as per their exploder counterparts) or frost dreadnaughts that freeze and slow on AOE/ranged attacks...

Can we get an audio option to turn off/change volume of the mission control guy and the dwarf callouts

Oh yeah a good suggestion since this comes across an issue for players like me who run into good players for haz 5 grinding
- make it so that we can find the players we play with in the Steam's Friends > Recently played > DRG
since there isn't a way to add them on Steam in-game and it's quite frustrating since Steam friend finding option does suck overall
Also; the Mission control text box overlay when you begin a mission can be bothersome on Haz 5 PE missions where I need to see the ceiling.. Is there an option to remove mission control text boxes or otherwise making the text box more transparent upon mission start?

A direct nod to Aliens - a mode where you need to dive into a Glyphid Hive to search for lost dwarfs (I'm not saying you're looking for Karl, but..) you have to dig them out of the wall, the AI follows one player, or they have to carry them in a cocoon (just like a big gem) to a heavily armed drop pod where you're team faces the maximum dakka challenge. Something to enforce maximum team work with unique hazards (walls grabbing players, abundance of Cave leaches, etc.) Just for a little narrative driven game mode! 
glacial laurel
make it so some/most/(all?) of the gassses, spores, and goops in the bog are flammable, thatd be neato. those poison gas ones that puff when you walk similar to the toxin grenade came to mind

Ive noticed a fair amount of talk about sandwiches and i was wondering about a possibility for the abyss bar to sell sandwiches. nothing special i just want to eat sandwiches after seeing a lot of text about sandwiches.

Adding a variation in objective for each mission type. by servooo posted this at July 2, 2019 at 10:55PM : https://trello.com/c/422sdCdN

when the drop pod takes off it should blanket the area in fire, incinerating whatever swarm was chasing you

@wintry anvil this isn't the channel for suggestion discussions. You want #suggestion-discussion

I was thinking about implement new difficulty within the deep dive where no lights and no flair at all!
However the dwarves could use this kind of scanner to visualise their environment!
Otherwise could also use this kind of things or bosco to view by echolocation!
@0:44 could be a dreadgnought? ;)

Bosco cosmetics. Unlock basic ones with upgrades. Give him a hat and other stuff with cosmetic store.

@bleak veldt don't post in here unless you're placing a suggestion please. If you want to discuss ideas, take it to #suggestion-discussion

A bag for put red sugar?
Save some for use in an emergency.

I've had this Idea for a vehicle based section of the game. Takes place in an asteroid belt, every player is in the same mining ship operating a different feature. Driller is mining resources, gunner fires the weapons and shields, engineer runs life support systems and engines and all that good stuff, and scout can pilot and navigate

Id love to see a trailer of Bosco wondering the space rig, then the Dwarf Bunk's doors open and Bosco comes up and has a cautious inspection of you, then cut to shit tonnes of action scenes with Bosco on the frontlines, explotions, ending with you saluting and Bosco melting you're heart with his lil' salute back.
