Endless Elite Deep Dive: Management dont want to collect you that often, give a call if you need to be picked up !
DD Continiues at haz5, but time between waves shortens every mission, and one more modifyer is added to the mission.
To end the Dive you have to call for the 'lift home' that will be delayed according to deept fx 30sec + 10sec*deept..
If the drop pod is called it (as usual) leaves within some time.
The point is to make it possible to win the endless dive, but have enough overview to know when to call.
Maybe make it so all dwarfs has to call before it get send

Suggestion;
Lorie The loot bug.
Management has finally allowed a pet on the space rig, a harmless loot bug, since capturing one is easier than paying around 50k credits for a AI named dotty, Lorie would be next to the abyss bar. It can be pet, and has a small nitra deposit it’ll feed on occasionally.

Please, if we get disconnected, and there's still an open player slot, allow us to join back even if it's halfway into the mission!
I got disconnected just as we reached stage 3 on the current EDD. My internet is crappy rural junk, so disconnections are regular.
Without the provision for reconnecting, im regularly getting screwed through no fault of my own.
(Also, when you get disconnected and you do manage to reconnect, you lose your beer, which can be a real pain. I had the 1 less terrain hit beer a few nights ago, and one disconnect/reconnect later im taking 3 pickaxe hits to mine instead of 1 on the EDD.)

Have an alternative way to join a union other than Discord Rich Presence. Discord and DRG can't communicate via Rich Presence when running through Proton.

Breach cutter rebalance concept
Base changes:
- Beam DPS reduced to 400
- Beam width reduced to 1m
Part of base dmg moved to mod for better single target vs wave clear competition, beam width decreased to reduce overall wave clear performance
Mod changes:
- Tier 1: projectile lifetime, expansion delay, reload speed
- Tier 2: damage (+350 DPS), ammo
- Tier 3: beam width (+1m), clip size
Changed mods for more build variety: tier 1 is QoL mods; tier 2 is single target vs wave clear; both tier 3 mods fit for wave clear builds but having to pick one will slightly reduce performance compared to current BC, clip size is expected to be a pick for single target focused builds; hopefully with reduced base dmg armor break will become a more viable alternative to stun
Overclock changes:
- High voltage crossover (clean): clip size penalty removed
A little buff to make it compete better with other wave clear builds
- Stronger plasma current: damage bonus changed to 1.2x
With base damage changes this OC needed a buff, bonus changed from flat value to multiplier so high damage builds benefit more from it
- Return to sender: ammo penalty changed to -3
The effectiveness of full ammo build was reduced so penalty was lowered to compensate for it, ~8% potential damage increase overall
- Inferno: 2x beam width added, +3 ammo added, 0.2x impact damage added, beam DPS penalty changed to 0.5x
Reworked into wave clear focused overclock - kills smaller bugs with DoT rather than beam DPS but has better potential due to extra ammo and beam width
- Spinning death: beam width changed to x2.25x
Beam width bonus increased to compensate for the base nerf, more build variety due tier 2 and 3 mod changes
- Roll control: completely new mechanic (and name) - allow it to "turn" beam left/right using the crosshair as long as fire button is held, similar to the mechanic of the upcoming guided rocket system
And a little bonus (not exactly my idea)
- Stronger plasma current v2 (balanced): 0.6x beam width, 0.75x beam speed
Rebalance for making it focused more on a single target, lowered beam speed instead of a damage bonus as a gimmick; might as well be new overclock
pure surge
Additional arcade game for the rig. A DRG knockoff pacman variant! In all of its pixelated graphics and repative gameplay loops glory.
You pick a class to run around as, and pick up gold chunks (rather than pills). Aquarq appears on random parts of the level and need to be collected (and returned to a central point) to move to a new level. Ghosts are now glyphids obviously, and new ones slowly spawn from the edge the longer you take. Occasionally bulks or oppressors spawn too, especially as you get to later (lower) levels. On later levels one glyphid is always an unspeakable horror, which can never be killed and will dig directly for the player through walls.
Each class gives you a unique ability. Drillers can dig out special dirt filled routes quickly, and can dig right through walls slowly. Gunners have their revolver and can shoot the glyphids, allowing them to kill them if they encounter one separate from the others. Scout can grapple to rapidly move down straight tunnels. Engi can block passages with yellow foam, enemies can dig through this slowly though.
Powerpills are replaced with supplypods that randomly drop in on a timer, picking them up gives all classes a gun (gunner upgrades to their minigun) and lets them kill glypids for a short period for extra score (and to remove them, until new ones spawn)
Brewing mats replace fruit, occasionally spawning for a score boost. Loot bugs occasionally appear and just remove gold that you've yet to collect (killing them drops nitra which lowers the supplypod timer, and any gold they got, but they also can leave the level with all their loot).
This is likely a waste of dev time to make a mini game in a game, but meh, it was fun thinking it up. Probably call it DigDwarf or something.

Healing with Vampire Perk depending on Tier AND Level of killed bug.
(Probably someone already proposed it, but i don't really know)
When you equip the Vampire Perk, the healing reward depends on the tier of perk, but also on the level of bug that you killed. Also, if your tier is too low for a certain bug, you get no healing.
Tier 1:
Swarmer = +1 hp
grunts/guards/slashers = +5 hp
warden = +10 hp.
Tier 2:
(Previous tier +)
Web/Acid spitters, Mactera spawn = +15 hp
Q'Ronar youngling, Mactera trijaw = +20 hp
Praetorian, Mactera Brundle, Hooli Hoarder = +25 hp
Tier 3:
(Previous tiers +)
Glyphid menace, Acid spitballer, Mactera grabber = +30 hp
Q'Ronar Shellback, Nayaka Thrawler, Goo bomber = +35 hp
Tier 4 (boss tier):
(Previous tiers +)
Oppressor = +70 hp
Bulk/Crassus Detonator = +100 hp
Any Glyphid Boss finished with melee = full health restored.

A machine event or a mission where you need to destroy an unstoppable object before it arrives to its destination. It could be a Xynarch infested machine, or some kind of new glyphid.
Your target will have a lot of health, and you cannot stop it once it gets going… but it will not directly attack you. It can still crush you if you’re not careful though.
Think of it as the Tank from Team Fortress 2 Mann vs Machine mode.

I was thinking that the Haunted Cave warning should be revised to make it actually really scary to explore, for example:
-
Have ghosts of enemies that deal far less damage than their living counterparts, appear then disappear after 3 - 6 seconds, sounds distorted.
-
Hear Dwarven calls in the distance, also distorted.
-
Have a true threat that appears at least once per game, an incorporeal black fog that makes chase after its scary theme plays for 3 - 6 seconds, damaging Dwarves that get caught in its midst, also causing scary images to appear if caught.
-
Have the background music be tense and unsettling - have an increased contrast between quiet and loud moments - have a lot more dissonance and sharp rises and falls in pitch to put the player at unease.
-
Have a thick fog surround the player, perhaps see faint faces in the distance.
-
Error helixes should be much more common and much taller, hinting at a dark nature to them.
-
Have the Terrain Scanner be buggy and distorted, showing off at least somewhat inaccurate information.
-
Have a very rare chance of a random Dwarf being temporarily teleported to an inaccessible area with a high chance of being immediately chased by the entity in suggestion 3.
-
Have the Drop Pod depth meter show "ERROR".
-
(for faint-of-heart players) Have Haunted Cave missions not appear during Assignments - also warn players that Haunted Cave missions are very scary.
PS: Perhaps the ghost Bulk could be reused as a temporary chase enemy, being much faster than it is now, but only lasting like 10 seconds.

Ever since dreadnought phases were changed to be threshold-based instead of time-based, they're less fun to fight against for players with optimized builds.
A better way to handle it would be to make it time based, but make the timer go faster based on how much damage the boss takes during a phase. By doing it this way, skilled players running optimal setups are rewarded for playing optimally, and unskilled players with low damage usually won't get softlocked from lack of ammo by bosses (which was the reason they changed it from time-based to threshold-based in the first place).

so what if agressive venting actually increased heat generation. The problem i have whenever using critical overheat is that it takes almost 10 seconds of continuous firing to overheat, so whenever i actually wanna overheat i either kill all the bugs or get swarmed cause i dont wanna stop firing and lose heat.
i think something like +50% heat (6.33s) or even +100% (4.75s) heat generation, if you’re feeling lucky, might make aggressive venting more than a crutch for when you overheat on accident. a sort of diet burning hell

I am not sure if this belongs in the bug report or not because it's a pretty big oversight; Proximity Trigger for the PGL does not work with the Fat Boy over clock.

If the host enables this in the option menu (similar to renaming sessions or turning off class duplicates), at least 50% of the team are need to simultaneously press the button on Molly to call the drop pod .
This would basically only apply to teams with at least 3 players to prevent the host from holding a single extra team-member hostage by refusing to extract.
"Button Voting" would be a nice way of reducing griefing by a bit for larger sessions (be it intentional griefing or not); teams of 3+ no longer have to abandon gold, machine events, cargo crates etc. because someone didn't know better/ wanted to see the world burn for a bit
To make it more clear on what is happening, maybe have the dwarf initiating the button holding automatically ping molly too.

An idea for a new aesthetic pack that may have already been suggested: Cyborg. I imagine Hoxxes causes a lot of Dwarves to lose body parts, so miners going around with metallic bits would be normal. Scout with cyber legs because he broke them by falling from a great height, Driller with metal arms because a Glyphid ate them (or perhaps he blew them up with a badly placed satchel charge). I imagine it either being a bit like the Roughneck pack and showing skin so you can see where the flesh ends and the machine begins, or with the implants sort of fused to the armor for a more robotic look.

A "Rope" or something that you can scale dropped by Molly when extracting from the mission:
Unless you aer scout, trying to follow molly in some high complexity high length missions can be a literal nightmare. It is really stressful to have to figure out how to place a zipline for example (or you may not even have any) or mine through extremely tough rock whilst being swarmed by glyhpids to actually have a chance of extracting. A rope that you could climb walls with to get to a surface that is actually navigable by dwarves would make extraction so much easier, since molly don't give a care about our feelings... ;(

I feel like this might have been suggested before, but how about a few more miniboss types? Especially ones that are unique to certain zones? We already have the Tyrant Weed which, while not explicit to the Fungus Bogs, definitely has that ‘dangerous flora’ theme. So why not others? Maybe the Crystalline Caverns have strange crystal golems made from semi-biological crystal formations? Perhaps the Radioactive Exclusion Zone would have a chance to spawn a certain type of heavily mutated glyphid? There could maybe be a “Giant Cave Leech” type mini-boss, where it’s teeth are dropped as trophies? While I’m sure more bosses are planned, I think having biome specific bosses could add an extra bit of flavor to do missions in certain biomes (besides mining for minerals, of course).

I think it would be cool if other dwarfs can take driller's C4 pack (from ground)carry and plant it in some place. It will add new co-op feature, and communication between players.
For example: you want to destroy big column, and it is hard to climb for driller on the top of it. Instead driller can give C4 to scout (or somebody else), and scout can easily carry C4 on the top of it while driller do drilly things at the column basement.
Other possible way to use it in battle: scout can deliver C4 to dreadnought's ass and shortly retreat. Leaving a great BOOM behind, like in cinema.

Want to smash lots of bugs casually with your friends?
Toggle x2 spawn count
Slide the difficulty to haz 2 but ramp up the mob count to haz 5

Idea to make Scouts base suit look interesting.
Adding abit of another color to his suit in the form of kneepatches and the front would break up the large mass of blue his undersuit has, but still keep its eye catching hue.

Stimspore, a rare, multi-tiered mushroom, with a red and green color. Releases glowing spores when disturbed (walked through, shot, etc.) spores stick to anyone (including enemies) who pass through them. The effect lasts for 1 minute, and gives the spore holder a 50% speed boost, and illuminates them. For dwarves the effect aggros enemies. Plant is shaped like a cone, with a pink and blue color. The effect sort of acts as a give and take

more lost and broken mining equipment. i know it would probably be too much trouble for what it's worth, but i think seeing a few broken weapons or a bent pickaxe occasionally could add to the atmosphere of the caves, especially if it is a much higher difficulty mission or near a lost pack.

a new mutator: "unusual assortment" or something like that that increases the likelihood of a mission generating with rare enemy types like bet-c, or spawning events like the lost pack. i know the entire point of these random encounters is to spice things up since you never know if you are going to encounter something like that during a mission, but giving you a heads up isn't going to ruin the surprise too much (or at least, i would hope it wouldn't).
edit: alright, yeah, it was a bad idea. not every one of em is a winner.
bitter fern
instead of things disintegrating when the bottom is mined out make them fall over, this way you could use pillars to bridge gaps and other cool things, you could also cause cave-ins too perhaps?
new idea for a mission: hivebusting - enter a bug hive and eliminate the queen, could change the idea a bit, i just think more mission types would spice up the game more.

I think what the game really lacks is variation for boss types in elimination missions (or bosses in general), it could really use bosses that aren't glyphid. Maybe a mactera boss set, it could have a different looking cocoon (for eliminations)

New species: Yurids, these mantis like beasts are thought to a contender for apex species on hoxxes. There are 4 currently known variants.
Yurid Ripper: The backbone of the Yurid Species, the size of these nasty bugs are somewhat in between a grunt guard and a praetorian, they rely on sneaky flanks and quick, high damaging attacks luckily it takes a bit of time to attack so watch your backs and you might catch one about to attack.
Yurid Brusier: These tanks are big, tough and are ready to crush you with their mace like clubs, they're about as big as a oppressor and have similar weak spots in terms of position.
Shoot them in the back and don't get crushed.
Yurid Backscatter: These menace sized bugs shoot bone like spikes from their backs all at once dealing lethal amounts of damage to the victim. Good thing they have a large glowing bulb on their back to shoot.
Yurid Swooper: These winged mistakes in evolution can't actually fly, but they can and will get up high and quickly glide down to their target and perform a quick hit and run attack, even worse is that they tend to do this in large groups but they make a loud clicking sound before attacking so shoot them at the wing to cripple them.

New anomaly: anomalous gravity.
At semi-random points throughout the mission, the gravity will briefly turn completely off or switch directions. Each shift will be announced by mission control warning the team either that the gravity is going out, or in what direction it will be switching (Using cardinal directions). Each shift will last 25-45 seconds. The team will get 5 seconds of prep time after the warning to get in a comfortable spot or mine into the side of a wall.

Overclock (Unstable): Recursive Grenades
For: PGL
Each grenade launches a cluster, then those clusters send out more clusters (1 nade sends out 6 mini nades, which then send out 6 more mini mini nades)
The main explosion does -50% damage, and each mini nade does 25% of the main explosion
The mini mini nades don't stun but do normal mini nade damage
By heavily packing explosives RnD were able to make recursive grenades that explode multiple times to cause maximum damage.

broken bosco encounter in rare occasions, simmilar to bet-c, however is faster, can fly, and has the charge sucker on his back which he tries to keep turned away from you, once defeated he works just like bosco but in multiplayer. perhaps give the charge sucker more hp?, or burry it inside bosco so you have to break metal plating on him to get to it?

Paid DLC, optional (to avoid splitting community):
Two character classes. My friends and I were talking during some runs. It's just a fun suggestion, not something we actually expect to see at all - and if it even did happen, it probably wouldn't look exactly like this.
An artificer/pilot, in a potentially Glyphid-shaped mini-mech that can crawl on surfaces like they do (Ever play Alien vs Predator?). Same size as a Glyphid Guard, perhaps.
Quirk is high shield and low HP, like a Glyphid with armor that can regen.
- Primary weapon is melee
- Secondary could use the missile pistol that was shown as a preliminary idea for new weapons
- Special could be summoning a short-lived fleet of drones (like the brain-jellies that shock you)
- Movement could be a leap that leaves* behind a jump-pad other players can activate to follow
An elf. As an irony, the only female character in the game.
Quirk is resistance to melee damage with extreme weakness to ranged.
- Primary could be the crossbow-like gun shown off as a weapon idea
- Secondary could be a literal magic burst, somewhat like a targeted version of a single Plasma Burster shockwave
- Special could be a healing field. Has a set amount it restores, more people in it means less health for each
- Movement could be temporary free-flight

New Biome: Slippery Aquifer
This biome would be a beautiful, cyan/clear-colored cave with puddles and waterfalls. This place would feature flora which require an abundance of water to thrive, examples being large lifted lilypads, tubes that shoot out strong water streams able to propel dwarves, and more. Exclusive fauna would include small spider-like bugs that glide atop the puddles, and frogs that leap across lily pads.

Beer suggestion:
Sunny Orchard Radler
A refreshingly tart mix from beer and the finest lemon soda made from suncarresed fruit makes this beer a refreshing and fizzy delight best served with ice.
its light and refreshing effect makes every step nimble and as light as a feather!
on consumption the dwarf will emit lots of yellow bubbles and move at thrice the speed for the duration!
pure surge
More variety on weakpoints on new enemies.
I want to see weakpoints on some glyphids flanks (and are hard to target from front or back)
Weakpoints on their "tops" so you need to be at a higher elevation to strike them.
Some weakpoints on the front (top of head perhaps) that are behind armour plates so armour breaking had more utility
Tiny receded weakpoints all over that require accurate weapons to consistently hit.
The standard circle around and shoot them in the bum is fun, but gets repetitive. A few mobs already have more interesting weakpoints, but a bit more variety will promote different tactics during encounters and make different loadouts for weapons a little more viable and rewarding. Variety is the spice of life afterall!

idea for a queen for the hivebusting mission i suggested earlier...
Glyphid Queen
-abilities include-
can summon a wave of glyphids
is immobile, so its attacks mostly involve downward swings with front legs with long windup and environmental damage ( like poking holes in the floor)
can coat a portion of the room with toxic gas that it spews
on death it starts a never-ending swarm causing the advance to the drop pod to be more difficult
this boss will only appear in the middle of the large glyphid hive exclusive to the hivebusting mission
this mission will involve entering a glyphid nest and killing the queen, glyphid hives will be jam-packed with praetorians and have huge hoards of bugs inside, the hives would be large too, like take up a large area underground where you have to drill to it or climb inside through one of the tunnels that leads to it, the walls could be coated in eggs as well...

Perk idea:
Last Resort
Passive Perk.
While holding a weapon with an empty magazine, your pickaxe deals 4/8/12 more damage. (Does not affect Power Attack)
(Bonus is less than See You In Hell because the condition in rather easy to get.)
(Buff goes away after reloading, switching to a weapon with ammo in the clip, or refilling your weapon's clip with Born Ready/Resupplier)
light raft
Perk idea:
Mad Grit
Passive Perk.
Gain 3%/5%/7%/9% damage resistance for each negative status effect affecting you.
(Effects that give resistance: ☣️ / ⚡ / ☢️ / 🕸️ / 🌟 / 💕 / 🥾 / 🔥 / ❄️ when fully frozen/burning.)
(Resistance is less than Elemental Insulation because it gives a more versatile effect. But these perks do stack together.)

I like the full cooperate play of the game, and can think of a few ideas that may work out well...
Integrate Epic Online Services - this already has full unreal engine integration in place.
** Epic games store release** - should work fairly well with above entry.
** User run dedicated servers** - in theory this can help with some gameplay reliability by allowing users with better internet host the game for their friends.
Steam cross-play ( mod free) - I have friends that refuse to install software/games from windows store due to system breaking bugs ( imagine 70+gb stolen every patch Tuesday)

Perk idea:
🛡️Anti-Distraction Field🛡️
Active Perk.
While interacting with objects hold [Fire](Left Mouse Button for PC) to start rapidly draining your shield and deal Electric damage to enemies around you. Cooldown 60/50/40/30 seconds. (Radius 3 m. Shield to damage conversion rate is 1 to 5/5/7/7.)
(The effect lasts as long as you have shields left and can't be turned off.)
(Can be triggered while Building, Repairing, Depositing, Resupplying, Calling DropPod.)
(Works with Shield Link's boost, allowing for a long damage aura. Still requires good communication between 2 players.)
light raft
Perk idea:
Inspiratory Presence
Active Perk.
Passive effect: Whenever you are within 4m of a teammate, you both reload your weapons 25% faster!
Active effect: You can "motivate" your teammates to move 50% faster for 5/5/7.5 seconds by smacking them with a Power Attack. (Cooldown 2 min/1.5 min/1 min. Only triggers if attack hits other players.)
Possible voice lines:
"Move it, you lazy bastard!"
"Heads up, seven up!"
"Go or I'll do it again!"
"I've seen Lootbugs crawl faster than you!"
"Leg it!"
"Do it for Karl!"
"CHAAAAAARGE!"
(Works pretty much the same way as Shield Link.)
(Multiple instances of the passive or the active effect of the perk don't stack.)
(The movement speed bonus stacks with Second Wind and does not ignore slowdown effects, unlike Dash.)
(Active component can trigger on multiple allies at once.)

residual reactants: probably some sort of hazard in fungus bogs, radioactive exclusion zone, or maybe azure weald since that place is always crazy.
my idea for this is just some multicolored sludges or oozes you can find littered around occasionally, that can react violently to damage. just some sort of blatantly strange chemical reaction caused by chemicals either left behind by DRG or maybe just distilled by the planet hoxxes.
maybe one type flash freezes and creates a spike of ice jutting out from the ground, which the miners can use maybe as a short perch after the fact, or even a booby trap if a glyphid is on it when it reacts.
maybe another is oily and black and slows you down, but with the slightest impact ignites into an inferno.
maybe one is a kind of balled up slick of yellow and green and emits glowing light, but releases toxins when burst.

When U35 hits, replace the Subata's Mactera Poison mod in T5 with a 50%+ damage mod on poisoned targets (or just add it as a third option)

new machine event: a piece of mining equipment has been rendered inactive, due to mactera snatchers(think grabber, but smaller) and nayaka burglers(again, trawler but smaller) stealing power cells from it. hunt them down, and pop the cells back in. both bugs have the full speed of their normal versions, but have a light aura from the cells they've grabbed, and the power cells themselves give a speed boost to make up for having to haul them back(the difficulty comes in tracking them down)
midnight marten
cave mapper: just a random encounter in missions like lost packs, cargo crates, or bet-c.
basically, it's a set of 3 pylons attached to a center device, that all together is roughly the size of a supply drop. you can carry each the pylons like a large object out to a distance of around 20(?) meters from the center device or other pylons, where upon being dropped they stick to the ground where they land. boot each pylon and then the center device by holding e, and the nearby caves are mapped and resources/objectives are marked.
i always thought it would be an interesting counterpoint to bet-c, which brings an extra couple of guns to the fight to make the mission easier, but instead of guns you get information. plus, if you are in a long mission with high cave complexity and facing a mutator or high hazard level, it makes it pretty difficult to get that one last fossil, or gunk seed. it won't always be useful, but when it is it is a lifesaver.

Halloween event - Flesh planet/moon.
The dwarves aren’t on Hoxxes IV anymore, they are on a moon/new planet made of flesh, this planet is alive, and the bugs on it, while not being from this planet, have adapted to suit this new environment, they are more parasitic than the wildlife on Hoxxes IV, and will attempt to drain the blood of the dwarves, and many will be able to use enzymes to poison the dwarves. DRG is only interested in one thing though, at the center of this planet/moon is a heart that the company wants a large sample of, the dwarves will have to make their way through the arteries of this massive beast, avoiding the parasites along the way. Occasionally, the immune system, or local wildlife to this planet, will arrive to the dwarves location, these will be unique enemies (not sure what they would look like/do) that will attack all foreign invaders, the parasites, and the dwarves. they come in waves. Let me know what you think.

so ik it was said a 5th clas would never be added let alone melee based,but i did alot of thinking on the subject and came up with this jsut for fun:
the abandoned/survivor/unemployed
charge hammer primary - on hit it generates shield (tank play style)
electro baton - causes electric arcs on hit between nearby bugs damaging and stunning them (damage play style)
**
speargun secondary **- shoots sharp spikes that can be retrieved if you miss (long range single shot)
home made throwing stars - low damage rapid fire throwing stars made from plant spines (short range rapid fire)
bounce pad - lets you throw a pad on the ground that when u stand on and jump, gives u a huge boost to your jump power, also lets you fall from any height onto it and receive no fall damage.
**goo grenade **- like a charged shot from goo gun but in grenade form.
smelly rock - aggro whatever you hit for x amount of time.
stimulant grenade - a buff grenade that speeds up any dwarf that passes through the aoe cloud.
all of his load out/ look would be as if he had been abandoned and left to fend for himself on hoxis, a gun that shoots plant spikes for ammo and grenades made of things he had found. ammo for high tech weps ran out long ago so he was forced to resort to some crude melee weapons just to survive.
the bounce pad opens up both utility and combat options when substituted for that of another class as it provides excellent vertical movement, combined with player movement it is able to launch you into combat (or out of it).

This probably should be a bug but i’m not making an account for that. When dwarf orders Bosco to dig out an egg or a chunk of mineral, please make Bosco actually come to the player instead of flying above the head and running away when i try to grab it off of Bosco. Yes i know i can order Bosco again and it will drop whatever it is carrying but it’s not good in complex or vertical terrain when it rolls off somewhere and you have to run after it.

a new overclock for the thunderhead autocannon,
the general idea is that the bullets drop extremely fast so you will have to fire in an arc, dammage is increased based on how far the bullet fell before impact, effectivley turning the weapon into a mortar where you have to arc the shots over of the enemies to deal maximum dammage, other stats will need to be tweaked appropriatley to balance it out like all overclocks.

The setting that automatically switches back to your last weapon after firing your zip line is a nice little quality of life thing that's helped many players avoid accidentally shooting their lines twice.
However it should auto switch after the reload animation, not before. Because it makes it inconvenient to have to reload when you switch back to zip again.

so been thinking about something, the plasma carbine has an upgrade that relies on having full shields right? what if the shield disruption mission modifier wasn't just "ggnoshield", but had your shields decay over time. like low oxy, various structures(drill heads, molly, supply pods) would have shield chargers, which would provide normal shield recharge when nearby. note that your shields will still work like normal(get hit and it stops charging for X seconds) when near charge sources

Suggestion: Point Extraction Rework & New Spawn Frequency Mutator
I really dislike how Point Extraction behaves as, not only is it outlandish compared to other gamemodes, but it also makes no sense why a mission where the objective is spread out across a large cave with a stationary depository has more enemies to slow you down even further (not to mention the endless swarms makes secondary objectives like Fossils impossible to complete without being rushed the whole time). A mission like this on paper would be much more fun if the game allowed the players to explore and take their time gathering the giant infinity stones.
However I believe that the decision to have enemies spawn at higher frequencies was more of an early game counter-balance to the bland nature of the gamemode (basically just a slower, more tedious version of Mining Expedition). As the gamemode was added early on when gamemodes were not as amazing as they are now (On-site Refining, Escort Duty) and with GSG actively improving older gamemodes as of recently (Salvage Operation, Elimination), I think its time that Point Extraction got a rework.
Suggestion:
- Frequencies of enemy spawns are normalized and swarm events behave like any other swarm event (ie the grace period announcement of the swarm and the announcement of it's conclusion).
- Aquarks behave like Alien Eggs on Egg Hunt and have a 50/50 chance to start a swarm event.
- Minehead Turret ammo is halved.
- "Grumpy Glyphids" - A new mutator that implements the frequent enemy spawn mechanic on any gamemode.

A grace period when leaving the drop-pod where enemies will not naturally aggro. To make those higher hazard right-out-the-pod swarms a big more easier to chew off.

Warthog Overclock - One Bill - (Balanced)
Increased base damage around 30-45. (Depends on what would be balance.)
Slightly increased accuracy.
Only one pellet per shot.
Instead of stuffing your shells with many tiny pellets, you decided to put just one giant bullet.
This OC trades a small amount of up close damage for more consistent damage on longer ranges.
Side note: With no overclocks or upgrades, Warthog will deal 56 damage if all pellets hit. So yes, this OC will lower your max damage for more consistency. This OC also disables the Loaded Shells mod.

Lighting Hands - Passive Perk
Allows you to reload your gun faster than others, but only if you press R again at a perfect time. Press it too early or too late and you will reload longer than normally, without the ability to cancel the animation.
How it works: When you reload, a bar appears underneath your crosshair. That bar will have a highlighted section. If you press R when the reload progress is within the highlighted section, you will reload your gun faster than normally, even with the animation cancellation.
Multiple levels could increase the highlight size
If you do nothing you just reload as normal.

Better armor breaking

Better rate of fire
Much worse cooling rate and delay.
10 TIMES longer overheat delay. It will take 100 seconds for the gun to cooldown if you overheat it.
R&D has played with the design a bit and the wizards found a way to improve the gun's performance in almost all areas… except cooling. Whatever you do, do not let this weapon overheat.

New pickaxe set: ancient relic
a pickaxe design from a time long old, back when the dwarven clans kept their feet hard on the ground, when nary a though turned to the star filled skies above them. Back when resources were rare, pickaxes were made with cores of heavy yet soft materials, reinforced with lighter harder ones. When a handle was made using wood from the topside wrapped in cave beast leather and not some fancy carbon fiber polymer. When a beer was brewed with wheat and shroom, not exotic cave plants. While pickaxes have become sleeker, more refined over the years, this hefty tool imitates a time when dwarves fought, not over morkite and enor perals, but over rocks, stone, and gold
TL;DR: a big chonky pickaxe, akin to an old high fantasy one. Multiple metals used in the head, grip of authentic leather, wood for the handle

An event that could occur when leaving missions where your drillpod would break down before leaving the planet. You'd have to put Molly back together and pick back up some of the resources you mined before bailing on a new or rebuilt drillpod.

The event could be you drilled into a glyphid nest so it's just big swarms till you get out.

(Based on @light raft idea)
Instead of flare upgrades, let us pick between different types of flares and other light sources. Like picking a grenade type or an Unstable overclock. These could be available to everyone from the start, or locked behind level.
Sticky Flare - This kind of flare travels a bit further than a normal flare, but doesn’t bounce. The moment it hits something, be it ground, glyphid, Molly or other player, they immediately stick into it until the flare burns down - after that they behave like a normal flare.
Lantern - Instead of throwing a flare, you put a lantern where you stood. This lantern behaves like an Engineer's turret (no collision, cannot be moved), has a slightly bigger light radius and lasts for longer, but you don’t throw it and carry less of them at a time.
Flashlight MK2 - Trade your flares for a better flashlight. As a tradeoff you don’t have any flares. If that’s still too OP, the better flashlight could only last for a moment (20-30 seconds?) before reverting back to a normal flashlight until it charges again.
Bouncy Flare - Complete opposite of Sticky Flares. These flares will bounce even more than normal flares, reaching uncontrollable levels of bounciness... Until the light fades away and they start behaving like a normal, used up flare.
Heavy Flare - This flare is so heavy that throwing it can actually damage the ground. It travels less than normal a normal flare, and recharges slower but the initial contact with the ground with deal 1 pickaxe attack worth of damage - allowing you to use it to mine nitra or morkite if you’re patient enough. You can also use it to deal damage to enemies.
Light Flare - An opposite of a Heavy Flare. This flare is lighter so it will travel further than a normal or sticky flare, however it doesn’t shine as brightly or as long as normal. It will however recharge quicker.

Faes - Dragonfly-like insects. Harmless, very curious and fearless of alien things. That curiosity and fearlessness often costs them their lives, so not many of them are left. However bonding with one can provide various benefits depending on the species.
Sun Fae - This Fae is attracted to alien organisms - in this case Dwarfs. They will fly around the player and provide flare-like light for 2 minutes - after which they get bored and leave, going out of sight and despawning.
Thunder Fae - This Fae is attracted to machines - Molly specifically. For 2 minutes Molly will move at double speed before the Fae gets bored and leaves.
Spelunker Fae - The rarest of Faes, and for a good reason. This Fae will try to lead the players into a specific spot, upon which they will find buried treasure. This buried treasure is a rare mineral (Bittergem, Error Cube) which doesn’t have the usual markings on the wall - meaning the only way to know these minerals are there is the Spelunker Fae.
There’s also a chance you will get a box with an empty matrix core.

While playing any class... Using the laser pointer on another dwarf should make your own dwarf say (or imply) something related to what they think of them.
For example, if you play as Engineer and ping a Gunner, Engineer could say, "Wonder if I could upgrade my sentries with that sort of firepower..." (referring to his primary weapon(s)) Or if you ping another Engineer, "More sentries, MORE FUN!"

Gun fire and explosions that hit the site will reduce the rewards until sections of the skeleton are lost entirely. End of game shows what the remains of the alien looks like in it's new display.

When you killing Brood Nexus, it's just explodes and let out a group of Swarmers. Could be more interesting, if it will let out less amount of swarmers and a some kind of "spores" (big and fleshy, not big amount, just a few), that fly in different directions and sticks to some surfaces (walls and ground). After that, they starts to grew quickly and forms a new Nexuses, so you should wipe it out as fast as you can, if you dont want more trouble.
Of course, new Nexuses can't spread new spores and spawns less amount of Swarmers, for a balance.
I always perceived Nexus as some kind of tumor. So, it could form some kind of metastases.

I'm always saying we need more voice lines and I love thinking them up. Some more ideas:
Gunner to Gunner: "Could always use more firepower!"
"Nice weapon, mate."
"Let's see who can blast more bugs!"
Any class to driller:
"Don't go blowin' us all up, now"
"You might give Doretta a run for her money."
Any class to Scout:
"Thanks for the lights, mate."
"Never seen a Scout with both legs intact."
Scout to Engie:
"Those platforms really help with mining!"
That's all I can think of, for now.

I think that it would be a good idea to add buff beer that makes you drunk as well, so you get a good buff, but you also get drunk.
Drinking a 🤮 Leaf Lover 🤮 would cancel this buff, because you could easily cheese this by drinking a Leaf Lover to get rid of the buff.
At first I thought about amplified effects of current buff beers, like x1.5 faster movement speed when carrying heavy objects (as opposed to x1.3225) or x1.8 health (as opposed to x1.69), but you could easily sprinkle something special in, like dealing more damage overall or ability to spew out fireballs (on a cooldown of course). The only limit is one's imagination.

Maybe sword n' shield for Gunner, battleaxe for Driller, spear/pike for Scout, and then I don't have a great idea for Engineer that feels dwarven and would provide a unique experience from the other melee weapons, but maybe like a whip or flail weapon? All of them would have a regular and charged attack.

Hi, don't often post in here. However I have three quality of life suggestions for the space rig:
-A small mineral trade point near the promotions area, because draggin my lazy ass down stairs for 2 Jadiz after be excited for promotion sucks.
-Allowing you to promote your players in public lobby (If the other lobby players come with you and have the ability to like clap or celebrate your promotion). Even if it just forced a little cut scene for the rest of the lobby.
-Getting a new statue in the memorial hall of the host gives the ability to pull a sheet off the new statue and have a brief cut scene of celebration.

Let you choose your starting weapon.
I.E; Subta or EPC.
I say this as a player whos always been hesitant to try the new weapons because they seem weak and bad compared to my current one that i favor and have skill with, and i think being able to choose your weapons for your class may spice things up some. its a stupid idea in concept and in practice but i like the idea of starting variety (especially with MORE primaries coming soon)
muted swallow
↑ A twist on this
Randomize starting weapon for each slot for each class for new players.
This way there's more variety in approach across playerbase, as different players learn and master different combos before being able to choose. Different metas will still inevitably emerge, but more combinations will be given a chance.
Lore-wise, it can be explained as greenbeards being a rag-tag collection who each bring to the job whatever they happen to have.

make the pickaxe power attack do extra damage to frozen targets like the regular swing does

DLC idea - A new class The Brewer
Overview: Using components found in the level, brewers create the beers normally only available at the abyss bar on the Space Rig. Each beer would have the same effect as it does in the bar but some would give you functional buffs during the game. For example growing bigger would allow you to to dig more each swing or do more melee damage, but might make travelling in tight tunnels difficult. Careful not to drink too much.
Weapons
Weapons are themed around chemical weapons
1/ Primary (Default): Needle Gun- Fires hyperdermic darts full of concentrated poison, targets take damage and damage over time with stacking effect (could be modded to cause other effects).
Primary (Alternative): Sludge shooter - launches goo that slows down and does poison damage to enemies over time.
2/ Secondary (Default): Beer gun (like a big healing water gun). Would allow this class to function in a healer support role healing allies as they take damage allowing them to stay in more dangerous situations for longer, or this gun could be modded to give alternative buffs that increase movement speed or resistance to damage.
Secondary (Alernative): Acid gun (Debuff) again like a big water gun, but now fired at the enemy it lowers armor, increases damage done to weak points.
3/ Traversal: Paint gun - applies a sticky substance to surfaces that allows you to run on walls or ceilings.
4/ Buff: Set up keg (deployable), start brewing beers using components found in the level. Players access the beers like a supply drop.
5/ "Grenades": (A) Webbing (Vertical wall that slows enemies moving through it, looks like spiderweb), (B) Bagpipes (Fear AoE), (C) Sticky splat (bear trap).

An uncommon loadout chest we can find in the caves. Interacting with it would allow us to change our loadout mid-mission but only once per player.

What about a grenade cache? Except theyre bonus one time extra of, say, four grenades picked randomly from your classes grenades (even if you haven't unlocked it yet). A 1/12 chance of finding them on a level, maybe more common in some biomes and on salvage missions.
You get told what type it is when picked up, and it stacks ontop of your regular grenades, even if it causes you to carry more that your max. Theyre always used first, and so kind of act like explosive/incendiary rounds do in L4D. Once theyre used you throw your regular grenades again (assuming you have any).
Looks like a small crate-like supply pod (they glow and have bore-holes above them) that are rusted shut, having been dropped ages ago by a targeting misalignment.
You need to repair it for a short time before it becomes active. Then it deploys four resupply-like pannels out the top in this shape ==. You can use it multiple times but it doesnt stack with itself, so youll just replace whatever you had left of the bonus grenades.

Quality of Life & Ease of Use -- When you (Driller) equip the drilling arms; change the HUD to include elevation lines in whatever -3 and +3 make sense -- eg: -15deg -10deg -5deg 0deg +5deg +10deg +15deg -5deg -10deg -15deg or eg: -45deg -15deg 0deg +15deg +45deg -- these can be subtle so you can still see what's around you. There have been too many times in a pinch when I was trying to drill to a point that I made the wrong turn & elevation. BEST - include a mini-map (scanner) to Driller arm HUD so the orientation problem is solved. The greatest part about this game is how much fun it creates. This will make drilling much more fun (right now it's pretty onerous).
FYI - as a Leadership Consultant, I would have had a better HUD for the Driller with DRG management long ago. If you think about it; all the other roles & guns have a single orientation point to assist with their use (it's amazing what a little dot can accomplish). The Driller with drill arms needs the same thing (only he needs more than a single dot) 😉

If you start a mission, but youre not in the drop pod, you drop down in one of those mini pods that multiplayer dwarves drop into mid-session. This would just land directly next to the main pod

Overclock Rework: Micro Flechettes
The overclock itself isn't too too terrible but it's just more ammo lack of damage. It doesn't feel unstable. I propose these changes:
The bullets are now burst fired micro flechette shotgun shells with 8 pellets each (each pellet does 20% of base BRT damage)
Base ammo -1/3
No Longer Burst Fire
Converting the BRT into a pocket shotgun, the BRT fires micro flechette shotgun shells instead of the conventional SMG rounds.
nimble stream
Overclock (Balanced): Denser Rounds
+2 damage
The shotgun fires much much slower (+1 second between shots)
By fine tuning the shotgun RnD coaxed more damage out of the pellets by adding a pump between each shot, which decreases fire rate.

Maybe a weird suggestion but in heroes of the storm you can give one player basicly a thumbs up at the end of a match. This mostly does nothing gameplay wise, but is just there for comradery. This might be something that could work in drg.
Another thing from there, tho for mechanical reasons: I'd like to have a damage dealt and maybe a cc time on enemies at the end screen of a mission. This would help evaluate builds a bit more. Enemies killed is not amazing for that since you can't evaluate swarmers and pretorians the same for example.

I have all weapon overclocks, but very, very far from getting all cosmetics (i always opted for weapon overclocks in machine events). I also have a lot of blank cores and game still gives them to me. So, i am punished for my choices: DD/EDD/WeeklyCoreHunt are not rewarding as they were because the only valuable i get is the cosmetics. My proposal is:
- give blank cores if player has all weapon/cosmetics cores
- allow trading blanks to other types at some ratio, eg. 2 blanks for weapon, 3 for cosmetic, or more
- also i have a lot of gold, maybe allow buying cores at some insane rate?

The Arbalest and Lacerator might need visual changes. A friend of mine is colorblind and finds distinguishing between the two very tough due to their very similar color and shape. Typically the game is very good about this, every enemy kinda glows with their own visual style, ores are distinct enough that it's hard to get two mixed up, every class has their own appearance to their armor and deepness in their voice, but the Arbalest & Lacerator are particularly troublesome. Even as someone who isn't colorblind I get the two mixed up from time to time.

A somewhat common creature that makes good use of heavy armor. Meaning it has heavy armor all around which one plate has about as much health as it has hitpoints. Maybe a gliphid that has as much health as a normal grunt.
I feel like armor breaking often is not great to take since armor is often avoidable easily, except with a few creatures like shellbacks, that are only present in a few biomes or brumbles that are rare and not part of the base enemies.
I really enjoy the new hipster and one part I noticed is how nice it is to have armor breaking in a few edge cases. I would like to be able to take it on more guns without it feeling like a waste in most matches.

spring mesa
A mass-mining mission type focused on mining out enormous amounts of minerals, like huge deposits of just a wall of stuff would be nice. Some sort of specialized tool for it would be good, like either something similar to the fuel canisters from the escort missions but with a faster tick update and area of effect, or possibly using a proper mineral-tuned breech cutter. Alternatively, using loretta with the laser pointer or mule marker, and directing the tank to just cut out huge holes. Not sure which would actually feel better in practice, but either way, a big emphasis on just "here is a tooooon of stuff to mine out and your normal pickaxe won't cut it for this stuff, but here's something to play with where you can just be like yeah, we'll totally bring back a cubic kilometre worth of stuff."

Bring back the OG Dreadnaught to spawn rarely during waves. Make sure it has the OG model so people don't get scared/confused.

Another suggestion regarding armor breaking: Another way to go about this would be to have one biome have a lot of armored creatures. This would incentivise a different build on that biome similar to something like glacial strata, which I tend to have specific builds for.

It can be really hard to tell when digging a really long tunnel and kicking up lots of dust!

New Mission Idea:
I'd like a mission where it's just a straight-up base defence. Say Deep Rock Galactic has actually committed to setting up a temporary base of operations in a mineral-rich area, and your job is to help set it up and get it in a functioning state.
This would be cool because you could actually then build the base how you want, setting up defences (turrets, walls, traps etc) wherever you please and the actual amount of bugs that are attacking could be drastically increased as you have all of these defences in place... making the game even more hectic than it is currently.
The key stages of the mission could then be something like building an onsite refinery, setting up an automated mining/transport system that produces robots that mine minerals then transport them back to the space rig and then the final thing that you must build is this huge rail gun or something that completely automates the defence of the base, by then you can leave. Not sure if this might be too ambitious with too many things going on and may make other game modes pale in comparison, but hey I can dream hahaha.

Glitch Detonator -- A rare detonator variant that sports a classy monochrome black-and-white color scheme that appears to have gotten in contact with an Error Cube. It would have a unique behavior: when it it explodes, it creates a cuboid-shaped crater that has ~1.5x to 2x the radius of a normal detonator's explosion and transforms all affected terrain into glitch terrain.
Glitch terrain would provide a random buff or debuff to any player that steps on it for approximately 5-15 seconds. It would also spread to nearby terrain until a certain point in time where all of it would just vanish and return all affected terrain back to normal as quickly as it came.

Suggestion: Re-introduce Elite Oppressors (pretty pls?)
Me and my friends (though as unpopular of an opinion as it is) LOVE the Elites and more so the Elite Oppressor. It was annoying on regular missions, yes, but when Elites are more common and are exclusively designed to cause chaos and ensue havoc in an organized team, the Oppressor (for as ridiculously annoying as they were to fight with a large health pool, increased speed, and more damage in addition to their already impervious armor) was a great choice for an Elite imo!
Suggestion:
- Re-introduce the Elite Oppressor as an Elite enemy that can spawn on Elite Threat.
- Reduce the health to being less than the Elite Praetorian's.
- Increase weakness to power attacks.

Just a suggestion but as long as dwarves have been mining there you think we'd find old and possibly repairable minehead and refinery structures that have long sent their cargos back to the space rig but maybe the lights and possibly the turrets might be functional with the use of the dwarves hammers?

because of the voice line "When we get back to the space rig, it's sandwich time." i want to eat a sandwich in drg, so i have a few idea on how this could work.
-
during a mission you can press a button (say h for example) and your dwarf will pull out and eat a sandwich. there are 2 ways i can see this going
1a. you have unlimited sandwiches and can eat when ever, or
1b. you have a limited amount, but the sandwiches will heal you a bit after eating. i can see why 1b isn't the best idea especially with builds using ironwill, but i would give them a purpose. -
after a while of not doing anything, your dwarf sits down and enjoys a sandwich. as a new idle animation you dwarf gets to have a break from this madness and have a sandwich.
-
have sandwiches available to buy at the abyss bar for 15 credits. the sandwiches can be made by a new robot, or despenced by something or lloyd can make it for you. either way that voice line can now be fulfilled.
tl:dr add sandwiches to deep rock galactic please

The first version is a 6 (7) mission deep dive , it would play like a normal deep dive for the first 2 missions but on the third the drop pod breaks or blows up due to the rock in that region being very dense, so what happens is you have to get back to the surface using bug tunnels which can lead to different regions rather then being in just one like a deep dive , so for the other 4 stages once you complete your main task you got to find a bug tunnel, however these tunnels are guarded by a dreadnaught ( or just something stronger then you basic enemies), once beaten you enter the tunnel to move onto the next stage , the last part when you finally reach the surface would be a 5min survival waiting for the drop pod
The shorter version of the idea is the drop pod starts you at end stage deep dive depths when the drop pod breaks so you just need to make your way up rather then going down then up

"Backtracking"
The cave has already been explored by a different team, who stripped some of it's resources. Nitra veins are more rare/smaller, but there are a few abandoned supply pods scattered around, which you can repair and hope for good RNG.

the patented strangest suggestion I have ever made:
Swap the colors of the particles that surround the zipline and grapple hook projectiles, right now the zipline has blue particles and the grapple hook has green, which is opposite to the respective class colors (gunner should shoot green and scout should shoot blue). Previous versions have the scout shoot grapples with blue projectiles as well, and it just feels correct

Light Sensitive - Passive Perk
Slightly faster interaction speed (repairing, building, depositing, etc.) when in a very bright environment.
Slower interaction speed when in a dark environment.
Side note: Buff is smaller than when picking a perk that buffs one interaction specifically. In my mind this perk would increase the speed by at most 10%, and lower it by 20%.
By "bright" environment I mean having a flare close to your character, or be lit up by Scout's flare.

Titans. super-sized bug. Big as the game can handle. Has the ability to eat downed dwarfs and prevent the team from reviving. Has giant, spiked, limbs that need to be shot off by tarteting joints. To find it, you would carry a special device into a high difficulty mission and would heavily increase its chance of spawning. A giant tunnel with a rare matterial would rest both out and inside its cave. blasting the bug to death gives massive amounts of this matterial and any of the dwarfs who got eaten would be thrown out and be able to revive.

A passive Entity wich is stationary and wont do anything unless being atacked. 10K Hp (crassus has 6k on haz 5) If disturbed it will call in glyphids and has 4 phases (no invicibility though) 1st only grunts and swarmers will engage 2nd slashers and guards as well 3rd pretorians and web spitters and 4th some opressors and acid spitters added. While the hivemind is active no swarm or random enemy spawns (also exploders or macteras can be triggered due calling bugs already to aid it to Surive. (it cant atack and its onlay ability is to create a heal pulse for bugs each 60 seconds wich gives them 25% hp back )
Bug spawns are capped as well 1 wave a base amount of 75 2nd 100 3rd 125 and last 150 (any non grunt/slasher/guard is capped by 10 per wave pretorians are capped by 10 and opressor by max 4 (so you should kill bugs first before enganging next phase or you get the next wave on top of the one before) Also reduces wave enemy spawn amount by 25% afterwards if destroyed in the mission. (the spawn amount and so on could be altered of course (its about the base concept) and could also do some concept art if wanted 😄

New Mission Type: Detonator Escape : Whats happens if Bulk detonators Keep Growing? They get even bigger but also Cant move anymore due their heavy weight.

(in the center of the map is a Static Swollen Detonator you have to get down and finish the mission in a time limit before it detonates higher hazard levels reduce the time you have and fewer dwarfs increase the time you have. Should add a mission with a bit more tension and the unnerving feeling that you have limited time. The Equipment could consist of Retrieving a broken Doretta body by collecting its valuable parts and stroing them in the Drop pod by hand. If the timer hits a certain mark (75-50-25% there could be a quake like on magma core wich shows that you have to speed up also the timer should be shown) time ideas could be for 4 players 45 minutes on haz 2 for a large cave 25 for a small and on haz 5 25 minutes on large and 15 on a small one.

Subata Mini Rework:
- full auto
- base mag size increased from 12 to 15
-- 20 with T1 Mag Size mod
-- 25 with Mag Size OC
-- 30 with both - full auto reworked to be Hoxxes Hawk (play on Desert Eagle):
-- semi auto
-- Higher damage per shot
-- slower RoF
-- Mag Size Decrease
-- Ammo penalty
The weapon is currently balanced around its numerical RoF rather than its practical RoF. For this reason Full Auto is a very popular OC because it allows you to consistently convert actual to practical. Unfortunately with a mouse click spam macro you quickly realize that when this problem can be circumvented the full auto oc is just a 25% RoF for enormous accuracy penalties. This is a design flaw.

mission modifiers/anomalies based on hazard level
Basically, each mission could have different modifiers based on the hazard level.
•For example, an Azure Weald mining expedition on hazard 4 may have different modifiers than the same mission on hazard 5, and so on.
•Ideally, modifier type would not be weighed by hazard level. Any modifier could appear at any hazard level.
•The mission objectives would be the same on all hazard levels, only the modifiers would change.
I think this could go a long way towards making the mission variety more interesting, because sometimes there just aren’t any interesting modifiers occurring and the missions won’t cycle for another 20+ minutes.

If the terrain affected is destructible I’m one pickaxe hit, then the acid will burn 15 meters down, 10m for 2 hit terrain, and 5m on 3 hit terrain.

Solo missions are too risky to play. The problem is the escape pod. It often drops into very difficult locations, always on the other end of the map. Molly will sometimes scale a sheer cliff face to return to the pod, which leaves most players to find a way around. Solo missions are already a lot longer than multi missions which represents more time invested for the same rewards. It's not worth the risk of losing it all right at the end of the mission. 1) give the solo player longer, like 10 minutes 2) put the pod back at the starting spot 3) penalize the survival bonus but at least give the player "completed" 4) assistance from Bosco 5) drop the pod at the player location. I understand the final rush is supposed to be exciting, and in multiplayer it usually is, but losing sometimes an hour's worth of effort due to overly difficult and unlucky pod location is misses the objective of excitement. Multiplayer is great, and solo play offers a different but enjoyable experience, but only if the risk of losing all progress is removed. (edited to remove salt)

Turret whip upgrade increases turret damage but reduces fire rate of the turret so the turret dps remains the same if you don’t touch it.
This would let turret whip be used more often without burning through the turret Ammo so quickly.
So overall this will be a buff to players who do not forget to shoot their turret

This is a bit of sily/nitpick suggestion, but being able to select crosshair state by weapon + being able to customize crosshair by weapon. For example, this feature would be useful on scout because his AR, sidearms, and torch gun don't need a crosshair, while his grappling hook and sniper do. Or on the gunner, while his minigun doesn't need a crosshair, his sidearm with elephant gun mod still could use one

Carnage Turret
A normal, single turret that levels up after kills. Moving or recalling resets this and it gets a small boost in power and fire rate after killing a few bugs, promoting smarter turret use. Tier 1 option so overclocks work with it
Thumper Turret
A turret that has a thumper device that lures glyphids. It would work as a less effective L.U.R.E., only keeping the attention of nearby bugs for a short duration before it needs to recharge. This is a tier 1 option so it cannot be used with Gemini or MKII but works with weapon overclocks

something like total morkite (and/or liquid m.) mined goal, for aditional reward. For example, the mission asks for 200 morkite, but you can bring back more back to the space rig. The goal would be 1000 morkite, which you can get in 5 missions, or in 4.. after that you get your aditional reward. This could be tied to hosting player, so if you leave before after 1k morkite, no additional reward for u.
this would potentionally eliminate at least few players jumping from server to server.
for additional fun, you would have to move mined morkite from drop pod to other container becouse of limited cagro space of drop pod

make large-aoe explosive weapons more effective against large enemies. It's so counter intuitive because you would think that big enemies take a lot of dmg from big explosions, but it's the complete opposite. You use bullets to kill the giants.

Interesting weapon interaction: If the Engineer uses the Fatboy on the Driller's C4 with the mod that allows damage to detonate it, the C4 pack disappears and the radius of the radioactive explosion gets doubled (but with no damage increase).

If you're in a server with a group of 4 dwarves, add an option for Lloyd to "spice up" a round of Oily Oafs at the Abyss Bar. It'd probably be like this:
All 4 dwarves will be (optionally) prompted to bet (1-500 credits) and Lloyd will briefly hold onto the money, then he will casually pour 4 Oily Oafs. However! He seems to have spiked one of them with a Blackout Stout!
Then all 4 dwarves will drink one mug provided. Whoever passes out due to the spiked drink wins all of the money Lloyd was holding.
Just a small drinking game to pass the time inbetween missions.

Rework matrix cores to be tiered rather than pre determined. Adding different variants, say Tier-1-2-3-4 matrix cores.
Rework stats for overclocks to be randomly generated. The higher the tier matrix core used, the higher rolls you can get.
R&D Grade Matrix Core - Tier 4
Nitra-Enhanced Matrix Core - Tier 3
Bitterjem-Bedazzled Matrix Core - Tier 2
Morkite-Coated Matrix Core - Tier 1
Tier 1 matrix core could roll you +1 to +5 damage, but a Tier 4 could roll +5 to +12 (Just as an example)
Would add a bit more to grind for in regards to getting your dwarfs min maxed.
Additionally rework mineral trade for an auction house where players can trade in their overclocks for others using the minerals they bring back.

I'd adore a system that if the host locks in an assignment mission, it progresses everyone's assigments on completion, even if they have a different mission type in solo. They're randomly selected missions anyways, why does joining a multiplayer lobby and sticking with it have to be discouraged by ingame systems? I remember playing this game in the beta, and you'd get a team of random dwarves, and go through several missions with them. Now people will join, play one game, then leave because your assignments no longer overlap. It also makes it harder to consistently get a full lobby to start a mission.

To add some variety to the Salvage mission, how about adding some different uplinks - each one with their own twist.
Uplink Mk.2 - This uplink has a much stronger signal - meaning the triangulation range is increased. However this signal is so strong it will attract a boss to fight you. This could be a Dreadnaught like from the Elimination mission, or a unique boss made just for this. That one is on the Devs.
Kill the boss to proceed immediately.
Side note: I’m not sure if this Uplink’s range should be limitless, so the players can focus on just killing the boss. Or the range should be limited (but still greater than normally), to force the players to juggle between staying in the zone and damaging the boss.
Damaged Uplink - Something destroyed the critical components of this uplink and they need to be replaced. Mission Control will send you a 3D Printer that will give you an endless supply of these components - Similar to the Tritilyte Crystal.
Grab the Component, bring them into the Uplink and insert them. Once all components are replaced, you need to hammer fix the uplink to proceed. All while the bugs harass you.
Side note: I’m thinking these components should be fragile, so that if they hit the ground they get destroyed and you need to pick new ones. You can still throw them from player to player, but make sure that you catch them mid-flight.
I have one more idea but I reached the word limit. I will send it later.
Mobile Uplink - Upon activation, this Uplink will walk around the map and try to find the best signal. You need to follow and keep close to it so the triangulation signal doesn’t drop. To make things easier the Uplink will highlight where it will go next - giving the players a brief warning if it wants to climb the wall or go down a cliff. The bugs will of course still attack the players as the Uplink moves.
Once it finally finds a good spot the usual ‘Hold the Line’ phase will start, however it will be shorter than usual due to good signal.
Side note: Each of these new Uplinks should have a unique look so players can easily identify what they should expect. Mk.2 for example could be bigger, with a more complex model and painted orange - while the Mobile Uplink could look similar to M.U.L.E.
I also have no idea how to add more variety on the ‘Fuel the Drop Pod’ phase.

GK2 OC: Stealth Shield Generator: R&D got their hands on military technology! No one knows how but keep in mind the Companys Motto: Dont ask. If you hold the GK2 you get invisible for most bugs (Exceptions are: Opressor , Bulk detonator, Any Dreadnought Variant and adds (sentinels and dread swarmers), BetC and Korlok. If you got already targeted by bugs they still will attack you regardless of stealh mode. Any action except sprinting and jumping breaks stealth mode wich means taking damage/ throwing flares changing weapons or interacting with anything. If you select the GK2 it takes 5 seconds until stealth gets active. While stealth is active your shield is offline to channel the energy to the stealth device. If you get damage while in stealth mode you get 3 additional seconds until your shield regenerates and stealth needs 30 seconds until it can be used again. +Stealth Mode -Basically anything else if you screw up 😄 could be a unbalanced OC (also stealth mode could add that you cant sprint or limited by time for only being active for 10 seconds until it stays off for 5 seconds again if its still too strong)

An idea for the fueling phase:
Instead of needing to stay near the fuel cells (which makes no sense anyway), enemies will try to attack the hose and will prioritize it over dwarves when pathfinding. When the hose takes a set amount of damage, It will leak (similar to pipes in OSR). The leak would need to be repaired where it connects to the drop pod. The repair time would be significantly longer than pipes (maybe double). This would encourage people to make as short as a hose as possible and change the gameplay from the "stay in this area and don't die" snoozefest.

Introducing: Corrupted Overclocks.
What is that you may ask: R&D Won't deliver the goods, so we must make them ourselves! (Just don't tell them.) By sacrificing 2 or 3 Overclocks you can craft overclocks that take stats from other overclocks and mix them together. Don't like the Fat Man having too much damage and low ammo? Mix it with an ammo overclock and sacrifice that damage for ammo instead, yielding a Corrupted Fat Man OC. You would be able to pick which parts of an OC you wanna mix.
Overclock 1: Fat Man. (Nuke Explosion selected.)
Overclock 2: Pack Rat. (Ammo selected.)
End OC: Corrupted Fat Man OC.
Fat Rat or Pack Man (Some creative name could be used based on the OC's used.)
Corrupted Overclock
- Shoots mini nuclear warheads that do moderate damage in a medium area.
- ((No ammo penalty.))
- Low projectile velocity.
The options are endless for new creative Overclocks. Mix Fatman with Clean Sweep to get even more AOE for the Fat man.. Perhaps a cluster grenade launcher.
Additionally you would need to gather the ERR Cubes to craft Corrupted Overclocks, finally giving them a proper use and ending the question from our old friends. "What is that..?"
The price of these would obviously be high as you'd sacrifice multiple overclocks to get one. Stats would vary based on what you mix together.
(Reposted to show image in post. Image is fake and just a representation of what these OC's could look like)
Thanks @humble rapids for discussing and coming up with the idea together.

- Sentinels spawn constantly throughout the fight, but in smaller quantities than currently. Up to a cap of 5 or so.
- The Hiveguard's health would be split amongst its horns and butt, which need to be destroyed one after the other. When it first appears, only the side horns are available. After you destroy those, the center horn becomes available.
- Increase the health of the horns and turn them into a 1x or 1.5x weakpoint (they are currently neither a weakpoint nor armor). The side horns together would have health equal to 1/3 of the total health of the Hiveguard, but damaging either will damage the hiveguard. The top horn would also have 1/3 of the Hiveguard's health.
- After the three horns are destroyed, the remainder of the fight will be like the current "third stage," with the Hiveguard in a "rage mode" shooting molten rocks everywhere. This would also be 1/3 of the Hiveguard's health. Sentinels would continue to spawn during this stage, possibly at an accelerated rate to heighten the danger.
The point of this is to make the Hiveguard a less tedious, more dynamic fight while keeping its unique feature of having to deal with trash. However, instead of just being an ammo sponge that breaks up the action, the sentinels would be turned into trash that need to be worked around.
One side benefit to this change is that the horns don't get a benefit from freezing, so giving 2/3 of the Hiveguard's health to the horns would reduce how overpowered cryo is on at least one of the dreads, but driller would still have the ability to take care of the sentinels that way.

I already talked about this a while ago but I'll try again because I think it would be a nice qol : Elephant Round (bulldog oc) should have a huge increased in stun chance and stun duration. I feel this way because I'm using the ER bulldog to take down big targets (I suppose every player uses ER this way because you don't want to waste the few ammo you have on smaller enemies). But even that amount of damage is not enough to kill most of those big targets fast (it is not THAT slow ofc don't get me wrong).
That's where the huge stun buff would helps ! Keeping the target immobile for a good 3 seconds allow you to deal with it more easily.
I also think that such a huge calibre shot at such speed would cause severe trauma to the target, hence the stun.
I might be wrong, maybe ER simply need more damage. Or maybe ER is fine as it is I'm not sure, but to me it is not that good. It's fun to use for sure though

Do something so that F11 doesn't window the game.
I have multiple monitors, everything defaults to the monitor 1 even though I launch games on monitor 2 by default, meaning that if I accidentally hit F11 instead of F12(the default screenshot key for steam) I have to cock my head to the left, which is awkward to play like because my mouse is on the right side of my right monitor.
The only way to fix this is to stop, go into settings, and change my resolution to something lesser so that I can see the window bar and drag it back over to my right monitor, then set it back to fullscreen window.

Hey guys, would it be possible to make commands for Molly when you hold C? sometimes I'll be mining something and she will wander off or I need to run away from some bugs and she will try to follow, having a stay command, a patrol command and maybe even being able to send the MULE to other members of my team would be super helpful, or possibly even using the waypoint marker to ping where you want Molly to go?

Sometimes Molly is getting possessed and refuses to go back to the escape pod, it's a known bug. Few players know that the escape pod automatically opens a few moments before leaving if that happens though. It could be a tip or even shown in the tutorial so when it first happens the players know that they definitely still have a chance to win.

One, a railgun that locks onto a target and fires a single shot, high damage projectile that encourages miners to find cover. Two, a magma turret that specializes in area denial by placing pools of molten rock on the floor. And three, a freeze ray to freeze targets so the oppressor's strength can shatter them.

This is sort of a big suggestion, but I think it would be really cool to have an underwater mission/cave type. The way I imagined it is that the pod lands in small landing, (which is not underwater) and then you have to order diving gear by doing some task similar to uploading something like in the salvage missions. You will then get a drop with the diving gear, which your dwarf can put on and go into the water infront of the landing. Then I don't really have an idea of the sort of mission types that you could implement underwater, I think mining missions and refinery missions would be really cool. Some new underwater specific enemies (I'm not just talking glyphids in different colors) that are special to underwater caves. I think that this would freshen the game up a bit and make it a bit more interesting, or it either is just an annoyance. Not sure yet, just a suggestion.

i would really like a pet slug about the size of a head named glubby on the rig ...
adding to my suggestion from before, here’s some more stuff
all dwarves present are by glubby: “Hey, where’d you go? Ugh, Management really needs to fire the guy who did the camera work.” -mission control
there is a camera by glubby but it has an oily oaf mug over the lens
glubby is randomly sometimes in the background of the victory/loss screen just vibin (very low chance, like 0.5%)
when petting glubby:
scout voice line example: “I’m too sneaky for management!”
gunner example: “The only slug I couldn’t fire.”
driller example: “I’ve always had a soft spot for a pet who can dig.”
engineer example: “I sometimes wonder if you’d like my L.U.R.E.”
these arent too great but im sure whoever writes the dwarves’ voice lines would do a better job

Two new Scout overclock ideas:
Deepcore GK2: Hyperburst Mechanism
"After-action evaluations uncovered a worrying pattern of greenbeards seeing their first bug, screaming "Oh my beard there's too many of them." and emptying their entire magazine into the nearest vaguely bug shaped thing, most likely another dwarf. R&D rectified this issue by introducing a new variant of the GK2 which fired in blazing fast 3-round bursts. This modification proved incredibly unpopular, and was scrapped immediately. However, this new overclock will reconfigure your gun back into a burst-fire rifle with added functionality."
+30% weakpoint damage.
x3 firerate increase.
Replaces full-auto with a 3-round burst with a 0.66 second delay between bursts.
-50 maximum ammo.
Boomstick: Riot Shells
"Security team issued "Non-lethal" rubber rounds, with extra emphasis on the quotation marks. Such shells are designed to stun & incapacitate rather than outright kill. This doesn't mean they won't kill, so quit daydreaming about your ideas for "hysterical" pranks, unless you want Management to make you rewatch the "Friendly Fire, And Its Unfriendly Consequences" training video."
-60% Spread.
+30% Stun chance.
On weakpoint hit: Pellets have a 60% chance to bounce and hit another enemy. This can only happen once for each pellets so you can't get a theoretical infinite-bouncing stun projectile.
Pellet count reduced by 2.
Damage reduced by 4.
Shockwave damage is reduced by 10.

Idea for LOK1 SMART RIFLE to work with turret.
Now I now what im going to say might either be impossible or stupid, but I wanna know if this is a good idea.
The hawkeye system on the turrets are kinda annoying to use and just waste time, but wouldn't it work amazingly if it targeted tracked enemies.
So you target an enemy with your rifle and when you fire the turrets also shoots at the target. I could see this making the turret feeling more like a weapon and less like a utility option.
I dont think it should have the same burst fire as the rifle unless it becomes a mod option like turret whip on the shotty.
Just as a note, im not sure if the devs have said anything about making the hawkeye more desirable and less of a crappy option.

Trying to dig through the terrain makes the area as if you struck a creature (no water physics though)
Giant organs would decorate the area as well. Pulsating organs.
It would be a very hostile biome whose unique creatures could be inspired by our immune system. Like White Slimes that will swallow you whole if they catch you - suffocating and burning you with acid until someone helps you. They would not let you go if you die.
Natural hazards could be pits leading to digestive organs - whose walls hurt when you touch them.

Glyphid Ant Lion : Hides in low small holes if a dwarf is unlucky enough to fall in it traps it until bosco or one of your fellow dwarfs help you (similar to a leech but with way less damage but better hidden)
Special: Living Slime: A gooey mass wich looks like slime of fungus bogs but moves slowly or stays still if in any dwarfs vision if not it slowly follows you and does damage over time as long as you touch it.
Funghi Glyphid/macteras: On fungus bogs some of the enemies have funghi grow on them wich makes them like a zombie they are less agressive and sometimes attack their own but if they hit you they add a short visibility effect like the slime and stun you for 0.5-1 second
Wall eye monster: (since the eyes are wierd without explanation) small rock monsters wich resemble a ebonite glypid a bit but feature a big scary eye instead of the mouth and they try to jump onto you to stun you (but are rather slow to counter that)
Event/Boss Level: Heartstone corrupted mule: A molly where a dumb dwarf put the hearstone inside and the AI got nuts. with the psychic powers of the heart stone the mule augumented itself from old dorreta and drop/ supply pod parts to a actual tankdozer/mule hybrid wich features a cannon mounted minigun as secondary and a built in shield generator (shield can be drained and stays off for a while until it recharged)

Rip legs off if you hit an unarmored part hard enough, makes them slightly slower. Pour salt on them and watch them sizzle! Well, not that last one, but you get the idea. More ways to squash an insect would be cool.

A ranged naedocite that sends arcs of electricity towards you, it can extend its range by connecting the attack with a shocker or having it jump between a whole chain of shockers, though each jump retains a range of only a few meters. Visually it would be a good bit bigger than most naedocites (cave cruiser size at maximum) and have it's appendages extend further so they can have the electricity arc between the while it consolidates the charge for an attack

New Enemy Idea
Naedocyte Lancer
A big flying naedocyte with four long barbed tentacles hidden under chitinous plates (breakable heavy armor, like Glyphid Praetorian or Mactera Brundle), which it uses to jab at the nearby dwarfs similarly to Stabber Vine from Hollow Bough. In addition it should have a weakpoint on it's bottom (where the tentacles come from), requiring the player to put themselves at direct threat of the tentacles to deal bonus damage to the Lancer (an element of risk/reward).
It would be a rarer type of enemy, that could appear during the swarms, like Praetorians and Brundles.
Drifting through the air towards players until it reaches a certain distance, at which it would start letting out a loud humming/buzzing sound and start stabbing with equal intervals (similarly to how Stabber Wines make a wood crackling sound when aggroed).

an enemy that only spawns so long as you have a 2nd player with you...a kinda "jockey bug" if you will...have seen something like it in another game but all it did was move you towards danger...well what if instead of that it kinda "takes over" the player using them agents one another rendering player 1 unable to move on there own and automatically hunt down and attack the rest of the team till another player shoots it off....for balancing purposes might want to make it die in 1 hit
with one of the lines of the controlled dwarf can be "GET IT OFF ME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!!!"

active perk: twice while downed, per mission, you can force all enemies within a like 5/10/15 meter radius to target you. they will stay targeted on you until you get revived (doesn't work on enemies that normally wouldn't target a downed dwarf)
whilst alive, you can trigger the same perk to take damage designated for allied players within a 10 meter radius (at just a 60/45/30 second cooldown), and prevent them from taking damage, albeit with a 5/10/15% damage reduction on your part.
please note, this cannot be used to tank bulk det or dreadnought slams

new driller secondary weapon: the RIV37
a modified construction tool used back in the days when management couldn't be assed to come up with self deploying mineheads and such. after a few nasty encounters with the local population of hoxes, some of the workers took to overriding the safeties on their tools, in the event a swarm comes and the pointmen were too hungover to shoot straight. while generally frowned upon, the introduction of self deploying constructions led to more widespread use of the rivet gun's more brutal use
essentially bastardizes a precision and machine pistol into one sidearm. tapping the fire button shoots out a superheated(does not initially do fire damage) bolt with added damage, while holding it will let out the heated bolt followed by a series of smaller rivets. tap tap for heavy targets, hold down for swarms

Passive Perk Idea
Mining Shanty
Saluting now triggers your dwarf to start singing. Saluting with the right timing will continue the song.
There is no benefit to doing that.
This is a joke perk similarly to "It's a Bug Thing".
rotund magnet
similar vein! my suggestion is to implement a call and response song mechanic to DRG where through an event, or by the players, dwarf hard labour song singing can happen.
if in that time you press/hold V, your dwarf takes part in the next line of the song.
an example among many for how this might sound if done well (albeit with more punctuation by gunfire maybe), would be:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2eSSC0O5KI
why do i think think this is worth considering, even though it has no real benefit to the game? dwarves singing (about gold) while mining is c a n o n, hard labour songs are pretty boss, and it continues the DRG tradition of using emotes for creating a neat bonding effect.

You can hold a maximum of 2/3/4 Rocks wich can be gathered by mining terrain (only by pickaxe not drills or explosives) (5 second cooldown between throws)

My pitch for a new gunner secondary: Laser Pistol
This is a beam type weapon where holding down the trigger would fire one continuous accurate laser. It would obviously have a faster firerate than the revolver and burst pistol in exchange for lower damage. It would overheat similar to the mini-gun and plasma pistol. To make it more unique, it would be able to pierce three enemies without any mods. Perhaps it could also have some minor mining capabilities.
Some overclock ideas I had were:
Unstable - Lock on targeting: Removes blowthrough and reduces ammo heavily. Allows for a lock on mode where targeting a single bug will slowly ramp up the damage over 4 seconds. Once it is locked on to a target the laser will bend toward it as long as the crosshair is decently close to the target, similarly to the Lok's smart bullets
Unstable - Infinite Beam: Allows for infinite piercing that ignores armor but reduces damage
Balanced - Star wars blaster: changes the way the Laser pistol behaves to make it similar to a blaster from Star Wars. Could function like the default plasma pistol but with increased accuracy and weakpoint damage to make it more unique.
Balanced - Fire Beam: adds fire damage to the beam allowing you to set fire to multiple enemies at once. Gun overheats way faster and has less ammo
Clean - adds a little bit of ammo and allows beam to cut through terrain

The pheromon canister could be a little bit better. I know it's supposed to give you some breathing room but when compared to the other options it's less interesting imo : why make the bugs fight each other for 10 little seconds when you could just freeze every enemy (and one shot swarmers and mosquitoes) or slowing a big swarm while applying a long resistance debuff to them ?
The phero could poison enemies. I know it's similar to the neurotoxin grenade, the main difference being that enemies won't be affected if they are not in the initial "splash".
Or we could simply carry 6 phero at a time, simple yet effective
@glad tide Also suggested that dead bugs could attract enemies, like downed dwarves do but I don't know if it's possible.

Sugar Syringe: active perk: whenever you would pickup red sugar when at full health, you still pick it up but it will only charge the ability (maybe 100 health from sugar to full charge) when it is fully charged, you can activate the ability to use the stored health to heal yourself for 100(or double tap the activate key to heal an ally that is next to you for 75) using the ability will have a long animation (about as long as reviving, maybe longer just for balancing reasons) and the heal will only take effect at the end of animation. Potentially with a few voice lines, when healing yourself it would say “If only I could taste this!” or something along those lines. If you were healing an ally, it would say “You need this more than me, brother.” “Let’s keep going, friend” “a dwarf never dies, let’s keep it that way.” (Something like this has probably been suggested before, but I feel like some sort of healing perk would help in haz 5 and the like)

Weapon Mod: Fueled Drills
Currently the meta leans towards the cryo cannon. I'm not a fan of it all things considered, since the gameplay becomes redundant when one cryo driller wipes the floor.
So with a bit of inspiration from the Drg chat, I invented what I am calling the Fueled Drills mod.
Drills do 2.5x damage to targets inflicted with the fire status.
Drill .25x faster

Give Molly a unique sound effect (that of being vague, robotic pain or annoyance) if you "accidentally" hit her with your pickaxe.

2 suggestions. #1. Flooded caves. Certain caves are flooded. There are air pockets. You get oxygen tanks (5-6 mins or less.) you can only get more oxygen threw resupply. #2. Dorretta retrieval. A group of dwarves failed their mission to escort the drilldozer and died. The drilldozer is still intact, but out of fuel. It can either be at the hearthstone or halfway. You must repair it, but the navigation has gone bad, therefore it must be manually driven to the hearthstone.

We allowed scout to put in his two cents on the menu and here's what we got.
A brew blended in with only the finest Glyphid energy drink, it comes in a glass with an LED bottom that glows in accordance to the 4 teams role colors (so 1 of each color), the glass itself is nearly obsidian with a razor sharp looking image cause we all know scouts a gamer.
All interactions are 5% faster +5% per dwarf interacting.
Modular encounters sounds like a fun idea but who necessarily needs it to be from a rival mining faction? I like the idea of left over tech but think it could expand to more interesting events. Rather than "scavenging", why not a recovery mission of a defunct scouting systems regional information? Could be used as daily rotational mission that's segmented into two parts, a deep dives "we must go deeper" extraction game and then a randomly generated mechanical boss cave system with artificial lighting in damaged tunnel segments.
This is like the weekly deep dives but more chill since it's 2 missions instead of three with a single blank or written core drop on the completion of the 2 assignments.

The W730 Competitor, a new secondary for Gunner:
"A classic in action movies, competition shooting, and dwarven mining expeditions, the W730 Competitor is a lever-action, tube-fed shotgun that packs a hell of a punch."
The W730 would be like a futuristic looking Winchester 1887 shotgun, in the same way that the M1000 is based off the M1 Garand rifle. The Gunner would hold it 1 handed, spinning the shotgun to eject & cycle new rounds a-la Terminator. This would both just be very satisfying, but also act as a point of balance. You get the power of a shotgun in your secondary slot, but it's gonna be far slower than the Warthog or the Boomstick.
Damage wise, the W730 would feature a small count of pellets that do high damage. 5 pellets that do 15 damage each, totalling to 75. This makes it distinct from the other shotguns in that its smaller pellet count combined with its low rate of fire would mean much more rewarding hits, but much more punishing misses. Aim well.
Speaking of aim, the spread of the shot wouldn't be too terrible. Less accurate than the Warthog, for sure, but nowhere near as wide as the Boomstick. A decent tool at close ranges to get riff raff off of you, but it's not gonna be doing any sniping any time soon.
Ammo management is an issue with it, naturally. 5 shots in the magazine, 20 in reserve. Reloading the W730 is a longer process than most firearms, as you must individually load shells into the tube. This can be interrupted at any time to stop loading the gun in an emergency.
And finally, recoil. You're 1-handing a 12 gauge, it's gonna kick. Very high recoil.
I think a shotgun would make a great secondary for Gunner, filling a fun niche that the plinking & sniping capabilities of the revolver, and general DPS of the burst pistol don't fulfill. Additionally (Update 35 spoilers) ||It'd make a great secondary to pack with the new Hurricane Missile Launcher, assuming it does self damage.||

Secondary Ideas for Upcoming Updates:
Driller:D360 Mini Missile launcher: Shoots small unguided rockets wich do impact damage and under circumstances more. Since driller is a bit a mactera Hunter (Subata with mactera upgrade or cryo) it does more damage against airborne targets BUT since the rocket is rather slow it needs practice to hit. The rockets deal no Real AOE damage but can fear/stun with upgrades in a small aoe.

Telekinesis - Active Perk
By using an ancient dwarven magic you can manipulate the world with just your mind.
Pick up a medium-sized bug or a big mineral chunk. The picked up object will float a short distance in front of you. You can use it as a shield against enemy projectiles, wait for your teammates to kill it, gently drop it, or throw it at enemies - dealing damage to the target(s) and, if you threw a bug, deal damage to the bug that was thrown. (3 min cooldown if used that way.)
If the bug dies while being picked up, his corpse can still deal damage. But you can’t pick up an already dead corpse. (This is to prevent other players from griefing, either by accident or intentionally)
Using the perk while pointing at small mineral chunks will bring them to you, either to be collected or to fall at your feet if you don’t have any more space left. (30 sec cooldown if used that way.)
You can’t shoot, switch weapons, interact with anything, throw grenades or use pickaxe while this perk is in effect.

To increase the variety of Lootbugs and chances of players going “Wow, now that’s funny.” How about more rare variants of the Lootbug.
Sonic Lootbug
This boy learned that speed is key to success and food. Therefore he read a book on how to be s p e e d.
This lootbug is 10 or 20 TIMES faster than a normal lootbug. (A normal lootbug is pretty slow so this big increase… will probably not mean that much. Maybe. I don’t know.)
Molly Lootbug
This rascal decided to raid the greatest treasury of food in Hoxxes. The M.U.L.E.
This lootbug will suddenly appear on top of Molly when no one is looking. No one knows how it got there but don’t worry, this Lootbug has no idea how to get into the mineral storage so it won’t be able to steal anything. It’s just there to look pretty and surprise the players.
Super Lootbug
Through an unknown means, this lootbug became impervious to all means of damage. Bullets will bounce off, pickaxes will break. Nothing will penetrate it’s skin. Nothing but love.
This lootbug has INFINITE HEALTH... but he will explode and die after being petted a couple of times.
Dreadnaught Lootbug
Oh lawd he’s coming!
This lootbug is like… really, really big. It’s still harmless though.
Bonus points if it has a boss healthbar like other Dreadnaughts.
Side note: I think that none of these lootbug variants should use a different skin/color like the Golden Lootbug. These are more meant as an easter egg that you rarely find and confuse you for a moment until you check the laser pointer.

- Missiles tend to spiral and drift away, leading to poor control
and accuracy.

Idea for New Mission Type (I know not if someone has already suggested a similar idea or if these ideas are even encouraged but here we go)
Hive Extermination
Briefing: Alright Boys, there is an active Glyphid Hive nearby that we need you to take care of, we are sending you down with a specialized device to kill the active hives. Get in, plant the device, and defend it while it does its work. Expect an increased amount of glyphid activity.
Concept: A mission design similar to dreadnought missions where you head down and destroy objectives in the cave system. There are 'devices' dropped down with you by the drop pod and the dwarves will need to carry these to points in the map, deploy, and defend them from the swarm.
While the dreadnought missions focus on single powerful bosses, these will test miners' conservation skills as they fight through an increased amount of glyphids with reduced wave timers as they attempt to take out the glyphid breading grounds. The devices will need to be carried to these locations, set down, and activated. More devices can be retrieved from the starting area if lost or destroyed. (Similar to Event Bomb dispenser)

We saw in the latest stream that the corrosive sludge Canon has 125 max ammo (including 25 in clip) I wish it was divisible by 2 (resupply) as well as a multiple of 4. That's because the charge shots cost 4 ammo each iirc. 125 is an odd number. Perhaps 140 with 20 in each mag? Or 24 per mag and 120. Right now 100 reserve seems really low. But to be fair, I haven't used it yet.

It would be cool to have a stealthy enemy type. 🕵️
Name : Mactera Stalker
Inspiration : Assassin rats from Warhammer Vermintide.
Description : Bipedal praying mantis looking aliens. A dark shade of purple. Claws emit a dark red light with trails when preparing to attack. It's outline is faintly visible when cloaked. They have wings, making them a type of mactera, but rarely uses them. Has glowing weak spot on butt.
Powers : Can turn invisible, except for the claws. Cloak drops for a short time if shot or after attack. Has powerful claws that charge up to deal a lot of damage.
Behavior : Only attacks from the back. Will stalk its prey and avoid it if it groups up. Once they are alone it will sneak up and charge an attack, emitting a faint chittering noise and a reddish light. It is very cowardly, however, and will run away if approached head-on or attacked.
AI : A little bit like a Boo from Mario. Remains immobile when in line of sight (but invisible). If player gets too close or shoots it, it will run away in an erratic zig-zag pattern. If player(s) aren't looking in its direction, it will sneak closer. At 3 metres of target it will charge attack. If it hits it will become visible then fly up in the air and vanish. If it misses or its attack is interrupted it will fall over for 2 seconds, then scurry away while remaining visible for longer.
Gameplay : Fortunately, the Stalker has a very pungent stench (worse than a maggot), a side-effect of its cloaking biology. This causes the dwarves to comment for example "Urgh, this place reeks of Stalker, keep your eyes and ears open guys!". Tagging will not give its outline when cloaked, but it will leave a marker with a voice line "Oi! There's a sneaky Stalker hiding here! Shoot it!!".
Lore : A recent addition to the swarm, it appears to have evolved specifically to combat the Dwarven intruders, since its cloaking is virtually useless in the dark ecosystem full of blind aliens. It is most closely related to the Grabber.

New Boss/Mission/Machine Event Idea : Deserted DRG Employee: In the old times when DRG landed on Hoxxes they thought it was smarter to send single employees with a Combat suited Mech and machines who can convert red sugar to food and harvest water Down to the dephts of hoxxes. But that this would backfire was just too obvious. Power corrupts and so does (maybe) the truth about the company, but only they know it and it should stay with them.
Well Fast Forward, Management wants You to take them out before they risk the life of other employees or harvest all of the nearby resources for their own. Just be carefull they hit like a truck (Literally) and where made to combat Dreadnoughts close and personal so keep your distance they dont have much ranged gear and are slow)
A large mech with a cockpit wich is the weakpoint for 400% damage instead of the normal the mech has 8k hp and a built in shield generator wich has 1k and reloads itself after 1 minute after being turned off (you can decide to go in the shield to deal damage but risk of getting hit my his meele fists wich deal 100 Damage and Knock you around like a frozen detonator or to stay in distance where it can only shoot with 2 guns on his shoulders the bolts travel rather slow and do just impact damage for 20 at a fire rate of 4 per second (they can only shoot if they have free line of fire) also the mech can dig towards you or fly if it cant dig but its around the speed of a detonator so just keep your distance. Sometimes it can turn its shield smaller just to the cockpit so you can deal damage and it gets stationary to use a huge Railgun on its back it needs 10 seconds to charge and targets one player it is piercing (not trough terrain but trough players and npcs) and downs instant if getting hit (1k damage) if you manage to destroy the mech the pilot dies as well (it remains a mystery who he was since you cant actually see him (so no humanoid AI or signs who he was)

I'm sure you're aware of all the various minerals in the game. Morkite, Nitra, and Umanite to name a few. These all have fantastic textures and models when deposited on the walls or ground. Except there's one problem. When you mine them and your inventory is full, they drop as little nuggets on the ground, which you can pick up if you have room for them. And the problem lies with these. Now, while there are 12 different minerals in the game, there are only 3 models for these little nuggets. Only three. And we really need more. And they're not even evenly split up! Red Sugar & Morkite both use one that looks like a crystal chunk, Gold & Dystrum use the lumpy looking one, and every other one uses the triangular shaped one, most notably nitra. Enor Pearls too - so once you process the pearls, they get cut into triangular pieces like Nitra? It doesn't many any sense! I propose, that several more models are added, to increase variety. Sharing models, there's no problem with that, but when 60% of all resources use one model, that's a bit excessive. Perhaps Enor Pearls, when you get them out of a cargo crate / lost pack (only way to get them in nugget form), come as a bunch of little spheres stuck together! How about Croppa? That one's got a bunch of spikes sticking out of it. So what about a shape that's got little spikes? Bismor's in the shape of a cube, so make its model a cube! How about you make Umanite's glow a little in the dark! Or make Hollomite's a cone, to reflect the shape it's generated in! Maybe Jadiz could be a miniature version of the large chunks it spawns in. There are so many options. Please add some variety. It would be a nice subtle touch.

Layered Shield - Perk? Mod? I have no idea...
This new model of personal shielding projects multiple layers of strong, but brittle shields. When struck, the outermost layer will shatter and disperse the energy of the attack. This allows you to shrug off slow and powerful blows, but you’re more susceptible to chip damage. Not only that but this shield won’t protect you at all from fall damage or Damage-Over-Time effects.
Instead of having 25 shield hp (30 with Overcharger mod) , your shield will protect you for a specific amount of hits (Let’s say… 4). Each enemy, be it a tiny swarmer or an Elite Bulk Detonator, will take out 1 hit for each hit they do.
The cooldown is also different. The timer is slightly lower and doesn’t reset after getting hit. It resets after recharging a layer. So if it takes you 5 seconds to recharge a layer, it will take you 15 seconds to get 3 layers.
Side note: Overcharger mod adds 1 more layer.
TL;DR: An alternative shield like in FTL - Faster than Light, more suited for fighting hard-hitting opponents like Dreadnaughts.

the driller's animation when you reload with a full magazine involves spinning around one of the fuel tanks. however, because this animation also plays if you have no more reserve ammo left, it doesn't always make sense. when no reserve ammo is left, he should have a different animation. my suggestion is that he turns a dial on the weapon briefly to make the small flame at the front way bigger for a moment (or change color or something)

Some thoughts on new weapons as it pertains to their design in light of update 35 delays.
============ GOO GUN ==================
- Both cryo and flame primaries for driller allow damage multiplication intervals for driller et. al.. Elemental interactions with goo might be a way to open up combo potential but thought should be given to combos enabled on mods of other weapons.
- Larger targets should have higher goo saturation capacity such that we can stack it on larger things like Praet's and oppressors. A goo gauge on afflicted targets indicating how at capacity for dots they are would be excellent.
============= Smart Rifle ======================
- Smart Rifle has a nebulous weapon distinction of being a "rifle" while being listed as an SMG. It appears to fire interim cartridges like an assault rifle or perhaps it fires a sub-interim cartridge like a .30 carbine (M1 carbine ww2) or FN 5.7x28mm NATO (FN P90). This either puts it in the assault rifle weapon class, or the pdw weapon class. Either, class it as an assault rifle and mark it as such in the terminal, or call it a PDW.
- The smart rifle design makes mods that allow for greater lock on count to counteract mods/oc's that are activated on full lock on. This is a design blunder.
- The smart rifle being able to electrocute enemies on 3+ lock-ons eats into the stubby's space and I don't like it.
- The smart rifle lacks a turret interaction like turret whip or em discharge, and for engi players who enjoy this mechanic like myself this is disappointing.
- The smart rifle should allow players to choose whether to emphasize normal shot, locked shot, or hybrid builds. Right now most of the mods are purely lock on oriented.
Ideas to make Caustic Mire more interesting if it ever ends up being added:
Style it as a waste dumping zone rather than a volcanically-active area. This makes it less likely to feel like Magma Core's domain and gives us extra options for interesting scenery. There could be "contaminated sludge" in certain areas like hot rock in the Magma Core or ground slime in the Fungus Bogs. Bugs could have mutated and nasty variants; maybe some could even have acid for blood, letting us recreate scenes from Aliens! I guess you could also add some hot springs or tar pits, but focusing on the industrial waste part of it would probably work better.
Abandoned equipment could also be present in the area, such as broken-down M.U.L.E husks or dead Bosco units. Maybe BET-C could have a higher chance of spawning, but that might be unbalanced. Best of all, though, it would give us an excuse to have
KICKABLE BARRELS!
I'm thinking of styling this after the Valley of Drums, which used to be a Superfund site. Barrels could be scattered all over the place, half-embedded in terrain or loose on the ground. Some could be explosive, others could be kicked or sent flying by explosions.
As for justifying its existence, maybe DRG used to use it as a dumping ground, thinking it was barren and useless, until the Space Rig underwent renovations and new scanners revealed it to be rich in minerals.
Anyway, this isn't a huge priority, as we've already gotten two new biomes and others probably won't be in the works for a while. But it might be a good thing to keep in mind going forward.

Add a replacement for the pickaxe. A bigger pickaxe, basically it would take less hits to break ground, or the same, but it also breaks a bigger radius and is slower. Does more damage against stinky bugs. And it's power attack is a sideways swing for a better aoe attack.

edit: actually i should add more information like right now at the drop pod there will be a rack and there can be multiple guns for you to select you pick it up and give it to bosco he will also have an ammo box which tells you how much ammo he has and can be refilled by supply drops but this will also count as a large object so he will have reduced speed and cant do other tasks without dropping it one idea is if ordered to do a task (other then lighting something and firing rockets) he will automatically stow the gun in the mule or if asked to drop the rifle near the player.
quick note: when out of ammo bosco will stow the gun in the mule and switched back to his regular machine guns
raven wren

eager sundial
Right now, when playing with a group, there isn't really a good way to tell your teammates to be ready to drop without the host walking into the drop pod and starting the countdown.
maybe instead of that, add a big red button that's, like, next to the ladder leading up to the drop pod catwalk that once pressed, turns all the lights in the station red like those paratrooper planes, and also have mission control say the usual voice line, but without the countdown until the host goes into the drop pod
the usual way of everyone going into the drop pod should still start the counter as usual, though, button pressed or not.

Combat Rush - Active Perk
Because some people get a bit carried away in battle.
Passive: Slightly increase your movement speed after taking a heavy hit (Damage somewhere in double digits)
Active: Significantly increase your firing speed and reload speed. You shoot uncontrollably (read: you don’t stop shooting) but every 5/4/3 shot doesn’t cost ammo.
A perk to quickly dump a lot of ammo and damage during times of crisis.

New perk suggestion: Grenadier.

somethin’s gotta be done with pheromone canisters. you only get 4 of em and they last only 10 seconds. Ifgs last for 15 and are in most situations just as good as stalling enemies, plus they have some offensive capabilities.
I think increasing the pheromone duration to 20 or 30 seconds could help, or alternatively just let scout take 6 cans.
dusk vigil
so had an idea, not really sure WHAT to call it, but the specifics is that on higher hazard levels, there's a chance that a mission type might be different in some way. nothing too big, but enough of a change to give some variety
mining: some pockets of morkite will have a much harder "outer crust" which takes more more effort to break through
egg hunt: the nest now have built in defenses to deter any would be egg theives. the defenses will be clearly visible, and can be removed through damage
refinery: chance that when the designated "repair segment" pops up, the pumpjack itself will be jamed instead of the pipes. something about "morkite solids jaming the gears" or something
extraction: aquarq now comes in RBY colors, with random colors of each being needed. nothing over 4 for each one tho
escort: bad news, charge suckers. occasionally while on the move, a charge sucker will come crawling to latch onto doretta. if it manages to get onto her, doretta will stop in place and let out a warning sound(with her head spining around like a siren for comedic effect). pop the bugger to get her to start going again
salvage: escape pod requires a little extra TLC, couple of parts are missing and need replacing. mission control will drop down a small cargo container with some critical components that need to be attached and fixed to the pod
foggy epoch
Add a mustache twirl for a finisher if there inst one already
formal garden
A possibility to reward entire team with something like "customased personal badge or trophy" that they can collect.
Details for it could be open from Cargo Crates, or may be Machine Events, or Lost Gear (as you wish).
May be it will be something like a resource (I mean, you had some amount of it, and need to forge or farm a new one) to make it more valuable.
Sometimes I has a really good teams of random players, and I want to give them a small present as gratitude. Beer for all is good option, but less memorable.

Concealment - Active Perk
Using knowledge you gained from dozens of lessons on stealth and camouflage, as well wasting several cans of deodorant to hide your scent, you managed to briefly hide your presence from the swarming hordes of Glyphids.
Upon activation all but the closest bugs will lose the scent of you. Enemies further than [X] meters will no longer target you. Even the biggest of bugs like Dreadnaughts or Bulk Detonators.
Attacking or mining with pickaxe will immediately cancel the effect, but you can safely interact with the environment.

new dreadnought type: skulker
essentially a spindly emancipated looking beast, trading in armor and health, for increased speed and mobility. moving fast, leaping about, and dodging shots. one upside is that it's lack of armor means it's not as resistant to status effects as it's bulkier brothers(more than a praetorian, but nowhere neat as good as other dreads). overall being less of an endurance match, and more of getting in enough shots on it to bring it down

If we're getting new weapons, we should also get more than 3 loadout slots. Having only 3 slots can be a bit annoying for if you want to make different loadouts based on specific overclocks or upgrades, adding a third weapon to each class will just leave less room for experimentation.
little monolith
Warthog Rocket Slugs.(Overclock. Unstable). The cone/pellets are replaced with a single projectile that rockets out the barrel at a horrifying speed. It's designed to explode inside a monster large enough to justify overkill. (Upsides) -higher singel target damage-.All the damage of a shotgun compressed into a single projectile. Explodes moments later dealing additional damage.(Downsides) -aiming required- The effective range is limited to the fuel inside. At a certain point the Slug effectively drops out of the air and becomes inert. Will not explode if it misses its target. Noticeably lower mag size.
fickle nexus
Make it so that Mission Control can interrupt himself once context lines start playing but quickly lose their context. Mostly thinking about when all dwarves have entered the droppod almost instantly after Molly was loaded on, and we're already half-way through departing as MC goes "Make it snappy team, the pod won't hang around forever!"
I suggest that he'd catch himself by coughing, then going "Right, I see you beat me to it miners." or "Pardon, my intercom must be delayed." It's a small thing, but I've noticed it so many times that it's become a bit jarring, and this would fix that while adding even more flair and detail to DRG.

Vampiric Bullets - M1000 Classic Unstable Overclock (I need a better name for it)
Rumors say that the R&D contracted some vampire wizards to help them with this. No one knows how this really works so… be careful with it.
Infinite reserve ammo (Still need to reload. Read the rest before voting)
Hitting weak spots heal you.
Shooting costs a lot of health (Ignores shield. Cannot fire if your health is below the required amount.)
Side note: I’m thinking the costs should be somewhere beyond how much you can regenerate by waiting. Maybe somewhere 30%-40% health per shot. Just so you don’t actually have infinite ammo as people might think on the first glance.
Regained health should be just slightly bigger than the cost. Like 2-5 points of health more than the cost. This would reward accuracy more than usual, while severely punishing missing.
TL;DR: Turn M1000 into basically a Widowmaker from Team Fortress 2, using health as ammunition.
nimble stream
The Subata needs buffs. Currently at base it does a pitiful 12 damage and barely more ammo than the EPC to compensate. It's modification chart is... jarring to say the least. There's two damage mods that add 1 damage each, then there's another which adds three? or a mod that adds 60% WPB? It makes no sense.
Subata needs a base damage and base ammo upgrade to compete with the versatility that the EPC has going for.

Okay, real talk, a x2 or x3 flashlight is not game-breaking, does not allow you to negate a flare or a scout's usefulness, and is honestly nice for some of us who hate stumbling around in the dark and have some issues with vision anyway. I currently have the gamma cranked to the MAX in game. Can we please get verified approval for a smaller flashlight mod of maybe 2x brightness? I've been using it for 4-5 months and it's REALLY not game-breaking, nor does it change how I play, in any way! I recognize some of the stronger flashlight settings could get totally crazy, but I don't think a small boost to it is unreasonable.

I would like to see little details added. For example, maybe add a few screens in the memorial hall and near the jukebox in the bar where a session host can program a slideshow of in-game screenshots to play, displaying the highs, the lows, and the funnies of their time working for DRG. I think it would make the rig more lived in, and would give a nice opportunity to share cool, crazy, and hilarious moments

Add a "Stunned" effect to the base Dreadnaught so that when it's shield is popped it becomes stunned for a few seconds, allowing the team that is fighting it to gather together and coordinate an attack, which would just be a general gameplay improvement and help build teamwork among the dwarfs

AOE damage should stun turrets that happen to get hit by them. I thought of this because I realized how weak exploders are, to the point where if you hear them you can simply counter them by walking a few steps. Having a threat to one of the groups damage sources from something that you normally wouldnt worry about would be nice
cosmic schooner
There should be better DLC. Like a second asteroid to go mine at with different aliens. There could be a whole cinematic where the space rig gets red lights flashing and warnings about an imminent collision soon. then wham a huge asteroid smashes into the current one and contains new riches and aliens. Could release another playable character or two. so on the main asteroid you have the beginning aliens and midways to the edge of the new asteroid you have new aliens. then where the new asteroid and the old one meet you can have a mix of both. With the expansion of 2 characters there could even be an addition to the space rig where the 2 characters are from a different space rig and attached to yours.

I have no idea if this has been requested but please lower the spawn rate for Detonators a bit. They’ve been spawning so often recently, at least in my games. I don’t know if I’m just unlucky or if this is a already reported issue
Also! Another idea that’s been on my mind lately. I think that the waypoints you set should be viewable to the rest of your teammates. This would allow people to permantly mark spots that are easy to miss, like little outcrops of croppa or nitra, or marking helmets or crates. I just think it would be helpful for team coordination

Alternative fire for Platform gun that allow you to place horizontal but thin platforms . the reason for making it thin/cylinder is to balance it, so it cost ammo if you want to plug a hole or entrance .
the reason behind this idea . so it make it easier to mine ores that really on top of the cave ceiling . by shooting two cylinders platform and one normal platforms at the end of them, so the ceiling ore is easily accessible by scout . not sure if this will make things less balanced because the platform gun is already great utility item .

Pressing R makes the leadstorm start depleting your shield at an arbitrary rate, brings the minigun to its normal maximum RoF and increases the maximum RoF by X% while the effect is active. The effect lasts until you run out of shields or stop shooting for Y seconds and lasts for a minimum of Z seconds. Gunner must have a positive amount of shield (blue bar) to activate.
This would synergize with his Deployable Shield, Shield Link as well as shield armor mods. Would also work best with something I suggested before. #suggestions message

Improved spatial sound would be a gamechanger
Edit: the tech exists, AND here it is integrated with Unreal 4!

First, I love Deep Rock, thanks for making a great game.
A major improvement that could be made is proper sound propagation vis-a-vis cave geometry. To DRG's credit all of the current sound samples are quite good; that said they are always roughly the same regardless of composition and shape of the cave around you.
Imagine if DRG sound propagated over geometry, carrying the signature of what it had passed through when it finally reaches dwarven ears. For example, as a Praetorian is making it's way to you, clawing its way through pits, along walls, and through tunnels, its grunts could tell and experienced dwarf which cave geometry it was passing over at that moment, greatly improving situational awareness. This would add an absolutely incredible audio-spatial aspect to the game, which after many hours would have veteran players roughly mapping out the shape of dark cave corners and tunnel openings in their heads through sound alone, and of course, being really, really immersive.
As a side note the audio would have to be mastered well, the unmixed reverberation of a firefight with four dwarves and fifty Glyphids would be computationally intensive in the extreme in addition to overwhelming players with a cacophony of noise. That said even a couple of propagated sounds mixed with mostly regular samples would maintain ambience and information, not drown the player in stimuli, and mitigate performance impact. Finally, sound is often given its own thread which can be scheduled on a separate core, perhaps a clever, minimal implementation is possible, with small performance impact, and a huge impact on the gameplay experience.
TLDR; the sound samples are good, now we need cave sound propagation with tasteful mixing. It will add an incredible audio-spatial element to the game and be deliciously immersive.

Dual Wield - Active Perk
Nothing fancy, just allows you to temporarily wield your primary and your secondary at once. (You can even reload them, somehow.)
Due to not having a third arm, you cannot use the pickaxe while this perk is in effect.
3 uses per mission.

so i have heard of that the developers might be adding in molly up grades so i was thinking. what if we could customizes our molly like what we do to the dwarfs. how every i also think it would be cool to able to give molly a voices. possibly even be able to change how it sounds. how every i think it would be funny if when molly speaks she is sarcastic and will often degrade the dwarfs. i think that this my be funny but i know some may not like it so in the customizes option you would be able to turn here voices on and off as you please.

Add a beer grenade. Enemies that get hit by the grenade get hammered and start swaying back and fourth for say ten seconds. By no means is this serious, but please do this, it’d be really funny

In the modding tab add "Disable all mods" button.
After every game in the modded lobby, I come back with many mods enabled. This leads to overstepping the limit of 25 mods and annoying disabling of each mod. One by one. Every time.
Another solution:
Store my enabled / disabled mods as a separate state.

Cool idea for a lead storm OC: Shield generator. Press R while firing to deploy a shield that originates from the barrels of the gun. It would last for 10 seconds, and would have a 45 second recharge time. The timer would start after the shield deactivates. While it’s active, it significantly reduces damage from the direction you are facing. As a penalty, you lose 10 fire rate due to the heavy shield generators on the barrels, and +0.5 spin up and spin down time.
I have no clue if this would be too op, but I REALLY want to see this. And before people get on my case because “this sucks, it makes the shield generator useless!” It would only defend you from a certain direction, and it would take a very coordinated team to make this work well and support the entire team. If you ever played Titanfall 2, it would function similarly to Legion’s gun shield

it'd be interesting if a dwarf or two said something special about the biome or mission they're going into as they land. Not everytime but every once in awhile, Example for entering magma core "This place is just too damn hot!" Fungus Bogs "I hate the smell here, like spoiled milk!"

it’d be nice if improved platform stability for the minigun improved the starting spread, even if just by 75% or smth

A special type of glyphid like an acid spitter or web shooter that if you aren’t paying attention to it’ll jump on you and pin you to the ground like a cave leach, or grabber

Hello ! Yet another 2 suggestions about the Pheromon grenade because why not So first one :
If an enemy has a "special" attack pattern like praetorians's breath attack or the shellbakc's spit barrage etc, they should use it immediately after being splattered by the phero. This would ensure some more damage from special targets (especially with oppressors).
And finally :
If you use phero grenades on exploding plants 
or any type of dangerous entity (like electro crystals or poison spore fungus etc) the affected enemies should also try to target those (like it does with maggots !), leading to even more damage.

I thought about a buff for SCC but ... it sounds more like a cheesy way to make it "work". Don't judge me please I'm just trying to propose ways to help poor SCC . So :
Remove the movement speed downside on Supercooling Chamber (because Scout's signature is speed, come on) and replace it with a mag size of 1.
Why ? Because despite a charged shot using 2 ammo (technically), if you only have one last bullet in the chamber you can still do a normal charged shot. This would allow SCC to have a much better ammo economy while having a very drastic downside.
I really hope the devs won't see this as a bug though 
Also PS : I'm aware that such a change is not enough to make SCC good or even usable

Add a new mod for the Satchel Charge (C4) that increases the throw range. Ideally at tier 3.

Shooting a Gunner, who is carrying a Minigun, with a Cryo Cannon should cool down the minigun.
Same thing should apply to other ice weapons like Scout's grenades.
Thermodynamics - Passive Perk
Melee and Power attacks transfer some of your temperature to your target.
If you’re hot, hitting a bug with a pickaxe will make them hot as well. If you’re cold, it will chill them.
The transfer depends on how much heat/cold you have. The higher/lower your temperature, the more you transfer.
Power attacks transfer more than normal attacks.

So with the new Swarm video the deep rock team so kindly sent in the recent update, that gave me an idea that might have been suggested before
Can we have a Survival mode? The idea in my head works like this.
You enter the mission like normal, the mission is to simply Thin the Swarm and it starts when the team reaches the large empty cave (Huge ceiling and the like)
And upon reaching the middle the team has to survive for 5 waves, each wave spawning an increased amount of bugs until wave 5, where a boss spawns along with the mobs.
After each 5 wave mark, the drop pod will open for a few seconds, allowing the team an optional escape.
After each 10 (Or so) wave mark, a new mission passive will be applied.
I imagine the rewards to be the Blank Cores until further into the waves, then you get comsetic cores and the like. And at the last wave (In my head its 50) you get to choose exactly what core you want.
