Either more difficulty levels, or some kind of custom difficulty settings with appropriate hazard bonus calculations.
I'm kind of stuck at the point where, when playing solo, I can always win a Haz 2, but it's probably less than 50/50 for a Haz 3. I'm not sure whether it's the extra enemies or the extra enemy speed; but I'm getting my arse kicked. It feels like a Haz 2.5 that comprises Haz 3 speed & strength and Haz 2 enemy wave times and numbers would hit the spot.
Being able to select a truly custom difficulty with Haz 1 - Haz 5 sliders for each of the variables that gets tweaked as the difficulty goes up would be kind of awesome.

On the topic of @round kiln's idea, which i originally had :
Keep it exploding into gold on walls, howhever add some extra gold chunks in it.
Current crassus is not that well rewarding, and its often simply not worth the effort for, say, duo players. Some soloers also cant bother grabbing all of it.
Gold chunks would increase the max reward by a lot and would also reward people who dont want to take their sweet time to mine everything in the walls

Give Gunner stronger: OCs, damage or MODs to his big main weapon, he is supposed to outshine in DPS, not be competitive. When MODing the Drillers flamethrower to pure damage, he outshines the Gunner in DPS. Most battles versus the bugs are big clusters of enemies that die fast. Naturally, the Gunner has more DPS over a long period of time, but has no time to build this DPS. (Do not dismiss this: Ability to kill with long range is less important than close quarters damage, as we fight in close quarters 80% of the time. Flamethrower and the minigun both get low on ammo quickly, there is no inequity there.)

Could we get something like the Breach Cutter for the Driller? The first time I read about the breach cutter I was shocked that it wasn't for the driller, it truly seems like a weapon made specifically for them.
While I don't want to suggest anything that steps on other classes toes, the breach cutter's gameplay is quite a lot of fun, and I'm one of those masochists who enjoys the driller and it'd be nice to have some type of weapon that emulates the breach cutter.

Change the "Bring Your A-Game" and "Like A Well-Oiled Machine" achievements to unlock if the mission is done on a hazard higher than one required for those achievements. These two and "Karl Would Be Proud" are just the same achievement, only bound to different hazard levels, and I don't feel like it's meaningful enough to make players do the first two if they can do the hardest one first.

You should remove the blackscreen transition when joining a mission in a regular or personal drop pod. Before the patch these two cutscenes were seamless, you drill down towards the ground, impact, then the doors open and off you go. But now sometimes the screen turns black and all sound cuts out momentarily just after impact.

Change the loadout system so we have 3 slots applied individually to each loadout item, instead of 3 slots that each control all of the loadout items at once (in addition to all cosmetics).
Right now, if I have slot A using a tranq subata alongside a sticky flamer, but then decided I wanted an automatic subata with that, I either need to redo the subata in slot A, or create a slot B with everything the same as A but the auto subata. But creating a new slot is tedious and I have to manually copy changes across slots (for instance if I get a new pick part or change my hat, I need to install it on all 3 of my loadout slots).
Individual slots lets me just use swap over to Subata B, while keeping Flamer A, Pick A, and outfit A, etc. without having to separately maintain an entire identical B loadout.

A few of the weapons don't have ammo counters on them. Specifically the gunner shield and driller c4 have no way of telling how many charges you have left. Unless you have the weapon detail UI on. And while I understand this is a small thing, I'd love to be able to get either a dynamic weapon details option or indicators on the shield or c4 (or dwarf fingers) that tell me how many charges I have left. Just a small immersive thing that I'd love to see, especially cause almost all the weapons have indicators on them that give us information on our weapons and tools and it's really neat to see, I just wish I could turn off weapon details and not have to memorize how many shields I have. Also dwarf fingers telling me how many charges I have of shield I have left wouldn't seem unusual in this game, but that's just the funny idea.

Could we pleasce change it so that the engineers turrets dont shoot at passive BET-C's?

Okay, hear me out.
Inside the space rig, there are five toy guns, ones any of the four classes can carry. A toy Bulldog, a toy Subara, a toy Zhukov, a toy DeepCore, and a toy M1000. They fire foam darts that are the same color of the player's class, and can be picked up to reload the toy gun. They do no damage and it makes dwarves that aren't holding a toy gun say their friendly fire lines if they're shot by a dart. The darts have bullet drop and don't fly that fast, unlike a bullet. They also squeak a bit on impact.
That's really it, other than a wacky color palette like red and orange or something, and maybe DWERF on the side of the gun.
They're the result of R&D wanting something to mess with each other with, and they were found to be a fun little form of entertainment for both the hard working dwarf and the eggheads at R&D. There was a small shipment of them to the station of Deep Rock Galactic, to give the dwarves something new to entertain themselves with.

I think you need a more unique content for a Deep Dive. Or, at least, make a simple Deep Dive (not Elite) more difficult.
For now, it's nothing then a "two cutted main missions and MAY BE a mutator". Honestly, it's boring for promoted dwarves, it's not a type of end-game content that should be.
My suggestion (all for simple Deep Dive, not for Elite):
For difficulty level :
- Make a one negative mutator for every stage compulsory. Of course it will be random negative mutator, but it always should be.
- Make a good chance of spawn a random dreadnought on a mission. It's so rare in a usual missions - so, let it show itself here. For example - 30-45% chance of spawn, except a mission where we should kill a dreadnought.
- Place a feature from Point Extraction "more glyphids in a process of time". We don't need explore all caves in a Deep Dive - we haven't a unique minerals, Machine Events or Lost Packs here. So, most of people speed run Deep Dives.
It all could make a Deep Dive a good challenge, a good end-game content that challenges our skills, and not only simple "farm of cores".
Elite Deep Dive shouldn't contain this "modifications" - it's hard challenge by itself.
About new content - it's up to you, developers. New types of objectives, may be extra objectives like in a usual mission but unique (like "find our broken scout-bot and fix it"), a boss-type missions (not a dreadnoughts, but something unique, for example Mactera's Living Hive), may be unique enemies ( Deeptora Glyphid that someone already suggest here) etc.
It's up to you, devs.

Nerf for Turret EM discharge is too strong. The damage is decreased by 33% already and now the shocks are too sparse. I like the idea of sacrificing single target damage for being an AoE Machine. Even despite the fact it does loads of damage, the fact that 1) it friendly fires and 2) you actually need to have perfect turret placement which takes an incredible amount of skill (otherwise you risk going down trying to replace them) should be enough to balance it out
IMO it was the only saving grace to warrant building Gemini Turrets

The gap between the first and final upgrade tiers of the turrets is too big. MK.2 is superior to gemini, just like defender is to targetting.
My suggestion is to combine targetting with mk.2, and defender with gemini. While also making their damage numbers equal, 10 damage.
10 damage is exactly the same as defender gemini has, and 3 higher than target mk.2 (which is fair since the targetting upgrade was just way too weak compared to defender)
This would open a new tier for more unique upgrades, such as auto refill, explosive rounds, burning even? Many things are possible.

Promotion assignment claims to be "extra difficult" but it really isn't; you can do the missions at any difficulty and with any class. Instead of making them set mission types, would it be possible to make them "four missions with Warnings", and make them Hazard 3 minimum? I just think it would be interesting to force players to try out Warning missions that they might normally avoid.

Have the movement physics been tweaked recently? I feel like the movement of the characters is too "floaty" somehow. As a result, the world looks amazing, but feels somehow distant as a result. The floaty physics makes sense because of the forgiving platforming mechanics, but they come at the cost of world interaction, as you sort of "glide" everywhere. Would it be possible for you guys to play around with more weighty, precise movement mechanics/physics that would allow us to "feel" the world texture of these awe-inspiring caves we're in? Doesn't need to be Death Stranding, but I think there's a happy medium to be found. Thank you. :)

Would like it if Additional Nitra allows you to "pre-purchash" a supply drop
So instead of losing all the nitra you got, you get 1 free supply drop in your next mision
This would be a selectable loadout, meaning you choose in the mission screen if you want to cash in the nitra
it also prevent "nitra hoarding" because you can only save 1 free supply drop regardless of how much extra nitra you fine
Also - would love to be able to have BET-C be something you can summon on a mission with through extra nitra (especially if the takeover bugs are there)

I feel like something that would really spice up the game as a whole would be more random events and finds while mining.
Imagine just having a jolly good time grabbing some gold, when mission control suddenly interrupts to announce an enormous swarm is inbound, and that the drop pod will be dropping early to collect you as soon as possible. That sudden rush to get to the drop pod before you are ultimately consumed by a massive swarm would be great.
Little events like that, that can completely turn the mission upside down would be a really cool, rare occurrence to have every once and a while.

Stubby is unfairly penalized vs targets like dreadnoughts & oppressors which are flat out immune to electric status effects. This immunity seems to prevent the Stubby's "Conductive Bullets" mod from providing bonus damage against these targets.
Ideally the damage of the status effect, and the ability to proc "Conductive Bullets," should be separated from the slow of the status effect. That way these creatures can still be dangerous without crapping on the weapon's damage.

The reload from Born Ready should proc reload effects (such as from the OC Electrifying Rounds).

A way to get Nitra even when everything in the cave has run out, or a way to replenish ammo without Nitra, with the wave format of the Acquarq Missions, we ran into a cave that only spawned 3 veins on a golden bugs modifier. the waves just kept coming and we never had a chance to restock after the 5th or 6th wave, and given the modifier, that really sucked.

I have a nitpick, but one I want to propose a fix for.
Blank Cores are a weekly rarity, only being obtainable each week. I find that semi-counterproductive. Matrix Cores are important to progression.
These cores can contain endgame content, like overclocks, and I believe they should be a little more frequent to obtain than the odd missions every week.
There should be the option to buy them via credits or otherwise, at a vending machine of sorts. Buying them should be semi-expensive at first, but with each core, they get more and more expensive. 2000 to 4000 to 6000 to 8000, etc. (Prices are not static, devs can decide) The scaling of prices can reset at the end of the week. It'll allow people to have a small amount of cores on hand to use on core events without having to wait at their computer so long they feel like they're a skeleton with a headset on.

Here are my thoughts on what should be done in some of the pieces of Scout's kit
M1K
1 / A . M1k needs slightly higher base damage against weakpoints, as it currently feels slightly lackuster at its main anti-HVT role, and it would also grant tons of very good breakpoints that the weapon only slightly misses, like one shotting h5 macteras without Focus.
2 / B Hipster is currently pretty bad and the weapon remains terrible when not hitting weakpoints and spraying willy nilly, and the base unfocused shots m1k is far better for weakpoints. It should become into a sort of quick semi automatic rifle with 20~ magazine rounds. Currently, optimally using it is just m1k bur with less damage and more ammo which does not really make up for the lost power.
3 / C Supercooling Chamber should either make you have more DPS or be more ammo efficient. It currently does none. Movement speed removal shouldn't be a thing
4 / D It's crosshair looks rather bland compared to the other, sci-fi crosshairs in this game. Can we get something neater?
Boomstick
5 / E Double Barrel should be called a Balanced overclock and its obvious flaw should be mentioned
6 / F Special Powder is pretty strong as an overclock to justify the lack of some minor drawback. Boomstick also has 4 clean OCs out of 6, which is another bonus of making it a Balanced OC.
ZHUCCCCCCS
7 / G . Embedded Detonators should have a slight AoE.
GK2
8 / H. Bullets Of Mercy needs a nerf : It's almost a clean OC, as even without ammo mods the difference is pretty small, picking an ammo mod in t2 + BoM makes up for the damage loss. Something has to be done about it's Stun modification.
9 / I . Gyro Stabilization should affect the first 3~ or so shots.
10 / J AI Stability should have -1 RoF ( from -2 )

the double barrel clean overclock for the scout's shotgun really deals a lot of damage at once, which can come in handy. mostly it's just a waste of ammo though + reload time is high, so you can't use it in quick succession. that's why i don't equip it anymore. i made a search about this and seems quite a few ppl feel that way. some suggested to give it twice the amount of ammo, but i feel that would make it too powerful. my suggestion is to change handling so you can choose if you want to unload both barrels or only one (same as it works in RL). only unload both barrels if you press both the left and the right mouse button at once; same way as pickaxe power attack (but vice versa / left mouse button first, obviously).

Semi-blind Gamer. Accessibility. UI Issues
tl/dr: Favorite game. Difficulty seeing thin outlines during intense moments. Suggestion to allow more customization of UI effects and accessibility features.
So, I'm a blind/low vision gamer. DRG is easily my favorite game at the moment. That's going up against heavy hitters like Doom Eternal, Rimworld, etc. It's great. As a person with a disability this game is great for a variety of reason, but it',s design. The UI is clean and useful (most of the time) and detail is in all the right places. When things get crazy, i struggle to find downed dwarves and marked waypoints. As as example, a friend and I were playing an EDD yeseterday. He went down, I was gunner, nearby and ready to shield+revive. I was standing close, but just couldn't see his outline through all the jumble. In my search I went down, used IW to get back up, and again couldn't find them in the fray. This is 100% a me vision issue, but it's really sad. I couldn't see thu UI so we lost. I'd really love it if I could take those nice, clean outlines and set them to 4x, or scale them. It would make all the difference. I'd really appreciate a reach out, as I can provide tons of ideas or other support in the accessibility region. I hope you'll consider making this and other access related issues a priority. ❤️

This may be a little far fetched, but how about a mod for the sentry gun that turns it into a short range heavy hitting shotgun sentry? It’s operational range would be short and it would have a much lower fire rate, making it less viable against small creatures in numbers. It would be more ideal for stopping larger targets that are getting close. Such as praetorians and grunts. I don’t see another suggestion like this so I don’t know why you are all saying it’s been suggested

Cryo Cannon T4 Balance Suggestion: Move 50 of the Larger Reserve Tank (+150 Ammo) to the base cryo cannon ammo. Since Supercooling Mixture is now +1 instead of +2 Freezing Power, ammo has taken over the most obvious mod choice even for freeze builds. Moving 50 ammo to the base value would make the +1 freezing power much more comparable to the T4 options and help to slightly mitigate the ammo issues people have with the cryo cannon when focusing on maximum freezing power or damage over sustainability.

Why - Unless you play during the first few hours / day of a new Deep Dive generating it gets hard to find a group to join / find people to join your group, and a lot of times incomplete groups tend to just start the mission rather than try to wait 10+ minutes for a fourth person to join. Letting people join before the 6 - 7 minute mark should hopefully ease the burden a bit, giving searching a players a bit more of a chance whilst allowing waiting players to start progressing instead of waiting around in the Launch Bay.

QoL Suggestion (this and more on the steam forum) - Refinement to the join in progress screen (the one where you select your class and loadout). Currently when left clicking a class, that's the one you select to join the mission with. In order to change your loadout you need to hover your mouse over the class then maneuver it around the other class' to prevent accidental selection in order to change your loadout. I'd like to slow this down a bit.
A left click to select your class to soft lock it in and prevent accidental changes.
Another left click to select your loadout. Perhaps even with an expanded window showing exactly what is inside your loadout.
Once those two are selected, a confirmation button will appear letting you join the mission.
The idea is to provide a more deliberate selection for the player while tightening up the mechanic a bit. Currently it feels a little loose with how loadout selection is implemented in the joining screen. It will slow joining of in progress games, but those don't need to be the fastest thing in the world to begin with.
For anyone who can't visualize what I'm talking about, here's a short video demoing what I have in mind. https://youtu.be/2TsAWE-4IDI

Dreadnoughts need a buff in AI. Even on Haz 5 they are too easy to dodge as they seem to charge at the target, miss, pause in place, and slowly turn around. By the time they can charge again they probably have a third of their health missing. They should be able to punish targets that get cornered, but more often than not Players can just bounce around it.

Please give solo a cap on enemies spawned. Currently its pure RNG bullshit in h5. Sometimes there are so few enemies that make you even question if you're actually playing h5, some other times you get things like this.
I just had this grunt swarm that took all of my 4 revives + iron will, after getting three other swarms within 18 MINUTES of the mission. I burned through two ressuplies and 7 cryo grenades and this was still how the swarm looked like. More pictures in #drg-gallery
You should not be forced to abuse broken overpowered stuff like breach cutter \ PGL in order to survive things like these. Give solo a cap of enemies spawned \ about to spawn, and also a more consistently long period beetwen swarms. This case i had with a swarm every 4.5 minutes is not okay.

Make Bosco do a blip or a whistle when he retrieves a pearl, chunk, aquarq, etc. so that you know he's behind you holding what he fetched. Just to make it a bit more noticeable he's come back to you since he's pretty silent. Addendum: It'd be cool if one of the calls or comment sounds dwarves made to get Bosco's attention was the classic "over here" whistle you make to get your dog's attention. In coordination with that Bosco should make an almost barking robotic sound in response.

Bosco should have a secondary lighting option called "Lantern" activated by a bound button. When activated, Bosco will inherently want to be behind and above you. I say this because in a battle or a situation in which you want to see the entire floor of an area for dropped minerals, Boscos light seems to work best when sent to a ceiling or a stalactite, because it lights the whole room much like a Scout's flare. This should also be the position Bosco stays in when in a battle. An above shoulder machine gun is far more effective. However, he should still retain the ability to flank and rocket enemies, just make it so when in battle, activating 'lantern' mode makes him follow over your head still. Unactivated and thus with the light off he still does his roaming attack helicopter mode. This would solve problems in which Bosco can entirely ignore the right enemies, and focuses on tiny swarmers in the middle of nowhere, rather than all the grunts in front of you. I feel like as a soloist, a lack of control for this robot makes me feel still alone. He can also sometimes plain get stuck on surfaces for a few seconds, making you lose valuable time in the moment you need a rocket to be fired on a dreadnought. I know he usually follows you to begin with, but forcing him to be behind and above you can make a lot of things as a solo player a lot easier.
Addendum: Make it so when in lantern/battle mode, you can't use flares. Instead pressing and holding F quickly brings up the laser to target an area, letting go releases a rocket from Bosco. This would be made even better if Bosco's rockets were given a "mining" upgrade that destroyed a large portion of minerals at the cost of enemy damage. It would give soloists a great way for quickly escaping between chambers or clearing objects in the path of your escape.

Fix armor breaking so it isn't trash / a noob trap. Right now, it only lightly benefits killing praetorians and quonor shellback , and that's not much of a problem. For it to be worthwhile, nearly everything needs to have weakspots with armor, like spitballers, brood nexus, breeders, oppressor, menaces, etc...
Alternatively, armor breaking could have some extra effect(s), like dealing increased damage to non-weakpoint areas / invulnerable areas, extra damage to yellow bars, that kind of thing.

Game mode: Meteorite Mining
"This is Mission Control. We've detected large meteors have crashed on the nearby planet, containing rare ore. We're sending you a MULE mounted laser cutter to open these meteors. Be careful though dwarves, the sound of the laser cutting into the meteorite's exterior gives off a harmonic frequency that tends to attract extremely large swarms. Protect the dwarf operating the laser at all costs or risk death, the loss of the rare ore, or worse, the loss of Deep Rock Galactic property!"
Description: Control sends a laser placed somewhere on the map that must be found...thanks control. The laser is mounted to the mule, repair bonks of course, and then brought to the crash spots of each meteor. The shells of meteors radiate with gamma radiation and extreme heat. They will quickly cause your meter to go up, so don't get close to them. The laser can only cut the outer shell, the rare ore inside is actually too dense to cut straight through. This means teams will have to cut one side of the meteor, and then the other ("I hope this works!") at which point it breaks in half revealing a rare ore chunk inside. Sorry, your pickaxes aren't strong enough to mine the rest by hand.
Because these chunks are so valuable, you have to send them back with the laser, and thus carry or come back to retrieve them later, Mission Control is a dick. Once you've retrieved all chunks, Mission Control sends a retrieval pod for the laser and the chunks. You need to protect the pod while it readies for take off. Now it's time to hit the big red button.
Addendum: Make it even more difficult by making the laser have a finite battery (thus preventing use on enemies), so you have to be efficient in your cutting process, otherwise you won't get your ore chunk.

QoL Suggestion #2 (this and more on the steam forum)
This one concerns the wardrobe, equipment, and pickaxe terminals. Some sort of indication of how many cosmetics left to purchase or unlock. This can be done several ways. I've included some simple mockups below. This idea would apply to weapon OCs, skins, and textures. Please click the link to view the album in its entirety.
One is by altering the "grid" to show every cosmetic, both purchasable and unlockable, but with them grayed out or a lock icon shown on top. Though the issue here may be that players get the idea that they could purchase these. Maybe a shopping cart to indicate which require purchase and maybe some other icon to indicate that they're found elsewhere. Figure 1
You could even piggyback on top of the above one by simply laying out the grid to only allow for the total amount. For instance in this image the little grid has only one additional open slot for a total of 6 possible armors for the gunner. I own 5 (the current max in the game), but the mockup shows a grid capable of holding 6 so you can infer there are 6 total armors. This one is the least invasive and indirectly tells the player how close they are without cluttering the screen further. A minimalist approach. Figure 2
Another is a small counter in each menu with your current amount of cosmetics owned/unlocked vs the amount available. For instance: 21/30. 21 cosmetics owned vs 30 total to unlock. In this example it's beards. The red number indicates owned vs total. Figure 3

Due to Rick May, TF2 Soldier's voice actor passing away, could we get The Soldier's helmet as a cosmetic in rememberance?

Perk Buff: Buff the "Dash" perk so that the the dash bonus not only lasted another second and a half longer, but dealt damage to any bugs you tread into, effectively making this perk worth the 30 second recharge time and the slot it takes up.

I thought of something called the Miner Marathon. It functions just like a Deep Dive, but it goes as long as you and your team can go. You and your team is rewarded after each mission and the Team Rating goes up based on how hazardous the mission is and how fast the team completes the mission. The Team can vote to continue or end the marathon, and if they continue, they vote which mission out of the 3 randomly presented to go to next. If they end the marathon between missions or die during a mission they all get a reward based on the Team's rating. I would recommend for this to only take place as an event once a month or so, ideally between Union Chapter Progress Periods. I know I've had bad or repetitive ideas, but I just wanted to help out reasonably.

I would extremely enjoy it to have an option to make MULE sit still! Tired of haunted caves when you want to put stuff in Molly and she’s practically following the spirit around. Gets annoying. Or like when there is a swarm MULE should sit still unless called. She’ll straight up get you killed.

Functionality for MULE in certain mission types: Heavy cutter
Certain planets will have a chamber completely encircled in heavily dense ore, unable to be picked or blown through. Bringing the MULE to this extremely dense chamber will allow for the team to activate a heavy drill/laser that can go down into the chamber. Chamber should be filled with praetorians, bulk detonators, or multiple dreadnoughts, awoken upon entering the chamber. The chamber will have multiple chunks/ores on the wall/etc that are worth it, but to get to them you must obviously defeat the swarm/big bois and figure out a proper zipline system to retrieve them. There will be multiple points of entry, but once used the heavy cutting device can't be used again, so if you make a hole that drops down the ceiling of the chamber, you have to strategically use engineer platforms and zipline to escape with the goods. Bottom of the chamber? Much easier to just drop everything down.
This could easily replace my more complicated idea for a meteorite cutting mission, as it is much simpler, and automated. It could be its own game mode as well, but i just felt a slight modification and simplification of my idea should also be proposed.
carmine kindle
Blackout bug. Bug that extinguishes all torches (regular + scout torches) around itself in a certain radius (10-20 meters радиус), as well as any new torches that fall into this area. Plus, need so that this beetle to create a group of ordinary bugs around itself (same as Glyphid Warden). Theoretically, with a sufficient radius of this blackout effect, a region of darkness would be created with bugs that would be difficult to see. Darkness in this game kills very well, albeit not literally. It is ideal, of course, for such an enemy to be small in size, but with a small amount of health for balance. A small bug that will do a lot of trouble if it appears at the right time. There is only darkness around, and there are many problems if you do not destroy such a bug in time.

to add onto @summer pond ideas, i think there should be at times a vertical set of caves, that force you to build your own horizontal caves in between. that or make more giant pits/drops where there wouldn't be anything but a long fall. the structures indeed right now need some more variety than just tunnel/chamber/tunnel. I know water is an idea past the beaten horse stage but if you had a solid floor that couldn't be broken through or showed no chambers beneath, and were surrounded by non-mineable ore (or the dwarf wagged his finger as if to say that's not a good idea.) you could get a bit more variety inside them. pools of acidic water would be possible too, we have pools of lava we cant mine through.

Customization options for more things, like the Drop Pod or Resupply Pods. In the case of the Drop Pod it's the hosts version, and with resupply pods it's whoever called it in. Can't fit text for both in one post so this post is Drop Pods then next I'll post resupply pods
Drop Pods get some cosmetics like
-new hanging things where the fuzzy dice currently are (like a plushie Steeve or some barrels)
-Trucker-dash style little knicknacks to put near the monitors inside (like the hula/guitar-girl you see in movies on trucker dashboards)
-Changing the style/color of the interior lights
-Changing the style/material/color of the seats and maybe even moving them from a line to some other position
-The big interior changes could be reserved for different versions of the Drop-Pod (Drop Pod Mk1, Drop Pod Mk2, etc, like our armor) (maybe one Drop Pod has 4 different seating areas instead of 1 big one?)
And a non-cosmetic customization option; Drop pod module slot, a single customization spot for equipment built into the sides of the drop pod so during the initial descent & retrieval it can assist you. examples are like
-A turret on each side of the doors so you have a little extra firepower if it deploys you in the middle of a big group
-Launchers near the top that throw & shoot extra long-lasting flares around the room it lands in, maybe some of are sized like resource packs and you can carry/throw them around till they expire
-Sonar detector that immediately maps the surrounding area (50m radius) and highlights mineral/resource deposits within that area for the first 2 minutes
-Tracking module that increases the likelyhood of cargo crate/lost pack/machine event spawns (it homed in on their location during descent and dropped you into a cave system closer)
-Tracking module that increases the Hazard rating of the mission by .5 (it searched for large concentrations of Glyphids and homed in on them during the descent) maybe they're 1 module and you get both effects
Resupply Pods get function changes, with you being able to select a single additional module/feature to be included in the pod built into the top or something.
Examples of types of modules:
-Rotating spotlight(s) on top that lasts forever, also fully restocks your flares when you collect ammo
-One additional ammo pack, if you just press the interact button you'll pick it up and carry it (like a Jadiz), drop it and hold button to collect ammo
-Empty resource pack, can deposit up to 60 of each resource into the pack, then pick it up and carry it somewhere to deposit it
-Portable light source, pick it up and carry it, deploy it somewhere and interact with it to attach it to the ground, then it provides constant (effective) light (till it's destroyed by something)
-Deploys Plascrete foam on the way down to fill in the holes it drills, so you don't have to worry about falling in on the way back up
-Generator gives a shield recharge speed buff to those within 4m of it (weaker than Shield Link, doesn't stack)
-LMG Mk1 (no mods) built into the top to protect the immediate area, cannot be reloaded
-Single use shield generator, activate it and it'll bubble the resupply pod and immediate area to allow you to safely resupply. Shield size & duration is like Gunner shield with no mods.
-L.U.R.E. launcher built in, interact with the module to launch a LURE away, has several charges
-Bomb Dispenser (like Nanite Bomb Dispenser, but bigger & stronger bombs) built into the top holding 1 or 2 bombs, collect a bomb and move it like a Jadiz, place and interact with it to arm timer. Very big explosion, approaching bulk detonator initial explosion size
-The first time enemies get close to it, it sends out a pulse, like when Bosco revives, and nearby enemies flee.
-Each pack is linked to an IFG, when you begin collecting an ammo pack it activates the IFG. Indicator lights on the packs show if the IFG for that pack has been used yet.

Rework Engineer to a "basebuilder" role, kinda like the TF2 engineer. In his current state, his turrets are far too weak and his only truly powerful weapons are his grenade launcher and breachcutter. Other classes already have AOE capabilities. His platforms are good, but more situational than other mobility tools and generally get outclassed by ziplines and drillers. In my opinion, he doesn't feel unique and powerful enough when compared to other classes. So here's my thoughts:
- Hefty buffs to the turret, but make it take significantly longer to build. Not enough to rival gunner DPS, but close.
- A new dispenser tool for the engineer. It's a small, deployable device that SLOWLY regenerates the health and armor of dwarves that stand near it.
- Nerfs to the grenade launcher and breachcutter so that engineer doesn't become overpowered.
- An upgrade for the turrets that allows several smaller, weaker, faster building turrets to be built as opposed to just one. This will allow for an interesting, more mobile or spread-out playstyle for engineers that prefer it.
- More deployable traps/obstacles for the engineer, like a heavy duty fence. It blocks melee attacks, but can be shot through by both enemies and teammates. It breaks once damaged enough by melee attacks.
With these changes, engineer's job would be to fortify a strategic position, like an objective or resource (for example, a minehead or mini-mule, valuable ores, etc). Let's say you're playing Hazard 5 and a swarm has caught your team by surprise and you're at a positional disadvantage. The engineer could use the few seconds before the wave arrives to provide defenses that turn this very lethal situation into a potentially survivable one.

QoL Suggestion #3
Today's is a tiny adjustment and more personal preference, but carries that added sense of polish. After consuming your beer, while dancing, when you throw it have it fly away the direction your dwarf is facing rather than where the camera is pointed (since the camera can freely rotate around your dwarf). This will smooth out the 3rd person view and make it less jarring when your dwarf winds up to throw in front of him and instead the mug flies off to the side.

Region-specific enemies for the Crystal Caverns:
- Glyphid Storm Warden. Based on (and replaces) the Warden, but faster moving, with less health, and an attack similar to the Naedocyte Shocker zap. Instead of granting a defence buff, it grants a movement speed buff and a lighting damage bonus to enemy attacks.
- Crystalline Exploder. Based on the Exploder, embedded with sharp crystals. Has more health than a regular exploder but moves slower. The actual explosion is smaller but it fires out damaging shrapnel.
- Razorshard Sprayer. Based on the Spitball Infector. Instead of a single big projectile, shoots a "machine-gun" like barrage of shards after the wind-up. Unlike the Infector, you can't shoot down its bullets. However, it's bad at tracking moving targets, so if you're just running perpendicular to it, it'll be constantly shooting where you were a moment ago.

Replace Hyper Propellant (pgl 40mm unstable overclock) to kinda Tandem shots.

You'll be aware of discussions being had in many places about whether the cryo cannon buffs have gone too far and made the weapon overpowered. If the decision is taken to tone back the weapon, I would like to strongly suggest that nerfs are made to the chargeup time and the cold stream reach first. I enjoyed how the old cryo cannon, with a shorter reach and punishing spinup, felt very different to the flamethrower in how I had to operate it. Now that it has the same range and an inconsequentially short spinup, it feels like the same weapon but with ice instead of fire - which gives far less variety to the class and makes it less interesting.

My friend thinks the weapons feel weak. It's not really related to stats, it's more a game feel thing. So while I don't really mind, obviously some players will, and it's the kind of thing you notice when looking at video of the game, since you're not really focused on the gameplay, so I think it's important, and it's a perfect fit for a last tweaking to the game before launch since it won't really impact gameplay.
so just do everything in the book to add "game juice". Screen shake (with an option to disable it), a hit marker with a satisfying sound (and a different feedback when hitting a critical point), more meatier sounds for the weapons, more dramatic weapons animations, more particle effect, a flinching animation on enemies when they are hit...

I suggest introducing stamina to the game. Right now the sprinting is the only way of moving between point A and point B. With stamina, you would need to conserve it for important moment (swarm, dread, etc).
Adding a stamina also opens an opportunity to add stamina based perks, stamina based enemies, vegetation, mission modifiers and a lot more

Change reverse direction to another key, or allow it to be rebound. Currently you cannot grab an item while on the zipline because of this. Whether or not an oversight, if I use my zipline to get a single fossil, I shouldn't have to create a sometimes unsuccessful cut out for me to hop off onto. This pertains mostly to solo, but can also be for team oriented gameplay. It seems like you're meant to be able to grab it, but because reverse direction is the way it is, the game simply prevents you from grasping fossils and apoca blooms.
Deleted my old suggestion cuz I realized my mistake and what is actually happening. Seems like it wasn't meant this way but who knows. If the game just registered the grab command before the reverse command, this wouldn't happen.

Change the Flamethrower's Face Melter Overclock into variable damage for the Driller. In your face, the Flamethrower deals something like +70% damage, dropping to +0% at about 60% of your range. Damage will decrease past that point to something like -40%. This should make it feel more like something to both Melt Faces and melt stuff in your face. The sacrifice is effective range. Range upgrades would stretch the damage ranges as to not punish using the range upgrade on the flamethrower i.e. at 15 range, you will still have the -40% damage, and at 9m, you would be dealing effectively base damage. The range for full face melting may extend slightly with it.

QoL Suggestion #4
Adjustments to the overclock (OC) selection in the equipment terminal. Similar to QoL suggestion #1, I'd like to see this changed to a click confirmation rather than just mousing over it. What I mean by this is that currently to open the OC selection you just have to mouse over the hexagonal icon in the terminal. After which a left click selects the OC you want. I want to change this to a left click to bring up a list of your overclocks then another left click to select the one you want.
It's a fairly large icon and easy to accidentally mouse over by mistake. This delays the selection of other gear modifications and becomes increasingly more annoying as time goes by.

A new idea for a M29 minigun unstable overclock “Heavy Barrels”
What Heavy Barrels does:
+dramatically increases the amount of time you can fire the weapon before overheating
+faster recooling (even after overheat)
-slightly less firing speed (this helps with overheating a little bit)
-dramatically less ammo (have to make up for that extra weight some how)
-longer spin-up time

Currently, Reg Sugar and Resupply pods are the only sources of health. Sometimes Red Sugar is rather scarce and it makes no sense to take a resupply just for health when you have over half your ammo/equipment. To remedy this, a new "med bomb" tool can be added for one of the classes. It is thrown like a grenade and creates a temporary gas cloud that slowly heals all dwarves that stand in it. Supplies are limited, so it cannot just be spammed when someone is missing a small chunk of health.

I've been playing with the shotgun spread upgrades (warthog choke and shaped shells overclock) recently and I feel the benefit they provide has been strongly overestimated by the balance team. The spread decrease is in both cases not nearly strong enough to make the shotguns viable against distant targets (such as macteras or spitter type enemies), meaning the upgrades basically just allow you to engage close range enemies at a slightly further distance. This additional effective range is slight and not nearly enough to compete with the significant damage bonuses that can be gained from alternative options, in both cases. In the case of the choke, I would suggest increasing the effect, to make it more viable against distant targets. This would have the added benefit of increasing the ways in which engineer can be played and encouraging creativity in builds. In the case of the shaped shells overclock, I would reduce the pellet penalty to one less, rather than two - right now I can register a higher than 50% increase in my damage by using stuffed shells instead, which is just too much more for me to consider swapping them over.

Probably a repeat suggestion, but - Allow Machine Events to reward players with Blank Matrix Core Components.
Description - Players who don't own a Blank Matrix Core upon completion of a Machine Event will be given Blank Core Components. Players must complete three Machine Events to get all components necessary for a full schematic, at which point they'll be able to craft a Blank Core at the Forge.
Why - It'll add a secondary way for players to get these cores and gives them more incentive to do Machine Events by giving them better rewards than just XP and such when they run through the supply they acquired from the Deep Dives and Weekly Assignments.

New enemy type: Mactera assassin. Big black ichneumon wasp looking thing, with the typical Mactera "yellow glowing vulnerable patch". Very quiet and stealthy, sneaks up on dwarves and poisons them, dealing damage-over-time through shields.
Purpose: a "spot check" enemy that you want your allies to look out for. Its ability to damage through shields means it can deplete your resources even when it's alone, but because it deals damage over time, it's less threatening in a wave, plus you can still run away and grab red sugar to survive even if you get stung enough to kill you.
Currently, the "sneaky bastard" role is filled by exploders, which are simply too punishing since a small group will often cause a one-hit down even if you notice them before they explode. Giving this role to a new enemy would allow the exploders to be given a louder and more distinctive sound cue, to reduce the occasions on which they cause sudden, near unavoidable death.

New weapon idea for Gunner: hand crank Frank. A high caliber medium capacity Gatling, reloads from a hopper that needs to be topped off every so often with the upside of no overheat. Due to its crank nature it can't reach the rate of fire that an ordinary minigun could but it packs a much larger punch.
gaunt latch
To build off of the previous suggestion, each class gets a new weapon that has to be built from parts found in lost packs, cargo crates, and other special events people can find stuff from. These weapons aren't as high-tech as modern weapons (hence the gunner one being hand-cranked). More like antiques (or based on antiques) for the discerning dwarf.

The recent nerf to the minigun’s lead storm OC was a bit much. It often relied on the minigun’s stun chance to maintain space between yourself and swarms given the 0% movement speed while firing. Movement is a key part of survival in this game and its value can’t be measured the way damage, reload speed, rate of fire, and other numerical stats can. Its high cost of rendering yourself immobile during a weapon’s firing (especially one that often requires sustained firing like the minigun) should be rewarded with its previously awesome destructive potential.

If only one player misses the doors on the drop pod, Mission Control should make a comment "Looks like one of your miners missed the countdown. We're sending him in on his own personal pod. Next time it's being deducted from your mission payout." Then have the player dropped right next to the regular drop pod. I think it'd be a comical thing, especially if there was an achievement attached to the event. I'd also love to see a play on this if it was ever added, this is really a friends idea to begin with, this last part is my addition: if there are four players and one of the players puts a barrel in his seat in place of himself, an achievement should be given, called "Barrel of Monkeys" or maybe something like "Just act naturally."

Make it so on the shop screen, the last item you hovered persists. This way items you want to see the back of can be rotated fully without having to do it backwards. Currently as it stands to see an item you don't have in full view, you have to rotate the item you have selected in shop, and hover back over the one you want, jumping to and fro to see all the details. Just make the last item hovered in the shop persist on the selection side, so we may see what we are considering buying. It's a small QoL but I know at least 12 players I regularly drop with that would greatly appreciate rotating armor they haven't bought to see the front and the back, and not doing it the very tedious way it is now.

Mission control: Alright team listen up. In the early days of DRG, management wanted to access a system of caves too deep for drop pods to reach, and had elevators installed that could. Your job is to reactivate them and head down to collect the very rare "artoromite."
Team fights it's way to the elevator and starts it up
Mission control: good work. Before heading down, be aware you will be beyond commination range, and I won't be able to assist you. One more thing, scanners show something big moving around down there. Good luck.
Team enters the elevator and descends quite a ways
Then the place you arrive at has no natural light sources and your team does what it needs to do and gets out.

In a similar vein to the leech grabbing a mactera with a dwarf, more interactions between abductors should happen. When 2 or more cave leeches are nearby each other, they should fight over who gets to eat you. A trawler should try to snatch you from a grabber, or a leech, or vice versa. If 2 or more trawlers are in a pit, sometimes they should snatch you from each other. Make leaving these guys alive even more chaotic, and force people to make them priority targets.

Some Pickaxe mods (perhaps tier 3?):

Mineral Attunement: Power attacking mineral veins will cause the entire vein to explosively shatter, immediately (and messily) dislodging it.

Removal of the Fastest speed on the Barrel game.

Add an "alternative" mission type. I'll explain...
"Alright miners, usual mission, go in, collect enough-" mission control is interrupted by a loud bang on the pod
It comes through scratchy, but you can hear "Miners, you've been - off course prepare for a - landing!"
The pod lands, but you and your team (or bosco) are inside of a glyphid nest, organic matter and other various resources cover the walls. The objective now is to survive. Luckily for you, there is plenty of nitra nearby (Between 150 - 250 nitra ore)
You'll have a few moments to terraform the landscale before the bugs finally investigate what is going on.
Once they arrive, it'll be wave after wave, with mission control sounding frantic trying to get another pod to get you out of there.
I would think you'd have to reach a specific time in the mission to survive, and each biome would have its own respective type of nest with the unique enemies. Like the sand sharks on sandblasted, etc.
When I mentioned alternative, this would be more of just another mission type that feels like it isn't. More for immersion purposes.

create a depositing chute inside the space station. when a miner doesn't deposit into the MULE, drop pod, or minehead before extraction and they take it back to the space station, let them now place it in the space station depositing chute upon return. i think this would be a neat little way to add some more life to the mechanics of the game. it's not like they can teleport your materials from inside, let us do that to give a little more something to do inside the station before the next turn over. even better, just make a ladder to the side of the drop pod in the station, and have Mission Control, annoyed, say "Miners, you really need to remember to deposit BEFORE extracting."
addendum idea: make a tip jar at the abyss bar, where you can, instead of depositing, tip the Bosco bartender. additionally have a comment from Mission Control "that isn't even a real tip jar, he's a robut, he can't spend credits. we put that jar there as a joke." have it track the amount you deposit, though dont show it on screen. at certain counts of materials, the bartender celebrates, plays music, and gives out a free round of drinks tied to that specific material as a thank you.

In the interest of having More Things To Obtain in the game, how about equipment overclocks?
Most or all of the pieces of gear that don't currently have overclock slots would now have them, such as C4, the platform gun, and ordinary throwable flares.
Some specific example ideas:
Flare gun: Actinic Compound - when fired, flares have greatly increased light radius, on the order of several times normal, but the light radius immediately begins reducing, dropping to the normal radius over the course of 20-30 seconds. Downside: the normal light radius is reduced.
Tracking Darts - adds the M1000's focus mode to the flare gun. Charged shots consume two flare ammo but the resulting flare creates a marker on the terrain scanner.
Micro-flare Launcher - reduced ammo count, but pressing the trigger again while a flare is in flight causes the flare to fragment into a dozen or so smaller flares which spread in a shotgun-style cone pattern.
C4: Tunnel Borer - instead of carving out a sphere, Tunnel Borer C4s would carve out a dwarf-sized tunnel that's 10-15 meters long. And instead of being thrown, the Tunnel Borers would have to be placed on a surface and oriented in the desired direction.
Daisy Cutter - instead of a sphere, the C4's explosion is a disc that travels parallel to the surface the C4 is thrown onto. Less damage, larger radius.
Platform gun: see Spessforce1701's suggestion in this channel from 10/17/2019 for some good examples. (Search "overclock platform" to find it easily.)
Thrown flares: I think these would be mostly cosmetics, such as a selection of visual trails on the moving flares or possibly models that aren't the generic tube (assuming the latter wouldn't be too much of a performance hog).

Make the noise for when you fully complete the meter on a resupply different from the noise if you cancel the resupply by walking away. Currently they are the same, and it can confuse you if you're trying to keep peripherals on enemies. If the finished sound was more of a positive boop, and the walk away cancel remained the sorta negative twang it was now, it'd be a nice tidy finishing to one small detail, as well as a secondary indicator for when it's finished. You can cancel a resupply at what seems a microscopic fraction of a second short of completing the meter. This can be confusing, and annoying.
addendum: it'd be an extra nice flourish to resupply pods, if the lights on the pack you were resupplying at, changed to the associated color theme of each dwarf (green, yellow, blue, red.) i say this because if you resupply with teammates at the same time, sometimes a teammate can resupply at the same pod, and despite seeing the meter, you will not resupply. this happens simply because of the radius of the E prompt. this would remove that confusion as if you didn't see your color you'd know they had hit E there first.

New gimmic beer idea: Dally's Dawdlejuice. Needin' to quench a thirst but wanting to stay sober for the job? Dally's Dawdlejuice's got ya' covered! Brewed to a surprisingly low ABV of 0.0001, this fruitjuice will be sure to dampen that throat and keep you sober for at least a while longer! (WARNING: Not recommended for miners and other employees working long, tedious times in dangerous environments!) On its own, Dally's Dawblejuice has no effects, however when paired with other gimmic beers, the effects of those other gimmic beers are delayed until your next mission. Significantly increases the length of other gimmic beers.
Basically, the idea of this drink is to allow us do missions under the effects of other gimmic beers. In order for this to work, you must drink dawdlejuice first before drinking any other gimmic beers.

"Brace for impact miners, something is blocking your path back to the station."

If you fail you still get your mission rewards but no bonus.
This idea can be adapted and expanded a lot further of course but the main thrust of having an unexpected interruption when you think you are safe is a cool idea and something to look forward to.

**Idea: Deepest Dive
TL;DR - A Once a month mission, taking you to a special biome where gravity is lower, the bugs are bigger, and the payout is larger. **
In order to unlock the Deepest Dive, you would need to Complete a "Setup" deep dive, with a preset mission structure, (Mining/Aquarq collection -> Uplink To Rig For Reinforced Pod -> Descent (Protect the Reinforced drop pod as it chews through 3 layers of extremely dense bedrock, in addition to needing to stay alive you need to protect the Pod).
After you Breach into the "core" you are greeted with bigger, tougher bugs, more frequent swarms, and 3 optional objectives with a TON of resources all around you. (Optional objectives would be egg collection, mining, killing a queen, or other "quick" missions) You could do any of these objectives but you would need to do at least 1 to leave.
Restocking ammo and supplies would require you to go to the reinforced pod. No supply drops. The amount of Nitra you collected in the initial deep dive would go towards how much extra supplies you have.
The Gravity is lower meaning you move faster and jump higher but so do the beasties. In addition, less gravity allows for bigger bugs to thrive, (this includes the queen, mother of all bugs).
Swarms would come near constantly. Make good use of your time and get on those objectives.

New enemy idea: Manti'Naar. Large, scionic hunter-like mantid creatures that prey on glyphids and miners alike. These large mantid-like predators come in three different forms: warriors, knights, and hunters.
The warriors are the lowest class of the Manti'Naar hiararchy. They're stronger than armored glyphid drones and more lethal than glyphid slashers. Manti'Naar warriors can be tamed with the highest level of the bug tamer perk. Manti'Naar Knights are tough, armored manti'naar that put up one tough hell of a fight. These hulking bulwark walls on legs are the equivalent to praetorians and oppressors, having a lot of armor and able to move rather quickly for their size. Knights can charge, pinning the player they're after while knocking everyone else back. The hunters are different to the warriors and knights. Instead of getting directly involved in the chaos, hunters lurk in the shadows and pick on stray glyphids or players. Hunters are weak, but make up for it with their quick, nimble mobility. Hunters can pin their targets against the ground and will flee at the first sign of trouble.
I think it would be interesting to have different factions of bugs that are aggressive towards one another and players alike, so I came up with this "faction" to serve as a predator to the glyphids. Of course Manti'Naars would be rarer than glyphids. Would it also be possible to make Q'Ronaars, Macteras, and Naetocytes aggressive towards each other until they're aware of the players' existance? Of course, to make sure they don't end up killing each other before players get to where they are, they deal significantly less damage to one another unless under the effects of the pheromones, or tamed.

We need a rejoin option, I just had an experience on an Elite Run in the end, it froze and I got disconnected. When I checked the run was still active with the other players. This is probably the 4th time I had it happened on an deep dive and really not having an option to rejoin is a turn off moment. I didn't lose internet connectivity and it seems the other 2 didn't either with the host. If I was part of the run as long as I wasn't kicked out there should be a rejoin saving grace after I spent 1 hour only to get disconnected on the last objective.

QoL Mini Suggestion aka something I haven't fleshed out in my head yet
The ability to compare two separate loadouts side by side for the same class. Basically take a look at the stats of say the primaries in loadout slot A & B without having to go back and forth. Throw in some Green and Red numbers to show which value is better for ease of viewing. Works great if you're comparing a build of the GK2 around a certain OC against a different build of another GK2 around another OC. Makes it easy to compare without having to constantly switch between two loadout slots or write down the numbers.

I love the way cave generation varies between biomes! Here are a few new cave features to help emphasise the differences between biomes:
- Giant stalagmite. Shows up only in Crystal Caverns; basically an enormous (~20m high) crystal stalagmite in the middle of a cavern.
- Rock sponge. Shows up in Fungus Bogs. Instead of one big cave, lots of tiny ones linked together by a multitude of little tunnels. Extra confusing.
- "River". A wide, shallow trough crossing the ground of a cavern. Shows up in fungus bogs (where the ground in it is sticky goo) or magma core (where the ground is hot rock).
- Frozen lake. Shows up only in glacial strata. A wide cavern with a low ceiling; the ground is almost entirely slippery black ice with a few outcrops of boulders.
- Geode. Crystal caverns only. A close-to-spherical cave entirely encrusted in crystalline structures.
- Cliff wall. Sandblasted Corridors. Essentially: Generate a big cave. Then fill half of it with solid rock, leaving a vertical cliff face.

New Mode Suggestion Legendary Deep Dive ~ Instead of 3 sets of regular objectives, it's a special mission. The drop pod goes so deep that it runs off course and loses functions (Like the Salvage mule op) . Immediately you are forced to survive X(5?) waves until a random communications crate is dropped (somewhere in the map), and this repeats 3x with increasing difficulty (More praetorians, some bulks, ect.) Until you complete the 3rd and final crate objective. While waiting for Mission Control to recalibrate the drop pod for retrieval (untimed), Final wave with a dreadnaught spawns. Why would it be a Legendary Deep Dive? Well, Waves would ideally be about 15 seconds apart (enough to get some mining done between waves without being overkill) or 5-10 minutes if previous wave incomplete (Only up to 5 waves until the following crate is complete), leaving little room to breathe and not allowing for exploitation (i.e leaving 1 mobs alive, running to mine everything, then kill it, ect.). Keeping on the move and finding nitril + minerals to have enough ammo for all the waves and crate objectives. With the ever-so increasing size of waves and enemy types, managing ammunition and synergizing tactics becomes important, reviving becomes difficult with the constant hordes, crowd control becomes vital (stuns, slows, ect.). I also do believe this would make more un-used perks like vampire, shield link, or red crystal hp boost perks would be more meta as the need to heal would come up far more often.

It also gives more weight to actually upgrading Bosco as right now, I feel almost no real compelling reason to spend resources to upgrade him as the focus (and fun) is from the multiplayer experience. Maybe if you are concerned of having an entire team of flying Bosco units perhaps limit the number of them on a team or increase the spawn of flying/projectile units for the number of Bosco?

A few suggestions (I CTRL+F'd keywords from this and didn't see anything, so apologies if there's a duplicate suggestion) -
-
Seeing Teammates Shields - Would it be possible to see teammates shields above their health in the HUD UI? It'd be nice to have in general, but it would also help make the Shield Boost perk useable without having to guess/ask about a teammates shield percentage. As of right now, it feels like guess work.
-
Health + Shield w/HUD Turned Off - Would it be possible to have health and shields viewable in some way on the laser pointer when toggling the HUD off? Maybe not built in normally, but as a menu toggle or something? While working on the DRG Trailer competition I played in no-HUD mode, which was awesome, but the only thing I felt was missing was a way to see my own health/shields. Most weapons have good ammo counters, and the minerals can be guessed based on what you can pick up, but health and shields don't have anything (as far as I can tell).
-
Seeing the Map w/HUD turned off - Right now the map can't be viewed when the HUD is toggled off. Not a big deal, but feels a tad off.

Problem: So far armor breaker is rarely of use, because most enemies have a weakspot you can shoot at.

The Sililcate-Harvester is a passive creature. My thought is to give him some sense in his life.
It stays a passive creature. But know he has an AI. He walks now to minerials on the ground and eat it. The minerial isn't gone. If he eats enough of minerials he will be shiny in many colours that represents the minerals that it eat.
So if he glows and you kill it it will drop a shard of the minerial what he eats.
And this doesn't mean that he throws shards away per 1 minerial. At a undefiend (lets say 12) number he starts to glow.
And i know there aren't shards for every minerial. So they have to make some for this interaction. If not they can make it like the Lootbugs that they throw it away with the explode. -not my favorit but easier to do.
The math would be 25 Gold/Nitra = 50 G/N Shard.
For the other minerials would it be a bit less i think.
Morkit is't his taste as are other Quest Minerials either.
And yes you can see him an enemy to. If he hasn't eat enough to glow. He will not drop minerials. So you have to grab your minerals fast or he eats it away

Since we can now tame out very own Steeve's and since the dwarves all seem to think loot bugs are cutie pies, why not keep one on the rig as a pet? But, being of the mind that all things should serve some sort of function, it can act as a sort of loot box. By spending resources (maybe just straight up spending credits) you can feed your little bugger the junk leftover minerals from the refining process, always a random amalgamation of whatever Deep Rock can't use. Whenever you've decided he's gotten fat enough, you can pop him open and see what minerals his digestive system has managed to process together into useable materials. Then get a new pet and start all over again. So basically, pay credits (maybe just once between missions) to build up the loot bug, then pop it whenever you want to get random resources in amounts that correspond to the amount of credits you put in to begin with. Might also want to limit how often you can get a new one, maybe a week long cooldown after killing one.

Engineer Suggestion - Allow the Engineer to have additional major adjustments he could make that changes the direct style of his turret. Examples below -
Flame Turret - Turns it into a flamethrower. Deals flame damage at the cost of range.
Mobile Sentry - Allows the turret to fly and follow the user or a teammate the user marks at the cost of damage and ammo capacity.
Digger Bot - Turns the turret into a Bosco-esque Mining Drone that can mine and dig just as well at the cost of removing major damage.

if the player die 3 times, friends can't revive him and after 20 seconds he will drop everything that were in his pockets and maybe a little bit of ammo.

I think it would be useful if we were able to see the line of sight of the turret(s) equipped with defender system once it is deployed. Maybe while we are using the scanner, of while we have the turret selected. To avoid flooding the screen, we could deactivate it with the same option "sentry gun" in the UI options.

NEW DEEP DIVE IDEA: Extreme Deep Dives --- If any of you have played GTFO I think it should act similar to this. 3-5 different missions combined into one. You launch to an unknown planet for rumored rare ores. You start higher up in the depths of the planet. As the levels progress new enemies arise and they are much more difficult to deal with. The tasks also get harder. A new component i would like to see is it gets DARKER as you go down. Flares become a very important and scarce resource. Maybe something like limiting the flares but the flares are permanent? Maybe some hard boss at the end of it. I would like these missions to be like level 6 difficulty. You NEED a coordinated team with resource management and communication to defeat this deep dive. I would also thing that these caves can be hand made by the devs so there is some kind of structure to them. Waves at certain areas and such. I want a challenge devs. HIT ME

Dumb Idea #2205385: New Mission: Extraction Salvage "A poor crew of miners got sent down here for a point extraction, and got just about everything. Management wants you to, at minimum, get the minehead working again. If you can grab any minerals the previous team left in the walls that's more for the taking." You are supplied with Molly on this mission. Scattered around the cave are 1-4 broken Repair-Boscos that I'll nickname Rob. Find their arms, repair all of them, and return them to a charging station management provides you. They will follow any dwarf on the team around and can be used like a normal, completely unupgraded Bosco. Once all Robs are done you can send them to the minehead platform and must defend them from glyphids while they weld the rocket back together. Once it's all together, it'll launch the rocket off immediately, and you are able to continue exploring the cave freely and can call the drop pod on Molly at any time.

I think that a completion indicator for cargo crates and lost equipment could be nice.
It would be the same size and location as the ones for machine events. For cargo crates, it would appear when you insert 1 battery, and for lost equipment, it would appear once you get the terrain scanner data. In both cases, they would only show up as completed once everyone on the team claims their reward.
I think it would be a good way for people to know if everyone got their item (in case the team got separated before the crate/equipment was found) before calling the drop pod.

Would be covered in a destructible shell of crystal, with three spires rising out from atop it's front, middle, and back, each of which glows with energy related to the biome it's in.
Melee Attack - A swift forward charge at players when within range.
Ranged Attack - Launches one of it's three spires near a targeted player, and upon contact with a surface the crystal will emit a damaging effect around it like the radiation crystals, with the effect being based on the biome you're in - so Magma Core would have heat damage, Glacial Strata cold damage, etc...

Quality of Life / UI: Make the Forge Inventory resources reflect the order of your resource bar at the top and separate Credits off the list.
Ex: Right now my Full Chamber Seal Overclock says- 7850 Credit, 120 Bismor, 75 Jadiz, 110 Magnite.... but thats a completely random order from my resource bar at the top.
If it followed the same order my Resource Bar goes in it would go: 75 Jadiz, 110 Magnite, 120 Bismor | 7850 Credits
Its a very small detail but it'd add even more clarity to newer players when looking at their resource needs with minimal changes.

I feel like the width mods for the Breach Cutter feel a little weak. I would suggest splitting the BC's 'Triple Split Line' T5 mod between the T2 + T3 beam width mods.

Alternatively you could keep the triple line mod as is and just make the mods marginally buff the vertical height of the beam hitbox too.

Deep dives can give you egg hunts, dreadnought eliminations, morkite mining, or black box salvage as secondary objectives, but there's no secondary objective equivalent to point extraction. Here's a suggestion:
The scanning platform spawns in one large cave, near the centre. Once repaired, it recalls Molly so she can't be used to deposit the objectives. The scanner deploys a grinder, a gun, and a searchlight, and Aquark-like gemstones spawn in the cave walls (along with wall sparkles to make them easier to find). Enemy spawns are constant and relentless until enough (I'm thinking four; just over half the length of a short point extraction) of the not-Aquarks have been mined and loaded in to the scanning platform. Once the objective is complete, the waves stop and the mule is released so the mission can continue.

brazen radish
would like to voice out certain suggestions based on my experience in hazard 5, as i do play at that difficulty exclusively nowadays.
- Swarms - would it be possible to increase the intensity of the spawns? maybe x2 or x3 of the current amount? this is due to a few reasons..
- players can easily choose to cheese the waves by using tunnels or bunkers, greatly alleviating the pressure a swarm is supposed to create.
- it would be even better to increase the chances of having a bulk detonator spawn during swarms as well , to either prevent or lessen down the relianace players have on them(tunnel strats).
- it does feel nowadays that glyphids come in small batches over an extended length of time, having an increased amount of spawns within a shorter timeframe would encourage players to lure mobs together for big splash damage saving ammo in the process, who doesn't like big explosions?
- Nitra spawns - there's an abundance of nitra veins in the map making it less important to aim for weakspots damage to save ammo.
- Red Modifiers - i feel it would be great to have additional modifiers instead of 1, for example: low oxygen & lethal enemies would promote teamwork and staying together to accomplish the objectives.
In summary , i feel it would be great if everyone that plays Deep Rock Galactic would work together with each other to complete missions, perhaps the GSG team would introduce stuff like these to encourage that behaviour.
Thank you for your time, Rock & Stone !!

Just a little suggestion but I guess it will be appreciate.

What about a daily challenge system. There not like assignments but rather everyday you are given 3 new objectives you can complete for minerals or credits. These challenges can be like: Complete a Hazard 4 mission, obtain 300 gold in one mission, kill 4 dreadnoughts.
The challenges can reset each day and you get three a day that reward based on their difficulty. ( Maybe you could receive a bonus if you complete all daily challenges for a week)

Qol Suggestion #5 - A lot more involved than my other suggestions and least likely to be implemented. - High framerate animations for weapons and equipment.
Killing Floor 2 does this incredibly well with 120fps animations (because they have to with the slow motion bits). Even outside of the slow motion parts I have noticed and enjoyed the buttery smooth animations for weapon handling and firing.
I'd like to see something like that in DRG. I do realize that many people don't have monitors above 60hz. It's like super sampling, you'll notice how smooth it is even without a higher refresh rate monitor. I think it'll greatly enhance the fluidity of weapon handling. Personally I find myself pressing R a ton even when my weapon is already loaded just to see the idle animation. It's one of those small things that takes a ton of work, but everyone will notice the quality of animation. Weapons like the Lead Storm Minigun and GK2 would benefit a lot from this. Since the actions move so quickly, having more positions per second results in a much smoother looking weapon firing animation. Once you go high framerate you can't go back.

Instead of trying to balance the weapons so the game doesn't become trivial, focus on adding actual challenge to the game.
The ability to kite almost every enemy in the game makes it possible for 1 good player to carry any mission at any level with no teamwork needed.

Allow charging more than 1 extra bullet in M1k. Use crosshair animation to show number of shots charged. High risk/high reward option that would help scouts perform better in a designated marksman role.

This feature would allow m1k focus builds to deliver the crazy punch that one would expect from a sniper rifle without actually increasing neither it's overall damage pool or dps.

EPC: Make the Persistent Plasma OC paired with Flying Nightmare function like the Plasma Trail mod on the Breachcutter. It should leave a Plasma Trail along the projectile's entire flight path and not only where the charged shot impacts, seeing as FN's focus has anyway been moved entirely away from the end explosion (and TCF's explosion got upgraded to leave behind the Persistent Plasma effect when detonated).
Currently PP with FN only leaves a plasma field where the FN projectile hits the terrain and gets destroyed.

For the upcoming update where the new promotions tiers are very likely to be implimented, i'd like to suggest a change that would keep the promotion system balanced like it currently is. Currently, with the Gold 3 Star prices (70k credits, 500x3 minerals), you are still able to get a marginal profit from leveling your class from level 1 to 25. With how the experimental prices though with Diamond 3 star prices (240k credits, 2000x3 minerals), you will always be at a detriment if you want to continue leveling your player rank until it stalls completely due to your stockpile running out. No matter how hard you can try (mineral mania/gold rush), you will not be able keep yourself afloat no matter how much of a stockpile you have. So to keep this issue from happening, i suggest making the price of Diamond 3 (70k credits, 500x3 minerals)the price of Gold 3 Stars where Gold 3 Stars price would go to like (35k credits, 300x3 minerals). I know not everyone plays just for the player rank but there would be no detriment to other playstyles if this was implemented.

Move the stunning effect from the slasher to the guard, as of right now the guard is effectively just a baby praetorian and doesn't offer much to the table bar a little defence whereas one slasher can spell out instant death with its high damage and stunning effect. Making the guard use its plates to get up into your face and then stun you leaving you open to other glypids. This would help make the guard a bit more unique and alleviate the frustration some players experience from the slasher.

Holding E to tame Steeve in its current state is far too clunky. If the Hold E feature has to stay, cut the required time in half. As it is right now, your target bug can simply just die to teammates before you can finish the taming or worse off on higher difficulties, outright kill you. Doesn't exactly feel great when either of those happen. That or give your taming target some kind of damage mitigation to keep teammates from accidentally killing it.

In relation to the EPC hotfix 8 and balance: Increase the damage upgrade of Reactive Shockwave (Tier 2 Charged Damage mod) from +15 each to +33 Each. This creates a much better option between choosing this and +0.5 radius. Instead of covering 45% more area and dealing much more potential damage across an area, you would have the ability to kill grunts in 1 charged shot within a small radius - which would also apply to flying nightmare. The total damage dealt to swarms would be decreased but the direct explosion would be made useful. With the Overcharger overclock it would fall just short of killing slashers by 15.6 HP unless you land a direct hit. It would not kill Guards. If need be, reduce the base radius to 1.0 with the Increased Plasma Splash providing +0.6 instead of +0.5.
Right now reactive shockwave only becomes slightly comparable with Overcharger on small swarms. Increased radius will still add up to much more damage against larger swarms with similar density.
Things have changed since Update 22 and the Flying Nightmare nerf. Before that it was mostly just swarmers, grunts, praetorians and dreadnoughts.

Mission Control should have dialogue relating to the current mutator in order to help newer players understand what the mutator does.

Make sprinting default, and hold/toggle SHIFT to walk. There is just no point of walking in this game, same with crouching and that's not a feature.
ALTERNATIVELY, make walking have a function instead of just being there for the sake of it. How about, if you WALK in front of Glyphid Tunnels, the swarmers don't wake up, or if you WALK near betsy, it won't wake up. This could be justified as it was changed to make the game more immersive. Surely it makes sense that if you walk quietly around sleeping enemies won't wake them up, and also addresses the issue of not having a proper reason for walking to exist

Shooting/mining cancels sprint instead of the reverse. No more awkward moments where you accidentally shoot or mine mid-sprint and nothing happens.

New enemy type: Cataphract. Similar to a Praetorian in many ways. It has a lot more health (1.5 to two times as much), but to compensate, the abdomen weak-point is much more vulnerable (200-300% damage instead of the current no multiplier). However, the abdomen is almost entirely covered in heavy (destroyable) armour. In terms of attacks, it has two main ones: A projectile similar to the Dreadnought's fireball, that can cover a long range and causes heavy knockback (and some ground carving) but low damage; and a trampling charge that does extremely heavy damage but is loud, obvious, and fairly easy to avoid. The cataphract is about as common as Oppressors.
The main purpose of the Cataphract is to provide an extremely juicy target for armour-shredding mods - once the armour is gone, it will die to weak point shots much faster than a praetorian. Other than that, it acts as a disruptive but non-deadly threat at long range with its projectiles, and a lethal threat that can't be ignored close-up.
Optionally, the Cataphract could be restricted to some biomes (such as salt pits and sandblasted corridors), to provide more variety.

Suggestion for an alternative Breach Cutter nerf since its a hot topic right now - instead of just straight nerfing it's numbers into the ground (again) make it a little more skill-based. The BC's line attack would have two separate damage values, with the center of the line dealing full damage and the outer edges dealing less damage, which would let the weapon still be effective against priority targets but slightly less of the swarm killer it currently is whilst still contributing somewhat.

If the suggestion above gets put into place ^, it would be great to have an OC that reverses that value. (my reason is because if you have the shoot to explode upgrade on your weapon it does massive center damage already).
Edit: To clarify I meant if the suggestion above gets added I would like an overclock that makes it have weaker damage in the middle and get stronger as it goes outward for the reason that if you have the shoot to explode Breach Cutter it does great damage in the middle

I want to discuss about a topic very cool in my opinion, the "combo" between weapons.
For example the gunner can have the OC Volatile Bullets of the "Bulldog" Heavy Revolver, and having the mod Hot Bullets in the "Lead Storm" Powered Minigun,
or the granade or simply having a driller you can do a very considerable of damage to the enemies.
Another example is the new mod Plasma Burn on the Experimental Plasma Charger, where you can use the cryo cannor to freeze the enemies and than you can do a lots of damage
with the other weapon thanks to the improved shock temperature.
I'd love to see some other "combo" in the other classes or something like that, it wuold be very funny to see. What do you think about that?

I like the idea of a different hub, similar to the space rig but one that offers slightly different types of missions. This rig would be sorta like a moonbase style space station that would be under the surface of the planet, You could go outside it with some missions actual being protecting it from waves of bugs. Others would have you take bigger mules that you strap into to different parts of the cave starting the mission. Replacing the drop pod. The biome that the moonbase hub thing would be in would change from week to week. You get daily missions as well as some more basic ones you can cue for at any time. It would sorta be like deep dives but instead of 3 missions in a row, it's a number of missions that sorta makes up a somewhat simplistic version of a L4D campaign. Special karl lines, new opportunities to get matrix cores maybe. I also liked the idea that you could upgrade the "moonbase" as I keep calling it as you go. Like certain missions to gather materials are actually to build a new area of the hub. Thought it would be cool. Let me know what you think in #suggestion-discussion !

When you activate a trytilite crystal event you have to press E on each of the 4 batteries powering lasers around the crystal. Sometimes the event spawns in a weird location and the side lasers are hovering in midair. This can make them difficult to reach because you can't press E unless you are on solid ground and engineer platforms don't stick to event structures.
So my suggestion would be to make the platform under each laser a bit bigger so that players have something to stand on and activating the battery is less of a jumping puzzle.

Haunted Cave Rework - Haunted Caves now host a new variety of spectral entities, but also have specialized drop pods and lanterns left abandoned by previous teams that can create safe havens from these monsters at the cost of precious minerals for it's fuel.
Description - Haunted Caves will now have a few more enemy types - Swarmer Packs and Grunts - in addition to the ghost bulk detonator, with these spectral enemies ignoring all forms of damage at the cost of some movement speed.
Scattered around in the caverns of these missions will be various light sources that emit special rays which banish these ghosts, with immobile sources providing huge safe havens and smaller light sources granting you safety on the go (at the cost of carrying a heavy object, leaving you vulnerable to living enemies.) These lanterns and lights will have a minor resource cost to activate, turning the material you mine into fuel to keep the lights going.

Some of the weapon overclocks have "bounce" effects where a shot will ricochet off a wall and strike a target, or bounce off one target and hit another.

I've really been enjoying this game but I'm a huge sucker for long grinds; could we get another weekly priority assignment available after completion of the initial one, which is much longer (5-10 missions) but maybe rewards less resources/money per mission?

Events could drop more XP if you use no core on it at the end. This would reward new players more as they have no access to cores, have them reach their first promotion faster and if you are promoted but ran out of cores, it would still be worth alot doing the event. There are alot more events then empty matrix cores. Instead of increasing the cores, it would be good to increase what you get for doing events without a core.

What about a new mineral? A puzzle piece. You mine it like the big minerals Jadiz or enor pearl. By bringing home a certain amount of puzzle pieces, you get a new item. The more puzzle pieces you bring back, the better the outcome is. So you can choose to hamster pieces for a high tier outcome or use just a few pieces for a low tier outcome. There could be a station like the forge where you can turn them in for a reward.
Example: You use 5 puzzle pieces and get a common beard piece or pickaxe piece. You use 20 pieces for a mid tier one, 50 for a high tier one and 100 for a piece you can only achieve that way.
Theese things could reward you in any way. New skins, overclocks, cosmetics and so on.
What about new events that work like a bet c? Imagine this, you beat an OMEN tower but instead of a matrix core filling station, you get to repair the tower and have a defense place on the map. Would also benefit people without cores. Or a repairing a mine for the mineral based glyphids you can only beat with the pickaxe (forgot the name) and it turns into a spawner that gets you one glyphid that fights for you until it's destroyed, then the station spawns another one after a cooldown.
Hmm... beer ideas.
-A beer that gives you a sprint bonus
-More carryweight
-increased jump height
-Nitra mining bonus
-Bonus for mining large minerals like Jadiz or Enor Pearl
I am not sure if that was suggested before so i wanted to post it. If it is the case, then i am aware it will be deleted. Just wanted to share it.

- Luminescent Lager - an eye-catching concoction of a beverage that causes you to shine as bright as Karl himself. (Illuminates a larger area around yourself.)
Also
Driller's drills - Clicking secondary attack / pickaxe will instead do a big punch forward with his drills, pounding in the face of any unfortunate glyphid with a big burst attack.

What about having veins that were marked appear on your scanners map? Once someone tags a vein with the laser pointer, it is as clearly visible on the map like molly or a piece you can pick up like an aquarx or mini mule leg. Same could be used for events or large enemies like spitballers, dreadnoughts or detonators.

okay that comes weird but what about a 2 tone skin section? you select a primary and a secondary skin color independant of each other.
Example: You use the gold paint of the supporter skin on gunner but the secondary green color can be replaced by any other skin color for theese patterns. just like the silver color of the standart skin

Give glyphid grunts the ability to dig through platforms, but they will only do this if there's no other way to reach a player. That way, you can't cheese salvage and black boxes with dumb, boring sealed bunkers anymore. Yes, I know oppressors, detonators and dreadnoughts can breach bunkers, but they don't spawn often enough to consistently foil sealed bunkers, so you can still get away with it in many cases.

The Salt Pits are pretty, but are a bit short on biome-specific hazards - I think they only have Q'ronar Younglings and the (kind of inconsequential) crumbling platforms and falling stalactites, so they feel kind of bland. Here's some ideas to spice them up a bit.
- Sinkholes. Small (about 2x supply drop width) holes in cavern floors, sometimes with a thin layer of white crumbly salt over the top, connecting to another tunnel or cave below. A heap of white salt below breaks your fall when you drop down, but now you're split up from the rest of the team.
- Salt spikes on floors which greatly increase fall damage taken. Destroyable by bullets and explosions so you can clear the ground quickly if you want.
- For a big change, maybe make acidic attacks like the Praetorian breath and Mactera Goo Bombers dissolve the terrain in this one biome only? It'd be particularly interesting to have Praetorians carve out big chunks of salt with their breath attack.
- Variants of enemy types, with a layer of breakable armour over the weak spot?
- A chance for a wave to be almost entirely Q'ronar (both younglings and shellbacks), along with a special wave announcement from mission control ("It's going to look like a bowling alley down there...")
junior gorge
New environmental hazard for Radioactive Exclusion Zone: Acid rain. Disables shields while it's ongoing, kind of like a temporary Shield Disruption effect. If this is too punishing - which it might well be - have it limited to just one cavern when it triggers, to reduce the danger of being caught in a swarm during acid rain.
humble quest
Mission warning that makes storms more often (the ones that make you walk slower eg on sand or ice biome)
junior gorge
Alternative to that; a "Treacherous Cave" mission warning. Biome-specific hazards like storms, crevasses, Deeptora Honeycomb, deadly plants etc. are more common. And the reverse, a "stable cave" mutator that makes them less common.
solemn cave
New negative modifier: “Foreign Organisms”. Enemies not form that biome can rarely spawn. Example: Imagine a trawler snatching you up in the fungus bogs. Or an ice bomber in the salt pits.

New Flair Addition: When you use the flair on the minigun for the gunner, you should be able to transfer that initial spin to your next shots. This way you can get a slight advantage in firing right out of the gate after you use the flair. Could just equate to the same amount of spread you get after you fire for 4-5 seconds.

please add a button to the drop pod, which starts the mission (or the countdown for the mission and can maybe also pause or stop the countdown) and can only be pressed by the host.
i try to get the archievement for all barrels in the drop pod, but sometimes i want to kick barrels deeper in and need to go in the pod, 5s before the mission starts is a little bit short for that, but it would work. but sometimes the mission starts even before the countdown reaches zero, in my last try i had only 3 barrels left, entered the pod for a sec and the mission started even befor the countdown reached 4, its a little bit annoying 😄
long osprey
One environmental hazard that could be added to the Radioactive Exclusion Zone could be anomalies, balls of light that illuminate it's surroundings and slowly move around the map. If you get too close, it could drain your shields, but not deal direct damage to you. And if you shoot it enough times, it releases a shockwave that damages and stuns nearby glyphids. (picture added to provide context as to what it would look like)

IF a profanity filter was ever implemented it shouldn’t simply blackout or delete the words. It would be much more in the spirit of the game to replace the profane words with things like leaf lover, elf or whale piper. That or any other Dwarven “insults” you can come up with.

What?
It could be great to have a mechanism to allow xp gain for a class youre not currently playing.
Why?
our specific use-case is that we are always the same 4 player team, so we chose classes at the start and now we are lvl 20-25 and won't swap roles because, well... lvl 1 grinding awaits.
It would reduce the barrier for playing characters other than your main.
Suggestion
once promoted, allow something along the lines of XP redirrection to a selected character, or you could share something like 25% of xp to all your characters.
To encourage learning your new classes by playing them, you could have a max level that you can reddirect this way, lets say lvl 15

Drunken wagers.
After drinking and based on how drunk you are you can start getting cocky and call up mission control (or maybe Karl) to show how they aren't better than you and how you can do the next mission with one hand tied behind your back (aka odd limiters that would otherwise make no sense). Another way of increasing credits and XP using self imposed limiters that if failed you lose a percentage of your rewards for that mission (Either you can still do the action and lose the bet when you do or it is actually locked out).
Next level drunken wagers could be placed as you are blacking out so that you don't even know what you agreed to until the mission starts messing up your prep.
Limiter examples, imagine your drunk dwarf shouting "I bet you I could clear the next mission..."
- Drunk
- Without using Weapon/tool X
- Only using my Primary/Secondary Weapon
- In under X minutes
- Without killing any bugs
- Without a resupply
- With only a pickaxe
- Without losing a single point of health
- WIthout scanning the terrain
- Without flares
- Without touching red sugar
- With 200+ kills (or based on kill bonus XP, forces player to stick around through extra swarms for no reason)

Now, I know that using Driller's drills offensively is more of a meme build, and I completely agree with that, but could it be possible to reshuffle the upgrades for the thing a bit so that you can have at least one extra fuel upgrade while going for it?
The upgrade on tier 1 is blocked by barbed drills and tier 4 is blocked by bloody cold drills, both of which are absolutely critical to the build. I think that swapping the tier 4 fuel capacity upgrade with the only tier 3 upgrade would be a nice touch. It probably would still be just a meme build, but why not?

It'd be nice if they were always one way so you can just glance at either the top or bottom number instead of reading both names then their number. It would save a fraction of a second, but it would make it a nice QoL adjustment.

The egg hunt should be a bit more interesting:
Whenever yoinking that egg from it's hefty and meaty "shell" around it, bugs tend to spawn and the egg is typically thrown either in the mule or off on to the floor while you fight. In the case that you throw the egg off to the floor to fight first, I feel the glyphids should try to "reclaim" their egg, where they would grab it and retreat to hide it in some nook or cranny in the cave.
For example, if you were to mine the egg, and mission control announces a swarm, and molly happens to be 50 or so meters away with your mates, you would drop the egg and fight. Now say this is a haz 4/5 swarm and thus you're busy fighting for a decent time, restocking, etc. During the dwarves' busy work, a glyphid grunt or maybe praetorian would pick up the egg and secure it elsewhere.
After all, the glyphids did take the effort to try and murder you for theft, so why not steal what was stolen? This would add a bit more realism than 20+ glyphids jumping you and after 5 or so minutes the egg they jumped you for hasnt moved an inch.

With all the new ways to customize our dwarves, it can be kind of tedious to change the look of each class for each loadout. Especially when people may not have a lot of items available to customize with.
I suggest an "Equip to all loadouts" button so that cosmetic sets can be easily applied to all loadouts of a class. The pickaxe could also have an "Equip to all classes and loadouts" to quickly apply one pickaxe look to every dwarf and loadout.

Suggestion: Implement a split between "steel" and "armoured" types of cosmetics. Currently they both mean the same thing, but each type of hair item could have both variants with "steel" being the current silver colour and "armoured" being coloured the same texture as your armour suit. I think that would look cool and provide more customization options.
strong vector
So this is a long shot, but hear me out. What if there was a rare random event or mission that occurs (obviously at random) while in the space rig where an alarms goes off and mission control states some emergency has happened, for example some species on Hoxxes has evolved to a massive scale and can fire projectiles out of orbit and is great risk to the space rig (could have some cool sentry guns outside the big window firing at massive yellow spores flying towards the rig to add to the effect of the alarm). Mission control gives you a minute or so to prepare your team and you launch down planet side. R&D has great interest in collecting samples from the newly evolved creature for weapons development.
Now the twist is I think it would be cool if you paired up with another team of dwarves who land in the far side of the cave, and you both need to fight your way towards the center of the map where the heart or the base or whatever of the massive creature is and attempt to kill it. Some sort of boss fight. Both teams could have a prototype BETSY like mule that holds either a mounted plasma weapon or maybe some sort of single shot weapon the dwarves can pick up to attack weak points around the heart or base or whatever. Mission control would provide the capability to call down drop pods at set intervals instead of having to gather nitra, making it so accuracy and ammo conservation is vital.
The ammo for the defensive turrets on the space rig is limited so the mission would be timed, and if you fail/run out of time the space rig would drop a kinetic energy projectile completely destroying the creature and losing the ability to gather sample, thus getting nothing out of the mission. But if you succeed you gain some sort of unique overclock or cosmetics. Or maybe a special beer ingredient.
warm juniper
would like the possibility to get more blanc matrixcores per week,
maybe, if you finnish an event (and dont have a core, or dont use a core) AND the mission is successful (so no one can just run through a mission, do only the event, and just abort the mission to farm blanc cores) you get a part of a blanc matrixcore, and then you can forge for x parts (maybe 3-5, or even 6 or 7) a new blanc matrixcore in the forge. (so in teams where some people used all cores already, this people have a better reason to play the event then a little bit xp)

Small 'buff' for the Beast Tamer perk:
while charming a glyphid, it is stunned or, at least, cannot attack. When it was instant there wasn't much of a problem, even if you pick the wrong glyphid on accident you still could avoid getting hit by nearby glyphids for taming one, but now you're almost guaranteed to be hit by the one you're trying to tame as well as surrounding bugs.

Give a buff to Bosco's Freezing Rockets. It take both rockets to freeze a naedocyte breeder, and even with both rockets, it can't freeze an oppresor. Imo, you play the Freezing variant for big mobs, and the normal ones for crowd control, and it's sad to see that Freezing rocket can't do its job

The end escape sequence of a mission should be more tense. What if, from the end of the cave, comes a hoard if alien roars.

cedar fiber
Change glyphid attacks to be short-lived projectiles instead of a sort of AOE in melee range around the bug (at least that's how I assume they make attacks.) The problem with the AOE hit scan attacks is that the glyphids are able to attack through thin walls and such, making it difficult to see where you're being attacked from. By making the attack a projectile, it would allow them still make an attack, but it would "harmlessly" plink off and begin breaking the surface they are attacking. This also allows them to dig to you and make themselves more well known, removing the ninja attacks they seemingly perform on the daily.

What about (purely cosmetical) footstep and general movement sounds that depend on the sort armor you are wearing? Heavy armored suits could sound alot clunkier and mechanical then the light suits. Perhaps have that being toggled so lower systems don't have to run all the extra audio.
Example: Gunner or Driller Mk4 and Mk5 suits sounds clunky and heavy, every footstep is like a pile of heavy metal slamming on the ground while scout and engineers Mk3 or lower suits rather sound more casual and like more cloth than metal is in motion.
What about another buff to the glyphid tamer perk? (saw the other ones but my idea differs from theese. Not saying mine is better though)
-You can charm the tiny swarmers too but instead of just charming one, you charm 3 or 5 at a time
-You can charm the 2 spitter variants too but then your cooldown is alot longer
-On max level, one time per round, you can charm a pretorian
-You can charm the small detonators, they act completely idle until you mark an enemy. Then they chase this enemy down and blow themselfes up next to it. Lightly decreased cooldown timer if you do that. So you can either "spam" detonators or just use a normal glyphid over a longer time.
Also, please rework the icon. I can see when the cooldown is active and when i can charm a bug but when the cooldown is ran out, yet you have a charmed glyphid, it looks like you are ready to charm a glyphid. In combat that can cause quite the confusion and disadvantage. Perhaps have it colored like Steves glow when you have a charmed glyphid on you.

In my opinion, Flying Nightmare needs a buff. The area of damage is really small and could use a boost. Also, now that is has been nerfed 3 times, the charge up speed debuff is not needed anymore it just cripples the gun instead of helping the balance.

Small QoL suggestion on Bosco's behavior. Either give Bosco to shoot precisely exploder's head (this is only for exploder) or treat exploder like he treats Ebonite (means he ignores them completely). Right now, player has to order Bosco to light up to prevent Bosco from triggering exploders which is not ideal/doable during swarm. Player can always order Bosco to shoot freezing rocket, but they are on rather longer timer and Bosco always takes position before shooting so rocket is not really a option against exploders.

I bet this has been said before, but perhaps make glyphid guards and slashers have different-pitches for their voice?

Platform gun shouldn't launch platform itself. Instead, it should give/launch pointer to where exactly crosshair is, then platform expands from that point. With current platform gun, platform can collide easily making it difficult/impossible to shoot at desired location under some circumstance. With this, platform gun acts similar to what we have now when making bridge or flat ground, and act better when shooting through tight space. It will requires player to aim better but overall it will become more intuitive.

When the driller presses reload on his drills, he slams them together. That much is known.
Problem is, the sparks generated by said drills are still attached to the player, so when you move your character around during the drill slam animation, the sparks somehow move around with the player.
It's a VERY small change, but it would make the animation look a lot better for other players if the sparks the drills made were simply particles, and weren't locked to the player's movements.

New Boss encounter idea: Thornpike the Mad. An experimental mech suit fabled to be powered by a Dwarf who had gone mad, a rare boss encounter.
Description: A fabled legend amongst miners, Douglas Thornpike was a dwarf powering an experimental mech suit, who had gone mad during an expedition and took out his whole team. He then went to the depths of Hoxxes, never to return. Legends say that Thornpike still opperates his mech to this very day, occasionally coming across other expeditions and whiping them out or chasing them off of Hoxxes. For what reason, nobody knows. Some say they don't even know if Thornpike is still the one opperating the mech.
Abilities: Thornpike's mech suit possesses various capabilities, such as a high power grapple hook, two miniguns, a grenade launcher, flamethrower, a pair of drills, a rocket launcher, a pair of mech legs that act both as hover boots and spiked boots which allows the mech to walk along walls and ceilings, much like the glyphids of Hoxxes. His rockets and grenades can be shot out of the air, but doing so will cause them explode prematurely, so be careful when you do so!
Encounter: Thornpike is a strong foe, and may require the entire team's combined power to take him down. To encounter Thornpike, you must steal from his cache, which has a chance of spawning in missions. Upon doing so, Thornpike will come out of hiding and stop you from taking his treasures from him. If Thornpike takes out your entire team, he will take back whatever was stolen from him. Defeating Thornpike will allow players to take various rewards from his stash. If Thornpike's mech does not blow up in a firey explosion, players will be able to see who really is on the inside of the mech... only to find out that nobody was piloting the mech(spooky!!!). Players will then get to assume control of the mech for a certain amount of time before it finally runs out of juice.

Remove/replace the mentions about "overclocking your gun" in the fire rate increase upgrades. It can be confusing to new players who have heard about overclocks, and don't yet know how they work properly.

Currently exploders are a minimal threat unless you happen to be stuck in a hole or you decide to listen to loud music while playing. This mainly comes from the fact that you can simply run through them and they kill themselves while leaving you untouched. Also in the video linked, it mentions they have a weaker bite. Instead of simply detonating themselves, giving them a small bite with the strength of a swarmer would make it so you can't just run through them and dispatch them all like that. You'd actually have a need to take them out in most situations and of course go for those headshots to disarm them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXIw6fre7fk side note: Also let them roar again.

Scout Primary:
Stake Launcher.
A big ass arbalest that launches metal stakes at enemies instead of puny bolts. Fires in an arc trajectory, stakes have a chance to stun and are powerful enough to oneshot an ordinary Grunt when fully upgraded.
However, the stakes are limited in number and you have to reload after each shot. Stakes get embedded in enemies like Driller axes and be recovered should you miss. All in all it can be a cool alpha damage focused weapon for your Dwarves with some extra nuance since it fires in arc instead of linear trajectory.
Also, here are some upgrade/OC ideas:
Electrified Stakes: electrifies targets.
Superheated Stakes: deal some damage as fire.
Embedded Detonators: stakes explode 1 sec after hitting a solid surface, enemies included. Missed stakes can no longer be recovered cos they explode.
Jagged Edge: weakpoint damage.
Overwhelming Force: more stun.
AR Overlay: toggle a virtual trajectory line (like with grenades) by holding fire (or other) button.
Big Game Hunter: extra damage to large enemies.

For those who are really desperate and out of nitra, maybe we could spend 100+ gold for a resupply that only has 1-2 supply-buttons? It's not really an issue but the 78 nitra taunting me after fighting 3 dreadnoughts really stank after trying to run to the droppod without ammo
I guess in-universe it could act as bribing management to send you some resupplies

These hasn't been suggested before from what I searched.
-
Bosco should stop taking position before any of action.
Bosco should just launch rocket at pointer as soon as he gets angle despite distance. Bosco should start firing at pointed enemy as soon as he gets angle. Bosco should start firing at creatures that grabbed player as soon as he gets angle despite distance.
Bosco should just keep attacking even if player is a far, this is really needed especially for Scout. Let's say this particular mission got an enemy table full of small creatures, Scout can't really do much against numbers so he has to run/grapple away most of the time, hoping Bosco will do damage for him. However, what will happen is Bosco not attacking any enemy and just trying to get closer to player. Even if player order Bosco to attack, he doesn't. He just does the same for pointed enemy. Following. These need to be changed. -
Bosco shouldn't get slow while shooting and lighting up cave. It is understandable Bosco gets slow when carrying objects, but it doesn't make any sense he gets slow while shooting and lighting up.
-
Bosco's fear effect by revive actually does more harm than good when player has an active perk called See You in Hell. See You in Hell's active cause an explosion with small radius when player is downed. However, Bosco's revive effect causes enemy to run off making it rather difficult to get maximum effect of perk. Either See You In Hell's radius needs to be bigger, or give an ability to time Bosco's revive.
-
An active perk called Dash isn't working against slowing effect by various enemy. Dash's description states that it ignores any slowdown effect, but in game, shock from shocker, web from web spitter, slowdown from slasher can nullify Dash especially when multiple slowdown effects are stacked.

Steeve shouldn't just ignore any of flying creatures. Grunt's melee is already an AoE. Let him melee.
-
Minehead in Point Extraction should be flat with ground level height. It shouldn't have stair/legs. Often time these stairs are either floating or are in weird position and causing lots of trouble. It's just better if minehead comes without these stairs and at same height as ground.
-
Any mission except DD/EDD shouldn't have fixed enemy table or swarm table. It's more fun if we get different enemy type for each swarm. It should be completely random, meaning every type of swarm is possible and game will decide every time you get swarm. Right now, game decides what enemy/swarm to get at beginning of mission, and it's random within that tables.
-
Blowthrough needs change. It sometimes works, but because character height is so different from enemy, player often looking down when shooting, causing blowthrough to not work completely (because bullet goes to ground at that angle) unless player is doing bunker or at choke point. Not only that, enemy's decision making is to be as spread as possible, also causing Blowthrough to be not effective.
-
Every enemy should get affected by every environmental hazard (lava, earthquake (slow), poison, sandstorm (slow/fog), freeze, blizzard (slow/fog/freeze) ). Some of environmental hazards do affect enemy, but most of them don't. It should be consistent. Just because they're biome variant, that shouldn't make them immune to slowing/fog/poison effect. Or, make them immune to everything, after all they live there.

one of the most bad mannered, and bad teamplay things in this game is someone calling for the drop pod before everyone is ready, especially if the team is not all together. i would suggest it would be great to see a mark next to the dwarf who pressed the button for the drop pod and and option to kick also. ppl who do that should be kicked full stop.

Bosco shouldn't prioritize bigger enemy over smaller one. Right now, If there's every grunts "around player", Bosco always attack guard grunt. If there's Praetorian, He always atack Praetorian first. For Oppressor and Bulk decision goes the same. Always prioritize bigger ones which is fine because bigger ones are usually more threatening. But the thing is, Bosco's firepower is really, really low and he almost always attack outer shell because he rotates himself around target for no reason, making it extremely weak against bigger target with shell. Not to mention as you go up in hazard level, smaller enemy actually becomes more dangerous than bigger ones. So yes, Bosco should prioritize smaller ones (swarmers) over bigger ones (bulk).

Having Molly physically climb into the drop pod might be a bit difficult and time consuming to animate and get working. Why not have her teleport into the pod? I’m imagining Molly doing her generic sitting animation once she reaches the pod and two pylons coming out of the sides of the pod, which zap her and she suddenly disappears. I think it would be a simple solution to this sort of issue, could work the same way with mini-mules too in a salvage op.

Couple Flying Nightmare remarks
-
I think Flying Nightmare being classified as Area of Effect mod doesn't fit anymore, since it reduces the effect radious and changes how the gun works. Special classification would suit it better.
-
Flying Nightmare really doesn't need the charge speed reduction anymore, it only makes the mod cumbersome to use.

I feel like spawn chances of cargo crates and lost packs are really low for how many things we can get from them now (gun meshes/paintjobs, pickaxe parts, beards, armor paintjobs, victory moves) especially since they're individual to each class when you do get them. I think making those chances higher when you do harder missions would be nice (be it harder hazard level and/or having warnings on a mission, or just higher chance on higher length/complexity)
rough trail
Checked for the idea with the search bar and I couldn't find anything similar so here I go:
New gamemode where it's a gold digging competition. You still have 4 dwarves to a game but here's the catch... You each work with two dwarves to a team against the other team in your party. Everyone still gets paid for the amount of gold they mine, but the team that manages to get the most gold gets extra experience for it and gets paid a little extra money from the money the losers made in the competition. Since this would be a new gamemode you'll have to join into it via a different terminal than the mission terminal (such as the deep dive in game) and you'll be able to host private ones etc. You'll also be able to have teams choose themselves or a random option which puts any combination of the 4 players together at random. Players wouldn't be able to damage each other, but they could still twart the others efforts in different ways like a driller taking out a platform the engineer put up for the scout and taking the gold for himself or a gunner using their shield to keep the opposing team away while they mine. Also, the whole gamemode has a time limit of 5 minutes (maybe adjustable time limit?) to find the most gold you can and after that the droppod comes back automatically. Those that don't make it of course lose no matter if they got the most gold or not. There would probably also be a seperate mule for each team- maybe one of the smaller mini-mule varieties that we see in salvage missions.
This gamemode could be a lot of fun with friends or a good way to find out who can be the better team combo (or who is better at their class than others) and would appeal to the more competitive players. I'm personally not a very competitive gamer myself, but I would still find it a fun gamemode experience with my friends.

Here's an idea I just posted over on the subreddit about the last section of salvage missions:
Instead of always having the same 2 "uplink / refuel" sections of repair, there should be a randomized selection of 2 objectives from a list that need to be completed before the launch pod can restart. They could be different from the normal "stay within the bubble" objectives, but still have a defensive goal that needs to be met. Here are some examples:
-
Computer Reboot: you must set up a system that reboots the computer systems of the drop pod, but if a glyphid gets to it, it will halt the system from repairing and you must kill it to start it up again. You don't have to stand near it, but enemies must be kept off of it at all costs.
-
Missing Engine Parts: Similar to kursite mini-events, there will be random enemies carrying around parts of the engine which must be returned to a missing panel from the drop pod from which the pieces had been removed.
-
Drop Pod Stabilization: The drop pod is tilted off-axis, so mission control sends in a machine that pushes the pod back to vertical, so that it may launch again. If an enemy reaches the machine, it will jam. The dwarves must take out the enemy and unjam the machine to continue the progression.
Of course other methods could be implemented, but these were some of my favorite ideas.
viscid pulsar
a multiplayer mode, kinda like Eve in the Moon's, but instead of a gold hunt its like the destiny multiplayer one (i forgot what it was called) where you collect points and deposit them in an area but player from the other team could come to your side and attack you, enemies could suck out your points, etc. Except in this version its a mix of dreadnaught, morkite mining, and egg collecting. each thing gives you a set amount of a fuel like substance and you have to fill up a drop pod. There could be a special type of glyphid that attacks the fuel tanks of the drop pod and sucks it out, the more fuel it gets the stronger it gets so you have to prioritize those. enemy players cant come over to your side (as dwarves stick together no matter what) but to even that out the things that generate this fuel are not shown on the map. To explain how this works since, like i said before, dwarves stick together, It could be a simulation by DRG to keep the dwarves skills fresh. There could be a separate panel for it and instead of hazard levels its just straight up level based difficulties, like no promotion, 1 promotion, 2 promotions, and three promotions. you can only play the difficulty of your highest ranked dwarf and two promotions lower. so If i have a gunner that has been promoted twice, he would go into the 2 promotions difficulty, but could also do levels 1 and 0 and the same would go for my engineer if he were promoted only once. to avoid tryhards or saltiness there shouldn't be a ranked or anything, merely the winners get slightly more gold and xp than the losers.
to sum it up, a 4v4 non-pvp simulated objective hunt to escape first with difficulties based on the promotion of your best dwarf

This may be a controversial take, but Hazard level shouldn't increase enemy health. at least for non Boss creatures. Reason for this is simple, increase in health highly restricts character and weapon builds. What's viable in lower hazard isn't viable at highest hazard level. Yes, we can still use underwhelming/non optimal builds in Hazard 5 mission solo or multiplayer, but that only makes us feel hindered in solo, and making others do an extra work in multiplayer. And these experience aren't particularly fun or rewarding. With this change, Hazard 5 will be easier so we need some other changes to compensate.
It would be a nice change for a game if we can get an option to bring only one weapon instead of two weapon for more ammo. For example, you can do missions with only bulldog but it has 3x ammo. This would change how we play the game.

(Semi-suggested before, but not really.)
Scout Secondary: Throwing Daggers.
Small futuristic kunai-like daggers that can be thrown at enemies at quick succession. They travel in an arc and can be picked up if they miss the intended target.
They are relatively small in number, have an inherent damage penalty to armor, but also an inherent bonus to hitting weakspots.
Naturally, the daggers don't need to "reload" but there is a small pause between each throw since the Scout needs to pull out a new dagger.
If you hold the fire button, Scout will pull out four daggers at once and throw them in a cone.
Also, here is an upgrade idea:
Embedded Detonators: all daggers on the map (whether stuck in enemies or in walls) explode if you press R.

reduce base line DPS by 40-50% (270-300)
reduce base ammo reserves by 40-50% (6-8 shots)
beef up t2 damage mod so that it increases weapon's DPS to 750 (current base+t2dmg) when taken
beef up t2 ammo mod so that it increases weapon's ammo pool to 20 (current base+t2ammo) when taken
remove t2 beam width mod (seriously, no one's gonna take it. It is unable to compete)
double the effect of t3 beam width mod
increase base deploy time from 0.2 to 0.3
add a new t4 mod: ~120% DPS, 150% beam speed
(maybe) add lesser damage mod to t3
reasoning n results
BC in its current state can have both enormous ammo pool for crowd clearing and decent single target damage. Applying suggested ammo/damage tweaks will make it possible for users to get one but not both.
t4 stun mod also does fucking wonders and needs something to compete with.

Balance pass on the passive perks. Most of the actives are good (Dash is the only one I never use, but that's because I keep triggering it by accident), but a lot of passives are lacking.
In particular:
- Elemental Insulation only helps against a tiny handful of enemies - mostly just Praetorians and Acid Spitters. Spitters don't even appear in every mission. If more enemies had elemental attacks, this would be a great perk.
- Second Wind takes long enough to kick in that it's useless in combat, and doesn't provide enough of a movement boost to make a big difference the rest of the time. I'd only ever use it on Low O2 missions.
- Strong Arm is really useful when there's no scout but a bit lacklustre the rest of the time. 20% boost to object throwing is almost entirely pointless outside of Point Extraction missions, and even in them it's not great.
- Unstoppable is, again, very situational. A lot of slowdown effects aren't even affected by it. If it worked on enemy inflicted slowdowns too, I might take it.
- Vampire is a tiny heal, completely outclassed by Sweet Tooth and Resupplier. It's only good in combination with Iron Will, and even then the combo is hard to pull off.

Long post. Sorry.
I've basically no use for Deep Dives anymore except for blank cores and cosmetic cores.
Seriously, fixed map gen is a design that has hurt in the long run if the only thing going for it is a situational challenge with the same depth in rewards as a drying puddle. If it's really endgame, where are the rewards? Overclocks feel more like upgrades and lead up to endgame, but what has essentially happened is while overclocks can be versatile, the base weapon is buffed to make these matter far less (there are exceptions). So they don't really feel like "endgame rewards."
I understand EDDs are meant to be hard, but this is called the endgame and it's empty as empty can be for a veteran; the opposite of endgame. You gain more by casually playing in normal missions. Hazard 5 binges being available in average play has removed any meaning toward EDDs being endgame because these are usually more variable and thus a more frequent taste of actual difficulty. Also, they have no barriers whatsoever in gear/true skill after a rather simple quest line you can get carried through. Otherwise people are known to avoid H5 if they aren't ready.
So my suggestions are:
-Make Deep Dives/EDDs have better rewards and incentivize it as "progression" content with plenty of neat bonuses like Machine Events guaranteed to pop up so that players can get rid of stacked up cores. Too much progression is attached to casual play/weekly content which downplays the meaning of having DD/EDD as "endgame content." Players need OCs to progress so attaching them to rank milestones in addition is fine.
-Either power down Haz 5 and transfer it to EDD or make it the true endgame and restrict entry more directly until players have finished Deep Dive content and collected some OCs. I prefer the latter.
-Need some form of content to handle excess minerals/ OCs (maybe RNG). Utility tools, flares and grenades have the most potential for this or new weapons.

It's too good. I don't even mine normally as my driller; I just EPC mine everything even at ground level because it's so much quicker. It obviates one of the purposes of the Scout, a class that is already of limited use due to their low damage, and it partially obviates the platform gun. Why throw a platform and have the Scout mine something when you can just EPC mine it in a quarter of the time?

I just got off a hazard 5 mission where I was low health and a praetorian managed to climb up behind me without any noise at all.

i don't know if this has been mentioned before but when you turn off your HUD it also makes you unable to see the map, and that makes it so playing without a HUD is harder when in reality it should be a separate option to playing with a HUD.

IMO making no-HUD gameplay a future "Playing Deep Rock Galactic with no HUD challenge" video seems really dumb when it should be an alternative not an extra challenge

Drilling through the map during the escape phase is too safe and too efficient
The escape pod phase is supposed to be this intense, timed, backtracking through the level towards the exit.
Unfortunately, the alternative to this fundamental part of every mission is to safely dig a straight tunnel all the way to the excape pod. The driller has enough fuel to do it. The narrow tunnel makes it extremely easy to shoot incoming bugs, like fish in a barrel. Engineers can actually plug the tunnel, blocking any incoming bugs. There is no challenge in drilling a hundred meters straight. It betrays the original intent of the escape phase; yet it's the most efficient approach.
Keep in mind thattunneling between rooms DURING the mission is a valid strategy. It actually takes some navigation skills and foresight to dig proper shortcuts. But when applied to the escape phase, it is once again a way to "cheese" the game, the same way bunkers could be used to cheese objectives.
Tunneling could be addressed by modifying the worldgen: Adding hazards in the map "walls"
-Add crevice "triggers) (as found in Ice Caverns / Magma Core biomes) inside the walls. Drilling into those triggers could cause a crevice or a cave-in to appear, disorienting and delaying the driller.
-Add swarmer spawns/tunnels (the purple holes) within the walls. Drilling through a spawner could throw a team in disarray in their own tunnel, since the driller would be busy... drilling
-Add explosive "bulbs" (the plants that explode when shot) inside the walls. Drilling into those bulbs makes them explode, so the driller would have to back off, or dig around it.
-Add some impassable material in the walls. Not too big to form a wall, but big enough to have to dig around it
All those suggestions are meant to slow down tunneling, but not make it impossible so it's not as efficient and not as easy as it currently is, but still a viable option during and outside of the escape phase.

I'm surprised that no one has ever suggested about grenade's radius. Every grenade should have much bigger radius especially Scout's and Gunner/Driller's HE grenades. Right now most of grenade have relatively small radius that they don't do much against creatures unless they're eating dead body or at choke point. Exception being incendiary and proximity/LURE and Impact Axe which either has extremely big radius or has unique feature to make up for their radius such as can detonate several times or can attract enemy or does massive damage against single target with guaranteed stun. And they're the only impactful grenades that doesn't require much preparation. So I think it's safe to just bump up other grenade's radius to make them more comparable.

Adding quicksand in the Sandblasted Corridors, Dwarves who get stuck in it will start getting swallowed by the ground they'll have to spam the jump key to get out, as soon as their head is under the sand they'll start taking damages (we could also add connexions between the different tunnels so when a dwarf fall at the bottom of the quicksand he'll fall in an other gallery)

New mission type/event: Dig Mania (title w.i.p.) some time sensitive loot is buried in the ground (special fossil(s)? volatile gem(s)?rare worm(s) that are slowly moving??) and you only get X time to find it. obviously without a driller this would be a lot harder, so balance around that may be necessary. You are somehow (at least somewhat) shielded from enemies for duration so you can focus more on the digging. Quest perimiter is visualized ingame (like around black box but own shape and size), the loot is in that zone. Location que's could be sound or light. Rock and stone, good luck on the launch today guys!

“Fourth Relic” skins should have their gold plates match the rest of the color scheme if you decide to use another paint job
For example, using “First Stripe” should turn the gold into a gun metal grey

heres a suggestion, how about dont make the colors shit for the new promotional levels for long time players.
Many people wanted the bittergem but instead, the final level (a disgusting red) is present. The Diamond rank feels like it should take the place of the legendary just because of how revolting and cheap the legendary colour feels....

Love the dark future armour sets. However would like to see 3 small changes.
1: Can the torch on engis armour actually be turned on please?
2: Gunner's suit has no torch on it at all
3: Scout has no torch either

A matching Dark Future paint job for weapons would be great. At the current time there doesn't seem to be a black/very dark weapon paint job to match the armour colour scheme. Using weapons with the existing paint jobs with the armour looks a little odd, in my opinion - there is missed potential here. I purchased both and was a bit disappointed with the Dark Future DLC as a result, in contrast to the MegaCorp DLC which I thought was excellent.
Allowing players to combine the weapon frameworks from the MegaCorp DLC with a dark themed weapon paint job potentially included in the Dark Future DLC could be a good incentive for players to purchase both rather than just the former.

ive looked at all of the MegaCorp frameworks and they look pretty good, the only framework id say is lacking quite alot with the change in the actual frame n model is the breach cutter, with this framework only two small pieces were added to the weapon and all the metal bolts n some metal pieces were removed, id appreciate it and i think others too if the frame would get a rework to look well, less lazy, dont get me wrong i appreciate the work you guys have done and absolutely love the game but its a bit disappointing to see such lazy work be done towards a paid dlc framework

Semi-Weekly Mission Suggestion - Miner's Mettle
Synopsis - Shareholders have shown concern that employees are starting to rely too heavily on their advanced gear and inadvertently shoving their heritage to one side, and to placate them management has asked their workforce to go through some voluntary missions - dangerous missions that leave the dwarves in question underequipped and intentionally handicapped to prove to the shareholders that they aren't leaf lovers.
Description - Haz 4.5 - 5 Difficulty, with some additional negative modifiers.
- Players enter the mission with a loadout restrictment - players must pick and choose a smaller option of gear to take with them on the mission within a certain point limit, having to choose to forego things like Grenades or weapons or tools.
- Resupply Pods are limited per mission type rather than by Nitra count, making the timing of each refuel more crucial and ammo management a necessity.
- Pickaxes are given a permanent Rocky Mountain buff due to the power of their ancestor's flowing through them (or some other spiritial shenanigans.)
- Rewards for undertaking this mission will be huge - and possibly reward players with Matrix Cores as another incentive, maybe with the requirement of having to complete both the primary and secondary objective.

It's a long one, but here's a mission concept; Distraction. Swarm defense, but with a sensible purpose behind it. Sorry I couldn't summarize it succinctly.

Seperate MegaCorp into Paintjob and Framework.
So that I could combine MegaCorp's Colours with mechanized or something.
Currently we can only apply Paintjobs to a MegaCorp weapon, but what about the look of something else, with the dark colours of MegaCorp?
Edit: Just fixed some grammar issues.

Make certain music tracks, like the end of mission music and the memorial hall spacerig track, cut in at various random points so that we get to hear the full length of the song throughout our gameplay.

Allow a player to walk around the entire little walkway on the outside of the drop pod when the doors are open, and get to the ramp if the drop pod is elevated from the floor. The doors prevent you from jumping onto the ramp from the side

Make molly when it gets into contact with the player to stop moving, or in a 1-2 meter radius of the player to stop moving. Sending it back to the drop pod at the end of the mission makes her ignore that. I'd be nice if Molly would stop pushing me off cliffs and edges.

add a "APPLY TO ALL" setting for pickaxe cosmetics (and other universal settings if there are, don't know any other out of the blue)
undone whale
Acidic caverns - Small pools / lakes of acid around. Falling into it will drain your shield and health very slowly. The whole point of the acid dealing damage very slowly is so you have a chance to get out and rescue teammates that fall into it and need revival. Shield can be very useful, it can have a 20-30% resistance to acid and once it runs out you will take more damage, it does make sense, in a way, to have some sort of protection when falling into acid and once it goes out you take more damage. Acid also glows in the dark. Gunner / Engineer will get a lot of value from this map, they can cross big pools of acid very easily . Would need to add a liquid system, perhaps... Unless the acid is static and make it so you can't dig UNDER the acid, only around the walls or above if you're a Driller, as for Scout... I don't need to explain... The general terrain of this map should be rather flat to generate pools / lakes of acid. Bugs are immune to the acid, only the small bugs will get killed if they come into contact with it since they haven't matured / developed a resistance. IMO the predominant enemies should be Cave Leechers (not to many... I hate them myself) - Spitball Infectors - and Mactera, they spit acid, it makes sense, Cave leechers can drop you into the acid, same with the flying grabbers... Perks like Elemental Insulation will get a ton of value from this biome. When it comes to resources, Jadiz and Umanite, or instead of Jadiz you can have Croppa.

Create role based permissions on discord for voice channels. The first person who joins the Pod voice channel is granted permission to kick people out within the channel. This would handle the issue when non-team players join and other abusers that join just to annoy people (e.g. Screaming).
It is possible with tapping into Discord APIs: Listen for voiceStateUpdate event, once triggered grant permissions (voiceChannel.overwritePermissions()) to kick people within the channel till the user leaves the channel (event fired again).

So mulling this over while playing with some friends:
Neurotoxin payload is kind of bad right now. Usable? Yes. Good? Not really. So we came up with two, potential, solutions.
1/ Remove area damage entirely (or keep it very low) and make each shot put out a little farty cloud on impact that poisons. This makes its poison actually reliable against small targets, but not that they instantly explode from area damage either.
2/ Enemies killed by neurotoxin rounds explode into a bigger farty cloud instead.
I just don't think it's cuyrrent poison really does any job that carpetbomber/splintering rounds does right now.
blissful spindle
The weapon color scheme that comes with the new DLC back is not visible unless the model is also selected we need to make sure color schemes and models are 100% independant of each other and any model specific color scheme is always visible and compatable with all models
Seems the problem also exists with the dark future color scheme only being available to the specific armor wich is strange since there is a megacorp color scheme for all armor

I'm really loving all of the new music tracks added to the game since the recent update! However, there's a minor thing I'd love to be added to the game to go with that:
- Add a feature in the options to pick and choose a playlist of what tracks you want and don't want to play during missions so if people only want a few or one select track for everything it would be possible. Options would include tracks involving the escape sequence, horde attacks, dreadnaught boss, and the ambient calm tracks when just going through a cave, and whatever else can work for this type of system. Payday 2 has a system somewhat like this where you can select what music plays during a level/playthrough.
I would really love if something like this was implemented, honestly I don't like the old horde tracks anymore as much as I used to and really prefer all of the new ones that sound epic as hell, that's why I'd like to turn off the old tracks or only allow one or two sometimes when I really want to listen to specific ones!
fresh hinge
With the ability to toggle on and off icons on your HUD, they should 'shift over'. For example: If I only have my grenades toggled to on, it should shift all the way to the right on-screen and reduce the HUD bars length as well. Currently it floats where it was originally on the bar. I suppose it could be argued that this was intentional, but it seems a bit off to me. P.S. Every time you jump and grab an edge, it shows your currently equipped weapon on the HUD.

Did not find anything on that so here goes.
Gilded Beards and Armor need to have the same color of gold.
Basically what i mean is, the golden Paintjob for Armors and Weapons look the same color of gold, but the Gilded Beards and other things have a lighter, more yellow color, could the two things just be the same, for example the darker one, like on Paintjobs.

Molly shouldn't move automatically at all during hordes, as soon as mission control announces a horde she should be unable to move UNLESS somebody calls for her
It is so unbelievably frustrating playing hazard 5 and having her move around constantly, blocking bullets and players so they get hit by things they shouldn't have
MAKE MOLLY IMMOBILE DURING WAVES UNLESS SOMEBODY CALLS FOR HER.

In the loading screen, when the drop pod makes contract with the surface, a small flash of light from the impact would look cool. Just a small change, but one that adds visual impact to how fast you collide into the surface.

Suggestion: Give power melee attack at level 1. I reset my progress last night for launch and not having the melee attack just feels bad. It makes it harder on new players when they get an enemy up in their grill. I feel like it'd be a better experience for new players if they got a basic power attack off the bat, and then improved it as they leveled.

More short beards, sideburns and moustaches.
For starters, sideburns and beard in the same style as Lowrider moustache, would be neat.
For those of us who want to look sharp and masculine without having to strip armor pieces off.

Okay, i speak of personal experience here. Lost backpacks give me no loot anymore while i propably haven't even got half of the cargo crates loot. As far as i know the backpacks drop player skins and pickaxe parts (which i completely already seem to own already as far as they can drop it) while cargo crates drop poses, weapon skins and some other cosmetics. A small but balancing change could be to move the drop of weapon skins towards the lost backpacks so harvesting both is rewarding nonetheless. Maybe having some extra XP or minerals from them after you got all possible loot would still motivate you to go after them, as i am currently not even bothered by helmets or lost backpacks at all as they do not reward me in any way anymore
With all theese amazing new pickaxe parts and the many combination options, a way to have it shown on your dwarf would be neat. Just have it hanging by your side so others can see it would do well. Better then to show your pickaxe and creativity in creating one just a few seconds by pressing V or swinging it in a mission.
peak aurora
What about new perks that are alot stronger but also take up 2 or even 3 passive perk slots?
Here are some ideas
Passive health regeneration (2 slots)
Fast passive health regeneration (3slots)
More sprinting speed and jump height (2 slots)
Night vision so you do not need flares (3 slots)
A constant mining bonus on all minerals, which can even be increased with beers such as Dark Morkite or Pots'o gold (3 slots)
Auto revival after a very long time, such as 10 minutes (3 slots) would not remove iron will because laying there for so long is not making it up to iron will
Holding right mouse button for constant but reduced pickaxe damage (a bit like a chainsaw) for 2 slots
The randomness on picking loot from a crate, backpack or core infusor is more then thrilling and keeps up the motivation. What about a 1 in a 1000 chance for a menu popping up where you can freely choose whatever you want? It would increase peoples desire to find crates, backpacks and to finish events and it would be rewarding for players that chase loot alot more frequent.
Of course this would not inflict any accessoires you get from the DLC's.

Overclock for the minigun: the gun can no longer cool down, but you can press r to release a jet of fire in a circle around you and cool down the gun a bit as well. Depending on if the weapon is balanced or unstable, it could also make the heat buildup faster, and it could not allow you to fire the minigun while releasing heat

there's been a lot of suggestions of "sit command" for molly, or make her stop moving at all when she is close to players. i have another one: make molly instantly stop when you call for her and you're already close (like distance less than 2m). Having her move around in circles when you're just trying to deposit can be very annoying, and that way you don't have to make separate input or mess with pathfinding logic.

Maybe it could be a long term event or something that shows the community mining enough resources to complete it.

unstable OC for nade launcher, shoots spray of small clusters.
drifting forge
Searched for this and could not find one like it.
I have had this idea for a while now.
When you are in the Space Rig, mission control tells you of a Space Rig not far from your location that has been hit with an asteroid.
You then have the choice of going there or not, if you oblige, you get in the drop pod and make your way to the other Space Rig.
By default the difficulty is set to hazard 4, and low oxygen.
When you dock into the space rig, you will have to navigate through the mangled halls and machinery, eventually making it to the impact site. From there you have to locate the gravity manipulator and switch it off, you and your fellow miners (or Bosco) will then have to shoot the asteroid a bunch to dislodge it from the space rig.
There is a catch though, the astroid is infested with Glyphids, so you will have to fight your way through the Space Rig until you switch the gravity off.
After all of that you will have to notify mission control, and set the drop pod to your Space Rig.

I have read through this extensively and haven't found any suggestions like this, although I might have searched the wrong term, but would it at all be possible to cross framework-specific paint jobs and existing frameworks?

In the fungus bog only : Spore released by fungi on which the dwarf must walk to release them it "controls" the dwarf (reverse movement keys, drunk vision, change of enemies colors) the effect lasts between 7 and 10 seconds and the released spore only affects the dwarf who stepped on the famous mushroom (an icon can be added as a spiral to show the player that he is affected by an effect: confusion)

I had an idea for a monster called a "naedocyte king-glider." a sort of naedocyte boss type thing, like an oppressor or a bulk detonator, but it doesn't actually attack you directly. it just drains your shields to zero or near zero, within a fairly large radius. and it comes in and out of walls like the centipede monsters from Devil Daggers (it's easy to find a video of those). and it looks like this. (this is a sketch i drew, not something i lifted from somewhere else). theoretically it would spawn alongside a bunch of smaller enemies, and turn the mission into a 'no shield' mission until it was killed.

Here are some of my suggestions:
Missions:
"Armageddon gone wrong" - Miners are tasked with defusing a set of bombs in the middle of an asteroid before they go off (or mine out a set of minerals before a timer runs out)
"Out of fuel" - Miners start outside in space, and have to drill down to get back to the drop pod, fill it up with Nitra and blast off
"Gang up on me" - 3 dreadnoughts (or 3 other large monsters) all attack at the same time
"Reach the top" - Drop pod malfunctions and miners must try to get to the surface
Other suggestions:
- Mega creatures with multiple parts to destroy in different ways that require teamwork like:
Must be hit in 2 places at once
Lure them into a hole
Driller must use flamethrower, scout can zip to the top of it and drop stuff in it's blowhole or something (obviously depends on what characters have joined) - Creature that fires a spitball that makes the player think his friends are monsters (makes one of the players see the others as monsters)
- Have some advantage to achieving further promotions
like get another active slot when reaching silver,
another passive slot when reaching gold,
and maybe a special weapon when reaching platinum and having 10 million gold or something? - Have some beers keep special effects when going in to missions like:
Reduced fall damage at cost of speed
Increased accuracy at cost of..
Increased pickaxe damage at cost of..
Faster speed at cost of..
barren cargo
Very simple suggestion.
Restocking ammo always gives 50% max ammo, and that is shared across all weapons and items BUT if one gun is totally full, shouldnt it completely restock the empty gun?
surreal condor
Currently, the mission is completed when at least 1 dwarf makes it into the drop pod, and then the pod will leave any downed dwarves behind. The only problem with this automatic launch is that sometimes people get left behind by accident, as it isn't uncommon for friendly fire or some other mishap to down a player near the pod or even right in front of the drop pod doors. My solution is to add a 5 second countdown, similar to the one used while boarding the pod from the rig, that will only count down if one or more players are down and all non-downed players are in the pod. This is to allow players in the pod the choice to leave the pod and rescue someone who unexpectedly goes down while trying to get in. This countdown would of course be ignored if all players are in the pod. The countdown prompt could read something like: "Leave A Dwarf Behind?"

So with the Removal of Flare Upgrades I felt as though something more could've been done, so here's a quick pitch.
Low-Intensity Flares, Similarly to the Grenade change in Update 24, there will now be 2 Flare Variants.
Low-Intensity Flares will have a fast Recharge, around 6 Seconds Maybe? But will produce much less light.
High-Intensity Flares will Recharge much slower, but produce a lot more light.
Honestly you could do a lot more with this, maybe Heat Makers? Creating pockets of Heat to throw around in the Glacial Strata, obviously only lasting Flare Duration.
Shield Buff even?
So to make this a Short read, I am suggesting to make Flares a Secondary Grenade, but one built to aid Teammates instead of Harm Bugs. (Oh and Maybe switch it's place with the Pickaxe in the Equipment Terminal? That'd please my OCD.)

Introducing DRG Titles Overhaul
- Low priority
Currently in DRG, players get a Rank Title that is based purely on the BLUE level, once a title is remplaced it is lost forever. Players have no control over titles and all players will get the exact same ones over their leveling until they reach BLUE level 76 which unlock the last title "Lord of the Deep".
My idea is to make the titles a full feature of Deep Rock Galactic. I was inspired by Monster Hunter World's system.
- Titles Unlock
The goal is to have something else to work toward in DRG that require less man power than 3D assets but still need some programming to establish the structure as well as some UI planning. A title will be made of 1 to 3 keywords that player unlocked.
A. How to unlock
Titles will unlock with basic challenges like "kill X grunts" "finish X lava biome" "first promotion with X class" as well as advance challenges for the most experienced players. So it will work like milestones but reward titles instead of perk points.
B. Title creation
https://i.imgur.com/mZDch27.png
To change or add a keyword to his title, the player will have to select one of the three exisiting keyword and it will open the title list. The keyword list contain all unlock and lock keyword. Lock keyword are marked with a lock icon and are grey out but still visible. Category can be selected to limit the size of the list if the player chose to. A simple click on an unlock keyword will select it and replace the currently selected title's keyword.
- Title Visibility
A. HUB
https://imgur.com/a/86vqyEO
The title will be visible under each player's room.
B. Mission
During missions the title will NOT be visible in order to keep the in-game UI untouched and clear.
C. Victory/Defeat screen
https://imgur.com/a/mEDroTC
The titles will be visible at the END screen of a mission, under each player's name.

We have Weekly assignments, how about monthly and a daily? Monthly can be a long quest line for rewards say 8 to 10 missions long. Dailies could be quick and about 2 missions long. More rewards. A in game calendar with daily rewards would be pretty cool too with a special cosmetic item if you log on daily? Just thoughts that would keep me and the others mining.

@near glacier That actually gives me an idea for the fuel cells to make it different and more engaging. Should total change it completely, Rather then repairing it, starting that part of the event should require you to connect a pipe from it too the drop pod. Once started the fuel let's off a gas that attracts the aliens, they seek to destroy it and most protect it during ____ time.

||spitballers on roofs.||
Just like current spitballers, they would make being prepared more important and punish people that get in sticky situations in the wrong places. The enemy itself also wouldn't look any wrong when being on the roof. They would also synergize well with engi because of roofs.
probably shouldn't be allowed to spawn in tall roofs, though, due to their armor.

For special beers, I think it should be all beers available all the time. But the logic would be "oh, you're doing a morkite mission and you want dark morkite? That's gonna cost extra. You wanna buy redrock instead? Ok, but it overrides dark morkite."

While I applaud our new slew of buff beers and understand that the new Ingredient based system is to coerce players to spend more time to explore and gather resources, i strongly believe that the one drink special is a little bit detrimental, since i feel we end up buying buffs that while welcome, are not entirely feasible or optimal for the mission.
And to address the Molly in the room as my strong suite, ordering dark morkite on any mission other than Expedition is of course, silly.
My suggestion:
Let us order up to three different random 'buff beers' to give us a little more control, and put Pots 'o' gold and Morkite as 'Special offers' that come and go, with DM being selectable only on morkite missions and making POG as a random occurence.
Also, could we possibly have the ability to order our own beer or to foot one for the entire team.
echo trail
Mission Control Base - Anyone think it would be cool that instead of falling down with your drop pod... you land on the surface of the planet/asteroid to an abandoned "NITRA" mining facility that has been overrun. (NITRA is important here, due to the constant swarm mentioned below)
You spend the first part fighting your way through the facility - below the surface is some form of a big boss and the primary objective is to destroy the boss and stop the swarm and take back the facility...
You need to mine certain materials to get reactors/power back online - we don't get the regular intervals of "Here comes the swarm", it is just literal constant swarm, the only thing that would be at regular intervals would be mini boss spawns...
You have 15-20 mins to get all systems online and send a signal to your drop pod for extraction... if you fail to get the systems online, the mission is over 😅

Given there's Union missions, I'd say a minor alteration to spawn rates (or marking a mission ahead of time so we have an idea if our targets will be present) so we can try and bump up our numbers would be nice.

It'd add some more lore things to the game.

At the risk of sounding like this is setting a high bar, I think the lethal difficulty unlock assignment should be locked to Hazard 5 when doing it.
Currently they are locked at Hazard 4 and I understand some of the reasoning for this, but wouldn't doing a few Hazard 5 missions technically be better preparation for Hazard 5?
empty wadi
To append to the above suggestion, I would like to comment that since haz 4 has such a wide spread of variance in difficulty, i.e. I have played haz 5 missions that were much easier than the worst haz 4 missions I had, perhaps the prerequisite to the quest could be kept at haz 4, but require maybe 5 or 10 haz 4 missions total to have been played?

For example, if you find the "Top Dog" suit skin for Engineer, you can also apply that to the Engineer's weaponry. Or if you bought the Dark Future pack, the camo colour for each miner can be applied to that miner's guns
I'm saying this mainly because I love my gear sets to match and I'm sure there's likeminded miners out there.

Assignment to unlock Cave Complexity and Mission Length level 4, which would fit in with the addition of the lethal Hazard Level. I sometimes find the long missions (I.e 400 Morkite or 10 arauarq) never last as long as I’d like. These could be longer and more like an expedition, great for obtaining gold and minerals. Some of the complexity 3 caves are big and cavernous but I bet Ghost Ship could up the ante with level 4.

There are numerous empty voids within the map, i.e. deep ravines, undetectable by the scanner (to discourage drilling without caution).
Floating islands can occur.
Sections of the landscape visibly different from the rest of the terrain may disappear and reappear elsewhere (warping), depleting the shield of anyone in the exit and re-entry locations.
Abundant Mineral: Jadiz
Scarce Mineral: Etherite (new mineral), used in new overclocks or something?
Warpnaught
In the above area, Dreadnaught encounters would be replaced with Warpnaughts. After having charged at a player, the Warpnaught would not pause to turn, but instead warp to the furthest away player/player doing most damage or warp them to it (in either instance, being near a warp depletes shields). Instead of armour to target, there are 4 warpstones that need to be destroyed in order to start damaging this enemy. These warpstones would reappear after x amount of time, potentially in different locations.
Drinking the Wormhole Special prior to these missions would prevent warps from depleting shields

I have an idea for 1 of the planetary regions. It could be a Glifid graveyard like elephant graveyard were Glifids go to die (if there not killed by us space Dwarves) its partially made out of body’s like the large stone skeleton fossils in other biomes.
A new resource could be ivory which is only found here in the biome ivory is found on fresher looking glifiid corpses like the dreadnaughts fangs. The enemies I haven’t thought of a special type so maybe just the normal enemies but they are more resistant to fear because they live in a graveyard.

I just came up with a new enemy type for my idea it could be called The Gatekeeper. It looks like a Corona shell back dut it doesn’t have a shell and it cannot roll. It covers it’s self in old bones, it has no glowing part but some bones are broken and take less damage to brake, underneath it is very squishy to damage. It’s attack is a big claw that is very very dangerous but its slow with all the bones on it.
There could be a Young version with no bones on it that’s very very dangerous.

Increase the range of the active part of Shield Link by 1 meter from 4 to 5 meters. If someone is running away from glyphids and you're chasing them down to give it to them 4 meters just doesn't cut it, you can typically get within 5 meters easily, but closing that last bit of gap is harder. If you want to increase the passive from 4 to 5 meters too so they stay the same that's fine too.

Rough draft ramble on Hawkeye turret(s):
Hawkeye system's main issue is not, quite, the bonus on it's own right. Longer range is nice and 360 degree fire-arc is nice. It's niche is just very specific. However, this bonus has to be considered in context of its other option: 100% damage at the cost of cone of fire.
Now Defenders cone of fire is a downside. Is it able to be worked around? Yes. Works well in tunnels and places you can entrench in and defend. But having a placable "it'll shot anything" turret is strong in large open areas. So any rework of Hawkeye can't just give it equal power to Defender without an equal downside or be less powerful without a downside.
So this runs into the actual change:
Turret gains an improved weakpoint bonus and targets weakpoints more reliably or (always?) targets weakpoints of units pointed out via ctrl.
The latter keeps the "target this" concept of hawkeye. To be "hawk-eyed" means keen of sight. Of which being good at seeing/hitting weakpoints could be a form of that.
This could be used to make turrets reliably target and eliminate weakpoint sensitive enemies. Wouldn't hurt preatorians or opressors much, but it would hunt mactera, grabbers, bombers and even dreadnoughts fairly effectively. Also this would not increase the range of the turret, but would fire at any distance to something targeted. Longer range, really, just equates to more ammo wasted on targets it won't kill effectively.
So a rough concept would be:
Hawkeye System:
+X% (40%?) Weakpoint Damage
+Manual Targetting (prioritizes weakpoints)
If you respond to this please tag me so I see it.

bridging the gap between unlocking your 2nd guns and your first promote probably needs to be a little quicker just for sake of gameflow, up until that point i never felt like it was that slow. or maybe it was just the lack of unlocking something significant within those levels that made it feel sluggish.
syncing your gun assignments to unlock them could probably be synced with the party leader or something of that nature too (progress towards unlocking for whatever mission the leader has) to help gameflow as well. None of my team really minded that they were separated but the stars aligned for us pretty well and we ended up having the same assignments anyway, so I could see that causing confusion for some people and the debate could be made for either case of having them separated or synced just to prolong content some, but being a team and having them universal seems like it would incentivize people to stay together and help each other more to me.

I just love the memes where you can spam "WE'RE RICH!" on the giant gold nuggets all the time and this game needs more of that.

Swarming Nests!
For the more difficult modes or as expedition modifier, periodically through out the expedition random swarming nests are being formed and are growing in size, they would be marked on the map and you're given a notification from corporate that the bugs are creating rally points to send more bugs your way and that if not dealt with; swarms will be larger, have more special bugs and/or appear at a faster rate.
Probably best for more "open/easily traversable/exploration encuraged" maps.

Hi folks, thanks for letting me add my things here - I did a search and didn't see the specifics. Closed Captions are in the game but I was looking to see if we can adjust those as well with size and colors. I'm pretty damn old and squinting non stop before text captions disappear to the next one and feel like I missed a lot. I can't just hear at times cause i'm falling apart. I like the chat font size - no problem there and helps for sure! Thanks for letting me chime in.

The Miner's Armsupport!
Corporate's scientist has been hard at work to let you replace your secondary weapon for, little bit more ammo on your primary and supportive robot exoskeleton over your dominant mining-arm that gives you the power to one-hit any material and a stronger melee.
For the mining expedition folks that wanna be fast and ammo/time efficient. Probably not worth on hunt/scavage missions. Primary ammo increase should probably be balanced on a per class/primary weapon basis. Doesn't hit faster, so not to replace drillers ability to make long tunnels fast.

The pickaxe and flare bunch!
New stylish flares can now be found, because we think you should look cool, instead of throwing a boring flare around! to hell with it, make it a shimmering banana!
Your pickaxe head now has a stat to it, instead of just looking cool, It'll feel cool too! stuff like hammerhead pickaxe head, will do more damage.

One person from the group can stay back and man the Bosco terminal and operate Bosco remotely like a drone. Bosco will have a health bar and once the health bar is depleted the player will automaticly join the team the same way late joins do. Bosco will have the same modes he currenly posses; light, weapons, carrying and mining. Food for thought.

Make it so when you space yourself by standing under the drop pod at the start of the mission, you get a special animation

Make Bosco stop igniting the neurotoxin grenade. His bullets explode the whole cloud for some reason.

Split the Gloomstalker MK2 and MK3 into 2 pieces each (helmet, mask) so people can get the extra little bits while still showing off their beards, or use just the gasmask without the helmet part. Could probably put the lower part into the Beard slot.

Deep Dives or Elite Deep Dives should very very rarely drop you in an area absolutely brimming with nitra, gold, and assorted minerals. Explanation being that the drop pod accidentally veered off course to the next zone and landed in a small pocket rich in valuable minerals, and management would probably fire you for passing up that opportunity. The idea came from earlier Monster Hunter entries, where on High/Master Rank quests, your Wingdrake would have a chance of missing your drop point, and very rarely would drop you into a normally inaccessible area filled with materials as a sort of bonus level.
rare ravine
Quality of life suggestion - When carrying a large item, make it to where when you drop it, you pull out your primary weapon instead of what you were carrying last. As a gunny boi ive wasted many ziplines when I have to drop a large item and quickly engage a glyph or a swarm and instead of my primary weapon I end up trying to impale them with a zipline (it doesnt hurt them)
subtle pebble
Me and my mates thought it would be fun if while using the Beast Master perk, a trained pet could follow you onto the drop pod when completing a mission and come back to the space rig. Could be turned into a tomagachi style mini game and another place for fun cosmetic upgrades.

Thanks very much for adding a Dark Futures weapon paintjob - the armour with weapons now looks great! Would it be possible to add a Dark Futures pickaxe paint job to the pack as well? The Supporter Pack and the Megacorp Pack have one, but the Dark Futures Pack does not.

Give us more fossils ! Or maybe change their color ? Pink would be great

Make Driller's drills match the paintjob of your armor. When wearing MegaCorp, the drills look rather bad when they're bright yellow in contrast to the white and black. I think this issue can be fixed by making the drill's paintjob match the armor's.

Hi, i'm New here. As i play recently with my Friends i noticed ther are no way to mark some places permanently. Is ther an idea to add something like a spray to mark walls with an (X) for fast recognition or something like that?

[Suggestion: Remove Hazard 1 Timers]
Currently Hazard 2 is a comfortable, easy default for inexperienced players. Hazard 3 is a bread and butter difficulty later on, Hazard 4 eventually supplants it, and Hazard 5 is for the skilled players who crave brutality and have mastered the movement and strategies of the game.
Hazard 1 already has decreased spawns that move nice and slowly and do not take much ammo to kill. My request is with regards to this though: I'd like to propose removing the end-mission timer from Hazard 1 difficulty, or making it more generous.
Some older loved ones of mine have expressed interest in the game, and just are not coordinated enough to always escape some of the more complex caves in just five minutes. I mean, any intricate verticality at all can make it difficult for even more skilled players to get every class out of a mission in the time limit.
Removing the timers on Hazard 1 would enable this lowest skill-tier of players to use their tools (map, MULE beacons, traversal equipment) to escape at their own pace, and not risk jeopardizing the loot they have spent the previous hour (or more sometimes) collecting. It would be a big and relatively easy-to-implement accessibility feature, and one I would personally greatly appreciate for my elderly parent-gamers. It opens the game up to them, and I really want that for them.
Thank you so much for your time and effort; Rock and Stone!

Change the music on the jukebox
The music chosen for the jukebox is great fun, but it has a major flaw. It's one big copyright infringement for streamers. All my youtube videos/Streams are currently demonetized because of the jukebox. I could mute it, but the jukebox has a great vibe and is a fun addition to videos and streams 🙂
The internet is full of great artists just waiting to produce game music etc.

There needs to be a default victory pose that shows off the player's customized pickaxe so that we players have more incentive to grind for pickaxe parts.

GADGET OVERCLOCKS!
Scout-flare gun:
-The North Star:
Double light radius, -3 total flares and the magazine only holds one flare/reload ..
Driller-drill arms:
-Cooling system:
The drill arms no longer overheats, but you have let's say 10 less total fuel.
Gunner-shield:
-Last resort:
You slowly heal or get some sort of buff inside the bubble but things like the mosquito thing can grab you out of it or the rolling thing knock you out of it, but still untouchable for everything else.

QoL Mini Suggestion - List full build numbers in the patch notes
What I mean by this is can we get the full build version of game listed in the #patch-notes-steam when updates or hotfixes are released? The only recent one listed is U30 Hotfix 1 which has build 40190 listed (thanks Amimoller). The game only lists the full version number, at the time of posting it's 1.30.40345.0 which I know is 1.0 Launch Hotfix 2 because it released today. Otherwise I wouldn't know if I was running hotfix 1 or hotfix 2. It'd make community troubleshooting a lot easier if we know exactly which version players are on especially when xbox, windows store, and steam all share #bug-discussion.

So, i've split my comment in half, here's my suggestions to address the experience described in the post I'll be throwing in #suggestion-discussion (https://discordapp.com/channels/257785731072786435/496297412520837120/712804692341817427) I think the explanation of the end-of-match experience would maybe be more helpful since you all at Ghost Ship Games can probably tackle this way better than what my suggestions are, but I'm going to do it this way to better fit the discord channels
- Move the rewards screen to the space station and put it in the space station physically, display the stats in-world on large displays in the space station, immediately allow players to control their dwarf once their animation finishes so they can immediately do their between-match rituals or hang out and check out the stats. I think this would go a long way in helping alleviate that hard-stop on the gameplay experience.

A new weapon that can be used as a replacement for the pickaxe, a powerfist. A mechanical glove that takes 1 more hit to remove terrain but deals alot more damage to bugs and has a faster recharge on the slam. Would also open a completely new costumisation option on the pickaxe table. Forearm plating, hand plating, finger plating and some extras such as tubes, batteries, spikes or whatever else you want to attach to it on a cosmetical spectrum.

Turret Arc Needs A Rework
Currently its hard to use for a number of reasons-and absolutely isn't worth an overclock spot. Its major upside is the ability to "fence off" a whole opening, without really thinking about it. However, even this benefit is limited by the fact that you need to re-proc it every 10ish seconds with -25% max ammo.
In addition, it turns the idea of turrets on their heads, instead of setting up a defense centrally and supporting your team with chip damage-a very easy thing to set up with your team defending you. Instead you are encouraged to overextend to set up backwards facing sentries to defend an choke point-while this does change your playstyle, its difficult and not very reward to pull off. Mostly because if you don't go far enough-your team will just shoot over it and it wont do anything, but its much easier to set up. If you go too far, your friends won't be there to help if you cant set it up in time.
One of the biggest drawbacks is the fact you need to have two sentries 10 meters apart to get the most out of this oc, requiring 2 lines of sight with a weapon with poor accuracy. The further away the turrets are-the harder its going to be to link them up again and again-once more rewarding you for keeping the fence at a close distance. You also must babysit your guns to keep the fence going. One node turned on does next to nothing for you.
So here's my proposal: Increase the time the Arc lasts.
You are relying on the Arc to pick up the slack of your gun, and since its already hard to set this up, rewarding you with a much longer lasting area would save ammo, it would reward you to set them up more aggressively, and would solidify it as a defensive tool-rather than "the worse version of emp"

Beards can alter armors chest plating. What about a small box you can activate to remove the upper armor plating even on short beards, for thoose who like the looks?
austere spruce
Replace both Stubby unstable OCs with different ones that actually effect the gun and are not a gimmick for the turret. Here is why the current 2 are not so great:
- Turrets are the least interesting part of engis kit, tying an OC to them while making the gun itself awful is no fun
-The stubby becomes borderline unusable as a normal gun with either of the unstable OCs on. This would be fine if engi had a backup weapon but his secondary is always a heavy weapon so it leaves him fairly defenceless as he can’t use the pgl like the scout would the zhuks
-the actual effect on the turret is so small and really not very fun
tall kelp
Duplex-fire trigger for the boomstick's double barrel oc - there would be two options of firing. One would be pressing once to fire both shots at once, and the other would be hold to fire one and fire the other once you release the trigger.
For balancing, maybe the +1 damage bonus with the oc can be removed.

Bleeding out modificator. If dwarfes are not revived in a certain amount of time, they cannot be revived at all and end up getting kicked. Sounds harsh but think of it. If your teammate dies, you have to continue without them. It values teamwork and helping each other

What about some ancient dwarf like inspired cosmetics, skins and pickaxe parts?
Dwarfens spirit in the caves. Only once you see the spirit of a dwarf per set waypoint by the game. They lead you towards the next spirits location. If you manage to see all spirits and follow them, the last one shows you where to dig to find a treasure. They only appear for a short amount of time so you have to be sharp, marking them is not working though as the laser goes through them . Like a harder version of a helmet.

Can we get an enhanced visual effect that shows which grunt is tamed with beast master? Say, a blue colored energy tether, similar to that of the purple buffing mobs purple tether?
grim seal
idk if I really have a say in anything but I think a little bit of a selection of types of the guns each character has would be cool like for example a gunner could have a higher fire rate but less dmg mini gun or less fire and more damage mini gun like that kinda thing and they have different skins and stuff idk
I just think that would make each person have a bit more of diversity
languid vine
Sorted Overclocks in the forge
Simply have all Overclocks for a particular class grouped together when looking in the forge menu, perhaps even grouping OCs for each specific gun together. This would make it easier to see what you have available to make without having to look through the entire list

Rework the double exp modifier.
It's dumb and gives people grinding for levels absolutely no reason to play anything else. It's a flat 2xexp boost with no extra difficulty whatsoever.
