Turret priority list for Engineer, allowing it to
A: Ignore certain bugs (So they don't shoot hopelessly into oppressors or immune dreadnoughts)
B: Prioritize certain targets type (Huge like a bulk, big like dreadnoughts and praetorians , medium like grunts and and whatever else is classified as medium by the vampire perk, small like swarmers, naedocytes, etc)

Ok so I had mentioned this on twitch and see how it would fare. Suggestion: combine dash and hover boots BUT use around a 1.5 min cd as that's about the average of both cds off the top of my head, so in essence, dash would activate and hover would go off at the very end. Would alleviate the skill gap of those that can combine the 2 skills perfectly and those who are relatively new to the game since majority of the maps have ledges that are just to high to reach and you get swarmed on low to mid difficulties. Sorry for the long post, ty

If you press C when looking directly at the mule after it's been called by someone else, it will stop for just long enough for you to deposit before resuming its course. The destination marker will change color to indicate this is happening.
Alternatively, this could instead be triggered by holding E on the mule.

Here's a suggestion: Make the Car-pool achievement (four dwarves have to kill 15 enemies whilst riding a Silicate Harvester) less brutal and mind-numbing to complete.

Some example suggestions of how it could be made easier:

When all four dwarves are ontop of a Silicate, the Silicate moves way slower; this makes it easier to stand on it and lower chances of it climbing walls. Also it makes sense for a hovering creature to move slower when it's holding the combined weight of four heavily armed dwarves on its back.
Lowering the amount of bugs needed to kill from 15 to a much lower number like 5 or something, this would still make the achievement pretty rare (considering barely any of the playerbase even know about the achievement to begin with) but not dark souls level hard.
Making the Silicate's standing area slightly wider for all dwarves to fit on.

Add the passive naedocyte floaters from Dense Biozone to Glacial Strata as well. They'll fit in with the colour scheme, break up the pale blue monotony a little, and it makes sense for them to be in both biomes that have shockers.

If i player activates a song in the jukebox, that song gets +1%, if the same player aborts it, the song gets -2%. The more % a song has, the more likely the jukebox will play it. So players favourite songs will be played more commonly and songs that the player dislikes are less likely to be played. Saves gold, time and nerves if you want to hear your favourite gems in the jukebox.

Suggestion: Occasional secret updates.
My one biggest joy about first playing DRG was feeling like i knew everything and then suddenly there'd be something terrifying and new "Oh hey this looks like the MULE! But we're not on a repair mission?... OH GOD"! These days with gaming everything is announced and everything is cataloged on a wiki. Which is good, but kills the surprise. Half the fun of DRG is going into caves and never knowing what might pop up. Would love to see new enemies added secretly, some times. Not all of the time, but sometimes. Maybe if we get a new Dreadnaught boss it could be unnanounced. "Oh boy another dreadnaught cocoon... which of the three could it b- WHAT THE STONE???"

Many of my ideas are merely just aesthetic things, such as there being different models for aquarq, bittergem, and jadiz rather than just colours. Possibly new models or just retextures to make the refuel and uplinks in salvage to be less flat colour and look more gritty like lots of the newer tech.

A new spitballer model would be nice, to have it look more in-line with the blobs they leave behind.

And cosmetics that are more detailed versions of the old temp models for weapons and some of the alpha art, i feel like more detailed versions of those could look really nice as weapon frameworks and armours

When you kill the lacerator(melee) dreadnought first, the arbalest does a special attack where it roars and shoots a lot of projectiles at everyone. I think it'd be cool if the lacerator also had a special attack, as currently it just roars and gets shot to death, usually

Uncommon Enemy Type: Neadocyte Latcher
Didn't see anything like this, specifically, suggested when searched. Below is an origional rendering by yours truly. The enemy would be a new type of Neadocyte that connects the missing link between Neadocyte Shocker and Neadocyte Breeder. It would hover high on cave roofs in the dark, then zoom down to a dwarf like a cave leach! Once latched onto their head it would deal some shock damage and force them to run around. Similar in some ways to both the Leach mechanic and the Mactera mechanic: thing latches onto you and you lose control.

Not sure if it would detatch like the mactera or if it would stay till you die like a cave leach.

Lore/Biology: A shocker eventually becomes seperated from its pack. This is natural and it begins to grow, with little competition. Longer fangs begin to form, and a single yellow eye develops on all 4 sides of the pink brain matter, which begins to darken to a purple. Its insides start to develop and atop its ball-shaped form puffs out a magenta pulsating sack. Tendrils form and elongate from its four "arm-bumpers". When latched onto pray with its teeth, the tendrils will wrap around and hold onto their victim. While feeding the organ sack inflates and deflates, pulsating a glowing pink

absolutely horrible idea i just had but i thought it would be funny

new dreadnought variant; doomnaught
basically a standard dreadnought crossed with a bulk detonator, if it's not killed within the time limit it's an auto mission fail
(or it can just be a really big explosion on death like a bigger bulk would, in wich case a crassus varint could also work)
haz 5 elimination missions only

( long post)

So been thinking a bit about a new class of drawf that maybe be a good addication to the team.

(The name would be the rioter or Shield Bearer)

This dwarf would be like the machine gunner and he would move slow but. He makes up for it with his muscle and his attitude also his equipment.

To start off his primary would be of course a riot shield and pistol, submachine gun or, a smaller use shotgun. The sheild would also have some useful way to kill the bugs too; be it spikes in the front or just the share power of this dwarf and how he slams into and on their heads.

secondier would be most likely a semi-automatic shotgun.

the way he would move or get up to high places. Would be two 3 prawn hiking claws and two spiked boots so he could climb up walls. ( no this doesn't mean he can hang on ceilings with this tools due to the amount of weight his carrying or by a bug hitting him; he would fall of)

special gear he would have. I was thinking for the grenade something sticky or goo something to proved cover and time. he could also have maybe some spike traps or spiked walls he could set up either like the driller with his c4 or the engineer with his turret.

Some time thought in skill tree and tools. This is sort of a suggestion but more an idea I have been figuring out for several years of playing.

The skill tree being easily finished at approx LVL 180, should have a group of extended Bubble unlocks which resets some fields so the accumulation of skill points get used. (I have 78 for no use).

This extended feature bubble when unlocked, consecutively unlocks an extended tree of feature properties on secondary tools only. Not weapons.

The tooling specifically should not allow a multi discipline class but extend a specific requirement by the class in its team relationship.

On the Engineer a tool extension off platform to build a bridge/ ladder. The platformer mod uses an extended set of telescopic rods which when pointed at a wall point extend out to a specific limit and latch onto the terrain. Pressing another bottom at the same thereafter, detached the rods and deploys a raft of rails outwards like a feather or fern unfolding. The Engineer can use this a number of time but the skill tree unlock depends on this specifically.

The skill tree has 4 feature individual skills for tools use but only 1 can be used at any time. This is because all the other slots extend its use with battery packs. The maximum usage of any extended tool is 4 because the other slots hold batteries. If a player unlocks all 4 slots for each class, they remain unlocked but Batteries are expensive and require a lot of mining resources to replace.

I am working on the tool for the gunner as it must not destroy the optimal support in team play. It should be useful for team play and not be a single player ability as I have played over 1000 games and teamwork is better when you rely on another classes abilities.

This is a pretty big change to class build so I don't expect anything to come from this idea. I do however, think the Devs are exceptional thinkers as in creating a well balanced game platform.

suggesting to divide the armor, weapon skins for each part

for example, we can wear dark future leg and mk 3 armor torso at the same time

or we might atach the glyphid hunter rail and apply the dark future stock

in conclusion we can create our own skin by mixing each parts of cosmetics

even if we able to apply the paints for each part, our dwarves become more fancier

Hey, I know this game is 3 years old and I just joined this amazing game and don't know if this was asked or suggested; but what if you add panel in the space rig, when you interact with it, you will see all the unlockable / collectable things like: existing overclocks, skins and all the cosmetics that can be found during missions, I mean just to look at them as they are locked. I know there is wiki website about all of these, but would be cool if we had it in the game. OR we could have these directly in menus where u are going to add them, for example if u could see all "locked" overclocks, skins and paintjobs in their equip section at weapon customization panel, so you could hover it and just see their stats / visuals; and same for cosmetics for Dwarves at wardrobe.

IDEA: I do not browse this discord often, so am not sure if this idea has been said before but: seeing as the game is covering all of the bases for ways in which industry exploits the earth (or Hoxxes), there is one thing that has not been covered. We have, pretty broadly, representations of coal mining, oil extraction, eliminating the defenders of this natural habitat etc. However, there is not a lumber industry ran by DRG yet. There should be a mission type where you are sent to find massive tree-like structures, work to cut them down, chop them up, and load them into molly or some sort of other large extractor all while defending yourselves from a hoard. Of course it would not have to be an actual tree, but anything resembling that would be fitting. Could be really fun and interesting. I'm imagining how great and big the rooms would be when you do these missions

I don't care if it's been said before, it needs to be said again: Blacklist the Low O2 modifier on On-Site Refining, or at least give us an additional objective-based source such as the pipelines, pumpjacks, or a MULE. Every other mode (except possibly Point Extraction, which this should also apply to) has a mobile "objective" that provides Oxygen that the team must stay focused around, with enough leeway to explore the rest of the cave for materials but not being required to spend extended periods of time away from the objective. Refining has a single objective location that provides Oxygen, but requires you to traverse at times the entire map, which without a mobile source of oxygen is impractical at best and impossible without burning your nitra at worst. Even on lower hazard levels it's a pain and on high hazard levels it can be essentially impossible.

Hello, I have been enjoying Deep Rock Galactic for some time now, congratulations on your game.
Idea for Deep Rock Galactic.

#

Imagine a dwarf mining world Monopolized by 3 large mega-corporations (for example).
Each mining company or corporation, all with their advantages and disadvantages (you could also see mercenary dwarf miners that would be free) with different types of equipment, weapons and uniforms, even add different mods in the form of mining equipment or cards that would be exclusive to the company you work with.
and to be able to improve the stats with materials.
These companies would also compete for mining exploitations and new territories (surely this can be very difficult to do but it would give a lot of depth to Deep Rock Galactic).
You could change companies with penalties and bonuses, but these mega-corporations in addition to the advantages and disadvantages always seek to exploit the dwarf miner with that you would get that there is no rivalry between dwarves, because we would always be looking for the best way to make a living, you could even see missions in which several companies participate together or in which they would compete for territories, these mega-corporations would not miss the opportunity to try to sell and advertise you everywhere even on the ship to bring down to the mine their insurance packages. All mega-corporations would have different interests and philosophies.
........

#

Imagine as you go down into the mine some giant screens where a very nice voice tries to sell you an insurance package, upgrades for your drill even job offers in another company. (always with a lot of humor) ......................

Have you ever thought about what you want to do when you retire? we offer you with the ELITE mining pack to enjoy a vacation on planet xion 12 with all the free ice cold beer you can drink to spend a nice day with your family in this paradisiacal place? (some ads would be chained together)(the loading times would be great)
By the way now is the perfect time to think about your families?? working in the mine can sometimes be dangerous and that's why from CORP-Galactic Insurance we offer you our best products for a minimum percentage of your income in which you can have all the spare parts you need for your EXTRA ELITE mining equipment. And now as a special offer if you don't come back alive from the mine we give your family and friends a Nitra handle pans for the home and a full dental insurance for 3 days.

I hope you like it and you can get some good ideas from this 😉 thanks for making a great game. 🐒

The Tranquilizer Rounds-overclock for Driller's Subata is a cool concept for a support weapon. In practice it lowers the DPS of the weapon enough to not really be worth the trouble. If it also applied neurotoxin on top of the stun (with the same duration as neurotoxin grenade) on targets hit its sustained damage would improve while also further enhanching the support weapon-theme.

mossy laurel Mar 29, 2021, 9:50 AM

To add on to this, I think volatile rounds could be buffed a bit to further enforce the support role of the subata. By making most of it's damage rely on existing effects, it could finally have a unique identity compared to the direct damage plasma pistol

Slightly "Lead Storm" overclock rework - instead "No Movement Speed While Using" set a -95% (or even -99%) Speed Movement, just to feel it a little bit better.
It feels kinda silly when you start shooting and "stick" on the some place tightly for this moment. I guess 95/99% speed reduce will feel a little better, but don't will break balance.
UPD: I know about the jumping, but when I landing, I "stick to the ground" for a moment. It slightly slows down the pace and dynamics of game. That's why a suggest that.

I think the Hiveguard needs to be a bit more threatening. I like the first phase, with the Sentinels, but once they're all dead the HG itself is so much slower and less aggressive than the other dreads that the biggest risk is running out of ammo. Especially on higher hazard ratings, I think it could do with being made more dangerous. Here's a couple of ideas:

During the second phase, when the sentinels are dead, give it a new attack where it spews out orange sticky goo in a line, or have it leave a goo trail. This would act as area denial, since you can't dodge the fireball lobbing while stuck in goo. Plus, it's different from anything the other dreads have.
Once it's down to half health or less, have Sentinels periodically spawn in during the second and third phases.
Give the sentinels a projectile attack with a long cooldown, or something like Praetorian acid breath, or a pounce attack.

A new mission type. Along with the dwarfes comes in an extractor consisting of 4 parts. The parts, which have the size of a big mineral you need to carry, need to be carried to deposits of a certain mineral and have to be assembled on them to extract it. As soon as it is done, you grab the containers on them, empty the goods into molly and take the extractor apart again just to haul it to the next deposit. A mission could have 2 to 6 deposits, depending on the mission length.

Add a customizable Omen tower on the space rig that acts as a weapon testing dummy. The main reason on why the event can be so difficult is that it heavily punishes not knowing the patterns or the objective, both of which you can only learn by having done the randomly spawning event many times before or through guides outside the game which defeats the point. By having it act as a training dummy you'd allow players to familiarize themselves with its attacks and learn how to counter it effectively in a safe area, giving them much better odds of beating the event.

Having Dorretta go through sand blasters (the wall geysers in sandblasted corridors) is not really... err... conducive to victory in any possible way.

(New bug type )

The bug would be a new enemy type called the. ( Bull beetle ) This enemy type is a medium to large type of enemy and is a group animal which means they travel in a pack of 2,4,or 6. They're like shellback; way that if they  hit you go flying OR you get trampled which means the dwarf has to take time to unstuck them (could get out fast if added from another dwarfs if this happens) or just get up themself. (but it takes longer and may be swarmed or trampled more.)

The way I would see them or if you can imagine it would have a heavy armor up front like an oppressor(which can’t be shot throw ); and sharp like rigs on its four/six (depending on if it male or female ) powerful legs like the shellback. That connects to a very large and bloated but muscular body. At the top of the head it would have very small glowing red eyes or twitch things to sense things and food that it chomps down with a big deck like mouth; also well as maybe one or two horn (again depending if male or female)

Weak points: would be of course it legs which armor isn't as tough as the head and/or. In the back or sides where there isn't a lot of armor if any at all like a praetorian but it glows red or other colors ( RND: team have reports that some teams find it easier to take them down by tricking them to slam their head into things; than shoot them from behind or taking out the legs. Or use a lot of boom boom.)

Some kind of new dreadnaught/ bug that can create its own terrain, like webs or rock towers. We’ve got bugs that path on the ground and through the air, next up would be bugs that can generate their own terrain, either as stalagmite/tite generators or some kind of spider web generating beast. They’d make the driller have a role in toppling them or scout to smack them up close. I suppose you’d make them melee-weak so engi and gunner don’t just need to snipe them or something. Just a thought. R&S

Quality of Life for certain paintjobs regarding armor and weapons as well as DLC inconsistencies. Examples given below but there could be more that I haven't noticed yet:

1 - Allow the scale brigade weapon paintjob to be used on all frameworks instead of being exclusive to the scale brigade framework with default paint job selected.

2 - Allow the default armor paintjob to be an option for armors where the default paint job isn't the original usual default. Some examples being how you can't use the Driller's usual default yellow paint job for the dark future and scale brigade armor.

3 - Add a pickaxe paint job for the Dark Future DLC, it's very odd how I can have the full set for armor, Bosco, and weapons, but I can't have my pickaxe have the black digital camo look which looks very out of place, would be a nice little quality of life for people who want to go full on with the set/theme. Another example of this issue is Bosco lacking a Megacorp DLC paint job.

Concluding notes:

I feel like these are very little oversights and thought it was worth mentioning. It'd make paintjobs and frameworks a little bit more consistent instead of having awkward instances like those where you can't have a certain paintjob for a certain thing. I like having complete sets so that's why it kinda bothers me. That is all I wanted to share, cheers!

Give the host the ability to lock a lobby entirely so nobody will be able to join, friends or not, and make this a toggle-able option just like the 'lock randoms' button at the bottom left of any game session.
This is usable for 1 on 1 teaching sessions or to try certain achievements without having others to interrupt in the middle, or just if you want to be alone but not forcing the game to go in complete solo mode (so it'll be a flexible option in mid game).

Most players agree about a nerf for the cryocanon : it is overperforming. In my opinion, the weapon should be nerfed but not the frozen control itself. Scout uses it very well with cryo grenade and cryominelets, so nerfing the control would indirectly nerf some aspects of the scout and our blue boi does not deserve this.

Ok apparently it is unclear so, TLDR : please nerf cryocanon without nerfing cryo grenade and cryominelets

An OC that makes your dwarf hurl empty (or half-empty) canisters like grenades on reload. Hold R to aim, release to throw. The reload is delayed until you throw the canister. Born ready works just like with normal CRSPR. No ammo lost, no scaling damage to keep it simple and consistent.
An OC that allows you to make a charged attack that makes a HUGE cone of fire and consumes a canister worth of fuel.

Disclaimer: I like escorts as is, some people don’t for some reason. I would love to see more done with it though.
Escort Overhaul#1: First thing to change things up a bit would be the boss fight at the end of the mission, different variations like a rock golem or the scanners accidentally sent you to a massive glyphid nest etc., I think some changes similar to the new dreadnought variations could really liven up this mission.
Some Other things that also go along with the variations premise:
-Variations of doretta like a laser-dozer that lasermines deposits in place of both refueling stages and hearthstone and must be collected by the dwarves

Variations of refuel stages, for example a jam in dorettas gears that takes x amount of time to repair and the bugs keep coming
That’s about all I could think of hopefully it sounds appealing to you devs and yeah I guess some simpler fixes for the complainers would be faster doretta and faster refueling of the canisters. Love the game and love escorts, thanks!

Right now, the "double barrel" OC is quite weak for multiple reasons. The normal one cited is ammo economy, but that's not the only one. This OC also does not really come through on its main selling point-that is to say, it does not actually let you "unload both barrels at once".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utrf5V_r8BU
Instead of firing both shells at the same time, it fires one after the other in a quick burst. This means that both your shots are not aimed at the same place like you would expect-the second shot will be high of your target due to recoil, and at anything past absolute literally-bumping-enemy-collision point blank range, this causes you to miss pellets that would otherwise hit. (Or even still at point blank range if you're aiming near the top of the enemy's hitbox.)

If double barrel actually fired both barrels at once, it would not only make the OC more accurate to its description, it would also be a mild buff and make it less of a trap option for players who don't realize this is happening due to the speed this occurs at.

A few more variations for the Ommeran Hearthstone phases would bring variety to the mission and bring it away from being as repetitive as it currently feels like.
It is a great mission, however it feels like it is always the same.
The main event would remain at four phases, but these would randomly be chosen from a larger pool of possibilities while alternating between environmental threats and bugs as done persently.
Some ideas:

Raked chasm: The heartsone sends "claws" raking towards Doretta that to be destroyed or they will damage it. Design similar to beamers, just multiple of them next to each other and far shorter. Leaves behind grooves in the ground.
Ommeran guardians: Bugs that are affected by the hearthstone to be improved variations of normal bugs (could make appearances in other game modes as random spawns to spice things up and use the investment into designing new bugs)
The floor is lava: Damaging AOE around the heartstone that damages players, bugs and the dozer so the latter has to be repaired constantly while maintaining the defense
Ommeran vortex: Energy vortex that slows all enemies, the drilling process and negatively affects the dwarves weaponry, for example by reducing the rate of fire
Hardened crust: Not even Doretta can't drill through that, time to bring in the trusty nanite bomb dispenser!
Molten Core: Hearthstone radiates heat that damages everything too close

Change sound effects for Boomstick: boomstick sounds too weenie for how much power it has. Barely sounds like a gun. Needs more boom.

More distinct sound effects for glyphids, especially slashers: Big glyphids make plenty of noise and you know where they are because of their loud steps but grunt-sized ones make very little noise other than the occasional, non-distinct screech that is the same for all of them. This is frustrating when you get backstabbed by a slasher. Slashers in my opinion are the single most dangerous glyphid (I play on Haz 5, where slashers kill in 2-3 hits). The fact that there is no audio cue that they are about to get you is frustrating.

I'd suggest having a unique sound effect for slashers that is audible when they get within a few meters of you so that you can react. Guards and Spitters should also have their own unique sounds as well.

Earlier the user @vocal atlas suggested something very interesting, a HUGE change to the Inferno oc (breach cutter) : what if the oc would deal cold damage instead of fire ? It would turn the bc into more of a control and and make it much more useful (frozen control being so much better than burning control). A second cryocanon in a team would probably be insanely strong though drillchamp ! The name of the oc would be changed too ofc, I propose : Frostbite, Brinicle (which does not fit entirely the idea of bc but the word sounds cool imo), or Lyophilisator.

My previous large post were deleted as "repeated one", so I'll rework it a little bit, and I gonna post it part by part to see a feedback, may be with some additations.

So, concept of "Tool Guns". I like an idea to gybrid gun that could be used as a tool, like a EPC for mining.
Could be cool to see more things like that (not necessary my concepts), especially with awesome "industrial" DRG style.

But my first idea is simple.

Repair Rifle - gun that fires "universal nano-charges", or nanites (that we already got in a lore). If it hits some broken machinery, nanites will repair it (so, fire on broken stuff and fix it). It it hits enemies - it starts to devour their armor and provide some damage.
This thing could be semi-automatic (that fires with a few ammo in one burst, I mean), may be with a "stackable" damage (but, of course, with some limits) - like "more nanites to damage a bug".

How this stuff will be connect to a classes - it's up to devs. This one could be use by Engineer.

It will be awesome if you give 1/1 passive and active perks to Dwarves, I mean default perks that will be only for that class, that can not be changed, for example: "Second Wind" passive for Scout, "Unstoppable" to Driller and something like that? just like racial traits in WoW, or in old game Brink - where big guy could carry big guns but be slower, and slim one could run faster and jump higher. Default passive and active perks should also remain the same: 3 passive / 2 active as it is now.
These Dwarves are different from each other with weapons and gear, will be cool if they will have more things for their own. I don't think it will affect balance that much...
I wish they they also where different shapes, like Driller just a bit bulky, Gunner kinda taller of them all, scout smallest... but it's just my ideas, I know it's not going to happen after 3 years.

whispers also weapon special skins and color variations that you can find after Deep dives as overclocks, same as beards and gear cosmetics should be obtainable for all classes, instead of single class. I't sucks that I always get desired cosmetic for wrong class...

for Elimination missions, some sort of indicator of which kind of dreadnought is in that specific cocoon so the team can prep the room properly for that specific boss

A primary weapon for the Gunner - Some form of Gatling laser
While the thunderhead has a long reload, and the minigun overheats to limit sustained fire, this gun would rely more on high-damage burst fire. Essentially, you hold the trigger to charge the gun up (for ~a second) after which it fires constantly while unwinding (perhaps ~3-4 seconds, movement slowed while firing). This would encourage mobility and cover compared to sustained fire

Upgrades could include a shorter charge time before shooting, shooting for longer on a given charge, accuracy, allowing the gun to fire a volley without being fully charged etc, along with mundane things like ammo, blowthrough rounds etc.
Overclocks could encourage longer bursts or shorter load times, heat up targets, and perhaps alt-fire functions similar to the Ice Spear OC for the cryocannon.

giving the end result screen after each mission
a damage counter for each player

this would help more clearly show the killing dont by each player
as just showing raw kills isnt very representative

fx, scout tends to be more focused on big enemies and key targets
and therefore gets less kills as a whole from that alone

TLDR: kill and damage endscreen counter

would love to see bullets having a light-up effect! light is generated when you fire guns, but the bullet/bullets don't have any light up feature them self. This is most clear when playing gunner. Seeing the already yellow glowing bullets, make me feel slightly cheated when they don't make any light when flying thru the air. This would work great as a way of letting gunner see bugs on the wall and ceiling with sustained fire. The light-up feature would not make scout obsolete. it would only let gunner and other dwarfs with fast firing guns to deal with a already located threat. Anyway i don't think toning down the reliance of scouts and his light-utility would be a bad thing. Seeing that the game already have some beautiful lighting this would fit nice inn and i would love to see this in a future update.

Now that the Azure Weld is fully in the game, and by having a chance to play on it I now know the one thing this game is missing: Colour-Blind mode. I have Tritanopia and Aquarq and Morkite missions are virtually impossible. I heavily rely on my teammates and basically am just a drag on the team ~~Nitra is super easy to spot though~~. I haven't noticed this on other biomes as much as it just hasn't been an issue, but with the Weld just sort being Blue I can't notice anything. Some suggestions then other than a pure colour blind mode is to maybe change the colour of those minerals in the Weld due to it being filled with organic matter? Not sure how to fully fix this, but this should be done. ~~Edit: This is by no means related to the fact that Morkite was in every DD mission this week, and we also had a Aquarq mission. All in the Weld.~~

In my opinion, the game could benefit from a "biome bonus". It would work as follow: you'd get a little bonus exp or gold for playing Magma Core, compared to Crystalline Caverns for example. Each biome could have a tiny multiplier per their difficulty. Magma Core would be the highest/hardest biome etc.

Alternative version of "Mission completed" screen: instead of a biome picture with that sign - a small cutscene where Space Rig "cathches" a Drop Pod from planet orbit with Gravitational Hook and pulls inward of station, then this sign (if it possible for that screen's duration, I mean, suits for a time).
Also, option, that allows to people to turn off this cut scene, if they want an old screen.
May be an extra option that set a percent of chance that it cutscene appearce, so it wouldn't be so annoying.
I just think that's it will be kinda immersive. We see a cutscene in a start of the game how DP sends from the Space Rig, we see, how it it flies to Hoxxes while loading screen, but never see how it goes back.

I know that suggestions about solo play are low on the priority list but please make Bosco faster when the player is down. Our little drone takes a lot of time to reach the player sometimes. It happened to me on a Salvage Operation, I was ejected by an oppressor and travelled through the entire cave before dying to fall damage. All of this during the triangulation of course. Bosco took too much time to fly toward me and resurrect me and I lost the mission because well, no other dwarf was here to stay in the triangulation zone.

Or the problem comes from the speed at which the triangulation process decreases (on solo).

Ok I'm going to get some elvish insults for this but anyway, rework Chain Hit on Bulldog. It is too similar to Magic Bullet. The vanilla bulldog could get a lot more love with a simple clean OC that adds a little bit more ammo (like 4) and a tiny bit of damage or reload speed or accuracy.

Would like the flashlight to have a longer reach. The flashlight only work effectively up to 7 meters and i think this is a bit short.

As many people have pointed out, Leadspray OC nearly doubling DPS for only an accuracy penalty is kinda silly.

However, I don't think the net result is OP on Gunner as a class, so I think this OC should recieve the treatment Carpet Bomber got: move some of Leadspray's damage to the base gun, so other OCs shine more.

Might be interesting to change the current way glyphids enter the level. Right now they just sort of pop in while some dirt particles spray around. It might be neat to actually have glyphids dig tunnels from out side nest chambers, to the chambers of the main level. Sort of like the glyphid swarmers. I think it might feel more organic and make use of DeepRocks great voxel system. It might also be awsome to have a glyphid grunt dropper, which instead of going straight for players, would crawl to a point on the ceiling above players and then drop down on to them.

For Update 34, if the devs are tweaking some of the m1k's ocs (I hope they will) I would like to suggest something. Make it so more of those overclocks are usable with a hipfire build if possible. For now, Minimal Clip and Hipster are the only ocs that can be used for a normal shot oriented gameplay because the others only trigger with charged shots. Many ideas have been suggested like bouncy bullets or changing Supercooling chamber so it affects ALL damage on the weapon and I think those are very good already but what about Electrocuting Focus Shots ? Make it so normal shots also have a chance to trigger a shock for example.

New Secondary Objective: S.A.M. Salvage.

Locate and reactivate/repair 3/5/7 Sonar Actuated Mapper Drones.
Design/Appearance: Larger model APD with "radio/scanner backpack" styled equipment.

Lore: Deep Rock Galactic had experimented with many types of scanning equipment before settling on its current orbital scan method for determining where to send mining teams, the S.A.M. Drone being an earlier, bulkier model of the APD we know and cherish today. Left behind due to cost or "technical" difficulties of Hoxxes IV, despite positive feedback from most expeditions that did utilize them.

Game Mission Context: The arrival of the Droppod has picked up on the S.A.M.'s transponders, Management is willing to give the team a bonus for reactivating/repairing the drones, as they may hold valuable geological data that the folks down in R&D could put to use.

Mission Function/Design: Found primarily by their transponder light slowly blinking a soft{insert color here} SAMs would mostly be found in larger rooms, or the openings to them, possibly halfway into terrain, and would have a short interaction period, upon which they rise into the air slightly and make a pulse outline akin to C4(preferably white), then remain stationary.
After activating, surrounding terrain would be mapped on the terrain scanner in an appreciable area if it already hasn't been.

Personal thoughts/comments: I feel this would be a unique and rewarding secondary objective with little in the way of needing to design "from the ground up" as well as helping to flesh out the "narrative" of the game in some small way, probably through the voice lines this idea could produce if it makes the cut for consideration.
Additional personal thoughts and understanding of how the game works/coded and its limitations can be found here in the discussion channel: #suggestion-discussion message

Thank you for your time, Rock and Stone!

Adding some more stats when customizing weapons. Something like displaying the total damage per second of a weapon would be helpful. adding others like the dps against mactera/enemies that are on fire for the subata that have other modifiers that change how much damage it deals. A different issue is for heat and freezing power for driller. Having a freezing power of 11 compared to 10 makes a noticable difference in game but in the menu it seems like it will gain very little freezing power. Making the freezing power displayed in time or some other measurement would be helpful for understanding its effect.

Often times the game is too bright in my opinion. Make it to where flares are just barely slower to recharge depending on the team size. Like 5% less than current recharge rate, per player. Ex: solo= 5% slower, duo=10% slower, quad=20% slower, or something similar. This is because a lot of times missions with more than one person feel to illuminated. On top of this it would make the game asthetics and natural lighting more appreciated, more thought going into flare placement, Bosco’s light more appreciated, as well as making the scout flare Gun more helpful. If you wanted to take the concept further you could increase the recharge rate on top of that based on difficulty, or make a modifier out of it, ex: Dark Veil: flare capacity: -1 and flare recharge rate: -35%. Also buff the flashlight.

I think it would be useful if the game disabled the ability of petting Doretta whenever the health of any of the parts is below 100% (or maybe critical health%, idk). Sometimes you want to repair in a hurry and you nervously mash on E, but if the "PET" option pops up it actually makes you lose time, and that time sometimes can be critical, precious seconds where you could've saved a body part with less than 10% health.
In short: make so that you can pet the Dozer only if all its body parts are at 100% (or above critical%) health, it may sound unnecessary, but i think it could help.
If some players would like to keep the ability of petting the Dozer despite its health, i'd suggest to make it an option which can be enabled or disabled.
EDIT: i found out that you can istantly repair the dozer during the pet animation, so my suggestion is pointless! Apologies

Subata OC idea: exploding shots.
Much less ammo (maybe 5 in clip, 20-25 in reserve)
Slower fire rate.
Obviously explodes in contact.
Medium bugs shot with it will die in one shot( like the bullet exploding in the bug)
Large bugs take critical point damage to any non armored points.
Now, I got the idea from warhammer 40k, with bolter pistols, but I think it would fit, maybe with more extreme downsides. I also feel like the Subata is horribly underused, so giving it some good overclocks will be good for balance

This has a continuation so bear with me

Biome Idea
Fulminating Forest
A dense forest of perpetual rain and strange lightning, so if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere, you have a high chance of getting struck by lightning, but if you're surrounded by trees, the trees could get struck and potentially light on fire. Could have those electricity crystals from crystalline caverns.

Objective Idea

Fire prevention

You have to build a machine during the growing fire that releases drones with extinguishers, but the noise and extinguishing powder attracts mactera that try to destroy the drones. If a drone dies it has to be carried back to the machine to get repairs. Only 3 drones could be active?

Fulminating Forest: Superdense forest area with only light rain, but a lightning strike causes a massive ever growing fire

Hollow Bough: The massive roots and invasive vines catch fire, and the vines writhe, spreading it faster. Pieces of the charred ceiling would fall around dwarves in the danger zone

Azure Weald: An exploder mishap or something causes a light, and the beautiful blue glowing foliage becomes an inferno of bright blue death, the fire does more damage

Radioactive Exclusion Zone: A large biomass making up the floors and walls would get lit by something, perhaps internal body temperature, and combust. Parasites would burst out of the ground trying to escape the hellfire

Fungus Bogs: Think of the azure weald's situation, but the fire does regular damage, is a regular color, and the smoke is toxic

Crystalline Caverns: A special type of sulfur crystal cave would be found, lit ablaze by a machine malfunctioning, maybe? Flaming crystals could explode, spreading more fire

Dense Biozone: A large network of coral trees and balls or whatever they're called, and when they get lit on fire they could crackle and pop, maybe shooting off thermite fire or sticky fire?

#

Glacial Strata: Either this mission type wouldn't be possible here, or there could be hydrogen ice, which somehow combusts and leads to massive streams of liquid fire spreading around the glacial strata

Magma Core: Volcanic super eruption, where the floor starts slowly blowing open with magma pouring out, and the drones would have to dump powder on it to harden the magma back into stone

Salt Pits: Potentially a cave with a higher amount of pure sodium metal, burning unbelievably bright, maybe causing streams of molten burning sodium like Glacial strata?

Sandblasted Corridors: I can't even begin to think how this would work, so it probably wouldn't happen here.

Platform Gun Upgrade Idea

Insulation

Platforms protect from getting struck or hurt by lightning

Is in the same league as reduced fall damage, so you can only have reduced fall damage or electricity immunity

This is a bit ambitious lol

Endemic Life / Geology temporary buffs. (Either as a droppable piece you pick up, gained on destroy, or as an aura when standing near.) Below are some ideas;

Eyeballs give better night vision for x seconds.
Plants that spray pollen grant slow fall for x seconds.
Certain plants when destroyed coat you with a bioluminescense that makes you blend in with the environment and become invisible to enemies for x seconds.
Loot Bug Ichor gives 1.5x resource gains for x amount of seconds. (Not always guaranteed, but 100% on goldens.)
Electric and Radioactive Crystals when broken grant bonus relevant elemental weapon damage for X seconds.
Oasis Vents in Glacial Strata grant temporary movement speed increase when passed through for X seconds.
(NEW) Add Volatile Sodium Nodules which can be grabbed and thrown like a Gunk Seed, and explode on impact, located in the Salt Pits only. (Acts like a floor or wall growth and free grenade, does not blow up if shot, only if grabbed and thrown. Can decide if you want it to regenerate or not.)

(Gonna have to post in two parts btw, so info on prae is further down)

This is only one of them, but I have some concepts for new biome variants other than frozen and irradiated. I am sure variant concepts have already been pitched, but I am also pretty sure that this suggestion will be somewhat unique. I think that if these variants were added they should only be about a 10% chance of spawning instead of a standard one, and should be more of a new type of biome-specific glyphid than a variant.

“TANGLED”

Desc:

These uncommon glyphids seem to have been covered in the thorny flora residing in the Hollow Borough. This means that they are a larger threat than usual. Handle with care.

Basic functional difference of variant:

-Base contact damage
-not entirely sure but possibly a thorns-like effect to where non-power attack pickaxe strikes deal a small amount of damage to you

Appearance and extra functions

-Grunt: slight beige-green coloration of the grass in the Borough. A few mini twisty vines across the body, possibly moving upon the grunt being hit, kinda like in-game twisty vines.

-Guards and Slashers: Grunt guards and slashers could have the same beige-green coloration as the grunts, except maybe guards could have a mini thorn pod or a few white/red thorns in patches on the shell. Slasher’s spikes could also be made to look more like the spikes on the end of the stabber vines.

This should be an easy one: the next time you get Javier back in the recording studio for some other, larger add-on, maybe have him toss in a couple lines for the dwarves to say goodbye to their surviving steeves when they board the drop pod. It'd be a simple and cute addition, and would definitely increase the appeal.

Lore-wise, since they straight-up mourn the loss of Steevey in some instances, it would make sense for them to say goodbye after entering the exit zone.

Rock & stone, you guys kick ass.

(Pt 2 for the “Tangled” concept)

-Praetorian: the praetorian is mainly where the known concept of a “biome-specific variant” falls off. Of course it could have the basic features of the other concepts, but I was thinking of something a whole lot more unique, (and a whole lot more unlikely) to add. The dreadnaught would not look the same as the grunt variant’s color-concept. It’s armor would instead have a slight brown tint to it, and the abdomen would have more of a lime-green color. The dread would have 1-2 clusters of miniature stabber-vines stabbing anyone nearby in a short range. The praetorian would also have a few vines covering the glyphid, each vine with spikes protruding out from the vine whenever a player approaches, just like the ones in the level (forgot the name.) this praetorian would also have a thorn pod on top of its body that shot out its spikes up out of the pod, into the surrounding area, whenever the praetorian roared.

A rare formation that could spawn in sandblast corridors are giant light or sun crystals that spawn on top of large chambers that produce enough light to brighten up most of the area there in. They could also warm you up if you get near them and maybe even set you on fire if you get too close. They could be a nice natural feature that would help explorations in particularly large caves kind of like how the obelisks in Azure Weald can provide a handy defense boost to you when your around them or the elevator plants in Dense Biozone that let you reach high places.

A tower defense mode, basiclly two chambers, and three tunnels. After a short preparation time, where miners place down large emplacements (rocket turrets, mines, sticky traps, etc) hordes of glyphids start spawning in one chamber, and try to get to the other chamber. If a certain number gets to the second chamber the game is lost. If the players hold out for 10-15 mins, the game is won.

(This time going to be in three parts.)

This is my second biome-specific glyphid variant, this time for the Crystalline Caverns. I have been debating going with either an emp or a Tesla tower style variant, and have decided on a blend of the two. It is very possible that the disable values are too high, and are of course interchangeable. Just like the previous “Tangled” concept. I am thinking of about a 10% chance of spawning instead of the standard glyphid counterpart, however am starting to lean more towards 15%. Also, in case it wasn’t clear last time, the “base functional difference of variant” is the section that includes the effects shared by all variants.

“CRYSTALLINE”

Desc:

Electric crystals have formed on the backs of these creatures, rapidly arcing lightning between each other. The bigger crystals can even act as an EMP on nearby devices.

Basic functional difference of variant:

-Almost constantly arcs lightning between the crystals of different nearby Crystalline glyphids, dealing constant moderate damage to any players caught in the beam.
-has a small chance every few seconds, to shock a nearby player, disabling a random weapon or tool of their’s, for about 5-10 seconds.

Appearance and extra functions:

-Grunt: along with the blue crystals along its shell, the grunt would have a monotone look similar to the glacial strata variant’s coloration, except lighter and less blue.
With lightning bouncing from crystal to crystal on its back for extra flare. The crystals on its back would provide a very small, pale, light. Other than that the grunt would have no special functionality other than the basic functional differences I explained further up.

(Exploders, guards, slashers, & Praes are down below)

#

-Exploder: the exploders sac coloration would become a light blue color, and would have small crystals sticking out some of them, as well as the explosive sacs looking like inside each sac is a ball of lightning (idk how to explain.) Upon death the exploder would explode, with lightning bursting outwards in all directions. This attack would only deal about 25% damage compared with a usual exploder, but would instead disable any devices (bosco, turrets, Molly, bet-c, and shield gen,) however, at the same time it would not target any of these devices. If a player is caught in the blast all of their weapons and tools would be disabled for a short time. The blast radius may also be bigger/smaller for balancing purposes.

#

-Guard: Vanity-wise grunt guards would have the same lightning and crystal effect on the top of its shell, just like the grunt, except smaller and less noticeable crystals. It will also share the same coloration as the Crystalline grunt. The leg armor that the standard glyphid guard has will instead be covered in a light blue crystal. The functional difference of the Crystalline glyphid guard makes it to where the leg armor is no longer breakable. Additionally, whenever the guard is blocking, the crystal becomes electrified, and begins to glow and emit small bits of electricity. This means that if the leg armor is hit with kinetic/electric damage while the guard is blocking, it will trigger a static shock, which is a forward facing blast that disables all devices, weapons, and tools in the AoE for 3s. As well as dealing a small bit of damage.

Slasher: slashers have the same coloration and back crystals as the grunts and guards. After a slasher deals damage to any player twice the third hit will disable both the mobility and utility tool of that dwarf for 5s.

Praetorian: The praetorian’s shell would be partially covered in crystals, as well as the coloration being just slightly darker than the rest of the Crystalline variants. The abdomen would have a effect and coloration similar to the explosive sacs of the crystalline exploder. The poison breath attack would instead be lightning smoke, with it mostly looking like lightning with a small bit of grey smoke, to make it fit more with the game. This breath attack would last only around 75% of the time the normal poison breath does, as well as obviously dealing lightning damage, and more of it. The death cloud of the praetorian would be a dark smoke cloud, with electricity arcing throughout it (similar to the electric smoke in titanfall 2.) The death cloud would disable the use of utility and mobility tools while inside it, and would deal slightly more damage, be non-ignite-able, and be harder to see through.

Lost Probe Missions
(Search "MooseThoughts" to locate this idea.)

"Well gentleman it's another day on Hoxxes, and your mission is to recover a particularly important probe. Its last transmission was an S.O.S. so likely it has encountered some trouble. Management needs you to find, fix, and recover it at all costs. A BetC has been sent to assist you in this endeavour. Good luck and good hunting!"

A new mode which offers the opportunity to locate a damaged lost probe and then defend it while collecting local materials to repair it while fighting off timed waves of bugs. BetC joins the fray from the get-go making this mission type unique since it is deployed as support from the start.

The Primary Objective is to collect a special mineral quantity to repair the probe. A small amount of Nitra can be used to power a temporary shield on the Probe if you're getting overwhelmed with a medium length cooldown on it. Once the probe is fixed, either it can be strapped to Molly like the Ommuran Heart or it can be carried by a player to the drop ship (Devs choice)

The Secondary Objective is to destroy 1 out of 3 special Glyphid nests which are sending bugs to attack the probe periodically. Nests are difficult but not impossible to destroy and offers a strategic component for players to choose from. Do you ignore them and fix the probe as fast as possible? Do you destroy 1 to ease the flow of that Glyphid type? Do you destroy all 3 to gain bonus XP or Credits?

Nest Types

Large Glyphids (Praetorians, Opressors)
Exploder Types
Macteras of all Types

This mission combines aspects of many missions to become an interesting new mode. (Mine X Resource / Defend Drilldozer / Find Pumpjack Drop Target / Nitra Collection / Collecting Ommuran Heart / Bug Slaying for Management)

Thank you.

The Salt Lichen

-Description: this rare type of lichen is a resident of the salt pits of Hoxxes. The Quartzite crystals on the lichen seem to glow red when danger is near. It is not yet known why they do this. Further study is required

-Appearance: white bit of lichen found on the floor or wall of a cave/cavern with tiny quartzite crystals which glow red when danger is near.

-Function: A type of lichen resident to the salt pits of Hoxxes. This rare lichen’s small crystals would glow red periodically whenever danger (cave leech, approaching wave, dread, korlok, or bet-C) is near. This would provide knowledgeable players with a heads up to prepare. This would also add something to the salt pits because IMO it’s kinda bland.

MMMhhMMMMMmmm....might be interesting as a bonus if you kill like the glyphid queen thats spawning the glyphids. Also very low priority suggestion: I have encounterd a few instances where several events happen at once and then mission control basically tries to catchup by saying all of its lines one after another. I think it might be interesting to have some sort of transition system, where the controller makes an exclamation, or radio static cuts in so that the controller can then skip to the next line. i.e "the drop pod is leaving with or with...OH MY...Retreving droppod" Also it might be an interesting mutator where mission control doesn't warn you about swarm attacks.

Ok so most of us have a ton of resources to spend, and I have a suggestion to get rid of them, in an at least somewhat reasonable way.

“The Premium Employee Membership”

”The space rig doesn’t pay for itself you know”

If any of you have ever played slime rancher I was thinking something along the lines of the membership In that game. There would be some sort of robot vendor like Lloyd and allow the vendor to sell permanent upgrades to the space rig (mostly vanity, maybe with some somewhat functional upgrades) Only request I have is don’t make the upgrades things like polishing/cleaning/modernizing, as it might ruin the feel of the space rig.

 Ideas:

-Some of the starting upgrades could be simple stuff like a guitar or a trash can
-The cost would be unreasonable but not unreachable. I was thinking at about a maximum of 50,000, although you could really go as high as you want.
-Some possible rewards: play-pen for Steve, so you don’t have to abandon him. I don’t know how it would work with having to tame a new one every time. I guess just say he got lost or something lol.
-shooting range/holographic-training sim to test out your weapons and grenades without having to go into a match.
-a trash shoot/airlock where if you exit you get sucked into space in front of the window and then frozen, similar to the wormhole beer. Same thing happens with barrels/beer mugs.
-could grant access to new beers to unlock
-bunk upgrades and customization
-a place to store models/terrariums/trophies, as well as a place to buy them.
-a collar for Steve in the color of your class
-I would find it hilarious if the final upgrade, costing 100,000 credits, which read “ultimate mystery item” was just a golden trash can or a new seat for mission control or something.

Context: even though the devs have gone out and said, no tool overclocks, on the one in a million chance they are, in fact added, I had some concepts for mobility tool overclocks that I thought were cool. I also left out some big ones because they had already been suggested.
Mobility Tool Overclock Concepts

Clean overclocks:
-Enhanced Winch: allows boosting both uphill and downhill. Zipline.
-Expert Platformer: improves accuracy, clip size, and reload speed. Plat Gun.
-Light drills: eliminates the movement speed reduction of using drills, as well as slightly faster drilling. Powerdrills.
-Jagged Hook: allows enemies to be pulled towards you and stunned with the hook. Grapple.

Balanced overclocks:
-Ion Venting: doubles overheat duration, but increases drill speed and reduces movement speed penalty when close to overheating. Powerdrills.
-Tactical Zip-line: Grants increased shield regen while riding zip-line, as well as fall damage reduction upon disconnection, but also eliminates the boost ability, as well as reducing base zipline movement speed. Zipline.
-Tactical Hooks: +20 to range and -1s for cooldown, however, makes it to where you only have ten grapple charges. Charges act as ammo for the grappling hook. Grapple.
-Safety Pads: landing on platforms almost entirely eliminates fall damage, but increases reload time. Plat Gun.

Unstable overclocks (the fun ones):
-Hammerpoint Drills: greatly reduces mining effectiveness and fuel, but adds chance to stun enemies upon hit and armor breaking, as well as greatly increased damage. Powerdrills.
-Cave-Sprinter Mk. II: -10 to range and reduced accuracy, however with -2 to cooldown and an increased hook speed. Grapple.
-Cavern Crosser: greatly increased range, max angle, and ammo capacity, but without the ability to fire while riding. Zipline.
-Supercharged Dispenser: reduces ammo capacity, but increases clip size, rate of fire, accuracy, and reload speed. Plat Gun.

Gun Mastery for Cosmetics
(Search "MooseThoughts" to locate this and other ideas.)

Much like Forge Mastery, guns could benefit from a mastery stat that tracks either an XP value on the gun, number of lifetime kills, or a stat of the Devs choice. Mastery on guns is purely for achievement and cosmetic purposes, awarding a unique cosmetic look for the weapons as either a recolor (completely Gold gun for instance) or a sweet new look.

This encourages gameplay with different weapons and is another long term goal addition to the game which benefits all classes without having to rebalance anything, and you will be doing it naturally as you level classes and promote anyhow. The parameters of the conditions to be obtained would be high, and determined by Devs but I would personally place the time needed to secure one completely mastered gun at 35 Player Account Levels with 1 class using the gun consistently.

They could decide if they wanted to retroactively grant a "point" of sorts for long term players for every X amount of account levels the player has, or some other method of distribution.

As an addition, it would be neat if the weapons were shown inside the Memorial Hall when mastered as part of a "Tools of the Trade" section with a brief lore script about the weapon, or anywhere else in the ship, like inside your cabin when that class is selected. Other players could then see it dynamically, and we all know the true endgame is cosmetics anyhow.

Thanks for reading!

@hard robin I just saw your idea posted in the suggestion-discussion channel (#suggestion-discussion message) and I wanted to expand on it a little bit:

I like the idea of carrying a Big-Ass Bomb and planting it inside of a warren of Hoxxes Bugs to neutralize it. But to separate it from a standard Escort mission, let's have the bomb be a carriable item that you have to haul by hand to a location deep within the warren (you can set the bomb down to deal with any swarms or carve out a path forward through terrain). Once you plant the bomb at the designated location and start the detonation sequence, you have a certain amount of time to get to minimum safe distance before it detonates. Once it detonates, you can clean up any remaining bugs and/or harvest any spoils and then call the drop pod to pick you up.

The Demorae Vine

-Description: The Demorae Vine is a mutation of a Cave Vine, caused by radiation from the Radioactive Exclusion Zone.

-Appearance: a forest-green vine with a lime green cluster of volatile gas sacs, similar in appearance to the radiated exploder’s explosive sacs.

Desc: These mutated Cave Vines are weighed down by the cluster of volatile sacs on the ends of the vines. Maintain a safe distance from these at all times

Function: A unique and dangerous type of flora residing in the Exclusion Zone. The flora cannot move like it’s unmated counterpart and is far from harmless. The flora can be activated upon the explosive tip of the vine being shot, pickaxed, grenaded, or touched. Upon being activated the vine will explode, dealing decent amounts of radiation damage in a large area. Shooting the vine itself with weapons such as the m100, breach cutter, or bulldog, will cut the vine, dropping the explosive gas cluster, which upon contact with the ground, would explode dealing additional damage, due to the cluster being dropped. This feature could be used to disperse swarms of enemies located under the vines or damage large enemies.

Elimination missions are about finding cacoons and destroying the dreadnoughts inside before they are fully developed and become too dangerous.
A mission about hunting one big fully developed dreadnought would be interesting.
It could be about tracking the beast and capturing it with equipment you've been given or maybe killing it and harvesting something from it.
I prefer the tracking and capturing because killing it would just be too similar to the elimination missions.
Trying my best to explain this rough idea I hope you get the gist of it.

Unstable Beers?

I had an idea for a new group of beers, which would cause unique effects, granting powerful buffs, along with slight negatives and a somewhat hefty price. The beers would pretty much act as temporary overclocks, without actually being temporary overclocks. They would also have their own beer slot, and rotate daily, just like other buff beers. It would also be cool if the potency said: “unstable” or “unknown” or “unique.”

-Chaos’s Classic: no friendly fire resistance, but +5% to all damage dealt
-Bunker Brew: +20% to health but no health gain from red sugar.
-The Depth Charge: x3 grenade capacity, +25% to radius and damage, but half non-explosive damage.
-Trailblazer’s brew: +50% to move speed and jump height, as well as -50% fall damage, but +50% to all damage sources other than fall damage.
-Barrage’s Premium: x2 RoF and -60% accuracy.
-The Old Timer: no HUD, but +10% damage.
-Gambler’s ale: randomized weapon damage, RoF, accuracy, and reload speed, for all 4 tools/weapons weapon every 20 seconds (80-130% difference.) Randomized health and damage for enemies (80-120% difference, Includes Dreads.) random enemy modifiers require at least 50% of the party to drink
-Swashbuckling Rum: +10% to jump height, doubles pickaxe damage for both standard and power attacks, triples power attack AoE as well as halves the power attack cool-down, but with double the ammo consumption and double reload time for other tools and weapons
-Patriot’s Peach Whiskey: halves damage, reload rate, accuracy, magazine size, and AoE of secondary weapon, while nearly doubling all the same stats for the primary weapon
-Outlaw’s Starfruit brew: halves damage, reload rate, accuracy, magazine size, and AoE of the primary weapon, while doubling all the same stats for the secondary weapon

All these beers could also serve as a new way to use all the money and beer materials everyone has stockpiled

I saw that art, and that gives me idea: how about some legendary extra rare loot bug that kinda "Moby Dick of loot bugs"?
Large, hard to kill, can escape as Huuli Hoarder (but appearse on a map twice - first time just moves to another cave, second time - escapes from the map)
Killing him gives a large amount of gold (and may be nitra), may be even a few Compressed Gold, and even one Bittergem.
He always crawls nearby a pack of glyphids, using them as a bodyguards. He can't manipulate them or something, it's just a some kind of "native relationship" - they dont touch him, he don't touch them, but he knows, that if predators (especially dwarves) tries to attack him, "bodyguards" will attack his offenders, so he can escape. So, obsession with chasing him causes death of many unexperienced dwarves (that's why he some kind of Moby Dick).

At least it could be some legend that dwarves tells to each other. Like a phrase "One day I'll hunt down Moby Bug", when they kills a lootbug.

I just want to some folklore for a dwarves. After all, they already has some kind of "miner's culture".

(New non-enemy bug types ) Maybe a bug called a skimmer or sand glider. Looks like a type of cave angel but with a large upper body on top and; just one tail-like back end that has a stinger/claw like thing on the back that it uses to catch things with.

Can be found in the sandblasted corridors just gliding or skimming the sand zone with four blue or brown eyes, and a brownish/tan skin tone with dark brown spots all over it. As well as maybe transparent like wings it used to float on top of the sand. ( may or maybe not be able to ride it like a skateboard)

Called the floating Sand-bag: Looks like a type of jellyfish that has sand in its body or, in some cases can hold smaller sandbags in the body. To protect it young for the sand storms that happen from time to time; and in a few special or rare cases can see dead maggots that it has caught and now eating/ absording in its body. ( maybe able to be used as a soft landing if a dwarf falls on top of it head or body) Can be found in the sandblasted corridors.

An overclock idea for the m1000 could be called rotary trigger or rotary firing system and it would fire a second shot when you let go of the trigger essentially making it a burst fire.

Clicking reload on the Minigun (That currently has the player spin the barrel) allows them to pre-spinup the barrel before firing. It might not be any faster than just holding the trigger to spinup, but lasts longer, and it's fun!
Edit: As an additional feature, when overheated the Reload button could also be used to attempt to cool down the gun faster, at the cost of damage and movement slowdown (More damage depending on the current heat level of the gun as it's cooling down).

M1K overclock that removes focus shot and buffs the ammo or normal shot dmg (or some other buff), this would allow scouts to focus on normal shot builds and give us a way to make it so normal shots fire on-key-down-press like traditional semi auto rifles as opposed to on-key-release (which is my biggest pet peeve with the m1k).

Overtime Bonus
(Search "MooseThoughts" to find this and other ideas.)

Not playing for extended periods of time grants a x% bonus to Credits and XP for x amount of missions.

Developers can math out the amount of time that would need to pass before this buff was applied to an account on login. Logically the buff does not make up wholly for the time not spent playing, but is a positive change for people with limited time to play and love the game. The bonus only applies to the player, not the lobby, so you won't have lobbies fishing for returning players only.

Game lore can explain it as "Deep Rock Galactic has received a large request and Management needs you to work some Overtime!"

"the trauma tequila is a fit challenge for someone wishing to face their fears, those who drink it soon go down wasted, then wake up frantic, citing dreams of their worst fears, whether it be the death of their loved ones, elves taking over, or just getting a pay cut, you wont be waking up unscathed, management is not responsible for any bouts of madness, hatred of the color green, or crying into your beer out of fear of a paycut, by buying this beer you agree that any permanent trauma is your own fault"
knocks you out like a blackout stout then you wake up in the bulk det room, you get back up just before it attacks, instead of clawing it just starts detonating, before the blast though you wake up for real, and are back in the space station

Elite Threat Exploders have a chance to spawn an Elite Threat Detonator, which has double the explosion diameter. (20m instead of 10m, for example). I just like big explosions.... a lot. Also, imagine running into an Elite Threat Crassus Detonator or an Elite Threat Haunted Cave. That'd be epic.

Some feedback regarding deep dives: something has to be done to improve on waiting times for people to join a deep dive while in the space rig, at the moment people need to go check the deep dive computer to see if any open deep dives are available. Open deep dives should really show up in the mission selection computer, along with regular missions, that way people can see if other players are waiting for someone to join their deep dives, or just play regular missions, but all available open lobbies should just show up together and let the player choose, at the moment it takes FOREVER for a full 4 team to join for a deep dive.

Can we have like a web spitter boss bug? I've been imagining this bug that spawns randomly in caves, stuns everybody it sees at the same time with webspit and drags one unfortunate dwarf far away from team to kill it. It would keep doing this for so long till you kill it. Random webs in caves could warn the team of dwarfs of it's possible spawning. It could be spiderlike, wait for dwarfs in the darkness of cave ceilings to pounce on them or just have web strings hanging. Or lassoing an already downed dwarf and dragging it away from the team, making it harder to revive! Maybe burrowing could be the thing? Anyway I was thinking of it being more ranged enemy than melee one, except for the snatching part.

I was imagining it could bring some real horror to the game with its jump-scare-like tactics and speed of the attacks. Making the dwarfs constantly watch for their backs. When this spitterbossbug dies it could burst its belly for huge swarm of swarmers! I dont know how to draw with computer but I looked on the internet for some art to imagine. Name could be 'Hunter spitter', you decide!

Also, would be sweet if you could carry heads of the defeated bugbosses back to the rig and put them in some trophy room!

Think about "Community-created" content like it was in TF2.
I mean, if someone made a really good quality mod that suits in a game, you'll add this ingame officially with a mark "community-made".
People who created mode gets a unique role on this server (something like "Mod Forger", I dunno), and his name will appeare in Memorial Hall in a special plate (like that memorial for alpha testers, but on a notable place, or may be somewhere else on a Space Rig). It could stimulates people a little bit to create something cool and unqiue ~~not a tons of anime trash or something worse~~ and "inscribe yourself" in a development of the game.

A mission type where you have to set up a forward operating base. Purpose could be monitoring local glyphs populations, keeping an eye on dreadnought and it can also explain how mission control knows how and when waves appear and where hearthstone are. It would be an unmaned litte base that might have all kinds of Antennas and radar dishes on it along with a energy powered turrets which would draw power from some kind of new resource that dwarves would have to build the base near or on.

An emeny that acts like a trap door spider, it could be patorian sized and would act like a cave leach/grabber where it would drag a poor dwarf in and attack them. To rescue the dwarves in its nest you would have to kill it by either using a grenade to destroy the door then shoot it or by mining the door first with a pickaxe. It would spawn in the dense biozone, fungus bog, and hollow bough. It would only be able to hold 1 dwarf at once.

weekly boss, (possibly something like a giant scorpion) where every week much like deep dives the mission has different benefits or negatives and even different secondary enemies in the "raid" so the main boss is constantly backed up by different enemies each week, maybe even rotate the bosses out every week once there more (Edit: Already said huh?)

Add more of an experience multiplier on low O2 missions that are either liquid morkite or aquark. It’s way more of a challenge since you don’t have molly or the mule around you and especially in larger maps is annoying to do. Missions take way too long because of having to run back and forth, and there’s definitely not enough nitra to constantly send drops down for O2. Thanks for reading!

Instead of just saying "no" or "yes" to double warnings (at least for assignments), allow us to vote for if we want them to be active or not, with simple majority. Alternatively, let us have a setting that we can tick on the mission selection screen for if it's allowed or not. If not allowed, then it should randomly select between the two warnings.

It's come up in chat so I thought I'd post it here. Make the Scout's Special Powder OC into a (tier 5?) mod. Special Powder really is a game-changer, and this change would enable everyone to have access to its awesome utility without the need to go through matrix core RNG.

A really good replacement OC would be something that makes the splash-damage shockwave of the boomstick much bigger, ideal for taking out swarmers.

Gel vines & gel fruits: The idea is I want pools of water and streams and those kinda fun mechanics but with destuctible terrain it would be hard to make work. So These gel plants, they are functionally very similar to water only they don't actively flow.

Some detail: picture during poceedural generation it lets mollasis flow fom a point and into a pool (winding out of a hole in the wall like sand blasts and vines. Maybe for a certain depth straight down its satuated and destroyed blocks become more gel. Then the players load and the molasis/gel is stagnent except for the satuated blocks. There's probably a visual effect like crusting (think lava and crust) on the edges. You could think of it as a river that simply flows on a different time scale.

Depending on how forgiving you want to be you might want to make dwarves boyant so they don't accidentaly down themselves and be sad. Or you could just have mission control scream at them to get back to the suface or special ejection boots to save the idiots ignoing the ox warnings. IDK, something or not.

I think they would make a cool enviomental element without becoming a major drag on proformance.

Replace the hammer with the pickaxe and use the backend when using the skull buster back blade (the hammer one). And while we're on it, let's flip the pickaxe around whenever we dig dirt or sandstone with the shovel looking back blades, and flip the pickaxe around for power attacks with the chasm-born cliffhanger axe and skullbuster rear! Maybe we can even use the gadgeteer's faveroute pickaxe end as a laser pointer/terrain scanner? and extend this to any other potentially useful back blades I'm not aware of?

burrowing spitballer while we are at it

stiff wing Apr 9, 2021, 8:56 AM

#

so many drilldozers get abandoned from escort duty...

what if the charge-suckers got a hold of them? they integrated into the circuits to the point where the parasite ends and the host begins becomes vague, to the point where it can only be considered one entity born from the merging of two.

it spawns along with the world map, in a little den quite a bit away from the main part of the map, and then begins its slow travel towards the dwarves, homing in on them.

could have some sort of spitballer-like enemies on them for projectile attacks, maybe some laser beams attached for shooting light at dwarves. could also carry a small swarm of enemies, maybe making the inside of the drilldozer some sort of weird, mobile nest.

travelling to the den would be a challenge due to an increased amount of enemies, but rewarded with dense oil shale (which would give a lot of credits and XP, like a half-sized bittergem). defeating the corrupted drilldozer would reveal the innards, giving the dwarves something. maybe a crafting material not found in the region you're in?

After you unlock every Perk, unused Perk Points are used as a bonus Experience modifier (so for example, 8 spare Perk Points translates to +8% Experience). It'd make working towards Perk Points once you've unlocked everything actually worthwhile.

Overclock idea: Cryo Maelstrom
rocknstone Significant Increase in Freezing Power
tothebone Less Ammo
No Damage
Delay in Pressurization

Designed to make the cryo cannon the sub zero ice machine intended, this overclock completely strips the cryo cannon of any mini iceshards formed during the spraying process to increase cryo power. A few downsides to pumping so much cryogenic fluid into the bugs are the lacking of ammo and delay to pressurize.

Edit for exacts:
Increase in cryo power would be +5
Ammo decreases by the same amount Ice Storm decreases ammo
Repressure delay is 2 seconds added

Alternate Solo Companion
(Search "MooseThoughts" for this and other ideas.)

Bosco is a fantastic companion, but what if you were able to assemble an updated BetC companion named TrayC from salvaged parts you found during missions?

TrayC consists of several parts that could be acquired randomly from missions either as a found item, or perhaps from Crates;
🦿 - Armored Legs X4
🗃️ - Adamant Chassis
⌨️ - Rock and Stone AI Chip
🧪 - Internal Hydraulics Regulator
rocknstone - Deep Rock Antenna
minigun - Dual Master Blaster Turret

TrayC can venture with you on solo Missions and provide a number of benefits that Bosco currently doesn't. Like Bosco however, several mods would be available to choose from to customize TrayC to your liking. Some ideas include;

Limited Extra Carry Space, allows you to store some materials inside TrayC that automatically unload when you deposit at a drop ship. (Inactive during Missions including a Molly, default passive.)
Improved Firepower, the Ai on TrayC is slightly better than the one on BetC making her more effective as a combat companion. Elemental Damage, Piercing Rounds, Armor Breaking Rounds, a variety of mods could be explored.
Ride TrayC to get to areas with difficult access. TrayC allows you to hop on and use your Laser Pointer to steer her to a specific spot. Movement speed is slower than usual due to being laden with Dwarf, but allows you to reach very difficult spots and mine while holding on. You will not be able to use your primary or secondary weapon while riding, and can be knocked off if attacked while riding.
TrayC can ordered to become stationary and set up like an engineer turret. There is a short period of setup similar to Engineer turrets that is automatic when ordered. Mods could affect things like range, aggressiveness, or be interesting like giving TrayC a Sunflare3099 Series Lamp which lights up the area while in Turret Mode.

Thanks for reading!

One thing I've been thinking is that there isn't really a great point to Elite deep dives, other than matrix core gain. From my perspective, it's just a deep dive but harder, without any extra benefits, and I feel like that could be changed without introducing anything game-changing. I'm not asking for more cores from the dive, mind you. I think something simple like a set, modest payout of extra credits and minerals related to that EDD's biome would be good enough. Alternatively, maybe the elite deep dive could add an extra percentage to your multiplier at the end, like hazard levels, complexity/length and mutations do, so the extra challenge would be more worth it in terms of credits/xp/minerals

-Context: wasn't certain on wether to make it into an overclock or a new weapon, as it’s a little similar to the grenade launcher for a weapon, yet it’s kinda far off from other overclocks, so it can really be implemented in either way.

New engineer secondary: The Acidspitter-V.8

-Function: long-term area denial

-Description: The Acidspitter launches acid canisters in arcs, spewing acid, and creating a long lasting acidic cloud. Acid is constantly emitted from canisters a short time after being launched. Canisters are stored in slots in a three round drum, drum must be cycled via a side trigger in between shots.

Basic idea of stats (totally up for change, I ain’t no balancing wizzard):
Base carried amount/max ammo: 5
Time until acid begins to be spewed: 1.5s
Duration: 20s
Friendly fire: 25%
Max Radius: 6m
Tick interval: 1s
Damage per tick: 15
Movement speed while inside cloud: -20%
Magazine size: 3
Reload: 0.5s + 0.5s per grenade missing
RoF per second: 1

-A few concepts for overclocks/upgrades:
Thermo-Conductive smoke: -10 damage per tick, -10s to duration, but smoke now ignited from most electric or fire damage, such as the stubby or flamethrower. When ignited, deals 200 damage.
Thick smoke: additional 20% movement speed reduction while inside cloud.
Enhanced Canisters: +20% velocity, canisters stick to surfaces, -1 damage per tick.
Plague Doctor: +2 to max ammo, +0.5 to RoF, -2 damage per tick.
C.O.B.R.A Compound: -2 to max ammo, +0.5s to reload per grenade missing, +25% to friendly fire, +10 damage per tick.

A professional concept art that totally wasn’t written on the back of my math homework: (sorry for the terrible drawing and handwriting, just wanted to make it easier to visualize. Pls no bully.)

I would like some pets in the pod bay. Could be bug related, but I think the community would respond well to cats, parrots, or dogs. The pet themselves could be bought through micro-transactions supporting the devs, once a given pet is bought it could enable unlockable stuff for them such as hats/toys through the forge to increase end-game content. Or pets in general can be end-game content, and maybe the current DLC mandate could throw in something for the pet as an extra incentive.

The idea for Bosco overclocks has been suggested and I want to put a few of my ideas down for what they could be. Given that Bosco could certainly use more diverse playstyle options, I see this as an exciting idea for solo missions. I am open to suggestions on how to tweak these ideas.

Mk. II Rockets

Clean Overclock

"RnD have enhanced the rockets of the APD without any determent to the drone's capability's, allowing each rocket to do slightly better damage, have a slightly larger AoE, and they now home in on marked targets."

Flying Lightbulb

Clean Overclock

(EDIT)
"By using an enhanced bulb and a more efficient power supply, the drone is able to light up the area around it at all times at roughly half the light radius of it's maximum. Additionally the maximum light radius has been increased by 10. Cave leaches be damned."

#

Bosco Overclock Ideas Continued

Neurotoxin Payload

Balanced Overclock

"Each rocket is packed with a neurotoxin that slows and deals damage over time to enemies in range of the blast and the AoE is slightly increased. The toxins leave less room for the explosive payload and are harder to manufacture, so direct damage and recharge rate will suffer a little.

Enhanced Utility Systems

Balanced Overclock

"For the lone Dwarf who want things done sooner than later, RnD has souped up Bosco's propulsion systems for a much faster drone. In addition to increased speed, the drone now also mines noticeably faster. The downside is a slight reduction in fire rate and a slightly longer recharge rate for rockets.

#

Bosco Overclock Ideas Continued

Weapons Systems Overhaul

Unstable Overclock

"By installing heavier guns and larger caliber rounds, the drone's damage output has been doubled and the rounds can more easily shatter armor. The downsides being that the drone moves noticeably slower and loses space for one of its revive kits."

Medic Drone

Unstable Overclock

"When one's survival is in question, these adjustments could be the difference between dying alone or living to mine another day. When a miner is downed, the drone is much faster to come to aid, and is able to revive a downed dwarf significantly faster. The drone administers a special coagulant that restores more health than normal and significantly reduces incoming damage for several seconds. The special equipment added however is rather detrimental to the rocket system, as the total stored amount of rockets is reduced by 1 and regeneration is significantly slower.

idea to make mini mules useful, have them passively pick up resources (not big ones I.E. jadiz, pearls, gunk seeds, etc) and hold onto them. the dwarves can then extract the resources from them by interacting so that they can be deposited into the MULE proper. (extraction could mean either going directly into the inventory or blasting out like a loot bug, either way it makes them better then before)

OCs for the Deepcore GK2:
-"Chain Reaction"-decreased damage, damage increases for each consecutive weakpoint hit up to a maximum(resets on miss)
-"Hyperburst"-fires a 3-round burst at an increasd rate of fire within the burst, but has a delay between bursts. Also reduces magazine capacity to 24/33 to make it a multiple of 3.

instead of gunners zip line he can play monkey bars that you can swing on. it would have 2 different play styles where monkey bars can make you move faster but it has to be by the wall.

engineers instead of platforms has a trampoline. so engi can an option for a way to move in caves much easier that are vertial.

scouts instead of a grappling hook its climbing claws.

and drillers can shoot a drill out that would mine in a straight line.

I think it could be nice if the mini mules and doretta's head were less "talkative" : add a timer for the noises of those entities especially for mini mules. Their beep might be cute but it happens every time they sit and rise and because they tend to bug we sometimes have an entire symphony of electronic noises. For doretta's head it happens when you pick it and throw it. Because there is no timer you hear her screams a lot.

My friend Nathan and I were talking about how annoying Molly is. The issue isn't that it gets in the way as the Dwarves' voicelines imply, but that it's so slow and takes forever to get anywhere. That, and it tends to stay in one place when you want it to follow and move when you want it to stay. We should be able to upgrade Molly like we can Bosco, with choices such as brighter lights, faster walking, a stay command, etc. One idea is that you can get an option to swap Molly out for two Mini-MULEs. It doesn't make sense that the ill-fated employees on the Mini-MULE collection mission got to use them and that there are 3 orange mini-MULEs in the Space Rig near the Deep Dive terminal, but we the players don't get to use them. Mini-MULEs would solve the problem of two Dwarves fighting over Molly by spamming the C key. Obviously there has to be some downside or trade-off involved with the Mini-MULEs so they don't completely replace regular Molly. I think we should be able to paint and apply skins/models to our MULEs and Mini-MULEs just like with Bosco, seeing as Molly is orange and the Mini-MULES are green in-game but on the Space Rig there are a blue MULE and three orange Mini-MULEs. The MULE Customization Terminal can go near the current pile of MULEs and the Deep Dive Terminal, especially as there isn't much on that side of the Space Rig to do or see.

TL;DR MULE upgrades and colors, and the use of Mini-MULEs

When pressing reload with the cryo cannon, instead of just throwing it up in the air a little bit the driller could flip open a hatch and take out a snow ball that could be thrown when you release the reload button. This would be purely for shits and giggles but who knows, maybe some people will finally pay attention when a snowball is thrown in there face after hours of them completely ignoring you.

At least, I'd like to equip a nice mane in addition https://i.gyazo.com/a5166aa16c0bf386088b7c0709c18342.jpg . I don't see why we have to have either hair, or a hat. For some of the hats it makes sense, since they cover the whole head, but for others... It just feels too restrictive.

Random Space Events
(Search "MooseThoughts" for this and other ideas.)

It would be comical if when you're sitting around inside the ship there is a very small chance that the occasional Glyphid Grunt or Loot Bug was seen floating in space in your field of vision, or if it bounced off the glass with a cartoonish thump sound effect. Even better would be if the loot bug popped and sprayed minerals in all directions while you watched them sail off into the void. No need to explain why lore wise, it would just be for the sake of silliness.

(Add-on to this idea, would be neat if there was also a very small chance when you drink Blacklock Lager to see a Ghost Ship sail by outside, as is the Studios Namesake. :pirate_flag: )

Thanks for reading!

New Mutator Warning: No Atmosphere

Greetings,
Idea for a new Mutator Warning. ‘No Atmosphere’ warning adds the fear of space and darkness to any level. First, you have to be wearing a helmet. This is no normal helmet, but an astronaut grade helmet. This means reduced visibility and no customization. A default developer themed helmet would be ideal. Not too terrible right? Yeah I’d think that too if it wasn’t for flares being disabled. They don’t quite work when there is no air, so that means they stay on the ship along with the O2 canisters. Helmets have been fitted with special lighting so you can see a little bit better than with your normal headlamp, but still very limited visibility. Thank you for your time!

A melee class who would be the first female dwarf of the roster, christened as "the Breaker".

Main weapon: Auto shotgun / Rapid fire nailgun
Secondary weapon: Chainsaw / Rocket axe
Mobility tool: Rocket-propelled jump
Equipment: Heal bomb (throwable that produces a healing field)
Grenades: Lock-On missile (homes in on the nearest target), shrapnel bomb (throws shrapnel to make enemies bleed and pierce armor, no effect on oppressors and dreadnaughts), fear bomb (induces fear)

The Breaker is similar to the Scout in the sense of being highly mobile and able to go pretty much anywhere, but she opts for getting right in the Glyphids' faces and tearing them to shreds in a flash with her shotty and chainsaw. She can leap wherever she likes and crash down with thunderous fury. As such, she has innate friendly fire protection so that she doesn't have to worry about getting pockmarked by friendlies trying to assist her (subject to change).

Drillers flamethrower:
The flames only deal damage while you are holding down the fire button. Flames that have been released will deal no damage when it hits something if you released the fire button before it hits. This makes it so that you have to continuously spend ammo to make sure that the flames deal damage when they land.
I'm suggesting a change to make the flames deal its damage without holding the trigger down.

The minigun and the autocannon are excellents but the gunner is not too advantaged in close combat for my opinion because the 2 weapons take a long time to fire and cause a slowdown while we shooting especially on certain maps where the range is not essential...and why not a missile launcher too?

Hi fellow miners!
I really think we need some kind of cure mechanic in the game in addition to red sugar in the maps and the resupply.
Red sugar drops in the maps are not a consistent way to keep you alive and using a resupply only for health is often a waste.
Also during a fight it's not that easy to mine red sugar and without "Sweet Tooth" most of the time it won't max your health.
I have 2 ideas on how to improve this:

An health item that you carry and resupply like the other resources (could be something like a red sugar snack).
The possibility of stocking red sugar when you mine it and use it later when need it (this could also be an active perk).
Thank you!

Player Commendations
(Search "MooseThoughts" for this and other ideas.)

The nature of this game is built upon the foundations of cooperation and teamwork, so why not build a system which allows for players to "commend" another player for a well played match? Positive commendations only, no negatives. This encourages players to be the best version of themselves in their games and can lead to rewards down the line, plus a hopefully smoother experience for players of all walks.

The Management can call it whatever they would like, Service Stars 🌟 for instance.

The mechanics for it would be;

Unique, one Account can only commend another Account once per day to prevent people from spamming them together to farm commendations. You can commend as many unique accounts as you want overall as long as it's not the same one you already did.
This is account based, not class based.
This is publicly visible inside your room in the ship.
Can be tied to achievements, or acts as an unlock for in game shop items and cosmetics.

Larger base spread

With lots a tweaking and a bit of toying with weight, we managed to increase the size of the magazine more for the Thunderhead and increase the firerate to dump more ammo into the ugly buggers. A downside is the longer reload and more spread

For: Deepcore PGL

rocknstone Each grenade, when it explodes, sends out 6 shrapnel shards that acts similarly to ejector cactus spikes, but do a third of the damage. Each frag isn't hitscan however
+40 Direct Damage
tothebone -5 base ammo
-.5 AoE
-10 Area Damage

The grenades now explode violently, sending out their shell. They are clunkier to carry, and reduce a bit if HE compound and effective AoE

#

Overclock (Unstable): Explosive Bullets
For: Lead Storm Powered Minigun

rocknstone Each bullet creates a small explosion on impact. (.5 AoE)
tothebone -2 Direct Damage
-400 ammo

You wanted more explosives, RnD will give you more explosives. We took the minigun ammo and filled each bullet with HE compound. This reduces direct damage by a bit, and the ammo is heavier, but miniature explosions will shred through the bugs like butter.

(long post ahead)

So what if in different biomes the glyphs have different skin colors and skin types?

Say for: (Salt pits) They have a dark red shell and maybe some poky bits covering them in spots or stain of salt on them, and maybe a light pink underbelly.

(Radioactive exclusion zone) Dark green shell and maybe bits of crystal sting out, Or maybe a green and gray mix to the shell and yet still a basic graish underbelly.

(Sandblasted corridors) Very yellow and orange upper shell body, but smooth/wavy like the shell showing wear and tear from being blasted by the winds. Plus a very rough underbelly that dark/light orange or in other words patchy.

These are just some basic thoughts that come to my mind but. They're still the same basic great bug to shoot. just more flavor and detail to life on hoxxes and the glyphs themself.

Also the devs could make new anomalies/warnings. Where the different types of glyphs are now fighting over ground. Give a reason to add large waves as well as seen the bugs fight each other and fight you at the same time. ( just again for flavor )

Weapon idea: swarm missile launcher

rapidly shoots swarms of micro-rockets for high dps in a small area medium range, although they'd have a lengthy travel time and very small explosion, and detonate after a second. Rockets could also whistle as they fly. because that's cool

upgrades:

1st tier: stronger propellant (faster projectile speed) efficient propellant (longer rocket lifespan) increased payload (more damage)

2nd tier: extended silo (more magazine capacity) lighter rockets (more max ammo) frag rockets (larger explosive radius)

3rd tier: implosive compound (stun chance) pressure wave (armor breaking) loud whistler (fear factor)

4th tier: extended fins (more stable flight pattern) proximity detonator (proximity detonation. mainly for mactera) rail launcher (greatly incresed rocket speed)

5th tier: guided rockets (rockets will turn towards the closest target, and prioritize marked bugs.) Uranium addative (radiation damage and small fallout)

unique overclocks:
drill heads(unstable): missiles can burrow through terrain and deal direct damage, although this reduces fire rate, blast radius, and greatly reduces max ammo

beltfed rockets(balanced)
removes reloading and replaces it with overheat.

stagger-fire bipass(clean) fire the entire silo at once! (like double shot for broomstick)

micro minelets (unstable): switches out the rockets with proximity mines which detonate automatically after 3 seconds. however they aren't sticky mines so watch out! increases ammo, magazine size, and reduces friendly fire damage slightly, but reduces projectile speed and your mines could bounce back into your face.

micro rockets: (balanced) greatly increases ammo capacity and magazine size. reduces damage and rocket lifespan

toxic fuel (clean): makes rockets leave a poison trail.

big rockets: greatly increases damage, blast radius. greatly reduces magazine capacity, max ammo, fire rate, and slightly reduces projectile speed.

Currently you can ping the wall next to a buried item - enor pearl, jadiz, aquarq, compressed gold, bittergem or error cube - and Bosco will go and mine it, so the game is obviously able to detect pinging buried items. However, if you don't have Bosco and ping the wall, your dwarf just gives the generic "look here!" bark rather than a specific "I found a Jadiz!" or "We're rich!" or whatever.

I think this should be changed so the dwarf will use the appropriate voice line on pinging buried materials.

A new core infusion event, featuring a new kind of glyphid that looks like some kind of giant grasshopper. They crawl along walls but can also fly through the air to relocate, similar to fester fleas. They need to be hit by special chemical grenades dispensed by the same structure used to start the event, which will knock them unconscious, so that they can be brought back to and deposited in the structure, which will later be extracted to the space rig for study of the live specimens. An achievement could also be added for hitting one of the targets with a tranquilizer ball while it's flying.

Moving on from that, it would really just be interesting to see an actual dangerous enemy that exhibits similar characteristics to the fester flea, where it'll crawl on the ground, or fly to relocate.

(even 2 or more) a really big goldy mactera or a new glyphid menace very interested in minerals that could stalk us all over hoxxes, he would have a chance to spawn which increases as dwarves have a lot of minerals stay long in the caves depending on the time of day and the mission location on hoxxes, there would of course be a warning on the hoxx mission map that it may appear as well as a characteristic cry or noise during the mission to prevent it might happen. The goal is not to add a very dangerous enemy, but above all an enemy that is very difficult to kill and embarrassing which will add tension, in particular to the evacuation

Unstable overclock for the Deepcore PGL : Cluster Bombs

projectiles split into (3) smaller fragments, allowing damage to spread over a larger area

decrease in projectile speed (-30%)
"R&D came up with a new kind of projectile that splits into small cluster bombs which should wipe the floor with large swarms even better, however the addition of the splitting mechanism means they had to sacrifice a part of the projectile's propellant to fit it all in"

I think this would allow Engineers to better deal with large swarms at the cost of reducing the PGL to a shorter range and spreading the Deepcore's damage over a much larger area

While I understand that this is still a little out, I was playing an Elite Threat mission on the Experimental branch today. Haz 3, they've hyped up these elite bugs, didn't want to just get bodied immediately without knowing what I was getting into.

However, this felt NO different from a normal elimination mission. Beat 2 dreadnoughts, 1 was a basic one, 1 twins. Grabbed a steeve guard, never really felt like I was in any danger. Glacial strata, never froze, all in all a normal mission.

My point being, if these are going to be difficult bugs to kill, then make them harder. Or, alternatively, make them distinct. I could have theoretically just inadvertently avoided every single one of the elite bugs in the mission, as it was elite threat and some are guaranteed to have spawned, although I did fight every bug I saw.

Alternate traversal tool for Gunner: Pickaxe Catapult. A line, once fired from a rifle-like device, adheres to cave floors and walls. This line has a mechanism to interface with a dwarf's pickaxe, in order to pull that dwarf vertically at great speed, or across a plane more quickly than running. Can be used on inclines to yeet dwarves across chasms.

Throughout the map, several small unbreakable resource nodes require heavy machinery to extract.
The dwarves must lay rails for the machinery to run along, preferably taking it past other resources which the machine will quickly extract for the team.
They then start the Heavy Equipment running along the rails, with only one opportunity to make it work.
Perhaps the machine is fragile, requiring an escort from the dwarves.
Yes, I like rails.

These are the strengths of cryo cannon prior to this experimental:

-Biggest direct damage multiplier (×300%).
-Instakills all flying enemies even Breeders. Usually much faster and more efficient than damage.
-Instakills swarmers.
-Procs incredibly fast with freeze builds.
-Tons of ammo and more total damage than CRISPR.
-Stops every harmful death effect.
-Only total slowdown.
-Only CC that stops enemies from attacking.
-Amor ignoring.
-Works on Dreads but fire does not.
-Damage multiplier also gives teammates effectively ×3 ammo conservation on frozen enemies.

As of experimental, 0 of these have been altered meaningfully. Cryo cannon remaining this ludicrously strong against everything difficult after the major balance update would be immensely disappointing.

Please attempt to significantly alter some of the strengths listed (which ones are up to discussion) so that cryo doesn't hard counter most challenges anymore.

I have a few very ungathered thoughts,

have fire reduce max health through armor since cryo negates armor all around having fire be as viable would be nice.

make poison act like a special trait negation like flying enemies are forced to slow down or slicer bugs have reduced damage, maybe have the glow bug ass get enlarged for big bugs as they are trying to rid their bodies of the poison maybe granting additional damage?

have zapped enemies be magnetized and have shots fired near them collect into them (maybe have them gain damage or piercing with some auto tracking shots?

Overclock (Unstable): Un-depleted Uranium
For: Lead Storm Powered Minigun

rocknstone Fire out bullets that cause the radiation status for 5 seconds to any target the bullets hit
tothebone -1 Direct Damage
You take 50% more damage while firing. Radiation isn't forgiving to the dwarven body.

While getting high at the Abyss Bar, the geniuses at RnD decided not to use Depleted Uranium for the minigun's bullets to see how they fared in combat, and surprise, they worked. Of course it hits a bit softer and you take more damage but radiation is so sweet

Overclock Idea (Unstable): Synconized Beams

By attaching new technology to the Breach Cutter and the beam it fires, RnD has managed to sync the movements of the Breach Cutter (Mainly you just moving with the Breach Cutter equipped) and the beams. The bulky technology does however affect the magazine and ammo capacity.

My husband and I love your game. My husband is a miner in real life and he says that the atmosphere of the game is very real. Thank you for that.
We are one of those people who love to farm and grind more than shoot. Maybe you will like our idea to introduce unique super rare trophies into the game that could be placed in a special trophy room. Or at least get achievements for them. For example, it can be fossils, gems, or very rare trophy heads of special monsters. For people like us, this would make the game just perfect. Many thanks.

with the introduction of "Double Warnings," is there discussion of 2 of the same hazard?
ex.
"Double Low Oxygen": oxygen depletes faster
"Double Haunted Cave": 2-4 anomalies (could be semi-random in size)
"Double Exploder Infestation!": more exploders obviously, but maybe 1-2 guaranteed Glyphid Bulk Detonators.
wouldn't work for shield disrupt but all the others could potentially.

Add a fall damage reduction effect to RJCompund rather than a reload speed bonus. The problem with it isn't the reload speed, but rather the self-damage & that Engineer as a class doesn't have a good fallback in case something doesn't go as planned (which happens frequently since the rocket jumping has very unreliable results). Platforms can be a good way to catch you, yes, but since it takes a few moments for them to deploy before they start reducing fall damage they aren't a reliable solution either. If it added a fall damage reduction effect to you (or any other players that were hit) until you land it'd be much more forgiving and worth using as a result.

New Mission-Modifier Warning Ideas:

Mufflestone: The stone of these caverns contains a unique alloy that suppresses sounds within the cave network. All sound effects (whether coming from dwarves, equipment, or bugs) are suppressed by a certain percent (maybe 40%?). Swarms have a better shot at sneaking up on you when you can't hear them.

on the flip side...
Echostone: The microscopic structure of the cavern walls reverberates pressure waves in the air with low degradation. Sound effects (whether coming from dwarves, equipment, or bugs) echo long distances through the cave network, making it hard to pinpoint from which direction the threats are approaching as well as how far away they actually are.

A Raid-like Mission/Event:

At the start of Eliminations, Mission Control sometimes mentions something along the lines of "destroy it before it turns into something worse"

Idea: have the Dwarves fight through a Glyphid-Nest in order to get to and destroy said "worse thing".
Have it be a much larger cave, either a tad more linear in progression or in a round pattern around the center with enemies getting progressively harder as you approach the destination (Swarmers, Grunts, Praetorians and so on/more and more elites) with some sort of big boi boss or big cluster of minerals (or both) at the center of it all.

Would probably be better as a weekly thing like the Deep Dives or maybe even bi-weekly
(I personally would enjoy Missions of Deep-Dive-Length, but more focused on a single Objective in a single cave rather than normal missions stitched together, although I do understand that there may be issues with how big of a map the game can handle)

(Alternatively, the Glyphid Nest would make a great Biome (or sub-biome) to walk through while regretting every single one of your life choices)
edit: I have been informed, that the Nest has been frequently requested, so let's just scratch that and put the focus on the kind of mission

Small DPS buff (25)

It's amazing what RnD can do when they really crack down. By altering the way the Breach Cutter beam is launched out, it can go vertically. As a bonus it can squeeze a bit more DPS out of each beam.

(By vertical, I mean it fires out a straight line in front of the breach cutter)

A new type of grenade: "Black Hole"
Doesn't deal any damage but, like a black hole pulls to the center of the grenade's explosion all the enemies in a wide area, packing them tightly in a group, very useful against huge hordes.
Has a short to medium duration and a timer to trigger, affects Dwarves as well.
Most suitable class: Engineer
Doesn't pull Detonators and Oppressors but it slows them down, has no effects on Dreadnoughts.
Has weaker pull force against Praetorians

"The researchers in R&D are very proud of this one, studying the black holes function in depth they have managed to create a grenade that, when triggered, compresses mass by an immense amount of times, creating mini black holes with a strong gravitational pull in a small area. Warning: Keep away from teammates!"

Instead of bullet sponge Elites I suggest creating a new tier of tough mobs between Oppressor and Dreadnaught. A tough, fast and Crab-like creature with fairly longe range claw attacks and an armored weak spot placed near the front. Since it has long range arms, and is quicker than other large creatures, it introduces a new challenge rather than just an old enemy with bloated stats.

Something to Replace the HE Grenade
I think that the HE grenade doesn't need a buff. I think it's a relic of drg Drillers past and everything it has to offer is done better by many other parts of drillers kit and I think it is great chance to give him something really really fun and more utility focused and this isn't done by anyone else and fits his kit really well. He's got more than enough explosive stuff and damage isn't needed much either

What about some kind of oil grenade we could use to cover a bunch of terrain. Imagine this. You could make big oil traps that slow enemies and stick to the terrain be it walls or ceiling or even give it flow. If you hit it with cryo damage it becomes an ice surface you can slide on and does cold damage (ie the temp not the damage) flash freezes little enemies and big enemies will get cold but instead of an instant freeze they get stuck in place in the ice.

For fire you could set up oil traps you light up whenever it gets a spark that and acts like some kind of sticky fire or turns the ground into hot rocks the enemies try to avoid. The oil stuff could stay on the ground for a relatively long time and it has good synergy with both cryo and fire and teamates and has terrain manipulation ability. Imagine making ice slides down tunnels or make return trips back and forth quicker on central extraction by turning hills into ice slides.

New edit 4/16
And something something really cool with fire that I can't think of personally but a dm with a suggest cool real work interaction that fire has with the environment around it like an updraft that can (within the current game physics wall back gravity a bit above the fire or act like a steam vent of sorts would help me flesh it out a bit, since fire and ice dont mirror each other at all in terms of physics, fire and ice can be made different enough to not interfere with each other and be balanced easier

I dont always have good ideas but I think this one is a winner. What's the hardest mode in the game? Hazard 5? Wrong. Its actually No HUD. No HUD is awesome, it really is a different experience and 500 hours in its totally reinvigorated my love of the game. I love the subtle indicators on your gear and most importantly of all it's made me appreciate the voice line queues for certain things like full pockets or when objectives are complete. I was thinking it would be cool if No HUD was made a little more canonical. My main idea was to have some voice lines that only are said when your dwarf has his HUD off to reward the player a little bit for the additional challenge. I was even thinking you could just have the dwarves experience a little "soft fascination" when they have their HUD off, lines about soaking in the scenery. Or stuff like "Seems like a lot more bugs with the HUD off".if voice lines were added hopefully would even encourage more people to try No HUD.

Give chain hit to G2k instead of Bulldog, it cannot compete with magic bullet because of the fact that it is a low mag/slow firing rate weapon makes it unreliable to hit weakspots successively, if you don't proc on your first shot you're screwed and would've been better off with MB. I think it would make for a decent alternative to blowtrough for the G2k since it's not an option on it, chain hit could either be a mod or OC not sure which would be better for balancing purposes, toned-down to around 10-20%

So I see deep dives as incredible similar to mythic dungeons in WoW. Add an ever increasing number that increases the health and difficulty of the enemies (i.e deep dive 10 is harder than a deep dive 5). At certain numbers add more affixes (i.e at deep dive 10 have two modulators and at 15 have 3). Then slap a timer on it so inorder to progress to the next deep dive level you have to beat the timer. Then give awards and cosmetics at the end of the season for whatever deep dive level you achieved.

It phases into reality as it’s cloak fails, and it’s humanoid in looks. It’s damaged but it’s the cleanest robot in the game, and the most advanced. Once you kill it gets teleported away, and the Elven Mission Control gives the crew money so that they don’t talk about this outside of Hoxxes.

The Cryocannon and Cryo Grenades are still comfortably better than the alternatives, and I'm convinced that the problem is with the "frozen" status effect itself.

Overclock (Unstable) Thicker Beams
For: Breach Cutter

Positives: Massive increase in damage (+250 beam DPS)
Negatives:
-12 ammo
Less beam runtime
+1 second reload time

RnD souped up the Breach Cutter to the extreme, making it have massive damage increase. They nearly compromised all systems, and the beams are heavier, meaning less carried and longer reload, and they use more power t generate more damage, meaning less run time in the air.

Here are my thoughts on new throwables for the classes in DRG. I have two ideas for each class. While the thought of new support/mobility tools for the classes sounds exciting, (I like the idea of a portal gun for Scout and a dwarf-operated turret for engi) I think new throwables are the best way to add new utility and fun for the classes while not ruining the existing team play. :)

---Scout---
New Mobility Options!

-Speedball Sprinkler: (2-4 count)

A ball that is actually thrown underhand like a bowling ball. Upon hitting the ground, the ball will sprinkle blue ink on the ground from both sides of it. This will leave a long trail of ink which grants a substantial speed boost to both dwarves AND enemies. Perhaps enemies will also gain a 10-15% damage weakness also. The ink could also be slippery like the dark ice in Glacial Strata. The ink stays forever, allowing for lots of uses to speed up completing the objective and also while extracting at the end of the mission.

While holding down the grenade key/button, a horizontal line and cursor will appear on screen. The cursor will bounce back and forth between both ends of the line. When a player releases the grenade key while the cursor is in the middle of the line, the Speedball with roll straight forward. Releasing the cursor along the edges of the line will cause the Speedball to "spin" and give the ball a curved trajectory. This allows scout to coat say, a curved tunnel with the blue ink.

At the end of the Speedball's max distance, the ball will create a small explosion that damages enemies. If it kills an enemy, Scout will shout "Strike!". :)

#

-Portable Teleport: (6-8 count)

This throwable will stick to surfaces. After a 2 or so second readying period, Scout can press the grenade key again to instantly teleport to the location of the grenade. After teleporting, all negative status affects and all momentum is negated. Perhaps the grenade only lasts for like 30 seconds to a minute or so. A counter will appear on the right side of the screen to show how much time is left, similar to other abilities.

Useful for completing objectives faster, avoiding enemies, and negating fall damage. Gives the scout another tool for avoiding fall damage to compete with Special Powder, Hoverclock, Hoverboots, and the fall damage reduction upgrade for the grapple gun. This allows for more diverse loadouts because most scouts wouldn't be caught dead without at least one of the above.

---Engineer---
Can't decide between the first two. They have similar uses.

-Nanobot Cloud: (4 count)

A "cloud" of nanobots is created by the grenade. They have a chance to inflict electrical damage to enemies within the cloud. Any object that is buildable or repairable will be slowly built/fixed while within the cloud. The cloud will always have enough time to build sentries; other objects might take more work. While the Nanobots should be somewhat underwhelming as a combat grenade, the flexibility and utility should make it a good choice. Could also work as an overclock for the PGL.

-Builders Beetle/Builders Drone: (6 count)

The engi throws a small clockwork beetle/generic drone that has a generous auto aim for finding a target. The drone can attack medium to large enemies, sticking to them while stunning and shocking the target. Any object that is buildable or repairable will be slowly built/fixed while the drone is attached. The drone will always have enough time to build sentries; other objects might take more work.

#

-Dwarf Repellent: (4 count)

A vile light-green goo that metaphysically repeals the dwarven form. Only RnD knows what it's actually made out of; but if you dare sniff it, it smells a bit like spoiled Leaf Lover's Special...

The canister will break upon hitting the ground, coating a small area with goo. The goo acts like a springboard/bounce pad. Momentum is carried after a jump, creating a massive amount of potential trajectories. The goo negates fall damage when bouncing on it, but it doesn't grant fall damage protection after a jump from it. It would become good practice to place a foam platform next to the repellent as a way to break the fall. Can be used in tandem with the Speedball for some sick jumps!

The goo lasts forever but will dissolve eventually when stepped on by bugs. Bugs will be slowed while moving through it; allowing for some more direct combat applications. If the engi wants to all but guarantee that the goo lasts forever, he should place repellent foam platforms around or under the goo.

---Driller---

-TCF Container: (4-6 count)

Essentially the EPC's thin containment field's upgrade in throwable form. Has a nice wide arc for long distance throwing. Ok for crowd control. Let's the driller use loadouts without TCF while having a backup option for emergency mining.

-Atlatl: (4 count)

A primitive device used to chuck spears long distances. Great for killing mammoths and other megafauna. Look it up if you don't know what it is!

Comparable to the Throwing Axes; counts as melee damage and can be reclaimed if a shot misses. A wide arc let's it be accurate over long distances. Does a tremendous amount of damage, but has no area damage and has a low amount of ammo.

Spears are large things. I imagine the spears that the Atlatl uses expand in a telescopic way when readied.

I would love to hear the dwarves shout "ADDLE ADDLE!" when using or pinging the spears.

#

---Gunner---

-Julian Fireworks: (2 count)

Named after Julius Caesar, who issued the Julian Calendar and is the namesake of the month of July. Hence, Fourth of July. Would be another example of Roman names/words in the game, along with Crassus and praetorian.

After a short distance, the throwable will self-right itself and shoot itself directly upward. A massive fireworks display will ensue for about 5 seconds or so. Only the largest of caves won't become fully lit during the display. Great for scouting minerals in a large cave. All mactera caught in the fireworks would instantly die. Enemies close to the explosions on the ceiling and walls would receive some damage.

However, the largest effect would be the massive amount of fear generated in a large area around the display. This would fit the gunner's role well in beating back swarms and giving his teammates a breather like the portable shield does.

If the projectile hits a ceiling before it naturally explodes, the effect would be reduced.

The idea of fireworks and fear could also work as unstable overclocks for the PGL and/or the boomstick.

-Infra-fear Drivers: (4-6 count)

Ultra low-frequency sound emitters that scare off and prevent glyphids from entering within a radius around the Driver. More or less functions as a poor man's portable shield without the ability to block projectiles and recharge personal shields. Creates a small amount of fear in large radius around the Driver also; nothing compared to the fireworks, however. Sticks to surfaces.

Players within the fear are still vulnerable to ranged enemies and pill bugs, etc.

Based off the phenomenon of low-frequency infrasound creating cases of perceived ghost sightings and feelings of dread.

I don't play scout, sure i got him to gold but i dont like playing him, it's just not my playstyle.
However, after some 800 hours, i agree with the sentiment that the scout is not very good right now
He is a precision shooter with high mobility on a horde shooter game and most of the classes all have options for high single target damage and crowd control, leaving him, in my opinion, as just the nitra slave and the guy with flares.
Now, it's easy to complain about a problem and not offer a solution, so i'm going to try and do my part and offer a few suggestions and additions that i think would make the scout a more valuable addition to the team while keeping him in theme of being a Scout.

Scout New Passive: Analysis Drone
Scout receive a mini bosco that does not leave his side (and make distressed bosco noises when the scout is down)
The Analysis drone will passively attempt to scan enemies within line of sight of the scout and in a certain light threshhold
The scan takes about 1 second and it will always prioritize enemies with more hp, once it starts scanning it won't stop scanning the target so it doesn't spazz out when a praetorian enters the effective range and then leaves.
after scanning the enemy, the drone will reveal to the scout, and to the scout only, a hidden weakspot in the form of a glowing red spot.
It acts as a normal weakspot for all intents and purposes.
Optional: The Analysis Drone is equipped with a single barrel low damage gun (like a subata with no mods and low firerate) that he will use to shoot the last target the scout shot with a 0.5s delay from the scout shooting it. It deals increased weakspot damage and will prioritize revealed weakspots

More in 5 minutes because of discord message size limit

#

Priority Target:
Whenever a scout pings a enemy, the drone will then scan it, this scan takes longer than a normal passive scan but it reveals the weakspot to the entire team and it's in effect as long as the enemy is marked by the laser pointer.

This suggestion is based on the scout default AR visor he has and his name, Scout so he scouts and reveal weaknesses.

Other Suggestions:

Scouting Toolkit:
As a additional tool for the scout, he receives a pack of tools that lets him place certain deployables to help the team while still keeping in theme with his scouting. It has a limited number of charges that can be resupplied

Proximity Scanner:
A small deployable rod with a sensor that automatically scans enemies that pass through it's area, i imagined something like the area of a blackbox before it's built maybe smaller, and pings large enemies like praetorians and detonators. It gives off a warning beep whenever something passes, the beep becomes more dire the bigger the thing passing through is. The scan lasts about 5 seconds and the Scanner stops working after a minute or 2
Long Duration Flare:
It's like a normal scout flare but with a increased payload that makes it unfit to shoot from the flare gun, the scout has to place it and hammer it in place like a engineer turret. Once placed it can't be removed or turned off and it will burn for 2 minutes
Mineral Scanner:
Not a deployable but rather a tool that consumes a charge from the toolkit to use (like a battery or something), allows the scout to send a sonar like signal tuned to a certain mineral which will ping back to the scout revealing their locations for a brief moment. Select the tool and press R to cycle through minerals your team has on the depository, only works on minerals.

#

Scout Proficiency:
he can do objectives that need interaction faster.

I based these suggestions on the Scout AR visor and his role as a Scout, meaning he scouts, he lights up the cave, spot enemies and reveal weakspots on the big ones for his whole team and himself since his weapons are precision weapons and all around making him more usefull for swarm combat and giving himself more firepower when alone.
Still doesn't solve the problem of being a precision shooter in a horde game but it's emphasizes his role in combat
Also add blowthrough rounds to the Deep Core as a option

Talked about this in discussion but thought i'd move it over here, Shaped Shells for the Scout Shotgun are still not very good, I propose the below alteration:
Shaped shells:
+30% weakpoint damage
+60% less spread
-1 shot magazine size (brings shell count down to 1, you need to reload after every shot)

This would turn the shotgun into a blunderbuss of sorts, a mid ranged skirmishing weapon, perfect for taking out single targets and ripping into bug butts

Few suggestions from me (cosmetic only though):
-Give us the Megacorp paint job either included to said dlc or as another thing + Megacorp bosco maybe? (the weapon and pickaxe paint jobs stand out so much that they barely fit to anything but they look so sick)
-Give us an option to paint the Dawn of the dread alien parts but only let it be optional.
-Let us preview armors with currently equipped paintjob on for free but keep the item locked till purchase.
-Scale brigade weapon paintjob perhaps so we could use it on different frameworks?
-More skin tones like Silver, Metal, Diamond, Full on black or Full on white, full on red to fit the halloween mask we got, same with hair colour, just give us more options, it saddens me i cant fit my skin colour for example to the dawn of the dread armor or that i cant be a living statue other than a gold one.
This one is a bit of a stretch: Maybe let us paint hat and clothing separately and allow us to use paintjobs from one class on another? I mean, why cant a gunner be whole blue, scout be completely yellow and red, engineer be green and driller red? Its a simple thing but it would open new possibilities for us to customize our dwarfs with

Not sure if this is intended to make bigger mineral bag more appealing. Base bag size is 40 but the way minerals are collected you always cap at 39 unless you find a very small chunk to round up at exactly 40 (don't think this ever happens), with 2 supply runs you end up with 78 so you need to make an extra trip to collect 2 nitra when you technically wouldn't need to. Not a big issue in team scenarios where everyone can collect nitra but it's noticable in solo Refinery/PE.
If we shouldn't be able to call a ressup with 2 full bags, make it display 39 on the arsenal and make sure we can't get 40 so players aren't tricked into thinking they can. Otherwise make it easier to round up at 40, either by walking over bigger chunks or perhaps make it 41 in the files but keep displaying 40 on the arsenal.

For: Wharthog Shotgun

Positives:

Negatives:

Special shaped pellets allow them to passthrough multiple enemies, but drastically reduce damage and have slightly larger base spread, and they can't break armor.

To better differentiate Carpet Bomber from Splintering Shells, make Carpet Bomber fire slow shots that arc in flight, so the AC acts more like an automatic grenade launcher. This would let you give Carpet Bomber a disadvantage - short effective range - that is very different from every other overclock, so it would feel different. If you want splash damage at long range, you still have Splintering Shells.

For: Deepcore PGL

rocknstone Each grenade is loaded with acid. (Lasts for 15 seconds, does 20 damage per tick)
Larger AoE (+1.5)

Longer reload time (+.5 seconds)

RnD took the acid spitter bile and stuffed it right into the PGLs grenades! While they don't hit as hard they do mad acid damage, and the AoE is larger. And since these rounds are quite volatile, it's best to take it a bit slower on the reload. (Management is not liable for any damage caused by reckless usage of weapons)

Sentry Turret (and possibly other Support Tool) Skins

So I've searched and I found people suggesting Sentry Skins but not here at the Suggestions channel, so I am here to suggest just that, the ability to have Sentry Turret Skins. I know this might prompt the notion of Engineer special treatment and maybe people asking "Why not the Flare Gun/Satchel Charge/Shield Generator as well?" and yeah those could have skins too. Really I'd be happy even if the Turrets didn't outright have skins but are recolored the same color as your Engineer armor's selected color. Maybe it's just me but when my Engineer is sporting that fancy 3 year anniversary armor with the shiny gold embellishments, and my guns are also gleaming, I find it sad to see my Turrets still looking like, well, what they look like right now.

Here is an idea for another boss type for Elimination missions.

Mactera Queen: A parasitic giant Mactera boss that is able to shoot Mactera spit, grab dwarves like the grabber, release goo like the goo bomber, and spawn smaller versions of the Mactera spawn. They have less health than the dreadnought bosses but make up for it with increased speed and danger. They can't be instakilled by freezing.

They spawn from breaking a cocoon just like the dreads. Mactera Queen larvae burrows into a dread coccon and feeds on the maturing dread. There is no way to tell if it's a queen coccon just from appearance, as with all coccon bosses.

They have a 10% chance of spawning. Every dread type would then have a 30% chance of spawning.

Mission Control will comment when it's a Mactera Queen. "Oh that's not a dreadnought. Kill it anyways team!" "It seems that a nasty parasitic bugger has spawned instead of a dreadnought. I think Management would want it dead all the same." Etc.

changing the TCF to a overclock, + reversion of explosion mining nerf

overclock - Thin containment field

shooting a charged shot causes it to implode (same)

change implosion damage thresholds, able to kill grunts(and lower) up to haz 4 with implosion, leaving haz 5 grunts and up with remaining HP
-20/30 ammo cap

revert the change to explosive mining that sends minerals flying across the map when using explosions to mine via epc and C4

it forces a minimum of 7 ammo per implosion, and massively reduces the number you have access to without taking the super rewarding skillshot of hitting nitra in hard to reach places away from the class with the least to do during downtime between waves/ objectives

hey, was on a simple hazard 3 parasite aquark run when we had a swarm, then a bulk detonator, then a glyphid dreadnought, then a second swarm with another bulk detonator, then a third swarm because all but one of our party dropped and had to run around like a chicken with its head cut off whittling down the first two swarms, then because it took too long, a third swarm with a third bulk detonator. all in all, we had 3 bulk detonators, 3 stacked swarms, and a glyphid dreadnought happening at the same time. my suggestion is, while a swarm is active, you don't get more swarms. pretty simple bit of code, if swarm active=yes, disable swarm spawn. this was hazard 5, maybe hazard 4 difficulty. that SHOULD NOT happen on a hazard 3.

Cryo cannon balance suggestion: The T1 "bigger pressure chamber" mod makes the pressure drop rate into a complete non-issue, even when you have a mod like Ice Storm that makes the pressure drop faster. Part of the problem is that the cryo cannon's pressure gauge is too big anyway. Managing pressure isn't a big part of the weapon, unless you take Flow Rate Expansion (which no-one does because it's pretty much strictly worse than Perfectly Tuned Cooler). Here's my suggestion:

Firstly, greatly increase pressure drop rate for Cryo Cannon, so pressure management is actually a big deal. This acts as a nerf to the weapon, an indirect nerf to the Cold Radiance mod, and also makes the weapon more skill-based.

Secondly, remove the Flow Rate Expansion OC and replace it with Mammoth Pressure Chamber: +10% flow rate, sufficiently reduced pressure drop rate that the weapon goes back to being "hold M1 and don't worry about the pressure drop", but less total ammo carried.

So I saw some people mention before about voice commands similar to in TF2, but I did not see any really elaborating on the concept like this. Feel free to hit me with a ♻️, but I have searched for voice commands and I never saw anyone elaborate to this extent.
The x button just does not cut it. It's great for grunting, but the lines are too inconsistent and situational within the mission. Even while downed, players should still have access to the full list.

So, here are some examples I whipped up. Each category could be cycled through by pressing x again. Alternatively, pressing x could bring up a selection of the following:

Voice commands:

This is nowhere near a finished product and will definitely need to reduce redundancy wherever needed and to play with the order. But this should serve as a good example as to how it can be utilized, to help others visualize the concept better and to give an example of the variety of options it can provide. In my opinion I think the list would be easier and faster to use and memorize than a wheel.

Would elites be better if they less health but random modifiers akin to a Diablo? It shouldn’t require any model changes, maybe color shades. Ex:

Axbane - takes less damage from pickaxe attacks

Cold blooded - attacks apply X% freeze. Also, it can’t be fully frozen (still slowable)

Ditch digger - able to dig, and digs quickly

Fearless - can’t be feared; moves faster

Imploder - causes an implosion shortly after death (TCF)

Nadebane - takes less damage from explosives

Leaper (hiveguard, grunt) - can pounce like a swarmer, but only once every 15-20 seconds

Electrified - twin elites that arc lightning between like crystals

Lavabreather (hiveguard, grunt) - breaths fire and leaves small lava patches

Shieldbelly - it ate a shield; gains a shield that regenerates after a few seconds of not taking damage

Cannibal - heals when nearby glyphid die

Crystallized (praterion) - increased armor; breath attack also vomits random minerals (with a max)

Adaptive - gains a modest damage reduction against the last element that damaged it

Steelbelly (Mactera) - significant armor and health increase; attack speed and projectiles significantly slowed
Ambusher - model is very translucent unless in 10 yards of a dwarf

Faceoff (if model change is doable) - literally lacks a face and that weak point. Karl only knows how it feeds..

• maybe have a warning “super elite” that spawns elites with 2 modifiers
• Similar to swarms having a 1% chance of dreadnoughts, have a 1% chance of only elites (5? 6?)

have elites drop a small reward — 10-20crafting minerals, 20 nitra, etc

Biome Idea: The Festering Corpse

The Festering Corpse is a biome located inside the remains of a MASSIVE Dead alien (we are talking about on the scale of mountains, here). The xenobiology of the alien remains a mystery, but it might be related in some way to Loot Bugs as there is viable minerals to be mined there. The walls are more organic in nature (similar to the organic material of Egg Sacs). Could include hazards such as explosive sacs of gas and toxins as the corpse decays (possibly deep inside walls too?). Also could have "Parasites" in lieu of/in addition to Swarmers. Would also be a more viable place for Corpse Feeders.

Game Mode: Deep Dive Frontier

Your team is sent down into Hoxxes like a regular Deep Dive but with a twist, this is endless. Each stage increases the difficulty by half a hazard level and every stage you are rewarded minerals, credits and even cores with rewards increasing along with the depth and difficulty and the missions and levels are randomized. As it is an endless mission, I find rewarding the player every stage makes sense. The team can select their own starting difficulty from 1-5 but after 5 you have to play the mission to reach something like hazard 6 or 7.

peak aurora Apr 19, 2021, 11:45 PM

What about a gamemode where you start in the center of a giant map filled with anything. Alien eggs, morkite, dreadnoughts, aquarqs and so on along with secondary objectives such as boolo caps, dystrum, fester fleas and so on. Along with that are the usual minerals of the biom you are into. It is up to you what you do. Fullfill everything or just 1 objective. The escape button is always active so you can leave whenever you want. The more objectives you fullfill, the better is the reward upon success but the harder the mission gets. More waves, more special/elite enemies and biom based events such as sandstorms earthquakes and so on. It could come in 2 variations. 1 with molly, 1 with an armored lifter.

Suggestion to severely reduce how often mission control talks when you get out of the triangulation zone. He just keeps saying "Get back in the triangulation zone! You need to stay in the triangulation zone!" NONSTOP, it's insanely annoying, especially on higher difficulties where you don't have a choice but to leave sometimes because of the amount of enemies there are.

Letting players choose what overclock they want (or maybe just what weapon they want it for) through the Forge Mastery rewards, (same with cosmetics) to not be at the mercy of RNG as much would be nice.

Weird idea: add in a spectral Mactera Grabber that could spawn in instead of the spectral Detonator in Haunted Cave missions. It would behave like a normal Grabber and can be warded off or forced to drop a teammate by shooting at it; it can't be permanently killed, though.

I'm not sure where to post this, but why don't you guys have the modded game be a selection when launching the game ("Launch With Mods" vs "Launch Without Mods") with achievements disabled and which can optionally copy your base game profile? That way players can use their leveled characters without having to worry about breaking progression or having to start a new character for mods.

i've been searching to make sure this isn't a repeat of another post, though it looks like i'm safe. here's an idea for a pickaxe mod. this mod would definitely need balancing, but the loss of the power attack helps with that; the numbers given are for example purposes only. edit: found some posts similar to this, but they date back to mid 2019; ill leave this here. . . for now.

pickaxe mod: pick-mattock; replaces the power attack mod.
*"strike the earth!": a tool of utility, your pickaxe has the following attributes
~ swing your pickaxe [50%?] faster.
~ pickaxe does [50%?] less damage; this balances the faster swing speed.

Suggestion:
i've been searching to make sure this isn't a repeat of another post, though it looks like i'm safe. here's an idea for a weapon. some of the mod/overclock ideas can also be cannibalized for other guns. if something like this is already in progress, disregard the following.

Pepperbox (carbine or pistol).
~ perhaps make it a break action weapon edit: break actions are cool
~ upon using [vague button description] to activate, it fires all the remaining loaded barrels at once. edit for clarification: otherwise, this weapon fires shots in a semi-auto manner (realistically, it would be double action, but the specifics don't matter)
~ overclocks/mods
~ duck's foot: much more damage, less ammo. can only fire volleys.
~ undersized rounds: much more ammo, less damage and accuracy (smaller rounds bounce around inside the barrels, and have less kinetic energy to impart).
~ beard grease: faster rof, increased accuracy.
~ loose parts: much faster rof, less accuracy
~ tight fitting parts: slower rof, increased accuracy and damage
~ rocket rounds: damage increases with distance (think gyrojet)
~ piton rounds: fires small pitons. when they are pickaxed, it accelerates the responsible dwarf vertically. these are one-use, reduce fall damage, and despawn after a period of time

What if you can press c more than one time in the same place, the mule wont follow you straight after you go 20 metres away.
Instead the mule stay there as long as you call him again to move to an different place.
This would be very good in Solo missions becourse the mule can stand still and wont get in the way or push to right to the dreadnout or something.

So I got this one thing that kinda bugs me with the Zhukovs, and that is the final row of perks for the guns only contains two perks. One that basically is made for IFG and electro damage builds and the second being a "meh" second option that feels underwhelming. But if you don't wanna use the electro mod you're basically stuck with the "meh" option. Other weapons seem to always have cool perks on the final row that really changes the weapons playstyle. So basically, please add a third perk on the final row to give the gun more options. Like an ammo upgrade or anything really...

Scout lacks a lot of room-clearing potential. He's got a lot of movement options (grappling hook, shotgun jump OC, general dwarf perks), precision weaponry, and throwables that apply debuffs. In teams, he has other dwarves to help cover his deficiencies. In solo, his firepower can be insufficient to deal with hi-hazard swarms, and he can get overwhelmed. This brings me to the topic of his get-out-of-jail-free card in Solo play: Bosco.

Bosco Rockets currently are Scout's best option for explosive area damage and killing crowds of Glyphid Grunts, and they are invaluable to him in Solo play. When Bosco's rockets are on cooldown, Scout's waveclearing potential falls dramatically. So, I would like to propose this: an upgrade for Bosco that reloads one of his Rockets instantly when a Dwarf gets ammo from Resupply.

I go through the fall through the map glitch enough that it would be nice to have a respawn button that would put you back next to your team like you were joining into a mission late. This could perhaps use up one of your revives but it would be preferable to falling through the void for a while. This could even be automatically triggered when you go 700 or 800 blocks below the lowest point on the map.

I was just thinking it be kind funny and just cool, if when you get really drunk with all dwarfs around you. They would do small animations like dumping into each other and laughing/cussing each other out. Or swing back and forth as they hold onto each other. As well as maybe trying to sing and dance which would be out of tone, and soon after they all fall down all together as their laugh and burping… then you wake up in the medical bay.

Also just another side idea maybe the dwarfs could maybe sing if they're drunk on mission or just burp.fart, as well as randomly dance and even laugh loudly.(which in turn would make them more of a target for the bugs) As well as maybe just singing or hummm little tones to give them more character as they mine. Like sea of thieves where if you have multiple people playing a song it starts making it sounding better and more like a song.

here's another dumb idea i had; hopefully this stokes someone's imagination. also, as far as i was able to find, this is not suggested elsewhere (though i could also just be blind).

mission: the great mushrum hunt
~ somewhere (far off) in the cave there is a special type of beer ingredient that is being guarded by either a) wildlife (maybe its their favourite snack, maybe they are cultivating it to feed to dreadnoughts, like how some ants cultivate fungus), or b) some sort of vault or machine-event type encounter, stored for safe keeping and/or gathered by machines. after felling your foes, you can strap the great(big, but also awesome) mushrum to molly, then make like an elf and leaf.

yes, this does take inspiration from the escort/heartstone mission, but it could be an interesting twist on the "hunt/gather this object(s)" type of mission. overall i rate this suggestion with a chonky 'F', as it is not unique enough and has probably already been suggested.

I have a small suggestion and a big one:

** 1️⃣ Dying Cave**: Biome which slowly but surely collapses and needs to be played through quickly. If that is too hard to implement, maybe some modification to only have limited time to finish a mission as an extra mod?

** 2️⃣ Quick "Thank you" and "You're Welcome"**: When resurrecting and generally being a nice dwarf, maybe add a button for others which allows for saying thank you quickly? This exists in Apex Legends, and there I find it to be a very neat feature

The frost praetorian is currently very non-threatening. The reason for this is that the frost breath doesn't do much damage, and it doesn't really have a high chance of freezing the dwarves either. Just increasing the damage and freezing power would be frustrating, though, since the breath attack starts up so fast and applies a slow - you'd get caught in it and frozen with no chance to get out!

Instead, rework the breath attack so that instead of steady freezing over time, it has a long and obvious wind-up and then a MUCH larger burst of cold. Instead of getting immediately hit and slowed the instant the praetorian begins the attack animation, you see and hear it "taking a deep breath" and then you have to move or you will get frozen.

Some Overclock ideas taking inspiration from the teased Goo gun, as well as the concept behind Embedded Detonators and Explosive Reload being on separate weapons, but retaining the same, or similar, function.

DeepCore PGL:
SynthGoo Filler (Balanced Overclock)
rocknstone Explosion covers the are in Sticky Goo.
Increased effect range. +2
tothebone -25% Velocity.
Moderate decrease in explosive damage.

The folks down in RnD must have been on a bender, and stumbled upon a synthetic version of the the Sticky Goo found in Hoxxes' Bogs, and obviously tried it out as ordnance filler. Your rounds lack most of their damage now but they'll leave behind a sticky mess that's proven to slow down anything that gets coated in it, yourself and fellow dwarves included!
Note: Management does NOT offer discounts on laundry services!

Thunderhead AutoCannon:
SynthGoo Filled Shells (Unstable Overclock)
rocknstone Rounds impacting terrain have a chance(75%) to leave behind globs of Sticky Goo
Increased effect range. +2
tothebone Decreased Max Firerate. -2
Decreased Direct and Area Damage. -4/-3

The folks down in RnD must have been on a bender, and stumbled upon a synthetic version of the the Sticky Goo found in Hoxxes' Bogs, and obviously tried it out as ordnance filler. Your rounds lack in explosive damage now but they'll usually leave behind a sticky mess that's proven to slow down anything that steps in it, yourself and fellow dwarves included!
Note: Management does NOT offer discounts on laundry services!

Elemental Bulk Detonator variants- stuff like radioactive and slimy, which have different effects on their stomp and death explosions and also might spray stuff when their weakpoints break (like Goo Bombers).

Radioactive could be called a "Holog Detonator" (after a nuclear test) and drop radiation AOEs (and maybe have an excessively large death explosion) and Slimy could be called a "Septica Detonator" (after fuligo septica- "dog vomit" slime mold) and drop orange Sentinel slime everywhere.

So I was thinking of this the other day, I often forget to intentionally choose the proper build as I switch between missions and such, there are, after all, a ton of mission type/biome/modifier combinations.

I think it would be a good idea to offer a way to distribute loadout selections to your mission types, as well as to the biome, and if possible even to a specific modifer. It doesn't always matter, most casual stuff you don't need to min-max, but for example in Crystal Caverns and playing as Engineer, forgetting to have the right type of primary weapon to deal with all the small swarming bugs can be a real problem.

Basically, you could assign a standard loadout that the game defaults to most of the time, but if certain conditions are met, the game switches to your preferred loadout for your current class based on those conditions. No loadout is a master of all trades, so it would be nice to make it so if one so chose, they could automate the process of tailoring their loadout to the mission type, biome, or modifiers. Never again bring the Deepcore Nuke Overclock to the Radioactive Exclusion Zone, the Flamethrower to the Magma Core, etc. If you make a loadout that works best for a certain scenario, you are allowed to assign it to that scenario. Just something to make a sufficiently invested player with the time to manage it be able to always have the loadout they want to use.

In order of importance, probably being able to tailor to the Biome is most important, then the mission type, and lastly the modifiers.

Idea for a mission type: Tower Defense/Mann vs Machine-escue type missions where you defend a Loot Bug farm on the various planets. Maybe the administrators of the rig want to protect the Loot Bug populations, so they want to ship them to a safe haven, and they plan to send a carrier that'll ship them off soon, so it's your job to defend said Loot Bug farms from grunts. Every grunt you kill drops 0.50x nitra, meaning if you kill two grunts it equals 1 Nitra. Maybe it can also last 3 or 4 waves or even more minutes.

Alternative to loadout fixes, seperating each loadout slot to only affect the item/weapon. That way if you want to run a specific loadout you don't have to remod half of your gear while mixing existing ones

undone turtle Apr 22, 2021, 12:38 PM

Idea for mods:
I think the best way to add mods to the game is to have 2 separate saves but your main save affects your mods one for example I am core level 27 and have a promoted scout all that goes to my mod save and any xp and gold I gain on main save goes to mod save including resources upgrades and all but not vice versa and finally mod save can't unlock achievements.
I hope my idea is helpful and good luck management.

A Rework of the Frozen Status Effect, at least from the Cryo Cannon:
As it stands, the effect of freezing is a bit too polarizing, giving you amazing CC and 3x kinetic damage against frozen targets. To try and smooth out the effects of the status, while not making it a blue flamethrower, is a rework suggestion below:

Enemies are now chilled when hit by the Cryo Cannon, slowing down their movement speed, attack rate, and attack windup. They also take increases damage. Both of these effects scale with how chilled the target is. As a result of this change, enemies would likely take longer to freeze, and freezing enemies now will not offer as large of a damage multiplier (possibly 1.5-2x), but it should make the Cryo Cannon into less of a deletion stream and more into a Crowd Control Weapon.

Whether weakpoints would still be available on frozen targets is another choice that I am currently unsure of whether to add. Having indestructible armor still affect damage while frozen is another possible balance change.

Hopefully this can help balance the strength of the Freezing Effect (for the cryo cannon at least) and make crowd control a more important part of it's core strength.

I'm going to suggest once more that subata 120 has a higher base damage, around 15 or 16, in order for it to work well in its intended role as a semi auto pistol. I would also suggest much more diverse build options such as improvements to the automatic fire OC, more damage increase options or mag capacity or fire rate options, possibly armor breaking or neurotoxin options. Just make it stronger so that it can stand on its own legs. As it is now the subata relies massively on the weakpoint and burn bonuses just to do average damage, making it less efficient and less convenient to use than just using the EPC.

You see way more diversity in the bulldog, brrt, and dual zhukovs in how you can build them. The subata 120 doesn't really have that. It's over clocks are also very underpowered and don't address it's root problem of just not having damage.

The subata severely underperforms and it's current OCs don't really fix that. I strongly suggest overhauling the subata to make a more effective semi auto pistol that takes advantage of weakpoints but does not rely on them entirely.

dumb m1k overclock idea

"High Velocity Rounds"
Increases damage dealt with the weapon this applies to, depending on distance from the target.

Close? You get a damage penalty. Your damage can go down to half damage at point blank!

But if you enjoy hitting people from far away, it can double the damage you deal.

The amounts might be too drastic but I think it could be interesting

Ok, I said it before, but not here, I'll say it again: unique models for Elite Enemies
At least a new colour. Current state with "skull sign and inscription" isn't your level, guys. You can do much better, and we want a new content, not a just "slightly glowing bugs".

craggy ginkgo Apr 22, 2021, 9:45 PM

#

To be honest, the elite enemies don't even feel like an additional feature, they're basicly just usual enemies with more health. There's nothing what makes them anything else than annoying. Unique models won't change anything on that.
If you want to add harder enemies, you also have to make the player feel happy to encounter them. Make them drop loot for example, maybe in a special way like the Crassus Exploder. Players love this one because it's a nice challange with a great reward. Elite enemies are bullet sponges wich prevent you from doing your work.

Another thing: What's the point of Deep Dive Elite if it's (nearly) impossible to win? The second mission of the current DDE is way too hard due to the Dreadnought bossfight. Im my opinion, this is because of the swarm that comes with the boss. You simply cannot reach the damage output you need in order to not get overrun. So here's my suggestion: Leave the bosses buffed (more or less) like you did in the update but let the players fight them without any other enemies spawning at the same time. The bossfight are way more enjoyable if you don't need to deal with those purely annoying swarms at the same time. The bossfight can still be hard though, if you manage to balance the bosses right.

I think it would be fair if the minimal height required to get fall damage would be increased, at least for the modifications/beer (even perks in the future?) that provide fall damage reduction (zipline, scout's armor/grappling hook etc.)
Fall damage is extremely random, and in this game it's especially punishing, i understand that you get oneshotted if you fly up high and fall down, but the randomness is real, sometimes you fall from a high place and you get your whole shield + some health removed, or either just half the shield, i don't really know how the calculation for fall damage works.
The suggestion is basically: if you fall for 5 meters worth of height, and let's say fall damage is applied after a fall worth 3 meters of height, your protection will add 1 or 2 meters to the standard fall damage proc height which won't proc said damage, as it's going to be considered as non-lethal height.
if you exceed 5 meters, the %damage reduction will kick in, as you're going to take damage.
Note: i used random numbers as examples, i do not know after how many meters the fall damage is actually applied, don't kill me pls
TL;DR, also for people who don't seem to understand: anything that has a fall damage reduction should also increase the maximum height which you can fall without taking damage. Simple as that, right?

So the elites are out.. and while some of you will worship the ground the devs walk on, I'm here with some constructive criticism;

The elites need to feel rewarding to fight, because right now they're just an annoyance that make the game less fun.
Have elite enemies chomp through the environment or drop minerals when killed, have them exhibit new mechanics to upgrade what was already there - like giving armor grunts the ability to hunker down and take 99% reduced dmg for a short while, like a turtle.. or giving slashers like a slashing spin move, or an alien head extension.. or giving pretorians a shorter puke spray, but triple it, or, have them leave a trail of toxic waste that damages and slows you, or have them just demolish the environment like bulks/dreads when they're trying to get to you (but have them destroy it by simply walking close to it, not as a chase mechanic)... make them upgraded and interesting, not just a boring ammo sink.
Make killing them rewarding by boosting your mineral count, or xp, or both.
Make the game fun, not a tedious chore.

so the aggressive venting mod for the minigun was buffed recently and that's great, its a personal favorite of mine for lower haz missions
unfortunately i dont think enough has been done to make it properly useful for haz5, its still not as valuable as cold as the grave

the problem is you just cant use aggressive venting on haz 5 if youve got oppressors or bulks bearing down on you, its impossible to give up the minigun in those situations
but rather than do something like buff its damage or radius, i propose allowing it to scare away creatures who are normally immune to fear factor - oppressors, dreadnoughts, bulk detonators etc - like how the shield generator currently does
this gives gunner players a semi reliable source of consistent fear on enemies normally immune to it, which could be potentially huge but comes at great sacrifice. could open up some interesting options

Idea for an enemy type: glyphid trapper

A glyphid that is slightly larger than a grunt with Partial camouflaging skin, with a small tendril like antenna that makes something that looks like a small deposit of minerals. When a dwarf lingers near for too long, or tries to mine the minerals, the tendril will wrap around them and body will take bites at them. The mineral bait can morph into part of a larger mineral deposit of morkite, gold, nitra, and other minerals similar to them. Meanwhile, smaller crafting minerals and red sugar would look like normal. I just think this will make players be more careful, and check around them.
At this point im just gonna slap this into place and leave it

Please add an icon for fear. It's often very difficult to tell when an enemy is feared, especially when you're shooting 20 grunts from 50 meters away with Neurotoxin Payload. Adding an icon will also help new players understand the fear mechanic exists, as there are a lot of weapons that can cause it but it is rarely clearly stated. Adding an icon will also help players understand its "duration", which is not only unclear, but is affected by other status effects (slows/stuns/freeze).

An animation of tearing of bugs. I mean, if you kill them with shotgun, autocannon, minigun or grenade launcher, you turn him literally into green fog or "thin green paste" that splashes around. Could be cool if it will be some animation of blowing them apart. It will provides more weapon impact. For now they just, ugh, flies away using ragdoll, like you shoot him from a simple pistol, not with a god damn heavy cannon or powerful shotgun. Let us feel a power of our weapon.

For aggressive venting, allow venting of the minigun heat at any stage of the heat (green, yellow, red) with the reload button. The power of the heat vent become more powerful the closer the minigun to overheating. That way aggressive venting can be used as a defensive maneuver for gunner who wanted to play defensively without using so much ammo to build it to overheat.

Suggestion title: Steeve moustache
I believe that every Steeve that we tame should have a classy moustache added to its face. It does not affect the gameplay, but the experience will be enhanced by having not only a loyal companion, but also a gentlemanlike and classy one that we will want to protect and spend a whole expedition with. The con here is that we can't take those lads back with us.

Suggestion: Limit the amount of interaction randoms have on messing up the hosts mission.

Too many games Ive played in a public lobby with randoms who ruin the mission either by immediately calling the drop pod as soon as the primary mission is fulfilled denying the chance to the other players of getting the secondary bonus, finding rare materials in different parts of the map, or even trying to explore and find things like battery packs and helmets.. My suggestion is just to switch control of the call drop pod button to the host of the games preventing players from doing this.

Would love to see something like customization to lighting options, such as changing the flares to be sticky instead of bounce, or the option to swap out the flashlight entirely for a faster flare recharge speed (or the inverse, swapping flares for an improved flashlight and making holding F change the focal length and other players being able to see what that lights up so it's not a selfish choice). Or sacrificing recharge speed for greater light radius and up-time on flares.

Perhaps the flares in the loadout screen (which seems to just be there for UI symmetry at the moment. Edit: I learned they used to have upgrades but were lumped into the standard flares. It sounded from the dev stream mentioning this that perhaps the old upgrades were cheap essentials you forget about once you get them instead of preferential decisions. I think not everyone would necessarily grab something like sticky over not) could just be general lighting equipment, with flares and flashlights lumped into each other, giving options to specialize for play-style.

I'm sure something like this has been suggested before, but I'd suggest two different OC for the M1K.
OC - Sniper Shot (Unstable)
Pro - Massive Focus Shot damage, especially to weakspots.
Con - Longer time to focus
Con - Single shot requires reload (but doesn't consume an entire clips worth of ammo)
Con - Aim penalty for moving

OC - Explosive Shot (Clean?)
Pro - Focus Shots now embed an explosive charge into an enemy. After a short fuse (and beeps) it explodes dealing damage in a small/medium AoE around the target.

Electrifying Reload replacement: Voltaic Rounds (Electrocution on hit, -2dmg, -5mag capacity, -25 ammo). Just an idea, I find the reload requirement for Electrifying Reload to be too tedious in remembering which enemies you tagged for electrocution. Also I'm just throwing in the -25 ammo because you would be able to instantly tell which enemies are zapped.

Suggestion: add the loadout you have for your pickaxe in your ingame menu.

modern flint Apr 25, 2021, 1:43 PM

#

Context: the pickaxe swings at different rates depending on the target (ores being a normal rate / identical to the initial swing, whereas things like enemies or ebonuts begin a much slower swing rate than the former).

Suggestion: Keep one speed for each (leaving the nice touch of the change in stance for the pick swing), or make the initial swing speed be determined by the target in addition to the follow-ups. Another option is having the initial swing be a lighter hit with follow-ups being more weighty in damage, or some other variation of making the slower swing speed be worth not doing the bellow.

Currently I just find myself clicking for each swing whenever encountering things that slow down the swing rate, essentially preemptively doing the first option of the suggestion.

Suggestion: player waypoints (laser pointer + E) stick around momentarily after dropping the laser pointer. Currently it fades instantly, would be nice if it was easier to reference when tunneling.

cunning field Apr 25, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

This is probably not possible due to the way satchels are coded but I kinda wish you could stick the satchel to bugs to be able to detonate it at a more appropriate timing. It would give a bit more flexibility to this support tool. For example, sticking a satchel to a dreadnought early, and only detonating it when the weak point is open. Maybe this could be a new perk idk

Had an solo OMEN fight when I got downed by a pulse wave, and then an exploding drone kept hovering next to my body waiting for me to be revived by Bosco, after which it proceeded to detonate, taking out a very sizeable chuck of HP almost immediately after my resuscitation, which felt really unfair. Please consider an AI change to exploder drones that makes them detonate near the dwarf regardless of them being downed or standing, instead of them waiting for the optimal moment.

Passing on being host to other players if the current host crashes, so that the entire progress of a mission isn't lost with no chance of recovery for the whole team.

Has happened a few times to me at this point.

Suggestion: Voicelines for situations where you can't call the MULE
There's several instances in the game where you can't call the MULE and yet the game still allows you to call. It's pretty straight forward whats going on when you can't call the MULE to your position, but for new players this could become confusing at first. Thus I suggest we add some more voicelines for the dwarfs to say in certain scenarios relating to the MULE, in particular on OSR/PE/SO where there are different conditions for the MULE and during deployment and extraction where you cannot call the MULE.

Examples:
Calling MULE during deployment
"The MULE is being deployed."
"The MULE hasn't deployed yet!"
"Hold on, the old lady is grabbing her rollator..."
"She won't return my calls!"
"Molly's radio isn't on yet."
"Comms on the donkey aren't working yet!"

Calling MULE during extraction
"Follow the MULE's trail back to the drop pod!"
"Molly's headed for the drop pod! Lets follow her!"
"Lets race the MULE back to the drop pod!"
"The tin can is rolling to the drop pod! Look for the green markers!"
"MULE is enroute to the drop pod!"
"The donkey is leaving a bread crumb trail! Lets follow it back home!"

Calling MULE on Point Extraction/On-site Refining
"That MULE doesn't have legs!"
"The old lady is at the retirement home!"
"I don't think Molly can hear me from here."
"The depository doesn't have legs this time."
"Dammit! I'll have to walk this time."
"The MULE is missing!"

I don't think I've seen this one yet, but an indirect change that would appease those complaints about minerals flying everywhere with the TCF, is making it only destroy terrain similar to drills, so resources must be disconnected. (I would dissent this personally, I'd rather have the flying minerals, but I figured I'd mention it anyway).

modern flint Apr 26, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

I've only seen suggestions purely on loot bugs or EPC mining, but I think overall the velocity the minerals achieve is a bit comedic and feels somewhat unreasonable at times. I haven't EPC mined since the update, but speaking from loot bugs at times I simply don't bother unless the bug is in a cramped space, expecting a 2 minute walk otherwise to get the loot which may get eaten by another loot bug across the map. As mentioned in the discussion previously, I prefer the comedic nature of things to be left on the space rig. (I think faster than the speeds of the chests would be good though, since those are slow enough that standing on them involved no searching for minerals)

This is all to say, they should be launched, just not fast enough that if a mineral chunk hit me in the face I would be decapitated. Just knocked out or maybe a cracked rib is good. 😅

Did a gold rush mission with pots of gold and got, and get this, 230 gold total the whole mission. Mission modifiers like that maybe should include a minimum number of veins generated. I have a theory mineral mania does nothing, I simply don't notice the difference between missions with or without it. A good indicator of it working might be having the additional spawns have a visual difference to their mineral formations.

When you are searching server, you find desired one and before you click, it moves when server list refreshes automatically (goes up or down) and by missclick you enter in wrong mission... then you have to leave and search again while mission you where trying to enter is no longer exists, it is so annoying. I suggest to make "JOIN" button next to "REFRESH" button, so we could click on server (mission) and if it goes up and down it will be still selected and after you can click JOIN button below and you will no longer join wrong run.

Will be cool if you add mission type logos in filters so we could check / uncheck before searching.

A new mission mode/ new machine event:
Management is tired of needlessly losing miners down in Hoxxes, so RnD had a fantastic idea of using a device to attract every single bug in the area. Problem is, it works a bit too well. Not only it attracts bugs, they also drive them insane. The bugs rampage all over the mining areas that it is impossible for DRG to send down miners for their regular missions. Now you dwarves are going to be the team that goes in and shut that thing down before the whole planet is crawling with more bugs than it already is. Be warned you are facing hundreds, if not thousands of bugs of all sizes down there.
It is a timed mission type that might be more suited as a machine event.
If it is a full mission then when players first drop down there is a welcoming party (hundreds of bugs right out of the pod) and they have to fight through those bugs to the main machine. Once there they need to activate a shut down sequence of around 20 minutes (I took that as average mission time of morkite mission could be scaleable with hazard levels). Players have to defend the machine or else it will draw more bugs the more damage it has sustained. Once the countdown starts, bug waves will start spawning. It would start out slowly with only a few bugs, nothing unmanageable. Eventually in a minute or two of the shutdown massive waves start spawning (depending on the hazard level) much like the Dorreta missions. At shutdown the machine sends out a massive shockwave that will kill all the bugs in a set area and the team needs to hold out until the drop pod comes back, and then it’s business as usual. It might be cool when the wave starts there will be sentry gun platforms that drop down from orbit to help miners.
Resource wise it will be like the On-site extraction but there will be MULE for mobile resource extraction. Since the machine is "disposable"

A perk for resource collection, such as a passive for an increased drop pickup radius, or that could be a passive portion of an active perk which allows you to throw something which tethers resources in an area to stop them from escaping a certain radius for a short period of time. Could be activated by doing pickaxe + grenade (similar to power attacks). Upgrading those could result in incremental increases to grab radius, tether radius, chance to grab faster moving items, cooldown / number of uses, or any combination of those things. Just spitting out ideas there.

#

Alternatively or additionally, a perk could just make it so resources which appear close enough to the player to be picked up can't escape being picked up (could be called something like "Inescapable Grasp" and maybe some voice lines whenever it successfully prevents something from getting away.)

You added a double warnings for a "making more money". So, we finished a Point Extraction with some random Scout. 5 hazard, Haunted Caves and Lethal Enemies, 31 minutes (kinda hard when there are only two of you, Gunner and Scout), and we got...3500 credits.
Are you serious?
I'm not talking about a time - it's our problem that we've dig for so long. But LE and HC and only 3500 credits?
My suggestion is - add a special point in a "Reward List" after mission - Double Warning, that gives you at least another 50% of reward, or may be even doubles it.
For example, this mission could reward us an extra +1750 credits. Not so much, but 5250 for Double Warnings sounds better, isn't it?

New perk: Lootbug Master
Once per mission, tame a lootbug the same way you would tame a Steeve. Your character has a short animation of picking the lootbug up, petting it, and then placing it on their head or shoulder. For the remainder of the mission, the lootbug (immune to friendly fire and evil perks) provides you an extra +10 mineral capacity.

Notes: perk is incompatible with "It's a bug thing" for obvious reasons.

Balance: can be a tiered perk, +5, +10, and +15 mineral capacity, respectively. Not entirely sure how to balance it with the deep pockets perk, as this does essentially the same thing. Perhaps it could also be incompatible, you can take one or the other, but not both.

HE Grenade replacement:

The Driller's kit is lacking in direct burst damage in a way that is mitigated by the throwing axes, which is why these are so consistently popular. My idea is to replace the HE grenade with something similar, but different to the existing throwing axes so that each have their own interesting niche.

The idea is a fast, accurate, high damage (but not as high damage as the axes) throwing weapon that hits the first target in a straight line. This weapon could deal bonus weakspot damage to benefit accurate throws, but it would have significantly lower base damage than the axe, meaning it would be very weak when not hitting weakpoints. Ideally this would be a better weapon for dealing with mactera, or other threats that are longer range than the axe can hit (as long as you're accurate). Axes would still be the high damage, lower range weapon of choice, and would be better with a quick freezing build due to their higher base damage. Otherwise, the new weaponwould work the same way as the axe: 8 ammo, and you can pick up missed throws.

What would this weapon look like? I have two thoughts: throwing darts, to fit with the drinking games theme, or a "power fist" that creates a kinetic shockwave when you punch in the direction of the target. Darts probably make more sense, but doesn't a power fist sound cool? I suppose if it were a power fist you couldn't pick up missed throws, so darts are probably the way to go. Power fist tho.

There was a similar suggestion to this, but it was in a different light, and it was 2 years ago.
A change to the scouts grapple that allows it to grapple to bugs. This would mostly be used on macterae and other flying things, but could also be used on trawlers and qronars. Maybe with the downside that it cannot hook onto strong exoskeletons, so glyphid guards, praetorians, and other heavily armored bugs can block the hook. Once again, yes there was a suggestion to make a "utility overclock" that does this, but I tweaked mine to something that I think would make the deepcore and sawed off have purpose apart from if you don't want to use the meta.

#

Also, a little brain fart that just came out, no clue if this is not already a thing or was suggested already, but a balanced sawed off OC that makes both barrels shoot simultaneously.

Description:
So, don't ask how, don't ask why, but the rnd boys managed to stuff one of our deadliest shotgun shells into the barrel. It burns white hot and hits like a drop pod. It takes lots of fiddling to get the shell in the barrel though, and you can only load one.

Extreme damage bonus
Fire damage
Very slow reload (only a little bit quicker than the reload of the autocannon)
Clip of one.
Some other large downside, probably total ammo halved or something.
Also, shotgun round, so heavy spread (so it isn't just elephant shot)

I just think this would be a fun "screw that guy in particular" gun, and be one of those sets you run just because you want to have fun. Not expecting this to go through, just haha shotty revolver go boom.

Please consider removing the current implementation of elites from the game, or at least removing their immunity/resistance to status effects such as freeze and stun. They are currently annoying bullet sponges that have no real counterplay. This is especially evident on 4-player hazard 5 missions, where they can cause some very unfair and unavoidable deaths/party wipes (some examples: elite tri-jaws one-shot everyone from full hp/shields, elite grabbers are impossible to deal with, elite bulk detonators move as fast as sprinting dwarves).

surreal condor Apr 28, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

Ok I see a lot of gripe about Elite enemies, so here is my 2 credits (forgive me if some of this has been stated in here before):

Elite enemies shouldn't just have boring/overpowered stat boosts. (personally I haven't had much trouble defeating them, but it feels ridiculous how much ammo you need to dump into some of them and how they are too resistant to debuffs) They should be more difficult mechanics-wise as opposed to stat wise.

Elite enemies should be relatively uncommon, yet exciting encounters that provide a fun and unique challenge compared to the regular version of that enemy. They should have special attacks or abilities that make them unique threats that don't require 1000 leadstorm rounds to the weak point to be a challenge.

I'll post a few separate suggestions for what each elite could do.

#

Someone already suggested that the elite grunts should jump like the swamers do. However I think it would make sense , as the word elite would imply, that it would have learned that running headlong into gunfire makes its weak spot an easy target, and thus would jump/roll from side to side when it gets hit so that players have to adjust their aim a lot more to do consistent damage. In turn they would be a bit less tanky so that how quickly it's defeated relies more on the player's aiming skills than it being a more spongey grunt.

surreal condor Apr 28, 2021, 5:11 AM

#

Elite Praetorians could probably have the ability to spray targets at greater range and slowly rotate in place in the direction of the target, making flanking a little harder and the spray is more likely to hit the player. I think the stun immunity should stay so that flanking remains more challenging while lowering the health a bit so that you don't need to spend too much time dealing with it should you flank it well enough. I also think it should be easier to freeze than the current version, but like the dreadnoughts have the frozen damage multiplier lower and the frozen time much shorter

#

Elite Mactera Spawn, and maybe the Tri-Jaw and Brundle too, could have a much shorter wind up for their attack, making the window of time to hit them with a more vulnerable weakspot shorter while also increasing their overall RoF. In turn they no longer have too high a resistance to stun and don't have as much health as they currently do.

#

There are no elite goo bombers, but if they were added I would have them be able to spread goo over a larger area and make the their goo sacks harder to destroy. this way they will be able to cover players in goo more effectively and for longer.

#

The elite acid spitter could spit a volley of 3 for each attack (possibly the same for elite web spitters if they're added back), challenging players by having to change direction while dodging to avoid the slight random spread of the acid projectiles. It should still be mostly immune to stun, but it could have a little less health than it has now.

Hazard Warning: Magnetic Anomaly
(or something, best I could think of)
(probably +15% or +20%)

This hazard doesn't directly enhance enemies.
Instead, it disrupts the 3D map, making everything fuzzy/glitchy approximations, maybe certain things (like carried objects) are gone entirely from the interface.

Could also have player HUD's ammo/grenades numbers obscured/just random jumbled symbols. Health, shields, and that "4-part total ammo capacity" are un-obscured because no. (oh and O2 bar for double warnings, almost forgot)

In-game explanation: "Something is affecting managements local scans more than usual, miners will have to pay more attention to their environment and act accordingly."

this spore would have a rare chance of spawning. any dwarf that wanders too close will breathe in it's hallucinogenic spores floating in the air and they will hallucinate being attacked by bugs. these bugs do no damage.

you could even throw in some real bugs that spawn when you get close.

Enemy Idea:
Glyphid Brood Queen

Size: Slightly Larger than a bulk detonator

While not in charge of the glyphid swarm, all glyphids will group around her to protect her, climbing on her body covering her weaksopts on her abdomen.

She can spit globs of nutritous goo that smaller glyphids will greedily devour, regaining health, armour and getting even an increase to their health and speed.

Her main means of attack is a corrosive webbing she can shoot from spinnerettes on her body. She constantly lays eggs containung up to 10 swarmers that will burst after a few seconds releasing them

Deepcore GK2 Overclock Idea: Slayer Rage (Unstable) “Management have somehow modified the GK2 using the Error Cubes to draw upon the battle-rage of dwarves, temporarily increasing direct damage for each enemy killed at the cost of weakpoint damange and some ammo. Karl would be proud.”
rocknstone Positives: Each enemy killed adds +2dmg, stacking up to +6dmg for 3 seconds. Similarly to Battle Cool.
tothebone Negatives: -10% weakpoint dmg, -25 ammo.
(note: repost from earlier, just without my rant on what I think of this oc) Also feel free to tell me why the oc is bad and how it could be better/alternatives because I feel like the mechanic behind Battle Cool could make a good oc.

New Warning: Migration Zone
"This area placed on a way of different kinds of bugs migration. Better prepare yourself for unexpected encounters."
It makes a high chance of random specific swarms, like swarm of Glyphid Grunts, Glyphid Praetorians, Swarmers and Macteras on a mission. And yeah, even a random Dreadnought spawn (it's not a guarantee spawn, but higher chance than usual).
+25% Hazard Bonus

P.S. Name and description could be changed, I guess you get the idea.

Engineeer Shotgun OC:
Gyrojet HEAP

Replaces the normal shotgunshells with small self propelled recoilless grenades with traveltime that explode after penetrating the target, dealing damage on impact and a small radius around the target.

Max ammo reduced by 20%
+15% armor breaking

Edit: please @me with suggestions for changes and feedback

Edit2: removed the negative on armour penetration... made no sense

A new warning specifically for the Hollow Bough: Overgrowth
Vines will continue to slowly grow as the game progresses and will eventually fill the entire map. This means you have to complete your objectives efficiently without too much fooling around or else you'll get trapped within the invasive vines.

Overclock (Unstable): Orbital Strike
For: Deepcore PGL

rocknstone More velocity = more damage (Caps at 300% more dmaage)
+30% more velocity
tothebone Gravity affects the grenades 100% more powerfully
The grenades can't be fired downwards (-30° and can't fire)

Call in an orbital strike! More damage is generated for the faster the grenade is going. RnD claims that looking straight up is the best way to do it, bu dwarves might be able to prove them wrong with field testing.

An inspect pickaxe animation

If you keep holding V after the salute animation, it will bring the pickaxe back and turn it around in your hand like a CSGO/Valorant inspect knife animation). I find it a shame that there are so many customizations for the pickaxe but you can only ever really see one side.

I'd like the ability to spend some crafting minerals or credits to be able to change the current required mission for an assignment.
Example : Spend 50 Jadiz to turn an escort into any other mission type or turn the current mission into the same mission as another teammate's.

not sure what to call these but i think it's a neat idea;

a special mission thing like deep dives, but you can pump resources/money into it to make it harder, but give more reward

for example you put 100 enor in there you wind up with 200 or something if you win, but if you fail you just lose it, doesn't have to be those exact numbers but you get what i mean, risk reward.

Enemy concept]

『BOT-CO』

this will be a basco counter part to the bet-c

Thare are three variations (for variety)

1 default/commen

It will use it's Melee attack To deal damage

To defeat it you'll need to hit it with your pickaxe stunning it then you will need to shoot the infested patch

Once defeated it will drop reboot it to have an extra Bosco or Bosco in multiplier it will atomicley attack bugs but can not mine minerals

2 shooter/uncommon

Will use it's guns infested patch is always visible hits hard but is easier to take out

The reboot process and behavior will foutchon the same as 1

3 swarm/rare

This will have a heavily infested bot-co with three infested patches on it it will send out basco minis which will attack you

This one has the most heath but can still be taken out a few well placed shots

Rebooting is the same but the futichon will be different

If alone you'll get 2 Bosco minis on top of your main basco

Otherwise each player will get there own basco mini to control

Killing all three will get you a new basco cosmetic

I hope you like this idea as much as I do bye - cardinal

pickaxe Abandoned Mining Equipment pickaxe
Randomly in missions, players can find unique mining tools scattered about the caves. These tools can be picked up and used, but only like Drilldozer batteries, in that they are dropped if you switch weapons. These tools could add alot of variety to mining, a task that can sometimes get a little monotonous

Diamond-Tipped Powerdrill
--Functions like Driller's drills, but can mine ore as well
--Reduces movement speed by 15% due to its weight
--Has only one tank of fuel and cannot be recharged

Jackhammer
--Digs trenches and increases movement speed while "riding" it around
--Can be recharged by placing it near the mule, or refining platform if no mule is present

Seismic Charge
--Explosive that weakens terrain over a large area, allowing it to be broken in one hit with a pickaxe
--Stuns all bugs in its radius for 10 seconds (aside from really large stun-resistant ones)

Sledgehammer
--Functions like a pickaxe, but can break all ore and stone in one hit
--Can be thrown at enemies, stunning them for 10 seconds and breaking their armor on impact
--Has a chance to break after being thrown, rendering it useless

Scout weapon Concept:

The Lepard 56

"From the ever busy RnD team comes this new tool of precise destruction.... The Lepard 56 is a pinpoint accurate 3 round burst gauss bullpup tactical rifle launching flechettes at mach 2 against its target.

Single projectiles are lacking in damage but aimed just right to hit the weakspots of any foe will reveal the main attraction:

The ballistic processor.
If all bullets hit their mark the weapon will calculate the ideal parameters and increase the weakpoint damage of the next burst by 20%"

Medium Ammo pool
Pinpoint accuracy when fired while feet are on the ground
Can overheat

Makes cool humming sounds when fired!

Beer System Update Ideas:

-Beers that provide buffs require different ingredients rather than just Barley Bulbs. Only requiring Bulbs for the buff beers leads to always running low on Bulbs while having hundreds of other ingredients.

-Allow players to choose from 2 or 3 daily specials. Sometimes the buff provided by the daily special is useless for your assignment mission (for example dark morkite is very limited on when it is useful).

-Allow players to pour out beers or throw them away. When random players order a blackout stout or wormhole special and then leave, before you get a chance to order the daily special, it's a bit annoying.

BRT OC
The BRRRRRRRRRRT (or something stupid like that.)
/\Stupid high rof
/\Slightly larger clip
/Unloads entire clip in one burst.
/Less damage.

"Do you ever have TOO much ammo? Well, rnd made the BRT fire insanely fast. They couldn't figure out how to stop it from firing though..."
Just something I think would be fun, I just kinda want a group of stupid OCs that are kinda dumb for high level players going on low levels to help out greenbeards.
Oh and also, that isnt full auto, this is.

Elite oppressors could have a arcing fireball attack (similar to the Hiveguard) that it uses when its target isn't in range of its other attacks. Additionally their ground-pound and rock attacks could have a shorter windup. In exchange for these new abilities, it will have less health than the current elite one.

#

Elite detonators could occasionally shoot a tumorous projectile that has a short fuse time on contact with terrain (to allow players a chance to take cover), which bursts into several smaller explosive tumors which function like and do similar damage as the gunner's cluster grenade. In exchange for this devastating ranged attack, it will not move as quickly as it does now and would have a little less health.

Elite Menaces could have a secondary attack in which they lob a volley of small AoE web bombs that stick to surfaces and detonate after a short fuse time. Making for a deathly combo of webbing and bombarding for the dwarf caught unawares. To balance this new ability in, it would have less health than the current Elite.

( New Planetary region )

The Muddy Hills: The Muddy Hills is a wet,rocky, and down right muddy hell hole for any team set down there. With its dark and humid air, as well as its rock hard walls and sludge roof over head, and god awful sloppy floors. The company once believed it was not worth it time to even check it out- but still, with a bit of stubbornness and high pressured showers. ( and a few lost scout drones ) The company was very surprised to find this region did indeed have a great bounty of resources, and thus send teams down to grab everything they can in this god awful place.

Note to all teams when coming back from this region. Get ready for a high pressure clean.

(New bug in the region)

Called the mudskipper due to how the team describes how it is large like fish wings let it skip/ glide through the mud with ease. ( more information may follow in time )

Boss Idea : The D.R.4.G.

ENEMY TYPE: Mechanical Boss Dragon
ASPECT: A mechanical dragon
CHANCE TO APPEAR: Very low. Other option is a game mode where you fight the D.R.4.G. and its life is divided in 2-3 parts and when one of those parts get empty, it become inmune and moves to another zone of the cave making a tunnel (something like the bulldozer mission)
LORE: I was thinking something like BET-C, old machine forgotten in the deeps of Hoxxes after being considered too dangerous.
ATTACKS: Claws and bites, a stomp like the Dreadnought and a plasma lazer-breath.
WEAK POINTS: The D.R.4.G. dont have protection, it will receive damage all the fight, but it has a weak point in his chest. This weak point will only be directly visible when the D.R.4.G. use its stomp and plasma lazer-breath (it will rise over its hind legs and fall over the enemies close or vomit a long straight line plasma laser that destroy the terrain)
LOOT: Like any dragon, it has its treasure. In this case, its heart/core is made of valuable metals and gold. Other option is that the D.R.4.G. has taken all the valuable minerals of the zone (except red sugar and nitra) and its holding them on its body, so you wont find them around. Maybe can drop some cosmetics too.
ACHIEVEMENT: "This Dragon is Dragoff" Kill the D.R.4.G.

Still in process, but what you think? You like it? What changes or suggestions you have? Thanks for your time 😄

As of time of writing, the second phase of the heartstone battle has rocks float over above the dozer before smashing down. However, many engineers have figured out that by simply putting a roof of platforms above the drill dozer, the rocks harmlessly shatter on the platforms and the dozer takes no damage. It's kind of a buzz kill for me when you don't need to worry about the rocks anymore because of this.

I am not suggesting to make this no longer a viable strategy, but right now it is overpowered since it does not seem like the rocks do any damage to the platforms on impact. I suggest that the rocks should be stopped by platform material, but the engineer will need to consistently replace the platforms as rocks hit them and create holes.

Liquid mineral deposits

Theese can be encountered in any biome, depending on the color, they hold a large amount of a single mineral. You call in a pumpjack that has a small canister rocket on it and activate it with a button. While the pumpjack fills the rocket, you have to deal with a swarm that tries to destroy the pumpjack. Fail and you go on empty handed but win and the payout of that mineral will be alot. Single missions might hold multiple of theese deposits but the waves get harder and harder on each one.

A quality of life suggestion for engineers: Seeing as waiting for the turret to come back into your inventory refills its ammo, and that relocating the turret doesn't refill its ammo and it takes its sweet time landing into position, I think the build time for a relocated sentry should be shorter than one you deploy from the inventory.

Logically this would make sense since to fit in the engineer's pockets the sentry needs to make itself tiny, but if it's just relocating it wouldn't need to completely deconstruct.

Gameplay wise, this would make the relocating mechanic for turrets a more valid strategy for when its not low/out of ammo.

Remove the ranking system. The ranking system, aside from being nearly useless, has basically only served as a way to divide the community. You judge them if they have too many levels, you judge them if they don't have enough. I've caught myself many a time thinking "Great, another Bronze." when I play public lobbies. But more often than not, lower ranked players/newer players, have shown more willingness to learn and cooperate with their team than higher ranked players. Higher ranked players effectively become one man teams after a while, they do things on their own, and if other people don't catch up, they are the ones at fault. By removing the Veterancy, you force players to judge each other on their skill and teamwork, rather than some arbitrary number or rank. Are you a good team player? No? You run off ahead and blame the rest of the team for not following behind you?
The Mod support update got delayed because of concerns from players about the ranking system. Modded players will get ranks faster by using xp mods. Without ranks, there would not only be less discrimination, but basically no other problems for mod support.
It's just a number people. Having the bigger number isn't important.

I have two suggestions:

Elite enemies should be enhanced versions of the original enemies that are superior to the original at filling their niche. Basically keep the spirit of the original but turn it up a notch.
Examples:
Elite Mactera Grabber: Visually more streamlined looking, maybe a colour change too, Noticeably different audio cue from original grabber so you can tell it is an elite, lastly make it faster and make it prioritise vertical movement once it has grabbed someone so it is more likely to drop them from a dangerous height.

Elite Grunt Guard: Visually more bulky, a bit more health, When it is "guarding" bullets shot at its forelimbs have a chance to ricochet back at the player.

Elite Glyphid Warden: Make them a different colour, make them faster, Change the buff they provide to make it so the allies move much faster but reduce the defensive bonus by half.

These are just examples for my idea. Nothing has to be done exactly to this but the main idea is just make them better at doing their niche not make them universally better in all base stats.

Second suggestion: Home Brew Powder change. For this example I will be using the Bulldogs version. Base damage is reduced to 75% have a 50% or 33% chance whatever makes more sense, to fire a powerful shot that does the full 200% damage with a noticeable "heavier" audio cue when fired with more recoil and a half second delay added to the firing of the next shot. I feel this change will make it more fun to use so players can "feel" it working because it will appear more impactful when that lucky shot is fired. May not be the top of the line overclock after the change but fun is important.

GK2 Buff rocknstone : Some form of damage/ammo buff. The +25 ammo in the update was a step in the right direction but it wasn't substantial enough to solve ammo efficiency with the GK2. Honestly the GK2 needs more done to it in terms of the base weapon and the mediocre clean overclocks to make it "competitive" to other overclocks such as Bullets of Mercy.

Gunner Weapon Suggestion:

The Thunka M12

(Sidearm)

"A classic weapon concept, almost nothing more to say than to be carefull with the trigger."

6 shot revolver style grenade launcher lobbing bouncy Frag Grenades with a 5 second fuse.

Could be adapted with overclocks to use other grenade types from the game

How about adding some custom cave generation for Salvage Operation mission type, that reflects that cave was pre-surveyed by other team? For example, adding some driller's tunnels, marks from C4 explosions, ziplines, some mineral deposits would have Engie platforms next to them, maybe inert flares from flare gun stuck in the walls and ceiling, that would give some light after being shot? I think that would add nice flavor to these missions

gunnergrin Gunner Weapon Idea: BG11K (Big Gun 11000) “Our most maniacal gunsmiths have crafted this weapon of mass destruction… The “Big Gun” 11000, utilizing the latest plasma technology to send fiery balls of justice towards the glyphid swarms. Note: does not result in any ripping or tearing ”. 👀
Just like a hand held mortar, only fancier! Launch a ball of green plasma temporarily into the air, dealing damage to enemies flying into the plasma ball and raining low damage electrocuting plasma that slows and weakens any glyphid unfortunate enough to be caught underneath the weapon (has a somewhat low accuracy). Has a low ammo pool.
Overclock ideas…
rocknstone Rapid firing plasma balls, dealing low single target dmg, but having a penetration value and status effects to rip and tear through grunts. Increased ammo pool.
Charged plasma attacks that cause the plasma ball to explode on command, dealing aoe damage in an immediate radius and causing low damage burning plasma goo to fall down (Just like those annoying macteras).
rocknstone Charged beam that can shoot at airborn plasma balls to overclock them, allowing them to last for a longer period, with decreasing damage until an explosion occurs, stunning and weakening glyphids for a significant time.

Mission suggestion:

Helium 3 Harvest.

"The solar activity of the Hoxes system increased dramatically in the last few years and it seems that the stars solar winds contain large amounts of Helium 3. Literal Star Fuel.

Management wants you to go out and set up as well as defend the collector equipment.

Being Underground will serve as protection from the worst radiation. The solar winds seem to travelnthrough Hoxxes natural cave and vent systems like the occasional storms you are used from the glacial strata... Be very carefull of jets made of plasma and radiation."

Its simmilar to On site refinement but the dearves will need to defent the equipment from the onslought of glyphids in the area while having to avoid periodic solar winds irradiating the area. Having to seek shelter or be burned by the stellar fury!

The equipment could either be something like solar nets or a fleet of modified Dorettas gathering the HE3 particles on the cave surfaces bombarded by solar winds

The mission could be a more payout the longer you stay deal!

Keep in mind, server admins have the ability to choose which announcement posts will be published and sent to your server through Channel Following. If you're missing an announcement post, it's likely the admins have chosen to not publish that post.
