Me and my uncle, who also plays this game with me, had a thought based on the main menu splash screen.
We saw the gunner having a cigar on the job.
We thought, why not we have a "mouth" cosmetic slot for things like cigars, cigarettes, smoke pipes, etc. to go with our beards and mustaches. Of course, they should be hidden when wearing any complete face-covering helmets or masks.

In light of several instances I've experienced, I wouldn't mind having miners who leave during a round either to have their minerals deposited directly or have them dropped onto the ground where they left the game.

Broken Flares - Warning - Your F key broke, so now you cannot throw your flares around. You need to rely on Scout’s flare gun, your flashlight and special balls attached to MULE and Resupply Pods.

<wip name> smoke bug: it has low hp and lets off a big cloud of smoke when it dies, obscuring your vision. Could be very dangerous if you kill it in the wrong place, adding a level of focus and tactics required when fighting off swarms.

Idea of mechanic for driller of passive ability to take back axes used on frozen enemies.
It can be axe as secondary that can be use as melee secondary. It can mine better than pickaxe and have melee attacks effective finisher for frozen enemies. With those mechanic it can be interesting alternative for plasma mining. Also maybe ability to be thrown and return back, like Kratos one.
Or same thing with not wasting axes as a form of OC for cryo gun.

Be able to keep firing if you walk, sprint and then walk again.

"Wait why am I not firing after stopping the sprint" Think it only happens to Driller's and Gunner's primary weapons. As far as I've experienced.

Adding water pools or small lakes to maps, the dwarves sink in the water so it’s more uses for movement equipment and adds more upgrade possibilities, zip lines could act as glow sticks in water (if it were murky or etc) Platforms could act as sponges and reduce water levels or produce oxygen. Scouts hook could pull things out of water ( maybe dwarves? Or haulables?) and drillers could make rooms underneath the water to drain the area.
I think this could have more cane gen options and potentially a entire biome with a water focus, aswell as more creatures, a bug which pulls dwarves under the water? Bugs could use the water ways to flank players if they don’t look through the water or swim on top of it? So grunts and swarmers can be hidden from view even in a open room as they are crawling on the lake floor, while bigger bugs have to move around it? With the bugs in water they could be suspect to effects, ice could freeze them on the surface making platforms of ice? Electric could effect all enemies in the water for a weaker effect? Fire would be ineffective tho.
Maybe we could fish during missions or have missions featuring sea beast hunts? Or having water flood into a room pulls players and bugs with it? And maybe have water that flows upward for weirdness?
Idk I just want dwarves fishing.

I'm confident this has been suggested before, but customizable pet glyphids? Could perhaps rework the beastmaster perk to where you simply resummon your own glyphid after a cooldown.

I have an idea of a new passive perk: Mining Mastery or Harvester
(Tier 1 ) "Through all the digging and mining, you're getting the hang of mining minerals. Now you can mine out minerals with 1 less pickaxe hit."
(Tier 2) "Through all the digging and mining, you're getting the hang of mining minerals. Now you can mine out minerals at a LARGER CARVE with 1 less pickaxe hit."
Similar to the concept of the Rocky Mountain Beer that causes less picking required for digging rock and dirt. This one is a perk that can make less picking required to mine out Minerals, meaning that with 2 hits to mine Gold, Bismor, Hollomite, etc. this perk will make it take only 1 hit to mine said minerals, for example. At tier 2, it would also cause a wider cut-out when mining any minerals.

Could there be another novelty beer that, when ingested, causes your dwarf to appear "spaced out"... And at the same time send him to a tiny platforming course that takes place within his mind? The course could be a single, unchanging one... or there could be one for each class. Such as the Engineer jumping around on rotating sentries towards a giant lightbulb -- a huge idea of his, or the Gunner riding bullets shot out of one of his guns towards a giant sandwich... If the course if completed under a certain time limit (and you don't fall out of bounds), you could be awarded with an achievement for discovering what's really going on inside of each dwarf's mind

similarly to how mutators can now occasionally appear with two to a mission, could we get multiple secondary objectives on some missions? The voice lines from mission control already treat them like there might be multiple, but still work for just one.

It wouldn't be excluded from assignments

so i have a big idea i know the new biomes update came out but i have a pretty cool idea for a biome im not sure if you guys tried tackling it but what about a underwater biome first of all here is my reasoning you have a ton of plants in hoxxes but where do the plants get there water from well you might say the underground rain well where does that come from well what about the ice biome well it isnt melting well it could come from this underwater biome and this is what it would look like to landing dwarves i do not have any sketches right now but i will post them soon. pod lands dwarves walk out and see this huge cavern (as usual) that is half above water half below water the land has a more arid and rocky appearance pun not intended with small shells which could be refrenced to the glyphid swarmers maybe growing up and losing there old tiny shells there could be rocks jutting out of the ground or it could just be sand now you maybe wondering well this seems to big for a small cave but this is where the water comes in you could have a small room with a few shells and then just a pond in the middle that leads to a underwater tunnel that leads to the next room you could also have big caverns others may wonder well will there be a dwarf swimming animation not necassarily the dwarfs can be to heavy so they sink to the bottom (dwarves in dnd dwarf fortress and all these other games shows dwarves has swimming issues too) so they could walk underwater the mule will fit right in cause it might be water proof now people will also ask how
are dwarves breathing underwater well they can have little scuba masks equipped to explore the depths (no pun intended) and to make this intresting you can make it so the dwarves have to refill there tanks after a while and they can do this by getting oxygen crystals or rocks or whatever you want to make it so the dwarves have to mine it every few minutes or resurface so then you might ask well the glyphids cant go underwater do you know what the great diving beetle is watch this vid if you dont https://youtu.be/Hwqja6FWUzA so the glyphids like the great diving beetle can use there shells as a scuba tank so they can still chase dwarves underwater then other wildlife can live there too now do you know what a bobbit worm is if you dont watch this vid https://youtu.be/K_7ByiYbCYM you could have a hoxxes bobbit worm tha feeds off of huuli horders and loot bugs how it hunts is its jaws are made from the minerals you can find such as nitra gold morkite and it looks like the materials except for the fact that it has a pinkish glow thats hard to see making it a bit hard to differentiate the hoxxes bobbit worm from actual minerals underwater and when you kill it you get the minerals its jaw was made from you might also ask what about the surface well you could have surfing snails that are nice and or mean that eat you via harpoon or the other bugs your choice these are also based off of cone snails irl also on surface you can have geysers that shoot scolding hot water now what about plant life you can have coral and glowing plants underwater as well i put a lot of time into this idea PLEASE tell me what you think i will post sketches a bit later i hope u like it sorry for this being a 2 or 3 part thing to read

would not really expect this to become an actual thing, but just putting the though here, an actual PvP mode: mineral merger, corporate's found a cave FILLED with minerals, so big enough that they've had the idea to send down TWO teams in specialized drop pods and use some "friendly competitive incitement" to get them to mine faster. both teams drop down into separate parts of the cavern system, and race to see who can hit their mineral quota first. unlike normal missions, any excess minerals gathered after the quota is met will count towards post mission rewards, and there is a strict 15 minute time limit(which can be bypassed if both teams hit their quota and decide to hit the return button). as for ACTUAL PvP elements, you can't damage other players directly, BUT hitting damage thresholds will knock some loot out of their mineral bag(which they specifically can't pick up for 5 seconds) but DO keep in mind, there are STILL bug swarms coming, so you need to weight the offset of nailing the enemy team's pockets vs surviving the next swarm. additional note, supply pods can only be dropped withing a radius of a team's drop pods, and no taking ammo from enemy supplies

Contextual salutes for your mining machine friends. When you press the good ole "Rock and Stone" while looking at Doretta, Bosco, Molly, or even a Turret, the dwarves should say something nice to them! BET-C is not included, as she is a terrifying murder machine and the dwarves are afraid of her.

Give each dwarf two or three sub-classes. Like the gunner could have a more damage heavy sub-class that gives him a lot more health and damage but at the cost of having even lower mobility, maybe it could be when firing his primary gun he cant move but he gets a front facing shield that has the same amount of durability as his actually shield and then his special could be replaced with something else and than for his other sub-class it could be that he is a lot more supportive but at the cost of having less damage and health so his primary could be something that doesn't fire as quick but does enough for him to still be a like a gunner his special could be something that when used increases the fire rate of his teammates. The engineers sub-classes could be something were one allows him to do a lot more AOE so his turrets could be artillery cannons that at the cost of having an extreme decrease in amount of ammo that both you and the turrets can hold and have less range, and his other class could have more mobility and be more supportive so instead of placing down the turrets he would have them mount on him so the damage would suffer but it would allow him to be restrained to a single spot these turrets would take ammo directly instead or him having to reload manually. As for scout and driller i'm a bit unsure scout would definitely have a medic sub-class and as for driller i fell like having something were he can place down stuff he drills would be cool but all of this can be down with new guns or new overclock's

I have a cool idea for a new Mactera. It has indestructible armour on the front, but quite a large weak spot just behind the shield. It fires exploding AoE projectiles that have substantial knock back, but quite a medium amount of time winding up (like 2 seconds longer than Mactera Spawn). What it looks like is, from the front, kind of like an Enforcer (with the red stripes) but a round plate of armour. It has about 8 eyes each side of it's head, with an obvious organic grenade launcher (just a tube) on top of it's head. It fires projectiles over the shield at dwarves, and they have a lot of drop to them. Also, because their projectiles have a lot of drop, the Mactera itself flies closer to you than other Mactera, meaning it's shield can protect multiple enemies behind it. Haven't quite come up with a name for it, because things like Blitzer or Boomer sound too similar to Bomber, a species of Mactera already implemented. But maybe something like Launcher could work? I dunno. I think it's cool.

I was thinking maybe a secondary objective where the loot bugs in the cave have a disease that is killing them, and because they are helpful to dwarves, you have to go round injecting loot-bugs with the cure, and if you kill a cured loot-bug the number goes down (about 10-15) and you can't cure the same loot-bug twice. And so you can see if they are infected they are, like glowing red or something. and there is a special animation when you inject one (going up to an infected one and holding E) where you pull out a massive syringe needle and you hold the bug down and inject it. Could be called Injection Duty or whatever.

Maybe add pets that follow you so you can have a baby loot bug on your shoulder or have a new friendly mactera fly behind you it. They'd stay close so other dwarfs wouldn't mistake it for an actual enemy. They would be rare and would be found on the ground like the lost helmets. You'd be able to change them in the wardrobe and maybe you can buy some like a little mule or a little drilldozer?

Steeve Nest
"Alright boys. You know all those bugs you've been taming? The ones that didn't get killed? Well it seems they have started grouping together and making nests. Now they are propagating. Company want you to set up some observation devices too keep an eye on them and see what happens. Other bugs, not Steeve bugs, are going to be attached to the noise. Keep the Steeves safe while you set up the observation equipment or you will fail the mission"
Rough outline of an idea. The observation equipment could be something silly like a camera on a tri pod pointed at a nest. The Steeves would probably have to be painted a different color so you don't shoot them by accident.
Feel free to point out how terrible an idea this is

allow secondary objective items to spawn infrequently in missions that dont have them (example: a few chunks of dystrum and an alpaca bloom in a mission that has the ebonut secondary objective), this is primarily to make caves feel more lively. could also apply to deep dives

If there will be no any "treasure room" on a Space Rig, add something like opened "small high-security crates" in a dwarf's Cabins in Communal Area.
There will be gold (or "physical equivalent of credits") inside that crates. Amount of gold in a crates depends on amount of credits, same with amount of crates (3-5 crates maximum).
True dwarf will keep his gold nearby him, at least a part of it, as a "stash for a bad day".
quick vigil
Since we only have a single example of the uniquely parasitic Xynarch species (Charge Suckers), while every other species has several variations, my proposal would be to fill those ranks out a little bit. To keep the current theme of corrupting company equipment, maybe another variant could latch on to something like the Drilldozer. Like the BET-C model of M.U.L.E., a special Dozer with heavy armaments and armor could be found rarely in missions, broken down and seemingly inert. It's event could be a spin on the escort missions we are used to seeing Doretta in, only instead of escorting to its goal, we have to prevent it from reaching its goal. Xynarch(s) corrupt it to dig a path to, and ultimately destroy, key company installations

What if there was some sort of uncommon blue energy crystal that complements red sugar by having its energy be absorbed by the Dwarves' armor and subsequently recharge their shields a little bit over time when they stand by it?

Just a suggestion. It would be cool to get a medal 🏅🎖 when you complete a weekly deep dive. It could show next to you characters icon a bit like the pick axe symbol. Obviously it expires each week and you have to re-earn it. Just thought it would be a good incentive and reward for doing the deep dives. Defo need a medal after last weeks EDD 😆
If not a medal, may be completing both deep dives could unlock a clothing item just for that week. 👑
Could be t-shirt……“ I did the deep dive and all I got was this lousy t-shirt” 😂

I have no idea if this has been suggested yet, but I will make a suggestion anyway:
When unlocking a perk, you must go to Equipment terminal to equip it.
But when buying a mod for a gun/tool, you equip it instantly.
And with cosmetics, you get a window asking "Do you want to equip this cosmetic now?"
My suggestion is to make gun/tool mods not equipped automatically [like with perks] to avoid scenarios like this:
Purchasing a mod for a different loadout, then going on a mission with your preferred loadout except that one mod that you really take advantage of a lot.
And with cosmetics, make it so you have to go to a wardrobe to equip the cosmetic. In addition, you can just add a note "Equip cosmetics at a wardrobe" after purchasing a cosmetic and "Equip perks at the Equipment terminal" after unlocking a perk, or just put signs on the screen.

A setting for minimum rank requirement when opening a game to public. Similar to the way it is for deep dives but withe the ability to raise or lower the rank requirement. This would help keep newer players out of hazard 5 lobbies and becoming a burden for the team. It would both help the team and the new player. The team would benefit from not having to carry and deal with the aggravation of the new player calling resupply drops just to get health for example. At the same time the new player would not get discouraged from dying over and over not understanding what is going on.

New mutator: deadly dark. Glyphids now come with a buff that increases their damage AND speed, but only when outside of an "unnatural light source" (AKA flares). When in range of a flare, the buff will quickly decay untill it's permanently gone. Mutator will not show up in missions with static light sources(refinery, point extraction, escort)
bright marten
No flares mission, just your headlight and light that comes from glowing minerals.
random lintel
For the Escort Duty mission type:
-
Remove molly initially and make the mineral dump part of Doretta. Then on the return portion, eject a mule from Doretta and have it run back to recover the minerals that you've gathered. Its just kind of a hassle to to tell the mule to keep up when you're focused on Doretta as it moves. Other large structures like the drop pod have mineral dumps. Why not Doretta?
-
Remove the fuel canisters and just use simple mining and dump into Doretta for the Oil shale. Its been my anecdotal experience that no one wants to pick up the fuel canisters. I think because it slows you down and restricts movement like using your pick to clear obstacles, thus making the main objective less fun than just going around and picking up minerals. When side objectives are more fun to do than the main objectives, it makes for a worse mission type in any video game.

New Glyphid Species, The Sapper:
Unlike helping bugs GET to the battlefield like its sibling the digger, it helps bugs STAY in the battlefield. When the sapper spawns, it immediately runs away the battlefield to start up a "base" where it creates web wires, digs up small holes in the ground as traps, creates concrete like walls using a special secretio etc etc. When finished, all alive bugs will go to this base to reconvene and strategize meaning that the ai will become smarter and attack at certain like when a dwarf accidentally falls and loses alot of health. The only way to stop this thing is the break past its defenses, kill the sapper and destroy the main structure where the sapper lays its eggs, making the entire structure fail. They also are a great combo to diggers, where it can spawn new bugs constantly and become smarter and doing more strategic attacks.

I enjoy turning off the HUD in games, and I appreciate the details the Devs have included such as the built-in ammo counter on your weapons, which allow me to disable more hud and still understand what is happening around me. To further improve this aspect of the game, I'd suggest a few little details that probably won't interest most people.
HUD opacity sliders. Some things are still quite important to see, so being able to turn the visibility of these down rather than outright disable them would be great. (Though the Dynamic is option is really awesome, too)
This next suggestion would be quite tricky, but what about some form of in-game compass players can see somewhere, whether it be a hold-to-view item in your hand, or something built into your equipment. I'm thinking of the Arma 3 compass here, that thing was awesome for immersion and keeping a clean HUD.
My third thought is equally tricky as point 2, but could it be possible to put a Health/Sheild bar on your gloves somewhere in sight.

Idea for a rare occurrence. If a cave has an error cube in it, and if the team deposits the cube into molly it would have a very rare chance of spawning a special swarm. Error glyphids. Functionally the same as regular glyphids except slightly faster or slower. They'd have a glitchy appearance, and if the swarm is completed without any dwarves go down the team gets an extra bonus to xp. As well as bragging rights.
Ideas for mission control announcements would be something like "attention team, be on high alert. There's a swarm of unidentified bugs on their way." "What in the name of..? There's some unidentified glyphids on their way. Be careful."

Detonator-type Dreadnought.
its attacks include; Summoning Exploders and a new guard-type exploder that only appears during this fight, lobbing a shot that explodes like basic satchel charges, an explosive stomp when players are too closr, and finally the classic detonator explosive death but with a longer fuse before it goes off to give players a chance to escape.
It's the slowest of the dreadnoughts due to how much deadlier it is, though it is smaller than a normal detonator, closer to a normal dreadnought in its size.

Suggestion of 2 new bugs:

Nitra Mimic:
I was thinking of a type of dark souls-like mimic, laying on the wall and taking form and colour of nitra (if you watch closely you'll see it move a little), and when you try to mine it It counter attacks to catch you and try to eat you. When it takes damage, it flees to hide somewhere else, as it is more of a sneaky bug -
Nitra Eater:
The second one would kinda justify the first one: A smaller insect (a bit bigger than swarmers) who loves eating nitra, just like lootbugs. It is usually the target of the mimic.
It would try to steal some nitra from your pocket as it is already in small shards. Does not deal damage, easily killed but pretty quiet. When killed, give a bit less nitra than it stoled from you, as he ate it.

The backstory is that R&D tried to genetically modify a dreadnought to be like a Steeve, however the condition of containers and multiple breaches shut down the program. There are still several of these out in the caves, and we need to destroy them before nature awakes the creature. Destroying the generators will destroy the machine and ultimately self destruct due to massive amounts of damage. (Even with the self destruct, many of the dreads escaped before it could explode. The machine might look like the refinery, except in the middle is the cocoon surrounded by metallic cover. If success is achieved, the machine will explode but deal large amounts of damage, the infuser is open. If failed, the machine either will self destruct, or open to reveal the dreadnought within, haven't picked which one tho, but if it opens up, it's a different experience than other machine events. Please point out any mistakes or gaps in the backstory so I can make this better.

Some sort of moth creature that isn't hostile, but is attracted to flares. It might get in the way taking one of your flares off the ground, but that may help, too, as it will fly around with the flare, lighting up surroundings for a little bit. It will keep the dead flare, and not pick up a new one.

ACTIVE PERK IDEA: DWARVEN RAGE
Pressing and holding the shout button will cause your dwarf to give a battle cry, stunning any bugs within melee distance and causing other nearby bugs to flee in fear (Possibly have a passive that makes nearby dwarves deal or take a bit less damage)

Would it be possible to add more "structures" or "patterns" (i don't know how to call it) to the cave generation? The caves often are similar, like big cave with riffled floor, big cave with balls in it, big cave with ways high up in the air, vertical cave etc. . More of those "types" would be cool. I think this could add to the replayability of the game.
(haven't found something like this in the search but maybe i just searched bad)
brave tide
Can smaller teams have buffed flares(maybe excluding solo)? I normally play in a 2 man team and what sucks about that is our lack of flares makes both of us feel as if scout is required from 1 of us. The buff could be like +1 flare in 3p teams +1 flare and -10% flare recharged time in 2p teams. You could even get away with somthing like +1 flare -10% flare recharge time -10% flare light duration. This would make it so I and many others in smaller teams wouldnt be forced scout, and making it so we arnt standing around nearly as much just waiting on a single flare so we can progress a bit further.

separation of this channel into two channels, one for more gameplay related things (new bugs, balance changes, hazard modifiers, overclocks, etc), and one for quality of life and cosmetic things (new voice lines, hats, strange beards, beers that'll knock your socks off, etc)
the reason why i suggest this is that the sheer number of suggestions placed here is probably a bit overwhelming for devs to sort through and a bit more order would help that
prisma prawn
An Abyss Bar daily special that gives you a higher percentage bonus to movement speed and outgoing attack damage based on how drunk you are when entering mission.
(Like, 1% bonus per point of drunkenness, or something.)

Add a 'Custom Cave Maker' that Lets you influence certain parts of cave gen. Maybe no rewards for it, but itd be neat to see all the little things that you could do with it. Maybe try to win a hazard 5 with no generated nitra, or see how long you could last with more. Would also be a nice firing-range alternative since maybe you could tweak enemy spawns/cave modifiers and see the strengths/weaknesses of your loadout
scenic nymph
Biome-specific fauna to pick up as a secondary objective. It’s weird when you’re in a completely dry desert, literally the driest place on Hoxxes, and there are the same kind of flowers and fungi growing up as in Azure Weald or other biomes. Like Glacial Strata.
A magnetic-themed biome, with the common rock being full of iron. The main gimmick of this cave would be the magnetic crystals scattered around the area. These crystals could attract mineral chunks, flares, grenades and other various projectiles made by the player. Bigger clusters could even attract dwarfs if they jump.
Another defining feature of this biome would be flying islands. Small pieces of rock suspended in the air by the surrounding magnetic crystals. These islands aren’t directly attached to the rest of the map, but if you destroy some of the crystals the island loses balance and gets destroyed.
For bonus details, some of the hud features could be broken. Like the compass or depth meter.

I've always felt that certain aspects of gameplay should change depending on how many players are in a game. I'm not talking about health or spawnrates or anything like that, but more niche things that I feel could be tweaked for solo players or full squads.
The first I would suggest is speeding up the flare recharge speed the fewer dwarfs are in a mission. As it stands, with a full squad, it really isn't an issue, as there are four players throwing flares and 95% of the time there's a scout with a flare gun. When playing solo, however, it is so agonizingly dark that playing anything other than scout is borderline masochistic. Your headlamp and Bosco's light feature are jokes, and based in a game about finding things, this can be incredibly frustrating.
The second would be to increase the area of defense around objectives (Salvage satellites, black boxes, etc.) the more dwarfs are in a mission. This would fix the issue of having friendly fire incidents, full-team wipes, as well as Detonator shenanigans. I have seen a lot of complaints about Detonators spawning on "Defend the point" objectives, and while I agree they are incredibly annoying when they do spawn, I don't dislike the concept in and of itself. Some players might like the chaotic nature of being packed like sardines around a single point, but I feel that more room to spread out and let individuals take their own angle of attack would be beneficial without sacrificing that chaos.
near glacier
Add a mutator (negative modifier) where bug's movement speed increases when the dwarves are standing still. Make it stack so if everyone is moving, the bugs move normally, and it increases the more dwarves stand still. (standing still on the dozer counts as not moving)

A NEW BREW! 
The Original Knuckleback Brew!
Description/backstory:
Known to radiate raw strength - The Knuckleback Brew - is a natural go-to for any dwarf seeking to DESTROY!
Side-effects include: Overwhelming strength, Super-dwarf speed, Slight temptation to punch fellow crewmates and EXTREME aggravation.
Effect ideas:
1.
When an enemy hits you, hit back harder!
+35 Base Pickaxe damage after getting hit (lasts 6 seconds, 10s cooldown). 
2.
When an enemy hits you, hit back harder!
+300% Base Pickaxe damage after getting hit (lasts 4 seconds, 16s cooldown).
(Suggested by @round sail, tweaked by me).
(Effects can be tweaked to your liking).
Potency: Strong.

Class-specific 'calls' would be nice. Like if you press X it does a call as normal, but if you hold it down it opens a radial menu with the four classes and you can select one (if that class is present in your match) and have your character say like "Need a scout over here!" or "Engineer, with me!". Combining it with laser-pointer pings can let you give directions to specific classes (e.g. Asking for a scout to follow you then pinging Nitra). Love the current communication options, just thought that'd be a nice way to expand it 🙂
EDIT: Alternatively/alongside the mentioned radial menu, it could play the class voice calls when your crosshairs are over a player character and you hit X (similar to how they use class specific voice lines in TF2 where you call out for Spy when you're looking at a teammate!)
simple crag
No doubt this was already suggested before, but it can’t hurt to tell my take on it: have the fire and ice attacks (Main example, Driller’s Primaries) have more versatility in terrain control. As an example, shooting the Cryo Cannon at the magma rocks from explosions and the quakes should cool it down to normal terrain. It could also affect the goop you find in the Bogs; If you use fire, it goes away, but if you use ice, it turns into smooth ice, giving you pathings that can outrun the bugs. (The ice is a bit of a stretch, but it felt like a fun idea to mention) I did test some other things, like fire in the Glacial biome working, and was surprised it did. With this idea, it can give more options and strategies to make and forge paths, especially with Drillers, as their way of helping the team is to forge paths for themselves and others.

new overclock for BRT7: megadump, increases magazine slightly, VASTLY increases bullets fired, increases shot spread(in the bad way), increases reload time. dreadnoughts got you down? use this extensively modified magazine and fire mechanism combo to dump an entire mag's worth of ammo into their behind!

New hazard: Scanner Disruption
Basically, any hazards or modifiers are hidden until you land, so it could be any combination of hazard/modifier and/or double hazard.
As an additional feature, because of the disruption, the compass doesn't work, or maybe the laser pointer gives inconsistent distances.
(For clarity, the point of something like this would be to give players a chance to test their ability to adapt and bring a kit that is as generally prepared for anything as possible, instead of being able to always have gear that trivializes most of the existing hazards.)
spring adder
I've been wondering what should we do with excess minerals, and I figured that dwarven way is to do absolutely nothing. A proper dwarf has a solid greedy streak, likes to gather and marvel over gold and other tastey minerals, so:
The Treasury in the Space Rig
This room, located near memorial hall should serve as a proud storage of dwarf's wealth. Rows upon rows of glass containers filled to the brim with precious (and tastey) minerals can bring a tear of joy to any who witnesses this.

This is probably suggested before but since we will have new weapons, maybe the total slots of per class could increase to 5 from 3

Description: There is a glyphid hive that has grown too big for safety. Your job is to go into the center of this hive, order a nuke-it set that requires assembly and then prime it long enough to allow it to last long enough to blow up the whole hive in the area before being destroyed by the bugs.
The drop ship show up in the same room nearby, 30 seconds before the prime time marker and then after that point of time, you have 1 minute to escape before the can leaves you behind to get blasted to Kingdom Come along with the hive.
You will have Molly with the crew and the recall will happen when the drop ship shows up.

"RnD whipped this one up for all you speed demons; the Force Converter - leeches your hard earned momentum for an even stronger bang! Only thing is all the gizmos they had to add on means the shells are clunkier, so you can't take as many, and do be careful reloading."

One of my favorite things about this game is the bulk detonator, chunky boy, as I call them. Now, why would you love that malignant beast? The game would legitimately be worse without it, like croakers in payday.
The rush of pant shitting fear I get whenever I see one is beautiful. The horrible and resonant sound of it ripping the cave to shreds. The screams of my crew as we make a mad dash to get anywhere but there. So I present, an alternative, more common variant of the bulk detonator: cavestalker leviathan.
The principle of this giant beast: it is a horrible beast that depends on stealth and hit and run tactics, being a menace in your run for longer, less damaging time. Rather than the bulks temporary, more chaotic time. The design of this beast would be more tarantula like, with 11 glowing eyes being the sign youre about to meet god.
This giant thing would slowly crawl on the walls, all light sources around it will naturally darken and or dim, it’s skin acting like Vantablack, absorbing all of it. When it does find you, it will stalk you for a little while, the longer it stalks you, the faster it will be when it enters its attack phase, rewarding players for being observant. maybe have some sound cues. maybe music that gets more intense as it’s about to strike.
Once it deems the time is right, it will roar, entering its attack phase. Then, this dreadful thing will hunt you down, taking the long way to cut you off.
Once it downs at least one person, it will return to the stalking phase.
Mission control should probably say something once one has spawned, maybe “something big just popp- Where did it go?!”
Why this boss is a good idea: really return the fear of knowing that god has left you and has been replaced with a massive spider. The thrill of hunting it while it’s hunting you would be great
Why this boss kinda sucks: to some players I can see why they would think this is unfair, having what is essentially a mobile stabber vine prowl your cave.

Whenever you're in the pod at the end waiting on team mates, if you stand in the seat you can get blocked by another team mate.

make lootbug size vary based on how much stuff it has in it, having them start at 50% of the current size with maybe +2% of the current size per mineral, and this would also result in a few really comedic runs where a loot bug is fed everything to get to like 10x normal size

new mission modifier: thrifty. due some slight mismanagement the company's nitra quota for the month is under par. to rectify this, new "mini" supply pods have been developed. cost less nitra(50 vs 80), but only contain half as much supplies(either only two ammo bundles, or 4 25% ones). needless to say, this is the only support you will be receiving for this mission(aside from bosco, molly, and other usual elements)

New boss type enemy:
Glyphid Megaton Detonator
This boss is only encountered through random boss encounters during a mission.
Mission control interrupts the normal mission with a message: "Uh oh, this isn't good... Scanners just detected a Megaton Detonator. Unfortunately, you guys just woke it up. We'll get that medivac sent right now."
When the boss spawns, it creates a pocket outside of the normal cave system and digs towards the dwarves with a very frequent carve attack. After the Megaton det breaches the wall, the combat begins.
The Megaton det has a relatively large Dread tier health pool and is covered in armor featuring 3 weak spots akin to a regular bulk det. These crit spots deal a heavy crit bonus, but break in an explosion after damaged enough, exposing weak spots at a decreased advantage encouraging (This exploding crit spot mechanic should be carried over to regular and crassus dets imo)
The Megaton det has 2 main attacks as well as a cool af death animation.
Upon assault, the Megaton Det lobs Explosive bombs at a player, prioritizing groups as its' target. These bombs are to be similar to the death projectiles tossed by the bulk det on death. The difference is a slower projectile speed and the ability to shoot the bombs down. They will instantly down you if you get hit by them, so either prioritizing point defense or dodging is essential. The boss also moves towards a player as a bulk det does, attempting to use its explosive slam attack similar to a bulk det, maybe even more fatal causing a crater below it. Maybe give the slam a special effect of a mushroom cloud or a spray of cluster bombs.
On death, the megaton det pauses like a bulk det, it then sprays a chaotic barrage of cluster bombs before final blasting with a massive carve and bonus clusters providing a wonderful fanfare to end the boss fight.
maybe have mission control say "You guys managed to survive? Impressive, however, don't expect any bonuses for that."

oh, as a side note, Elite threat missions should have an increased chance in causing a boss enemy incursion.

Suggestion: Class Specific Special Lighting -- how it works: Each class would have a large cooldown class specific method of lighting up a huge cave similar to how a scout can with several flares. I don't know how long this "super flare" would last, or its method of application, but I do think it would be neat to have the ability from any class at any point to completely illuminate a massive room. Some of the larger caves have extremely large rooms in them full of detail and you just can't see 90% of it because it's dark. I love the darkness, don't get me wrong, but it's a damn shame that some of these really cool areas are SO dark it's impossible to grasp the full scope of what you're looking at... cause that flare you threw went 10 feet and rolled off a 48m cliff and found its way down a steam shaft haha. -- edit this lighting would be short lived, long enough to get a good look, take a screen shot or two, take in the view and fade out

Mission Type: Queen Elimination Similar to the weekly deep dives their is a new sort of mission, that the dwarfs can do once a week. Brave scouts got us the intel over the position of the long theorized Gliphid Queen, who is breeding more and more bugs, as we speak. To prevent our miners from beeing overrun later on, we are striking first and eliminating the threat. A new Queen will develop over time (next weeks reset), but its time for some population control. We are going into a "new region" that we didnt visit previously, because it has little to no natural minerals. Thats why our team is first stopping in another region, to collect the necessary resources. But be warned. Swarms will increase over time in an attempt to stop us, so be fast. After collecting resources, our team goes deeper (similar to a DD) and uses what they got to find a way to the Queen, who is protected by all kinds of bugs and will attempt to hatch more eggs. (The player could have the option to destroy laid eggs, before the Queen can hatch them). To make it more interesting, we could get a defensive or offensive machine, to help us fight (I was thinking, a Drilldozer, without the drill and with guns.) that could implement the need to refuel it, like a drilldozer
quick tangle
Me and my friends have been loving the game and we have thought of a neat detail that might add more worldbuilding to the game and some extra things to consider when choosing classes.
Classes could have slight differences in attributes based in what they are and would logically do/need/have experience with:
Scout could be said to have less armour and equipment than the other dwarves, and as such have less base health (or maybe lower shields would be more appropriate) but a higher base movement speed
Gunner could have the opposite in a lower movement speed and higher base health (or shields)
Driller could be more attuned to digging or tunneling by having a (slightly) more intense headtorch, or a permanent "rocky mountain" beer perk where terrain needs one less hit to be broken (which would stack with rocky mountain)
Engineer im less sure about but there is a lot of potential for him due to the amount of machinery in drg. Mollie could arrive to an engineer faster than the other dwarves due to perhaps a stronger homing signal, or his experience could mean that he repairs fuel cells, mini mules, uplinks, fuelcells and betsy's faster than the others. Alternatively, im mot sure the explaination for this, but he could also have a higher base jump height to make better use of his platforms
I think this is an idea that would not be very unbalanced but would add a neat bit of worldbuilding and more nuance in picking classes

Make the terrain scanner not apart of the HUD. Since some people enjoy playing HUD-less and the terrain scanner is rather vital. maybe even put your current health and shields there too, since those are also removed from the HUD

Suggestion for GK2 OC : Electrifying Reload
As it stands right now, ER is crippled by the fact that regardless of how many bullets you shoot into an enemy, the electric DoT deals the same amount of damage (Plus some enemies are completely immune to it).
I suggest changing Electrifying Reload so it works the same way as Embedded Detonators and inflicts X amounts of electric damage on reload depending on how many bullets you shoot, on top of electrocuting your target for X seconds. (TBD depending on how GSG wants to balance it).
It could have the same downsides as other reload based OC, meaning reduced weapon damage and max ammo.
This way, it would be more powerful and versatile while being balanced out by enemy resistances.

I thougjt it would be cool to have it be extra long missions where you scout the terrain,meaning that you explore the cave the maximum you can and depending on how far you get you are rewarded more or less.
The ñebgth of the cave could be made to last two or even three times the usual given that it would emulate the feeling of going deeo into the wild just exploring,without one concrete goal.

I know this isn't realistic to expect within this game and I'm not sure if there's going to be a sequel but I really want more complexity in the mining of resources in caves, perhaps with larger veins of minerals that aren't easily accessible, compensated by special tools for each class that allow the extraction of minerals with the same level of complexity as is currently available with normal tools. This of course would be something like equipment overclocks, only accessible after promotion. For ex. driller can slightly implant an explosive pack into a wall or scouts scanner can detect minerals within walls.

Game Feature: R&D Requisition Token
Once a week (or less frequently) allow Dwarves to earn a token that allows them to acquire one specific OC or Cosmetic of their choice. The current system works great, but I feel there should be one way to get a specific OC. Possibly a reward for completing both Deep Dives, or a new assignment entirely.
Not sure how possible it is, but it would be cool if as part of the R&D Assignment, you had to "test" a specific Overclock for them during the mission.

Hi! It’s me, ~~ Troy mclure ~~ joaquom the wizard, you may know me from such ideas as “comically large tarantulas” and “oh god theres a bug on the rig!” And today I present a problem, glyphids are just not getting what they deserve! So I present a class proposition: the spelunker
Now, have you ever wanted to punch a glyphid? Of course you have, the spelunkers primary weapons are the “CENT Boulderers gauntlets” operating a somewhat slow attack speed but with enough punch to turn anything you want into past tense! Upgrades include: fearful punch, stunning punch, explosive punch???!11
As a traversal tool, the spelunker can activate his gloves and scuttle up the walls up to 85 degree angles with ease like the little goblin bastard he is.
His utility? “Kali multiuse exoskeleton” have you ever thought you need more hands? Well, with the Kali, 2 more hands will sprout out of your backpack and have the ability to do many things! Of course, they only have so much battery and range but they can: hold things for you! Pick up dead teammates while you fight! And assist in mining!
His secondary? You ever heard of a little thing called a gyro jet pistol? Yeah, deep rock galactify that. High damage at longer range, weaker damage at closer range.
Grenade? Somme concerntina bomb! Throw one of them bad boys down and you’ve got a “fuck anything that steps into that” area!
Thank you and I’ll see you on tomorrow nights episode of “making the DRG discord server reconsider how dumb something has to be before it is truly too dumb”!

Enemy/flora idea. Sugarplant and Sugarplant mimic.
The sugar plant is a plant that has a chance to spawn in any cave where flora is common or occasionally seen (such as fungus bogs, azure weald, etc) red sugar crystals form on the leaves of this plant. Dwarves can interact with these to regain half of any missing health. So their usefulness goes up the more hurt a dwarf is.
But, there's a chance it could be a mimic. A specially adapted cousin of the cave leech that uses red sugar to attract hoxxes wildlife. And dwarves. If a dwarf interacts with one it will grab the dwarf. Similar to the cave leech, and then slowly causing damage over time. Upon death it will let go of the dwarf and drop a single red sugar chunk worth 10-25 health. It can be revealed as a false sugarplant via quiet clicking noises it emits, or the heightened senses perk. And with the heightened senses, when a dwarf pings it they will say something along the lines of "careful, this one seems odd." Or "smells funny.."

Idea for a weapon. The HEB-MK3. Or the heavy explosive ballistabow mark 3.
The HEB is a large crossbow type weapon fires large explosive bolts. The bolt latches into it's target, and then explodes. Used by the driller as a secondary, it can either be used as a pseudo grenade launcher or as a long range option. Helping with the drillers lack of great direct damage options.
Balancing it's AoE potential, direct damage and range, it's slow firing and slow reloading. Not to mention it's a projectile and not hitscan. Also with it having an arc rather than being a traditional gun.
Lorewise, (as much lore DRG has) it was originally designed for long range demolition and mining, but miners soon found out it was also quite a suitable large game weapon. So plenty of modifications later, it's now a suitable weapon against the crawlies of hoxxes

A game mode that's a wave based survival mode, the bugs drop a small amount of nitra when you kill them and you have a platform in the center of the cave to deposit in, could use point extraction world gen/platform, every 10 or so rounds a dreadnought spawns and the longer you survive the harder the waves get by introducing more and more elite enemies into the waves as it progresses
Could have it's own terminal since it wouldn't really fit in with the other mission types or introduce them as what was recorded on the black boxes you find in deep dives

A mission created specifically for exterminating Unknown Horrors.
Possible backstory: Some folks at R&D were tasked with upgrading the handheld Laser-Drills(such as the ones we use to get fuel for our Drilldozers), and after a week of hard labour, excessive Abyss Bar visits, and the questionable use of ancient grimoires and magical tomes in order to divine ways to enhance Laser-Drill technology(without the permission or sanction of Management), they managed to invent a beam capable of destroying Unknown Horrors while absorbing their essence, something which Management was greatly impressed by. (I know, Ghostbusters.)
Thus, management sends the dwarves with laser-drainers to defeat Unknown Horrors and absorb their essence into the drainers. However, since the drainers are essentially hypermodified laser-drills, they're heavy and have only so much space, requiring you to visit Molly to unload their essence and slowing you down when you hold them. You can still throw them around, and other Dwarves can catch them and so on.

New mission type: Navigation Network Expansion
Dwarves are sent down with Molly and two Radio Beacons (heavy objects). The objective is to expand Space Rig's navigation capabilities by setting up two radio transceivers which conduct triangulation with each other and Space Rig.
The challenge is that the team has to put them with minimun distance as far from each other as possible to reduce
the completion time below.
After one's setup begins the Salvage Mission style "hold the point" (or maybe something unique), here's the unique aspect, the further the beacons are from each other the less complicated math they need to solve the shorter the completion time.
I think this mission type would encourage exploration due to benefiting from two mission elements having to be far from each other and how to make or find a good defensible position.

Hi, guys, how about a new "family" of enemies?
Along with glyphids and macteras, we could have a family of centipedes.
I thought about two types: runners and diggers.
Runners, they are small, very fast, but with a weaker armor. Their tactics is to hit and hide: they appear quietly on surface, run towards the player, try to bite and in either case run away from player, hide underground and the cycle repeats until player kills it.
The diggers, they are much bigger, with heavy carapace (the weak point is their front, not back, like in the majority of enemies in game). They appear just beneath the players legs, but before going up you can hear the loud noise of digging and small bursts of earth from underground. They appear with the blast and rise for twice the height of dwarves. They headbutt the player with their "forehead" if he's too close or spit something (dirt, for example) if he's on medium distance. If he's far away, the digger just hides back to his hole and relocates to the player.
I also thought about a new boss-centipede during the elimination missions. It's a big centipede with 10 or 20 sections (one section has 1 pair of legs). He appears, crawls around on medium speed (faster than glyphid dreadnought, but slower than runner) trying to bite the players and hides. When it's angry, it hides underground and provokes earthquakes or little blasts under the players feet for 10 seconds ( players have 1 or 1.5 seconds to avoid the blast). To defeat the boss you have to shoot at its last section from head. When the last section gets certain amount of damage, it falls off and the before-last section becomes the last and the cycle repeats until there is only a head left. After all the bosses of map are defeated, you can take that head home like you do with Doretta's and it will appear in the mission outro.
Hope you guys like this idea, this is something i would really like to see in DRG.

M1000 Overclock: Supercooling Chamber suggestions
The Problem: This overclock drastically changes the weapon's playstyle by making it extremely ammo-efficient when used for focused shots, but extremely inefficient when used for hipfire. As a result of this and its other downsides, the OC has severe usability downsides that makes it unfeasable to make use of it without handicapping yourself; you're essentially giving up your reliable primary weapon in order to gain a sometimes-useful secondary that takes the form of a difficult-to-use sniper weapon. In a game like DRG on a class like Scout who already struggles with his weapon selection, you really need to have the flexibility of being able to use an OC like this in more than the very niche situation that the playstyle of the OC promotes, else you'll be left without personal defense and a player mentality of "never take a stand-up fight (since hipfire is ammo-draining)", which probably isn't terribly conductive towards the game's co-op environment.
Suggested Solution: In order for the idea of this Sniper-type OC to work in practise, I think one of two things need to happen: redesign it around the current 'big sniper shot' intended gameplay in such a way that hipfire use is not punished, or scrap the current OC and design a new one that instead focuses on another type of Focused Shot functionality.
Supercooling Chamber Redesign: In order to fix the ammo-efficiency problem with hipfire use, the OC could be redesigned to have additional functionality. Instead of having only two firing modes (hipfire and focus), the OC would add a third firing mode: Supercooled, which would trigger after holding down Focus for a short period. This Supercooled mode would be where the extra damage efficiency that the OC is supposed to impart is added, but would in exchange cost 1 extra bullet (for a total of 3). This would require additional coding work and art/sound to communicate supercooling, but would fix the problem
New OC Alternative. If redesigning Supercooling Chamber to provide a compelling option isn't feasible (say because it'd take too many resources), it would probably be best to get rid of Supercooling altogether and design a different OC; it's simply too finicky and gives up too much baseline kit reliance. However, an OC that focuses on some other aspect of sniping could step in to fill the fantasy—it just needs to not come at the cost of invalidating hipfire use. Something like a ricochet or an explosive shots OC that makes the weapon's focused shot explode in a small area around the impact (at the cost of direct damage on focused shots perhaps) would give some of the same feeling without warping the rest of the weapon's balance around itself. Of course, since it is scout, any addition of area damage or ricochet would have to be done very carefully.

Thanks to the Overclock's namesake, the bullets are so cold they shatter on impact from the force of a focus shot.

Hi! Me again, joaquom mclure, you may know me from such things as “the Bible” and “1984” and today I present a problem: we lack gun, there ain’t enough to go around! So I present a solution to this problem, character class: gunslinger!
The gunslingers main gimmick is his bandoliers and backpack. As opposed to having conventional ammo count, the gunslinger 3d prints his guns out of his backpack, the bandolier holding 10 extra guns as it takes 15 seconds to print a pistol. The 3D printer has a set amount of battery that can be refilled with nitra.
The gunslinger has two options for the guns he prints: a high powered but slow revolver with 12 rounds total (it prints a spare cylinder) or a lower powered but high volume pistol with 35 rounds total (that stendo) a tertiary option is to dual wield between the pistols, choosing a pair of the same type to wield. When the gunslingers pistols break or are empty, he will merely toss it away, maybe hitting a glyphid and stunning it or something (ETG players know)
You can continuously print these pistols and hook them to your belt, slowly encumbering you but having enough armament to kill the planet, or you can stop the printer and only print when you actually need the pistols. Now onto his tools.
(Traversal)DRG approved transportation rail: you know the morkite refinery pipes? You know the train from Mickey Mouse? Well, your backpack can poop out these thin rails at alarming speeds and you can keep laying them as you grind through the cave, so long as you can keep up.
(Support) L.A.S.S.O (Long And Super Stretchy Object): this is a helluva thing, you can grab teammates (they can accept or decline this) and reel them in. You can grab large items and reel them in. You can grab glyphids! Y’all remember praetorian rodeo?!

Alright I've got an idea for a new type of enemy
Glyphid necros, a new type of bug has emerged. Like a type of real life ant it is capable of taking control of its enemies bodies. Now this could be played 2 ways in my mind
Either an enemy that can bring its enemies back from the grave as weaker versions of themselves to swarm the player, or in a more deviststing vane reanimating Dwarven corpses of previous miners who died in the mine turning them into enemies with similar abilities to the player classes that you'd have to fight
fickle nexus
I'm sort of new to the game and so far I am loving it. This is a suggestion for Bosco, not sure if it's been suggested before. It's an additional Teir 2 drone modification for those that can live without Bosco's rockets:
Probably called "Automated storage routines" or something like that, it would allow Bosco to carry a small amount (10, 15, 20?) of minerals (mined entities, not unmined) that it automatically searches out and collects within a certain radius of the player. I'm thinking it would do this when no other orders are issued (idling), and once unable to carry more it will deposit said minerals off into either the player's inventory or into Molly's/drop-pod's/equivalent's inventory.
It could be that Bosco's inventory doesn't work like a player's; it's a limit of 10, 15, or 20-ish minerals of any type rather than for each type. The idea isn't to replace a dwarf's main responsibility to mine and collect minerals, but rather to help seek out those pesky dropped mineral entities that have bounced off into some corner or are otherwise inaccessible/dangerous to reach, or to simply somewhat improve the existing mining order you can give to Bosco to make him slightly more independent so that the dwarf/player can focus more on combat.

Perks don't have to be as strong as vampire; just having a noticeable effect on your game-play makes perk selections more fun though.

Alright I've got an idea for a new type of enemy
Glyphid necros, a new type of ...
building on that idea Jimmy in terms of small details...why not have it be a warning modifier where the entire cave has a spore in it that brings things back after a while...like the one irl fungus that creates "zombie ants"...and any damage they sustained the reanimated one has....unless you froze it and pop'ed it...or blew its head off...either of those 2 they should not get back up

Something I have seen people suggest a few times but couldn't find in Suggestions:
Strong Arm, Unstoppable and Second Wind improve running/ throwing objects by a little bit.
Make the perks more focused on improving certain gameplay elements, while also buffing slightly less game-changing perks.
New Unstoppable/ Second Wind (maybe call it Tenacity):
Nothing holds you back! Environmental slow-down effects are reduced by 20-50 %!
Sprint 8- 12 % faster after running for 5-4 seconds.
--> Most miners took these perks if they wanted to move a little faster, but taking either felt hard to justify at times
--> Combining them would make resulting perk an enticing perk option
New Strong Arm:
You throw all objects with 15-30 % more force than the average Dwarf! Woosh!
You move 10-25 % faster while carrying heavy objects!
--> Combing the carrying and throwing effects of old Unstoppable and Strong Arm gives us the quintessential perk for dwarfs that want an easier time transporting objects.

stray hearth
what if it also displayed how much damage you’ve done overall at the end of a mission (or total damage/100 or something like that) so builds focused on single target damage can get a better idea of how they’re doing. This would be especially helpful on dreadnought missions where you spend most of it only attacking a couple big enemies.

New mission type: Outpost setup
You are send down in a cave very rich of nitra to fill a quota for nitra. The starting cave gets a small base to operate from like in point extractions. You must deposit Nitra into it to enlarge it. There are 2 deposits. 1 for the nitra only (if you empty there, only your nitra is withdrawn for the purpose of mission progress, nothing else) and a cargo rocket that takes everything.
Nitra deposited in the cargo rocket is used for resups, the other hatch is only used to enlarge the outpost. Once the outpost is completed (after maybe 300 Nitra only for it) you can call in a spacelift in the center of the base to get you out.
You must carefully deposit nitra in order to succeed, if you load to much into the cargo rocket, you fail, like if dotty gets destroyed. If you only deposit into the outpost hatch, you might have no resups available.
Caves are set up like egg hunts with a center spawn point and many caverns around it.
Maybe a chunky nitra, like compressed gold but with nitra, can be exclusive for this mission.

New enemy concept; Ticks
These bloodsucking parasites are roughly the size of a swarmer, but move very slowly, only attacking nearby dwarves. Once they land an attack, they attach themselves to the player model, and begin (quite slowly) draining away the players health - this can only reduce the player to 25% of their maximum health. There are a few ways to remove ticks; having your teammates or bosco shoot them off you, standing in sticky flames, taking AoE damage, etc.
Much like glyphids, ticks are capable of adapting to the many hostile environments of Hoxxes and as such each biome gives the tick a unique secondary effect. Some ideas for these effects are listed below.
Radioactive Exclusion Zone: Slowly build up a radiation meter that deals damage at max charge
Glacial Strata: Slows the player
Crystalline Caverns: Periodically shocks the player
Azure Weld: Darker colours to blend into the environment
Reasoning;
Even when in a lobby with promoted dwarves I often find there's always one dwarf that runs off alone and gets himself downed. By having a non-lethal reason to return to your team, these ticks could encourage dwarves to stick together. Also, could be a new warning type like the parasites instead of being a random spawn

Scout flare gun mod: The torch is now attached with a pulse radar (similiar effect to the prox. mine for engineer) that automatically marks any bug in the aoe. This mod could also give additional ammo, but decrease the light duration.
EDIT: When using the flare gun you usually just aim at the dark spots of the cavern, but with this mod you could be more strategic with the placements. An issue with this mod would be having tons of marked enemies all over the place obscuring/distracting the player, especially on Haz5.

Neutral/passive mob: The Mud grazer.

If they were damaged by melee either a dwarf or bug it will bite them, unless they used ranged attacks, then they will just dig away and flee, they might be hard to see but barely visible like their backs are like the terrain. Would be a nice touch to biomes with at least 2 hit terrain or less

New enemy Idea: bugs that hang from the ceiling, and when a dwarf walks under them, they make a loud noise (maybe a shrill cry or something) then shortly fall, dealing moderate damage and obstructing the vision somewhat of any dwarves hit for a short duration, which can be ended by shooting off the bug. the bug will die after the grab ends, and can be removed via heightened senses active as well as it warning dwarves if one is about to fall.
if one of them misses and lands on the ground, they will attempt to crawl back onto the ceiling where they were before.
They spawn in small groups, often spread out throughout a room and do not spawn outside of level generation.

Oppressed Cave
Oppressors rule these caves. Every swarm that spawns will have a guaranteed Oppressor in them, or two if you are lucky.

Lets see if you can truly take down the oppression within these caves.

Hi there, joaquom mclure. You may know me from such things as “wow! This moron?! Again?!” And “how does he even shit out ideas at such an alarming pace?!” And I present a problem: glyphids, ‘ate em. But you know who else really hates them? The subject of this post: bounty hunter levaiathan, only natural predator of even the largest of glyphids.
It’s design would like be some monstrous hoxxes-ified version of the emperor scorpion. Why I mentioned it is the only thing that hates glyphids more than the dwarves? Well, here is what it does.
Picture this, you are your crew are on a two dreadnought mission, you beat the first one, tired and short of nitra you soldier on. You pop the egg, the dreadnought emerges, roaring powerfully.
THEN THIS ABSOLUTE BEAST CRAWLS OUT THE GROUND AND STRANGLES IT TO DEATH
Now you gotta fight a colossal bug that you just watched stone cold kill the most hearty glyphid we know of
HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE?!
In all seriousness, this thing, being big enough to chokeslam a dreadnought, mission control knows something is up. But, him telling us what the threat is would ruin the fun. So, with a 50% chance, before one is about to spawn, mission control will remark “two of our radar staff just quit, I’m no expert but they probably quit for a reason”
Why this is friggin great: those glyphids had it too good too long! Having a genocidal scorpion roam and kill literally everything that isn’t it would be awesome and make for some giant, epic, shadow of the colossus style boss fight!
Why this boss kinda sucks: balance? Nah get that out of here, we have a cool scorpion what do you mean enemies have to be strong?

Metronome Rounds- (Balanced Overclock)
- Each consecutive shot towards a bug's weak point ramps in damage by 2 (capping up to 30 bonus damage maybe?), which ends when the user reloads, the bug dies, or a shot is missed.
- Lowered rate of fire (by 2)
- Decreases max clip size (by 5)

New bug type: Morkite Tick
This bug only appears in liquid Morkite missions. It directly heads to damaged pipes and starts to suck on them. As long as it sucks on them, you can't repair the pipes.
The more Morkite they absorb, the bigger they get. The bigger they get, the bigger the explosion will be when they die.
After they exceed a certain size, you need to rebuild the pipes in the crater they left behind after they blew up.
If you kill them before they reach the pipe or before they grew beyond a certain size, killing them has no effect.
After a certain size, they blow up with a C4 charge power or even a bulk detonator power. After that, they bust pipes.
Damage sizes could be shown with a coloured indicator on the tick.

I got a really cool idea for a mission type, I know it probably won’t happen but I wanna talk about it
Okay so it would be called Nest Infiltration it would bring the miners in near a large glyphid nest the miners would go through a small linear cave lined with the organic material they use to hide eggs in egg hunt missions until they reach The Nest then they need to kill as many bugs as possible gather eggs and maybe there could be a boss battle with a Glyphid Queen the Queen would be suspended on the ceiling producing eggs and once disturbed she would slowly crawl down leaking acid down at the dwarves, and as it gets down it’ll start the main fight, her main attacks could be a large almost beam of acid that does lots of damage and even knocks the miners back, a giant slam attack like a bulk detonators, a bite that does breaks your shield and takes away a 4th of your health if you get too close she can call in swarms and even dreadnoughts

New Enemy: Kukki Patroler
A spider-looking bug that has 8 limbs of equal length with sharp blades of almost flint-like chitin stretching from the lower half of their ""shins"" to the tips, they look similar to blades on a glyphid slasher.
They're brown with some light-grey spots all over them. black eyeballs that glow with a dim blue light in the darkness.
Just as fast as a Mactera Spawn that is dodging bullets, but only on the ground.
Primary Attack: stands up on it's hind 4 limbs at 2x a dwarf's height, and begins to deliver 10 slashes with it's 4 front limbs each dealing 1 dmg. the interval between slashes is 0.1 sec, so it would sound like a weak machinegun.
Secondary Attack: jumps about a meter high and 3 meters far and delivers a blow with 6 front limbs each dealing 2.5 dmg [15 damage total]
Passive: when a dwarf is within 1 meter of the Patroler it hits the dwarf with one limb for only 1 damage, only happens when the dwarf is on the same ground level as the Patroler and the dwarf is not the current target, so basically the Patroler does a "pass-by" hit, can be quite painful to run near a pack that's aggro'd at another dwarf.
They are somewhat aggressive towards glyphids, if those get to close to the spot where the pack of patrolers emerged, the patrolers will start attacking those glyphids specifically.
FORGOT TO ADD: while it uses the primary attack, you cannot hit it with a pick axe from the front.

I want to drop kick a bulk detonator
That is all, ghost ship pls
Aight hold on I got an idea. Inspired by the bulk detonator post above, I present the idea of “research mission”
From mission control: “alright miners, somewhere in this cave there is an incapacitated bulk detonator as you call it. Find it, harvest sample and come home safe”
The premise of this mission is: run about the cave, find giant room with wounded bulk. Set up “material harvesters” on it and defend it while other glyphids come to avenge their comrade.
I say this mission would take maybe 15 minutes of exploring the giant cave, setting up the harvesters, defending the boy and such.

An upgrade for the flare gun:- sticking a monster highlights them on both the screen as a white outline and as a pip on the compass for all dwarves for the duration of the flare, might help with dreadnoughts that constantly dig, light up the area around where you fight the dreadnought, make targeting and anticipating its movement a bit easier, and also give scout another mean to help with during dreadnought instead of just peppering and wasting ammo.

make special powder a base part of the boomstick, albeit with reduced functionality, and add a mod which restores it to full power (perhaps by replacing the useless auto reload mod the boomstick has)
special powder is just so good and opens up so many more options for scout, theres no reason to use anything else (except maybe jumbo shells on elimination)

Make partially frozen projectile-using buggers fly and attack somewhat slower the closer they are to freezing. I can't tell you how many times I've almost frozen a tri-jaw or acid spitter only for them to attack before it finished. This would also allow driller to partially defend against Menaces if he could catch them in his spray even a little, despite the obvious range difference. To avoid overpowering it, simple make dreadnaughts and bulkies immune to the effect since they're practically immune to every other temperature-based effect anyways. A mactera may fly slower and spit slower, but a dread would retain it's full speed no matter what. The easiest defense a bug would have against this would be flying away from the driller or the driller having to reload, the latter of which I think plenty of dwarves can attribute to the lack of burning or crumbling bugs.

Minigun OC idea: Alt fire: spin up the gun for a short duration and then fire a cone of bullets immediately.
Downside: weapon overheats fully after alt fire (bring a solid secondary) , and uses a fairly large amount of ammo.
And an idea for what could be either a mod or a clean overclock: Alt fire to spin up the gun without firing it, preparing you for incoming enemies without spending ammo. (still slows like normal firing)
(second idea has probably already been suggested, but I figured I'd keep it there just in case)

Pressing Reload while the terrain scanner is out will call the MULE to the location the scanner is pointing to. Just a little quality of life suggestion to have a little more control over molly, like being able to move her ahead of you, getting her out of the way during a swarm, calling her to a fellow miner without having to go there yourself, and getting her to stop/stay when she tries to follow and you don't want her to.
alt fire/right click is already used for bosco, but as far as I know scanner+reload isn't use for anything.

Thought i had from the suggestion above: make it so you can ping any surface displayed on the terrain scanner. By that i mean make the terrain scanner an interactable tool, so you can click on any surface to ping it without having to go somewhere else to get a line of sight with the spot you want to ping with the laser pointer.
EDIT P.S. : that is based on the fact that dwarves can download coords for missing legs and lost equipment, so why not upload custom coords to the scanner?

Perk buff: Heightend sense
as of currently the perk warns you when your about to getting grabbed by a creature and "only when being grabbed".
what i thought about, is changing it that you get warned when a grabbing creature is near you in a 50 meter radius aswell maybe different warnings from each individual creature.
why the suggestion? because most of the time when the perk activates you have no time to react, depending what biome your also playing. might be great for solo players?

Seen a few recent comments about adjusting ziplines got me thinking... How about changing effect of taking damage while clipped on zipline from falling to shaking - interrupting movement and aim?
Ziplines are underused because players are afraid of dying from their use. This might be enough of a penalty to give caution but not so much to avoid use entirely.

May be a repeat, but I recently got a voice line while depositing in the escape drop pod, and he said a line relating to Molly, who was already docked in the D.P. (Very well could be a slight bug or oversight, but generally not too important to fix)
So I want to share potential Drop Pod exclusive voice lines when depositing, working like refining and extraction depositing voice lines. They will only play when the D.P. is the only depositing source available (Would play for the abandoned Drop Pod’s preparation as well, with it’s own exclusive depositing voice line)
D.P. Depositing voice lines:
“Why would anyone leave all this loot behind?”
“Can’t believe I nearly left this!”
Abandoned D.P. exclusive voice line:
“Eh, they won’t mind us using this to store the goods” (“They” being the dwarves that died)
As stated, unsure of what kind of voice lines are available as I couldn’t find a good source to see them, this is just based on what I experienced.

voice lines like that should also be applied to the refinery and minehead, which also have Mule deposit lines

Not sure if it's been suggested before or not but here goes:
Survival mission type,
Quite simply, kill a certain number of enemies or survive an amount of time before you're able to call the drop pod.
The unique thing about this mission type though, would be that you can choose to stay for extra rewards like in most survival type games or modes in other games.
Another unique thing would perhaps be the re-introduction of things like turret and spotlight drops, and perhaps several free resupplies, the idea being that you could build your defense with your team in the first few moments of the mission and then ride it out as long as it would go before calling the drop pod
In order to spice it up a bit, instead of simple enemy killing or survival, you would have to travel into large areas one after another to clear out specific swarms of bugs that you'd attract to yourself with some device when everyone was ready and the defence was set up, then when all the enemies are cleared, call in the drop pod

Let us pet breathers (the best character in the game)
bitter belfry
Improve/rework Fragile in T5 on the Cryo Cannon, and improve Explosion in T5 on the flamethrower, to compete with Cold Radiance and Heat Radiance respectively.
Cold and Heat Radiance are such strong perks when compared to the one other option in their tiers. They're both great defense and offense options. However, I don't believe these perks should be changed/nerfed at all, but instead bring the other options up to that level.
Fragile could give a slight additional damage bonus to frozen enemies, and make it so enemies send shards of ice flying in all directions that do some damage to enemies around the one that shattered.
Explosion should just be stronger. Make the radius and damage of the explosions much better than they currently are, but perhaps at the cost of a small amount of sticky flame duration.
This is meant to bring these perks in the same tier closer together, so there are more viable options. Fragile and Explosion are currently being left in the dust because their counterparts are so good, and I'd like to see that changed, without making the radiance perks worse.

New Enemy Type: Golem
Description: The golem is a slow, tanky and powerful mob that can spawn in any of the biomes. It takes on the shape of its surroundings which makes it almost impossible to spot. Most dwarfs will most likely mistake it for a simple shape of rocks and stones, but once the Golem awakens it will make even the hardest greybeards fart in fear. The Golem can also have minerals on them, which creates a little jumpscare for any unfortunate dwarf waking them up with their pickaxe. It will however be rewarded upon being defeating the giant.
Attack pattern: Slams the ground with one hand dealing moderate dmg. Performs a grab sweep that deals dmg over time to a single dwarf grabbed in the vicinity (shoot the arm to release dwarf). Slams the ground with both hands dealing massive dmg and has a pusback effect (similiar to oppressor). Throws rocks periodically if dwarfs are out of range. Spews ice, molten or radioactive liquid if the corresponding biome is met.
Weakness: Pickaxes. Fire/Ice depending on the biome. No weakpoints.
Voice lines marking: "Goleeeeem!", "Rock on the move!", Fart sound "R-r-rock and s-s-tone", "The legends are true, its a freakin' GOLEM!", "I don't want be squashed like a bug" (Almost crying), "Ah, it's just a Golem. Wait, GOLEM!"
Voice lines death: "Rocks and stones may break our bones, but we rock and stone to the bone" The Golem is down, im so proud of you lads", "A dead rock is a good rock", "Timber!"
Visuals inspired by the Rock Monster from Lego Rock Raiders.

Event/Assignment Suggestion: (Part 1/2)
This will seem like a regular assignment in the Hollow Bough, find eggs, kill fleas, but the truth is there is a secret event that occurs during this time as well.
Requirements – Level 5 hazard.
New Biome:
This is a BIOME in a BIOME, part of the Hollow Bough. There will be a sound of a whistling wind that signals the user is close to the entrance of the new BIOME, the miner will have to dig down in order to open the cavern that takes the user to the actual entrance of the BIOME, during this the miners will find out they can’t leave the entrance once they are in it. The BIOME is a single giant room that has one additional tunnel leaving its back side, this tunnel leads to a single room with an experimental rocket in it to take the Dwarves back home, but it requires something special to start it.
The Event:
During this event there will be no creature spawns other than the final stage. Once all 4 miners enter the BIOME, there are 4 platforms that require the miners to stand together across all 4 for it to activate. Once it activates the room will go dark, lights do not work during this darkening process. 2 dark, fiery eyes appear from the center of the room and a fiery whip can be seen moving back across the figure. As the lights begin to lighten, the figure appears (very akin to a Balrog from Lord of the Rings).
There are 4 stages to this boss with a lot of health. The first stage the boss moves very slowly and has two attack types, the first type is a slow attack that is a single swing of a sword (downward strike) that will instantly down a dwarf if hit. The second attack is a much faster whip swing, this will grab the dwarf and slide them across the surface of the ground dealing 25% damage or throwing them toward a wall, 50% damage. The armor of the creature is found on the back of the legs and is only broken by pick-axe attacks. A single dwarf should be able to provide distraction while the others attack the legs.
Event/Assignment Suggestion (Part 2/2)
The second stage is the same except the sword swing is now replaced by breath of fire slinging 4 fireballs at a location. Direct hits will do 50% damage while area of affect hits can do 25%.
The third stage is a repeat of stage one with a single addition, the room is darkened during this period.
The final stage the boss is at their strongest, health almost feels doubled, but once the armor breaks, the bugs will spawn, but not to fight the miners, to attack the giant creature! With the creatures attacking and the miners, this will bring down the mighty boss. Once the boss is defeated, a shock-wave will burst forth killing all the bugs in the room and dropping a key and leaving only the miners and a way to the rocket will become available, bringing our miners safely back to the station.
New Achievement:
They dug to deep – This will be granted once the miners find the entrance to the BIOME
For Moriah – This will be granted once the miners have defeated the creature.
The Rewards – The Rocket room will be filled with gold and other mineable resources. Also this will unlock an empty core for the miner.

Some kind of darkness/abyss region as the opposite to the Azure Weald. Light sources would be less affective, but bugs are partially bioluminecent (think Radioactive exclusion zone). Instead of a variety of plants, there could be various passive fauna that mimic light sources or minerals. Its cave generation could have a lot of vertical parts, like hollow bough or dense biozone. The minerals would be up to the devs. The walls could use a similar visual affect as compressed granite?
I think the Azure Weald's hazard being the lighting is a super interesting idea and I think that idea should be explored more.

So I played around with DRG on my phone using geforce now just because I can. It's an older model with a 4.7" display so it isn't exactly the largest nor is it tiny. Anyways even with the UI elements at the highest scale (120%) the UI remained fairly small and text was difficult to read. My concern is this may be too small even for 7" displays like those found on soon-to-be-released Steam Deck especially for folks with not so great eye sight. It seems this game suffers from the same UI issues as some other PC titles ported to the Nintendo Switch.
My suggestion is simple: in lieu of a UI redesign for smaller screens (which would be the preferred, and time expensive, route), allow the UI scaling to scale text and go beyond 120% to accommodate smaller devices.

I feel like overall Exploders aren't really a threat right now. Whenever you hear a growl next to you while you're mining, you just need to move 2 feet to the side and are instantly unharmed and during swarms they are more detrimental to the bugs than the dwarves, since you can set them off with ease and have them explode inside a bug swarm, which in of itself isn't that bad of an idea, its just way too easy to do. If the developers intended for them to be used like cueballs in Doom Eternal (i.e. intentionally placed as bonus crowd control option for the player), it's all well and good, but if not. I'd propose a rework.
When the Exploder comes into a certain range of a dwarf or maybe into his sightlines, it will start charging up. This charge-up time can probably take a while longer to give the startled dwarf a bit more leeway in dealing with the imminent threat. If not dealt with, the Exploder will charge at the dwarf it targeted with considerable speed in a straight line. Any damage dealt to it in this charging state or contact with a wall or a dwarf will instantly set it off. With this new addition, if a dwarf were to be surprised by a sudden hissing of a Exploder charging up, he would not just have to move to the side to easily evade any incoming damage from the Exploder that managed to sneak up on him, but had to quickly identify the threat and either shoot it or evade it's charge. Skilled Dwarves would still be able to use these Exploders to deal with crowds by targeting them during their charge for when they would be charging through a crowd of their own, too so their "Cueball" effect would not go lost, either. Other attributes of the Exploders could probably be retained, though, so that Dwarves who identify Exploders early and set them off before they come into range can also be rewarded.

Remove the Beast Master perk and allow us to tame Steeve without it. It could either be hard and costly (like, petting it for a longer-ish peroid of time while the bug is attacking us), or situational and only when the RNG allows us (like a rare plant/mineral/object allowing us to tame one bug). Just something to balance out the fact we could do it without a perk.
There’s a lot of good, funny ideas for Steeve here that just won’t happen because the devs don’t want to make Beast Master perk too powerful or complex. While I can see the devs point, I also want to see those ideas for Steeve in the game.
Once Steeve isn’t bound to a perk, the devs could take a second look at all of the suggestions we’ve made for the Beast Master perk and implement what is good - As one of the things preventing them from being added would be gone.

Hey i just completed the Drilldozer mission and at the end where you get the** Heartstone**, the dozer gets destroyed and the bot doretta can be picked up, so i thought imma pick it up and bring it to the escape pod. Aaand thats what i did. I hoped to get an achievement thats called** ,,Best Friends Forever''** or something like that but i didn't :c i would suggest an achievement like that (would be a nice Easteregg i suppose!)

Anomaly Mutator Suggestion:
Lootbug Exodus
These caves used to be extremely filled with precious minerals, which eventually attracted lootbugs. Lots of em! Now, these caves are nearly dried of our rocks and stones however the lootbugs that ate them are still around. Though a very few veins of minerals can still be spotted, its best to just take down these grubs and get the rest. Get your guns loaded and pickaxes sharpened, time to pop some lootbugs.

With that one perk that lets you throw flares further, you should also be able to throw grenades and C4 at higher velocities, further, and in quicker succession
Make it slightly reduced though, like that perk's ability to throw heavy objects further

New Mission Type: Emergency Relief
This mission is set in any biome where a mining machine or outpost of some such is being overrun with a horde of bugs in the corner of a cave. The dwarves meant to defend it have been killed, and you are the only ones standing between the horde and the objective. You have to survive multiple waves of buffed swarms. More so a Last Stand mission rather than a mining expedition. Instead of having to scavenge nitra, the mining machine or drop pod will spit out resupplies every so often. Once youve fended off the last wave of bugs, Mission control breathes a sigh of relief then sheepishly asks you to finish what the other team of dwarves started (Mining something, collecting other things, etc) and from then on it functions as a normal mission.
Not a very polished idea, and most probably wont like it, but I figured Id post it after it popped into my head

Difficultly scaling seems to occur when another dwarf starts on the loading screen. I believe it should start after the dwarf actually appears in-game.
There are times when a dwarf starts loading in and does not arrive for a while. This creates a potential few minutes, especially during swarms, where the game is unbalanced causing deaths and other problems for the players in-game.
To me it makes sense to only scale the difficulty when players have arrived and are providing a benefit to the team - that's how increasing difficulty balances it out. Without this player in the game the balancing is not done properly.

Sup DRG boys.
I have never, in my life, given feedback on a game; my enjoyment is palpable, though, and I respect the vision, direction, and execution of the aesthetic and gameplay loop enough to provide feedback of a sort relating to my personal "quitting point" - the point at which I give up on a game due to an annoyance, or unreasonable requirement of time or energy on my part, i.e the point at which a game ceases to be fun.
After completing the myriad marathon of prerequisite mission types in order to become "promoted" and finally play haz level 5, something I was promised by the game itself multiple times explicitly during the process (something that took me nearly a week to accomplish due to my schedule), the game then spits in my face and demands, importunately, that I sink another dozen hours into repeating the missions I'd just slogged through at the, by now quite easy and dull, haz level 4.
So, despite the fact this is the only game I've had fun with in nearly 5 years, I'll be getting back to my routine and throwing my hands up in disappointment. I was genuinely looking forward to the deep dives and the haz level 5, where I've read that there is to be found an authentic challenge.
Anyway, love the game, hope it grows and succeeds - the team deserves far more recognition than you've gotten.

speak all of this in the cool announcer voice... COMING THIS FALL OF 2021 (no guarantees) The largest mission yet known to dwarf kind, Mining Ops! You and your crew of 8 dwarfs ( idk how many 8 just feels nice bc of the large size) get sent to Hoxes IV surface in hopes of bringing in the mother-lode of resources. you start with your shack to sell your minerals and a doretta fixed to drill straight down, use this device to break the compacted granite and reach the caves. each cave system you break into has its own objectives ( egg hunt, elim, mining) like the DD / EDD, but you can return to the surface and turn in your loot to upgrade your tools for this mining op. Will you breach into a cave with the more Glyphids than all of Starship troopers? You wont know, and neither will Mission Control. Each time you enter the entire map is generated, with unique objectives and generation patterns, (like the original stuff) but you dont have to do it in one run... you can bring all sorts of equipment down... because you dont know what you are dealing with. Oh I almost forgot... but if you die you loose it all... GOOD LUCK SOLDIE- er MINERS, ROCK AND STONE
TLDR its a really long mission with a home base and more risk than an EDD

I apologize if this sounds redundant, but what if there could be a biome with dark-grey as its color motif that mainly features MORE darkness than other biomes? Perhaps something akin to an actual coal mine with unique anti-lighting hazards (such as blinding gases of sorts or some sort of chemical in the atmosphere that inexplicably and only desintegrates flares over time) that generally makes it much harder to see certain light sources.
And, perhaps, maybe the terrain could incorporate shapes and multiple, branching tunnels that lead to nowhere that specifically resemble hole-y matrices akin to swiss cheese?

New Biome: Anomalous Breach
This biome is blanketed in small, pulsating shards of anomalous material, and has wavy, broken terrain that is difficult to navigate, with uneven floors at varying heights that seem segmented rather than smooth. The stone of the cave would be randomly colored and occasionally glow, so less light is needed, but would also be very tough (3 hits) to destroy.
Enemy variants from all biomes can spawn here, including Frost and Radiation, as well as the occasional Ebonite Glyphid (though no Ebonite Praetorians, or Kursite Glyphids.)
Environmental hazards include large floating crystals that apply a random velocity to the player, sending you flying in a random direction, which could include pulling you into it. These will break in one hit, if you're able to get close to them.
Flora would be scarce and would have odd, seemingly impossible structure such as large flowers composed of stone, holding truncated pentachorons; small flowers that slowly walk in random directions along the cave (very minimal a.i., movement would be entirely random and only periodically change direction).
Error Cubes would be much more common in this biome, but be harder to spot due to the majority of the terrain looking like that which the error cubes usually generate around them.

Yesterday, I was talking about MULE variants with some other people on the discord, and last night I had a thought: a special mission only in the Radioactive Exclusion Zone:
Step 1 Find a large chunk of volatile uranium with an Uranium Core
Step 2 Call in an Upgrade Unit near the chunk. this will have several segments that can be picked up and carried.
Step 3 Disassemble the mule (Like building a sentry). When that's done, four slots will pop up from the insides. Put the segments into the mule (Like attaching legs onto the mini-mule) and reassemble it.
Step 4 A button on the upgraded mule will pop up. Press it, and the mule will clamber on top of the large chunk of volatile uranium and start drilling down into it. You need to be near it, like the uplink in the salvage missions Waves of enemies will spawn.
Step 5 Once the drilling is done, the upgraded mule will suck out the Uranium Core, and you can call in the drop pod and finish the mission like normal.

Overclock idea for the gunners Leadstorm minigun:
MINI-gun
Pros:
-a LOT more ammo (Maybe double??)
-slower heat generation (longer firing time)
Cons:
-drastically reduced damage
-longer spin-up time (potentially shorter spin-down time as well)
-loss of stun?
R&D decided to shrink the bullets for the Leadstorm, as a result the gun can hold a lot more ammo. due to their tiny size they do much less damage, on the plus side they also generate less heat allowing you to shoot for longer.
If there is any way you think this could be improved or tweaked please let me know.

I had an idea for there to be more then 4 dwarves, a large map and multiple squads of dwarves drop in different parts of the caves and have different objectives, instead of working towards the same one. So why you work with your squad you would occasionally see another squad working, it could also be organized so that paths rarely crossed, but you’d hear the other dwarves shooting and stuff. Not sure if this has been put here before but it’s an idea.

Reconnaisance Pod recovery
Similar to a mine head or drop pod, the idea is a couple pods that explore further into hoaxes has encountered some trouble. The pods have a mix of: missing (specialized) batteries, some Xynarch Charge-suckers, and low fuel. In order to have it continue on it's journey, the players must:
- Destroy the Xynarch Charge-suckers affecting some of the weapons on the pod
- Locate and place missing batteries
- Fill up fuel canisters like those located on doretta
It encourages players to concentrate on different tasks and work efficiently, utilizing multiple mechanics like exploring and traversal.

A new, rare bonus mineral: Supercharged Piezonite
This odd looking, whitish crystal can be dug up like your usual Jadiz or Aquarq from the walls. When the player picks it up, it will shock them slightly, which will make moving it a little tricky. However, should you successfully deposit it, the powerful capabilities of piezonite come to light.
Should you deposit it into Molly, her movement speed will be increased dramatically as well as causes enemies near her to get shocked.
Putting it in the Mine Head will make the turrets on it deal a lot more damage as well as some shock damage.
Inserting it into the Drop Pod in a Salvage mission will speed up the refueling and rebooting process by a pretty hefty margin.
Using it on a Refinery increases the refining rate and pipe grinding speed.

I've got an idea for a special event or a new mission type. If it is an event then It will have chance to replace normal mission upon starting the mission (around 5%). So, you are going for mining expedition (any type of mission) but you land in some sort of arena (Acid Spitter Quenn's nest maybe). Mission control says that coordinates were wrong and they don't know where dwarves are. However, calculating new coordinates and sending a drop pod will take some time. Moreover, connection is interfered and mission control gets disconnected. Then we are being connected with a glyphid that is smart Acid Spitter Queen ;). There are waves, smart bug talks to us and so on. After defeating all waves we can enter a room with a lot of minerals and mission control connects with us and says that they are ready to bring us back. Of course game should say that we completed the initial mission as it was management's fault. It can be its own mission type, but the whole thing about wrong coordinates should be replaced. A new mission mode can be named like "Nest liquidation"

Hi all miners and rock and stone!!! It occurred to me that most games have an intro scene when starting a game, so I would like this to appear in the intro of the game, that would be epic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd0YDB8X6vk&ab_channel=GhostShipGames I know it is not something important but it gives it a very good touch of humor and I do not think it costs much to implement it for developers, of course it can be skipped if people do not like it, like other game introductions.

I think it'd be worth trying to get the voice chat working under Proton/Linux. The Steam Deck would be a potential conduit for a jump in users, with local LAN/wireless being way easier on it.
And in turn, when they're playing away from their friends, the Steam Deck runs on a fork of Arch Linux. So as it stands, in game VOIP wouldn't work.
It's important that I mention that my friend recently experienced me echoing, during a discord call, which was fixed by me muting my voice levels in DRG. So you may only have to change a few lines to get it working.

For the newer Xbox consoles, how about an optimization? Preferably 120hz support and perhaps a further render distance since it’s the little things that matter most (: Though seeing it right now it seems to be fine but I can see slight but subtle changes. From my perspective this game doesn’t seem to be so graphically demanding so I would assume an optimization and 120hz support what be well

The ability to favorite weapon and gear mods.
This would add all thicker border or slightly different color on the mods.
The benefit to those would be if you're swapping between different mods regularly for different missions and anomalies you can earmark which ones you usually use, rather than having to read the descriptions.

Add a button to the pause menu to stop all currently active sounds.
Source games have the console command "stopsound" to reboot the sound system, anything that is actually suppose to be going comes back as normal, sounds that are endlessly looping because they're broken stop completely.

'A dwarf never dies.' It's a running joke amongst the crew, considering how many times they flirt with death. But there's a terrifying truth to that statement. Dwarves are naturally tough, but they're also naturally stubborn. And when they find themselves on death's door, some are too stubborn and pig-headed to admit they're going to die. And some are too stubborn to admit they died in the first place. Management denies all of this, but there are more than a few employees who can't pass a medical check-up due to a lack of a heartbeat. But it's not all bad. They seem to work just as hard as us and don't complain that much. I just wish they did something about the smell.

Also, I don't just mean for combat, - I keep looking at the shovel attachment and desperately want to be able to clean up the goo in fungus bogs with it super effectively..
But a lower damage but reliable stun if you use the hammer ends to melee? That kinda thing.

Okay, let's face it: HE grenades are not that good. They roll around and bounce too much to be practical. So I propose the ability to "cook" the grenade by holding down the grenade key and throwing it when the player decides it's ready so the grenade explodes closer to the enemy without having it bounce around. This will raise the skill ceiling for driller, make HE grenades more usable, and as a bonus you could add blast jumping in by "over-cooking" the grenade so that it explodes in your hands.

**shield link: **every [cooldown] seconds, if you lose your shield it will immedietly regen to 1/2 again OR you can press a button for the active for bosco to overcharge your shield (though it would be a weaker overcharge than what is granted to normal teamates)
field medic: bosco will revive 30 % faster (at max level,) and once per mission you can have bosco revive you immediately OR (this is just a idea, probably too powerful,) if bosco is not equipped, once per mission you can revive yourself (similar to how iron will works, but permanently)

Hi there’s just ruminating over additional uses for Nitra. I think this was removed by the devs in early development, but I think it might be worthwhile revisiting as the game has changed significantly since then.
The call downs would obviously be a tactical decision as the pay off would be fewer resulted, obviously the cost would need balancing and testing to reach some happy medium.
Light tower: A single rotating light, like those present on the mine head rig.
Turret tower: A single automated turret, like those on the mine head rig, with the same limited ammunition.
These are the main ones that come to mind for a bit more flavor without being op. I think their finite, fixed nature and expense will hopefully deter them being spammed or encroaching into other classes niches.

New enemy idea, the glyphid controller
The glyphid controller is a sub species of the glyphid warden, and a cousin to the glyphid hiveguard. Instead of protecting bugs with a protective aura, using a mixture of pheromones and directed electric charges this beastie can bring glyphids back from the dead.
Undead glyphids can be identified by their slow moving speed and greenish grey hue of their chitin and flesh. As well as exposed bones and occasional missing limbs. They don't do nearly as much damage as a regular grunt due to the rapid decomposition that happens shortly after a grunt's death, but since they are the literal undead they are quite hard to re-kill.
In terms of the gameplay mechanics, the controller would be about the size of an oppressor and have the same weakspot as a warden, but the orb is protected by a bone "crown" of sorts. It spawns with a small compliment of 3-5 undead and is easily spotted with it's blue glow and ghostly wails. Every time a glyphid dies near it, the controller will summon an undead glyphid in its place. But undead glyphids cannot be "revived" additionally, killing the controller will cause all of the revived undead to die.
The controller will have higher spawns on a new hazard called "bug graveyard." Bone like decorative objects will clutter the cave, and a fog like haze floating in some.

Okay, so I know there's no shooting range inside of the Space Rig for allowing the testing of company-issued weaponry, but what if, only in Solo mode, you could access a completely optional VR headset next to the assignment terminal provided by DRG so you can not only test weapons, but preview what they would do towards certain enemies listed in the Miner's Manual?
It'd go like this: Your dwarf would put on a company-standard DWARVEN headset (DRG Weapon Assessment for Realistic Virtual Employee traiNing) and get transported to an in-game testing room (or cave) where you can test your weapons on wireframe versions of all of the bugs listed in the miner's manual (provided that you've killed a certain amount of them to 'unlock' seeing them in the virtual space), complete with voicelines that surround the context of underfunded and hilariously-outdated and overrated training equipment.
Something like this could also give players VR-exclusive scenarios and missions with limited resources and pre-defined equipment setups to complete as part of their training, such as reaching and reviving a non-playable downed Dwarf at the end of a pre-made, difficult cave within a certain time limit, or hitting targets with pictures of the bugs' faces mixed in with Dwarves you're (allegedly) not supposed to target.
Of course these missions don't have to be so over-the-top that they take away from the game's main co-op focused gameplay. But it might be an interesting addition to the game.

-Unstable Ground-
"Listen up Miners. A valuable piece of Hoxxes has escaped orbit and will floating into the expanses of space shortly, we simply can't let this valuable Asteroid go to waste. Get in there, grab what you can before the Asteroid is out of range of the Drop pod."
Unstable ground is a "Timed" resource grab game mode. Dwarf(s) will be sent into a biome to meet multiple quota's of any mineral type, Be it, Aquar, Dystrum, Morkite, or Gold. You must mine the quota for each of these minerals before the last drop pod off the piece of Hoxxes. All while players are grabbing anything of value a slow bar on the left hand side shows how far away from Hoxxes the Asteroid is floating. And much more accurately how soon till it's too late to escape. As the bar gets lower i grows increasingly red, to alert the Dwarves that they're getting dangerously far from Hoxxes. Upon completing the quotas the Mine head is extracted and you're picked up and safely brought back to the Space Rig.
Post Statement: Quite literally dreamed this game mode up last night while I was asleep, So I figured I post it and see what people think.

A special "mate interraction" that works like a "taunt with partner" in Team Fortress 2 (like a Skullcracker). Can be get from overclocks, or may be from Lost Gear (for some kind of symbolism), can be choose (as victory pose).
So, when you hold some specific button (dunno, may be J or some else), your dwarf invite some other dwarf for this "taunt" (3rd person camera, dwarf stays on his position, takes a pose and calling their brothers). It could be different things, for example:
High five;
Friendly punch in a shoulder (and partner punch back);
Brofist
Shaking hands
Some kind of specific dwarf greetings (punch yourself in a chest, double brofist, grab each other hand, bash heads, and then salute with a pickaxe)

etc.
May be with a cooldown, so people can't spam it, may be without, as you wish. It be good additional for friendly atmosphere of game and community (one of the best things in this game, I think), and give you a good reason to admire your skin or skin of your fellows once again, not only on a "Victory screen".

New Mission Idea : Protect the Heartstone
R&D came up with an odd idea after watching mission footages of dwarves extracting the Omoran Heartstone. Shockwaves generated by the Heartstone appears to have the ability to vaporize any Glyphids caught by it (while there are recorded instances of dwarves being infirmed for concussion-related injuries)... hence the idea to weaponize the Omoran Heartstone for their disposal.
Mission Details : A modified mine head containing the Omoran Heartstone will be inserted into a heavily infested area. Miners will be inserted as per usual, and must link up with the mine head to activate its charging process... in which the Omoran Heartstone will begin summoning nearby Glyphids swarms to attack it.
Miners must protect the mine head from taking damage as they kill wave after wave of Glyphids, in a manner similar to an arena gauntlet of sorts, until the Omoran Heartstone is fully charged, in which it will unleash all of its stored energy as a gigantic shockwave that will cleanse the immediate area of all Glyphids, potentially opening the section up for future, Glyphid-free mining operations.
(Note : I know, I know, it's based very heavily off the Xel'naga artifact from Starcraft 2. It's something I noticed during Escort Duty, where the final shockwave does not harm miners, but it does kill off every enemy in the area. This is basically "What if DRG's R&D department weaponizes the Omoran Heartstone into a Glyphid-killing WMD?")

A beard for eyebrows.
A beard for moustache.
A beard that has it's own beard!

(More) Voice lines that comment on newly-arrived Dwarves' beards during a mission. (Separate from those who came in from the main drop pod)
thick thunder
Different colored lights for the dwarves
winter python
Make creeper vines sometimes come back in a different position or even retract slowly and then extend in a new position when you're nearby. It'll add to the unknowable feel of the region with the growths shifting, and the sounds the creeper vines make when doing as their name suggests are quite atmospheric
bold tiger
Maybe a new mission that requires you to eliminate a monstrosity that is created by the alien eggs R&D wanted
wise wren
To expand on SoySauces idea, it can function as such: when you drop into a normal elimination mission, there may be a chance of static appearing on screen, and management sombrely tells you (instead of the Classical drop greeting) that you won’t be hunting normal dreads today, and that the mission objective is diverted to hunt a new monster… the egg hatched one

We need daily/weekly assignments for each class.

Please, add another button to hide your weapons. Sometimes you fall upon a marvellous view on the mission, you can toggle off your UI, but your weapons still occupy nearly 1/3 of view and you can't take a good screenshot. Please!!

When you highlight an area of dirt surrounding an Enor Pearl, Jadiz, e.g., the notification should suggest that there's something underneath.
turbid wing
When you press E to make a waypoint with the laser pointer, whatever you've been directly pointing at the time should be explicitly stated next to it. For example, an ordinary waypoint is just called a "Waypoint". If you've been pointing at some Nitra or an Enor Pearl when you made the waypoint, it should be stated on-screen as "Waypoint (Nitra Vein)" or "Waypoint (Enor Pearl)" and etc...
Just a tiny quality-of-life improvement.
round sail
Tagging teammates with the marker should say something about the class they're using. Preferably the voicelines would say something about the traversal tool the player is carrying. For example: tagging a driller has your dwarf ask for a tunnel to be made.

onyx warren
A reason to turn off your headlamp torches. E.g. a new type of enemy that is sensitive to light and very high threat. It might make a unique sound that makes the team coordinate to turn off lights and avoid hand flares and the flare gun before proceeding.

An integrated health and shield display into the players arm, so that I can see my health and shield while HUD is turned off

The sandblasted corridors should have a chance to have weird, pyramid-like structures in the terrain that serve no purpose other than housing glyphid swarmers with little pharaoh hats.

During the omeran stones boss fight, dorettas drill hitting the omeran should sync to whatever music is playing at the time

Have the Safety first mod reduce the joke "Risk of death" rating to Medium, for comedic effect

R&D Requisition Tokens: A VERY limited way to procure specific Overclocks or cosmetics. The current system is great fun, but it's entirely possible to play for 400 hours and still not have a specific Overclock that you've been wanting since the beginning.
This would be a way to occasionally be able to request a specific OC from R&D, possibly by sending the Error Cubes as payment, or as a reward for completing both Deep Dives, or as a new Assignment entirely.
turbid wing
Not a serious suggestion, but how about we take the concept of a Deep Dive and go even further beyond with an Ultimate Deep Dive ? -- a special Deep Dive where you complete every available mission type in the game in a single sitting with Nitra becoming more and more scarce as you continue digging deeper into Hoxxes.
To make up for the fact that this would be an absurdly long and arduous mission, the missions included could be shortened versions of their normal counterparts (or not for extra difficulty). For example, Mining Expeditions would ask for ~80-150 Morkite instead of the usual ~200 -to 400 or so, Escort Missions would have Doretta travel a shorter distance to get to the Ommoran Heartstone, etc...
And at the end of this mission, there could be a huge reward such as a series of unlockables, (like... access to a brand-new mission type for those who've completed this) or a really cool easter egg to see.

3x the amount of loadout slots when this update drops (or even more slots tbh) ain’t no way I can fit build for 3 different weapons into only 3 slots

You gotta let us put paint jobs on gadgets.

Add in the grapplehooks "risk of accidental death" comedic stat to the special powder overclock. Both for humor, and to warn players of how likely a death to fall damage is while using it

This has been 100% set before but they should finish the top of the space rig

Have the Safety first mod reduce the joke "Risk of death" rating to Medium, for ...
Building on this suggestion, the "safety first" upgrade should change the disk of accidental death from "high" to "still high".

Option to turn off tinnitus sound effects so I can play safely without the risk of having a migraine.

We keep getting suggestions for being rewarded (achievements or extra xp) for doing drunken runs.
So instead of that, why not a daily drink that gives a really nice buff, but has a strong potency so you always start drunk.
I would suggest it being cheap, and not having it make you too drunk (ive done drunk runs before, it loses its charm if youre at max drunkenness all mission). Probably give it a health and damage boost on top of something else unique, to help balance things out.

this may have been said before but the "what a chonker!" ping line should be used for lootbugs way more than what they are currently used for.
ruby wasp
Add different type of fossils. They're pain in a$$ to find in some biomes. Could be with different colors or shape. Or make them glow more
sage yew
Give us a achievement for doing a karl dive
Edit: The reason why i think karl dive SHOULD have a achievement attached to it is that its arguably one of, if not THE hardest thing to do in game, other then doing a karl dive drunk. The player base should at least have some kinda reward for doing it.

‘Second wind’ perk is pretty overlooked. It could be fun if it gave you the boost when moving for x seconds in other directions, not just running forward (still have to be holding W A S or D, but you can be facing any direction while holding the button)
