Another Pick up mechanic suggestion: Why not having a double action system were you first maintain E to grip / stay attached against the stem of the boolo or the side of the fossil (to cancel simply release e) then you have to use your pickaxe button in order to uproot/disclocate the boolo /fossil. That way you still get the feel that you are still here in the mine to unearth things, that you are extracting stuff for the compagny.
@cunning yacht I mean might as well happy bro they want us to move away from a quick pick anyway

Adjust the damage multiplier of Micro Fletchettes from x0.5 to x0.58 and increase the amount of ammo it gives you by 30 rounds
Right now the Five Shooter OC built properly does nearly everything a Micro Fletchettes can do but better.
The above changes to Micro Fletchettes result in the following:
Paired with all damage mods, hollow-point, and 6 burst you will be able to hit breakpoints for Glyphid Slasher and Mactera Spawn
The added 30 bullets increases the max number of shots from 55 to 60(For reference, a 1 ammo upgraded Bulldog with Five Shooter has 50 shots)

I wasn't sure how I would search this to check if its been posted already. but how about bosco being able to deliver beer in missions? Obviously the buffs wouldn't stack and you could double or triple the cost to balance it a little. also it could be a fun way to incorporate a couple of the joke beers into missions but that might cause some weird exploits.

I've seen a lot of community input regarding the idea of a new Medic or "Healer" class and have been thinking about ways for two currently existing classes to take up that role without having to spend too much dev time creating a whole new Class
- Create an Overclock or Mod for the Gunner shield to give it a small passive HoT while inside the Dome to incentivise grouping up around your gunner and holding a strong defensible position
- Make an Overclock or Mod for the Engineer's PGL that slightly decreases the initial impact damage of it's shots while leaving the impact area glowing a slight red, giving Dwarves that enter it a quick burst of health that does not stack again upon entering

New perk ideas:
FOOTWORK (3 levels):
Removes speed penalty for hitting enemies in melee. Killing big enemies in melee combat applies a 10% movement speed bonus for .5perLevel seconds if your current shield is at 0.
FORTITUDE (2 levels):

SLEIGHT OF HAND (4 levels):
Weapon swap animation is 20+10perLevel percent faster and reload time is reduced by 4+2perLevel percent for primary and secondary weapons.
SKULLCRUSHER (3 levels):
Store one additional charge attack. Killing big enemies in melee combat restores 1perLevel seconds of current charge attack's cooldown.

Melee weapons. Replaces pickaxe. Basic idea is to provide some gameplay variation to melee attacks to make melee slightly more viable, at the cost of reducing efficiency in mining and terrain manipulation, meaning that the pickaxe remains the most utility-focused and balanced while these weapons are more specialized for combat. While it's possible these could be entire new weapons with their own upgrade trees, I'm only going to suggest for now that they simply be treated as variations that use the pickaxe upgrade tree. Perhaps even a final "tier" of upgrades which can affect their appearance, if that's even possible, although this would necessitate some kind of upgrade for the pickaxe as well in order to enable switching back (perhaps an armor break mod?)

Have diversified loot bugs, according to biomes, or aleast a big, glowing loot bug filled with an aquarq in theses missions
And that's minor, but have morre precise name for the praetorians, in glacial strat it's frost praetorian, so in radioactive zone it should be radiation one, in other biomes, acid ones. And also make fire praetorians for the magma core biome 😄

What do dwarves like? Values and loot of course. But what do they love most? VERY RARE values and loot!(I think everybody knows about the importance of the Arkenstone for the dwarves of middle-earth).I propose to add to the game a number of rare gems that can be found during the missions(Also they might drop from huuli hoarder). The rare gems collected in this way can be placed in showcases that can adorn the Hall of Fame.I'm sure most people like to collect rarities, especially real Dwarves !

Another suggestion for a "bunker buster" mob: It's an idea i have gotten while reading the rule sets for the Trygons tyranid (long story short it's a tunnel making beast that also allows other smaller critters to use it's tunnel) and i wondered. Instead of another tunnel digging mob in DRG turning the map into a cheese fest, why not creating a mob that use the exact same behavior than a menace (aka digging/teleporting in different locations) and have one of it's main attack would be to dig/tp as close as possible to the dwarves then make a bigger digging out animation and sound than the menace currently does and spawn a small number of swarmers with him (the animation being big enough to cover the spawning in order to not break the immersion). It will then try to claw and/or flee in order to repeat the process. the advantages of having a mob like that is that the devs can bypass the map ending up being a giant cheese fest with tunnels everywhere while providing a mob that the bunker users have to respect without being bs (since it would have a sound and animation queue telling of it's arrival).

Armor tier upgrade option for Gunny/Driller: "Pack Mule" allows the dwarf to carry upto two heavy items (one under each arm), while only carrying one they can still use their side arm, and when carrying two they are slowed even more than normal and 'toss' distance is massively reduced. If this upgrade is selected, movement speed base is slightly reduced.
Engy/Scout armor upgrade: "Light Pack" while carrying no heavy objects or minerals, movement speed is increased above normal base movement speed, but speed is decreased to normal as they pick up items, and heavy items slow them more than if this upgrade was not equipped

Suggestion: certain modifiers should not happen for certain game modes, like Low Oxygen on Point Extraction, or Haunted Cave on Elimination, or, that if those combo's do pop up they should give a larger difficulty boost modifier as they increase the difficulty of such missions disproportionately to other mission types with the same negative modifier. This could also include reducing neg modifier boost on some mission types where the neg modifier isn't going to increase difficulty (like Parasites on Point Extraction as the mine head turrets basically solve the problem)

When hitting the 'call buttons' have the 'hold e' portion be an animation of the dwarf winding up his arm a bit before slamming his fist down on the button, maybe even have the button 'squish in' when this is done, as it'd make sense that the button wouldn't be super easy to push in so rocks falling at times wouldn't trigger it unless it were a really big rock

I know weapon specs change all the time and that may be in the pipeline but waht if we could have grenade specs to unlock. Giving more options on how big the aoe or single target damage on a grenade would give us more to unlock but also change up the impact of grenade modding. Adding different debuff or buff options would also be cool.

Alternate support tools for each class
-Gunner Shield alternate: Ammo Crate, allows him to deploy a crate of ammo, that when players reload near it, it depletes a set amount depending on the weapon being reloaded, and does not consume reserve ammo from that weapon (essentially free reloads until the crate depletes), recharge does not start until crate is depleted, but crate can be picked up if no reloads have happened near it
-Driller C4 replacement: Bore driller, placeable drill unit, that digs in a strait line until it runs out of power or takes too much damager, after placing you adjust it up or down using laser pointer by 'targeting above or below where the drill points, then turn it on by meleeing it
-Engy Turret replacement: Electrostatic field generator, deflects ranged enemy attacks, reducing their accuracy, and stuns mactera that get to close by interfering with their wings, engy only has so much battery power to supply it, otherwise functions similarly to a turret in the deploy/recall process
-Scout Flare Gun replacement: Torchbot, a heavily salvaged bosco unit, no arms or turrets, but a constant light source (about 75% the range of the bosco light upgrade) that's direct with right clicking with the laser pointer, including assigning it to follow a dwarf, can be recalled to follow scout by holding right click with laser pointer for 2 seconds. Light bulb burns out every so often requiring replacement by left clicking it with the 4th option out while it's close enough, scout only has so many bulbs and they are replenishable with ammo supplies

Zipline suggestion: When carrying a heavy object, instead of clipping to the zipline as the dwarf you attach the heavy object to the line to zipline on it's own, making moving of heavy objects much more convenient with good zipline placements, and allowing a dwarf to continue gathering even after getting one heavy object (would help a ton on point extraction and salvage, leaving a dwarf's hands free to deal with threats if needed) could even work as an alternate upgrade in the same tier as the reduced fall damage upgrade

vernal breach
I think a lot of the Breach Cutter’s issue lies in the fact that groups of enemies are not typically coming at you in straight lines, as they’re crawling across walls and ceilings that you can’t shoot parallel to because you’re bound by gravity. This makes it hard to make maximal use of its penetrative abilities.
To make the weapon more workable in general situations without sacrificing what makes it unique, why not decrease the width of the beam but give it more maximum ammunition? This would make it stronger in oddly shaped caverns without specifically making it better or worse than the Deepcore grenade launcher.

Displaying beer items on a different line from the other rewards is good. But please keep the font the same size instead of making it smaller. The old size was already perfect.

When new items are acquired the equipment menu needs more of those little red "!" icons to draw player attention to what is actually new. If you get a new overclock for instance it won't tell you what weapon or class it is for and you have to "hunt" them all down before the equipment terminal will stop displaying the new equipment message.

Weapon ideas that I hope make it into the game
Digger
Main - Chemical/radiation thrower ( Think Symmetra beam gun)
Second - Microwave pistol (Does fire and small explosive chances, like a wave, think the mesmetron from Fallout 3)
Engineer
Main - Crystal gun - (Think the needle rifle from Halo Reach, I think?)
Second - Flak Cannon (Think roadhog gun but with explosives)
Gunner
Main - Belt fed shotgun ( Thing heavy auto shotgun from metro 2033)
Second - Laster pistol (Your standard ray gun, think Fallout 4)
Scout
Main - Gauss battle rifle ( An auto rifle that can use more rounds and do more damage if being held down like the sniper)
Second - Propulsion gun (Think a close range miniature jet engine that can push things back and do a tiny bit of fire damage, but isn't like the range/damage/sticking fire of a flame thrower...More like holding a rocket and burning them on the propulsion)
Suggested class ideas weaponry?
Medic
Main - Sonic blast gun (Think that strange Lucio sound gun?)
Second - Nano mite wrist cannon (Firing at a friend can heal for a tiny amount, and the shield for a tiny amount, Or damage monsters over time, like a poison or flame?)
Number 3 - Red Sugar injector (A little rechargeable health needle that can heal a team mate to like half health)
Number 4 - Buff field generator (Make people a little tougher, make them a bit faster...Depends how you've specked it)
Blaster
Main - Miniture cluster rocket cannon (Like a small assult rifle that fires little rockets that end up exploding after a certain distance, like a flak cannon)
Second - Rocket Launcher (Fires a large heavy duty possibly lock on rocket that does a decent amount of damage but can be a bit slow)
Number 3 - Blast digger (Something to be placed onto the wall, think the c4 charge, but blasts a cluster bomb that digs into the wall for a few meters, or towards enemies if thrown and detinated
Number 4 - Shoulder mortar (Can fire a mortar from a small distance that can do a bit of damage to a crowed, but won't detinate if you're stupid enough to fire it in a small area, just kinda hit the wall and round will be a dummy)

A game mode idea:
Pest Control
Concentrations of nests in the area have caused a great deal of pain for teams in previous missions. Your job will be to locate these nests and to eliminate the enemy at its source. Find the nests and destroy them by any means necessary, but be prepared to be faced with great resistance as you take them down. You'll be going up against nests of Grunts, Praetorians, and Mactera. Each nest that's taken down will have a subsequent assault wave mainly consisting of whatever species of Hoxxes you eliminate the nests of. Once you've eliminated all threats and the nests neutralized, press the button on the Mule to call back the Drop Pod. Good luck gentlemen.

So, there was a bug where Molly starts to Pace in place while the team is freaking out trying to get to the pod. It's rare now, but a good failsafe is to open the pod at 30sec left. However, I think we should make this bug a feature. Molly may rarely(1/30 chance per mission) break down and need minor repairs, like the mini mule objectives. Could make things a spontaneously more intense.

Add new "voicelines" for Bosco's new skins. A cute (and stupid) little NINJA scream when he attacks while wearing the Cyber Ninja skin for example. Voicelines for Iron Will would be a nice addition too imo, to translate the effort of the dwarf so close to fail his mission. Lines to show the efforts. Something like "Leave no stone unturned !"

Add new achievement, named "alcoholic".
To complete the achievement, you need to drink 1000 pins of beer. After completion, the player is given the opportunity to take a glass of beer with him on a mission. If he does not drink beer during the mission, then with the success of the mission, appearing at the base, he still has a mug in his hands. On the mission, the circle should appear if you press the B button. As an additional slot for weapons. Special bag for one serving of beer.

Currently a cargo crate is the better huuli hoarder. Not so rare (?) And guaranteed minerals, no accidental set off.

How about we make huulis wanted again. Now they also hoard beer materials (plants keep untouched) Greedy buggers!

After having played with the changes to the Driller and switched to different classes for comparison, I'd like to make a suggestion that the primary guns of other classes be looked at and perhaps balanced around the new flamer. As the gunner in the team, one would think they would be the best at killing, but.....I'd place them at second to last.
The flamer can easily out-damage a leadstorm and thunderhead due to its innate armor bypass and multi-enemy hits. It is also an area damaging attack which means precision is "close enough" with a powerful DoT rather than the "if I shoot even more bullets, I'll eventually kill something."
The leadstorm and thunderhead being so inaccurate at mid-long range means, well, you're a worse driller in crowd-slaying. I've tried numerous builds and even my own, but no matter how I mod the thunderhead or leadstorm, they both kill WAY slower than the flamer and rely more on luck and bullets upon bullets than skill. Even with the accuracy mods, they sacrifice damage and/or ammo for next to no felt gains in kill time.
The Engineer has the turret and can sometimes even out-kill the gunner with it.
The scout seems a good balance between power and accuracy given their mobile nature.

The game doesnt need any more balance changes for now or any more changes to cores or any more buffs or perks. It just needs more pure content... More things to do in each mission, multi level missions where the objectives layer and actually make you feel like you are achieving and progressing through a mission (kind of like the salvage mission). It would me great to have a mission that involved DRG attempting to set up some sort of mining base for the first time. So gathering certain materials (maybe just rock and metal, not just special minerals) and then setting that base up while defending waves. After the basic base has been set up you then have to set up the communication equipment and the mules or something. I think it would be a great addition to have a mission where we are creating or establishing something.

The other day I was thinking about some kind of "stealth mission" based on sound produced. That would take place in sand corridors where we would have to dig "silently" (eg. with moderate use of the driller and explosions) to avoid a dangerous blind monster, a kind of giant worm which can "swim" in the sand or dig very rapidly in the direction of any sound. The goal would be to quickly recover some kind of treasure in a specific place like the egg hunt but without fighting big swarm, just that big blind thing and some glyphid swarmer which can be killed using pickaxes.

The Driller's HE grenade needs some tweaking. It is somewhat difficult to use because it has a long fuse and the grenade bounces a lot. Here's what I would suggest:
- Give the grenade more weight/friction. It could be my imagination but it seems to bounce more than other grenades.
- Change the fuse to a delayed impact fuse instead of a pure time fuse. The grenade arms itself after 1 second, but it will only explode when it hits something. This stops you from hurting yourself at short range but lets you place the explosion with precision because it will detonate exactly where the throwing indicator says it will instead of bouncing. Since it doesn't have a maximum duration you can also throw it further than other grenades which gives it a bit more utility, kind of like a handheld PGL.
- Increase the number carried to 6 instead of 4 to match the gunner's sticky grenades.

As more long-term counterpart to my previous suggestion I think you should make HE grenades a generic throwable that can be used by all classes and give the driller something more unique to replace it. This could be a number of things but the most useful for the current driller would be a secondary mining tool that can complement or replace the C4, or a traversal tool that helps drillers cross open gaps.
Couple ideas:
-
Graviton Grenade: This grenade creates a cloud of graviton filled nanoparticles that stick to friend and foe alike. Dwarves passing through the cloud benefit from lower gravity while in it, and for a few seconds after leaving which can allow for fast sprints and soaring jumps. Enemies experience the opposite effect and are crushed by amplified g-forces. Enemies on walls and flyers will be pulled down and take fall damage while large enemies are pinned to the ground and crushed as their own weight is used against them.
-
Concussion Grenade: Small, but packing a large punch these cube shaped grenades emit sonic waves that fracture solid rock in a large radius around them. This is followed after a few seconds by a powerful expanding shockwave that pulverizes the fractured ground and can send enemies and dwarves flying. Similar to C4 in terms of digging, doesn't deal direct damage but can ragdoll aliens and hurl them into walls or off cliffs. Can also be used to "rocket jump" in a pinch.

I like the fact that you can join clans now (cave crawlers for life) but i would really like to see this idea get expanded on a bit, specifically clan rewards. The ability to level up and gain notoriety in a clan is very cool to me also clan specific armor and skins would be a very cool touch. Better yet what about player created clans and emblems? I'm not sure why but the idea of various dwarf chapters with different strengths and weaknesses is incredibly interesting kinda like something from Warhammer 40k. We also need a pet loot bug for the ship, just saying.

Mission Mode idea: Truffle Run. In this mission Molly is replaced with Boaris, a literal boar, whom the team must protect as they move him through the caves sniffing for rare Hoxian Truffles. May occasionally dig up eggs that spawn waves. Boaris has hp, and takes damage, so the team must protect him while also trying to dig for materials and find them truffles. When the main objective is completed, the pod will be immediately called by Mission Control, at which point the players need to escort Boaris to extraction. He cannot crawl up walls or the like, like Molly can, however he can make use of ziplines and small jumping platforms. Boaris can eat a number of objects/items to heal, or temporarily buff him depending on the item consumed,
Things that could be dug up:
-Truffles (the objective)
-Eggs (spawns a wave of enemies, can be 'deposited' for bonus credits)
-Hunks of Minerals (not 'compressed' items, but could include smaller jadiz chunks and 'unripe' enor pearls. He will not eat minerals unless it is Red Sugar. Could look like bigger bits of 'bag full' mining drops)
-Beer Plants (he'll try to eat these slightly faster than other dig ups, don't let him eat too many!)
Edible items/effects
-Truffle: Heals him quite a bit, but is also the objective and while he can dig up more at times, letting him eat these makes the mission take longer
-Egg: Heals a small amount, makes Boaris aggressive for a short while making him lash out at and charge enemies that get too close to him, if he kills a glyphid in this state, he will eat it, increasing the duration slightly and healing him slightly
-Red Sugar: Heals Boaris a small amount and makes him move notably faster, both walking/digging, and decreases the amount of time it takes him to start chowin' down after digging up something he can eat
-Beer Mats: Do not heal Boaris, but increasingly slow him down for a while (increases nommage delay after a dig up), after a certain point he'll stop 'following along' with the dwarves and randomly amble about in a drunken stupor, if he continues to eat them, he'll eventually pass out and need to be guarded through a wave for him to regain consciousness

Beer materials should spawn in deep dives

I just had a Point Extraction where a Tritilyte deposit had spawned on a floor right above the Minehead. When activated, it spawned the Bomb Dispenser right next to the minehead, but there was no way for me as a Scout to carry them back up there, since I'd used the Grapple to get to it. A Swarm also happened to start right after I'd begun the Machine Event. But even without that Swarm, I had no time to dig a tunnel to where the Deposit was, so I had to abandon it.
In order to prevent this from happening, I'd suggest giving an indication of where the Dispenser will drop when we use the key to pop the lasers out, but before they've been activated to start the timer. Just an outline like the ones the Drop Pod and Minehead make before arriving, or something similar to the Supply Pod beacon. That way you can prepare a route for carrying bombs, even when going solo as a Scout.

Update 26 Suggestions:
-What: Specific (drink) crafting plants/materials more abundant in certain areas. Ex: Malt Stars on Glacier Strata (Abundant, Scarce); Advertised on mission terminal map, just like the minerals are.
Note: Not location specific on a whole, but more abundant or scarce in certain areas.
Why: I have put in roughly 20hrs in since update 26 and noticed the RNG for plant materials are currently a hard hit or miss. Currently out of those 20 hours of farming for plants I've been able to amass an unbalanced amount of: 145 Starch Nuts, 19 Malt Stars, 13 Yeast Cones, and 43 Barley Bulbs. I haven't noticed any amount collection difference between Hazard Levels even after patch.
-What: Drink recipes need some alteration. As said above, since its quite difficult to get the materials needed for specific drinks, I have noticed in speaking with players they have been amassing certain ingredients more than others because the "rarer" plant ingredients like stars and cones, are required in most drinks. The recipes could use some alteration or become less expensive.
Why: In-between missions, its not as common to be able to hang around and goof off with your team or celebrate after a mission. Rarely have I seen others buy drinks anymore for the team or others just don't care. You see many walk up and attempt to buy a drink but walk away since they cannot afford them. It's taken the fun out of lobby parties and celebrations since its become more "resource management" to the players now. The general consensus I've found others say is also that the Oily Oaf, and Glyphid Slammer have lost their glamour, now that there are drinks that make things fun and entertaining. It's become somthing mundane that some just leave the drinks there as they dont provide any purpose.
-What:
- Bar Menu alteration with the addition of a "Mystery Brew" (from all the spill run off, of course.) That costs credits and not materials. Does a random Effect. Corporate Issue.
- Charge credits for the daily special rather than a material. Makes buying the drinks more casual and fun rather than resource management, and early players can join in on the fun.
- The addition of a random "Todays Special" Craft(able) beer that costs credits instead of Materials. So that everyone can get involved and celebrate.
Why: As stated above, the amount of Celebrations, and lobby fun has gone down as of late, as its become more of a grind and resource management. Losing its enjoyment

More Zipline-like Ziplines
The ziplines provided by DRG need a bit more "zip" in my opinion. Perhaps holding the sprint key/button while on a zipline would disable the player's zipline traversing motor and make them slide along the line. The steeper the angle of the zipline, the faster (of course you'd need to accelerate first). Re-enabling the motor could serve as a brake, as going too fast at the end of the line could be dangerous (perhaps damage you if you hit a wall or the floor too hard). Additionally, if two ends of ziplines are close enough while you're sliding, you'll auto-connect to the next track while preserving momentum. This could allow players to essentially form zipline roller coasters to make traversing large, downhill areas quicker.
(A simple zipline hook/motor model would be nice too.)

The ammo gauge needs to be more granular. I can expend all of my primary ammo, half of my secondary ammo and all of my grenades, but the indicator still says 2/4 bars which fails to adequately convey my supply situation.
I would suggest making it more detailed, have two rows of four bars. The top row measures primary ammo, the bottow row secondary ammo. For each 25% of your ammo you expend another bar will disappear, zero bars indicates you have none at all. Non-scout classes could have a third bar measuring ammo for their traversal tool. How many grenades you have could also be displayed such as 2/4, or 1/6 depending on what kind you have.
Also as people have mentioned many times there should be a toggle to make ammo bars visible at all times.

gilded cypress
An energy weapon which doesn't consume ammo in the traditional sense - It's capable of overheating, and if it does a "magazine"/heat sink is consumed - putting a cap on its damage output but making it very sustainable if used correctly but very inefficient if the user is liabe to hold down fire in panic.
Mods could be tradeoffs between damage output, per-shot damage, heat generation, heat capacity, heat reduction, spare heat-sinks etc.
As to what the weapon would actually be, I think it'd be most appropriate for another primary for the Gunner - Some kind of gatling laser for example, but that sounds too close to the minigun in appearance and function.
Heat generation per shot could be slightly random to make it more challenging to use effectively - or this could be another mod for increased damage output or elemental damage.
It could have an "optimum range" within which its damage output, elemental effect(s), armour-breaking and/or armour penetration (Armour penetration sounds like the most unique) is maximised - diminishing somewhat if the target is too close or far - making the gunner using it more dependent on the driller and scout to deal with targets at closer/farther ranges.
Its beam/projectile would change colour/intensity when hitting targets inside this "sweet spot"

The drills of the driller should be able to tear through "organic" obstacles that litetrs some biomes with ease.

So, I enjoy the assignments (and deep dived) part of the game, it makes me do missions I probably wouldn't do otherwise, like a low oxygen point extraction or a haunted elimination. Also, it gives me a single mission to focus on, which means I don't have to look around at what seems best. So, a suggestion: have one mission always highlighted as a "Company Priority" or summat, and give it say +10% bonus. Also, longer missions. "ok boys, time to go grab 10 aquark, 300 morkite, 6 eggs, kill two dreads, and if possible grab us some bolos, apocas, and holomite!" Kind of thing that we are down in the deep for an hour or two at a pop.

Basically like an escort to 'fumigate' different parts of the map to help clear out areas to be mined a little safer down the line. I'd say it makes sense, since the toxin is obviously at least common enough to be given out as somewhat standard issue to drillers, and could probably be used to fumigate areas of particularly nasty amounts of the bugs. Every time you begin to fumigate there'd be a larger-than-average swarm, since when you kick a bugs nest, they usually come out looking for blood.

Since this hasn't been posted in any details might as well. What do you guys think about adding class related shoulder sleeves insignias for any current and future armor sets (similar to what tf2 characters have) ? Now i know some of you will ask what's the point of having those ! Basically the idea behind this suggestion is that there will be more armor set the further this game evolve be it complete unmodifiable sets or just like other people have suggested (knock on wood in hopes it becomes a reality) separate armor pieces with maybe even recolorations. But one of the biggest problem the devs are facing right now is that they have to keep the "silhouette" of each class in order to keep them recognizable making the creation of any future armor extremly difficult. This is why i suggest the addition of shoulder sleeves insignias for any current and future armor sets since it will provide a small but important way of recognizing the classes and hopefully allow for a larger artistic freedom for the devs and (down the line) for the players.

Remove the friendly fire from BET-C
BET-C is currently a liability.
It would be most useful for engaging targets relatively distant from the Dwarves.
As an alternative to outright disabling friendly-fire, checks to prevent BET-C from engaging targets within 25m of dwarves - If there are no targets outside that range, it only uses its machineguns instead of AOE attacks.

Plasma Bug:
Similar in appearance and size to Praetorians, but with a larger armoured mouth and "sleeker" armour that makes its weakpoint practically smaller, but offers more angles from which it can be hit when facing players.
Turns around and exposes its weakpoint to fire a slow, heavily arced and somewhat inaccurate projectile from long range (Up to 75m) that detonates on impact with a ~5-10m radius, at 4RPM (Once every 20s).
Would show up infrequently alongside Praetorians, ~1/20 chance or rarer.
Radioactive variant with faster rate-of-fire, but projectile has a smaller radius and radioactive "explosion"

Hive Blitz:
New combat-focused mission type. A nest of Glyphid hives have been discovered in a deep cavern on Hoxxes. The company needs you to clear out this infestation to make way for a forward base.
Dwarves are dropped in to a series of larger caverns containing 3-7 Glyphid Hives. The hives are constantly (or in waves) spawning grunts, slashers, guardians and web-spitters. They are defended by several outlying spitballers, brood nexuses, patrolling praetorians and acid spitters. They are surrounded by environmental hazards such as Glyphid eggs or toxic gas pods. One of the hives is defended by a Dreadnought.
Hives are killed by first destroying a series of tendons. These are set in to its armoured shell, meaning they can only be engaged from specific angles (Similar to brood nexus weakpoints). Upon destroying them all, the armour will be shed exposing its "root". Alternatively, players can dig beneath the hive to access the root directly, but it takes explosive charges (Like the giant rock machine event) to damage from here.
The root's health regenerates after a delay, meaning players have to apply constant pressure.
Upon killing a hive, DRG will drop a bunker in its place. This will contain a resupply pod, an explosive charge dispenser, a red sugar dispenser and a single BET-C type turret on top.
The bunkers must be defended - Glyphids spawned by the closest hives after the capture of the first will constantly attack bunkers. If the bunker is destroyed, the closest hive will spawn an "infestor" type glyphid to re-establish the hive in its place. The fresh hive will take ~3 minutes to grow its armour and a further 2 for its defences.
Players can use Nitra to call in their own defences - (Minehead-type) Turrets (20), minefields (10), and BET-Cs (60 - Will patrol closest bunkers and not accompany players).

Nerf the damage of those Rock Glyphids, on H4 and 5 they only need 3 hits to kill you (or pop Iron Will) + you need to kill 10 per player and most go down after killing 2 or 3. Adding Berzeker + Vampire to all your classes just in case of a Rock Glyphid Machine Event, is a bit too much.

Two suggestions for making all in-game purchases (Overclocks, cosmetics, upgrades, beers, etc.) more user-friendly:
1) Allow users to "track" one or more planned purchases, and display the Minerals that a user has and how many are needed on the HUD
Why? Well, attempting to manage Minerals in the Trade console for the correct amount for a purchase results in users running back-and-forth to and from the Trade console. This is quite tedious and often results in many of us actually writing things down on paper or something. Tracked Minerals could be displayed on the HUD within missions as well as in the hub.
2) Allow users to make "deposits" of certain Minerals and Credits towards purchases instead of requiring ownership of all Minerals and Credits at the time of purchase
This will make purchases easier to track, and make goals more "do-able", in a way.

Perhaps add boss enemies into some elimination missions, or make them have a chance of appearing at random in other missions but don’t make then straight-up dps races. Give them some interesting mechanics, like a glyphid that requires you to destroy crystals around it (by putting them in an extractor) to damage it, or a boss that you have to deal X damage to/shoot X times to stun so you could toss a bomb provided by DRG at it. You can do a lot of interesting concepts without just turning it into shooting and only shooting the big baddy/lots of tiny bugs.

so....looking at that new prototype bunker clearer....if that's getting worked on, is the fact that enemies can hit us around corners/through walls/through the drilling rig and also phase through the ground/pull dwarves through pinholes going to be fixed as that's one of the main reasons I've started bunkering, is to avoid what feels like 'cheap' or 'unavoidable' damage and such as that would likely help alot with bunkering also, without punishing players for trying to find a way to deal with those cheap hits (also, maybe set a thing for enemy spawning that requires it to be a certain distance away from a dwarf, not just away from the host)

When deep dives run out of weapon overclocks to give you (because you already have all of them) the game should reward you a blank core, or reroll it as a cosmetic core instead of what it currently does which is give you a mineral cache. This keeps your overall progression at the same speed and gives you an incentive to do machine events more often.
There are roughly four times as many cosmetics as there are weapon overclocks, if you have been getting every possible drop since dives were added you should have about 50 weapon overclocks. You get 3 per week if you accomplish everything, so we are roughly 3-4 months away from running out of weapon drops, less than that if you are using your blank cores exclusively for weapons.

Idea for a competetive play
There are a few different ranks like in a lot of other games, bronze to diamond if you will
Every day/third day or so there is a new random generated dungeon of some sort. You can complete this mission maybe 3 times and the average time on mission, minerals, kills, deaths etc is saved. You then gain or lose rank points depending on your average.
Or, you can play this mission time and time again as many times as you like. You get rank points for beating the mission, minerals, kills etc. Every time you rank up, it gets more difficult. Maybe longer mission, higher complexity, higher haz (even higher than haz 5 maybe), more mutators such as haunted cave or parasites. Or it could be a timer to complete the mission that is decreasing. If you perform very poorly or fail, you lose points.
If you dont play in a set amount of time, rank starts to decay.
There could then be ranked cosmetic rewards, a leaderboard etc. I think this would attract a lot of the more tryhards and competetive players to strive for something.

I don't know if it's been recommended before, but maybe an event with a percentage chance depending on how deep you go wherein after you extract, your drop pod malfunctions and crashes back to the surface of the planet, and you have to hold out for a number of minutes as the DRG corp try and get another pod to you to fully extract. While you're waiting, they drop you resupply pods and you're faced with waves and waves of increasingly difficult enemy compositions and maybe some new flying enemies or something under the grim skies of Hoxxes IV.
I would love to see some colossal enemies too. I know we have the dreadnought but what about a Glyphid Queen, or a hive morphology on extermination missions? Just some more interesting and awe inspiringly large enemies that would really shake up a party on any expedition. I have a few suggestions but I don't actually know what is within reason to suggest.
Thanks for your time.

A suggestion to deal with bunkering. Some sort of mechanic or monster that can summon spikes on nearby terrain that will launch away after x amount of seconds dealing damage to anything in its path. This will inherently make them more dangerous in smaller tighter areas, such as bunkering. I made a little prototype video to easier show what I had in mind.
scarlet bolt
Add a hop on top of the Mine Head on PE missions; if you throw a big chunk in there, the hop collects the chunk (miner basketball)
trim helm
A suggestion for perhaps another type of explosive, to make some amount of variety that isn't quite there for the sticky grenade and the HE grenade (just for example).
All the explosives in game work basically the same way as far as I can tell, they just do damage in a radius, maybe replacing some of that damage with heat, maybe having different amounts of fear or stagger or whatever. But, they're all pure explosions, and other than leaving something behind like the Fat Boy's fallout, or the incendiary grenade's fire, they all handle basically the exact same.
Apologies if this has already been suggested, I tried to search it but couldn't find much. Could there be some merit in adding a Shrapnel focused explosion type? A frag grenade for the Gunner, maybe a mod or an overclock for the grenade launcher and maybe even the thunderhead?
The way I'd see it working would be using the same mechanic that we have with the magic bullets. About half (I think) of those overclock bullets will just find a target within range and shoot at it. Shrapnel explosives could spawn a certain amount of magic bullets that just go out and find a viable (glyphid) target, perhaps with a limited number of spawned bullets for a given arc so it isn't producing unreasonably focused blasts.
Shrapnel explosives would have worse values for explosion damage/radius, but would have a bit better single-target damage with those little homing projectiles that could also fly further than the strict radius of the grenade. This would making them handle pretty differently to other explosives in-game, and do great AoE damage up to a point, until there are too many enemies around the grenade and the shrapnel pieces are all used up. At that point they would fall off in performance compared to pure AoE. It might be a neat new niche in between pure AoE and pure single-target DPS.

Scale the union chapter rewards to active player counts.
This would mean the number of x tasks/minerals/kills needed would fluctuate until the chapter lock in timer is reached, when it is the set in stone for that period.
Ex:
If mighty miners has 30% of the total players in all unions they should be right at that baseline.
If Cave Crawlers has 60% of the total players in their union their goal should be increased to match (approx doubled).
If dirt diggers then has the remaining 10% of the player baser their goal should be cut to 1/3rd of thr base.
Exact numbers would fluctuate but that is the basic premise of this scaling goals suggestion

On previous topic of cave leeches, I have a suggestion regarding them.
Give them increased travel speed and add charge timer if their target is too close on vertical spectrum.
This way, players can avoid being instantly grabbed upon entering a corridor with 3m high ceiling if a leech happens to spawn there, and leeches can avoid being a nonfactor threat if they spawn so high up that a dwarf can just walk through its grab area safely.

IMU is now on its way to being forgotten.
The system is plain, the goals are boring and require you to rely on the RNG gods solely.
Feature is community oriented, so why not give it a community oriented revive?
Idea: GSG holds a contest. We submit ideas on the rework of union goals and the Union itself. GSG picks up the best variants. Everybody wins.
We, the people of Deep Rock Galactic, formally request the addition of a maggot server emote. Maggots are the most underrated bug on Hoxxes, they are essential to the ecosystem. They look like poop, they smell like poop. And what is being done? We're stepping all over them. Maggots deserve our respect, arguably more than loot bugs. The least we can do for them is acknowledge their existence in the form of a server emote.
Thank you, - The Union.

Bulk Detonators blow up terrain to dig. I would suggest that before they spawn there would be a modest amount of rumbling, followed by the embers appearing where they are going to spawn, then a few puffs of fire emerging from the ground, and finally a fire explosion as they emerge. I feel as though this would compliment the “character” of the enemy and provide players with sufficient warning to know a Bulk is near, gain some distance, and replace the few seconds of it just chilling in place.

Additional side note: Personally I believe the light area is balanced well in a general sense. But in the larger caves, they do struggle unless you shoot more than one in close proximity. Which eats away the ammo quickly. I'm finding my team-mates and myself wasting a restock just to fill up my flares even though the Primary and Secondary ammo is doing fine.

The Breach Cutter...
Of all the guns in the game that could need adjustments, I feel the Breach Cutter needs it the most, as it feels like it is severely underperforming (especially if you compare it to the usefulness of the PGL). It has extremely short longevity, and suffers from a plethora of QoL issues. So, here are some ideas:
Baseline adjustments:
- Mag: Up to 4 (from 2)
- Ammo: Up to 20 (from 12)
- Reload: Down to 2.5sec (from 3)
- Quick deploy: Baseline (i.e no delay)
- Double line: Baseline (for better accuracy)
Mods:
- Tier 1 ammo: +8 (from 6), so the damagechoice isn't superior in longevity
- Tier 2 magsize: Changed to -0,5 sec reload (could need a new name for the mod, obviously)
- Tier 3 projectile duration: Moved to tier 4 (as that's a "QoL" section), replacing Quick Deploy, since it was made baseline
- Tier 5 TCBOO: Merged with current Explosive Goodbye
- Tier 5 Explosive Goodbye: Now instead makes a small explosion from enemies killed by it
- Tier 5 (New Mod) Direct Current: Deals a bit more damage if both of its lines hit the same target - replaces Double Line, since it was made baseline
OCs:
- Yaw Man: Spins MUCH faster, almost looking like a disc (so it doesn't "miss" on the sides so often)
- High Voltage Crossover: -3 damage penalty replaced with x0,8 projectile lifetime
- Return to Sender: -4 max ammo penalty removed. Upon "returning", the lifetime of the projectile is reset. The return-effect is also ALWAYS there: Tapfire for a max range "back and forth". Hold for a manually adjusted distance (in case you want a shorter and quicker "back and forth"). Still holding the trigger when the projectile has reached its max distance will trigger the projectile recall as well, making it an easy max-range "back and forth" shot too.

Think about Christmas Event, please. It's almost same thing that Halloween, except assignment.
I suggest do a few thing for a next year:
- Remove presents on the missions and replace it with some kind of "holiday's cargo crates" - Managment order it for crew (Miner’s Union pressure to them), but something happens with the cargo ships, they crushed on planet, and we must retrieve our presents. “Taking back presents” could be a Interplanetary Miner’s Union’s Event – we need to collect some count of presents for every level of reward to unlock unique rewards, like cosmetics and skins for weapons. Last reward could be unique skin for armor – like a Santa’s suit, with red, white and golden details. It will be often – everyone do their best to retrieve a presents, and everyone takes rewards.
Or just make presents on a missions more "celebraty" - let it drop chunks of gold and nitra, crafting resources (1-2) occasionally, christmas candies that heal you for 3-5 HP. (Seriously, killing a lootbugs from Christmas gifts and it's not very consistent with the Christmas spirit) Replace Swarmers from gifts for chunks of coal - useless material. You know, "for a bad kids". - Place a Christmas-tree in Abyss bar. It could spawn small gifts every 24 hours until event will ends. The gifts contain some little rewards – 5 units of crafting materials, 1-2 units of beer ingredients etc. Nice little thing, I supose.
- Add some cheap Christmas drinks to bar – for example, eggnog.

So, I've notices pretty often the 'deposit bins' on the sides of the drop pod are almost always unreachable or will cause you to fall into the 'drill' area below the pod if you try and use them, so what I'd like to suggest is removing the rear bin (and making that be where molly docks into the pod) and adding what look like small conveyors that deploy out similar to the ramp/mine head ramps, that allow depositing along the entire length as they ferry the goods into the pod

I understand the need to balance the m1000 to give hip firing a more viable use case. Now that focus shots spend 2 bullets, I don't see the use of spending the extra time to use a focus shot when I can output all the damage needed with 2 hip shots. I personally preferred using the focus shot because I'm more of a sniper type than a carbine type. Asking to bring back focus shots spending only 1 bullet would bring imbalance back to hip shots vs focus shots. So why not a sniper focus class of weapon. maybe a M14 variant called the m14000?

The game in it's current state is great but sadly lack luster in between the early stages and the endgame. The beginning experience is fantastic, get to explore all the locations, mission types, classes, everything. The end game content is great right now, clearly because of the new update. But it has left the middle section a bit bland except for the two weapon unlocks. Maybe this is currently being worked on or maybe it's already noticed but just incase I felt like mentioning it as a player in this current middle stage that feels a bit grindy and repetitive. My actual suggestion being a bit broad but I simply suggest for "middle game" content, unlocks, progression, anything to make the middle stages more engaging.

When players are unreachable (bunkering, behind dirt, or otherwise) glyphids can burrow through the ground without destroying it, which they've been shown to be able to do when spawning. This will solve complete bunkering with engineer platforms blocking the entrance, but allows bunkering with a viable entrance. This would also solve the screams of the damned that you hear when bugs are trapped in the next room. Of course, this can be tweaked and tested as needed.

Breach Cutter OC: Tunnel Maker
- Unstable OC
- Line is now a ring
- Ring is 25% larger than default line
- Ammo is now only 4 total shots
- Clip size reduced to 1
- Ring can go through any terrain
- Ring carves out any terrain it passes over, its ring shape collapsing anything left from inside of the circular cut.
- Ring collapses into its center when it closes, cutting off the end of the tunnel and opening it.
- Ring life extended by 50%
The purpose of this OC is to improve the engineers mobility in exchange for taking away reliable damage. Although the engineer can largely get anywhere with his platform gun, it can take a while and may be dangerous. The ring would carve a smooth, sloped tunnel that would not require any jumping to traverse. It is a mobility option for quick escapes and/or speedrunning. This would not be a detriment to the driller because the engineer has so little uses of the breach cutter before needing a resupply, and because the ring travels on a set straight path. It cannot turn to make something such as a spiral staircase which the driller can do. It's also less suitable for shorter traversal such as getting up a ledge.

make it clearer, during the mission where you repair the robots, which timer at the end is the countdown to failure and which are the countdowns to objective... sit through all the timers staying alive then it just leaves and I lost the deep dive, after that I don't feel like playing for a while.. I rode the pod on the way out, the announcer congratulated me, but it still said failure and even though the console said I had finished the first mission, when I restarted it sent me BACK TO THE FIRST MISSION... forcing a loss via not being on the pod is really dumb anyway when the final series of objectives are all right on top of the pod.. if I've completed all the objectives, and they're all at the escape pod, that's a win

Hi! I've been playing since pretty early on into the game, I started around the time that the Glacier biome got added, but I've been trying out higher hazard level missions lately, and I've been feeling like the Nitra spawns are too frequent to make harvesting Nitra anything more than just tedious, since at the end of 4 player missions I usually have 230+ nitra without having to use any of it.
I think a good fix for this would be making resupply pods give only 40% refills instead of 50%, or maybe tweak the amount of canisters on a resupply pod, since 200% extra ammo for only 60 Nitra is too much.

its a super minor thing but id love it added anyway. i like the immersion and added difficulty of playing with your hud off, you just feel like you're in there. drg has amazing features for playing without a hud like ammo counters on guns, voice lines to indicate you are at mineral capacity or being able to follow molly to find the drop pod but while playing with the hud off, opening the map doesnt work. since there is already a 3rd person animation for looking at your pad it would be cool if checking the map was an actual animation of pulling the pad to your face and the map would appear on its screen. i think it would add immersion even while playing with hud and would allow those who like to play hudless to have even more fun. a change like this should not be a priority over adding new features and mission types but it would be nice to have

Pertaining to Sandblasted Corridors
WIND TUNNELS
- Wind Tunnels fire way too frequently (my personal opinion) and could do with an increase in the time it takes between stopping and starting again.
- Wind Tunnels should be able to get clogged by platform cannon platforms.
- Wind Tunnels could be collapsed, perhaps by two means: 1) shooting an interior thingy that breaks and causes a miniature cave-in, causing blockage; or 2) by using explosives within the tunnel.
Environment Addition
- Quicksand, when walked over, slows down all enemies and friendlies, including Molly, and can be lethal if a dwarf doesn't move enough.
- Sand Landslides, (acts much like Glacial Strata's Crevasse Cracks) when walked over or disrupted by explosion, will cause a landslide of loose sand to break away from solid ground and send dwarves or enemies careening towards its landing area. Has a initial delay before moving. Can be escaped via jumping or running the opposite direction of the slide.

If this isn't already in the plans with the new loadout selection updates, it would be amazing if loadouts could be selected from the class selection screen when attempting to join a lobby in progress.

I know I might be retreading old ground a little bit but I think the skins based on the old old versions of the weapons - and maybe scrapped designs for new guns which might not have gone through as many changes when compared to older weapons - should be obtainable as extremely rare weapon drops from crates, with some added rust effects and maybe some engravings and scratch marks which represent a bygone era of mining on hoaxes IV, like a small warning plaque or the obscured symbol of a previous mining company or retired squad. Maybe even a tag or markings which imply the weapon was taken from a deep rock mining company museum, the skin type name could be "Legacy", "Salvaged", "Artifact", "Junk" or "Prototype"

New locations.
Someone already suggest to use the moon of planet as new location. I thinks thats a great idea - new type of enemies, new minerals etc. It also could have a zero gravity for every mission. May be you could place anomalies on it. Or it could have a abandoned base on a surface.
But I also want to suggest a second type of locations - Asteroid Belt. In this location there are many flying parts of terra (asteroids), space trash etc. Dwarfs need to use small portable jetpacks for moving between them and mine resources that it contains. End of the map - some kind of anomaly gravitation field, or "space winds" or something else. New type of enemies, that moving in space between asteroids, and one new boss - Leviathan, some kind of big space whale that eats an asteroids (not actually in the mission, just a lore part) and gets angry when someone breaks into it's territory. Their liquidation also could be a new type of Elimination Mission - the flock of this boys could be serious threat for a Space Rig.
So, it all could be unlockable content for promotions/profile levels, and we will have:
- Classic planet surface missions for everyone.
- Moon Mission for "mid-levels".
- Asteroid Belt for "high-levels".
(or replace 2 and 3, it depends on difficulty and content)

For guns like that rely on "gauge-mechanics" (Lead Storm, EPC, Drills, Cryo Cannon): Maybe there could be a non-obstructive heat/pressure indicator close to the crosshair? Considering it's not particularly easy to see mid-combat (with all the movement and gun-shaking etc)

An Electromagnetic storm mutation of sorts. Sort of similar to shield disruption but happens occasionally throughout a mission.
So essentially the idea is every so often the storm would roll in and completely cripple your whole operation. I'm thinking it could turn your flashlight off for a bit, glitch out Molly maybe so you’d have to repair her before being able to deposit, turn off your shield, and for special cases like the engineer's turret and the extraction platform turrets could have a reboot sequence or something of the sorts. I think it’d be a pretty cool inconvenience to punish the dwarves over-reliance on their gadgets. Tiss all.
The flares and stuff would obviously be unaffected as i’m reasonably sure those are chemical and not electrical...

A return of the flood light called down via spending nitra. The flood light would only be callable on solo (not private, specifically solo) missions, and deep dives. This is because in both of these circumstances, there is lots of extra nitra to be spent. It's not uncommon to end a deep dive with over 200 spare nitra. The same applies to solo games since you only need ammo for yourself, and it also helps greatly when you aren't playing as scout. (because let's be honest, boscos tiny flashlight doesn't cut it!)

Balance thing:
Slashers. They have too much health. This isnt just me going "Oh they're too hard" No, i like the idea of slashers being a more glass-cannony kind of thing, thats good, great. But...They seem to have similair amounts of health to the regular grunt. I could just be going insane here, but i think they should have less health than a grunt, maybe just a tad more than a webspitter or something.
Guards. They're cool, but maybe have them do less damage, so that way that every variant has a role, Guards in the front, Slashers behind them, and regular ol' grunts just baseline for swarming.

It's interesting that dreadnoughts, depending on terrain can be a threat to new and experienced players alike, but you don't read complains about them.
While bulks are lame since the recent nerfs to experienced players and easily popped beforehand, but you either love or hate them. There are quite some requests to nerf them even more, even when experienced players don't see them as real threat except for corner cases.
The only difference: you know when there's a dread, either you pop them out of cocoons or you get them announced and with health bar.
Suggestion: make bulk detonators have a roar on spawn, maybe an announcement from mission control (no boss health bar though).
Could be worth a try on experimental?
flint haven
When you join a server as one character, that character persists if you pick another character through the equipment loadout screen. This becomes very irritable when you pick one class, switch to another in the equip screen, and then when after a mission you assume you have the same class, you realize at the beginning of a mission that you've reverted back to the class you joined the server as. This doesn't apply to the server owner, just the clients. It'd be nice if the class persisted no matter what screen it was switched through.
The radiation version of Praetorian is weak. Barely a threat. I tend to make jokes about waves of them because I don't have to move; They come close enough to fire their radiation aura, but the aura isn't big enough to reach me from where they fire it. Either the radiation aura needs to be bigger for them to be an actual credible threat, or they need to come closer to the player so that their attack actually hits a hunkering player.

Mutator Suggestions
M.U.L.E. Interference - Molly loses the ability to automatically follow, and her beacon randomly loses connection, causing her to stop in place until called again. Requires special attention be paid to the location of the M.U.L.E. to ensure miners adhere to proper mineral depositing guidelines.
Blinding Bugs - Due to the particularly stunning blows by the breed of Glyphids found in this cave, melee attacks against the player cause temporary blindness (~0.5 seconds). The effect can be refreshed by successive attacks. Requires miners to especially avoid contact with Glyphids, as a blinded dwarf lacks the awareness required to uphold Deep Rock Galactic’s combat guidelines.
Mitosis - Causes defeated Glyphids to split into two lesser Glyphids. For example, a defeated Praetorian will split into two slashers, which, upon defeat, split into four grunts, which will further split into eight swarmers. Wave spawn volume should be decreased to compensate for the potential number of created hostiles. Does not apply to shellbacks, trawlers, mactera, breeders, and stationary threats. Requires particular vigilance in regard to enemy focus on the part of miners, as defeating larger enemies in quick succession could cause an excess of hostiles, potentially causing failure to adhere to Deep Rock Galactic mission completion guidelines.

On the drilling rig missions where you do not get a Molly, I think having the option at mission select where you can enable the main rig station to have a health bar and when swarms happen you and/or your team needs to head back to it to protect it as the enemies will rush to destroy it and anyone near it. Give maybe an income or exp bonus for enabling the option and if the rig is destroyed then it will be a mission failure?

An Utility Ammo drop pod, that costs less Nitra than an Ammo pod. Flares, Platforms, Fuel and Ziplines have a better fill amount than if you currently were to call an Ammo Pod down.
OR
A balance upgrade to the Ammo perk of utility items. Ex: 30 platforms (I feel platforms are balanced well) is a lot compared to the Handful amount of Scout flares even with perk.
OR
A "recharge" perk would fit well in this area. Slow, but never run out.

Just as a quick suggestion for each gamemode (for like a haz6 or whatever)
Salvage could just have a constant trickle of enemies, on haz5 they come in waves almost giving time to breathe.
Egg hunt eggs will always trigger a swarm, rather than just a miniwave.
Mining expedition should have the time between swarms reduced by 33%.
Point extracts have even faster swarms, or possibly just an infinite swarm with more constant pressure but slightly less enemies per minute than a standard wave.
Elimination have grunts or enemies possibly back up the dreadnought,
knotty prism
Suggestion: Make the LURE grenade catch all of the baddies like it used to, but have it be like the cluster grenade. You throw it down, it pops a bunch of mini-lures, and the enemies go to whichever mini-lure is closest to them. That way it doesn’t feel like garbage because it’s not catching enemies, but it reduces the impact of the AoE strengths.

Considering the slight dynamic tweaks you made to the mission map on the experimental server, I'd love if you took it a bit further. I wish there was a quick (0.5-1 s) zoom-in animation on the selected biome with surrounding biomes going grey or fading during that time and biome info fading in. This would obviously mean that quite a few things would need slight reworks, for example shapes of biomes after selecting one would have to stay the same as they are when looking at the whole thing/planet. Currently it's not the case. It would add to the so called "immersion" GSG has been sEEking lately, make you feel like you're actually looking at hoxxes' surface etc. Current quick cut to biome screen doesn't really do that.

Now that armour accounts for beard selection it would be helpful if the game also factors in large helmets as well. Currently the only full-face helmet we have is the corporate marine one, but any other large helmet with similar clipping issues could benefit from the new system.

plucky ore
For any of the events (Halloween, x-mas, etc) where there are gifts / pumpkins in the missions, I would love if the larger presents had larger enemies, but also have better rewards. For example;
Small gift (very common):
Bad: Shocker / swarmer (biome dependant).
Good: Loot Bug
Medium Gift (More rare):
Bad: Grunt/Slasher/Guardian/Acid Spitter
Good: Misc Crafting Material (biome dependent)
Large Gift (extremely rare):
Bad: Dreadnaught/Bulk Detonator/Bet-C
Good: Error Cube/Bittergem/Compressed Gold
I think it would make it really interesting to decide whether or not you want to open the gift as of right now it is just open all the gifts because the worst that can happen is maybe 3 swarmers which all spawn so close together they can be all killed in one pickaxe hit. The different sizes would also require more/less damage to open in order to make sure you don't accidentally open any as well as have them clearly marked so you don't accidentally open something you aren't prepared for.
Another, unrelated suggestion: I think that if you are falling from a great height, and you land on a loot-bug. It should pop the loot-bug right away. There could also be an animation for the loot-bug being squished as opposed to shaking a bit before being destroyed and spraying it's goodies everywhere. But I think the more ways to kill loot-bugs, the better the game will be.

Mission Type: Hive Destruction
Basically similar to point extraction, but in reverse. The mission starts with you dropping in alongside the mining rig, but instead the mining rig is equipped with demolition charges you have to carry like a heavy object (or maybe not? just make sure you can only carry one at a time). Your objective is to take out glyphid hive hot spots by planting the demo charges and smack them with your hammer to arm them. After they're armed, they go BOOM in around 10 or so seconds. Repeat for however many you need to do for the mission length (maybe 6/7/8?).
Cave generation could basically be the same as point extraction layout, with the hive objectives being either wall based or a structure like a normal spawner

New Positive Mutator; Beer Run
Similar to Mineral Mania or Gold Rush, but specifically for brewing ingredients. Malt Stars, Yeast Cones, and Starch Nuts spawn at 2-3x the normal rate, while Barley Bulbs (because of how much more valuable they are since they're the currency for Daily Specials) appear at at least 3x the normal rate. This would allow newer players some way to increase the rate at which they unlock new beers and allows everyone a chance to build up a small extra supply of Barley Bulbs so that they can reliably get Daily Specials without having to rely entirely on luck to make up their cost.

Perhaps it sounds a little politically correct, but I wanted to put up the suggestion anyway: I'd say the overclock Fat Boy should be given a different name. For a somewhat cheerful game that's about mining minerals and fighting the aliens, referencing to the two nuclear bombs that fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ("Little Boy" and "Fat Man" respectively) and killed more than a hundred thousand people of which mostly civilian lives, the current overclock name doesn't really have a place in the game.
void pivot
New machine event,Capture the Fugitive. A prisoner from a local intergalactic space jail has escaped to Hoxxes and it is up to you to capture the prisoner. Being ill-prepared and alone on Hoxxes the prisoner was captured by a strange creature. This creature is keeping the prisoner in a cocoon on its back, this cocoon acts as a weakspot for the creature but be careful not to hit the cocoon to much or you might kill the prisoner, failing the machine event. This creature has no weakspots other than the cocoon and all of its flesh is covered with armor, players must break the armor with a melee attack and attack its flesh through the opening in the armor, although the armor will regenerate over time so players must coordinate attacks on the creature as they fight off other bugs as well. The creature itself moves very slowly, has a decently large amount of health, and deadly close range attacks that really punish players that are near the creature for too long. When no players are near the creature it will use long range attacks like the web spitter's projectile to slow down players, limiting who can go in for a melee attack to make an opening, requiring more team coordination to get the job done. As soon as the creature is killed the machine event is completed and will require no further player interaction, a drop pod will drop near the creatures corpse and automatically retrieve the cocoon from the creatures back.
Also for U27, add a resupply animation

Let drinks give extra mutators to the match; doesn't have to GIVE any extra benefit, just makes it harder and interesting for those who want it to be.
Matera drink makes matera spawn when it goes off; fire drink makes you suddenly catch on fire for a moment randomly; wormhole drink makes you randomly poof to another location on the map every now and then; etc.
Again, just for fun/more challenge. Obviously, have the ability to turn this ON/OFF so casuals don't get mad.
Keep in mind: the effects of the drinks would randomly come into play during a match or at undisclosed intervals.
More ideas for the drinks: the dancing sparkly drink will make a swarm spawn when it goes off and you STILL have to dance; the explosive one does what it does in the lobby but during a match randomly; etc.

I think it would be really sweet to have upgrades to guns add slight visual affects or changes to reflect your upgrade, similar to the fire bullets upgrade for the MG. Maybe the upgrade for the boomstick shockwave makes it give a visible pulse. Maybe ammo upgrades change the shape or size of the magazine. Maybe the last two PGL upgrades change the sound of the shot depending on which one you pick to reflect the change in shell. Maybe the electric arc upgrade for the Stubby makes the bullet trails blue or leave trails of lightening.
I think these dynamic upgrades and changes would be a really cool way to encourage experimentation and show a visual representation of your progression instead of +12 ammo. I do understand that finding aspects to change for all upgrades and weapons would take a huge amount of effort but I really love the idea.

"Thunderhead" Autocannon
As we see more and more underperforming weapons changed with every patch, I decided to give a couple of suggestions regarding weapons that still need some attention and love. Starting with Minigun's primary counterpart, the autocannon.
The problem with this weapon as I see it, is that it's too specialized in killing the smallest trash enemies in the game, while the Minigun with more general purpose and amazing single target killing potential, which also outperforms the Autocannon in potential damage area outside of very specific situations with a lot of targets hit with AoE consistantly, doesn't struggle that much at killing swarmers and alike either. As well as autocannon being borderline useless on certain mutators (you probably guessed which). So I came up with a couple of changes designed specifically to pull the weapon up a bit closer to Minigun standards without making it overpowered or losing its identity.
The weapon:
+2 direct damage
+.3 AoE radius
The weapon starts at only 20% spread, going up to 100% at maximum RoF. (Yes, this is Minigun's gimmick even more backwards than it is, which I think is a good thing. Overall this weapon should be more ammo-conserving at higher distances without many changes made to its close combat RoF and accuracy)
Accuracy mod only affects max spread, not starting spread
(Part 1 / 2)
oblique flint
"Carpet Bombing" OC:
-.2 AoE radius
Starts at 50% spread instead of 20% at lowest RoF
(This overclock is what currently makes the weapon usable in the first place. It already slightly benefits from suggested general changes, and OC-specific changes are here to counterweight it a bit. It's still a bit better than what it is right now in every way)
"Neurotoxin Payload" OC:
Renamed into "Toxic Waste Core"
+4 direct damage compared to stock weapon
Guaranteed contamination on direct hits
Removes AoE aspect (including damage) of normal shots
Killing contaminated targets with direct hits explodes them in a cloud of chemical waste (.6 radius for small creatures, 2.2 for medium, 3.4 for large), applying contaminating effect for half of its normal duration on all surrounding targets. (Killing non-contaminated targets in one hit does NOT trigger the effect!)
-220 ammo
-50% mag size
(Actually makes this overclock fun without instantly making a "everything is poisoned, lol" weapon that it was on Unstable before getting changed into what it is now)
"Eighty-Eight" NEW OC:
Starts at 100% spread
+1.5 AoE radius
-110 ammo
-20% RoF
Shots explode if an airborne target is within 2.5m(constant) radius or after travelling 20(constant) meters.
x3 AoE damage against airborne targets
Additional x2 AoE damage against Breeders
(Yes, it's ye olde FlaK cannon designed specifically against aerial targets, while being a discount Carpet Bomber in any other case)
I did not include other OCs either because they will be more or less fine with proposed changes to core weapon, or because I just have no idea how to make them remotely useable without a complete rework. So far, these are all the changes I suggest regarding the Autocannon.
(Part 2 / 2)

Rework bet-c into a proper machine event or give some sort of reward for defeating it. These days, on higher hazard levels in particular, there's little to no point in trying to take her on or repairing it if you manage to kill the parasites. It's AI is ridiculous, sniping you down with no problem. When repaired, she can be as dangerous to the dwarves as it is to the enemies. I'd add a parasite on every side of her but lower their hit points slightly. And replace her laser-like gun with some projectile based armament, so you can actually dodge it. Make her little grenades' arm time longer but increase the radius. There may be better suggestions for her but leaving bet-c in current state I feel is a waste of potential.

The Breach Cutter sells itself a little bit under value at the moment. Decreasing the projectile speed would greatly help in making it more attractive. Dmg per second is already in place, so a slower projectile can deal more dmg to larger enemies but also works as a drawback when using it for enemies far away. I'm pretty sure this would enhance like this weapon is supposed to work.

A warning on-screen for a Bulk-targeted player would go a long way to not failing Salvage defenses when they spawn. Having a mic and communicating goes a long way toward making this suggestion unnecessary, but during bunkers, the first warning a Bulk is approaching is it slamming through the walls to reach the group, and often leaves no opportunity to figure out who is targeted, or keep someone on the objective. "Just don't bunker" is the response I'd expect on the Steam forums, but alongside the hordes during these defenses, a Bulk can cause a timer to fail without a bunker sometimes, if it gets to wander near the objective. I'm not sure where the line falls between game mechanics being too obscure and Bulks being appropriately challenging during these objectives, but it's more the former IMO. There is already a mechanic like this when you're hit by the Dreadnought's crawler-projectile, which puts a pheromone marker on the player's interface.

Automatically grant players who join the rig/mission any beer buff if the entire rest of the team already has it. This would make it feel less wasteful to order a drink alone before you go on a mission, because any future joins will still get their buff.

Point Extraction missions solo play should be rebalanced. As is, the longer you play the mission, the more glyphids spawn in each pack until there comes a moment it becomes impossible to handle their sheer numbers. By the time you killed a wave of randoms there comes a swarm and then it's a loophole of unending enemies. My suggestion would be to just cap the limit of glyphids spawning at random to a lower ammount.

Here's an idea that a lot of you might think is dumb, and it's one I really don't expect to pass. But hey, it was inspired by a movie that heavily inspired another favorite game of mine. So hey, why not give it a shot?
In short, my idea is a mission type or event where some of the Alien Bugs have mutated / evolved in a way to be able to attack the Rig from Hoxxes to stop the Dwarves from invading. Maybe some of the Spitball Infectors grew to ludicrous size and started spouting plasma?
Anyways, however the bugs start attacking the Rig and the DRG crew that reside within: An attack team is sent planetside to destroy it before serious damage is done. Likely, the Dwarves would need to use the bombs used for the Tritilyte Crystal event to destroy the threat at the source. And if it's an event, maybe it can be stopped before it even "wakes up".
Again, stupid idea that likely won't be accepted. But hey, I just thought it was cool. Hopefully this isn't a repeat suggestion-
Edit: Scratch the previous idea I had, @ember roost just came up with a much better version of it in the discussions!

This is a totally non-critical suggestion that will probably need to wait until after (perhaps even well after) the game is ready for 1.0, but; Armors and Hats/Helmets that match the mesh skins. Can be found the same way as the mesh skins themselves (i.e. crates), or perhaps are added to the pool of Cosmetic Cores.
Glyphid Trophy Hunter - These armors are cobbled together by veteran Deep Rock Galactic miners who really, really, hate bugs. Glyphid leather underbodies, armor fashioned from shards of Praetorian and Shellback shells, and enough Grunt teeth to send a chill down the back of a Dreadnought. An armor for the dedicated bug squisher.
Custom-Engineered - Turn your Dwarves into walking OSHA violations (who cares about OSHA? We're in space!). Wires everywhere, portable generators and battery packs, glowy panels, buttons, what does half of this even do!? Who knows!? You're just the sod wearing it.
Mechanized - If anyone but Dwarves were wearing these, they'd be crushed under the weight of all that extra steel, even with the hydraulic exoskeletal frame helping out. Sure it could use a bit of polish, but this is old school Dwarven engineering at its finest. A classy classic.
Neonband - Makes you look like either a techno artist or some kind of cyberpunk advertisement. The bugs can't attack you if your armor blinds them every time they look at you... Actually, do Glyphids even have eyes? Whatever, these still look cool.

Possible upgrades include increasing their effective range, how much juice they can hold before the Engie needs to recharge them, reducing the upper limit on affected targets in exchange for more damaging zaps/higher chance to proc Shock effect, and bonus damage to enemies hit by multiple coils at once

More little animations for the guns, when you press reload, have them do more unique things. There a lot of weapons that you just spin and that’s kind of boring compared to things like the breach cutter, mini gun, auto cannon, and flamethrower.
Maybe add in some R animations for more support equipment aswell? Like fiddling with the wire on the C4, or messing with a flare on the flare gun, ETC

Something along the lines of a secondary, optional objective, possibly primary objective, where a giant Jadiz or Enor Pearl is detected somewhere in the cave. Players have to either blow it up like with Tritilyte deposits, or mine off chunks of it at a time, with Jadiz breaking off into chunks of Jadiz, while giant Enor Pearl would be encrusted with pearls of the same size players carry to the MULE. Could possibly be translated to other crafting resource types, though that might require creation of carryable chunks for all the other resources.

Additional customization for support tools- perhaps in the form of support overclocks? There has been some discussion in the drg-chat about flare usage in massive caverns yet I couldn’t find anything in suggestions. Basically- option to alt-Fire flare gun for a “firework” or “scatter” effect, perhaps even functioning like a real world flare and falling slowly rather than sticking, to improve quality of life in truly massive caves. Engi- bouncy platforms? Gunner- sturdy lines (half speed, twice as much damage before you fall off)? Driller- using the “r” animation to smash drillers together has a chance to cause fear for nearby enemies?

I would love if syndicate rewards were kept somewhere in the base as long as a player has not reclaimed it.

I'd like to have access to select buff-booze rather than it being offered at random: It occurred to me that we start as green beards, so why not the station, too? Maybe the space rig's seen better days, and Lloyd starts out malfunctioning. Introduce a quest line of us pulling replacement parts for him and out of crates to introduce that mechanic, or have them drop randomly as part of broken Boscos in salvage missions. After all, if Deeprock won't invest in better equipment, enterprising Dwarves could probably pull a box of scraps out of a cave, borrow a few barrels from the space rig, and brew it themselves.

I had a dream last night where I dropped into a planet other than Hoxxes IV. Mission Control said it was supposed to be a deserted planet that DRG wants to scout out.
Turns out the Covenant was on the planet, so it switched from a scouting mission to a GTFO mission.
I distinctly remember management saying, "If you are captured or killed, Deep Rock Galactic will deny all association with you and purge you from our records."
So, I'm thinking maybe have scouting missions on non-Hoxxes planets where you set up mineral scanners.
But there's a chance a galaxy-scale gobernment or its military is there in secret, and you have to covertly dismantle placed scanners and return to your surface landing craft.
Or maybe disable their communications and wipe out the garrison if it's a nation that DRG doesn't particularly like.

Not having Over Clock drops be totally RNG based.

RAIDS
Okay these were suggested before, but hold on a second! D: I have an idea that may work.
It's not an 8-10 man raid or anything like that, it's a community raid!
Broad Execution: Every week a raid boss is put up on rotation with a community-wide health bar. We still go to fight the boss in our typical groups of 1-4, but when we finish the boss it escapes but doesn't die and the damage done to it in that mission will contribute to the community health bar. If we can kill the boss before the week ends we get BEEG rewards! This is very much styled after the Ur-Dragon in Dragon's Dogma.
From here on I'll talk some specifics like mission-to-mission gameplay, difficulty, and ofc rewards
Mission-to-Mission gameplay: It's really quite simple. The mission is just getting to the bottom and fighting the boss. The Raid Boss room should always be the same and the Raid Boss should have a sort of set pattern. When you complete a Raid boss mission you get a payout that's basically a smaller version of the "BEEG COMMUNITY REWARDS"
Difficulty: So what would difficulty affect? a few things. For one it'll make the boss have higher health and the mission will give a higher payout. I also feel like difficulty should ALSO give the boss more attacks/phases.
Rewards: Ahh yes, the big one. What would we get you may ask? RAID CURRENCY! Raid currency specific to that Raid Boss to be precise. You get a small amount on killing it each mission and a ton if the community can kill it before the time is up. This currency can be exchanged for weapon skins, armor skins, and accessories all themed after the raid boss you fought. You need to kill the raid boss at least one time to be eligible for the BEEG reward.

Players should be rewarded for directing the Mule. Mule should be more responsive to staying where it is told to stay. When I tell the Mule to go where I want, it shouldn’t decide to wander off because I’m 20 feet away. With this type of system, players who ignore the Mule will be punished, they will end up having to wait longer because they are not directing the Mule as they navigate the mission. Edit- Worded wrong-the reward should be a Mule staying where it is told for longer periods of time/increasing the distance of how far you need to be from the Mule before it decides to wander off.

The ability to select loadouts on the late join screen when you are selecting a class is pretty important IMO.
edgy ocean
The new Loadout system is neat, but it could use more features. Here is what I would recommend:
- Vastly increase the number of loadouts available, three is not enough. Most primary weapons alone have about 3 different upgrade setups that synergize. This is then multiplied by the average number of overclocks (6?) for a total of 18 possible combinations. This does not include your secondary weapon or auxiliary equipment. See the problem?
So at the very least you should double the number of loadouts to 6, or 10, or even more.
-
Add an option to clone an existing loadout onto a new one, instead of making us reconfigure everything from scratch.
-
Make the loadout buttons bigger and have the icon fill the entire button, the default "blank" icon displays a letter. If you select a different icon it wwould replace the letter instead of appear under it. This makes the UI easier to read.
Also you could add many more icons for the players to select, basically any picture used for upgrades/perks/overclocks/grenades should be selectable so that we can recognize our loadouts at a glance. The existing set is useful but a bit generic.
-
Cosmetic loadouts! Basically the same thing but on the employee wardrobe screen instead.
-
Add an option to make loadouts only affect the primary and secondary weapon. All other equipment items and perks are considered part of loadout "zero" and stay the same. I think this would be much more convenient for most players because people rarely change the configuration of their secondary equipment/pick/armour etc. So this allows you to swap quickly between many different weapon combinations without having to configure your pick/armour/tools as well, which may not be desirable.

Omg, the petting on loot bug is adorable. However, what if the developers could maybe add another extra feature where once you pet the loot bug 3-5 times, it would make the loot bug poop out all its loot and maybe it becomes deflated afterwards?
It would also be good as hidden achievements too. Like example, "Passive bug looting" aka Obtain loot from a loot bug without killing it.
And then another extra achievement like "Pacifist bug looter" aka Obtain 100 loot from loot bugs without killing the adorable creatures.
Hopefully you guys would add this feature!

But my two least played classes have DOZENS of forge items each.

Pest Control Mission
After a failing of Project Omen and increasing of glyphids activity, RnD suggest a new way to control a fauna activity. They send us in most "infected" area, flooded with enemies. Our mission is:
- Reach a point where neurotoxin dispence machine must be placed, activate a beacon.
- Construct a machine - Mission Control will drop a parts of machine between the waves of enemies. Includes a construction of mounted turrets, that will protect machine in a future.
- Load a machine with tanks of neurotoxin (dropped in a some distance from machine).
- Evacuate from the area on a drop pod.
Could be repeat for 2-3 times (or one big machine, as you decide).
Some kind of mixing a Salvage Operation and Point Extraction, but a little bit harder, cause enemies will spawn between every dropped part of machine.
It also could be a new type of gas, that stays active for more time than usual, and it could be dangerous for dwarves (like a "Low Oxygen" mutator), so you must evacuate so fast as it possible.

Also, make Opressors rarer in solo games. Maybe max 1 or 2 at once. They are really annoying.

Pertaining to Commands with the Laser Pointer
EXPANDED COMMANDS
- Command Wheel : Would be a great addition, as it could refine communication with both Bosco and teammates. A wheel that tiers more specific commands under broader commands might be the best option.
EXPANDED INTERACTIONS WITH TEAMMATES
- Class-Specific Commands : Necessary commands, for requests directed at specific classes, would be: "Need a Platform here!"/"Need Turrets here!" (Engineer), "Need a Zipline here!" (Gunner), "Need a Drill here!" (Driller), and "Need a Light here! (Scout)"
- Ability to specify Generic Commands : "Follow me!", "Move here!", "Attack this!", "Caution!"
EXPANDED INTERACTIONS WITH BOSCO
- Place Carried Material Here : Would improve QOL enormously. Need Bosco to help you with a battle, but you don't want him to drop your egg down a giant hole? "Bosco, release the item right here!"
- Mining Command Queuing : Bosco can be assigned a queue of mining duties. When one duty is completed, he moves onto another duty in the queue. Number of duties within a queue could be limited by complexity of each duty, the difficulty of the mission, or a static quantity. His queue can be interrupted if the player asks Bosco to stop, the player goes down, or the player requests that Bosco attack an enemy.

Rebalance/buff most unpopular overclocks. Why it's important? Cuz most of overclocks right is bunch of unplayable stuff for people who want to win, especially at haz 5. Other frustrating thing is that these OC's should be your reward, you have to spend your resources to get them with no option to test it before purchasing. You did DD/EDD, spend resources and find out that your new shining OC is unplayable trash, common scenario for players right now. After bunch of nerfes every single update since 25-th, everything at this aspect becomes even worse. I've never seen snowball OC in matchmaking since experimental build of 25-th update. In my opinion, that's not how it suppose to be.

I was trying to think of special mission modes with vehicles so you could drive around. Still working on that idea but as I was thinking on it another idea came to mind.

Engineer turrets should not fire on dreadnoughts or opressors unless they are attacking from the rear 90 degree arc. They should also prioritize smaller targets whenever a "boss" enemy is present. Otherwise they tend to burn through their entire ammo reserve to no effect.
Engineers can deliberately dissassemble the turret to avoid wasting ammo, but this is the kind of micromanagement that shouldn't be necessary. The turret should only fire if it has a reasonable chance of dealing damage, or hitting armour that it can eventually break through.

I suggest adding the additional minerals and beer ingredients found in normal missions to Deep Dives as well. When I explore a cave in a Deep Dive it feels empty and sterile compared to a normal mission. I'd also suggest adding in a small chance of cargo crates and machine events to Deep Dives. It feels gamey and immersion breaking for me that the caves you Deep Dive into are so very different from all the other caves on Hoxxes.
It would also be really nice if you sometimes actually used mini-mules, instead of only ever rescuing them, or deployed with a functional BET-C. How did all those alien controlled BET-C's get down there. Alternative, less resource intensive fix: add some corporate notes to the new Miner's Manual that explain the critical design flaw that lead to BET-C being abandoned, or the reason mini-mules were not cost effective and have been sold off (or whatever).

Suggestion: maybe add some glow effect to mineral chunks that scales with the quantity of minerals that chunk contains (brighter chunks = more minerals)

Good friend of mine (is a little bit whiny), he thinks its not quitr clear that you can change difficulty settings before starting a mission.

^ I think that's dat fellow means, that we need a some kind of "Aprove a mission" button. You need to choose a hazard level, press the button, and then people can join your server.
Or that we need to ban a possibility to change hazard level when someone already join to your server.
For example:
You see a Haz4 level mission server that didn't start. You join it, and BOOM! - host changed it to Haz3, and you couldn't even notice it.

I feel the CC elements of the game are too numerous and overzealous. If there's anything I've learned, CC is an insanely powerful element of just about any game, whether you wield it or your opponents do. Being slowed down so drastically is soul crushingly devastating in many scenarios and, based on how enemies spawn in this game, seems to add some unnecessary extra rng to the gameplay. CC elements should be use sparingly, as they can add a level of unfairness in a PvE (speaking form experience with Killing floor 2 with the immobilizer EDAR). Lethal used to make sense and be rewardingly challenging, but so many enemies that spawn now in great quantity can slow you down. This does not include the fact that other elements of the game also incur slowdown at the same rate. There are also very high levels of spawns of enemies that can shoot you across the map and deal huge amounts of damage to take advantage of this cc effect, that you can't really have any response too (hence the rng factor: if you're cc'd you can't respond to it, and are killed instantly). I'll give an example, when playing on the frost, fire, and sand biomes, fissures and storms slow you down and allow for acid spitters to murder you where you stand in 2-3 shots should you be even having to deal with 7+ enemies at that moment in time. Overall, it's a fun element to have, but I feel consistently adding it and upping spawns of it on haz 5 might cause the overall difficulty increase to the point little to no one will want to touch haz 5 or even 4 (I do, cause it's still a fair enough challenge). It's probably at it's limit right now. Besides me, my other 3 players of my group don't even want to touch haz 5 anymore as a result, and it's all we've played for the past 3 months.

When Bosco revives you in solo mode, he scares away nearby enemies at the start of the revive animation. On higher difficulties the bugs are pretty much on top of you by the time he finishes, so the effect is pretty useless. Maybe he could scare them away on completion (like the Field Medic perk) instead?

Whenever each weapon goes over a damage threshold, it should have a more impactful sound. For instance, the Bulldog can reach 130 damage (much higher than the base damage) with the elephant round overclock. It'd be nice if super high damage (different for each weapon) like that had a special sound when shooting it.

A possible rebalance of Scout's pheromones and Engineer's LURE:
Right now, the pheromones are better than what the old LURE was, but for some reason weren't nerfed as hard as the LURE (which is now a lot less useful). To make LURE good again, and to make pheros less overpowered, I think they should both do something different:
-LURE has the same mechanics, except it attracts ALL small enemies (swarmers, shockers, etc) from a long range away (same range and number of enemies as the old LURE).
-Pheromones also have the same mechanics, but only attract medium and large enemies (grunts, mactera, praetorians, etc).

Battle Cool's bloom killing effect has become largely redundant after the big buffs to the Gk2's base accuracy.

You need to rethink the Volatile Guts mutator. Having enemies explode and deal damage to each other sounds neat on paper, but in practice all it does is give enemies an extra way of damaging the player and preventing shield recharge. It's sold as being "beneficial" but makes the game much harder as well as negates the benefits of iron will and the vampire perk. It also makes the Rock Mutation machine event practically impossible to complete because it is melee only. On top of everything else, since it is a positive mutator it can be mixed with a negative mutator like Lethal Enemies.
One of the previous suggestions was to impose a delay on the explosion, like how exploders will hiss for a few seconds before detonating. This is a good idea, but I would go one step further than this and make it so that bugs don't explode if they are killed by melee attacks. This provides enough of a benefit to be considered a positive mutator and solves the problem I mentioned with the machine event.

A special zone and mission type: Elven hippie protestors formed a glyphid benefit concert on the surface of Hoxxes, so you're tasked with placing glyphid-attracting devices under their little drum circle. You don't actually go on to the surface, but you're placed in a very peculiar position, where drilling too high would expose the mission, and drilling too deep would set off glyphids prematurely. You also have to time your drills and shots with the awful beats of their horrible elf music, to mask them.

Me and my friends have been loving playing Deep Rock Galactic, and there are a few ideas that we kind a came up with as suggestions to add to the game:
Hooli Hoarder Hunt
A hybrid of the Extraction and Elimination missions. On the Map, there spawn a few special Hooli Hoarders, that carry special minerals that is incredibly useful to management. The Hoarders will wander around and actively run from the Dwarves in order to escape. They can never leave the field, and will quickly run for their lives. Dwarves will need to work together to trap them and take them down. Every time they are killed and drop their loot they can also trigger the hoard.
Petting Loot Bugs will get only a few minerals
Now that we can pet them, it would be kinda cool to be able to only get 1 chunk of loot every time it's pet, so we don't have to kill the cute guys ; - ;

As the game comes closer to 1.0 and more mechanics are introduced, there arises a need to make sure all the new stuff is clearly explained for new players
Take Machine Events, for example. If you don't have a Tritilite Key, you can't interact with the Events at all besides highlighting them. If you don't have any Blank Matrix Cores, you can't interact with the computer console that emerges after a Machine Event is over.
I would suggest showing the prompt to interact, regardless of whether you have the needed materials. If you interact without them, display a message declaring what you're missing. Simple and informative, and you can have a little buzzer noise for players to spam because buzzer mashing is fun.

Hi, I'm new I just bought the game and stuffed 8 hours in one sitting and would like to offer some feedback regarding difficulty, I find the difference between hazard 3 and hazard 4 with 4 teammates a huge bump in enemy spawns/enemy variety/enemy frequency which I really like coming from vermintide 2's insanity that is cataclysm mode.
Its a big surprise jump between hazard 3 and 4 and was wondering if you could keep the surprise in hazard 4 by tuning hazard 3 with a little closer to 4's difficulty? with 3 teammates in hazard 4 its really really difficult as well but it can be done with practice and failure.
I have weapons feedback as well, would we get more weapons in the future for all classes? I've only played the driller at this time and the pistol/flamethrower combo is fun but would like more variety in the future if its possible to keep the balance as a 'team' game

I wanna talk about the Deepcore 40mm PGL, the Engineer's default secondary weapon.
This weapon only has 8 max ammo by default, which is ridiculously low. To make the weapon usable at all you need both max ammo mods for a total of ... 13 grenades. It's not like the weapon is op either to warrant such a low ammo count : there is no direct hit damage bonus by default and the base explosion radius is also very very low.
Overall the weapon feels unrewarding to use : you either take ammo mods to use the weapon at all, but your shots are weak, or use radius/damage mods for powerful shots but with an extremely low ammo count.
Ideally the weapon should have an usable amount of ammo by itself, so engineers who take ammo mods can actually spam it (but they get weak shots as mods tradeoff) if they like that playstyle.
Actually, I don't like max ammo mods. Some weapons don't really need them, and balancing via ammo count isn't fun.

Last stand should last for a complete 9 secondes , when you get health back and lose it again it acts as if you used you last stand and you will die before reaching the end of the 9 secondes , I think it would make more sense to be able to gain and lose health for the entire duration. The way it is right now the vampire perk isnt that useful , more often then not you will get some health back only to lose it right away while on last stand resulting in an early death.

Here are a few ideas that I've come up with for flare concepts and reasons for why they should be implemented.
(1) Glow Sticks: Recharge faster the more the player moves (walking is normal recharge rate, running is 2x recharge rate). Downside to this flare is that it gives off -50% less light. The reason for this flare is for players that want to do speed runs in a cave. So by having a flare that recharges 2x as fast when running, speed runners don't have to wait forever to get their flares recharged.
(2) Sticky Flares: Sticks to any surface as soon as it's thrown. Downside to this flare is that it's harder to throw. The reason for this flare is simple: isn't just pure FRUSTRATION when you throw a flare to a specific spot and it bounces/rolls off in another direction? Well Sticky Flares are the solution to this problem.
(3) Warding Flares: Scares off medium to small enemies. Downside to this flare is that it burns out quickly. The reason for this flare is to be a support flare for when swarms are upon your group.
I know that Ghost Ship Games states on Steam and Discord that "By posting screenshots, original artwork, concepts, suggestions, ideas, mockups or similar creative works made by yourself that relates to Ghost Ship Games or their games in the Discord server, you grant Ghost Ship Games non-revocable and royalty-free license of unlimited duration to use said material in any way, such as in their games, promotional material, social media accounts, etc." But If my idea is taken into consideration (or if anyone's idea is taken into consideration), could you at least give partial credit or a note stating that such and such player came up with the idea?

a common suggestion im betting - Nerf Bulk Detonators. Seriously they are way too powerful for some of the stuff they can do.
Had one frankly infuriating moment on a Haz 3 you read that right, haz 3 where i was with 3 lower expirience players. First cave - Immediately a bulk shows up and nukes the rank 1 scout, i kill it get him up and go do the objective. we start the uplink, Oppressor shows up and while im focusing on shooting that.
this is according to my scout friend, ANOTHER bulk detonator spawned, Litterally IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF US, and proceeded to wipe our entire group out with rapid fire explosions.
that kind of situation isnt fair and ballanced challenge, its utter bull. a bulk detonator should appear half way across the map from you, NOT directly under your bloody feet. Such a thing is comparable to, for example having a tank from L4D spawn directly beside a solo player next to a cliff.
the difference is you could stillreasonably avoid that situation, because that super-enemy is constantly screaming and making the ground shake.
TL;DR
Bulk detonators are OP as hell, nerf them or make it so they arent so silent you are never going to notice if one is behind you during a swarm. those things should be practically announced with a god damn marching band

Flare Effectiveness during certain Mutators
I was thinking about it and it would be interesting buffs/nerfs to work with during missions.
-During Low Oxygen missions, the flares have issues creating more light and either burn less brightly or burn out more quickly (probably not both)

A little while ago I suggested changing how Volatile Guts worked and reviews seem to be mixed. So I'd like to mention Syrrath's suggestion in the same vein. Instead of nerfing how Volatile Guts works, just make it so that Ebonite Glyphids specifically (the ones from the machine event) are no longer affected by volatile guts. This normalizes the difficulty for the event and makes sense in that these particular enemies are made of rock.
Syrrath's other suggestion is that VG enemies killed by headshots would not explode since their guts are not damaged, just like existing exploders. This introduces a new element of skill because you can avoid splash damage at close range by aiming carefully to "disarm" the target, but it retains the swarm-clearing chain reactions that VG is famous for.

New mission type: Recon and Mapmaking
The dwarves are tasked with exploring heretofore uncharted cave systems beneath the surface of Hoxxes IV, and documenting their layout for future expeditions. Accompanying them is a Molly analogue that comes kitted out with an array of cartography equipment: Sonar beacon, boring missiles, and camera-carrying drones. The dwarves escort it to "nexus points" throughout the map, and then wait for it to do its thing.
Its "thing" involves making a shit-ton of noise and flashing lights which are sure to draw the attention of everything with a pulse for kilometers around.
Gameplay's gonna revolve around MULE repair-style point defense, with hordes of enemies coming to attack the players and their equipment, and creative terrain traversal - because of its heavy equipment, the Not-Molly can't climb straight up walls and along ceilings like Molly could, so the players will have to create reasonable paths for it to take.

I thought it would be interesting for the biomes to each have smaller, sub-biomes within them. Like when you first enter a mission you land in one sub-biome, but as you explore the caverns you find different unique sub-biomes that have special features, looks and enemies and still fit the theme of the biome.
An example would be in the magma core, you have the normal caves filled with firey rocks and fire geysers, but you can come across a large lava lake area where there are walkways and pillars of stone jutting out from a pool of lava (Not deep enough for a dwarf to drown in or something, or else that would make it impossible to revive someone who falls in, probably something knee deep) that rapidly damages you when you touch it, so an engineer has to make bridges of platforms or a gunner can make ziplines across platforms, encouraging use of movement tools. there could also streams of lava falling from the ceiling, and perhaps a special fish or worm enemy that swims through lava and spits molten rocks at dwarves.

Posted this on reddit, but also posting it here for visibility (and hopefully more discussion):
It's a doc attempting to rebalance the weapons and tools. Some of the "guidelines" I tried to follow as much as possible was:
-
Potency-boosting mod choices (like ammo or damage) shouldn't compete with pure QoL or utility (some exceptions remain, when the utility is significant enough).
-
Grant the "Mastery" system (the one where you get skins for weapons by unlocking mods) for all the tools as well - but in the case of the tools, it provides functional bonuses, rather than cosmetics.
-
Reduce the "meta" as much as possible, and make modding more about your own preferred style, rather than what's the best (I know this is almost unavoidable, but restricting it as much as possible is good, imo)

And It would definitely switch up the gameplay If you had to be careful with some of your actions, like a certain type of rock exploding If you hit It, lava/magma flowing around, enemies causing a explosion that could cause a cave In with potential damage but also resources or a fauna doing that etc etc.

Tritilyte Crystal: The bomb depenser is too close to the crystal. Players can now throw the bomb into the crystal after walking 3 steps completing the mission under 30 seconds. To increase the difficulty slightly, throwing bombs on the "cracked" open side could give diminishing returns (down to 40 - 10%?). That would encourage players to take the extra step to walk around the crystal for a higher progress, encourage a safe zone around the crystal and players who simply want to just throw the bombs without moving much can continue to do so. A noticeable (high value) diminishing return would make the cracked open model on the crystal much more noticeable as well as encourage perceptive players to act accordingly. I can be PMed if I didn't write things properly (or my idea wasn't clearly defined)
desert bluff
Turret Arc Engineer Overclock - Charging your turret makes it fire a lightning stream (just like it's current graphic) at it's next target, locking it in place as it discharges for a short time. This is instead of arcing between both turrets. Gemini still works great here since you get to empower two turrets. This also makes the laser pointer targeting modification more useful since you can direct the target of the bolt beforehand.
Alternatively, give this functionality to the laser pointer where you can designate a target similar to asking BOSCO to rocket something, holding the charge until you choose a target to discharge at (this could even apply to turret whips). To prevent overlapped keybinding, require a long press rather than a single press.
Currently turret Arc will not kill grunts before they pass through, does very high friendly fire damage, requires difficult specific setup for ground pathing as enemies are all terrain, and requires clear shots on both turrets. Compare to EM Discharge - AOE hits wide area, doesn't require gemini, doesn't require building the turret (can panic drop the unbuilt turret and still use the OC), hitting turret excessively is not a major detriment, doesn't trap allies for repeated FF damage like arc, and kills grunts consistently. Downside is lower primary gun stats but the benefit of Turret arc for it's niche use doesn't seem worth it.

- "There's a riled-up nest of q'ronar up ahead. Sounds like they know you're here. Brace yourselves!"
- "The damn rollers have found you! Watch yourselves, they're faster than they look!"
Bulk swarm (spawns one bulk detonator for each player)
- "Well, I don't envy you down there. We've detected a small group of glyphid bulk detonators burrowing towards you. Afraid you're on your own, lads."
- "Detonators incoming! Keep your distance, they're deadly!"

Glyphid Guards feel a little too bullet spongey now. Not only do they have high health and strong armour but they also cover up their sole weakpoint. They don't have any specific weakness or strategy to them, you can only grind through their HP the hard way which feels a bit tedious now.
I think you should reduce their HP a bit and make their body armour more destructible. The armour in particular is strangely durable, strong anti-armour attacks like grenades that would leave a praetorian naked only knock off a piece or two when used against guards. If it was more practical to destroy the armour on the forelegs it would open up a gap that we can use to target the weaker face.

Flak shells provide an additional splash radius, more area damage and also have proximity fuses, making the weapon great for anti-air pest swatting.

- Proximity fuse explodes at 1m from target
- Proximity fuse takes 1-2 seconds to arm, to prevent the shell from just blowing up in the gunners face if there is a close enemy
Cons
/ Proxy fuses mean that you can't help with long range supporting fire if there are interfering contacts (Trying to shoot past a grunt to kill a Praet or Bulk will explode on the grunt)
/ The proximity fuses can't detect glyphid swarmers (too small)
/ Flak Shell mod gives -10 magazine size, increases reload by 0.3 seconds

Make the Engineers platforms from his platform gun have bouncing capabilities. So jumping when standing on it launchers you a little into the air making evading/exploring a little easier. Especially for solo engineers where getting around isn't the easiest thing to do (hard difficulties anyway)
OR
The Engineers platform gun can be shot into the air rather than hitting a wall. The platform gets suspended mid air with ropes going from Top to bottom allowing the platform to be placed anywhere in the cave, with a suitable height of course. This will mean you dont have to connect the platforms constantly to make a path, with this you can do jumps instead to reach the target destination which will save loads of ammo for it and time.

Less a suggestion, and more a request because I don't know what a 'fun' solution would be, but please reduce the size of the ginormous cave generations in Morkite mining missions, particularly for Salts and Bogs. The amount of empty space is so big in the vertical generations that it takes an unreasonable amount of flares to light, and Morkite spawns in tiny pockets so high up that they don't get discovered unless a flare is next to it.
Extra suggestion on generation of ginormous caves is to guarentee more than two entrances/exits, if possible, so that Dirt walls that spawn extremely high up and difficult to see becomes a rarer issue. Finished a nearly 50 minute mission because a dirt wall spawned so high up in a giant Salt cave that you couldn't see the connecting cave from the closest platform. We found it by chance because I missed a zip and saw the dirt wall on my fall down in the dark.

Now that materials carried in inventory automatically deposit when you exit the level via drop pod you should add support for completing secondary objectives this way.

Hi, I just joined to post my idea before I forgot so apologies if this has been said before and I missed it!
What if ziplines had a 'Sprint' feature, where holding the sprint key made you descend downwards at a quicker speed. The greater the angle the zipline is at, the higher the max speed of the decent. The line of 'Souped up zip line motors' perks could also add a max speed percentage added on for it.
In terms of storytelling/lore this could be seen as unlocking the motor to make the zipline mechanism free.
Small Edit: If the perk was to effect the max speed, what do you guys think the values should be?

Changing how the electric mechanic works on the stubby smg;
Rather than the current percentage chance based format, have it be a guaranteed electrocute every certain amount of bullets.
For example: the default could be that every 5th shot electrocutes an enemy, with the two current mods that increase electrocution chance decreasing the bullets it takes by 1; with one mod every 4th shot electrocutes an enemy and with two mods every 3rd shot electrocutes an enemy.
This minimizes the RNG factor and makes them more effective without actually changing how they're used very much.
Electrocute has no benefits from being RNG, if you get lucky and electrocute an enemy 3 times in a row it only resets the length of electrocution, while if you get unlucky and don't electrocute an enemy in 20 bullets then you're at a disadvantage.
Keeping the AoE electrocution as a 25% chance should be fine if the basic electrocution for stubby becomes reliable, I think this would help make the gun feel a lot better to use

What about a mission where you go to a derelict dwarf space station overrun by glyphids and you have to power the station back on and activate the automated defenses.
First you'd have to make it to the reactor where a boss glyphid would be using the reactor as food (to heal), you could repair the shielding to the reactor and stop it from healing or just power through it. After reactivating the reactor you'd need to make your way to the automated defenses.
The automated defenses will be shooting at everything so making your way there won't be that easy. Since dwarves built this space station there are many corridors and elevator shafts you can use to get to and from locations, even the brewery pipe line where you'll get drunk using it to travel.
Once you get to the defenses, destroying haywire boscos and BET-Cs you can finally head home via the drop pod. But wait we've got a monstrosity inhabiting the drop pod constantly spawning more glyphids. Once that's destroyed you can head home with the loot you've collected.
In the space station there will be storage rooms with loot, armories with ammo (that become available after the power is on), a navigation room (where you can get a full map of the space station, making it easier to find the objectives), a repair bay (where you can repair a bosco or a BET-C and have them aid you). These are optional and not necessary to succeed the mission but may increase your rewards.

Just my thoughts. Rock & Stone!
half frigate
Here's food for thought: an alternative to gunner's shield that is a barrier. It doesn't protect as much as the default shield does, but it does last a lot longer and two can be placed at the same time. Reason for this? To serve as a way to limit or restrict the already existing entrances that glyphids can use to get into the room/tunnel you or your team are located in. This could make way for interesting tactics, such as blocking driller tunnels so less glyphids will be coming in(they can still drill their way through the terrain walls of the tunnel), or setting up blocades in rooms or naturally-made tunnels. The base duration for these barriers could be somewhere around 10, with two or three mods that add an additional second to that number. There could also be an overclock that increases the number of barriers to four at a time, at the cost of -5 seconds of duration for each shield and a slightly longer cooldown rate. Yay or nay?
edgy ocean
I love the little "immersive" animations for things like picking up objects. I think there is an opportunity to add some for interacting with the minehead:
- When you pour minerals into the minehead you should be able to see the minerals (in the form of round/triangular chunks) fall into the grinder and be consumed.
- When you put a larger object like an aquarq into the minehead there could be an animation where the grinder wheels slowly break it into chunks like a wood chipper.
- If multiple large objects are loaded into the minehead they will "queue" up on the ramp and feed into the grinder one at a time. If objects are loaded from both sides the machine will alternate.
- In order for this to work the grinder wheels would have to be lowered a bit so that only two wheels are visible and objects can fall into them from above (currently they rotate the wrong way).
This would also involve adding a new animation for placing large objects into the minehead/grinder, the game currently lacks one and it causes a glitch. If you deposit an aquarq and have other minerals in inventory the "pouring" animation will start to play. If you try to pick up another aquarq immediately it will sometimes fly out of your hands, potentially falling off of the minehead entirely.

I think what would make the game a whole lot more immersive and more fun (especially in multiplayer where the core of the gameplay is) would be to refurbish the sounds and vocals in the game. I am mostly thinking of the voice lines in the game.
I don't think you'd understand the impact more voices and variations would have on the game until you actually play with them, but this has come to my mind more and more often lately with newer updates and this is because these new updates often lack voice lines to go along with what comes with them. When I say voice lines I mostly mean:
Voice lines that tell / warn other dwarfs of dangers. Often in new updates that brings new enemies and you tag them with your laser pointer your character would just shout "Enemy" or some other general / template 'enemy' voice line. Having new voice lines and making it a part of each update to bring voices along each new entity / enemy would bring up the quality a lot and make surviving just a little more easier because your friends know what's coming.
Another thing that would up the quality would be not as important but still essential lines such as when you tag a Cargo Pod (I can not remember if this had a line or not but I do not think so) or targeting a Mini-Mule, a Power Pack or the Drop Pod. There are a lot of entities that could have voice lines and having more voice lines that correspond with what you are actually targetting would increase the overall 'satisfaction' of successfully playing in a good coordinated team.
Another area with voice lines to add would be just straight up immersive and feedback lines. I particularly love the starting few lines when you enter the cave in the drop pod and some one says one thing and another one replies like for example: _"Wake me up when we arrive.", "Pull yourselves together!". I can just imagine that when you are in the cave and between the waves a similar thing happens. And same goes for Maggots and weird Fauna.

edgy ocean
Missions do not reward much if you deposit more than your quota. This is a deliberate design decision that nudges players to call the drop pod and extract in a reasonable amount of time. The idea I had was to formalize the opposite “hoarder” style of gameplay as a random mutator for existing missions to give a change of pace.
There would be a new mutator called "Overtime" that can appear on Mining and Point Extract missions, essentially management needs to meet quotas and is willing to pay extra for hard work. Overtime is a rare mutator that applies on top of existing mutators. So it is possible to get a mission with Overtime, Low Gravity and Lethal Enemies at the same time. Similar to deep dives only promoted dwarves can do overtime missions.
Changes from regular mining missions:
- OT mining missions require you to bring back 400 morkite before you can call the pod. Bringing back extra morkite will increase the credit and xp reward for your primary objective, up to 2x for 800 morkite. OT mining maps are larger than normal Length 3 maps and tend to have fewer tunnels but more large caves.
- Instead of Molly players are accompanied by Megan the Megamule. Megan is bigger and slower than Molly and can’t fit through small gaps which may require her to dig (driller tunnels are fine). On the bright side players can deposit minerals faster and her oxygen radius on low O2 maps is doubled. Megan’s slower speed makes relocating her more of a strategic decision and the drop pod will also give you extra time to reach it at the end of the mission.
- Despite the increased size of the map no extra nitra is provided compared to a regular Length 3 mission. This requires players to be quick and efficient at clearing a room and advancing to the next one before they run out of ammo.
- You have a higher chance of encountering crates and huuli hoarders in OT mining missions. If one does spawn there is a much smaller chance of a second one appearing further into the level.
Changes from regular point extract missions:
- Overtime point extract missions are more or less the same, but larger in scale. You are required to bring back at least 10 aquarqs, but instead of the usual extra 3 there will be an additional 10 you can find and collect scattered about the map. This will scale your primary objective reward up to 2x if you manage to get all 20 of them and mission control will play a special dialogue to congradulate you.
- The extra aquarqs will tend to spawn both further away from the minehead and/or higher up on the walls. The main challenge of this mode is the logistics of moving multiple aquarqs long distances back to the minehead, over difficult terrain and in the face of constant and increasing enemy swarms. Having a balanced team and knowing how to use all of your traversal tools is essential here.
- The rate at which enemy swarms increase in size remains the same. On a typical PE mission if you haven’t amassed 10 aquarqs within the first 15 minutes you are likely in trouble. So collecting all 20 requires players to move quickly and focus on the aquarqs, which is a good habit to learn for PE missions in general.
- To help the players out a bit the turrets on the minehead carry extra ammunition and fire slightly faster.

Then there's "Longbeard", done in a serious and grumpy "less is more" manner with straight-forward callouts while keeping all the fluff to a minimum, generally doesn't play around or care for that matter.
"Brawler", an abrasive type that consists mostly of ridiculing or trash-talking all the bugs, Molly and even Bosco.
Finally, a "Hellion" personality, more sentimental than the others, switching from cowardly to smug and back in a comical manner, cracking jokes and generally being an exaggerated show-off.
All of this can be done in respective voice tone of each class, to keep it clear who says what, despite changes to speech content itself, which might or might not be the reason why we can't have voice selection in the first place.

I'd like to give general feed back to attract more people into the game, the graphics (DON"T HATE ME I JUST WANT MORE PEOPLE TO 💓 and get into the game from SOUTH EAST ASIA) could use an update, in terms of graphical complexity and more detail especially the enviroment and the smaller enemies that you fight. It would appeal to more people across the spectrum because graphics does sell games as well.
The lighting system is great but it comes at a cost which is the torchlight, it barely helps as it looks like a post processing filter on screen rather than a 'torchlight' with 1000 lumens available to pierce the darkness unlike the 'throwable lights'
-Audio -
The guns sound okay, like they're stock audio from samples with little 'explosive' punch on them, which could use more bass if its possible.
Explosions don't sound loud at all in a cavern there's a need for some serious reverb and compressive effects from air moving at high speed from the resulting explosion.
Turrets sound boring like pea shooters, give them actual scary high giant caliber fire (and improve the cooldown on turrets, the delay after every shot is abit long between shots on turrets)
Monsters themselves are all high pitched except for the bigger praetorians and oppressor's, I would like it more if there was actual chittering footsteps or a massive rumble of thumping when the swarm arrives to really sell the massive amount of enemies that show up.
If its possible to add a rumble to the bigger enemies as they move and some minor 'earthquake' as they move around as the physics itself isn't correct, big elephants rumble the ground when they move.
audio really sells the dark horror experience in a giant cavern with slight reverb/echo that requires testing. If its possible to do live audio processing would make the game TRULY shine as that DEEP. ROCK. GALACTIC.

New enemy, Glyphid Grenadier or Glyphid Mortar. Is about the size of a warden, is in the same style as exploders and bulk detonators, and has a large cannon like organ on its back. It has about the same health as a warden and has sack weakpoints, like a bulk detonator, on its sides. It will try to stay on the ground and keep its distance from players. It will slowly fire exploding balls at the players with a large arc and travel time. When it is charging an attack it will be clearly telegraphed, the projectile can be heard as it travels through the air

Please change M1000 back to its previous form. It went from my most favorite gun, to something I never use. The GK2 is now simply better in any situation. The M1000 has been reduced to a gimmick.
GK2 was a generalist weapon. Now with M1000 no longer being as good at sniping, in favor of buffing hipfire - it is more a of a generalist weapon. The GK2 is now better at long range, and at close range - making the M1000 obsolete.

Enemy attacks the throw you into the air are extremely annoying, the attacks can't be stopped and once in the air not much can be done to stop you from falling. This can lead to situations where the player gets pushed into a large cavern and dies without having the ability to do something about it.

Bosco commands:
Create an optional APD modification "Command override" that can be chosen instead of rockets.
Commands have the same amount of charges and triple the cooldown as rockets do. Further mods that affect charges and CDR for rockets do the same for commands. Cryo-rockets can add additional freezing effect to Bosco shots during any combat commands are active. Orders/grabs cancel the command.
1) Protect me, Bosco!: Activated by holding call key (default X). Bosco hovers over the player's head, perfectly matching his position and speed, while gaining 150% more range and targeting enemies closest to the player with perfect accuracy. Lasts 15 seconds. This command can not be cancelled.
2) Search and destroy!: Activated by using laser pointer alt-fire (the same way rockets are activated) on an enemy. Depending on enemy selected (swarmer-sized, grunt-sized, big, and stationary) Bosco will search and attack the closest enemy of the same type (completely ignoring other types), gaining 500% speed boost and +1 damage bonus for the duration or until the command is cancelled. Lasts 30 seconds for small enemies, 45 seconds or 20 kills for grunt-sized, 1 minute or 3 kills for big enemies, 20 seconds or 2 kills for stationary. If a timer runs out until the last target is killed, Bosco stays on target until recalled or done with his task.
3) Make a breach!: Activated with pointer alt-fire on a surface. Bosco travels at 500% speed bonus to select locations, channels for 3 seconds, and rapidly breaches a dwarf-wide hole in the wall 8 meters deep, perpendicular to selected surface. No time limit, drone executes the command until finished or recalled.
4) Escort the minerals!: Activated with pointer alt-fire on carriable objects (when they are already dug out!). Bosco grabs the object, delivers it at 100% speed bonus to Molly/Minehead/Drop Pod, and deposits it without any further input. No time limit, drone executes the command until finished or recalled.

I'm a little surprised that none of the Thunderhead's OCs or mods put fire damage on your shots. Fear-inducing splash damage + catching targets on fire would make for a pretty fun combo of mods, I think
sturdy smelt
it would be cool if there was a added voice line for when you are in the pod extracting that says "Dwarfs! We are leaving!" similar to this from aliens.

Maybe make it so Bosco can pick up secondary objective items? Like Fossils or plants, this would make it easier to finish them solo and without having to be scout to be able to reach high up spawns or places.
Yes this only applies to Solo, it still makes the game just that more accessible
velvet needle
New players joining an active mission can be vulnerable to enemy attack when they first land as they're unable to react to their surroundings until the pod bursts open. This can be especially detrimental if a swarm is ongoing on higher difficulty levels. I'm unaware if a mechanic already exists to accommodate for this, but in the happenstance that it does not it would be a nice QoL improvement if new miners could have either a brief window of invulnerability after they land or an AoE fear effect when the pod makes contact with the ground to allow some breathing room.

Terrible Easter Egg: Let us press E to pet Glyphid Bulk Detonators.

Could be neat to see the current progress of the Interplanetary Miners Union, in numbers, and not just a steady bar. Example, bronze objective this month for Dirt Diggers was to kill Detonators, 27.749 of them, but having an idea of how many the community actually killed could be... neat. Unnecessary, but neat.

For 170~ nitra you can call back BOSCO as a fifth member (for a limited time), using the hosts loadout. He can be used by anyone. Left click will still be mark, right click will be attack (double click will be rockets) and hold will be mine. He will follow the mule. (Could make it so he can only be used around the mule n a radius)

Hello fellow miners and direction !
I’m here to propose some addition, I think that we need more armor stuff and maybe a reforge of color selection for everything;
I explained :
For weapons, every colors would be distinct from skins (custom engineered, mechanized, glyphide trophy hunter and else, that would be add separately and would be affect by color choice) and an option can be select for supporters to add just little detail of gold on every weapons skins and colors.
For armors, pretty much the same thing, add some colors variations on every armor, and add also some extra skin that can be put on armor like some glyphide stuff, mechanized, etc… and for supporters a gold aspect for all different armors.
And maybe some basic colors for extra gears (grappling hook, platform gun, etc…)
And I don’t know if we deserve it, but a Gold with diamond pick as a pickax skin (and bosco) for supporters would be awesome
I hope to have been clear, I also hope that you like these ideas of changes and additions, and hope direction see us !
Love you all, fellow miners and dev !
ROCK AN STONE !

Yo, I have a suggestion to make. For some of the Low Oxygen missions The MULE is often climbing walls leaving you to die. So to combat this could we have The Mule drop off an air canister that is one use and will fill all your oxygen at once. Just a suggestion as I've lost a few missions to The Mule abandoning me.

something to show that your teammate is on iron will so I can plan around it and not leave the problem to them.

could we get an option to prevent wall eyes from spawning? I don't mind them as an art choice, but I've nearly had an anxiety attack multiple times because of them

Building on the previous Thunderhead suggestion re: fire damage, take it a step further and incorporate an OC that lets splash damage apply sticky flames for a few seconds
Pros: Greater burn damage resulting in enemies igniting faster
Enhancing the inherent AoE of a splash weapon by applying an AoE to the area around the impact zone (would help compensate for Thunderhead's accuracy)
Cons: Less direct damage probably, or slower firing rate with the in-universe justification being that it's to prevent overheats

Rock and Stone Brothers! I have an idea but sorry if this has already been suggested I searched some key words but nothing came up. a new mission, a bunker mission. four Dwarfs went in, none came out. it's your job to salvage the base and get the goods.
My though was give people about 7-10 min to clear out a busted bunker type fort, driller could use fire to clear dead bugs and drill out chunks of the roof that are now imbedded into the floor. Engineer could mend walls and repair bridges; scout and gunner could work on generators that will needed to be defended to complete the extraction. They also keep the floodlights on. Maybe the light gets dimmer as each generator falls? this would be the engineers time to shine
This is another idea, my pet asteroid. The bar is relocated to a more suitable location. Miners, you have done well this year. Management has granted this station its highest honor. As you can see you are now attached to a small asteroid. In your down time management will allow you to practice your skill. If you happen to… damage this area so badly it no longer can be used. Management will get you a new one… for a fee!
Just a small dense chunk of rock we can carve out as a base. This could even lead to a mini game where dwarves face off in a Nitra ball fight. “dwarven hand cannon that fire a compact red ball that blows up into a million sparks on impact” the arena being hand made as is dwarven custom. all the teams hand cannons could be on a rack as you enter the room. You auto grab it when you enter and hang it up automatically as you leave.

Sometimes when you join a game from the server list it starts to load you into the game, but then dumps you back into the lobby because "you can't join a game that is just starting". You can however join that exact same game just 10 seconds later.
My suggestion would be to implement a slight delay into the joining process so that the game simply waits until the game is in a joinable state before adding the player to it, instead of rejecting the attempt for no real reason.

How does the droppod leave?
I would suggest that it dumps its drill, giving way to an ascend thruster assembly. (Similar to how the Moonlanders dump their lower part before getting back to orbit.)
Molly could also maybe come from a small hatch on the backside of the pod, or could simply be docked there. Same goes with bosco.

When you start a new loadout, please make it have all the upgrades from your default loadout selected already. I made a new loadout and started a mission only to realize I didn't even have the pickaxe special attack because NONE of the upgrades were selected. It makes much more sense to just change a couple upgrades from what you already had instead of having to select every upgrade for every weapon over again

A variation for the Engineer Platform gadget, an option to increase the surface area of the platform shot but lowers the fall damage reduction, and vice versa where you can make a smaller platform but it increases the fall damage reduction.
As someone who constantly uses (and fails more often than not) with using the platform as a cushion, this would be heaven
Also a variation for the Engineer Turret (probably on the same upgrade path as the last one) where you can throw a smaller turret at a wall or ceiling and it unfolds itself, probably like a weaker Lite version of the normal turret. And it can shoot or even tag enemy monsters just for balance. But the idea of a weaker turret that can be self built onto any surface sounds really helpful sometimes

This is not a high priority but I think it would be awesome if we could get some kind of sync-kill or assassination system for dwarves in the same vein as dawn of war or Halo: Reach. Basically if you kill an enemy with melee and hold down the button instead of clicking, the camera will zoom out to third person and you will perform a "stylish" kill animation before returning to first person a few seconds later. There could be different animations that play depending on what weapon you have equipped, what direction you attack, what enemy type or what class you are and so on.
You could also have "boarding" attacks in the same vein where dwarves latch onto large enemies like breeders or praetorians and plant grenades on them or hit them in a weakspot. You wouldn't be able to do this everytime, maybe if the enemies are stunned and/or past a certain health threshold. Example: If you score the killing blow on a breeder using a power attack while both of you are midair, you will ride the breeder's body down to the ground and use it to cushion your landing.

Are suggestions on existing Overclocks allowed? I just got the "face melter" unstable OC for my flamethrower, and it really does not feel powerful enough. It decreases max ammo and increases fire rate, so the ammo economy is harmed drastically. The slowdown seems fine, but the damage boost feels too small. It only adds 2 more damage. By comparison, the clean OC "sticky additive" boosts damage by 1 for no penalty. If this overclock is meant to melt faces, I think a damage boost of +3 or +4 would be more appropriate. a base unfiltered fuel flamethrower can already melt grunts pretty fast, this overclock seems like it should melt the face off of a grunt guard or praetorian if it's going to have less ammo and slow you down. A "candle" that burns twice as bright but half as long.

Upgrade to improve fire rate on platform gun please. It shoots like every 2 seconds which is quite annoying when trying to escape or make a staircase

The Kursite Infection machine event should have it's duration increased a little bit, at least 5 seconds, maybe as much as 15-20 seconds.
I know that doesn't sound like much but what keeps happening to my party is that we just barely win or just barely lose the event. Even with a full party of veterans who don't miss a single enemy it tends to come down to the last 1-5 seconds to deposit the final kursite into the grinder. In one case we lost the mission at the last second when our scout was just inches away from depositing but couldn't walk any faster.
Having a slightly increased timer would also stop environmental effects from being an instant fail. In one case we lost the event by about 3-5 seconds because a blizzard rolled in right when the last kursite mactera spawned and we couldn't see it until the blizzard cleared. It only blocked our vision for a short time, but that was enough to make us fail the event even though we had performed perfectly until that moment.
EDIT: The spawn numbers/timings for each kursite enemy could also use some scrutiny. They don't seem to generate a consistent amount of kursite over the duration of the event.

Please post some analytics of class usage, weapons-usage and statistics as well as how many bugs of each type have been killed, as well as objectives and biome-type related stats, too, like how many missions failed on what difficulty, that would be really cool to see

I feel like upgraded for molly would be a good idea, for example making her stick closer to you without calling her or making her move a little faster, or other things such as having a mounted turret on top (all ideas for solo)

Please tweak that message so that it says what the requirements are. I just found out today that assignments have a minimum difficulty you need to choose, the game is not very clear on this point. The player might think it's something to do with them needing a minimum rank, or certain weapon mods installed etc.

Related to above pic regarding the mission selection screen; if it's multi-player, have the option to name the game here for when it shows up in the server list for others. More of a convenience thing to make changing the name of the game server specific to the mission selected.

Weapon evolutions. Working the same way as class level ups do. They prestige after a certain amount of kills and types of kills (headshot done to X, X damage done to weakspots) to unlock different meshes and skins of weapons and to unlock newer upgrades and so on

This is a addon to the "Haunted Caves" Warning. Instead of having a Ghost version of the bulk detonator, There would be a 10% chance of having a ghost version of a cave leech instead of the unknown horror. that would teleport to different locations ever X seconds or whenever shot at/downing a dwarf.
It can't be killed like the unknown horror and will drop a dwarf when shot at (Even if the dmg is only 1 dmg) it let go then teleport 3 seconds after. If it downs a dwarve it will drop it then teleport away in 5 seconds. (Teleport time if it does nothing is up to devs)
opal glade
So I was thinking about what error cubes should do. I think if error cubes opened up a rare (door) or glitch gate that rarely spawned either mid mission or on the space rig would be a good idea. This door or gate would lead to a biome more mechanical like the mechanical events and robotic enemies/terrain, almost like a spaceship biome. It could provide completely different loot or items within it.

Here's a far fetched one that's a rip off of TF2 (at least that's the game I found it in). A "Request a Coach" button. New players can hit it which will queue a participating veteran player to work with them <insert successful method which doesn't require a lot of extra programming and everyone likes here>.

I'd like to not see Bulk Detonators any more in solo when a "stay in this zone" is active. It is completely unfair and ruins a run entirely, especially after doing all the deep dive objectives except black box then having that thing happen.
slim mural
An augmentation of the current deep dive system: instead of preset stages for the deep dive, allow for a simple voting system for stages 2 and 3. The group gets a choice of 3 possible stages to progress to. You could leave out some details of the stage to keep it a bit of a mystery as to what they'll specifically encounter. Perhaps let them choose biome type and main objective? In the event of splits or ties, RNG Gods decide. This would give the deep dives some potential added playthrough value?
Edit: Stage 1 is rando between 3 presets? Clarification on choices for stage 2 and 3, they get 3 to choose from but the only information would be biome and main objective. I've been drinking.
thick quail
(Preface, this isn’t my suggestion but was commented on one of my posts on Reddit)
Low Oxygen is a rather hard modifier, and you can be screwed over quickly if Molly parks herself in a dumb place. And the person suggested that instead of going down when away from Molly for too long, instead it blurs your vision like your drunk, with it getting progressively worse the longer you spend away from Molly. That way the mutator is debilitating instead of annoying. After all it’s low oxygen, not no oxygen
edgy ocean
The Flow Rate Expantion overclock for the cryo cannon could use an overhaul. It is pretty much worse in every way compared to the stock weapon. The pressure loss penalty only allows you to fire for 4 seconds between reloads and this isn't enough to freeze larger enemies or deal much damage to smaller enemies. You can use upgrades to reduce the pressure loss, but the lower the pressure loss the less you need to recharge, which renders the primary benefit less useful. Essentially this overclock only exists to solve the problem that it creates. If you take those same pressure loss upgrades and apply them to a regular cryo cannon you gain much more "uptime" and damage/freeze output, on top of whatever other overclock you choose to apply.
My rebalance suggestion would be to add new effects that lower the chargeup delay and the repressurization delay to minimal levels to make up for such low chamber volume. This allows the FRE weapon to fire in quick bursts with the pressure immediately bouncing back between shots so that you don't constantly trigger downtime after each shot and hobble your DPS. Reducing the charge and pressure delays also makes it more practical to replace them with different upgrades like freeze power and range, opening up more builds.
Also you misspelled "Expansion"

I'd like to suggest a feature like Monster Hunter World’s SOS flares – once in a game, the lobby leader can use a menu option to tell management that they would like backup. In the Server List any lobbies which have requested help will be marked with an icon, and there will be a filter to display all lobbies which have requested backup.
I think this should be fairly low cost and gives 2 nice benefits – new players (or players struggling with a tough mission) can ask for help from more experienced players, ensuring they are able to play co-operatively when they want to.
And veterans who want to play but may not have any specific goals left will have a way to easily jump into games that they can help out with.
There could also be an achievement and milestones for responding to X successful backup calls.

New gunner primary idea: RL-4HY "Rockit Launcher" Single barrel, held over the shoulder like a typical rocket launcher, has a four round magazine, drop feed style. Explosives have a, slightly smaller, aoe than PGL but massively increased base armor break. Can stagger and stun giant enemies if you hit them in the face (including dreads) but has limited ammo compared to other Gunner primaries. Basically, this is what you take when you want to kill big things in a big way (yeah it's kinda of semi jokish, but would also make sense for DRG to supply some potential counter measure to dreadnaughts and oppressors)

How about a bar menu in our pod that lets us see what special is on offer without having to waddle over to the bar to see whats for sale so we don't waste the lobby's time just to find out there's no pot o gold on sale.Not saying to buy the beer in our pod, god knows management would never allow that. Just having a sign near the terminals or in your quarters to save you the trip.
Also, why not just allow us to buy any booze at a much higher cost, like 25x malt flower or whatever the resource is called, and have the daily special which is one flavor of beer at the typical discounted price. I mean sure, I know most people are just going to use it to buy Pots O Gold with gold mania but it'd still be nice to have the option to pick up Red Rock Blaster or Tunnel Rat on a particularly hazard mine.
While on the topic of booze it'd be nice if late joiners could have the option to buy a copy of the booze buff the lobby host has. It is very painful having someone come in to a pot o gold run and having them drastically gimp your gains.

Just had a first time troll host (or very greenbeard) start the fuel objective on a Salvage mission while me and the only other player were engaged in a machine event. I could also see a potential situation where a troll might fix up a Black Box while a Dreadnought is being fought during Deep Dives. Maybe make an option or a default setting that disables priority objectives from being started while there's something else the group should be focusing on. I can't think of a situation where you'd want to do two at once, except to show how big your rocks and stones are.
