New engi secondary idea: Gust cannon

A weapon that shoots out a giant concussive blast of air that knocks bugs back. Could do stun on the base weapon or provide the option in higher tiers. Mods could change how far out the blast goes, the knockback power, damage, ammo, how wide the gust is, and maybe even add statuses. Some potential overclocks could add cold damage in exchange for ammo and damage, remove knockback for increased stun and damage, make the shot wide and short or long and thin. Anything, just blow away all the bugs you want.

The DRAK has a particular balance problem with its mods:
At tier 2 the choice between damage and ammo egregiously favors damage. On most weapons, ammo provides more overall damage potential across all ammo, while damage increases DPS and potential damage per magazine. On the DRAK, choosing damage gives you significantly more potential damage for your 800 rounds, making choosing ammo an objectively inferior option. Increasing the ammo mod from +250 rounds to at least +400 rounds would bring the two into parity, as is the case for the same tier 2 choice on the minigun.

All right so you drop down in your drop pod with the modified mule where are you then have to go through a series of caves full of enemies. The caves get harder and harder and more hive/flesh like where The cave will split into two parts containing two heart like objects that you have to destroy/disable to get to the center of the hive. The center of the hive is entirely biomass and it’s a spiracle large cave with some sort of pulsing abomination in the middle. This is where you can then activate the nuke and have to fight off massive waves of enemies and/or A hard Bossfight. And after this objective is complete you have to run back out the way you came to get to the drop pod while the cave is collapsing around you.

So just a small idea I got will play a few games alone but, could we maybe have a Sonar system that echoes through and marks ore veins in the larger cave system and (only large cave system) for just a minute.

Additional idea: if this would be possible and works out I would say to add a limit on this sonar system to, maybe 3 or 4 depending if you are in a team or doing solo missions. As well as to activate this sonar system you would need to pull out your scanner and press maybe ( T or Q ).

As I recently played a Haunted Cave mission, I would like to be able to see the Horror when I pull out my pointer. I am glad I can see it on the 3D map, but having to check it constantly to know where it is breaks the pace I feel. Idk if it should tell the distance, but I do want it automatically highlighted similar to Molly and other DRG equipment, not just when we manually highlight it.
Putting a unique take for it, the outline is replaced by a glitchy texture, so we can gauge how close it is and the direction it is taking (the bigger the glitchy texture is, the closer it is getting) on the fly. If you do manually highlight it, it'll be highlighted like a normal enemy, but will still have a glitchy texture when looking with the pointer.

A texture change to engineers platforms when they have the Plastcrete MKII modification active on their platform gun. This way it takes the risk out of deciding to chance a jump onto a ally's platform. So you can make an informed decision if you want to jump or not. Especially important when in the midst of a dreadnaught fight or swarm and you have to make splitsecond decisions, or there's multiple engineers on the team who may not have the mod on.

Also please make Glyhpid Exploder's and the toxic variants make some kind of noise signaling their presence like the Mactera Grabber. It's highly frustrating to suddenly be immediately taken from full health to incapacitation by exploders ninja'ing their way up to you without as even a peep or chance to react until a lot of times, it's too late, or just about too late.

Stubby t5 upgrade suggestion
Inter Exchangable Ammo
You modified the stubby to fit sentry rounds. This is definetly breaking the warranty so don't tell management.
The stubby shares ammo pool with your turrets and by shooting the sentrys with the stubby you refill their ammo.
By pressing r while reloading or while unable to reload (out of extra ammo or full magazine) your sentrys target you and refill your ammo.
fire rate--
damage = turret damage (can be stacked with upgrades)
recoil ++

LOK-1 t5 upgrade suggestion
Sentry assisted ai targeting
LOK-1 gets help from the sentry ai module to lock onto enemies
LOK-1 locks onto enemies targeted by a sentry faster(stacks with itself and team mates sentrys).

I like turret whip and would like to have more interplay between turret and primary for the stubby and LOK-1
If anyone has any idea of another way the LOK-1 could have interplay with the sentrys please suggest it I think this one is really boring and its not original.

lime vault Nov 30, 2021, 10:56 PM

2 suggestions for turrets -

Turrets completely out of ammo should turn off their searchlight, and turn it on again when refilled. To increase empty turrets' visibility by players in the dark with the searchlight off, the blinking red LED indicator at the back should cast more light. Overall this change would create a distinctive difference between an empty or full turret, take less time to diagnose, and be less ambiguous in terms of "is it empty, or just pointing at the ground not acquiring targets?"
There should be a T4/T5 upgrade that allows turrets to automatically start assembling themselves when placed. This could be balanced in a few possible ways: A. making them construct themselves at half speed thus doubling the deploy time, B. not allowing the engineer to speed up the building process, or C. keeping it as a T4 upgrade so the player has to choose between that and Hawkye/Defender systems.

lootbugs dont react at all when u hit them except for a sound, maybe let them flee when being hit. And it would be nice to have the flare react when u throw it on magma (dissolve or explode or something)

winter python Dec 1, 2021, 12:55 AM

#

make flares not cast light (and visually sink into it and despawn) when on sticky goo - not the stuff from the sludge pump, just the goo bomber and sentinel goo (temporarily, obviously) and the permanent goo in the fungus bogs and maybe snow in glacial strata. That way you have to be careful where you place them and it's more dynamic, making it less of a 'oh I'm mildly slower now' thing to ignore and more of a thing to consider

lapis quiver Dec 1, 2021, 1:06 AM

I don't know, just maybe a balanced or unstable overclock, probably a stupid idea. But basically makes the lead storm a gau 8 machine gun, with a longer rev up and builds up heat faster, but slight aoe, increase in damage and faster fire rate. Probably won't make it as an overclock-

So a suggestion about the Homebrew Powder overclocks for the Subata, GK2 and Bulldog (even if reworking them properly would be a better idea in my opinion but anyway) : make it so hitting a weakpoint increases the chance of having a greater positive damage so it is rewarding to actually aim correctly. Also it would allow a little bit more interaction with this brand of ocs.
This would not work entirely with the PGL though.

a new operator " The Demoliton Expert"

primary, rocket launcher/rpg type weapon, self explanatory but not to OP cause you would have to play smart so you dont destroy team mates

secondary, melee weapon, a dwarven hammer with energy (almost like a mix of energy sword and grav hammer from halo) once energy runs out you can still use it but does the same damage your pick axe would, "skull crusher" does NOT increase damage of the hammer like it would pick axe, making the pickaxe still the better option if skull crusher is available before mission and you run out of energy.

traversal could be a rock climber, can set up a series or carabiners and rope going straight up a wall making a person that can get to really high places on walls and ceilings with a bit less risk of fall damage (can be knocked off by damage just like you can be hit off the zipline with enough damage.

throwable, T>N>T or Dynamite..... this one will win fights,

would have to put a bit more thought into other waepons to unlock and use with chracter but this could be the base items

More in depth explanation of one of my suggestions/changes: At the start of a msision, the drop pod digs down into the mission area. When it lands and the gates open up, the dwarf or dwarve(s) say a voice line. This voice line has a random pitch (no rich atmosphere). Such as when me and my brother are both scout, the gate opens, and our dwarves say voice lines with deep pitch like that of driller.
Now it would be nice to see this changed to the corresponding voice pitches, as a scout should not be deep like a driller when getting off the drop pod and regular the rest of the time.

I'd like to suggest alternative mission goals for some of the missions we have. Some of the missions are neat but I feel it'd be nice if it randomized up a bit what exactly there was, don't got ideas for all of them but here we go for the ones I do-
Salvage: Salvage BOSCOs, guard BOSCOs repairing the drop pod, call down Hack-C and set up a link to get it back online.
Escort: Guard Drillzo as they mine down, this mission would just be featuring downward movement to reach a heartstone (or maybe something different?), followed by riding Drillzo back up as a larger swarm tries to halt the ascent to safety.
Elimination: Eliminate Mactera bosses from Mactera cocoons instead of on the ground Dreadnoughts.
Industrial Sabotage: Destroy the Rival Spiderminer (a giant, mobile spider like robot with lasers and drills) by first finding coding stations, hacking them, and then taking the chips from the hacked stations, climbing onto the Spiderminer, and inserting them to make it drop its shields and allow itself to be destroyable (this unfortunately also turns its hostile elimination protocols on, so it will fight back.)
Just some ideas I had to have each mission type not just be the same thing, since as fun as they are I feel some variety between them like what exactly is being eliminated and what exactly is being escorted could be cool.

#

Also, this may just be me but I feel like jadiz is a lot rarer than the other minerals, could we possibly get a bit more? Maybe I just think it's the case but I feel I end up having a lot less jadiz at the end of a mission than any other resource.

I saw someone in general suggest a special powder oc for the mini gun, it was probably a joke, but I think it could actually work. Of course gunner shouldn’t have anything near scout’s special powder, but a toned down version would be pretty fun. I’m thinking about a push force that would make shooting the ground and jumping feel sort of like low gravity, allowing gunner to get vertical mobility relatively quickly at a decent ammo cost. Doing typical jump-revs to back up and shoot would get you more distance and shooting the floor while you’re falling could reduce or negate fall damage with enough time shooting. I don’t imagine this would be a clean overclock like special powder, maybe as a balanced oc to reduce its dps in exchange for extra ammo or faster spin-up time. Also watching gunners get some sick air like it’s jet pack joyride would be hilarious

The perk system needs to be completely reworked. Compared to other parts of the game, the perk system is very boring. I think taking some of the existing perks and attaching them to armor upgrades may be neat, but most of them are either quality of life that should already exist or useless.

With industrial sabotage existing now, a dedicated "+Heat" matrix core for the flamethrower would actually be good.. Highest heat per sec right now is 3.2x base heat/s (+30% fire rate face melter, +30% fire rate from mod, +100% heat from mod). This build comes at a big cost to range or magazine size, (depends on whichever it is you pick in the first mod slot). A heat core would allow something similar without that drawback (but not have direct damage like face melter). Maybe the game doesn't need a +heat core because industrial sabotage would become too easy. Just thought experimenting.

Replaced/New Upgrade for Engineer's Turrets
Currently, I personally find the Expanded Ammo capacity (+30 ammo loaded in turrets) very lackluster, especially in comparison to the alternatives of armor breaking or stun rounds
I would replace it with an upgrade that greatly increases the range from which you can refill a turret's ammo, to help give engineer more options in moving around more while still using their turrets
Engineers could maneuver around to weakspots, assist other engineers, and use peculiar sentry spots all more easily without needing to make constant rounds back to their exact spot, which I feel would be more fitting as an alternative to choosing stun rounds.

Could we change the promotion to not cut off the Memorial Hall music when you go into the menu? It plays it while you're in the Memorial Hall, cuts out while you choose which dwarf to promote, and then starts playing again on the Promotion Awaits screen. Promoting is absolutely one of my favorite parts of DRG, the grandeur of promotion is amazing and the whole situation really gives me a sense of pride, that's just the one tiny thing that breaks away my immersion. Thank you!

Patrol bots need more feedback during battle.

The current iteration of the patrol bot feels very frustrating and unrewarding to fight (especially on hazard 5) compared to the normal denizens of hoxxes

Most ranged enemies in DRG have some kind of windup/telegrap to show to the player they're about to fire (the mactera spawn inflating their bellies, goo bomers and acid spitters staying still).
The patrol bots could use either a windup animation, or some kind of particle effect of them charging their beam before firing to telegraph to the player.

The way they swap between flying mode and ground mode is also very jarring, as they can do it on a dime, making them very erratic and difficult to hit, but not in a good way. Some kind of animation where they hold still as they swap between modes would help out with this issue immensely
Another feedback issue is the way damage is communicated.
All enemies in DRG typically show some kind of battle damage (like grunt armor being destroyed), and weakpoint hit sounds that generally communicate to the player they did extra damage. Patrol bots do this, but their sounds dont do a good job communicating to the player.
a more satisfying weakpoint damage sound would help. Potentially also increase their weakpoint damage to help communicate this.

in short; Patrol bots need windup/telegraphs for their projectile attacks, when switching between flying/ground movement, and more feedback on taking damage

I would like to ask for more turrets for the engineer. Besides the awesome mk1 and mk2 I was thinking engineers could get a turret that can fire rockets or a rotary barreled one (1 for each and a third that does both would be amazing). I was also thinking in terms of balancing for a deployable ground based turret that can move around on tracks. Even if it's just a mk1 on wheels, that would be a cool mid tier turret for engineers imo. Another idea was a wall deployer upgrade for the platform launcher or as a different weapon for the platform launcher.

Just restarting the idea, nearly 1 (or 2?) years later. seeing how there was some new voicelines for some small stuff like when you call molly in a mission type where you don't have her, maybe for the next update add one or two for dead steeve when pet. I don't know how the code works (and i'm thinking petting dead steeve is more like a bug?) but if the game knows steeve is dead, having a "rest well, steeve" or "goodbye friend" would be a great addition to the game. our dwarves are very attached to steeve for some reason, so it feels a little awkward to pet the corpse without any clear voicelines on what the dwarves are thinking atm (we know they're sad but still). glyphid_smol

When firing arcs of electricity will automatically attach to enemies within range, maybe have a limit on the amount of arcs that can be active or drain ammo faster / overheat faster the more enemies being targeted

Maybe a mod or overclock that microwaves them on the inside and causes them to explode nice

Honestly, all of the new season 1 primaries need a buff (namely a base max ammo increase) but the one that is the weakest in execution is the LOK-1, between the fact that some of its mods are downgrades in most situations (SMRT Targeting for example) and only really two of its overclocks are actually notable. It would benefit from some increases and/or changes to base functionality. Here are a couple of ideas:
-Some feedback from the gun itself for when you can actually target a weakspot. I saw a post that suggested that the targeting line could turn green when it is targeting a weakspot. That, however is just one idea.
-SMRT targeting needs a rework, or at least a buff or some type of change, since it currently actively hinders the weapon.
-Definitely an increase to base ammo.
-Some of the Overclocks need work. Neuro-Lasso's slow doesn't last after the weapon is fired, rendering the overclock impractical for actual crowd control. Seeker Rounds, from what I've been told, don't really work, so fixing their armor-bypassing mechanic could make them more viable

I don't really know what else to say, so I'll make leave it there.

i had a thought on how to do armor overclocks, so make all the safe overclocks universal but more expensive then average, so if you get an overclock that gives health or elemental damage resistance let it be made once and done, but make the balanced and unstable unique to each charecter, so an example for a balanced would be for gunner "walking tank" increase his health and sheilds by ten each but decreases movement speed while shooting by an additional 10% making him feel more like a heavy combatant, and a good example unstable for driller would be "wading in bugs" in bug decreased max ammo for primary and secondary by 30% but increase drill fuel by 50% and power attack timer decreased by 30% leveraging him to playing much more melee combat focused.

Hello developers, I really like your game, but during the playthrough I always wondered how the injured dwarves are delivered back to the space rig from the planet. There is a big blue mule at the station, and it would be very cool if you added a mission to rescue the dwarves that were left behind. They would have to be found by using the scanner, picked up and stuffed into a big blue mule. It would be very cool and fit seamlessly into the gameplay

Balanced minigun overclock: Unstable uranium rounds:
-Aoe with range same as what drak can have
-Direct dmg: decreased by 2 or 4
-Splash dmg: 4 (making total base dmg be 14)
-Decreased total ammo by 400 (can be 600 if its not enough)
-Can penetrate with blowthrough t3 mod, resulting in double explosion potential
-Explosions apply stun at half chance of the direct hit, improved stun increases both stun chances by 50% of the base value
-Does self and team dmg when shot close (the explosion)

short summary: minigun with potential for more stuns, and potential at dealing possible 18 or 16 dmg at base, with the drawback of having less ammo and possibility of doing lots of self dmg up close. Less single target dps than other overclocks, for the price of being better at swarm clearing

An Engineer Secondary which explodes an area centred on the Dwarf: Perhaps a Portable Shockwave Generator or Electrical Discharger.
This would allow the engi to take a more aggressive playstyle during swarms, as the Breach Cutter and Grenade Launcher often aren't effective if you are stuck in the middle of a group of enemies; and this would encourage wading in amongst the swarm - I would imagine that this might do lower damage but inflict debuffs or have a low fire rate to prevent spamming it to save your life should you overextend

Some OC's or Mods could be dealing No friendly fire damage, Damage over Time in the area, Repelling or arcing between enemies, or some utility mod, such as instantly refilling a portion of the shield. A delayed detonation could also encourage kiting into the area.

This will give renewed purpose to the event for those who have already claimed everything from the Mining Helmet.

Since Mining Helmet is a random event with random loot, it will incentivize players to want to complete the Season Pass before the Season ends.

I forgot about one more idea that I wanted to add onto this: A Tracking Shot!
The functionality of the Tracking Shot is quite simple: it is an addition to the base functionality of the LOK-1, adding new use to the tap-fire! In short, tap-firing now fires a Tracker Bullet that tags the bug you hit! While the tagged bug is in your lock-on area, the gun will prioritize applying locks to the tagged enemy over applying locks to untagged enemies. This would allow for focused targeting of specific enemies and opens the gate for new upgrades and overclocks that affect the tracking shot!

Leeched Naedocytes, enemy type between Naedocytes and Grabbers (with possibility for Leech lore)
"A recent mutation has been observed to be stirring within the docile Naedocyte Cruisers, causing them to stray outside of their native region before their outside physiology is transformed by a parasitic creature, identified to be cousins to what we know as Cave Leeches. These suckers will stick with you to induce a relatively harmless shock similar to the usual Naedocyte. Unlike Cave Leeches, you won't be rendered entirely helpless once one of these attach to you. However, your headlight may sometimes turn off as your shield is unable to recharge while this thing sticks to your back, attracting any bugs within sight using it's hypnotic pulse. You may need another set of guns, pickaxes, or teeth to help relieve you of this dead weight, due to the difficulty in prying it off."
COMBAT TIP: They don't make a sound until they attach to someone, but their slow speed allows paranoid eyes to spot them before they attach.
COMBAT TIP: Glyphids bites are also capable of freeing you, all you need to do is turn your backs to them.
(All Dwarf attacks on you will be halved when attacked from the front, and nullified if attacked with melee or from the back. Damage you don't take from Friendly Fire or self-DMG is dealt to the Leeched Naedocyte. Bosco and Steeve will also "attack you," Bet-C, Sentries, and Patrol Bots will not.)
(Dwarves that are Attached gain more attention from Bugs, like the LURE or Pheromones)

ATTACK: Super Low
DEFENSE: Low
SPEED: Low-Mid

Family: Naedocyte
Type: Flying
Attack: Attach (Grab, Electrical)
Special: Strobe (Pheromones)
Armor: Light (Body)
Weakpoint: None (Maybe the bright bottom thing?)

Could be used as another encouragement to keep the team together, maybe more numerous than Grabbers, by a little, but more forgiving/alternatively threatening. It can also encourage newer dwarves to look around caves more often!

I wish the "Collect a Data Rack" season challenge was either less common or rewarded something else. I have everything I want from the Cosmetic Tree, and will have everything altogether by the time I finish the 100 levels of seasonal pass. So more Scrip is literally worthless, but +2500xp or +3750xp is valuable for finishing the pass. So of course, at least half the time I get a new challenge, it's "Collect a Data Rack" again and I have to either reroll it, or just wait and not do challenges until I am allowed to reroll it. Then the next challenge I roll will, almost always, be "Collect a Data Rack" again anyway. It's frustrating.

Have been playing the game since early access, the amount of griefers that have appeared recently are staggeringly high. Within the past 2 weeks alone encountered no less that about 20 instances of people just griefing the games I have joined. A few examples include:

- Triggering every dreadnaught as fast as possible then leaving or intentionally chasing other players and shooting them to make even attempting to still finish the mission extremely difficult. Mostly being done by players with the scout class. Have had this happen at least 4 times so far.
- Engineers will place their explosive mine grenades on the escape pod entrance then proceed to spam platforms on it to prevent players from entering the escape pod, and the mines going off as players attempt to dig up the platforms resulting in a quick death from enemy units. Games without a driller make this extremely tedious to deal with. Have had this happen no less than 6 times now....
- People intentionally wasting the nitra with supply drops, usually what happens is they will call all of them rapidly in one place far removed from the objectives and proceed to use all the resupply as quickly as possible. This one is less annoying to deal with as it is usually spotted quickly by the host and dealt with and most maps have abundant nitra, but on hazard 4 and 5 missions this can be extremely detrimental to the game. This is the most numerous griefing I have run into.
- People will play as a driller and proceed to take an egg from egg hunt with them as they dig as deep down as possible, making retrieving the egg extremely tedious and time consuming, especially on hazard 4 or higher. Have seen this a handful of times now.

This uptick of griefing stresses the need for a blacklist.

After looking at the perks for a while, I've quickly realized the deep pockets perk becomes nearly useless in all scenarios. So I'm thinking of a small ~~rework~~(1) buff to make it somewhat an option that could make it as nice as vampire or veteran depositor: Adding a resistance the more your pockets are full. It is somewhat balanced, as if you keep your pockets full, you will spend more time moving left and right to harvest minerals. It could work well with the veteran depositor perk. Of course, both cannot be stacked (veteran depositor would have the higher resistance therefor only this one will be applied until you get out of its range). I'm thinking of a 15% damage reduction when your pockets are full, at its highest perk tier, maybe with only 3 tiers available (5, 10 and 15%).
(1)Clarifications after a question of smileyhead in #suggestion-discussion :
I'm not saying it will replace the perk entierly, but more of an additional buff, like how veteran depositor has 2 (faster dep and damage reduction), as I quickly noticed an efficient team will always have either molly 5s away or already have the scout harvesting minerals and going left and right with his grappling hook. It was at first one of my most used perks but it quickly got replaced by vampirism for example.

the whole point of the perk is to expand your already full pockets, so why not make use of that extra space instead of just saving 1s?
Don't hesitate to ping me if you have any question/thoughts about this :)

Separating the armor color into two different layers: The base layer and the decal layer.
The base layer would function as we know it now, and the decal layer would go on top of it. The decal layer could include things like dense and scratches, the DRG insignia, or splashes of green alien blood

Heya devs! I recently saw the new roadmap and as I personally don't own a PS4/PS5.
It would be nice if my fellow PS4/PS5 dwarves could get gyro aiming, while PS controllers from both generations have gyro sensors inside, this feature has been almost completely ignored as a better pointer device across games for so long. You might have seen some games that have embraced gyro controls in the past, but leave the player with the impression that gyro controls are somehow inherently sloppy, imprecise, and thus a gimmick.

But these are problems are not with gyro controls, but their implementation in those games. Gyroscope is the mouse of the controller, it offers directness and exactness of control that's just impossible with tiny thumbsticks.

Its intent is actually to be easier, more precise and it can be vital for some disabilities as an accessibility to make the game comfortable to play for those that feel awkward aiming with the right stick.
It's not supposed to be a complete replacement for those who prefer aiming with a stick, however, but a better alternative option that can be turned on and off.

Gyro goes extremely well with Flickstick controls created by an individual named "Jibb Smart".

A brief explanation for Flickstick is right stick in a controller isn't exactly doing anything when you're using gyro, so it will allow it to make you quickly look in any 180° horizontal direction relative to your current orientation. You can already do all this on PC through Steam's remapper tool named "Steam Input" or through Jibb's "JoyShockMapper" tool.

I won't drop any links directly order in here to avoid issues in the server regarding on what I said above, but for good gyro implementation documentation for developers, I do recommend looking for "GyroWiki" as it's filled with more elaborate information on this suggestion or contact Jibb Smart through his twitter for any questions.

you can negate this effect killing him on his weakspot, like exploder

Spitter "Queen"/Praetorian/Dire Spitter/etc...
Will sort of be a new Praetorian variant, health and movement wise.
Its spit ball will be an exact copy of the Driller's sludge gun
A ceiling dwelling Praetorian sounds new and interesting.
Maybe make this the Hollow Bough regional for the Praetorian (like how radioactive and frost get their own)

Glyphid Cloaker
A Grunt-sized Glyphid, who has evolved entirely for one purpose: Stealth. Their crystalline exoskeleton manipulates light of any wavelength to render themselves as nothing more than a faint shimmer to the naked eye, and invisible to most targetting systems. Although it covers their entire body, sufficient damage will break this brittle armor, revealing the flesh underneath, though this comes with a new issue: Dwarves hit by the splatter of a dying Cloaker will be covered in pheromones, greatly increasing the hostility and coordination of all other Glyphids hunting the affected miner.

Combat Tip: Freezing or Burning an otherwise nearly invisible threat makes seeing them much easier!

Weakness: Fire, Cold
Resistances: Radiation

Attack: Average
Defense: Average
Speed: Fast

Family: Glyphid
Type: Ground
Attack: Slash (Melee)
Special: Pheromone Discharge (Area)
Armor: Whole Body (Light)
Weak Point: None

Full body exoskeleton means full body. Cloakers have a notably short lifespan only intended as scouts and initiators, as they lack mouths.

Glyphids targeting a pheromone covered player will be slightly faster, immune to most stuns, slows and fears and generally smarter about avoiding certain attacks and obstacles (avoid grenades and turret sightlines when it is time-efficient to do so, are less fearful of repellant, don't clump up against aoe, prefer dark and vertical paths to catch dwarves off-guard, etc)

Here goes nothing.... or everything
Suggestion: Weapon fusing
Description: Have you ever wanted something with a bit more oomph for your dwarves, but just can't bear to use a weapon other than the one you main? Look no further than Weapon fusing! The gist of it is, you take two weapons, and then put them in two slots. The first slot is the weapon that is going to be "upgraded" with the weapon in the second slot. There are infinite possibilities! You new to DRG and want to try something that can help you survive a higher difficulty with the Gunner? Fuse the Lead Storm with the Engineers Auto 210, and you now have a minigun which has a slightly slower rate of fire, but fires shotgun shells loaded with pellets at an incredible speed! Already have everything unlocked and just want to screw around with what you can do? Fuse the Hurricane with the Corrosive Sludge Pump, and now you have a Corrosive Sludge Rocket System, which leaves puddles of sludge on impact, while dealing slightly less damage! Want to try combining the starter weapons with the pro weapons? Combine the Engineers auto 210 and the Scouts DRAK-25 plasma carbine, and now you have a rapid-fire plasma shotgun! The possibilities are endless! Another example, because I ~~have a lot of ideas~~ have more space for words in this message, combine the Scouts M-1000 and the Engineers LOK-1 Smart rifle, and now you have the M1001 Smart Precision Rifle! More damage, and you can hit enemies from FAR away, but it's not too good up close, so you might want to combine the Scouts Zhukov Nuk-17 dual SMG's with the Drillers Cryo cannon to give you the Zhukov Nuk-19 Cryo-ammo SMG's! It even works with two weapons from the same class of dwarf, and even with secondary weapons! Want to defy the geneva convention? Combine the Drillers Hurricane with the Engineers Deepcore whilst the Deepcore has the fat boy overclock equipped, and now you have a Nuclear Missile System with slow speed, and less ammo, but insane damage!

The game is great right now, new modes, new weapons, but a thing that still bugs me out is promotion, ill be brief, what dwarf gets a promotion where he pays to get a badge and just basically lose money for nothing, tought dwarfs were greedy idk, you guys could give some reward, like exclusive cosmetics you only get throught promotion and Please, i would love not having to complete 4 missions to get an assigment to promote a singular dwarf while the other dwarfs are max level and i cant get level with them or do anything untill i finish the promotion assigment(in the moment i got gunner level 25, driller level 25 and scout level 23, i was doing the new mission and weapons assigments), but well, thats my suggestion and i apologize for the grammar, english is not my primary language.

Gonna say it again as recycled content for the ten thousandth time... please get rid of the 'too far' feature on the grappling hook. No one asked for it, no one thinks it's a good thing, it's such a hysterically arbitrary nerf that can be bypassed with the laser pointer, and it's so poorly implemented that occasionally it'll let you hook even if it says too far. It does not make the game more fun. It makes the game more obnoxious.

New Mission Type - Enemy Mining Rig Sabotage: What if there was another mission type that had an entirely kind of environment? Like a massive enemy mining platform? Where a ton of automated mining is being done. I believe this would be a cool way to randomly generate 'dungeon' type content where we face a mixture of bugs and even Dwarven Mercenaries, but instead of caves it is massive mining rigs overran by bugs or taken over by enemy companies. There could even be Elven miners as well! Why can't we kill Leaf Lovers in this game for real?

The missions could have a mixture of objectives, such as sabotaging an enemy rig and blowing it up, or defending one of our own rigs from an onslaught of bugs. Perhaps even with the chance of the objective changing mid mission to rigging our own mining platform to explode to avoid it falling into enemy hands.

The Lore: The reason for this mission type becoming available, is after we are informed that there is a more spec ops division within DRG, involved in corporate sabotage and asset recovery. These missions become available because of the spec ops teams taking heavy losses and needing our help.

You could also mix in regular cave generation with dwarven mining installations. They could still be destructible! (I believe.) Even if not, there could be sections of running automated mining machines in sections of normal cave terrain. We could optionally mine these areas for resources, or continue killing enemies & doing objectives.

This new environment type would allow for the possibility of making enemy AI that are humanoid like us! The cave generation necessitated bug enemies to ensure they always have pathing to players. The "bad" dwarves we fight have limitless potential to be awesome. Imagine fighting boss versions of each class! Each Dwarf is already built like a tank, so the options for enemy variants is pretty endless.

Rework the Haunted Cave Modifier.

<Quality Of Life>
Had this idea floating around that Haunted Caves right now are a little unoriginal and could be spliced up.
There is a lot of potencial in the haunted aspect, such as seeing actual ghostly players, hearing auditory hallucinations (bosco, dwarf or glyphid without source, sounds of mining), and the "terror" could periodically terrorize the players in different shapes of enemies instead of an instakill detonator.
No jumpscares.

Deep Dives are notorious for feeling barren sometimes. No events, no crates, nothing really fun to discover aside from getting the missions one and done. I propose an extremely small chance that a randomly occuring 'bonus round' level will spawn in between deep dive missions. Management heralds your pod emerging into a relatively large, single room cave dripping with bonus minerals and a high chance of additional rewards. Think a treasure geode or somesuch. The dwarfs have a strictly limited time to run around and collect all they can before the drop-pod recalibrates and continues on again. No bugs, but also no nitra, just to keep it fair.

"It's a Bug Thing" Perk Mineral Buff
Have it also increase the Gold and Nitra that get generated by exploding Loot Bugs with the perk by about 10% for tier 1 and 20% for tier 2. The perk is quite a meme right now, which is fine to a degree, but this would make it be taken under actual consideration in some situations. For example, it would actually become a quite useful perk in Liquid Morkite missions since a ton of Loot Bugs spawn on those. It also gives a little extra wiggle room if someone is worried about missions with low Nitra spawning or mission types with exceptionally high ammo usage. Or if someone just wants to get slightly more gold per mission for those sweet promotions.

cold loom I suggest adding Season 1 Pass items to Mining Helmet event after Season 2 pass ...

Edit 1: We all know the devs want to implement a system for old Season Pass loot to be claimed in game once a season has passed. I suggest adding old Season Pass loot to the Mining Helmet event after a new Season Pass comes out. (I will refer to all unclaimed Season Pass loot as Unclaimed Pool in some instances)

The game would recognizes how much unclaimed loot a player has across all old season passes.
All unclaimed nodes from the season pass will be claimable in the Mining Helmet event OR all nodes except mineral resources.
Since Mining Helmet is a random event with random loot, it will incentivize players to want to complete the Season Pass before the Season ends.
However this concept will still give renewed purpose to the event for those who have already claimed all pickaxe cosmetics from the Mining Helmet event.
Depending on the number of loot in the Unclaimed Pool the mining helmet event will reward a different amount of random season pass loot. The bigger the Unclaimed Pool the more rewards.
This will help avoid FOMO for newer players joining the game after season pass 2 or 3 as well as help with ppl that cannot play the game often.

Example: Player with just 10 in Unclaimed Pool will get 1 reward from the Mining Helment event. Player with 11-20 in Unclaimed Pool will get 2 rewards. and so on and so on. Player with anything above 40 in Unclaimed Pool will get a max of 5 rewards.

The numbers need work but the concept seems solid to me. And since it would be diminishing returns it would keep the mining helmet event useful for a longer time without feeling difficult to claim all old season pass loot. If you're wondering why I suggest more rewards the bigger the Unclaimed Pool it is to help with speed. We want players to feel properly rewarded for the effort they have put in. The Mining Helmet event is random, and sometimes players never find one that has spawned in a mission, meaning it would take a very long time if you only received 1 reward.

Suggestion: LOK-1 Special Modifications Reworks

SMRT Targeting Software (Tier 3, Option 2)

Throw out the low health prioritization and lock limiter in favor of enhancing the lens to target every enemy within the view of the lens as equally as possible; Meaning if you use a wide lens and there's 8 bugs and you're using the Eraser Overclock with 24 max lock-ons, all 8 bugs will get 3 total locks at once instead of favoring closer bugs. A double edged sword for bullet spraying at the cost of single target efficiency.

Super Blowthrough Rounds (Tier 3, Option 3)

Allow the homing bullets to pass through targets and home in on any additionally locked on targets; It would be possible to create a special feedback loop with careful use, essentially allowing you to create a cycle of bullets sequentially passing through enemies.

Unstable Lock Mechanism (Tier 5, Option 2)

Upon reaching Full Lock increase the damage for the bullets based on the maximum number of lock-ons; For every 2 lock ons, it increases the total damage of the LOK-1 by +1. With 24 lock-ons, the damage is increased by +12.

Fear Frequency (Tier 5, Option 3)

Upon achieving full lock-on, all enemies with locks become a source of fear and enemies near those targets are afflicted with a 100% rate.

Explosive Chemical Rounds should be adjusted so that it causes an explosion on the third shot on a target with more than 3 locks, no matter how many more locks a target has. Not every three shots mind you, just once on the third shot.

Also, ECR needs to have its description changed; it says it triggers an explosion in targets with more than 3 locks, but in fact will cause an explosion if the enemy has 3 or more locks.

Carbon Alloy Vibroblade
A short sword with a sharp and tough carbon alloy blade. Its short length makes it handy for tight spaces like cave tunnels, allowing it to be swung without fear of being caught on walls. High energy vibrations from a vibration motor powered by a battery allow it to cut through glyphid shells like a hot knife through butter. Even after running out of battery, it remains a serviceable emergency weapon.

fast swings hit all targets in a small area in front of you
deals enough damage to instantly kill grunts on weak spot hits
consumes battery per target hit
baseline armor breaking bonus
after running out of battery, attacks deal less damage, lose armor breaking, hit at most one target and hits slow you down for a moment

overclocks
Shield Battery Recharger - kills will partially recharge your shield
Kinetic Recycling - swings consume at most 1 battery
Spin To Win - press r to perform a spin attack that hits enemies around you
Backup Generator - attacks when out of battery no longer slow you down and can hit more targets, but battery capacity is reduced
Frenzy - kills increase attack speed and movement speed briefly
Inhibiting Current - attacks stagger enemies
Volatile Coating - hitting enemies damages adjacent targets

Suggestion: Two More New Perks (I did one before, look me up)

Active - Shield Jetpack: Allows the user to channel their Shield's energy to briefly achieve flight for a few seconds. It takes 5 units of shield per second at base value, and recharges after 30 seconds. Perk upgrades increase the energy efficiency.
Rank I: Same as above.
Rank II: 4 units of Shield per second.
Rank III: 3 units of Shield per second.
Rank IV: 3 units of Shield per second; Landing safely after depleting your Shield lets the user create a stun shockwave that deals 25 electrical damage 3 meters around them.

Active - Karl's Taunt: Allows the user to become the center of attention, forcing all enemies to target said user and take attention away from other sources. Applies a 100% aggro status to the user for 20 seconds, which takes priority even over Doretta and HACK-C. Perk upgrades increase combat aspects and length of the status.
Rank I: Same as above.
Rank II: 30 seconds of full aggro and 10% increased movement speed.
Rank III: 40 seconds of full aggro, 15% increased movement speed and 50% more shield health.
Rank IV: 50 seconds of full aggro, 20% increased movement speed and doubled shield health.
Rank V: 60 seconds of full aggro, 10% increased damage for each incapacitated ally, 20% increased movement speed and doubled shield health.

Biome Suggestion: “Inverted Crater” A tall mountain with numerous tight caves and tunnels, it has a very dark stone color with maybe yellow glowing crystals that look like amber that act as a light source for you and the green plants similar to actual plants but with a slight alien touch so it gives an odd feeling and lots of stalagmites on the ceiling, and a biome event could be an “Avalanche” rocks falling from the ceiling doing damage and maybe blocking paths

elder jackal Dec 5, 2021, 10:40 AM

Biome Idea: Megafauna Fossil Pits. Recent seismic activity has caused a large, previously inaccessible oil field to drain deeper into the planet, revealing a sprawling cave complex full of massive fossils, tar pits, and valuable minerals. Watch your step as you clamber around the empty shells of the bugs that once ruled over Hoxxes, and make sure to have some good detergent on hand to get the tar out of your beard.

Biome Features:

Megafauna Fossils: The Fossil Pits are littered with the fossilized exoskeletons of (hopefully) extinct bugs, which were likely trapped by the tar that once filled these caves.
Tar pits: Pits full of sticky, viscous tar that will ensnare any creature unlucky enough to come upon them. Watch out for the occasional gas bubble, which will send out a splatter of tar upon bursting. Oh, and also be careful when operating incendiary weapons around the pits, for obvious reasons.
Oilfalls: The oil in these caverns has a tendency of pouring from above, creating flows of viscous gunk that can be both a help and a hindrance. Jump into one if you want to take a leisurely ride to the bottom of whatever cave you find yourself in during your missions.
Bonecrabs: despite the fact that these caves were filled with choking tar until only recently, it seems like some life has already managed to move in. One prime example are the bonecrabs, bugs that reinforce their carapaces with fragments of fossilized shell. While the larger, more mature ones seem unbothered by the presence of our miners, the smaller ones tend to be a bit territorial.

4th set of grenades, but they're not actually grenades

Gunner: Emergency Ammo Bag - Restores 10% ammo to the first dwarf that touches it (the dwarf that deploys it have a 2 second cooldown before they can pick up their own ammo bag, unless they're solo)
Engineer: Mini Turret Kit "Smallsy" - Imagine TF2 Engineer's gunslinger turret. A small, un-reloadable turret for when you need just a bit more dakka. Deals 6 damage per bullet and holds 100 rounds
Driller: Dwarf Restorative Ultracharger Genome, D.R.U.G. - Speeds up your pickaxe attack rate by 100% and makes the digged area wider, lasts for 5 seconds (or maybe 10?)
Scout: Pinger System - Sticks to most surfaces and scans roughly 20 meters of its surroundings for anything that's not dirt or is trying to kill you. All minerals and valuables are highlighted to the entire team for 15 seconds

EDIT: Changed Driller's item a bit since a good dwarf pointed out that it's basically berzerker lol

We need more facemask-based cosmetics (Not for any reality-relevant purposes, I just think masks are cool, like the partial gas mask from this Season).

Piggybacking off of one of sniss’s ideas in a video: Some sort of random 1-mission only buff, like double jump, or faster reload speed or improved flare brightness or something, but in the form of a SANDWICH BAR. You’ve got your sandwich of the day, similar to the buff beer, and of course the purely cosmetic sandwiches. You can eat a sandwich and it will activate one of the aforementioned effects! The owner of the sandwich bar would be another bosco unit, most likely named Floyd, or I’ve even considered “Sandy” the sandwich maker bot!
Lloyd and Sandy would of course be right across from each other, providing a nice little mess hall to seek refuge from the hellscape that is hoxxes.

When we get back… it’s SANDWICH time…

The LOK-1 is a very divisive gun, with most complaints leveraged at its low effective ammo count. Indeed, most using it will find themselves running out of ammo much quicker than the rest of the team. But I think this can largely be blamed on players not really using it "correctly". An important part of using the LOK-1 is to curve your shots to hit weak points, doing much more damage, and thus, using much less ammo.

THE PROBLEM

is that you can't really do that with groups of enemies (in most cases). A mix of different enemies, or even just a spread out group of the same one, will make it impossible to hit all (if not most) of their weak points, barring some absolutely absurd flick shots. That means it's pretty much objectively better to build the LOK-1 around single target damage with overclocks like executioner to make the most out of your strictly limited ammo. The base gun is set up to facilitate both playstyles, but one of them is, on its face, objectively worse at using the weapons strengths to its advantage.

So how do I, decidedly NOT a game designer, fix this issue?

Shocker: I'm not really sure. BUT I have an idea for something simple that might help. Keep the bullet arc indicators on the screen while shooting. This makes it slightly easier to adjust your shots after killing the enemy whose weak point you were aiming for, because it's probably going to die first. That lets you sneak in some more weak point hits onto a different enemy. In short: helping make those crazy flick shots a little less hard to do consistently.

Just a QoL suggestion that I'm REALLY feeling with the dives and such: make the dives contribute at least to the area challenges. IE, this week there's a Sandblasted Corridors deep dive, I had a challenge for that area! I finish it, no progress on the challenge. Maybe it could be used once, like you can do the deep dive and it contributes only one mission towards the area challenge it can fill, so you can get +3 to a challenge for finishing a full deep dive. Idk if this makes sense, but I feel like it'll be nice?

I don't know if this is something they still have in consideration for how stuff will carry over after battlepass seasons will complete, assuming they don't do it where they'll re introduce some skins again in later seasons as a side thing:
What about allowing the exchange of like, 3-6 empty cores for them after the season they're available ends for scrips for either the same tree or an extended tree of stuff that's in the proper battlepass and not the cosmetic tree?
That is all, thanks.

Another new biome idea:

Lodestone Quarry
Among the earlies recorded biomes on Hoxxes, the Lodestone Quarry was previously deemed unexplorable due to the high levels of electromagnetic interference in the area. However, recent advances in scanner technology have finally allowed us to begin sending in miners, who return with stories of floating rocks, streams of magnetic energy, and massive, nerve-like organic structures.
Biome Features:
• Floating Rocks: Rocks suspended in midair though magnetic levitation are a common sight in the Lodestone Quarry. While it is possible to use them as platforms, Management advises you to be cautious when doing so, as then tend to come crashing down if stood on for too long.
• Magnetic Streams: Powerful conduits of magnetic energy crisscross the caves of the Quarry, ferrying ionized particles and fragments of magnetic rock through the area. These streams are powerful enough to even carry dwarves through the air, thohg be careful if you decide to ride the streams, as they tend to be one-way only.
• Nerve Bundles: Organic structures resembling massive bundles of nerves can be found snaking their way throughout the area, often terminating in large bud structures. Disturbing these bundles will cause them to release an electric shock, which will then travel down the length of the synapse, zapping everything in contact with it. Genetic testing suggests that these structures are related to Naedocytes, though their purpose and source are still unknown.
• Adapted Wildlife: Much of the wildlife in the Lodestone Quarry has adapted to utilize the ambient electromagnetic energy of the zone to deadly efficacy. Watch out for the electric nova of the local Glyphid Praetorians, and keep your distance from the native Exploders, which will pull you in upon detonation via a “magnetic implosion”.

New miners can't join once some nebulous milestone in the mission has been reached. Why. This is the age of mods; you can summon 200 bugs, kill them all instantly, summon a Crassus that explodes gold ten feet thick, kill it instantly, and then autocomplete the objectives and exfil, all with the press of a few keys. Enjoy your 1m gold and xp. What exactly is the point of stopping you from inviting your friends to your game once you've picked up a little too much morkite? It sure as hell ain't to protect the integrity of the game's progression system. Sometimes one of your crew has to step out for 10, 15 minutes because real life and they don't want to be dead weight on the enemy scaling while they're AFK. What does locking them out of coming back add to the game?

"Better with friends," my ass. There's a significant roadblock to playing with them.

In the likely event that GSG won't remove that restriction, then at bare-ass minimum they need to be more opaque about when that point of no return is. It could be as simple and low-impact as a little icon that pops up near the mission objective list to indicate no more in/out. Personally, I think it might be neat to have Control acknowledge it some way (could get repetitive though, maybe?): "Looking good, miners; you're almost done. We're redirecting fresh miners to other dig sites. It's all you from here on out. ... don't screw it up."

But seriously, don't tell me that I can't invite my friend to my game. It's rude.

What if everyone got Iron Will? Here me out my fellow dwarves! I cringe at the idea of changing out Iron Will or Dash. I feel like it would be totally fair to let everyone get ONE try at saving the mission. Not only would this give us more freedom with blue perk usage. But I believe in letting every new player get a chance at saving the entire mission and feeling like a hero. We are already incredibly powerful, we are essentially death incarnate for the bugs. I do not believe this is an unfairly powerful buff. Could be locked behind first promotion? Would be a genius way to hook new players.

Don't decrease the bar for the Salvage mission when you're solo and are down inside the zone. Makes the game darn near impossible when you constantly get downed by a massive swarm filling up the entire area, then it decreases so much that it can't be completed because the entire time you spend recovering what was lost you're getting beaten by the same swarm. Makes the mission basically unplayable.
Or at the very least make Mission Control shut up for that, I don't need to hear them whining about me not being inside when I am.

Bosco should automatically target any enemy fired at if Bosco is idle.

Compared to the other Dreads, Hiveguard is kind of a joke, it not a chore.
Let her Guards constantly spawn, even if they’re like lesser
The Glyphid Dreadnought has speed to back it up
The Twins have each other
The Hiveguard’s invincibility is a bit of a chore, while it’s speed makes it pitiful, relying on other bugs for only one part.
They should have more of a mainstay for the fight with her to remedy the lack of relative difficulty, also considering their unique nature.
I wanna be afraid of all of the Dreads, not just 2/3. Sometimes she walks up and stays still being passive when first spawning until she roars a full minute after (real thing that happened). I say the guard should come with her immediately.

I think allowing the host to choose in the space rig between a few AI options for molly would be a really nice addition. An example of the options I had in mind:

The default: Molly will come when called and auto reposition between dwarves at her current intervals
Once a dwarf calls her once, Molly will tag along with that dwarf until called again by a different dwarf. Can be useful for playing solo and duo's
Once called Molly will stay exactly where she was called and not move until called again. Can be useful for groups who tend to split up and might rather have Molly be in-between them or at least not have her walk up and knock you off a platform for the twentieth time that day.

Something that wouldn’t be too crazy to implement but would create a fun alternative play style for the Engineer

Tier 2 build that would change the platforms into solid cubes/walls instead of platforms when fired.

Frequently run into the issue of wanting to build towers with my sponges but can’t since it requires too much ammo, but the ability to do so is still viable.

Barricades, walls for position triangulating, defending hacking bots. There’s a lot you could do with that.

Having it be a tier 2 alternative would also work best I figure given you wouldn’t need softened landings if you’re not making platforms and instead just straight up brick walls

You could also play some made makeshift minecraft with other Engis, so… nice ⛏️

I would love to see a secondary gadget/weapon or grenade replacement that allows for mining from a distance. like EPC mining but less versatile, but available to all classes so even when you arent 4 manning, you can play any role and not be stuck to those 2 classes. Maybe-- for balancing reasons-- these gadgets would only be available in duo, and triple queue. I understand the games need to be balanced around 4 man teams, but I would love to see something that encourages players to play more than just scout and engineer in non-4 man play throughs

Instead of the usual "give us an achievement for bringing dotty's head back" suggestion, I'll offer a simpler suggestion - give us a statistic of either the number of times we've brought back the head, or a percentage of times the head has been brought back across all escort missions. A simple low-effort way to feel good about it.

Riffing off the previous suggestion, more obscure statistics in general would be fun...e.g. number of goo sacks popped, number of breathers petted, number of times grabbed by a cave leech, etc.

I think the OMEN towers need a serious readjustment for larger team sizes. When playing solo or duos they're fine, the problem is their health scaling. Once you get to 3 people you better pray your team went all DPS for some reason and if you have 4 you might as well not even bother. The towers just have extreme amounts of health that assuming a normal team composition there's no way in hell you're gonna kill it in time.

A melee focused character. What kind of dwarf society is this when someone isn't using. Proper battleaxe? This character has the role of protector, guarding his teammates as they do objectives or revive one another.

Primary weapon number 1, obviously the battleaxe. High damage, slow attack speed, high reach. Potentially could have an ammo based charge mechanic where you'd charch a swing, bring your are down over your head in mighty earth splitting swing, tearing into terrain and dealing explosive damage in a cone to enemies in front of you, normal swings costing no ammo.

His base secondary weapon; a thrown impact hatchet, much like the impact ax of the driller, but less damage and more ammo.

His support tool; a placeable banner that boostes melee speed and damage of nearby allies for x amount of time.

His mobility tool; a retractable ladder, once placed it can be picked up at a whim, low ammo however. Perhaps only 1 to start.

His base grenade; a dash that sends him in the direction of your cursor x meters, swinging his primary weapon on arrival to cleave enemies in the way.

Thoughts? Ideas? I think it's cool. This game needs a good melee focused class in my opinion.

"Bug Zapper" Lightning Coil
A tesla coil that shoots a bolt of lightning that hits the target closest to the reticle and bounces between bugs, electrocuting them.

has limited range
guaranteed electrocution
moderate damage (~30)
low fire rate
chains target the closest bug that has not been hit
chaining has a short delay
chain ends when there are no more viable chain targets in range or a limit has been reached

unique upgrades
Branch Lightning - strikes deal damage in an area
Constant Potential - chains can target targets that have been hit before
Atmospheric Ionizer - if there are no viable chain targets, lightning will chain onto air in the direction of the closest target
Building Potential - each chain deals increased damage
overclocks
Flux Capacitor - lightning no longer chains, instead, the first target hit will zap a nearby enemy every 0.5 seconds for a couple of seconds
Shield Conduit - dwarves become viable chain targets, dwarf chains recharge shields instead and do not count towards the chain limit
Resistance Inverter - chains will target the farthest viable target, dealing damage to enemies caught in between
High Voltage Transformer - electrocuted enemies damage nearby enemies over time
Overflow - enemies that are killed immediately on impact do not count towards the chain limit
Fork Pattern - chains hit two targets (who then zap two more targets), reduced chain damage

Mission type: Kursite Defense.

Effectively, this is a tower defense-like mission type.

Map generates as an elongated room or short series of rooms with a rig that generates at the starting end. The rig has turrets on it much like the Aquarqs rig, though it also has a large radar dish with a health pool. Scattered through the room are 3-5 large Kursite crystals fixed to the terrain (not unlike liquid Morkite wells).

Interacting with one causes the rig to point the radar dish at it, slowly breaking it down with vibrations (this is really just a flavor thing). This starts a large ongoing swarm of bugs that start at the crystal and move to attack the dish. If the dish runs out of hit points, the mission fails. Eventually the large Kursite crystal will break, dropping a large crystal that can be deposited to progress the mission.

The swarm occasionally spawns assorted Kursite enemies. These drop Kursite, naturally, which can be turned in at the rig for "defense beacons". A defense beacon can be placed and activated to call down a defensive installation at a position. There might be a few different types available — gun turrets, neurotoxin vents, etc. These will help with defending the rig, as the swarm sizes tend to increase the further the crystal is from the rig.

Edit: Some sections of the map might be separated by compacted dirt; this potentially means some driller cheese by making long winding tunnels. This is intended, as part of the fun is in building hostile fortifications. However, bugs that can't pathfind due to completely blocked tunnels will burrow. So you can't fully shut down a wave by blocking it.

It could also be something other than normal yellow Kursite (would be awkward if a Kursite grinder spawned in the level after all), just functionally the same.

Secondary objective expansion. Currently, all the secondary objective lines from MC act like there could be multiple objectives, but there never are, even though it wouldn't be hard and wouldn't be bad for gameplay. More variation, stuff to collect. I'd like a minor rework:
-Existing secondary objectives will remain in the game
-Missions can (but won't always) have two or even three secondaries, with your expected bonuses
-Collecting additional items shows up on the HUD (24/20 Boolo Caps, 15/14 Ebonuts, etc) with a slight increase in reward for each rather than the current pitiful XP bonus. This could also apply to morkite and aquarqs, and perhaps to mini mule legs
-A few different types of secondary objectives, sort of like how fester fleas have a different style to simply collecting stuff. Maybe we have to repair a local scanner array, finding each unit and either piecing together the remnants by digging up the nearby fragments and applying some elbow grease, or calling in a new one entirely. Perhaps we need to track down some elusive new creature, simply pinging it with the laser pointer to confirm the standard encounter rate for R&D, or using some more unique methods.
-Deep Dive secondaries, being vastly shortened primary objectives, could be on normal missions on occasion. Obviously a higher reward for them than a normal secondary, and I wouldn't want them to be required (unless that was also a modifier which requires you to complete secondaries to call in the pod), but just seeing that sort of stuff would be nice

Not sure if we have something similar except for lure nades but here we go.

Perk-Antaganize- bring the swarm to you.

Useful for if you need to get rid of a pesky swarm surrounding a fallen brethren. It's an active perk that when activated, your dwarf will make a snarky remark towards the bugs and agro them to only you.

Lasts for 30 seconds but can be upgraded three times to 90 seconds. At max level when activated your dwarf will have 15% faster backpedal speed.

TLDR: New perk, agro swarm to only you. Recomend you read it though.

Berserker is such a fun perk but it has no secondary bonuses and the long cooldown on it makes it end up being an occasional panic button escape tool rather than an active way to change how you play.

I suggest that berserker should get a secondary bonus to it that reduces the cooldown of it for every melee kill you get with berserker active, the higher level the perk, the more the cooldown is reduced per kill. That way berserker becomes a risk/reward style perk that incentivizes you to really get into the thick of the fight to hack and slash up as many bugs before its done so that you can do it again faster. Combo that with other melee centric perks such as vampire/see you in hell for more synergy.

I really hope we see a perk balance pass soon, right now there is a clear winner among active perk choice, that being iron will/dash/field medic, with perks like heightened senses and hoverboots becoming less useful as your game sense builds, and other active perks such as berserker that suffer from being too situational. I find myself running the same perk builds on every class, and I'd love to see more options in the future on that.

A couple of small suggestions for adding some more flavor to the Elite Threat modifier.

The goal of this suggestion is to give dwarves better tools to communicate / collaborate on taking down Elites. They're designed to be "disruptive" enemies, so design choices that facilitate better focus on these enemies would be awesome.

The suggestions:

The ping for an Elite variant should show up on other dwarves' laser pointer outlines as "Elite <enemy type>" or have some other kind of indicator to show it's an Elite. Currently, if a dwarf pings an Elite variant, the outline and text looks like any other enemy - the only indicator that the enemy is elite is the red vertical beacon, which often isn't visible depending on terrain or other occlusions.
For extra credit, the dwarf should say one of a handful of unique voicelines when pinging. At a minimum, these could be generic, like "Oi, that bugger looks like a tough one!" For an even bigger dose of awesomeness, create unique voicelines for each elite variant, e.g. for an Elite Bulk, "HOLY SHITE LADS, I DIDN'T THINK THEY GOT THAT BIG! RUN!!"

Mods/Overclocks could focus on linger duration, particle size, DoT and a slowdown effect, and maybe even affected bugs take more damage

Allow smaller Xynarch Chargesuckers to appear on Mini M.U.L.E.s as a way to add variety to the veteran “Salvage” Type. Another monster, albeit tinier, to keep Dwarves alert and on their toes.

”I found a Mini M.U.L.E.!”

Due to their generally increased danger, even if slight, they have less than a 40-30% chance to spawn instead of a legless Mini M.U.L.E.
“Shoot it off the M.U.L.E.!”
Mini M.U.L.E.s that require some gunning will activate when a Dwarf shoots it (or, optionally, draws near). The Xynarch will possess similar or lesser toughness to the ones found on BET-C.
“What’s making all that racket?!”
Although they cannot attack, the Mini M.U.L.E.s will rapidly approach Dwarves (to prevent them from moving too far away, we don’t want another 1-leg-missing scenario) but keep themselves at a short distance while strafing around them as evasive measures.
“This Chargesucker is making our jobs a little harder.”
Not only will the sounds they make when being shot at sound generally unpleasant, but the distorted sounds produced from the Mini M.U.L.E.s will also attract nearby bugs to it’s location. Unless you’ve completely cleared out the cave, don’t get caught with your backs to the small skirmish, even if you’ve one-shot the Chargesucker.
”That one sucked, but no more.”
The Mini M.U.L.E. will become repairable as normal (no legs required) after killing the Chargesucker.

Makes for an additional, but optional excuse to add two things to the Bestiary: Mini M.U.L.E.s, and Xynarch Chargesuckers
A lot of things can kill you in Hoxxes IV, and this mission is meant to represent that. Let’s add another reason why.

Mission Suggestion: Hunt
In the case of the current killing type mission, Elimination, you just have to go seek out cocoons and open them yourself, there's not a danger from them until you choose for there to be. Well in this new type of killing mission, the danger is already there. You'd have to go and hunt down a boss that's already roaming, fight it for part of its health bar (perhaps half or a third depending on which boss it is) and then it would run off and you gotta hunt it down again. Some ideas for what some of these bosses could be:
Sprinter, a lithe cat-like bug that is known for its speed and ferocity, often setting up ambushes for the dwarves.
Electromite Swarm, a group of giant bugs with armored backs that have electrical properties similar to the crystals in the caverns, moving as a herd until splitting up upon being attacked with dangerous electric attacks that can temporarily disable equipment.
Mactera Queen, a large mactera that floats up in the sky, shooting down slowing globs of goo while sprouting out groups of mactera spawn to swarm and attack the dwarves.

Make Plasma Burster Missiles able to penetrate terrain. Right now this overclock has some consistency issues, especially with smaller targets (I got 1.5 penetrations for grunts on average, and 3.3 penetrations on average for larger enemies, both done in optimal conditions). On enemies with a wall behind them, it's likely the plasma will hit the wall and fizzle out instantly, but allowing them to penetrate rock and other objects gives them another chance to turn around. You still can't abuse this with stationary targets like spitballers, as you'll be facing in the direction of the enemy, but not looking at it because you're behind cover. And of course, this would count towards one of the missiles 5 maximum penetrations.
(And as a side note, stronger jet engine might be better split into two mods, one for speed and the other for turning. The faster speed makes the projectiles have a wider turning arc than they theoretically should)

fallen grotto Dec 8, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

To piggyback on the previous suggestion, Plasma Burster Missiles could bounce off terrain instead, using one of the penetrations and exploding (similar to using Magic Bullets with Explosive Rounds) so that you can at least make use of the Area Damage when missiles hit the ground, like in the case of piercing through a Grunt or Acid Spitter on a wall.

#

2.) Glyphid Queen, this idea came to me During the Egg hunt missions when you dislodge a Egg, a Roar/Scream shakes the map, she could be a Giant worm like Creature or a mightier version of of the dreadnoughts that we have in game where she has 3 stages, the hive guard protecting her, Her shell, and the the queen herself ( i was thinking this could be along the lines of the industrial sabotage you guys made)

Basically I noticed that all the bugs of the same type are identically sized. I think it would be really cool, and visually extremely aesthetically pleasing if the bugs were within a random size range. So you could have really small spawners, increasing all the way up to really large spawners (somewhere around half the size of a grunt). The same for the grunts, different random sizes, from small grunts to large grunts. The different size bugs would spawn randomly, and their HP and damage should also scale to match, ALTHOUGH on average the damage and HP would remain the same, thus not affecting balance. This is inspired from the scene in the Mandolorian where he crashed on the ice planet and all the spiders come out of the eggs and tunnels. It struck me how similar it looked to the glacial strata with spawners. I did immediately notice though how good it looks with bugs of various sizes.

Bugcaller
An enemy special bug, about the same spawn frequency as the Warden. What do they do? Spawn more ground melee bugs (probably Grunts or slightly lower). Tries to keep away from Dwarves, will flee if alone. Once it's a certain distance, will summon again. Minimum preferred distance should be about the radius of a high intensity flare's light. Maximum retreat distance should be a high intensity flare's diameter.

Probably somewhat related to Hiveguard Dred or the Warder, acts as an alarm system for a Glyphid hive, calling additional grunts to the hive's defense.

Microwave beam OC for drak

The concept is pretty much like in doom eternal

So ,you still can shot standart projectile on single click , but if you press button you will release beam that with certain travel speed will lok on enemy , and deal medium amout of heat (or fill special meeter , filling speed affected by during health level of enemy) , when target is finally set on fire (or meter fully charged ) it will kill enemy end cause explosion .

Notes :
Standart crosshair is replaced with similar crosshair that we see during smart fire mode on LOK-1

The damage from beam itself miserable(or there is no damage at all)

If you take electricity mod it can proc electricity status even on dreadnoughts and oppressors like turret arc

Projectile travel speed mod increase travel speed of beam

Accuracy mod acts like narrowed lense mod for LOK-1 (if possible with bonus distance too)

A way to get into the Molly storage hatch in the space rig pre launch, then when it launches it closes. We were just joking about this so figured I’d post it.

I have noticed when I am placing gemini sentries I often take a solid 5-7 seconds trying to figure out which turret I am about to move. (I know the turret name glows)

Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but as a trap engi or during a swarm in haz 5+, turret placement is important and 5 seconds is alot of time to spend on this matter.

My solution would be to color code the turrets. Have one glow red and the other blue and when you go to place a turret, it asks if you want to move the red or blue one.

Make the friendly perk work on your grenades dealing less damage to yourself. I was playing around with gunner‘s Incendiary Grenade and noticed the elemental insulation perk reduces the fire damage you take from the I-Grenade when you throw it at your own feet. The friendly perk doesn’t seem to reduce the damage you take from your own grenades. Being able to stand in your Incendiary Grenade as Gunner at the cost of 2 passive perks seems fair to me and feels badass.

Considering the dreadnoughts we fight are suppose to be under-developed,

New fully developed Dreadnought: Steeve the Betrayed.

Mission type is rare and not always available. There could be three variations for the three types of grunt: basic, slasher and guard. The dialogue could be unique. Maybe actually have mission control tell the dwarves to try and get out after scans show what they were told to hunt. Saying it’s fully developed and they don’t have data for this or something. Or just has comms get cut off. It would just be cool to have the Steeve we leave behind develop instead of just being forgotten by others.

Then maybe Mission Control will let us take him home

New mission modifier: Overtime! On objectives that have a quota that you can exceed (Things like mining missions, point extraction, and all secondary obectives, but not things like escort duty or egg hunts) you get a small bonus for each additional objective completed. For example, if exterminating 10 fester fleas rewards 500 xp, killing 11 would reward you with 550 xp.

Corporate WAR Update.

The Rival Tech Company declares all out Corporate war on Deep Rock Galactic after finding out that several key installations and data cores have been stolen or sabotaged/destroyed. They've established a forward base on the surface of the planet and its now your job to take them out.

However one team is not enough, for this mission two teams will be sent in at the same time, a total of 8 Miners. Along with two BET-C class Mules. Both teams will have different objectives they need to complete in order to prepare for assault of the main rival tech base.

One team will be tasked with either distraction of the local garrison of machines as they make their way to the turret control system of the base in order to shutdown large artillery style cannons protecting the base from direct assault.

The Second team meanwhile will push towards the shield generator through a series of conduit pipes running beneath the base in order to sabotage the generator and bring the remaining defences down.

Once both objectives are completed the two teams will rejoin and will attack the base itself.

The base will have several waves of enemies to deal with before a new boss mob will appear, either a super drone kinda like a prospector but built for combat or some sort of mech suited individual from the rival tech company, it will have several weapons that you will have to shoot off in stages before it reveals an inner power core you have to shoot. Defeating this enemy will be very difficult hence why a team of 8 is justified.

Once the boss is destroyed you will recover a huge deposit of data cores from the base and will then be almost ready to leave.

To burn and salt the earth and make sure the base can never be used again you are required to send down a nuke Drone. This drone will give both teams 5 minutes to escape, the end cutscene will show a large detonation on the surface of Hoxxes.

Good Job Team!

An Unstable Overclock for the LOK-1 Smart Rifle.

Unstable Overclock - Rerouted Aim Assist:

With this overlock, It redesigns the LOK-1 itself, it's Lock On SMART System to target a single enemy automatically without having to manually lock on, and fire a limited number of homing rounds at that target until it is dead, Homing Rounds deplete, or it leaves the camera lock boundary. Converting the LOK-1 into a dependable Aim-Assisted automatic weapon while sacrificing some of it's SMART system features and complexities.

LOK-1 Rounds track one enemy at a time automatically and will highlight the tracked target. Prioritizes enemies closer to the crosshair.
Increased Ammo & Magazine Capacity
Permanently Automatic
Slightly adjusted Accuracy & Spread
Increased Max targets Cap

Large Damage Reduction
Can no longer lock multiple targets at once
Max Target Lock Cap now determines how many rounds will follow the tracked target before lock disengages, instead of how many locked rounds are-to-be fired on targets. Any Rounds fired after the Max Target Lock Cap reaches 0, will not lock. Locked rounds replenish after halting fire for a moment.
Locked enemies exiting the Lock Camera boundaries will have their Smart Lock disengaged prematurely.

why not have occasional Rival robot swarms? I think they could be worked out just as easily as all the other unique swarms in the game (Swarmer, Grunt, Mactera, etc.)

"We're picking up multiple energy signatures heading your way. Looks like our Rivals want you gone! Best prepare yourselves for the worst."
"Team, we've just confirmed our energy readings: you've got a slew of hostile robots inbound."

"Here come our Rivals! Show them who Hoxxes really belongs to!"
"Here they come, team! Scrap those bastard drones for good!"

Repellant additive upgrade for the platform gun should deal a small amount of continuous damage to glyphids walking on the platforms. Sometimes the repellant doesn't work out the way you want it to and it can be hard to predict where enemies go. This helps ensure that platforms that failed in diverting enemies don't become completely useless.

Flattens you like a pancake

Two part missions with a twist.

Mission 1 is set up. Disable defenses, distract a swarm or dred, etc.

Mission 2 is enabled only if Mission 1 was completed by the community maybe in enough numbers?) And takes advantage of the opening mission 1 caused to get a rare objective done. Extract something from Glyphid or Mactera nests, get a mineral they love, or steal a deposit that the rivals were trying to mine. Something like that.

Mission 1 is available as usual. Mission 2 is available to the whole community if Mission 1 is completed/completed in enough numbers.

Shock Beetle
The size of a Prateorian, the Shock Beetle is a heavily territorial and rare loner who sports an extremely tough exoskeleton and sharp horn. While these are par for the course on Hoxxes, it's most useful weapon is it's natural ability to draw on ambient energy in the area to generate slowing energy fields that zap anyone who gets too close. Even worse, it can use it's horn as a focusing point to fire bursts of lightning to blow any threat and the ground it's standing on to chunks. As expected, their favorite place to be is near the electrocrystals of the Crystalline Caverns, though they can be rarely found elsewhere. Despite their brutish demeanor and short temper, they will only engage those who fail to keep their distance and leave the electrocrystals unharmed, including other bugs.

Combat Tip: Leading hostile bugs into a Shock Beetle's territory without getting too close yourself can be a great way to relieve some pressure from your team!

Combat Tip: You can destroy either of a Shock Beetle's horns with enough focused damage to prevent them from firing bolts, but beware their resulting temper tantrum!

Resistances: Electric, Explosive, Cold, Stun, Fear

Attack: High
Defense: High
Speed: Slow

Family: Other
Type: Ground
Attack: Horn Stab (Melee), Horn Swing (Melee), Lightning Bolt (Electric, Explosive)
Special: Electric Aura (Electric, Area), Dehorned Rage (High speed increase, Lightning Bolt lost)
Armor: Legs (Light), Head (Heavy), Body (Unbreakable)
Weak Point: Horns, Eyes

Visually akin to a rhinoceros beetle, with a blue hue, dual horns (spaced apart vertically, not horizontally) which curve towards eachother to where lightning discharges would "build up" for attacks, and large bulbous eyes. Unlike the usual low stance of actual beetles who tend to hug close to teh ground, it would make an effort to extend it's legs to stand tall.

Seeing as the driller and scout both have plasma weapons based around the overheat mechanic, I thought it'd be fair for engineer and gunner to have one of those as well
Engineer: Beam Cannon (kinda like Zarya's weapon from Overwatch)
has a range of 30 meters; possible upgrades to extend/shorten the range in exchange for damage
T4/5 upgrades: Beam ignites targets that are being lazered by it; beam slows targets caught within it
Gunner: energy pistol (kinda like a phaser from Star Trek; didn't put too much thought into this one yet)
T4/5 upgrades: stuns targets for extended duration; fully charged shot to a target's weakpoint that also kills it causes it to explode and deal minor damage to creatures around it

More pickaxe upgrades:
Wide Swing
Channel your dwarven rage into your pickaxe and destory bugs who dares to get in your way with one great swing

Similiar to power attack but instead it does a wide swing which has large splash damage but 1/3 power attack damage
[can be useful in dealing with swarmer and weakened grunts]
Sharper Edge
With extra sharp edge, it can penetrate rock and mineral easier. Your welcome!

It took one less swing to mine rocks or other mineral that took more than one to break
Slammer
With all your dwarven strength, you slam the ground so hard it scares these bugs!

Deals small damage around you and scares most bugs around you in medium area and a cause a small crater in the center of the attack
[Can be a crowd control but not too useful for big bugs]
Extra Big Pick
We improved your pickaxe that it can carve a larger area, this can be helpful for you by alot!

Twice the pickaxe mining radius that allows you mine tunnels without having to mining other one so you can move foward easier or get bigger chunks of nitra at once
[it saves plenty of time.]
Skull breaker
We decide to design your pickaxe in a way that allows you to break through these fleshy bugs much easier with more damage!

Extra damage for normal pickaxe attack
[this should help finishing off bugs. Especially getting that juicy health]

"Natural lightning" anomaly/"Shroud of Darkness" warning.
For anomaly, making the caves brighter in some way. For example, some brightly glowing fungus growing on the walls
For warning, not so sure, but the opposite, making the caves darker and harder to navigate and fight in. Maybe some light-eating plants, maybe some glyphids surrounded with some aura that steals light, maybe the caves are just covered in some sort of a smog/mist type effect
Warning might lead to some horror-like scenes I imagine

temperature shock damage should scale with haz level/player count. in haz5 or above, 200 damage barely makes a dent on larger enemies like praetorians. considering that usually temperature shock is caused by two clashing loadout builds it would be fairer for it to guarantee heavier damage than 10-20% of an enemies' max health.

Scout's Pheromone Canister should be able to effect himself- If he throws it at his feet, he'll be able to attract all the bugs nearby and give his team some breathing room. While this would be a double-edged sword as scout can be squishy, scout also has enough mobility to kite these enemies, so you could use it really tactically and strategically. Ideally, you'd be able to do that to other dwarves, but that would encourage griefing, so the scout should only be able to do it to himself.

I always thought the idea of neurotoxin being a grease grenade with it's explosion was cool (though it's not thag good from my expirience) so here is my suggestion for a new driller grenade

Carry 4 throwing them down does nothing and it will stay there for either a set amount of time or forever, the way to use it is to shoot it with any weapon driller has, it would be able to cling in walls
The elemental dispenser mk 5

Flamethrower: combusts into a larger fire explosion and leaving lots of sticky flames on the ground (maybe uses the same stats as the flamethrowers sticky flames)

Cryo cannon: releases a bunch of cooling gas for 5 seconds (maybe uses the freezing power of the cryo cannon) this would also cooldowns players slowly

Sludge pump: the grenade starts spitting sludge piles in a circle and eventually fills in a large area in a longer last sludge pile, if bugs are nearby the sludge will be launched at them for additional damage while still leaving a pile

Secondairy interactions: sabata 120: shooting the greandes few times cause it explode in a area would work with explosive reload to make a sudo c4

Epc: shooting it would cause the grenade to implode even if you don't have thin containment, digging a larger area but doing less damage (say 130)

Notes: I don't do balencing so stats would be subjected to change and the secondairy weapon interactions could be changed or even removed

some new bug skins, imagine going down for another day in the mines when the guy next to you in the pod has the chitin of a whole goddamn dreadnought fashioned into a suit of armor and is wielding a minigun coated in menace chitin

current ideas for what would have armor available is the ability to wear armor made from the forelegs of gaurds

dreadnought armor

hiveguard armor

opressor armor

menace armor

praetorian armor

shellback armor

crassus armor (what a way to flex)

and armor slapped together from the rended components of the rival company's bots

this would also ideally come alongside weapons and pickaxes modified with these components sorta like the trophy hunter skins

these armors instead of being unlocked through dlc or assignments would be unlocked by killing a certain amount of that creature

for example killing 100 or so dreadnoughts for the dreadnought weapons and armor/hat or a few thousand guards for their cosmetics

Biome-Specific missions
Hello, yes it is me again, the guy who suggested the ability to fuse weapons together while also being able to do that with overclocks on the weapons, thus giving us thousands of weapon combinations and removing the need for any weapon updates, bringing you another suggestion, this time much less franchise-breaking. Anyway onto the suggestion: Biome specific missions would be missions that are always available, but only when you can access that area of the planet. They would all be wildly different, and be based on the biome that they are in. For example, the Crystalline Caverns mission would be as follows: You are dropped in with a specialized heavy lifter, to extract as many rare crystals/minerals as you can. These can range from tritilite deposits, to very large jadiz crystals, to super-compressed gold, to even crystalized holomite. The mission would give you very little to no credits for completing it, but would give dubiously large amounts of crafting resources. Or in the hollow bough, you would be sent out with canisters of a special gas, to try and cut down on the amount of creeper vines and bloated vines in the bough. Or in the Azure Weald, you would be doing something a little less interesting, which would be gathering plant samples for the Biological side of R&D, and so on and so on. The rewards would vary drastically from mission to mission, with simple ones like the Azure Weald plant sample mission giving you very little xp and crafting materials, but a big paycheck from R&D for helping them, or in hollow bough, not many credits or crafting materials, but lots of xp, due to learning about how to stop the invasive vines, and so on. I feel that this would bring something a bit more interesting into DRG, as it would be a bit more than mineral extraction, dreadnought killing, or egg collecting. Give your opinions in #suggestion-discussion and have a very rock and stone day, fellow dwarves

SUGGESTION: New Mutator: Biome Boarder
Maybe this could even pass as just a non-mutator aspect of the game. This would be featured on missions that are extremely close to a biome's boarder, and what the mutator would include would be:

Keeping the current biome's main asthetic, ores and enemies
Adds the terrain generation (but not textures) of the closest neighboring biome.
So you might have a mission set in Radioactive Exclusion Zone, but the shape of the cave would generate like that of Fungus bogs.
Some enemies, and ores might rarely spawn in the biome that regularly don't
Some ambient flora and crystals might find there way into their non native biome.

Essentially, if this was a mutator, the hazard bonus/risk would come from the unexpected added suprises of neighboring biome's hazards and enemies sometimes spawning (perhaps as elites)

**SUGGESTION: Better biome-specific reskins for grunts. **

While each biome feels wildly unique, I find the fact that grunts (and other enemies) remain mostly unchanged besides the odd pallet swap a little underwhelming. Some modifications to the models could make each biome's experience feel so much more unique!

Glacial Strata: Grunts have white or blue tarantula-like hair on their carapaces.
Radioactive Exclusion Zone: Grunts have extra heads or small limbs stuck to them at weird angles. (If this breaks the silhouette too much, tumorous growths are always a good alternative.)
Hollow Bough: Grunts have little red spikes growing from their backs, similar to the vines that wind through the area.
Azure Wield: Grunts have vibrant butterfly-like patterns decorating their carapaces.
Magma Core: Grunts have orange hides beneath glittery black carapaces, like that found on the real-life magma snail.
Crystalline Caverns: Grunts have small crystals growing on their carapaces.
Sandblasted Corridors: Grunts have stingers and mandibles, like the the Nevada Vinegaroon
Dense Biozone: Grunts have antenna and bulbous compound eyes, like moths.
Fungus Bogs: Grunts have mushrooms growing on their backs.

Additional ideas:

An exploder variant that spawns swarmers when killed.
A large insect that hurls nearby grunts at the dwarves.
A grenade that spawns little mechanical swarmers.
A burrowing worm, that "swims" in and out of the terrain, sort of like Risk of Rain 2's Magma Worm boss.
A "mimic" bug that disguises itself as a loot bug, only instead of bursting with money, it sprouts teeth and legs and charges the nearest player. (Inspired by the grub mimics of Hollow Knight.)
A scorpion-style grunt with a poison stinger. Its attacks deal additional toxic damage over time.
A dung beetle inspired insect as an environmental hazard. It will try to grab eggs, seeds, or ores and roll away with them.
An oversized trapdoor spider, functioning as a ground-based variant of the cave leeches.
A lootbug hat, if you haven't done that already. Let me wear a lootbug pet on my head!
A rhino beetle styled variant to the Praetorian that charges players. If it rams a wall, it gets momentarily stuck, leaving its backside vulnerable.
Give Steve a mining helmet and a barrel strapped to his back. This will better break up the silhouette between him and other grunts, making accidental Steveocide less common.
Let the player's own icon next to their HP bar use their dwarf's model, instead of the usual portrait. TF2 does something like this, which lets vain players like myself admire our outfits while we play.

SUGGESTION: Dreadnaught Swarm Types
There has always been a small chance to spawn dreadnauhts. I would like to suggest some lore-accurate situations where a specific dreadnaught would spawn.

Hiveguard on Egg collection
Hive guard when a large number of ambient swarmer eggs can be found
Twins on salvage (attracted by mini mules)
Twins on pipes (divide and conquor!)
Regular on doretta

Im not suggesting to make these the 100% spawn chance for the mission type, but just an increased chance. Makes sense to me

ok so i suggested a meat biome earlier--

Glyphid Hive:
it seems like we've dug into a large system of interconnected chambers meant for the overall survival of our nemesis. we've only scratched the surface, and as always, it's bad. oddly enough, some of the chambers resemble that of humanoid bodies, with rooms resembling stomachs full of digestive acid, or a heart, and even those wall eyes-- seems like we've figured out where those come from.

-features 1 hit terrain (goopy meat from egg hunt missions and blue veins from dread missions)

hazards include plenty of glyphid incubation zones and worker routes, as well as acidic goo lining the floor sometimes

caves are shaped like organs, and tracts moving through a body. walls can sometimes be seen as "breathing," (these are the "dirt" walls you would mine through). tunnels are shaped as tracts or even veins and arteries, getting incredibly tight.

Secondary Mission: Plumeworm Extermination
A relative of the Nayaka Trawler, Plumeworms are a rather bothersome species that has been causing increasing trouble for our operations on Hoxxes. Named for their distinctive feather-like mouthparts, these bugs burrow through the ground until they find an open cavity, at which point they will plant themselves in the cave wall and extend their plumes out to feed. Normally, this behavior would be of little interest to anyone except our biologists; however, they seem to have a penchant for setting up shop in our mining equipment, where they can cause considerable damage and even travel back to the Space Rig. As such, extermination efforts are needed to control their population, unless you want to be woken up in the middle of the night by a stowaway bug.
To find Plumeworms in the field, look for their distinctive plumes sticking out of the ground, walls, or ceilings. Damaging the creatures will cause them to quickly retreat into the ground, but they are sure to pop up again soon, often only a short distance away. It seems that they prefer to stick to a limited territory even when being hunted down. Hey, we never said that they were particularly bright. Just annoying.

the robots suck. keep the enemies as bugs. get rid of the robots in the next season and design new bug enemies instead

#

most people ive talked to hate them too. it feels like there is no point even doing the prospector or the new sabotage mission. on the other hand korlok weeds are fun when they randomly spawn in a level. there is a certain satisfaction from killing bugs that is not there from shooting robots.

#

this is all haz 5 btw. all haz 5 players ive talked to hate them. success rate on sabotage is 50% so sometimes 40 minutes is totally wasted. even when successful the reward does not match the effort. same with prospector, and data deposit. so basically all that coding was a waste of time. admit the mistake and change it next time.

tardy fulcrum ok so i suggested a meat biome earlier-- Glyphid Hive: it seems like we've dug ...

Absolutely LOVE this idea. Feel the need to build off it with my own suggestions:

Adding to my own "different grunts" suggestion, the grunts here should seem more defense-oriented then the ones found outside the hive. With that in mind, giving them additional carapace growth on their heads that just so happens to be shaped like a guard's helmet would be fun.
Make this place a series of chambers connected by a labyrinth of multiple claustrophobic tunnels like an anthill. Some of these things should be barely big enough for a dwarf to fit through, really emphasizing how unwelcome we are in this place. Adding to this, because these were presumably made by/for insects, have some of these extra tunnels be more-or-less inaccessible to the dwarves, Ie. appearing on ceilings or doing crazy bends.
One of the hazards of this place could be a sort of organic alarm system. Accidently trigger it, and it'll call a group of grunts to deal with the intruder.

Biome Concept:

The Failed Venture: A "biome" that was the result of a failed attempted by Deep Rock to establish a more permanent base of operations on the planet upon its initial discovery, before they realized how dangerous it was. Now it's half quarry and half abandoned factory, with narrow iron pipes acting as shortcuts between chambers, and old machinery being reclaimed by wildlife. The tunnels here are rigid and square, implying artificial construction, and old lamps flicker in the darkness.

Dreadnought concept: a dreadnought that has no eyes and uses echolocation and sound to find us and when it's about to use echolocation you get warning so you can hide from it. Can only spawn during quiet moments because loud machinery scares it away so it won't be there for any missions with big machines. It has very high attack power and has a lot of health. If it doesn't know your there, a weak point on it is exposed as it tries to listen for prey (similar to the monsters from a quiet place) and allows you to kill it super easily so you want to try to stay quiet and sneak up on it.

Elemental variants for Praetorians is cool and all, but how about regional variants for Oppressors?

Infester
A grim and constant truth about Hoxxes IV is the ability for it's many inhabitants to come together to kill any invaders. Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more literal as they continue to evolve, the parasitic vines of the Hollow Bough seeming to have found a way to burrow into and grow within sufficiently sized Glyphids, who, despite their significantly shortened lifespan and weakened armor, seem to take on their newly improved lethality with glee. With thorns growing out of their armor to puncture any dwarf who wanders too close, spikes embedded into it's weak spot to fly out when broken free by gunfire, and the ability to send snaking stabber vines coursing through the ground to targets in front of it, this monstrosity has become a high-priority threat in any engagement it enters.

Combat Tip: Unlike regular Oppressors, the Infester's heavy armor can be broken apart!

Combat Tip: The vines sent forth by the Infester must be killed, too!

Weakness: Melee
Resistance: Fire, Cold, Explosive, Electric, Stun

Attack: Very High (Above Opressor)
Defense: Somewhat High (Below Opressor)
Speed: Below Average (Above Oppressor)

Family: Glyphid
Type: Ground
Attack: Bite (Melee), Slash (Melee), Stabbers (Area)
Special: Thorny Armor (Area), Spiked Back (Ranged)
Armor: Front Body and Legs (Heavy)
Weak Point: Back

Clarification on stabbers: The attack works much like the Oppressor's forward-facing earthquake attack, except instead of displacing earth to throw dwarves up, it sends vines underground that pop up in clusters. Unlike large Stabbers, they don't come in a connected clump of 3 and are effectively glass cannons, attacking rapidly with little windup in a short range, but are very frail.

"Management has done studies and research on both the matrix cores and lost remnants down in the caves and has found out it contributes to a whole scene of incentives when it comes to the dwarves. Therefore, they have sent in a Radar at the Space rig to help with finding the ones you'd like, at a price :)"

So, I'm thinking, one problem that I see usually in a few comments and posts is that getting overclocks and new cosmetics from lost packs and cargo crates are a huge grind to those who don't seem to have the sufficient time to do these and thus, don't get access to the cool overclocks mechanics. There are tons of cosmetics and overclocks in the game but when it comes down to wishing to get the ones you want, you'll be spending a lot of time down in those caves searching at least in my opinion.

Now, this isn't much of a concern when it comes to me but to others, it has and has pretty much ruined the game for them in a few situations. So I thought to maybe propose a potential solution, the "QNR Radar".

So, here's how I would think it could work

( getting the other peice of text in here soon, discord only let me types a few characters)

#

So, here's how I would think it could work

The QNR Radar will have a UI in which has slots and a list of all the potential overclocks, cosmetics, and pickaxe parts to earn. You can favorite only to a limit of 8 of these items at a time and put them as something of the Radar.

Now, once you have 8 items that you would like to have and have favorited them into your radar, you will then have to pay a fine to start the Radar up and finally, it will become active

What the Radar will then do is increase your chance of getting those items when it comes to cargo crates, lost helmets, and matrix cores, which is better than the chance you had before this. The Radar will then expire after a certain amount of time like maybe a week possibly.

Now, that is an idea I have of this build. It may be too OP, it may be not beneficial to any, it could reduce and play hours of the game and make the game easily achievable to have everything. If you believe it could be one of these things or something else, tell me and I could figure out a way of balancing it somehow.

But all in all, this is to reduce grind of those who don't have time on their hands at a cost to boot up the Radar. They still would have to grind but would have a better chance at earning these items and wouldn't have to make this feel like a grind that has no purpose

Alrighty, that's all. Go smell some flowers now and throw a rock and stone at some random person.

Equipment Overclocks pt 1: engineers turret
Yeah yeah its me again.
"At the moment, the R&D Weaponry team is split into three "ideologies" of sorts: The first group, believes that plasma weaponry is the future, and look at the success of weapons like the Breach Cutter, DRAK-25, and plasma charger. The other group, believes that sticking with the already well-proven kinetic weapons we currently use is a better option, and look at the success of the LOK-1, Thunderhead, M1000, and so on. The third group, are the ones who make elemental weapons, like drillers primaries, the cryo grenade, pheromone canister, and neurotoxin grenade. They believe in both plasma and kinetic weapons, but believe in enhancing them with elemental abilities. They have now shifted their focus to the engineers turret, and all three sides have made upgrades for the turret."
Group ones turret overclock: Plasma Coil
So basically, the plasma coil works like a tesla coil, except it uses electrified plasma, and since it uses plasma that means it has a battery, meaning no more reloading your turrets. The plasma coil attacks fast, and can chain electrified plasma to multiple nearby enemies, and if you use the Turret EM Discharge overclock for Stubby on it, it will release a burst of electrified plasma, damaging every enemy in its range, and chaining the electrified plasma to enemies in close enough proximity. However, it tends to use up the battery charge fast, and takes longer to set up.
Group twos turret overclock: Electromagnetic Railgun
This one turns your turret in a railgun with very high damage, and the ability to pierce through multiple enemies the armor of even dreadnoughts, however its target acquisition speed is much lower, it has a low ammo capacity, and you carry much less ammo to refill it with.
Group threes turret overclock: Elemental ammo
Basically, you carry less ammo but your shots have a chance to electrocute, set on fire, freeze, and so on.

dense cipher **Biome Concept:** The Failed Venture: *A "biome" that was the result of a fail...

Following suggestion relevant to Finch's Biome Suggestion

APD-A206
A precursor to the B317, the A206, or "Adam," was known for it's advanced AI capable of performing many different tasks without oversight. Unfortunately, a common hiccup of it's complexity was it's quick deterioration, most commonly in it's IFF. After only a short time and many accidents, the A206 was shelved and replaced with simpler and less dangerous bots, though this was only after our attempts at permanent planetside bases had failed, meaning many hostile automatons remain on the surface to this day. Equipped with weak burst-fire SMG's and an advanced rocket launcher, Adam is dangerous but not infallible. While capable of independently firing the rockets unlike Bosco, it takes a short period for them to lock-on, and is otherwise surprisingly similar to Bosco's own rockets...

Combat Tip: Use the laser pointer to redirect an Adam's lock during it's very short lock-on period in order to avoid getting blasted!

Combat Tip: True to their All-Purpose nature, Adam's can repair other hostile automaton at a rapid pace if left unchecked, so destroy them first!

Weakness: Electric, Melee
Resistance: Fire, Frost, Poison

Attack: Medium
Defense: Low
Speed: High

Family: Automaton
Type: Flying
Attack: Burst SMG (Ranged), Rocket (Ranged)
Special: Repair (Melee)
Armor: Frame (Light)
Weak Point: None

While idle, Adam will (very very slowly) mine away at the walls and minerals, and shine it's light in random spots. It remains agile while shooting SMG's, but has to stop for approximately 1 second when locking on rockets. They have generally predictable timing for rocket firing intervals, so it's best to learn the rhythm

Biome Idea Inspired by @desert jetty:

The Boneyards: A network of tunnels resembling catacombs, full to the brim with ancient alien skeletons and dried glyphid carapaces. The black clay is speckled with bits of white bone, and grinning insectoid skulls protrude from the walls. Glyphids have been seen dragging their dead to this region, and have proven highly aggressive to anyone intruding on this primitive burial grounds.

Additionally, strange crumbling obelisks can be found amongst the fossils. Following a series of inexplicable accidents, management advises leaving these mysterious monuments alone. Some dwarves whisper of angry insectoid spirits stalking the piles of fallen creet, however the higher-ups are strictly against the spreading of any such stories.

Equipment Overclocks pt 2: Drillers Satchel charge
"The three ideologies of weapons R&D have decided to also give the drillers satchel charge some upgrades, quite potent ones though. Additionally, we have given the groups names, albeit simple ones, with group one being the Plasma Engineers. Group two is now known as the Kinetic Engineers, and the last group are the Elemental Engineers. Simple, right?"
Plasma Engineers overclock: Plasma Field
The plasma engineers decided to take an idea from an already existing overclock, the persistent plasma overclock. The drillers satchel charge no longer destroys terrain instantly, however it still destroys it. It generates a field of scorching plasma, like the persistent plasma overclock, which damages enemies, and then after a couple seconds the edge of the area connects to make a plasma field of sorts. Visually it looks like the thin containment fields field, and then destroys all terrain in the area, and deals large damage to bugs. However, the increased weight of all the tech, and the plasma battery, means that you can carry less than normal, and they take longer to be disarmed and picked back up.
Kinetic Engineers overclock: Plutonium Charge
The kinetic engineers also decided to take an idea from an already existing overclock, the fat boy. Simply put, they turned drillers satchel charge into a micro plutonium bomb. It destroys a massive area, as large as the hole that a detonator or crassus detonator makes, and fills the area with radiation, and deals incredibly high damage, capable of instantly killing an oppressor, but its so heavy that you can only carry two at a time.
Elemental Engineers overclocks: Cryo bomb, Corrosive sludge charge, Electro-explosive
The elemental engineers couldnt make one overclock as potent as the plasma field or plutonium charge, so they made three. The cryo bomb destroys less area but freezes anything, the sludge charge makes a massive pool of sludge, and the electro-explosive zaps everything.

#

Equipment Overclocks pt 3: Gunners forcefield
"The weapons R&D Trio of engineering groups has turned their gaze upon the gunners forcefield, and now it is quite..... uniquely upgraded with their upgrades."
Plasma Engineers Overclock: Plasma Protection Field
The gist of it is, it makes a large "circle" of sorts out of plasma, which no longer prevents bugs from entering it, but deals quite a bit of damage to any bug that stays in the plasma circle. Since it is using plasma, it lasts for much longer than the normal shield, however, this means that it now takes much longer to recharge.
Kinetic Engineers Overclock: Sonic Amplifier
The Sonic Amplifier no longer makes a field to block projectiles, but instead makes a noise highly sensetive to glyphids, so much so that when the glyphids come into range, they not only run in fear, but also take damage from the intense frequency of the Amplifier. The battery tends to run out quite quick though, but recharges quicker, and you can use it more often.
Elemental Engineers overclock: Electric Shield-Field
The Elemental Engineers did a great job on this one. Instead of projecting a sound field, or a plasma field, this little beauty syncs up all nearby dwarves shields, so that as long as they stay close enough, they can move around and the shield will move with them, and damage bugs inside it as well. It takes quite awhile to recharge, but stays up as long as the shield of every dwarf in the range of the shield-field stays up. If a dwarves shield gets taken down, the shield-field will get less range, and less damage done to bugs inside the shield, and the dwarf with no shield wont get the shield to protect them until they shield fully recharges.

#

Equipment Overclocks pt 4: Scouts flare gun
"This time the R&D Weapon trio decided to try upgrading the scouts flare gun, and did quite a damn good job at it."
Plasma Engineers Overclock: Plasma Flares
The plasma flares shine decently brighter than the normal ones and for longer, however you carry less of them, and they have less velocity in the air, thus making it a bit harder to aim them.
Kinetic Engineers Overclock: LED Flares
The kinetic engineers basically replaced the flares light source with the best LED they could find, which lasts for an incredibly long time and is a bit brighter, and you can carry more of them due to their decreased weight and size. Couldnt think of any downsides to this so yeah.
Elemental Engineers Overclocks: Fiery Flares, Fluorescent Sludge Flares
The elemental engineers decided to make two overclocks, the first one combines a modified cryo grenade and as much magnesium as they could possibly stuff in it, thus creating the brightest flares known to DRG. They last about the same length of the normal flares, but are heavier and larger so you cannot carry as many. The second one comes from experiments with the drillers corrosive sludge. By removing the corrosive parts and adding some of the fluorescent liquid found in glow sticks in party shops, the flares now deploy a pile of bright sludge wherever they hit the terrain. The sludge also slows down bugs that walk through it, but the fluorescent fluid makes it dissipate faster, and the flares are slightly larger and heavier, meaning you can only carry a little bit less than normal.

An escort mission but instead of going horizontal with doretta you're going vertical down a giant shaft. Maybe a large elevator style rig that slowly lowers you further and further down into the shaft until you reach a large deposit of liquid morkite at the bottom. You then had to defend the oil rig platform as it pumps the morkite before finally the rig ascends again to the top of the shaft.

You could fluff it as DRG using a large space laser to drill deep into the planet first and then sending a team deep into the core to retrieve something valuable.

The Mod failsafe seriously needs a rework. Three separate times ive either closed drg manually not at all due to a crash (such as an accidental game opening) or a crash not related to mods. Only once has the failsafe actually been helpful.
Current system is a serious case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater atm
Idea: when DRG crashes mid-load, when the player attempts to boot up, give them a text promp that asks something along the lines of "DRG failed to launch, disable all mods"
Its a really annoying system currently with larger mod profiles.

Since next update is going to have new secondaries, I'd like to put forth my ideal suggestions for the things the classes could have this update (from my long wishlist I can't be bothered to post):
Gunner: Handheld Pulse Laser, a powerful little package firing a laser with no recoil or inaccuracy that does have some ranged falloff, which cycles on and off several times per second. Does quite good damage but has no good swarm clear unless an overclock or upgrade focuses on electric or thermal damage conductivity. Looks like a technologically advanced pistol what with all the lights and automatic parts.
Driller: Subata 723 Micro MG, a relatively slow-firing and medium damage weapon with good accuracy, and decent magazine capacity as well. High weakpoint damage. Basically a fallback weapon for far-off or high-priority targets, lacking the direct damage of some of the more powerful EPC and Subata 120 builds.
Engineer: High-Intensity Discharge Emitter, a powerful energy weapon. Holding the trigger builds up energy (with a charge limit, of course) which is released on the trigger's release to jump forward into the nearest enemy and then chain between more based on the amount charged and the size of the enemy (larger creatures absorb more electricity and more damage). Unstable overclocks might make it detonate the first enemy hit instead of chaining, or fire a destructive sphere of energy, or so on.
Scout: Energetic Wave Cannon, a short range, shotgun-like weapon which launches a blast of what can be altered between heat, electricity, direct force, or radiation at enemies depending on upgrades. Effectively overheats on firing, needing to recharge its internal capacitors and cool down to acceptable levels, but since it does that while holstered it quite well lets you multitask.

Hoxxes IV is a very rich planet so it's makes sense that every biome should have 2-3 types of rock, minerals but most of them are useless for the dwarves because who cares about coal? Metals that are in Earth as well? Right? . For example in Magma Core Ash 1 hit only on surface (like snow in Glacial but more), Harder black stone with 4 hits but does not turn red hot after explosions. Coal deposits (useless but FUN TO DESTROY, also burns a little bit after burning it with something, increases sticky fuel duration), magnesium crystal rare but acts like a flare when shot. Probably people come up with more interesting stuff than I. I just want more stuff to break, use for defensive purposes.

quiet ocean Dreadnought concept: a dreadnought that has no eyes and uses echolocation and so...

This idea is building off of this previous idea I had

New biome: silent caverns
(Don't really know what it would look like)
There would be the blind dreadnought from my other suggestion spawned into it right when you start the mission. The point of the Mission is to kill the dreadnought but in order to damage it you need to lure it to a certain crystal and then shatter it, the sound from it shattering would stun the dreadnought and allow you to damage it for a certain amount of time (the part about my Earlier suggestion where if it doesn't know your there would still be effective and it would allow you to damage it earlier but it would then immediately start attacking you and it's really powerful. But if you shatter the crystal next to it, it would be stunned and unable to attack for a certain period of time, probably between 7-15 seconds) around the environment would be sound traps (made by the rival company) that when activated create a loud sound alerting the dreadnought to your location if it is close enough to hear it. There would also be flying enemies called shriekers they would already be spawned in and would have a small vision radius. If they see you they will shriek to attract the dreadnought. They are very weak though and could be taken out in a few shots. In order for gunshots to be heard by the dreadnought you would need to be pretty close as there would be sound dampening crystals everywhere. You would also need to destroy the sound dampening crystals in the area around the loud crystal in order for it to stun the dreadnought.

Some mission control voice line ideas:
"For this mission you will be killing a (insert blind dreadnought name) make sure to be very quiet"
"Shriekers, be very careful taking them out"
"The dreadnought heard you, RUN!!"
"previous miners found that breaking those crystals create a certain frequency that stuns the dreadnought. Lure it too the crystals and you might just get a chance to kill it"

i personally think the hawk eye system making the turrets smarter (not shooting oppressor's armor) and focusing weakpoints with more weak point damage would make it a lot more enticing to use, I rarely ever feel like passing up a straight +5 damage(nearly doubled base damage) is worth it just for more range and speed

dense cipher **Biome Suggestion:** The Iron Channel: *Believed to have been carried to Hoxxes...

An expansion on this suggestion, the material of certain sections of it could be incredibly shiny, accurately reflective, when polished finely by erosion, and also reflect certain energy weapons. Additionally, alongside the jagged and winding tunnels formed by the settling of the massive metal chunk as the terrain around it shifts (causing occasional earthquakes), it could have eroded tunnels being smooth, straight and virtually never changing direction, with the two being complete opposites encountered.

i think a randomizer mechanic would be neat. instead of picking all your upgrades and overclocks for a class you can just click the random option and it randomizes overclocks, mods and the weapon your using to allow for more spice between runs instead of having to manually pick out a build everytime you want to go for something funny.

GK2 Overclock suggestion: Uncap the recoil when using overclocked firing mechanism.. Currently the increased recoil debuff doesn't really apply because after a while the recoil hits a limit and you can just aim down again, effectively making it a direct upgrade to the base weapon (apart from using up your ammo super quickly).

Small Aesthetic Improvement:
During deep dives, the make the stone/dirt of each cave system a little darker then the one before it. This will help emphasize the deepness the players are reaching. (For the Magma Core, make the already dark stone take on a metallic sheen)

Suggestion: Reduce the cooldown for Season Challenges from 24h to 20h.

Reason: It really sucks when you get a challenge that is do 5 missions which in turn pushes your next day's challenge out an hour which snowballs until you have a day with no challenge.

By reducing the cooldown to 20 hours, it gives players a 4 hour window to complete their daily challenge so as not to incur slippage and lose tomorrow's challenge.

clean OC for cryo cannon, cryogenic propellant: replaces the inert gasses use in the cryo cannon with rocket fuel causing frozen enemies to ignite faster or explode

effectively halves the standard heat threshold if the the standard burn threshold is met in one damage with in a short time (less than a second) it will detonate. damage and radius depend on cold chill required to freeze said unit

Deep Dive alternate gamemode suggestion:
Performance Review: To ensure the workers are remaining as efficient as possible, management has started sending multiple teams of miners in to opposite ends of especially rich caves. The team that completes the objective and gets back to their escape pod first receives a bonus.

This is one of those ideas that is probably too insane to work, but I thought I'd throw it out there to see what people think.

Funky Satchel Charge: The Insta-Tunnel
Similar to Rock-Mover, but redirects the explosion into a single direction, trading the 360 boom to either like, a straight tunnel, or a conical explosion.
Not sure how orientation would work, probably facing towards the surface it lands on, but mid-air it could either just spin around so you can either take out a wave/your entire team, or just not be active until landing, and have increased dmg or something to make up for it. Could be used effectively with a bit of prior planning, leading Glyphids into the blast-zone to det from behind a wall, or facing up towards a bit of nitra on the ceiling, waiting for the scout to zip up to it. drillchamp

If folks can suggest a 5th class for the 30th time in a week, I can suggest a demo after 3 years.

Demos are a consumer friendly way to let folks try out the game instead of buying then refunding. Additionally it shows that a company stands behind its product and believes it is a quality product. Steam's Next Fest proves that demos directly result in more sales overall (this isn't about DRG participating in next fest, rather offering a demo on the steam store page). Games that participated generated on average a 421% increase of wishlists for their product. As a result of the increased wishlists and consumers getting to demo games, developers saw nearly a 300% increase in conversions from games on a wishlist to a sale. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/3002196778013479574

Long story short. Demo good. Demo can increase sales. Heavily encourage demo on steam store.

when you add the crossbow as a secondary can you make one of the OCs to function like Yondu's arrow? Basically would function much like Plasma Bursters on the Hurricane where the rockets follow the reticle but the arrow would follow the reticle, have a lot of penetrations, increased projectile velocity, high turn rate. possibly a trail of light where it flies that fades away.

I know it's definitely not a new idea, but here are some alternate flare suggestions:

Flood Lamp: Place a lamp that shines a bright light in the direction you're facing. It's brighter and lasts longer then a flare, but instead of recharging over time it has to be retrieved. You can place a total of 3 before you run out.

"Spelunker-Grade" Flashlight: Press F to boost the power of your flashlight, making it about as useful as a flare. This slowly burns through a battery that recharges over time.

Mining Lamp: Press "F" to hold out a gas lamp in your left hand. It provides an indefinite source of flickering light around you. You cannot use weapons or tools besides your pickaxe while the lamp is out.

Bag of Glow Sticks: Half the size and light of a flare, but you get twice as many and can throw them out at rapid speed. Plus, they come in a variety of fun colours!

Phosphorous Glob: Hurl a junk of glowy goo, that sticks to the first surface it hits. You can fling it much further then a normal flare, but it doesn't last as long.

BONUS IDEA:
Active Perk Night Vision: Once a minute, you can activate 15 seconds of night vision. During this time, all enemies are highlighted red, all allies are highlighted green, and all resources are highlighted yellow.

Additionally, Driller's HE grenades don't seem to have a use in his kit at the moment. The fuse on them makes it hard for proper placement, and despite the description claiming it can remove dirt, it really doesn't make a big enough bang to matter.

The seasonal thing has actually been pretty fun, having a new task system to do. I have liked it. But I really don't want this content to go away, I'd love for it to stay as a normal part of the game in some way.

Maybe the aliens leave, but their "Remnants" are left behind, and we're simply to clear them out.
Sabotage no longer gives the seasonal reward of scrip, but, what if we had like one Sabotage we could do a day for something special, like a daily? Just some bonus XP/Credits/Minerals if anything would be nice, or, don't get rid of the sabotage season at all, leave it just as is for it's own Scrip tree, and just introduce another scrip tree down the line?

Idk, whatever happens, I just hate to think content might disappear, I like the hacking stuff and the prospectors now that I've done them a bit, it adds something else new to the game. I really don't want to see them go.

Flare modifications:

Tier 1 (lvl 8)

Improved fluid density - flares give slightly more light

Optimized flare production - flares production time decreases by 2 seconds

Stable fluid - flares last 5 seconds longer

Tier 2 (lvl 22)

Aerodynamic flares - you can hold F button to throw flares further away

Sticky flares - flares stick to first surface they encounter for some time (half of the duration)

Unstable fluid - flares give slightly more light when they are next to another active flare

Also it would be cool if we had some fauna/flora that disables flares (including scout's) for short to medium timeframe for non linear difficulty increase as well as some mild horror accent

Fix: There should be a mechanic for getting the XP when host leaves the game after completing DD. I clutched the shit out of the game, host left/crashed right after exfil. Got the OC's and core reward, also shows HC DD as completed but didn't get the xp. 😦

Suggestion:
OC's for utiliti e.g. :permanent (i.e. burning) flares. Maybe five 5-ish in total and you get 2 or so every resupply.
for Engi: chargeable platform launcher, rather than flat platform it charges and explodes into a round one.
Different nades: e.g. a foam nade for engineer, explodes into a ball of foam (sort of like the OC)

why dont make a key bindings on active skills?
please make the assignments at all times that gives forge core and scrip. for example, 4~5 games above 4 hazard level gives 1 core or scrip as reward, but it can be accepted permanently.
the assignments rans out when we reach 50s level. after then, we just wait for weekly assignments.
also a number of matrix cores we can get is fixed. 3/3/3 per a week. for more cores, we just wait weekly too.
and scrip have a simillar problem. the only thing we can do for extra scrip is just pray for be got a sabotage daily mission on tomorrow lol.
i think my suggestion can refine those problems tho.

Rival Company BET-C
yeah its me here we go again
So I was thinking that the rival company may have encountered some BET-C battle mules, and after defeating them they probably got the idea to make themselves their own BET-C, however since they use robots that hover and shit, they would probably end up making a mini robot-gunship of sorts, with less armor than a BET-C so it can be killed, but has 4 small burst turrets on the bottom, and 4 small bomb mortars on top which would just yeet bombs, however it wouldn't have a shield, but it would have a sniper turret in the bottom middle area, kind of like Condor gunship from the halo universe, (pic below) but smaller and much less op. They could be encountered on any mission, but would have a higher chance of being encountered in the industrial sabotage mission because its industrial sabotage, of course their gonna send one of their mini-robot gunships in to try and protect the data rack. This would basically be a flying oppressor but with worse armor that can be destroyed and killed much easier than an oppressor, unless you run deepcore 40mm PGL with hyper propellant and dmg upgrades (which i use now instead of fat boy), in which case its killed just as easily as an oppressor. Give your opinions in #suggestion-discussion, and have a very rock and stone day

Honestly, my current experience with Season 1 its been less fun because I feel like there's even more directing me to play missions that I just don't want to. I really don't like escort or salvage and I don't enjoy the hollow bough or the fungus bog. Assignments were already annoying because instead of playing the parts of the game I want to, I'm stuck doing the missions if I want the resources. It's basically at the point where I want to just play the missions I enjoy, but I need the resources and overclocks.

Basically: either I play maps and modes I don't want to, or I don't get to unlock stuff.

I'd really like to see Season 2 have universal goals more often for its challenges like kill 300 grunts or mine 500 nitra. This makes it so I can get them no matter how I play.

One such suggestion I had with Ziplines would be to possibly have some sort of button to press so that you can grab stuff while you're still ziplining.

As a gunner who does a lot of solo missions, sometimes, I'd have to use a Zipline to grab a secondary objective from the walls if it's high off the ground so with the key you press to switch which direction you're going being the same to grab stuff, it's obviously quite a lot to on purposefully let go of the zipline, grab the thing and get back on the zipline fast enough so that you don't fall.

Omen Modular Exterminator is too difficult during Machine Events.

The difficulty of Omen Modular Exterminator is too hard compared to other Machine Events. In particular, I like to complete missions alone, but OME is very difficult to break alone. As I have to stand alone on the scaffolding, other spider monsters will also spawn, and it's so difficult to deal with a self-destructing drone that is quite painful if hit, so I don't even deal with OME at all, I just ignore it. Please lower the difficulty of OME. It would be appreciated if monsters do not spawn during OME, or if you lower the number of self-destruct drones.

It would be good if you widen the footrest of the mineral storage hole on both sides of the Drop Pod.

The footrest of the Drop Pod's mineral storage hole is too narrow to put minerals into that hole. I would appreciate it if you could widen the footing a bit to make it easier to climb.

Friendly Patrol Bots ought to glow blue instead of green. The most common types of colorblindness all introduce confusion distinguishing red from green; right now in order to be sure if a Patrol Bot is friendly I have to either stare longer or read its namecard, both of which can cost you your life at higher difficulties.
The screen border effect on shield link's active is too intrusive. For a player who isn't familiar with it and doesn't know it's been used, it can be mistaken for a debuff instead of a buff because the effect blocks visuals and seeing less = bad. I'd either make it narrower, more transparent, or even rework it entirely into more of an electric charge effect, something that really feels "pumped up" without distracting from vision.
Currently, the earliest indicator for a new swarm is a change in the music. This happens roughly 30 seconds before any other signs, even before a callout from Mission Control. I love the music in Deep Rock Galactic, but I think the Music slider in any game should be optional: that is, as long as they keep SFX turned up, players shouldn't lose information or prep time for choosing to turn the music down. As such, there should be a visual and SFX indicator of an incoming swarm at the same time the music starts to shift -- say maybe, a hazard triangle ⚠️ somewhere onscreen accompanied by a broad rumbling sound.

A problem that some of DRG players have experienced in Escort is the lack of variety in the Heartstone phase. It really is the same pattern with the same phases over and over and maybe more phases than just the 4 we have as well as some randomization could help. Well, I'm here to suggest a few good ideas that may seem good as an Ommoran Heartstone phase.

BEFORE YOU READ

I can't include concept sketches of the concepts so unfortunately, you might need to use your imaginations I
When I reference crystal, I am usually talking about a design of the Ommoran crystal

CONCEPT 1: Crystal Stalice

Alright, crystal stalice, here is how it would work. Essentially, one of the big pulses from the Ommoran had enough force to set tense enough vibrations within the cave to cause a sudden earthquake. This earthquake sets in motion stalactites to fall from the cave, but this one is special.Crystal stalice is essentially just the fancy term for crystal stalactites from the Ommoran.

CRYSTAL STALICE

When crystal stalice is about to fall from above, there will be an indication in where the stalice will fall upon and will be signaled with a red circle ping on the ground. The more red circles within the area, the sooner the stalice will fall. The stalice will immediately fall once the red circle is full and the crystal stalice will fall upon the area.

Upon contact of the area, it will do a small explosion, damaging anything, including bugs and the drilldozer and send crystal shards flying.

However, while in mid-air, you will be able to shoot the crystal and with one touch, will be destroyed. This will stop the crystal from its contact to the ground and thus, if its designated location were the drilldozer, it wont do anything to it.

frigid eagle Dec 12, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

CONCEPT 2: OMMORAN GUARD
The most elite species that dwarves have feared and have even gotten Karl to almost drop his pickaxe, almost. The Ommoran Guard will be a species that will only deploy in this particular phase. The Guarc is entitled with duties to always protect the Heartstone no matter what.

The Guard will be entitled to protect a Crystal Emitter, which disrupts the drilldosers effort to drill into the Heartstone and must be destroyed in order to continue the drilling.

The Crystal Emitters won't damage the drilldozer, just stop it from drilling and once the crystal emitter is destroyed ( will take a little more effort from pickaxes ), the drilldozer will continue its duties.The crystals will spawn at least 2 - 4 times during the phase and the Ommoran Guard will always be with it.

For the Guard however, I don't have much as to what they do and how difficult they will be unfortunately but just make em terrifying is all, sorry for the little info on them.

CONCEPT 3: CRYSTAL FORMATIONS

Crystal wall formations in the phase will began appearing around the cavern on the walls, roofs, and the floors and will act to the players an as ever changing environment and players will have to adapt to the changing circumstances. However if it were to spawn around the drilldozer, maybe it would be excruciating and frustrating so maybe around there is probably where they wont spawn but other than that, probably nothing more and nothing less will limit the capabilities of its spawn .Also, crystals will be broken easily similarly to the normal ommoran crystals.

frigid eagle Dec 12, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

CONCEPT 4: VISION IMPAIRED

The pulses from the Ommoran Heartstone let out a form of gas that impairs the vision of the dwarves.

This vision could maybe go either two ways,

ONE. You could be seeing double or even triple of things, which will make you question just exactly what you are shooting at. Now, this would seem a little bit frustrating considering it would last a whole phase but what do you think on this? Maybe the one that will be fake would be the slightly faded one compared to the real one.

TWO. You begin to start feeling sleepy and you have the sense of just wanting to go to bed. Your eyelids will slightly shut, then go back, then shut even more, then spring open a little bit, but the real issue here is going asleep.

See, if you aren't getting damaged, you will begin to shut your eyelids more until eventually, you will pass out and must be woken up with another hit. A hit could come from an enemy, fall damage, or even a dwarf once they see flashing yellow hints around your body meaning you will about fall asleep

You will retain all health and shield from before you passed out so don't worry about that. The only issue I have with this is solo stuff considering you won't have a dwarf to smack you in the face once you start feeling sleepy. Again you get hurt a lot in this game, especially during an Ommoran phase so I don't think it would be bad.

CONCEPT 5: UPWARD CRYSTAL EMERGENCE

Crystal stalagmites will emerge abruptly from the ground, causing significant damage and will yeet the person.

Before a crystal stalagmite emerges, there will be rock particles coming from the ground in which it will emerge. The more the particles, the sooner it will erupt. There will also be cracking of the ground below the particles as well to indicate the emergence, the more the cracks, the sooner it will erupt.

Anyways, thats all folks. Feel free to leave your thoughts, thanks for reading and remember, rock and stone!

New terrain/event, Surface of the asteroid

Other objects may hit it during the event, Good lighting for once for the most part.

Bugs are swarming in giant pillars to attack DRG orbital platforms themselves so now you have to march to the opening, sneak in between waves or blasts (Could just be an advanced Dreadnought firing from below the surface) and you plant an explosive to either kill it or take down the hill that they made. Which of course is finished with a race against the clock to GTFO.

Could act as a deep dive like mission where you have 3 stages, planet surface, tunnels, explosive set up on the Dreadnought shooter/weak point.

Glyphid Princess
When the Glyphids were first spreading across the surface of Hoxxes, they adapted to their new surroundings, and eventually their pheromones too changed, becoming strangers to eachother. Resultingly, the hives in each biome became hostile to one another. Previously, their body count in this war was just barely below their rate of production, but with us slaughtering them by the hundreds, this new birthing strain has emerged. From what our scientists can tell, it seems to be some sort of unholy mix between a Warden and a Hiveguard. Dreadnaughts may be scary, but the Princess? Expect the swarm of your lives.

Combat Tip: The Spore Emitter is covered in a regenerating carapace which, when removed, temporarily disables the offense buff and becomes a powerful weakspot!

Attack: Low
Defense: Maximum
Speed: Medium

Family: Glyphid
Type: Ground
Attack: Flap (Melee, Area), Quake (Melee, Area)
Special: Cocoon, Offense Enhance (Area), Grunt Release (Area), Call Reinforcements
Armor: Wings, Body, Legs (Unbreakable)
Weakpoint: Mouth, Spore-Emitter

Visually, Glyphid Princesses resemble Wardens, though the size of Dreadnaughts and with 4 huge moth-like wings extending from their back.
Cocoon: Wings envelop the Princess, protecting the Spore Emitter
Flap: Wings push enemies in an area away
Quake: Wings smash the ground, dwarves in an area sent skywards
Grunt Release: Near-constantly produces Grunts + variants (Barring Exploders)
Call Reinforcements: Used only at fight start, calls small number of larger Glyphids (Barring massive, ie Oppressors)

Princess does not chase, and halts regular swarms while active.

This enemy is only encountered as the boss of this mission: #suggestions message

So, I'm still new to the game and learning/unlocking stuff, so I still got a little bit before I can officially start popping off ideas for the game, but one I feel I need to point out is this:

First of all, I don't know if the devs plan on making new characters to play as, and second I don't know if they have or plan to incorporate a PvP mode, but I have an idea that could cover both. For starters, the new characters would be a set of 4 like with the Dwarves we have now, but I was thinking this new group would be a group of Orcs with unique gear to themselves, and can be played with normally like the Dwarves, but the PvP mode would have you choose a side. There would be a multitude of modes like there is now (like Point Extraction, Egg Hunt, etc), but it would be more of a competition of which team can gather the most minerals in a fixed amount of time, or take out the most/biggest Gylphids/enemies in general, within a fixed time. Since this mode would have an 4v4 mechanic, caves would more often than not be long and complex, or just entirely new caves with a different rating system. Either way, it would mostly be a competition of which team is the better Mining/Slaying team.

Or we could just do it the old fashioned way and just try to take out the other team... idk. It's just a thought. I mostly just wanted to point out if they do a DLC thing and bring out new playable characters, instead of more Dwarves, we could easily pull off Orcs since many things tend to portray them living underground and working in mine shafts. They could even get a little creative with the skins and let us have Darkspawn from Dragon Age or something.

The Corrosive Sludge Pump should deal regular DoT damage to armor. This would be thematically appropriate. Currently it only deals damage to armor if the Ingredient X is used. Ingredient X would still greatly increase armor damage over baseline if this change was made.

A new mission type: Train escape! (With actual tracks!)
Instead of escorting dotty you get to escort a loaded freight train that will make 1-3 stops (depending on mission length) to a launch pad where it will deposit all freight cars full of goodies. The train will have 6 cars in total, defend them and a fine paycheck will be rewarded! Also the freight train is fast, your team can stop it anytime but it will give the bugs a good chance to attack! So don't fall off!

Gold really should be able to mine with 1 pickaxe swing. Most players skip gold because they are time consuming to mine and they dont reward much credits. Crassus detonator shouldnt feel like a chore, it should feel rewarding to players. Mining gold as dwarves is the main part of its fantasy, hopefully devs can give more incentives to gold mining

Second Wind Rebalance
Level 1: Unchanged
Level 2: 8% Movement Speed -> 10%
Level 3: 4.5 Second Delay -> 4
Level 4: 12% Movement Speed -> 14%, 4 Second Delay -> 3.5

The consensus I've seen, and from personal experience, is that players generally don't sprint without interruption long enough for this to activate very often, and even when it does, it's hard to notice. Bumping it's max effectiveness a bit (and making the levelling more consistent) would hopefully rectify this, and make it a perk more people are willing to use.

Rather than spawning macteras out of thin air, spawn them in holes, for example, way up in the shaft where the drop pod comes in, or where a resupply pod comes in. This would work especially well in the desert or icy biomes, spawning them in the vents. It's just a tad disorienting to see a group of macteras appear out of thin air in front of you. It makes sense for the glyphids, since we can see them dig out of the ground, but not the flying bugs.

Support tool and utility overclocks or just upgrades in general. Of course there could be clean ones like +10 ammo for the platform gun but I wanna share my ideas on some unstable ones. The reason why I want overclocks for these tools is because it gives much more customizability options to the player. These below are just my ideas for some overclocks:
Engineer
Platform gun

The platform gun shoots pillars (about dwarf sized) instead of platforms, the pillars are vertical and their diameter is a bit smaller than a platforms "This could be used to make walls better at the cost of smaller platforms when making staircases or ledges"
The gun has a lot more ammo but it shoots small balls (works like the GLOO cannon from Prey) "More versatile as you can do both platforms and walls, but it takes more time as you have to shoot multiple balls to do something"
LMG Gun Platform
The sentry gun has a deployable mini rocket launcher on top of it that has to be built separately "Engineer gaming"
The amount of sentry guns doubles, they are thrown and stick to surfaces, they're smaller and weaker, they auto construct themselves but can't be refilled, they have to be recalled and redeployed to have more ammo
Driller
Reinforced Power Drills
Power Drills can be detached from the Drillers arms and will continue to fly forwards constantly digging (and consuming more fuel) "This would allow the driller to run away while simultaneously making a tunnel, also lets him mine ores from distance"
Gunner
Zipline Launcher
The max angle property can be ignored, but if the zipline is at an angle that doesn't respect the max angle, it will break after x time "Vertical ziplines, lets go"
Travelling on a zipline is way faster but bugs can walk on them
can't send more cuz no Nitro 😦

(Throwing stuff into molly seems like a good idea in general.)

Add a perk that lets you spawn a barrel, perhaps one that explodes when shot.
Being able to barreljump in big cavens would be fun.

I am sure there are a ton of people suggesting secondary weapons so I may as well throw my own into the mix:

Gunner:
Crossbow - get medieval on them the way dwarves used to centuries ago. Slow rate of fire and reload after
every shot, but high damage especially if you hit weakpoints. Fairly accurate straight shooting projectile
with a slight arc if you aim far away.

Tier upgrades include perks like:
pinning shots - successful hits on ground targets smaller than opressors immobilize them for a few seconds.
Hits on flying targets have a chance to knock them out of the sky.
serrated arrowheads - hits cause a bleed effect that ignores armor

Overclock ideas:
Semi-automatic crossbow, Exploding bolts

Engineer:
Tesla cannon - A short range dual-coiled generator that sends arcs of electricity in a 45 degree cone in front of them.
Electrical type damage and a good sustained close range aoe alternative to breach cutters and grenade launchers.
An overheat type weapon with no reload similar to Drak carbine or gunner minigun

Tier upgrades include perks like:
Chain lightning - targets that get hit have a chance to have electricity arc to nearby enemies dealing extra
area damage. This chance increases if the targets are already shocked (pairs well with some stubby/lok1 builds)
Electrical burns - hit targets have a chance to get burned, lightning them on fire and dealing damage over time

Overclock ideas include:
Thunderbolt: charged shot that goes in a straight line through enemies
Turret Overcharge: much less ammo and damage, but hitting your turret overcharges it for 5 seconds, making it shoot
extremely fast like a minigun with a few second cooldown of no firing afterwards

For when your pc crashes or something and you lose your progress on a mission.

Promotion Gamemode Suggestion:

Unpaid Overtime: Today is your legally-mandated monthly break, but Management has just found a massive cave system and they need dwarves to explore it. While they aren't allowed (or willing) to pay you for your work, they ARE willing to "buy" any of the valuable resources you happen to find while exploring these systems in your off-hours.

The premise is simple: Unpaid Overtime lets you explore deeper and deeper into an unending procedural cave network. The deeper you go, the harder things will get. There is no completion objectives or base salary. Instead, you'll be payed purely on how many valuable resources you come back with. You can choose at any time to end the mission, provided the majority of your team votes to call it quits. The resources to collect are a combination of every secondary objective resource found in normal missions, as well as those found by besting bosses/elite enemies, or overcoming unique challenges. Your team will have to manage risk vs reward, deciding if they have what it takes to open that dreadnaught cocoon, or if they should turn back now before they lose all their hard-won loot.
Think of it a little like a co-op roguelike.

Mission Suggestion:
Swarm Control: A tower-defense styled mission, somewhat inspired by Team Fortress 2's long-abandoned "Mann Vs Machine" gamemode. Miners must defend a point against waves of oncoming bugs in a cavern with a long horizontal path. Swarms enter from one side of the tunnel network, while the point to defend resides on the opposite end. These enemies drop a unique resource upon death, which miners can collect and use to construct defensive structures and machines between waves. This resource vanishes if it is not collected after a certain amount of time, making the scout handy for ensuring you have enough funding to properly defend each wave.
Due to scans from mission control, miners can know what sort of bugs to expect while preparing for the next wave, allowing them to refund and swap out defenses as necessary.

Defensive Structure Ideas:

Basic Turret - The same turrets found in Point Extraction. Choose a place to drop it, similar to Engineer's turrets.
Flamethrower Turret - Uses a close-range flamethrower instead of bullets.
Explosive Turret - Lobs Besty's explosive mines instead of bullets.
Sniper Turret - Fires a thin beam of energy instead of bullets. Prioritizes larger targets first.
Barrier - Place two rods similar to the hacking nodes, which will project an energy barrier between them. This barrier blocks bugs and bullets, but dwarves allows dwarves to pass. Bugs will either try to go around it, or chew through it if no easy path around can be located. Once broken, the barrier will remain down for the remainder of the wave.
Stasis Field Generator - Creates the same slowing effect as the Scout's stasis field, but does so continuously.
Resupply Pod - Same as the usual resupply pod, however this version is placed by a dwarf instead of drilling through the ceiling.

I can think of all sorts of other ideas, from gas-emitters to lamps, but I've run out of words, and you get the point.

Driller: (part of my secondary weapon ideas)
Battle axe - For when you want to get down and dirty, and a pickaxe just won't do, grab your good old trusty
battle axe. This weapon is a pure melee weapon with a fair reach, with a power attack with
improved radius, armor breaking and much heavier damage compared to the pickaxe. When wielding it, it is a properly
equipped weapon, with unlimited swings. And yes, the beserker/vampire/ill see you in hell perks work with it.

Tier upgrades include:
Cleaving swings - wider swing radius allowing you to hit more glyphids with each swing.
Frenzy - each kill allows the next hit to swing 20% faster, stacking up to 5 times.

Overclock ideas include:
Katana - Someone's been practicing their agility. The katana does much less damage per hit, but you can
swing much faster. The power attack becomes a flurry of swings, dealing damage to all gyphids in a 360
degree radius and deflecting ranged projectiles directly back at the attacker for 2 seconds.
Earthquaker Axe - much slower swings, but crushes armor like no other and deals heavy damage. The power attack
has a significantly longer cooldown, but with a drastically increased radius. All glyphids in the radius of the
impact are stunned for a few seconds in addition to taking big damage.

Second Wind rework: Change condition of giving the sprinting speed boost from run continuously for a few seconds to not use any weapons or equipment for a few seconds.

In most cases during combat and such it'd work almost the same as it does currently, but actions like grabbing a zipline, pinging something, stopping to check a terrain scanner or double-tapping sprint to trigger Dash would not disable the speed boost, and thus allow you to instantly continue running at increased speed afterwards, making it feel a bit smoother to use and improving perk's overall uptime.

Support tools and/or pickaxe could also not reset the timer if that wouldn't be an overkill.
Time needed to activate the boost as well as the amount of movement speed bonus provided could also be tweaked alongside if necessary.

Personal flares are refusing to light, flashlight bulbs are bursting, mining rig and drilldozers lights are only working up to 25% of their normal output, and EMFs are going off the charts. Even natural light sources are dimmer then normal. R&D is in agreement that it might be ***related to that Unknown Horror*** you've all encountered--perhaps it's point of origin; Hollowed Grounds if you will.  

 **Scout's Flare Gun works just fine**, thankfully, but is not enough. I heard ***Engineers made a "Soccer Ball" that emits light*** for "recessional purposes". R&D has made note that it doesn't seem to be effected by this phenomenon; perhaps due to it's casing, **so we will supply ONE with you with greater light output;** ***just try not to lose it.*** Your going in Darker then ever before; Take care down there, Miners."

Minigun Clean Overclock: JP-J Kinetic Propulsion Module. This experimental module was originally designed to enhance the stopping power of the minigun’s bullets; however, instead of applying force forwards, it would instead push the user in the opposite direction when fired. DRG being DRG, the module was quickly rebranded as a mobility tool.

Bullet Rocket. Functions similarly to the Machine Gun from Cave Story or the machine gun backpack from Jetpack Joyride; firing the minigun while airborne will propel you in the opposite direction.

New Idea for a Mission type. Ruin Excavation

Ruin Excavations is a mission where you have to search the cave system to find keys to open up a ruin temple. Where inside lies treasures of different minerals, some gold, and most importantly a gem. This gem will be unique to the biome as a sort of representation of the biome which has unique properties that DRG will be looking into as a type of power source.

The caves are set up more as a labyrinth with 6 major caves, The entry point, 2 extra caves, 2 caves that have the keys, and the temple itself. And it will have a bunch of pathways that lead to dead ends. Also how in the major caves, the resources like nitra, gold, secondary objectives, and extra minerals can be found in these parts of the cave and not in the winding pathways. But for in the major caves, they will have ruin sites. They will have ruined structures and buildings long abandoned. But made of a material that can't be destroyed. As for the caves with keys, you will basically need to hack in and wait a while to get key to be extracted, which will be when a wave of enemies start to attack. And after it's done, you have to carry it to the temple. Where you would have to carry and throw it, even having to make pathways to get to the temple easier.

#

(Continued from last post)
This leads to finding both keys and hauling them all the way to the temple. Where once it starts it's opening process, another wave will start. The time to open is longer and the bugs are very aggravated. Even having a small chance to summon one of the three dreadnaught bosses. But once you survive long enough, the doors will open, leading to the treasure.

For the key holders and the temple itself, it would have almost viking like rune stones that depict what would be the story of this civilization. A small peak to the past with it's design. Just like the structures, the rune stones and the temple itself is made of an indestructible material so you can't dig into it.

Also despite the bugs hating these structures, once inside the bugs won't go in. They would crawl around the walls like they do with the drop pod. Just so your team has breathing room.

Once done, call the drop pod with Molly and make your way to wherever the drop pod landed. It will arrive instantly and the team would have to move out like normally.

Idea for new mission: Deep core manufacture. (heavily inspired by cook off from payday 2)

Management has decided to extract resources from Hoxxes’ core and have sent in the Dwarves alongside an Extraction platform to collect and process volatile materials directly on Hoxxes before sending it back to the Space Rig. Be careful, it is extremely unstable and a mishap in its processing can lead to destruction of the platform.

Players start the mission and soon after the platform falls from the space rig. The platform has a pipe extending to the bedrock on the bottom of the map. There are three new resources unique to this mission. They are pulled at random from a list. They are 3d objects, mined, shot from the ceiling, extracted after breaking the shell or collected with a tool like doretta’s batteries.
With the assistance of mission control, dwarves gather the needed resources and set to work while fending off bugs. Mission control feeds the group instructions on which resources to use, but tells different lines to different players.
Mission control may get the resources wrong, however he will eventually correct himself if given the chance. If the crew still use the wrong resources, the platform will explode, while also initiating a "point of no return" countdown that will likely result in a mission failure, since the drop pod will never arrive to extract if it wasn't already there to begin with. Additionally, anyone caught in the blast will lose some health, and may be downed if they have little health left at the time of the explosion.

Once the crew has cooked three containers, they can call down a drop pod, take them to it and escape. The crew can cook an infinite amount of containers, but the drop pod can be called only in a limited time frame (Space rig orbits this point of planet every X amount of time and can’t send drop pod immediately)(lore: extraction is commencing on poles(less distance to reach core) but space rig orbits them infrequently)
After map’s resources will be used up(or after a number of processing cycles), a button will appear on a platform to order supply pods. Three of them will arrive, each with a full set of resources for one cycle. When two of these are used, button will appear

an oc idea for the drak-fire

name: damaged particle stabilizer

desc: the broken stabilizer on this rifle has caused it to have an unpredictable effect with each shot at a general lower damage

effects:
slightly larger battery cap
massively decreased damage output
slightly increased friendly fire damage
slightly increased rof
does -5% damage to targets that already have a status effect inflicted on them
every shot inflicts a random non stackable status effect including armor breaking (excluded effects are cryo and burning)

Active Perk Suggestions:
Often I find myself wishing for more variety in the active perks I choose when heading down into the mine. So here are a handful of suggestions off the top of my head. I'll leave cooldown times to the people who actually know how to balance such things.

Experimental Scanner
ACTIVE: Hold "F" to highlight all enemies in red within X meters for 7 seconds for you and your team. This effect penetrates walls.

Medical Drone
ACTIVE: Once per mission, direct your scanner towards a downed ally to activate a healing drone which will fly to said ally's location and revive them remotely. (This healing drone uses Bosco's model and animations.)

Right Back Atcha!
PASSIVE: Strike incoming projectiles with your melee to send them flying back to sender.
ACTIVE: Hold "X" to reflect half of all incoming damage back towards assailants for X seconds.

Miner's Trance
ACTIVE: Double-click the right mouse button to swing your pickaxe twice as fast for X seconds. During this time, all ore and terrain takes one less strike to break.

Dwarven Warcry
ACTIVE: Hold "V" to release a mighty dwarven war-cry, frightening all enemies within X meters for X seconds.

Last Resort
PASSIVE: While out of ammunition for your primary weapon, receive a bonus to melee attack damage.
ACTIVE: Once per game, hold the resupply key to refill X% of your primary and secondary ammo.

Emergency Pint
PASSIVE: Adds a 6th item to your arsenal, a stein of beer.
ACTIVE: Drink this stein to refill X% of your HP, or hand it to others using the right mouse button. Refills passively.

Casual player's suggestion: Most players like progress and in the later game (when all weapons have been unlocked and all modifications have been bought) overclocks are the only progress. The problem, however, is twofold:

One is that you can only gain a limited amount of overclocks per week. The other is that the overclocks you gain are not necessarily useful to you. Why? Because some casual gamers only play one character class and not 2, 3 or even all four. Consequently, there is nothing more frustrating than playing with friends who then get overclocks in the random 'infused matrix corses' that are not usable for their class. Every time this happens, the likelihood of those players playing the game again decreases.

So my suggestion would be: Please introduce an option to prioritise overclocks for a class, even if you have to bribe the management with credits etc. for it. For long-term players this is all irrelevant, but for casual players (be it due to time constraints or broad gaming interests) who basically like this game, there are few things more annoying than this.

Secondary Weapon Idea: Thunderhead Chain-Hammer
An ancient weapon, hailing from a time before even the oldest guns. Despite its antiquated nature, the Chain-Hammer is still revered for its reliability and flair, while modern enhancements make it all the better for cracking open glyphid carapaces.
This weapon consists of a weighted throwing hammer attached to a motorized winch via a heavy-duty chain. The weapon has two firing modes: tap-firing with this weapon will trigger a short-ranged but wide-angled melee swing, while holding down the fire button will prepare a charged attack. Releasing a charged shot will cause the user to throw the hammer in a long-ranged arc, which deals both high single-target damage as well as a bit of burst area damage upon impact. After impacting an enemy or surface, the winch will begin to retract the hammer, returning it to the user . There is a slight delay between throwing the hammer and its return during which it cannot be used, though the user can switch to using other weapons during this delay, as the hammer returns automatically. Using the melee attack expends one charge on the hammer and using the throw attack expends additional charges.
I’d imagine this weapon fitting in best with the Driller’s kit, as it fits with their machine-heavy aesthetic and their primary weapons (as a means of finishing enemies who have been softened up by the Driller’s primaries).

My suggestion and only hope: for us to get cosmetics for our equipment. For instance I bought the tech rivals pack and to have my engineers turrets look like the tech rivals theme or to have a blood red shield or perhaps a hot pink zipline gun and pink zip cords on gunner would be awesome. having the turrets covered in bug hides and teeth/claws. I feel a 'fourth relic' or 'custom engineered' turrets would be even more impressive looking. imagine what 'tech rivals' drillers drills would look like. It's something that isn't terribly important but in my opinion would make not only the purchasable cosmetics that much better but an expansion of player control in appearance is almost always appreciated. I do understand that this would cause a decent bit more work for the devs because for every skin pack release they would have to code new meshes as well as for every currently existing and new color scheme in the game they would have to code those to be applicable to not only current and new weapons but all pieces of equipment + all alternate skins/meshes.

Negative mission modifier: Jammed Scanners
Due to some geological phenomena Mission Control can't get a proper lock on your position. Dropping down resupply does not put it where you want it. It drops randomly nearby (think hacking pods). Alerts regarding incoming swarm give you only half as much time to prepare. On salvage missions this effect may go away after performing triangulation.

New call in: Extraction pods
For the price of [insert balanced amount] of Nitra you can call in a pod not unlike the hacking or resupply (size-wise), but instead of giving you ammo, you can deposit a set amount of resources into it (probably a few hundred and perhaps a limited amount of large items). You can then launch it back into orbit via a button. Would be very handy on missions without Molly or when the team is split and there's too much to mine and too much Nitra.

Sorting options for the wardrobe.
With more and more headwears getting added to the game, it becomes harder and harder to find a specific one in the unorganised list. Making them sorted by categories (e.g. hair, hat, helmet, seasonal etc.) would make it a lot easier to find the desired headgear. Ability to sort items alphabetically or through a search bar would also be great, though the latter will probably be a lot more janky for console players.

Category split could also be applied to beards and other cosmetic categories sooner or later as their selection will inevitably expand with upcoming seasons.

Below is a quick mockup of how a category split could look like. Clicking on those arrows would hide or unhide a category, to allow hiding of undesired items.

Add rare grenade variants that you can only find and use during missions. Example, a rare chance that when a radioactive exploder spawns upon death and you can scoop the goo out of its corpse and get a radiation grenade. Or, they can just be natural flora/fauna that have grenade-like uses, like grabbing a goo grenade in Fungus Bogs. Once you pick it up you can use it for the rest of the mission until you run out.

Idea for a new season: WRATH OF THE ELVES

Description: Noticing our activities on Hoxxes, and not pleased with our mass slaughter of glyphids and other wild life, A local Elven nature guild has made it their goal to force us out of Hoxxes. How are they doing so you wonder? The elves are releasing planting magical trees that are enhancing and evolving Hoxxes wild life. Glyphids and other beast are entering deadly new forms and threatening DRG's claim on Hoxxes. To top it off, Elves are interfering and summoning deadly nature spirits to deal with any would be miner. So like any threat, it is your goal to root it out.

New Event: Elven Tree: Elven trees can spawn on a map similar to rival data catches. To demolish an elven tree, the player needs to start calling down defoliant pods. Defoliant pods spawn in waves. They land a fair distance from the tree. The player must carry them to the tree, while avoiding anything the elves throw at you. Once the tree is dead, it will release a seed, which can be turned in for scrip, and season progress.

New Mission: Deforestation: The elves have grown a strong Oak in the area. The evolved wildlife from the oak is making all work nearby near impossible for any dwarf to do. So, it is up to you to exterminate it. First, the players must find the oak. Once it is located, the player needs to begin calling down Defoliant Dozers. The player is informed of where they spawn one minute prior to their landing. They need to be reached, and escorted to the oak. Upon arrival, they will detonate weakening the oak. A total of five dozer must reach the Oak to destroy it. If three dozers are destroyed by the elves and their backup the mission will fail. Once destroyed, the oak will drop an elven heart, which then can be given to Molly to finish the mission. All the player has to do then, is evacuate.

This is just a makeshift idea. If you have any suggestions, feel free to dm me.

Not sure if this has ever been reported here or suggested, but I was just in a mission with someone who intentionally held us up on the Escape Pod departure for the entire 5 minute duration. He knowingly and intentionally would not back up into the Exit Zone of the drop pod. Since he was technically, "On the pod," we couldn't shoot him to Down him so we could depart nor could I (as the host) kick him for being disruptive of gameplay. I've attached some screencaps to example the situation.

Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug, a feature, or what have you. However, this issue made me realize how easily someone could do this repeatedly to troll matches so I would like to make the following suggestion. Could we either:
a) Be allowed to kick players who are standing inside the drop-pod or
b) Extend the Drop-Pod's "Safe Zone" when departing to the entire interior so if someone attempts to be a troll like this again, they can't "stay safe" while doing so and must dodge Glyphids (and assumedly their team mate's gunfire). A way you could potentially still have the delay when entering the pod before take off (so people don't get stuck in the door) is maybe have a 3 second count down once someone enters the threshold of the safe zone before tagging them as "ready to depart." Thoughts? Opinions? Information I may be ignorant of?

Downed players within charging areas (e.g., uplinks and black boxes) should count as roughly "half" of a player for the progress meter, not zero.

Currently, getting downed even once in the uplink or fueling portion of a solo salvage mission often seals your fate; in the 5 seconds it takes for bosco to revive you, you've lost 15-20 seconds of the progress bar while ramped up enemy spawns continue to pile up around you, creating a vicious cycle while you're "jeopardizing the mission!"
It would be less frustrating if downed players in the radius kept the progress bar steady instead of decreasing it, at least in solo missions.

Sticky Plasma Bomber
Rapidly launch sticky plasma bombs that stick to terrain, detonating upon contact with a bug or expiring.

holds 6 bombs in a magazine
bombs deal aoe damage in an area (~2m radius)
medium-high damage (~60 damage)
medium fire rate (~2 rof)
bombs are affected by gravity

unique upgrades
plasma induction - sticky plasma bombs accelerate rapidly towards the nearest enemy after a delay
chain reaction - bomb detonation triggers nearby bombs as well, each bomb triggered this way increases the damage of all bombs in the chain

overclocks
plasma floater - bombs are no longer affected by gravity but decelerate while in the air
quicksilver - bombs bounce and roll along the ground
plasma splitters - bombs create mini bombs that land nearby on detonation, explosion radius is greatly decreased
plasma tendrils - bombs no longer explode on contact with enemies, instead sticking to them and damaging them until they expire, will detach and stick to the next enemy when the original host dies
thick containment field - bombs explode only when shot, but have greatly increased damage and radius
coalescence - bombs that land close to each other will merge into a single, more powerful bomb

It would **really **spice up the roleplay aspect of the the game if instead of just having a loading screen before a mission, you could do some activities in the drop pod before you land. The dwarves and weapon upgrades (current ammo upgrade description is 'you had to give up some sandwich storage, but you ammo capacity is increased') are constantly mentioning sandwiches. Maybe you could eat sandwiches during the loading time, where you'd build and bring a sandwich before the mission with varying ingredients you find on Hoxxes. If you have the right combination, you have a chance to get a buff or something upon mission start. You could also do some other actions in the drop pod during loading, like go to sleep, sharpen your pickaxe to give it a temporary damage up, (up to devs) or just have the dwarves passively chat with each other, like boasting and stuff like that. This would also open the opportunity for some new cosmetic options, like maybe some exclusive voice lines or actions are unlocked in the performance pass, from cargo crates, etc. Also, if you are the only person in the drop pod, there could be some special dialogues, and Bosco could keep you company in the drop pod, and play around with you while the mission loads.

I am surprised there isn't an OC for the hurricane that completely disables rocket guidance so rockets can be more powerful. That way we could have something like the doom rocket launcher. You have to predict where the bugs will be. Dunno, seems like a no brainer OC

Has there ever been any discussion about handling what currently happens when you fail to join a game? It forces the whole session to reload, even if you were just sitting in a single player session. If the previous session hasn't been destroyed yet, it'd be a smoother user experience if they can just return straight back to the game server list instead of respawning in their bunk 🙂

This one is very basic, the chance to tame larger creatures, like macteras and praetorians / oppressors
you can only do this at max beast tamer, and you only have a 50% chance to tame a mactera, a 10% chance to tame a praetorian and oppressors are a 5%, I think it's just a cool thing, and if it fails it does reset the cooldown, but only by half, so 2m 50sec.

Hello Ghostship games, like the game its awsome, but I noticed that my victory moves arent account shared, this would be a cool feature maybe. idk maybe somebody already suggested it, but i would like to drink 2 ales after each mission as victory pose with every dwarf, because i dont have an alchohol problem. thank you 🙂

Dialogue Suggestion:
The dwarves should have unique dialogue for the various actions and events they currently comment on. It's always bothered me that they all share the same lines, as it makes them each feel less like unique characters, and more like the same dwarf with different gear.

As for the voices themselves, I do find myself wishing they were more distinct from one another, as I often have difficulty telling the higher ones and lower ones apart in important moments.
Distinct accents would help remedy this problem. Luckily, different types of dwarves have been known to speak with different-sounding accents throughout fantasy. I've heard Scottish, Cockney, German, Russian, and Swedish accented dwarves before.

Hoping reposting from my Reddit's alright.
I was thinking about melee damage and how it all gets to go to driller's arsenal, and crossed it with how gunner doesn't have any plasma weapons and made an idea. Bear with me, I am not an artist so I can only describe through words

The plasma whip! Or Limited Agility (to) Strength Hand (LASH) whip. Could there be a better acronym? Absolutely. The weapon is a line of plasma 'beads' attached to a handle. You might think of Terraria's whips, where every main piece has a bit of 'rope' in-between each other. This could be similarly held with something like thin breach cutter lasers.

The weapon could be charged by holding primary fire, to have increased damage and range. Each attack would use up a battery supply, possibly represented as an ammo count of 100, and power attacks would use extra.

I'd think the given gimmick to the weapon could be pierce or splash damage, or possibly a very close range grapple for ledges you just can't climb over fast enough, though maybe that should be an upgrade overclock.

Speaking of overclocks, I've thought up a few. Firstly, one could remove the charge attack in favor for rapid automatic attacks. Another could increase weak point damage or melee damage for splash damage. The last is a joke idea, but whipping teammates may grant a small boost. Yes that's a nod to tf2.

The devs seemed worried about bulks being just themed reskins, so i decided to make this slightly more interesting than "detonator but the explosions are radioactive"

Radioactive Detonator
As if they couldn't get worse. These Detonators have spent an incredible amount of time in the REZ, absorbing enough rads to equal the output of a nuclear bomb. Resultingly, mutations run wild across their body, spontaneously creating self-aware tumors who want nothing more than to spread their affliction, rolling towards anyone they can find. At the same time, the most heavily mutated areas undergo peculiar regenerative properties, which has become a double edged sword for the nasty thing: The most mutated locations are the most traumatic ones to damage. Despite this, it's still a Detonator, and killing it is only half the battle. Even compared to it's slightly-less grotesque "regular" cousins, it's parting farewell's blast radius is enormous, instantly vaporizing any wall or ceiling for an incredible distance, though luckily the shaped blast keeps the floor minimally scarred. Surviving that, a blastwave will surely knock anyone in the cave back, and the resulting radiation will leave the area considerably hazardous. At least the mushroom cloud's neat to look at.

Attack: Maximum
Defense: High
Speed: Extremely Low

Family: Glyphid
Type: Ground
Attack: Tumor Generation (Area), Nuclear Fire (Area)
Special: Mutually-Assured Destruction (Area), Dig (Area), Weak Point Regeneration
Armor: None
Weakpoint: Bulbs

Tumors are like...really mean exploders that roll around, can't steer real good, and go kaboom when they touch you, showering you with radiation
The weak points have a lower damage multiplier than normal bulks, but will regenerate shortly after being destroyed.
The death explosion will have a longer windup for it's larger radius

The ability to pull up the local map while downed would be a great qol addition. With iron will sometimes you really need to plan where you're going before you use it since those 12 seconds fly by. Being able to check the map before you use it so you know if your a thin wall or small ledge away from potential red sugar, or even a shortcut to a fellow downed dwarf is a game changer. Also could be great for communicating with your team about your surroundings.

Frostbite Exploder
The recent discovery of this creature has led us to lean more towards the thought that exploders are an intended result of evolution, given that they have now adapted to the harsh cold of the Glacial Strata in order both retain maximum blast power while gaining a new chilling edge to their suicidal attacks. While getting hit by the blast of exploders was generally ill-advised in the first place, you certainly won't be moving after catching frostbite from too many of these.

Combat Tip: If the exploder dies in a burning state, the freezing effects of their explosion will not occur!

Combat Tip: When exploding, the exploder leaves behind a small chunk of ice with various sharp icicles pointing out!

Weakness: Fire
Resistance: Cold

Attack: Very High
Defense: Extremely Low
Speed: Extremely High

Family: Glyphid
Type: Ground
Attack: None
Special: Flash-freeze (Area)
Armor: None
Weakpoint: Head

Yes I know it's not very creative, I just really wanted to round them out. 2 radioactive glyphids, 2 cold glyphids. good.

Flame Praetorian
As if the environment of the Molten Core itself isn't hellish enough, the bugs themselves have taken a liking to spitting fire at us. The inner workings of this creature are a fascinating look at just how volatile a creature's innards can get, it's as if lava itself flows through their veins. What you'll be worrying more about, though, is the fire bursting out of their mouths, much like their Dreadnaught elders. Like all Praetorians, they refuse to die silently, and will erupt into a short-lived inferno of flames upon death. As a result of the extreme heat, they have much thinner thoraxes in order to faster disperse heat, although their armor is much stronger to help keep the external elements, well...external.

Resistance: Fear, Stun, Fire

Attack: High
Defense: High
Speed: Low

Family: Glyphid
Type: Ground
Attack: Bite (Melee), Slash (Melee)
Special: Flamethrower (Ranged), Death Inferno (Area)
Armor: Front body and legs (Heavy)
Weakpoint: Back

And fire, too :)

one thing that would be nice would be something like a training room. A area that you can spawn different enemy types at a preferred hazard level. This area would give no xp or loot but you would be able to test yourself or curtain weapon builds that you may want to try out within a real mission. This would help newer players get a feel what higher hazards are like before they enter a real mission and ruin it. This also provides higher skill cap players to number crunch different weapon builds against different types of enemies before entering deep dives or whatever.

Additional Bosco upgrade tier:
Excavation Rockets - Rocket explosions destroy more terrain.
Aggressive AI - Bosco automatically attacks Lootbugs, Fester Fleas, and Gunk Seed Pods.
Delivery Drone - Bosco moves 75% faster while carrying heavy objects.

I find Bosco's later upgrades to be somewhat limiting due to their general lack of utility. These upgrades would help enhance the drone's helpfulness in a few specific ways, while keeping it from being unbalanced by ensuring they're all smaller enhancements.

(Not quite sure how to balance this, so I’d appreciate some feedback.)

Reason: One of my best memories with DRG was when I saw Dorettas sad little head on the ground near the end of a escort mission, and realizing I could pick her up. I said "LEAVE NO DWARF BEHIND!!!", and ran through hell to bring her to the pod, then realizing that this is actually something the dwarves acknowledge, and it was fantastic.

New mission idea: Glyphid DNA extraction. management needs to get more information on the Glyphids and just how they exist in general. the general idea is to drop a Minehead like structure on a Glyphid nest or something. the team then have to go to it and set it up as well as clean the bugs off it then push a button to start the DNA extraction maybe having another thing to do before the extraction like finding Glyphid fossils and putting them in the Minehead. The extraction is like the last stand waiting period on the point extraction mission. no frills. just survive then they launch the data into space and you book it to the pod. any suggestions would be appreciated and if so please ping me in Suggestion-discussion.

I have a suggestion for Season 2 in DRG. It struck me after encountering wall eyes randomly on certain missions. So far they are just there to creep people out. But what if we have biomes infected by wall eyes featuring wall eye infected creatures or new fleshy creatures crawling around. I'm thinking something along the lines of 'The Crimson' from Terraria. Maybe the new mission type would be to set up a bomb at the heart of the infestation and get the hell out of dodge before it blows up. I think that would add a new flavor of horror on Hoxxes for the next big thing.

Okay, so, I've managed to play the game and get the hang of it a lot better, although my Dwarves are only level 20 so I still have a while to go and still have to unlock other aspects of the game, but for the most part I can see what the game offers.
My idea earlier about the PvP aspect and having Orcs in the game I can see now was definitely a dumb idea. Maybe having Orc skins/cosmetics wouldn't be so bad, but the game specifically states its about being a Dwarf. As for the PvP, I could still see it working but it wouldn't exactly be PvP. Hear me out. Each team drops into a cave system that is instanced to that team, so neither can interfere with each other. The main jist of it would be to do the mission in the fastest time possible, with bonus points for doing secondary objectives and farming the extra resources that spawn. Both caves would be mirrored as well so anywhere one team finds something the other finds it as well. It would be a little more of a friendly PvP thing as neither team can do anything against each other, let alone even see each other. Since it's mostly balanced for PvE, I could see it working out like this without needing to really change anything from where it is now, balance wise.

As for my statement earlier about making a DLC or something that adds in new characters, where I originally mentioned the Orcs and PvP aspect would come from, scratch that for the rehash I just did of it.

I've come up with a few other ideas, such as a new Dwarf to cover the role of a Medic as I noticed there isn't any way for the Dwarves to heal aside from Supply Drops and Red Sugar, and the melee perk that I can't remember the name of. I'm working on it on a seperate thing and will eventually post it here, but I want to get a little more in depth with it. Basically, to give a short description, think Baptiste from Overwatch. If the character limit didn't hit, this would be like 3 sentences longer...

#

The traversal tool I am pretty well stuck on is a pair of Exo-boots that work similar to Baptiste, with altered affects based on the chosen final bonus you can unlock. The healing factor wouldn't be extravagant, but enough to at least help players recover after a fight if they can't find any Sugar or Nitra to to call a Supply Drop.

Objects and minerals that fall into hot spring tubes in the Glacial Strata should be held aloft by the air coming out of them so that they can still be picked up.

If they can spit a Dwarf out like that, they can spit the minerals out too.

Assignments that can't be aborted once they're chosen should be changed so that you can abort them, but only before you've completed the first mission. That way, if you select an assignment but then realize you want to do a different one first, you can switch them.

would be nice to have a few minor hud changes. I think players should be able to change the reticle colour, and it would be nice for the gunner to have a bar that corresponds to the overheat for the lead storm, so that you dont have to look away from your cross hair to see if youre gonna over heat

A second support tool.
scout In place of the flare gun, the "firefly", it shoots small drones that follow its target (friend or foe) and light up a small area around the target.
engineer In place of the sentry gun, "shock pylons" you can place down a couple of pylons that create a shock wall (if the pylons are close enough) that only effect enemies.
driller In place of the satchel charge, the "dirt gun" it uses the terrain that you mine with the power drills as ammo and shoot a blast wave of dirt.
gunner In place of the shield, you can request a "combat mule" (mini BET-C) for nitra, it does got a health bar so it can get destroyed.

Is there any plans for ways to spend excessive perk points? I have 90+ points and it's obvious that with more content coming to the game, there will be more ways to earn them but no ways to spend them after unlocking everything.

Since this is a suggestion channel, maybe let us sell them for cash or resources? I dunno, it would be really nice if you could provide an endgame for the perk points.

Thanks.

I just got an idea for a lok 1 oc: alternator. After killing a bug with hip fire, you get a damage bonus to locked shots, and after you get a lock kill, you get a damage bonus to hip shots. I think it being a clean OC would work. Interested to see how that is received

Scout utility: scan beacon. A place able beacon which highlights bugs and resource deposits and fossils, etc in a cave, which deminishes over time, slowly shrinking the scan radius.
A nerf to make this less OP is to make the scout only get one, which when it runs out, the scout can pick it back up and recharge it. This would fit the scout’s “purpose “ because it acts like the flair gun, Showing the cave to dwarves.

Suggestion: Option for centralised minimal weapon elements on the HUD.
Reason: Most of the focus gets poured to the centre of the screen when aiming and firing at things, especially while everything is moving. Having an animated element (like a thin bar or something) that indicates your weapon's heat level or remaining rounds near to or incorporated with the crosshairs would benefit a lot of players. Gotta be optional though in case it's distracting for some.

Remove the inability to join a team during certain parts of a mission. We're not allowed to do it during dread fights, the Caretaker fight, or during the final stretch of missions. If I want to play with a friend and he needs some help during the Caretaker fight, he's just SoL because no one can join. I know it can be used to cheese experience and that's not great, but I think most people just want to join the game to play it, and cutting out options because some people misuse the function is not fun for everyone else.

Change the Shield Battery Booster OC for the Drak25 so that the damage is always applied, but that the user gets a -20 shield penalty instead of having to keep full shields in order to get the damage. This way it still works even in situations like Shield Disruption.

New Mission Type: Colleague Rescue

Mission Control's briefing: Miners, a colleague (npc) from another space rig has gone missing and their team wouldn't stop annoying management about it, so we're sending you in after them. Maybe the dwarf missed the drop pod and we couldn't find him afterwards, I didn't get any details. Regardless, be on your guard for whatever, or whoever tries to stop you. We have a last known location of the lost miner, so maybe start there.

Mission Overview: This mission requires you to rescue an npc from the depths of Hoxxes IV who is either held captive by the prospectors, pinned down by bugs or simply went mad from sniffing liquid morkite fumes. Find the missing dwarf's equipment and the occasional bug carcasses scattered around the caves to find where the dwarf is and if they still breathe. Once the dwarf is found, you have a timer to kill all the nearby enemies (if it's the bugs) or before the dwarf becomes less than flesh (if it's the prospectors). In any case, you will need to bring the dwarf back with you, whether he's alive or dead. If dead, the npc will slow you down as if you were carrying dottie's head or an aquarq.

Bug variant: There will be a timer where the drop pod timer usually is, slowly ticking away from 10 minutes until the swarm around the npc is slain, or the npc is slain.

Prospector variant: The dwarf will be bound to a slab of prospector technology, poking and adding pieces of their technology to his skin. The dwarves will have a health bar to watch out for as they try to figure out how to shut it off. As they do so, the npc's health bar will start as green and it will slowly fill with a red bar if the dwraves fail to figure out how to save him. This prompts a boss fight with the now mechanical dwarf where the only option now is to kill him yourself. The mission still requires you to bring his body back, for research purposes.

Idea: Emotes! we all know how you can press V to rock and stone or ya ain't comin home, but what about the ability to get EMOTES from matrix cores, like the scout having a spiderman emote where he grapples the ceiling and hangs upside down, or the engineer building a turret which backfires, causing a tiny explosion, covering said engineer in black soot.

dense cipher Dec 18, 2021, 12:27 AM

#

Engineer Upgrades Suggestion:
An additional upgrade option for the turret's last "special" modification.

"Set And Forget" System - Turret builds itself autonomously at half the usual speed, and automatically draws ammunition from your reserve. The rate at which your turrets refill is very slow, however, meaning they will still quickly run out during prolonged combat scenarios.

native dagger Dec 18, 2021, 12:34 AM

#

another idea I had in mind is a rival company dwarf / dwarf team miniboss, where when you attack a prospector, there's a 20% chance that a number of dwarves from the rival company that depend on how many dwarfs you have in your squad will appear nearby, and command will tell you that rival dwarfs have entered the area to rescue / protect the prospector. These dwarfs would be decked out in custom rival armor, and handle 1 of 4 of the main class weapons, so the lead storm, deepcore, flamethrower and warthog, all with the rival company look.

Each enemy dwarf has a custom ability:

rival scouts can nyooom across the field with their grappling hook to get closer
rival gunners can throw down shields which all enemy dwarves will go to and take cover, shooting out towards you, the shield will stay up until it takes enough damage.
rival engineers can place turrets and can shoot their custom platform gun that makes a special "trampoline" that the rivals can jump on to get the high ground on you
rival drillers can create tunnels, which enemy rivals can USE to hide for cover and heal with the rival bandages the company provides to them, lucky bastards . . . and can also throw charges, and deal insane upclose damage, but are near defenseless at a distant range, 1 dwarf have 1000 hp each, and is increased by 250 HP per dwarf, so all 4 rivals present ( meaning you have to have a team of 4 dwarfs on your side, if you have friends lol ) have 2000 HP each, ending up a battle of epic proportions.

I can admit, the hp is a bit high, so I'd take recommendations about how much HP they should have.

Cheers. ( so many edits because I had to keep re-reading it for my stupidity in grammar and other crap

Swarm lord
Spawning if the dwarves take too long during a mission or on certain circumstances. This bug can only be described as "virtually immortal" and holds some kind of telepathic control over all other bugs, changing the bugs style of combat drastically from hungry hoards into meticulous killers. While management ensures the bugs are not sentient, they have been reported to speak falteringly, as if they are almost...learning. Bugs under the swarm lords control gain the following benefits.

Fear resistance, bugs have a significantly lower chance of running away.

consume the dead, Bugs have been seen eating their own kind. They tend to pick off the injured or already dead. Rapidly healing after some time.

Meticulous killers, Every bug under the swarm lords control moves smarter. Some examples are moving between cover, fleeing from light sources to hide in the dark, Jumping to attack dwarves normally beyond there reach.

New secondary idea and suggested mods

Whiplash!

a whip with limited range, higher damage the further away a bug is, infinite ammo, slow rate of fire.

tier 1: flail tip(damage) longer whip (+reach)
tier 2: reinforced cord(damage) longer whip(reach) louder crack (+stun chance)

tier 3: Lighter Cord(+fire rate) wrangler(+movement speed on kill) multi tip(33% of damage as aoe)

tier 4: thundercrack(+electricity) nutcracker (+weakpoint damage bonus) firecracker (+fire whip)

tier 5: Rockianda Stones: (press r to unleah a quick flurry of whipcracks. Uses power attack) 'Get over here!' (press r to drag an enemy to you or you to an enemy and immediately power attack) Rockfall: (press r for one giant whipcrack with a huge fear aoe. Uses power attack)

i feel like this could add the long asked for 'melee combat' without needing to introduce an entire melee system because a whip is pretty similar to a gun.

Yee haw voiceline is mandatory. An overclock idea i have for it is being able to whip teammates to give them minor buffs

Engineer: Expanding on the 'sonic cannon idea I had a while ago, I've decided to implement a radiation gun! The Radiator would be like a significantly more powerful version of the IRL radiation non-lethal weapon. Essentially cooking enemies from within!
Gameplay wise it'd be a constant stream weapon, expanding on the dev laser weapon. It'd do significant damage to single targets, with the ability to cause enemies to explode and spread status effects to other enemies (radiation+heat).
Driller: Driller's secondary's are fairly different, so I decided to come up with something completely out there, easier said than done, mind. The idea would be the Autohammer! A heavy secondary melee weapon. It'd have a fuel meter due to being rocket propelled. Standard attacks are rocket-propelled swings, with a charged attack being a short range barrage from the thruster, which uses a lot of fuel and can overheat the weapon. Think a mix of a mace, jackhammer, and the super-sledge from fallout.
Gunner: Gunner has some pretty straightfoward secondaries for long and medium range, (or close with lead-spray), so something more close range to fit with the Hurricane's long range potential would be fitting. Introducing the 'Wristsnapper' break-action shotgun-pistol. A single-shot shotgun that fires over-sized buckshot for dealing with big targets up-close!

#

Scout: Scout's secondaries are all very close or medium-close range, having something with a bit more range would fit scouts long-range single-target playstyle. Introducing yet another piece of equipment turned into a weapon! "The Impaler" fires what used to be prospecting sight spikes at extreme velocity straight through enemies, armour, and even teammates! Essentially a heavy pneumatic crossbow that fires solid spikes through enemies, charging up to (t5 effect) targets. (electrify, lasso, explode). Lassoing an enemy would cause the spike to stick into the ground, 'lassoing' all enemies it passes through and preventing them from moving a set distance from the point it hits terrain. Stronger enemies would break the lasso significantly faster than say grunts.

Mission Idea for halloween next year: ghostbusters

Clear an entire cave of unknown horrors (idk maybe about 10 but they are spread throughout the map and have high health but are not very agressive so they dont all gang up on you). You can only damage the horrors when drunk ( at least 26% intoxication). The higher the intoxication the more damage you deal. Slight damage bonus increase to horrors if above 60%. If you reach 100% intox you pass out and need to be revived.

Lloyd is sent down with you in portable version of the abyss bar (similar to point extraction platform but instead of minehead its the abyss bar) and pours a random drink (all drinks, even boosts and craft beers) (so avoid blackout stout and only drink leaf lovers when necessary)(wormhole would just teleport you a short distance in the cave) every 10 seconds with a storage of 4. If there is not enough space for a new drink the oldest drink is dumped away so lloyd can pour a new one.

Maybe a intox/blood alcohol content meter above your health bar

Engineer secondary weapon idea: Laser cannon
cant come up with a name. Mk III Beam cannon/ Mk III charge phaser

Click and hold to continuously fire laser. long range. Laser charges and becomes thicker when fired continuously. Damage progressively increases as laser is fired until a limit is reached. Movement speed is reduced while firing. Slowly heats up target and will set fire to them. Aiming a fully charged laser at an enemy will increase their heat status effect faster than a non charged laser thus setting them on fire quicker. ammo is battery% that will be consumed faster the more powerful the laser is. does not overheat.

Upgrades:
T1
More batteries - expanded ammo bag, can carry more batteries
Capacitor - more starting damage for laser

T2
Larger batteries - Increases clip size (battery capacity)
Better handling - Decreases movement speed penalty

T3
Upgraded catalyst - reduces charge up time for laser
compact battery - reduces reload speed
improved material - increases max charge limit

T4
High intensity laser - armor breaking increased
Terrain cracker - gives laser the ability to break terrain but needs to be fired at the same spot for a while (similar to fuel canister harvesting oil shale but slower). Charged laser destroys terrain faster than non-charged
Concentrated beam - increases starting damage

T5
Gamma beam - replaces heat/fire status effect with radiation and laser turns green (formerly red) reduces total ammo capacity but radiation status effect is instant on the area fired on
Electron beam - Does not replace heat/fire effect. Applies electrocution to enemies, slowing them down. Increases battery consumption
Efficient battery algorithm - decreases battery consumption

Continuation
Overclocks:

Unstable overclock - Safeguard removal
Increases starter damage, charge limit, heat effect. Decreases charge time. Greatly increased battery consumption. Will damage user if fired continuously for too long.

Balanced overlock - Alternative power source
If shield is full, laser charges up faster. Increased battery consumption.

Clean overclock - Prototype battery
Increased battery capacity and total ammo capacity

Clean overclock - Lightweight frame
Decreased movement penalty

Hiveguard Sentinels should be implemented as a normal enemy. They occupy a pleasant 'mid-heavy' spot between Praetorians and normal Grunts that could add more variation and fun to normal combat, and they could spawn in packs.

So I'm new to the game, and a bit of an idiot when it comes to things. It took me a few games to realize glowy blue bug = our friend Steeve.

Now that I've played for a while longer, and have been using Steeve a bit myself, I've noticed other people can be a bit of an idiot sometimes too and waste mags on him.

I propose an ineffective yet humorous solution! Give Steeve a hat. Just like... a little bug hardhat for good little Steevey boy. Protect his tiny bug head and make him "Not like the other bugs."

When you all teased the newest set of primaries there were additional guns that did not make the cut (crossbow, mining laser). I am assuming with how far along those weapons appeared that you wouldn't completely trash them, but I could be wrong. If the mining laser does end up seeing the light of day would it be possible to make it function like a spartan laser (halo series, first appears in halo 3) or give it an OC that allows it to do so. It would be an energy weapon which would open its "reload" key to allowing it to charge a large shot much like Driller's Ice Spear OC.

The Engineer's LOK Rifle should lock on to the 4 top points on the Caretaker, and the 'Eye' spots, rather than the middle. I know every other enemy you can arc the bullets around and have fun with it and such, but since the Caretaker is huge I feel like the LOK should be able to lock onto those spots as an exception to help make the LOK more useful in the fight - given that it's a kinda special thing with Rival Incursion and whatnot I feel like this is the way to go for targeting! engiapproves

A perk that increases your mineral pickup radius. Helps nab all the minerals from popping a lootbug.

astral mason Dec 19, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

Beastmaster perk should be updated with the ability to tame lootbugs. Tamed lootbugs can be picked up and carried like eggs, error cubes, and etc.

A tamed lootbug will follow it's master to the best of it's slow slow lootbug abilities, and will slurp up any minerals on the way towards or around their master.

The tamed lootbug will grow bigger and bigger from eating minerals until it's "full". At any point after being tamed, a lootbug can be picked up and turned in for all of the minerals picked up off of the ground since taming it.

Even after plenty of hours I have problems in telling, which of the 2 engineer turret is running low on ammo, came up with 3 solutions:
-let us color code turrets so that first one on the list is for example green and second blue
-add red flashing light on top of a turret if it goes under 20% ammo
-add a bar of ammo above the turret when pressing control

Either one of these is gonna matter a lot, listed them in order from least probable to break the UI

I know you've said in the past that it won't happen, but I really want to see upgrades and overclocks changing the visuals of a gun. I don't know exactly why it is said that it's unlikely, but seeing something like Plasma Burster Missiles actually change the Hurricane missiles to visually have plasma tech on them, or the Six Shooter and Elephant Rounds upgrades changing the Bulldog's cylinder size, or even simple details such as an extra wire and attached box from where a magazine release would be for Explosive Reload/Embedded Detonators type overclocks, would really change the game's immersion to be even better.

true, but i think it would be simpler to do the original lines, plus people would just hear rock and stone and feel a surge of energy from the teammate anyways since rock and stone is basically vague gesture in a positive direction.

-BRT7 Burst Fire Gun:

also, a 'Lead Storm' Powered Minigun overclock wherein it has a severely lowered rate of fire and a minorly lowered damage per shot but on the positive side has no overheat penalty, and can just indefinitely fire even when at full heat (though probably at the cost of the weapon's long-term usability or something but hey who cares about that other than management)

Suggestion: Picnic/Lunchbreak Cosmetics

.
Suggestion: Barrels accompany you for missions.
Reason: We spent ages getting the achievement for putting all the space-rig's barrels into the launch pod. It'd be pretty silly (and I like silly) if they were in the pod at the beginning and the end of the next mission, both for moral support and as a hindrance.

Maybe those in-mission barrels could be picked up and launched at enemies for decidedly underwhelming damage—but completing a mission by only doing damage with them could be another barrel-related achievement.

I like barrels.

New biome: Deathly Grotto

In the southern tip of radioactive exclusion zone and fungus bogs lies the deathly grotto. This area has very thick, foggy air and smells of rotting flesh. It's caverns are like a maze, there never seems to be a straight shot to the objective.

Many creatures on hoxxes wander into this region only to get lost and die of starvation, the biome is littered with skeletons both small and large.

some creatures have managed to survive the harsh conditions and are much tougher than others. You may find bringing extra ammo is to your benefit.

There have been reports of strange sounds inside the caverns and other oddities such as hearing nearby glyphids or seeing shadows only to find there is nothing there...perhaps these caves are haunted?

Mission/Biome idea: You guys ever think that glyphids sometimes get back onto the space rig, trucks, etc. with all the minerals? Oopsie, someone needs to go clean out the surprise infestation!

Game mode idea:

What would be fun is a survivalist game mode where management is like “your fucked see ya” and you have to survive on your own. You would have a modified mule that sloooooowly makes ammo and that process can be sped up with nitra. It’s non stop bugs and the only objective is to survive (which would be impossible) you would get rewards from the levels depending on how long you stayed alive.

Mission Type suggestion: Fireteam Cleanup

Premise; DRG has detected massive biosignatures recently, most notably Glyphids, surrounding key points of Hoxxes VI. This may be related to their "mating season" which consists of a complete army of Glyphids coming together to serve a temporary Queen, a Glyphid species mutated when gestating in Dreadnought Cocoons for long enough. Management only asks for one thing: Burn the nest to ashes. Your priorities are to locate the Queen, prepare to fight a complete onslaught of bugs, and burn the nest and the neighboring Egg Burrows to the ground, quite literally. No other enemy types except event types will spawn, forbidding Mactera Plague, Cave Leech Cluster, and Haunted Cave from appearing.

Main Objectives:
1. Destroy Glyphid Egg Burrows (2 to 4 depending on cave length)
Glyphid Egg Burrows are structures formed near a Queen's habitat. These hatch Glyphid Larvae, Swarmers, and are surrounded by Grunts, Wardens, and Praetorians. Uncover the burrows and you may choose to destroy all the eggs yourself and alert the entire cavern to your location, or use some of your Nitra to call in a Napalm bomb and get the hell out of dodge, because it incinerates anything and everything nearby.
2. Locate the Queen
The Glyphid Queen tucks herself away in a secluded area; You may come across a titanic pulsating structure with seemingly no means of access. Once all of the Egg Burrows have been wiped out, a crevace opens up somewhere on the flesh-ridden chamber and gives your team access to the Inner Hive, where you must be precisely careful not to alert the enemies inside. The final chamber itself is absolutely massive. A Dreadnought guards the resting Queen, which is also their designated mate, and must be taken out. It is entirely your choice to tackle both at once, or lure out the Dreadnought. It has a 70% chance to be a Hiveguard, 29% chance to be a Standard, and on an extremely rare occurence, a 1% chance to be the Twins.
3. Kill the Queen
This is where the fun begins. Shoot the Queen if you haven't already to begin the fight. It is a stationary Glyphid that has inherited a lot of the many abilities of its own biological subordinates, meaning it can barf out acidic saliva, force spikes out of the ground, force Dwarves back with a sonic blast, and even summon Sentinels. Glyhpids of all kinds will pour in, and certain types such as Oppressors and Wardens will attempt to support the Queen while the rest chase down the attackers. The body of the behemoth has three weakpoints that change exposure periodically, forcing switchups. On occasion, the Queen will screech with eardrum piercing strength, which will summon an extremely powerful Glyphid, which can either be a Bulk Detonator, Dreadnought Hiveguard, or several Elites if Elite Warning is active.
4. Call in the Napalm Warhead -> Call in the Drop Pod
For the sake of not rendering Hoxxes uninhabitable nor unprofitable, management mandates the NW-FLAME or Flamenado Bomb to be used only in circumstances as this. This bomb will absolutely char the entire cave system and begins countdown as soon as the Drop Pod lands, having a 4:30 timer. Get to the pod ASAP before it goes off, or you will be found in the Medbay looking like a vastly overdone sausage.

I thought about a mission type where Stealth was an option, but also allow a purely combat-focused mission type other than Elimination, and be a spiritual successor to Industrial Sabotage.

Xynarch Charge-Sucker
Previously only seen infesting our poor BET-C models, these parasites have become worryingly common in certain regions as leftover tech has proliferated in the caves. While not directly dangerous without a host machine, they can still be a detriment, hosting an astonishing propensity for sucking the juice straight out of smaller unshielded tech, even at considerable range. Management has already informed us that the cost of upgrading anything other than weaponry is not acceptable, so be sure to look out for the creeps if you find yourself unable to use some of your equipment.

Combat Tip: While near a Xynarch, the laser pointer, terrain scanner, flashlight, and related HUD elements will be nonfunctional!

Combat Tip: Xynarch's love electricity, don't shoot them with it!

Resistance: Electric

Attack: None
Defense: Low
Speed: None

Family: Other
Type: Stationary
Attack: None
Special: Energy Magnet (Area)
Armor: None
Weakpoint: None

They don't have too much health, and they're not super common, but they proliferate in some biomes over others (Previously suggested biomes from Finch: Boneyard & Failed Venture would be where Xynarch's are most often found). They end up being closer to an environmental hazard than an enemy.

If paired with a fully realized "dwarf mimic" concept, this would work very well in tandem, blocking off the teammate wallhacks while a "teammate" is closing in on you

#

Glyphid Keeper
Pale as the grave, this particular Glyphid spends almost all of it's time in the dark aftermath of battlefields, finishing any remaining half-dead creatures with it's psychotropic venom, dragging corpses to the boneyard, and consuming them there to make room for more in the future. Fearing nothing but light, Keeper's tend to roam in packs separate from typical swarms, and will not back down when coming across live prey. Understand now, miners, that letting one of these harbingers of death near you very rarely has any outcome where you survive, as their venom works fast and is known to incapacitate workers from fear alone, not to mention how vividly they recall the resulting hallucination's attacks to be...

Combat Tip: Keeper's sensitive skin is vulnerable to bright artificial light, slowing them down if they get too close to flares!

Combat Tip: Along with poisonous damage over time, being bit by a Keeper causes auditory and visual hallucinations!

Resistance: Fear, Stun, Cold
Weakness: Fire

Attack: Average
Defense: Average
Speed: High

Family: Glyphid
Type: Ground
Attack: Bite (Melee)
Special: None
Armor: Body and Legs (Light)
Weakpoint: Head

Keepers are akin to grunts, but chalky white with venom dripping from their fangs.
Hallucinations caused by keepers take the role of various bugs, projectiles, and sounds, drawing from the afflicted's memory. Only a keen eye and sharp mind can tell the difference. Poison resistance affects duration

To follow up on my Fireteam Cleanup concept, is my Glyphid Queen entry;

Glyhpid Queen
Technically a Dreadnought by genetics, functionally it is nothing like its pre-evolutions, actually being an entire genetic conglomeration of almost every Glyhpid genome, including other Dreadnoughts and even Bulk Detonators. It is the final stage of the Glyhpid life, only achieved when the magnetic field of Hoxxes is affected by its parent star, indicating mating season within the regions. Every fifth Cocoon spawns with a Queen, and any of those that spawn with a Dreadnought begin mating immediately. These big berthas don't live for very long but the amount of eggs they can produce is akin to that of a gargantuan mosquito; Perfect conditions can replenish thousands of Glyphids that were killed over several missions that same day.

Combat Tip: Do not approach a Queen without any semblance of a plan. Their primary attacks can do anything to you, and they surround themselves with Wardens and Oppressors.

Combat Tip: Attacks from the air are primo, just be careful you don't get sniped by any spitters.

Resistances: Radiation, Stun, Fire, Electric (0.7x)
Weaknesses: Impact, Explosive (1.5x)

Strength: Varies
Defense: Maximum
Speed: None

Family: Glyhpid
Type: Ground
Attacks: Varies
Special: Suicide Summon/Elite Summon
Armor: Only on its weakpoints. (Damage to body is 0.5x)
Weakpoint: Three points, one on each side and another above its abdomen that swap exposure at random. (3x damage)

Glyphid Phantom
Reported only by delirious workers through comms shortly before their complete radio silence, these creatures seem to emerge from small patches of choking mist found haphazardly around the Boneyards. Darker than the deepest caves, only offset by their pure white pinprick eyes and sharp teeth, a shadowy mist coalesces around Phantoms, almost seeming to eat light closest to it. While it would normally be recommended that our hard-working and esteemed miners ignore the various visions and delusions of the caves, this shadow will not ignore you, cutting deeper than the real thing, and colder than the grave...

Attack: Above average
Defense: Low
Speed: Average

Combat Tip: Phantoms drown out all light in a short distance around them!

Combat Tip: Phantom attacks apply minor cold damage!

Resistance: Fear, Stun, Cold
Weakness: Fire

Family: Glyphid?
Type: Ground
Attack: Bite (melee), Slash (melee)
Special: Light Absorption (Area)
Armor: None
Weakpoint: None

Phantoms only spawn from occasional clouds of dark smoke strewn across the boneyard biome's caves. Trying to enter this dark miasma will slowly choke a dwarf, and firing at it is the prime method of incurring Phantom attacks, though they occasionally poke out of their own accord, especially when Keepers are near.

#

Dalvuid Larvae
Most akin to giant fuzzy caterpillars, the larval form of the Dalvuid reacts rather defensively in the presence of light in order to compensate for it's slow pace, forming a hardened shell around itself until the atmosphere darkens yet again. Despite this, they still prose a threat in the dark too, as even the graveyards of Hoxxes are a constant war for food among metaphorical vultures. A dwarf caught alone in the dark will be seized and rapidly pulled away to be devoured by the larvae's many razor-sharp sets of teeth, and many dwarves before you have already learned that gunfire is not as suitable a deterrent as light...

Combat Tip: When fleeing with it's prey, a larvae will focus far more on avoiding light than avoiding dwarves!

Attack: High
Defense: High
Speed: Low

Family: Dalvuid
Type: Ground
Attack: Consume (Melee)
Special: Grab (Melee)
Armor: Whole body when exposed to light (Heavy)
Weakspot: Mouth

Have to balance keeping it in the dark to avoid dealing with it's armor but having light to try herding it around if it has someone

#

Dalvuid Moth
Having reached the bat-like adult stage of it's lifecycle, a Dalvuid Moth needs little energy to survive, and is mostly docile. The catch is their eyes are so extremely vulnerable to light that almost anything short of pitch black causes excruciating pain, which they prefer to retaliate to in kind. While not very dangerous or bulky, Moths are far more agile than any Mactera, and enjoy destroying artificial sources of light, most commonly flares. Aside from violence, a reproducible method of ensuring they stay out of your beard is to approach them in the dark as a friendly gesture, though Management heavily disapproves and would like to once again remind workers that giant wild bugs are not pets.

Combat Tip: If no flares are nearby, try to approach a Moth and pet it to prevent it from interfering in the future!

Combat Tip: Moths hate sharing the air almost as much as they hate flares! Almost as much!

Attack: Medium
Defense: Low
Speed: Maximum

Family: Dalvuid
Type: Air
Attack: Swipe (Melee)
Special: Flare Destruction (Melee)
Armor: None
Weakspot: None

Dalvuid Moths resemble a cross between a black bat and a fuzzy white moth. They are audible from far away, using echolocation to 'see,' making it easier to know when to head forward in the dark to find them. They usually stay close to the ground unless aggravated, making it easier to find and befriend them.

Befriended moths are not considered tamed beasts (ie, Steeves), and will simply avoid flares and hacked patrol bots (likely with some grumbling), while trying to attack enemy flying bugs/robots

Adding in a rare spawn event (like 1 or 2 percent) that can occur in any biome, wherein somewhere in the cave generation, an abandoned makeshift camp can be found by the players.

With the camp containing a stock pile of resources, a discard tent and bedroll, and a smattering of empty mugs.
(And maybe with a dead bug who has a pickaxe embedded in it's head)

The insinuation of the event being that the legendary Karl lives, and is surviving on Hoxxes all on his own.

Suggestions to the server list:

Filter improvements

Filters being actually used for looking for specific server tags and not just server/host names (i assume that's how it works right now).
Example: Looking for a certain mission type, region, role lock being On or Off or even modifiers or mutations being applied

Yes, you can click on the "Mission" field at the top of the list to sort missions and then manually look at mission preview (the little field with server name showing the location) but that's not enough. What if i don't want to scroll through all of the missions and I only need a specific type or two? This new battlepass system specifically points out the lack of such functionality.

If you'll add proper filters, an explanation would help. Example - source games where game lists all available filters or shows the autocomplete options when you type something in the filter field.

Show ping in the server list. I can't really believe that's not a thing yet and the game still shows the Close/Medium/Far instead. I have games with people displayed as "Medium" with ping over 150 as well as people from "Far" having a ping of around 120. That doesn't make any sense to me.

I have an idea for a gun that I intend to ||incompetently|| develop as a GMOD mod when I'm done with the mod I'm currently making. Backstory aside though-

If I could send pictures I'd make a mock-up, but basically it's a sci-fi looking pistol of sorts. The entire concept of the gun was based around novelty reload animations where you discard the gun and keep the clip, so the grip & trigger mechanism are able to be detached from the barrel, and the grip houses a powerful crystal that basically has unlimited energy. Unfortunately, it's so volatile that the barrel of the weapon is destroyed after so many shots are fired.

Now, skipping to the actual mechanical part of this.
TL;DR: I have an idea for a plasma pistol that is reloaded by discarding the destroyed barrel. The weapon has 8 shots in a clip. The first 7 shots function like normal pistol shots, but the final shot is more powerful and functions similarly to a shotgun or front facing blast (to represent the barrel exploding, kind of like with a misfire IRL).

It is a novel idea, certainly. However, also a fun one... I hope anyway.

Edit: Basic visual concept

Let us click on player portraits when joining and see their loadout like we would our own. Would go a long way towards synergizing with randoms.

finite magnet Please make the overheat and sheild battery booster back to what it used to be, ...

i mean, that overheating used to be able to make your shield recharge instantly once the overheat ends with shield battery booster for the drak. or so ive heard
but it doesnt do that anymore, which is a shame

can I please suggest that when the host does a Disband Team at the end of the mission (which happens on 99% of the PUGs that I play) that the software handle it with a big more grace than an error 'Connection Disconnected, try to reconnect?" especially since the reconnect would not work anyway, since the team was disbanded

GigaLootbug
Rare event: (only for a limited time)

A very small chance to encounter a giga-lootbug. This (Boss) is about 10X the size of a normal lootbug and will chase after you. (Slowley)

Once you defeat it it either explodes into an abundance of resources, or like 20 little lootbugs, idk...

It would most likely just have a melee attack of some sort, and can also burrow to you...
...no one can escape giga-lootbug

(Please leave suggestions for improvement, I just though if this super quickley).

Improvement suggestion for binding waypoint (not calllout) point creation:

This is a VERY obscure mechanic that is VERY useful:
Laser Pointer(Ctrl or Hold X) + E: places a waypoint that you can see on the map. This is HUGE when you're a driller who is going into a wall and you want to come back out at a certain point.

I never even knew this existed until I saw a tips and tricks video.

The issue/fix: this feature doesn't even exist within the key assignments list. It should exist in the list. This could be a one key entry, just like all other key assignments, as it can be assumed that the Laser Pointer must be out to perform this operation. As an extension of this, please let us set "right click" to this key assignment, such that you can pull out your Laser Pointer and right click to set this waypoint.

This is a huge quality of life improvement, and I think all miners should know about it, and be able to use it how they wish.

An armor set that matches the Waster weapon skins. Currently all other weapon skins have an armor skin equivalent. Nothing really matches with the Waster set right now.

A simple fix

The victory moves Beer Toss and Double Drink Drop use Leaf Lovers as the beer model and that should not be. I recommend using Glyphid Slammers for the model as it's a real beer and it could possibly have the regular and Supporter versions appear.

You know how occasionally, a broken supply pod will just explode upon being repaired? I thought that when this happens, it should have the chance to spit out some debris that vaguely looks like the remains of a barrel.

Can you guys for the love of god, have bosco prioritize killing the cave leech that grabbed and downed you before reviving you. Just had a mission where the leech dropped me 5 feet below it and instantly grabbed my when bosco revived me

A T5 CRSPR Mod that makes the Sticky Flames patches either larger or more frequent. It could work with specialized Sticky Fuel builds, and could be weaved into other builds allowing more interesting variety and options! drillchamp flamethrower 🔥

can we get a "kill assist" stat on the round summary screen?

as a cryo driller it shure would be nice to know how much i'm helping (if at all lol).

and in general it would be nice to get an assist for any enemy that you partially damage but don't kill.

Please add a option in the settings to turn off auto switch when double tapping the reload- interaction button. I cannot explain the frustration that this setting its not already available and how extremely inconvenient the setting it and how little use it presents to me with any character but maybe scout.

Lootbug and gold lootbug caps 🧢 cosmetics

cosmic current Dec 22, 2021, 12:03 AM

I have no idea if anybody has mentioned this yet, but the season pass stuff feels like there was way too many levels, and too many of the levels and tree rewards were credits and minerals.

At the current rate of gaining experience, I think about half as many levels would have been okay. That said, it might depend on how everything is handled going forward for getting the content out for people who missed things.
The problem with seasonal things is that a lot of people feel pressured to get everything and play to the point of getting burnt out (especially if dates aren't clearly outlined for when it will be over).

Instead of lootbug caps, why not more types of loot bugs? Like one as big as a Praetorian but it spawns less often. So instead of 5 small ones you get 1 or 2 big ones. Maybe with a bit of armor to shoot off. You could also have loot bugs mutated with big chunks of precious minerals. Greenish purple loot bugs filled with Croppa and gold, for example.

I have seen some complaints about cores being too difficult to acquire, so maybe promotions should include a class-specific core/blank core if all of the class-specific stuff has been acquired?

There should be some voicelines if shooting an immune enemy, such as Dreads, I'm kinda surprised how many new players (and myself, for a time) I've seen that didn't know the bar going grey means immunity and I think this may help

rework the shield battery booster OC for the drak to have it be a scaling bonus based on how much shield you have rather than being an all or nothing deal with full shields. currently, especially on haz 5, there's too many sources of random chip damage from enemies, environment, and even stray friendly fire if youre playing online to make the OC practical

I wish Perk Points could be used for something else after you've unlocked and upgraded all of your perks. Maybe be able to spend them on gold, crafting materials, or blank Matrix Cores.

Sludge Pump rework: Primary fire has 4 fragments on impact by default
Secondary fire fragments have a little more velocity so they spread out further.

Suggestion; Twitch Integration

Player can link their twitch to their Miner Profile;

Upon going live and playing Deep Rock. Each of the bugs have the name of an active twitch user in chat and whatever the Twitch Chatter type, the bug will have a small text bubble above it

Example;

Streamer trigger one of the boss; Instead of Hive Guard its "IrishInvasion" [subtext; Hiveguard] and the Streamer [only the streamer] Can see the Hiveguard relaying whatever IrishInvasion is saying on twitch

or

A giant swarm of swamers all spamming "GONNA GET THEM TOES" coming at you.

You can adjust how big, how transparent, how long the text box stay up, etc.
Fun way to interact and give the game some more twitch following

Cosmetic rewards for reaching milestones with total perk points, like the battle pass except each reward is a one-time thing.
This way people can stop asking for something to do with excess perk points.

More pickaxe upgrades: Wide Swing Channel your dwarven rage into your pickaxe and destory bugs who dares to get in your way with one great swing

Similiar to power attack but instead it does a wide swing which has large splash damage but 1/3 power attack damage [can be useful in dealing with swarmer and weakened grunts] Sharper Edge With extra sharp edge, it can penetrate rock and mineral easier. Your welcome!

It took one less swing to mine rocks or other mineral that took more than one to break Slammer With all your dwarven strength, you slam the ground so hard it scares these bugs!

Deals small damage around you and scares most bugs around you in medium area and a cause a small crater in the center of the attack [Can be a crowd control but not too useful for big bugs] Extra Big Pick We improved your pickaxe that it can carve a larger area, this can be helpful for you by alot!
