It would be fun to add in rare reload/inspect animation. Like 1/100,000 for the double barrel shotgun to reload like the doom reload or the GL to reload like an old fashion musket with the Dwarf making comments like;
"Whoa. Old School!"
"If it works it ain't stupid!"

Add a voice selection, body type selection, and face selection option to character customization. This could potentially include more conventionally feminine forms.

Posting support tool ideas as I type them out part 1
Scout grapple "ball and chain"
The scout has a gun which launches a heavy ball attached back to the scout with a short rope
When shot it will pull the rope tight and pull the scout along its path
After firing again the scout can begin to reel in the ball back in. The speed it takes to reel the ball in acts as the weapons cooldown, allowing a faster reload if the scout can "catch" the ball
It would use some kind of limited supply of explosives to actually launch the ball (basically, not free)
Possible modifications include:
A spike that allows the ball to stick into surfaces, thus letting the scout hang off the short rope
More spikes, but this time they hurt and stun enemies
Reel speed, launch force, rope length changes
Multiple smaller balls and chains

New T5 mod for the subata: Icepiercer
- The subata can now score weakpoint hits against frozen enemies.
This is to make the subata feel a more viable option when using it with the cryo cannon as it would make the two combo together quite well. The subata has low damage and it is dependent on scaling multipliers to be effective as with weakpoint and volatile. This mod would reward skilled use of the subata. It would also give a legitimate use case for the chain hit oc outside of shenanigans.

Option to replace Bosco's rockets with something else - a shield generator drop, a location-targeted satchel charge, or other trade-ins for the rockets.

Bosco Upgrade: A.G.U-Aerial Grinder Unit
Bosco can now be given carriable materials (enor pearls, jadiz, bittergem)
and they will be broken down into smaller pieces before being put into your inventory, removing the need to log around a heavy chunk of materials.
The grinder takes up space however and removes one rocket from the amount carried.
For amounts of materials (bittergem) that cannot be carried in one trip, Bosco will funnel them to you when you have room.

new active perk idea
its like the tame bug perk but instead of a bug you call down a betsy who sticks around for a while before going away in some capacity you would have 1 or 2 charges of it and it just be awesome and also makes you feel like DRG gives their miners good protection equipment

More positive sound clips for Molly and Bosco, or more complaining sound clips for Doretta - so that Doretta isn't the only one getting spared of dwarfy complaints and showered in praise.

Buff flares on solo: with only one dwarf, lighting up and keeping and area lit is incredibly difficult when solo (And bosco's lamp isn't all that useful). Boosting either flare recharge or flare strength in solo mode would help make it easier to see without going scout, who will still have the same advantage to the flare gun that he has in a 4 man squad: wide reaching, long duration light

Good Morning, Miners 👋
Today i feel refreshed and my head is clean.
Let's get to the topic,shall we?
When playing,i got a smile on my face,when Fallen Dwarf Yells something around -"I doesn't feel my beard,HELP!!"..so,add more of those? Like,when dwarf is burns-"Whatcha' where ya fucking split your fiery shit!You almost got my beard on fire!"
Or,when inside of gas of Pretorian or Oppressors-"My beautiful beard! it stinks disgusting!"
tl;dr-Add More Reactions of Dwarfes encroachment on their chic beards

Should do a Medieval Fantasy Season, go to the dwarven roots. Scout could be the Rouge/Ranger with his Dual Pistols being Dagger Guns, and his Garand as a Laser Crossbow. Gunner could be Wizard with his Rockets being a barrel shooting Magic Missiles. Digger Barbarian, have his flames be alchemists fire, and Engy as an Articifer, with Magi Tech and flint lock weapons.

A bit controversial but I shall do it anyways.
New gamemode: Recover
"Rather large change of pace from deep underground but this is rather important. One of our other orbital stations has stopped responding days ago and more life forms are detected on the ship than normal. You have been selected for this job due to excessive combat experience. While there may be nothing to mine you may be able to scavenge some goodies from the lost station to return to remaining functional ones. Upon confirmation the station is lost and you are extracted with important data, tech, and resources, we will launch a missile to destroy it to avoid further infestation."
Edit: currently rethinking this suggestion. Will have to get back to you guys.

Secondary mode for Bosco (like a different gun)
Supporter Bosco:
-No Rockets
-No Damage Upgrades/less damage
+Faster movement
+More Revives
+Can carry Dwarves like a Cave Angel
+Can give a Short shield (like Gunner) to objectives when pinged e.g.: Doretta, uplink/fuel cells, hackc.
For a visual differentiation he would have small wings on his side with propellers inside - to suggerate that he can lift heavier things and a place for your dwarf to grab (like cave angel)
that movement upgrade would in general be a welcome sight though. I played a bit with the Bosco+ Mod and I love it simply for Bosco being fairly quick.
cobalt haven
had a different suggestion maybe oposite of the abyss bar there is a food bar as well allowing the dwarves to eat and drink of course the food bar would give buffs akin to more health, movement speed, carrying capacity while the beer stays with maybe doing more damage gathering more materials and all that and who knows what silly stuff one can make a curry that makes your dwarf breathe fire or gassy who knows

Have some ideas for alternative moving abilities:
Scout: jetpack
Driller: launchable drill. A gun launches automatic drill which fly straight line and dig everything on its path.
Gunner: jumppad or antigravity field
Engineer: Actually, its the hardest one, I think to give him like vertical walls, but don't really know, will it be effective.

A few ideas for possible new Dreadnought types:
Dreadnought Gorilla: A dreadnought with more advanced frontal legs (the legs that are normally the biggest on dreadnoughts). These more advanced legs end in 5 digits, making them look like Gorilla arms. The dreadnought will use these to pick up pieces of the terrain (or even glyphid grunts) to throw at the players. It can also reach further with these advanced arm-like appendages, allowing it to swipe around itself with them.
Dreadnought Webmaster: A dreadnought that has traits of a webspitter. On its abdomen, it would have a pipe that points upwards, acting like a web mortar. It will spread webs around the battlefield which stick to terrain. Touching these webs slows the dwarves down and are flammable, but it does not affect the Webmaster (at least the slowdown is, the webmaster can still be damaged by webs set aflame). It can also shoot a string of web upwards and use it to get to the ceiling quicker, using it as an escape tool if it needs to take a step back and barrage the dwarves with webs, before going back in to attack them directly

Hover Boots as passive perk:

imagine if mission control commented on us obtaining the new secondary weapons
When reacting to scout's crossbow: "Here it is, your license for your brand new crossbow! Keeping up the old tradition. Make sure to take care of all those arrows, and as usual, no firing in the space rig!"
Gunner's coilgun: "Congratulations on your new weapon! R&D really outdid themselves with this one. I'm not sure how they got the recoil under control, but i'm no scientist. Enjoy it!"
Driller's microwave: "R&D finally got that weapon you asked for in working order. Keep it hush hush though, we don't want the galactic federation to know the safety hazards involved. I'm sure you can understand."
Engi's beam: "Congratulations on the new equipement! I hope it will prove useful. But don't toy with it, it could easily burn away your beard... or more..."

Optimization suggestion: Frozen Praetorians that are shotgunned in the butt or otherwise are shattered by multiple projectiles will generate a massive amount of particle effects - which then cause major slow-down even on a high-end PC for a few seconds.

Hello Miners!
And no, this is not engineer weapon you guys are looking for but, Hopefully dev would react to this
This is Gallison, we have noticed that your dwarfs need some firearms that can do some butt kicking, on enemies and competitors a like! So we at Gallision, would like to submit a weapon to the DRG management for a review, if it's approved, you will get to use one of our most powerful hybrid rifle in the market! You can switch between slug and shotgun a like! Taking enemies from far away and close up with full auto capability!
Just manage your ammo, this gun may kicks butts but it eats ammo faster than you can drink
What do you guys think of my idea? I am very excited to hear ;D

OC suggestion for the Driller's Subata:
An overclock that drastically increases its damage at the cost of drastically reducing its ammo and increasing its recoil.
This would effectively make the Subata act similarly to the Bulldog revolver, and make it effective at killing things at long range in one or two shots before they can move (like fester flees). And the Driller would FINALLY have an effective long range weapon.

Overclock (Balanced): Radioactive Gunpowder
For: Jury Rigged Boomstick
The shockwave inflicts Radiation DoT to the enemies in front.
Every time you fire, the radiation cloud lingers and does damage to everyone around them.

Dousing the powder in toxic waste gave it a noxious radioactive blast. It reduces velocity which in turn makes the damage less.

Imagine a blending machine in the Abyss Bar where you can take 2 beers and mix em up. (Excluding Buff Beers and Leaf Lovers)
After the process is done, the beer in the machine is poured into a cup that is seen in a victory move, drank then thrown at something or dropped on the ground. The fee for using the machine is 30 credits - 50.
LLoyd will Beep and shake his head at you if you try to add a buff beer or a leaf lovers special into the mix of a beer already. Even Mission Control will be disugusted by your actions.

For a small suggestion, to make promotions feel like it give you something, how about class specific victory moves? Once you upgrade, you can have a victory move unlocked that could tie into specifics of a class. Either using their equipment or weapons involved as well. Just an idea to give some purpose for promotions.

Victory pose where theres a fester flea flying around the dwarf's head. The dwarf then swats at the flea, causing it to fall to the ground and then stomps on it saying something like "Gotcha!!" or "You thought you could escape me!!" Or, second thought, he just grabs and squishes the flea mid air and says the previous things.
Victory pose where one of those little purple cave vines that follow you around reaches down from the top of the screen and taps your dwarf on the shoulder a couple times before retreating back up. The dwarf then looks around at the other dwarves to see who did it.

The Abyss Bar needs a Dwarf Grill to go with it. Provide special 1 time mission bonuses in tandem with the beer when diving at the cost of an exotic type of glyphid requirement/need.

Unstable OC for LOK-1 smart rifle: Sentry Guidance
-Sentries will prioritize targets within the LOK-1's targeting view. Limited by the LOK-1's current threshold angle and range.
-Sentries will deal 25% more damage (Maybe more maybe less? Not sure) to prioritized targets.
-Sentries can target enemies outside of their range if enemy is prioritized.
-If using defender system, this effect will only be active when target is within sentries' scanning angle. If using hawkeye system, sentries will prioritize manually highlighted targets first followed by the LOK-1's targets. If target is blocked from direct line of sight from sentry, sentry behaves as normal.
-Reduced total ammo capacity.
-Slightly reduced lock on time.
- -4 max lock on targets.

make the bean refractor more like the gluon gun from half life. it is already like 90% of the way there
- constant usage, with heating mechanic
- high damage
- low ammo, (100secs like in hl per say)
- slows movement on use / has kickback
Or, make it act like the tau cannon, which it looks even more like
- semi auto, no ammo/reloading/heat mechanics
- damage on par with the m1k
- kickback like special powder but toned down
- charge up that scales damage and kickback, holding it down for too long downs you
- reflects off of crystals, would make it OP in crystal caverns and glacial strata

I think it would be really helpful to have advanced Dreadnought health bars to give more info to the player.
For the twins, the health difference between them would be highlighted so it is better communicated to the team which one they should be focusing.
And finally, for the Hiveguard and the standard Dreadnought, an indication of the maximum damage that can be dealt before regeneration (a footnote, maybe even a timer for the window of vulnerability before it automatically regenerates because the limit was not reached).
I have no clue if this is able to be done via modding, but seeing dwarves in floaties gives me hope that this anything is possible, lol.
If you have any questions feel free to ask! R&S!

Escape: Dozens of disconnected mini tunnels, chambers, and rooms. Start at one end, goal is to get to the drop ship on the other end. Rooms will posses and array of enemies, from dread eggs, spitters, leach hoards, big-small bugs, etc. And to add to the nightmare, continuously spawning low-level bugs and creepy crawlers will be spawning to keep you, eh, motivated. Additionally, should the drop ship's existence (icon on screen) prove to be to easy, it can be removed and instead the players have to find another way to contact HQ, either via a broken mule, or one of those boxes, at which point a drop ship can be called in. AND IF YOU'RE FEELING EXTRA ADVENTUROUS, start the players from scratch. No specific location of drop ship (broken and somewhere in the map), they then have to call in a resupply and a refuel to be able to take off. And as a added boost of pain, every disturbed tunnel/chamber/room will add more, tougher enemies to the never ending onslaught.
Another thing, depending on game possibilities, would be nice to see a player increase in coop games (could be specific game mode only), with bigger, massive maps (the room sizes).

New Biome: Monstrous Crypt. What happens to all the exoskeletons of all the glyphids you killed? Well they need to go somewhere and this the place. I believe that glyphids act similarly to ants and ant colony’s have a “cemetery” section for all the waste and dead the glyphids would leave their waste in some unused caves and that’s the idea of the biome.
New hazards for the cave Dung Piles that would release poison, Fragile Ribcages that could fall, Sharp Bone Shards that would hurt to walk on them, and etc.
New Fauna: Scavenger Glyphids that wear bones (extra armor), giant maggots that dig through the carrion, Amoeba like creatures that consume dwarves and glyphids without remorse, Bloated Flys almost to big to fly, fungus/mold beds and other horrid things.
That’s the basic concept I don’t know if it is a good idea or not I just thought it would be interesting to see.

Disintegrate damage could use a better kill animation. It is a bit sad the way that bugs just slump, with no audio effect or anything. The DRAK especially feels odd since half the bugs you kill die normally, heads blowing up with death SFX, and the other half give no feedback at random. Makes the chaos of the bouncy overclock a bit hard to read at times since the game in inconsistent about conveying to you that you've killed bugs.

An overclock for the Shard Diffractor;
+Beam ramps damage up over time, to maybe 2.5x base, at a rate of ~+0.5x damage every second or so of firing
+Slower overheat, to encourage shooting for longer (~8 seconds before overheat?)
-Beam Starts at a lower damage, maybe 0.25x base
-Assuming the scorched terrain the beam leaves behind does damage, less of that damage
This would make the gun better against tougher enemies at the cost of ammo efficiency against smaller ones.
While my vision is for the gun's damage ramping to be independent of the gun's overheat, it would probably be easier to implement if the scaling was directly proportional to how close to overheating the gun is.

Something i put on Reddit a couple hours ago: mission beer stuff! The base idea was giving the hypothetical 4th throwable slot to a beer that temporarily buffs you, but i made a few better ones after posting that:
-the beer buff as an active perk & not a """"throwable""""
-b i g b u r p p e r k
-drunknade (poison thingy, maybe a new effect)
Another cool idea comes from a reddit post i mined up today & didn't save, it had a thirst warning that works kinda like low O2, but if the bar goes down instead of quickly dying you rehydrate with a random beer (except the daily beers)

Suggestion: Alcoholic Berserker (Active Perk, 1/mission)
Active: Hold reload on weapon with a full magazine, to the point where the taunt animation would've played twice. Once finished, play the sound of the dwarf drinking and force the dwarf into a heavily intoxicated state, nearly 99%. All damage the dwarf deals in this time is multiplied by 3x and the dwarf takes 75% less damage. After 5-8 seconds of this effect, the dwarf gets downed as if they blacked out.
Passive: The minimum health regen is increased by 50% (Example: On Haz 5, after some time of your health being at 1, it'll go up to 14. With this, it'll go up to 21)

Similar to a previous mentioned suggestion, I think a full auto turret would be a good idea. Specifically in the case of Gemini vs Mk2 I believe after some research that the Mk2 should be full auto to give it a boost. It would make sense since its supposed to be a better version than the base model and it would also bring it closer to the effectively double damage that Gemini gives. @ me if you have any criticisms, id love to hear.

An idea coined around by my friends: Interactable celebrations.
If one person has Lootbug Lover and another has Pickaxe Throw, the one with Pickaxe Throw should hit the Lootbug, causing it to explode miraculously.
If one has Swarmer Kick, and another has Pickaxe Throw, have them aim for the swarmer in mid-air.
Add even newer celebrations, such as a collabrative High-Five that changes depending on how many dwarves use it like if so:
1 - High five yourself with the other hand.
2 - High five the other dwarf.
3 - High five the 2 other dwarves in a triangle.
4 - High five all dwarves either in a chain, with one walking down it, or all huddle up in the center and high five.
Other ideas could include:
A Rock - Sheetmetal - Crystal game between the nearest dwarf and you, with a random victor and a possible "Can we do best 2 out of 3?"
An Arm Wrestling game with any amount of dwarves, with random victors and phrases for losing.
A stacking exercise, where the dwarves pull a Cheerleader pyramid based on the amount participating.
A simple punch to the nearest Dwarves' shoulder, where the receiving dwarf punches a lot harder in return.
Juggling, with a roller.
Catch, with a random Glyphid corpse.
A group trampoline, tossing Doretta's head up (no matter if Escort Duty or not)
Or any other ideas that would be cool to have a team celebrate together with.

How are y'all?I think and i hope,that your day has Begun very good.Oh,totally forgot.Today i wanna talk to you.After playing drg for i while,i was getting..a lotta fun, especially,when playing with my friends.And,sometimes,we talked about new biomes.A lot of ideas, especially for a drunken head, come up, extremely. And then he expressed the idea that Hoxxes is a fucking planet,and it's large as fuck.I'll be very happy about New Biome.And I want to suggest... Sulfur Pools.This name speaks for itself. The whole biome is a huge expanse filled with stones of yellow and green colors, creating a kind of "Pools" from sulfuric acid. The beetles of this place will also have Yellow shells, as well as each attack of them will impose an effect that deals damage over time, but they pay less health, as well as reduced speed. Ahem .. this is not all that I wanted, but, most likely, no one will like the idea of this biome.. but still, if you like it, I will be glad.Rock and Stone,Brother's.

Greetings! A friendly biologist/paleontologist/gamer here. I have a few suggestions for some new enemies.
First: "Cave Lions."
These would be based off of the real-life Ant Lions (which, incidentally, provided the inspiration for the Sarlak Pit in Star Wars). These enemies would lurk in pits in the caves, and when anything living (glyphid grunts, dwarves, etc.) falls into the pit, they get grabbed and attacked.
This would add a new, unique environmental hazard to the caves that would also present an opportunity: why not herd glyphids into a Cave Lion pit?
Second: "Hallucinaria Mushrooms."
These are mushrooms based off of real, hallucinogenic mushrooms that, when broken, release a temporary cloud of poison gas that, if encountered, inflicts the "drunk" debuff on dwarves for up to a few seconds depending on how long they're exposed to it. For the lols!
Third: "Glyphid Brawler."
This is an enemy based off of the real-life Pseudoscorpion. It would be similar to a glyphid grunt, but it would have two large, scorpion-like arms with claws on the end that allow it to attack from a distance. This would keep it out of the range of the charged pickaxe attack.
As a bonus, put a weak point at the base of each arm. When shot, the arm falls off, rendering it unable to attack at a distance and making it need to come closer to attack. (Similar to how the Goo Bomber's green sacks can be shot off.)

If you like these ideas, please give them an upvote! I'd be flattered.

What about a crossover with the up and coming Warhammer 40K Darktide that Fat Shark is pushing out? Both Darktide and DRG are sci-fi fantasy PvE games. It could be cool to see weapon skins in DRG inspired by weapons from the 40K universe and visa versa, maybe even getting fun easter eggs like an accidentally intercepted communication transmission.

Glyphid Brute
Low health but high armour glyphid about the size of a normal grunt maybe slightly bigger. Would be completely covered in medium armour but the body underneath is extremely weak. Charges at dwarves and flings them like a bull and is stunned or slower after the charge for 2 seconds. Can tunnel in the ground to reach its target also.

High Tension Feed Mechanism
Unstable Overclock for the Engineer’s Warthog
_“Got to be careful where you place your fingers with this overclock. Powerful springs have been added to the firing and feed mechanism allowing you to hold the trigger to tense the springs for an extra powerful lead laden volley. Pellet and firing speed cuts had to be made to make sure the thing doesn’t explode in your hands.” _
Benefits:
- Allows the engineer to hold the trigger to store up to 3 shells to be fired in a short burst
- More damage dealt with each shot stored
Negatives: - Less ammo and pellet count per shell
- Slightly lower firing speed
- Maybe increasing inaccuracy with each shot fired in the burst

Cave Leach targeting not just dwarves, but also any enemy that comes in range that are the size of Grunts and smaller. Would make sense for it to indiscriminately attack anything that could be potential food for it.

Glyphid Striker
Similar to the spitters but launches pheromone balls that splash on impact. Dwarves stricken with the awful stuff have their vision blurred and they are slowed. Any grunts nearby will gain a speed boost and rush toward the afflicted dwarf. Killing the striker by puncturing the weakpoint organ on its sides has a pheromone grenade like effect on nearby bugs close to the death.

Follow up to this Anomaly(?) suggestion of mine, instead as a definite Hazard…
“The usual swarms have been scared away by the larger bugs here…”
DREADED OPPRESSION
- Slightly higher chance for Praetorians and Oppressors to spawn upon map generation.
- Swarms are less common, and have more time between each other.
- A significantly increased chance of Praetorian Swarms.
- A noticeably higher chance of Dreadnoughts to replace Swarms.
- +40% more XP (A very high risk Hazard that is guaranteed to absorb more Nitra than usual)
Reasons: Themed swarms are seldom seen. I’ve seen more Grunts painting the walls normally than I have heard Mission Control exclaim “Grunts incoming!” An interesting spin that I can see being made with these Themed Swarms would be giving them their own Mutators that will make them more common.
Especially the very, very rarely seen Random Dreadnought spawns, although these could also be separated into two. I bunched them together to stick to a “Bigger bugs” kind of theme.

Armor Colors based off the Beer Mugs & Flavors for all classes. My personal colors picks would be--

- Glyhid Slammer (Both Normal and Supporter Edition colors)
- Blackreach Blonde ((Starman Jingle) Real dwarfs wear Pink)
- Wormhole Special (Love the clear glass fixture color to be portraited on armor color)
balmy ermine
Im sure this has been suggested, but some kind of glyphid Charger: it moves very slowly, taking a long time to turn and position itself, but then it can charge extremely fast, breaking through rocks and sending dwarves flying. I imagine it would be between a pratoreon and an oppressor in terms of health and armor.
And of course, a matching achievement named "matador" or "OLE!" For jumping over one while charging.

Global Weapon Usage Percentage
A Global Stat-Track of what Weapons/Armor, as well as their Mods Overclocks; are currently being used by the player-base. I'm really curious what we are all using. Do people really prefer Hurricane over Thunderhead? Is the Subata the least used weapon of DRG? The numbers won't lie. Maybe weapons, mods, and overclocks that are rarely being used can then get much needed buffs and TLC? ||It also might show what Karl is picking up from fallen dwarfs if he's still alive down there.||

Upgradable Space Rig
There should be rooms that are unfinished that you can complete via upgrades that you can buy with enough credits and minerals (these would be quite expensive and make a nice late game thing to grind for). These upgrades can include but not limited to:
-Functional Break room
-Shooting Range
-Spaceball Room
-Game Room
-Brewery
-Pet Room (for Steeves and Lootbugs)
Joining a multiplayer game in the Space Rig would only have the upgrades of the host meaning that if you have a fully upgraded Space Rig and join another Dwarf's game that has no upgrades whatsoever then that's what it will appear as.
keen igloo
A toggle to completely disable controller input.
Use case: Currently, a Steam Controller (probably any controller) that is remapped using the Steam Controller Configurator to keyboard and mouse inputs (e.g. for a custom flick stick config) does not work consistently in menus, because the game is separately listening and intercepting the raw controller inputs before they're remapped by steam.
Can provide examples as needed, though this may also be considered a bug imo.

Subata 120 OC ideas:
The weapon lacks damage and usecases right now imo while all other weapons have their use so i came up with a few ideas to buff it a bit.
Stable:
Poison rounds: The enemy hit takes 15% more damage from all sources (mini bosses and bosses excluded) (3 second duration)
Balanced:
Pheromone Rounds: The enemy hit by it gets 10 seconds attacked by other enemies but wont attack back but still chases after you
+Pheromone rounds
-80 Ammo
-5 magazine size
Cryo Rounds: When hit enemies build up cold until they freeze (3 rounds for a normal grunt as example) still weaker than cryo cannon but makes the weapon more suited if you need that bit extra freezing power for that bulk detonator you have to freeze
+Cryo rounds
-5 damage
-0.7 seconds more reload time
Unbalanced:
Acid rounds: Hit enemies take massive damage over time (50 per second for 10 seconds) but ammo is reduced by a lot
- Acid rounds
-75% ammo
-6 magazine size
-8 damage
Splinter rounds:
Shots become explosive to suit drillers Aoe focused kit.
- Aoe Rounds 3m +10 Aoe damage
-10 Impact Damage
-1.2s Longer relaod time
-100% weakpoint damage
-50% damage to all mactera like enemies

Exploders can be headshot mid detonation to prevent the explosion so long as it is still technically alive, but can't be defused via bullet to the skull when they are at 0 hp and doing their death explosion preventing expert dwarves from defusing the bug because a teammate shot at the exploders ass before you could blast the damn thing's cranium. **Can that be changed so I can headshot an exploder during their death explosion to defuse it, please? **

It would be nice when placing pipelines, if the mouse button (or whatever is bound to place pipeline) is held down, it would place it at the first opportunity it can.
For example, you're trying to place it on a finicky slope and you notice that for a very brief moment there was a place-able spot but it's tough to find that exact angle to look at to find the placeable spot, you can just hold down the place button and move the camera over the general area and the pipeline will just get placed at the first moment it is able to.

The entire grenades been changed, and now it lets out a nasty noise while it flies, scaring away any of those little buggers you might miss. The boys also added some sort of sonic-rebound factor, but unfortunately all this fancy tech meant a lot less bang for a lot more buck. Just be sure to bring ear-plugs for your fellow miners.”
- Scares nearby enemies whilst in flight (Probably anything smaller than a Praetorian)
- Bounces and releases a AoE stun up to two times, exploding on the third
- Significantly less damage

Cave Feeder
_“Cave Feeders are the nastiest monstrosities our mining teams have ever encountered in the caves of Hoxxes. Its a giant mess of grease and flesh suspended from the ceiling with a grand appetite for anything unlucky enough to travel beneath it. Watch out for its grabbers as they do not easily give up their prey once they are caught. Do try to eliminate them though as they are the only creatures to produce the extremely rare and shiny Crusc pearls.” _
Its basically the mother of all cave leeches and is a massive one that acts as a miniboss. Imagine a giant leech but with more tentacles that can grab dwarves. Each of the tentacles has a soft base that connects to the main mass that can be shot to disconnect the tentacle with anything caught inside it. The only other way to damage it besides shooting the soft bases would be 2-3 eyes scattered across the mass. Disconnected tentacles drop to the floor and try to attack anything nearby before bleeding out or being shot. The cave feeder also drips acid pools on the ground that could act as obstacles. The reward for killing it would be a valuable pearl that would be worth a good amount when deposited.

Today I came up with really funny idea about something new that would be nice to have in our game, hope it wasn't suggested before.
I suggest making a new gamemode that will be more for fun than for anything else(no assignments will oblige you to go there).
The GM is called 'Raid' and the essence of it is to do through endless caves filled with lots of bugs while collecting morkite, fighting dreds and etc.
It's much more look like a rogue-like game than ordinary DRG.
You start with ALL STOCK DEFAULT equipment of your class, halfed ammo for everything and no grenades. Even no power pickaxe, LOL. Then, your first step is to collect your first quota of morkite/eggs or what you'll create for this GM. While you collect, you also search for lost equipment. Yea, there LE isn't just a helmet. Every quota will give your party some gear for every dwarf. There is where the fun begins. The lost gear you find will have absolutely random upgrades, oveclocks and skins.(The ridiculous fire fatboy included). Also, the deeper you go, the more bugs you'll find in swarms and the better guns too. I suggest making 6 and 7-slot guns at 'late-game' steps because just for a hilarious pay of 400+ nitra(800/1200/1600 and 2000 for 2/3/4/5-th respectively) you can call and 'oldschool' resupply pod with you own guns(for all the team, you'll call the setup number 1 guns and grenades(not gimmicks or pickaxes), they're with 100% ammo but all unressuplieble). Ordinary resupplies work weird there. You can only pick up 50% of ammo on gun you're holding now + 50% for er gimmicks. While you can add upgrades for your pickaxe and gimmicks freely, you can't move any of weapon ones, including overclocks.
The dividing part of each stage difficulty should be fighting the boss. Either Caretaker, Dred or what you'll come up with. Killing the boss will give you good loot(guns with full upgrades and yellow or red overclocks but with 0% ammo) so, I think, there is the place where the RNG isn't acceptable.
Killing the boss moves your difficulty counter by 0.33/0.5/1 forward(depends on what 'diff' you've chosen before playing).
And then, the final thing. Calling the Drop pod back will be able only after completing a quota(you'll need to choose if you want to call it or continue your Rambo becoming or even you'll be able to take an unlimited time-out while what you won't be able to do anything in game but you'll be able to leave your PC for some time). I think that returning bonus shouldn't be more than 20% cuz the GM will be really hard to survive if you make it as what I wanted to play.

Brew Buds / Chug Sprouts (indecisive on name)
Mug-shaped plants as big as the dwarves themselves, foaming at its open end and giving off an alluring aroma. These are all-natural beer vats that just need a little more oomf to get things started.
You can sacrifice hops you’ve collected mid-mission (Malt Stars, Starch Nuts, and Yeast Cones) in order to obtain a finished brew you and your fellow dwarves can lap up from the plant itself. The resulting brew depends on how much you've put into the plant, the more you put into the plant itself, the more likely you are to get a more favorable beer. Put just a few ingredients in, and you'll get something thats only worth a single barley bulb, so stock up on hops!
The resulting brew will provide up to 4 mugfulls of a semi-random buff beer from the Today's Special selection, as well as a totally random effect from a craftable beer (Burning Love, Seasoned Moonrider, etc.). The beer itself has an Epic potency level regardless, so be mindful when trying to consume the brew. (The buff portion of the beer doesn't stack with itself, leave some for others!)
Once empty, or someone on your team decides there's no time for drinking, the plant can be released from the ground with a pickaxe and then deposited, providing a good chunk of credits and XP. It has R&D rather curious, so you're being rewarded for providing samples, as if a cold one on the job wasn't enough.
These are very uncommon to spawn, about a 6% chance or less, but they will often be the result of extra hops generated in the current cave, though they may be harder to find than usual.

Maybe allow for additional uses (like an extra 1, 2) of normally single use active perks like Field Medic or Heightened Senses in Haz 4 and 5 missions? Or add a beer that allows for more than one activation of them in a mission, it could also lessen the cooldown of perks like Beast Master as well and allow for two dashes in a row, or two uses of the hover boots before cooldown starts.

Customizable flags for our dwarves would be very cool! But there would be a template to follow that way no... Unpleasant flags are created.

It would be nice to have assignment progression save itself when changing to other assignment. Playing with friends shouldn't be bothersome. Every single player is at different progression stage in game, and being able to swap them on the go, to match with friends and randoms alike would not only make it more enjoyable experience, but would incentivize players to stay together after mission (playing with randoms). Pushing this idea further, you could make assignments based on mission type and not specific mission, for example if you have point extraction as your assignment, any point extraction will do to push your assignment forward. Another nice addition to that system would be if you unified promotion assignment between all classes. Let's say me and my friend play together all the time. That means we will reach 25 on our respective dwarves around same time. Having assignments unified would mean both me and him can play the same missions together and do 4 of them to promote instead of 8 (12 with 3 players and 16 with 4). It could also work with unlocking new weapons. Since you get to 10th, 15th and 20th level around same time, unlocking new weapons for different classes at same time would make a huge difference. I suggest this system because I've spent 8 hours the other day playing with 2 buddies of mine, and I felt like I didn't actually do any progress in assignment department, because we had to split our progress.

Honestly, saw someone else talking about this kinda thing (albeit mistakenly), buuuut
Oppressors should be able to Charge instead of their “Tantrum” attack.
While their Tantrum works okay-ish for countering bunkering tactics, this attack is very narrow compared to Praetorian Vomit “”””physics”””” and instead leaves the Oppressor more open to attacks otherwise, whether it’s a Gunner wailing on them with their Minigun, or a Driller using the Cryo Cannon on them.
Instead, I propose giving the Oppressor a Charge attack (triggered when the Oppressor is at a certain distance, or is getting CC’d (specifically Cold status, Goo Puddles, but also maybe IFGs, Sticky Flames, Radiation and/or Neurotoxin?))
It takes the fight to the Dwarves and demands their attention, making them (more of) a Higher Value Target, alongside their already beefy melee damage. It could serve the same purpose of knocking the Dwarves around in open spaces or within Bunkers, but the sudden burst of movement/possible risk could make these things more intimidating and challenging to take down, even for Cryo users.
The addition of a drawback for a missed Charge could be optional (Stunned for 1.5 seconds when hitting a wall?), but I personally don’t think it’s needed. It is still normally a slow-moving foe, but a new attack such as this could be useful for possibly countering Cryo Bunkers, as it was it’s original purpose (before Cryo).

…Could also make the Oppressor highly resistant to Frozen (Such as Q’ronar Shellbacks), or heat up during certain attacks.
And, while the Oppressor needs a buff and the Praetorian needs a small tweak (Vomit attack hits you even if the particles themselves are nowhere near you, infuriating especially on lower health or higher Hazards)…
I wonder how their Ranged attack hitboxes (Vomit/Tantrum) would feel if they’re swapped. I’d much prefer ghosting through an attack, mimicking a “close call,” rather than getting downed because of a ghost attack. Meanwhile the Tantrum attack of the Oppressor is…pitiful, and very rare to die to, while the Oppressor itself is very shootable.

i've seen this idea 1 or 2 times around here, and i think it's cool, sulphur lakes, geysers all around, and maybe a special mission type where the dwarves are dropped into a sulphur sea, in a submarine, basically like a drilldozer mission but all you have to do it is constantly protect it, ammo refills would come at the same price in pods inside the submarine, dwarves would have to repair it internally, and maybe even grab a safety suit and go outside to fix something else all togheter, maybe special turrets on the submarine that dwarves can use (lasers, miniguns, etc...)
this idea would require alot of rebalancing and stuff to make some classes useful (like the scout, how is he gonna use his flares in that environment?)
now, for enemies, could be anything, beetles that are acid proof, taking less damage from driller's acid, maybe special glyphid types (like the frozen ones from the glacial strata?)

stable haven
- Add a new special mod slot for everything
- Add new mods that give extremely minor stats & can only be placed in the new slot
- Make specific traits for mods. The following are examples.
- "Namehere" +0-3 damage +0-2 projectile
- "Namehere" -0-6% recoil +0-2% firerate
- "Namehere" +0-5 health +0-5 shield
ect
- New mods are rng based & the one with the highest stats for that name overwrites the lower stat one as to not complicate things.
- When the perfect mod is found for that type its no longer in the loot pool for those mods. (edit)
- Possibly block the slot behind dwarf promotion gold 1+ for balance reasons. (edit)
This would give people who found everything more to look for. They need the perfect mod for everrrry thing xD
Should the suggestion above be added it could open the possibility of a "daily" quest for 3 attempts to unlock a better mod giving more quests to do each week as well. Whether the quest rewards be randomized or class specific each week or even change classes each day who can say.

Have mission control give the dwarves a hint at the start of a mission that there's optional objectives (machine event, rival events, backpack, cargo crate, minibosses) in the mission.

DRAK-25's Plasma Splash needs a buff
The DRAK's Tier 4 Plasma Splash upgrade could use a buff. People seem to be using overcharged PCF almost exclusively, which is fair; PCF is strong enough that it feels great to use. The other tier 4 upgrades are great conceptually, but a bit lackluster in practice. I was pretty excited about plasma splash when I first saw it, but it kind of sucks. It's alright with impact deflection, but it's a bit weak, and it isn't affected by any damage-boosting overclocks.
Plasma splash in this weird place where it doesn't reach what I expect it to. Unless I'm supposed to spray circles into a crowd and shoot very very precisely between enemies, it just isn't functional right now. It's particularly bad with flying enemies. I ought to be able to hit more than one extra mactera if I'm giving up my weakpoint damage. Something like a 1.2m or 1.4m AOE radius might be large enough for the thing to actually feel powerful.
The area damage is always 5 per shot, no matter how much damage an overclock is giving your gun. This can feel silly -- let's use Overtuned Particle Accelerator as an example: +8 direct damage nearly doubles the DRAK's DPS. With this OC, plasma splash accounts for just under a third of the damage. Why not just make plasma splash a 50% (or more) damage to area damage conversion? This might make people actually consider plasma splash over PCF, and it could make the dream of a swarm clearing scout primary a reality.
Also: One way or another, Thermal Exhaust Feedback (+heat, +fire damage at high gun heat) should work with plasma splash. Currently, the bonus damage is not factored into the AOE whatsoever, which feels strange.
TL;DR:
- Plasma Splash's AOE radius should be increased slightly
- Plasma Splash should be changed from a flat value change to something like a 50% (or higher) damage to area damage conversion, much like incendiary compound
- TEF should benefit Plasma Splash's AOE in some way.

Hazard Idea: no nitra (working name)
- no nitra spawns in missions
- team is given 160 nitra to start (2 resupplies)
- Swarms are entirely disabled/extremely infrequent, regardless of hazard level
- natural enemy spawns are increased a bit to balance out
This makes the mission exploration focused and requires tight resource management
Problems; solo or few players is easy given each resupply is 4 pips of half ammo making it unlikely they'll run out. Perhaps nitra scales with ammount of players instead? (1 resupply per player, perhaps?)

yea so the liquid morkite mission definitely shouldn't end and then start an infinite wave of bugs. If you complete the mission before doing an event, you will have to fight that event with a constant stream of bugs. It is a huge hassle. Going to do the events first from now on but feel like this is a bit of an oversight. Trigger a wave but it shouldn't be infinite.

add a new level of upgrades for equipment like the engineers sentry guns (yes this is another suggestion for engi to have more turrets, if you dont like it, cope seethe and mald)
so we get a sixth level of upgrades for stuff like the engineers sentry guns. this sixth upgrade row would have highly significant upgrades, for example the engineers sentries: there would be four or three upgrades and they would all change the turrets. first one would make the turret fully automatic, so we no longer wait for the turret to kill THAT ONE GRUNT that just survived and is walking menacingly towards us about to one shot our one health dwarf. Second upgrade would turn it into a shotgun, so it would no longer fire several shots in a burst, it would fire one shot at a time but they would be shotgun rounds. Third upgrade would be a significant change, and would turn it into a sniper with high damage and long range, but slower targeting speed. Last upgrade would make it into a turret mk3 which would fire plasma shots and have a small damage, range, accuracy and a large ammo buff, but you wouldnt be able to refill it since it uses a battery.
Fully automatic turret would be fully automatic and let you put more ammo in the turret so it doesnt run out fast. Shotgun turret would give us a bit less ammo in the turret and in reserve but it would fire shotgun shells that have like 10 pellets per shell or something, and would have a faster turn rate and lower range. Sniper turret would be a decent amount less ammo in the turret and in reserve, but it would get a large damage and very large range boost, but also aim slower. This might make engi a bit more useful in solo because the turrets are great, no argument there, but sometimes theres just certain caves that need a different turret to be a lot more easily survivable, and this way we can get that without adding like turret overclocks. As for other equipment idk what it would get, u can come up with that in ur own suggestion. rock n stone

New bug idea: Brain-leech-bug-thing-that-is-very-icky Bug (name not final)
-It would** latch onto a dwarf** by grabbing onto their back and attaching to their head, and it would be completely unnoticeable besides watching it directly grab onto you. Maybe have it be noticed if you have the heightened awareness perk?
-Bug would do no damage, but instead slowly intoxicates you (makes you drunk) the longer it stays on making it much hard to navigate the caves and eventually knocking you out even at full health.
-Has to be shot off by a teammate, or by bosco if you are a very lonely dwarf.

Marking a loot bug have the chance to befriend it. Kinda like Steve. But with no actual use. And give it the highest damage in the game for no actual reason.

Make Overcharged PCF's description accurate
The DRAK's Tier 4 "Overcharged PCF" is listed as having a 20% chance to electrocute enemies, but the actual chance seems to be 15% (according to the wiki and some of my own testing to confirm). It would be nice to have the correct value listed in the upgrade terminal.

Better feedback for attacking weak points or armor. In its current state, other than by comparing damage inflicted on a bug, it's hard to tell if your shots are actually striking a weak point or otherwise having a 'significant' effect, or being reduced by armor / are inflicting extra armor damage and such.
Making weak-point attacks have unique sounds on hit, causing a unique effect or otherwise showing the player 'yes, this is doing extra damage' with visual or audio cues would help coach players and inform them of their aim (e.g. if they're hitting or missing the weak point on a Praetorian or other bug with weak points). It would also help differentiate armor and 'normal' damage and inform the players when it comes to special weapons that rely on such precise or specific area hits for benefits.
What comes to mind here is how in Team Fortress 2, you can enable 'hit sounds' for every successful shot, and you also hear unique sounds/have a visual when you do crits or mini-crits. Something similar could apply here - a weapon having different shot sounds when it strikes a weak point or armor to help 'reward' good aim with a satisfying effect. Or simply making a visual particle effect that signifies the extra damage, or shows inflicted damage numbers on hit like in many games.
On bosses it's also important to inform the player that their hits are or aren't doing damage, or are being reduced by something, other than comparing how much their hp bar reduced (especially when everyone is doing damage simultaneously).

New enemy: Lumen leech
An immobile, normally docile enemy that requires the dwarves to navigate without lights - as whenever it's lit up too much (by normal flares, bosco/dwarf flashlights or scout flares), it sucks up the light, becomes a glowing beacon of light itself and goes on a short berzerk spree where it becomes a dangerous hazard, spewing goo and acid projectiles around and forcing the team to pacify it, wasting bullets and/or time and HP.
Idea came from the fact that there's no reason to turn off your dwarf's flashlight, ever.
hard rover
A UI update in order to help players stay informed. Some ideas:
- More UI indicators like the one for Molly. Some examples could be an indicator to show that you are using an ammo shelf, an indicator to show that you are being revived, an indicator to show if you are grabbed, etc.
- The aforementioned armor hit and weakpoint hit indicators that were suggested by the guy above.
Honestly, those are the only ideas. Tell me what you think!

Mutator: Nocturnal fauna
"Enemies are stealthier, tougher and deadlier in the dark - and this region is very, very dark. Keep close to light sources!"
-
The level is even darker than usual, with natural light sources dimmed and other visual tweaks. Being in total darkness dims a dwarfs vision and slows them slightly.
-
non-boss enemies that are not directly lit up by a flare, scout flare or environment light from Bosco, Molly or other dwarf tech get significant power boosts, such as damage resistance (as though warded), damage, speed and similar.
-
Normally glowing/bioluminescent enemies no longer glow/shine unless in a light, making it harder to notice them or aim for their weak points.
-
All dwarf-sourced lights have double lumen power to compensate, including objective areas/features like Doretta or certain events.
-
Setting enemies on fire turns off their darkness benefits and triggers fear. Scout flares do double damage on direct hits and trigger fear. Engi turrets glow/counter darkness like a flare. Gunner ziplines have lights along the line and both ends.

civic coyote
For the Lok-1:
- Move Smart Targeting Software to Tier 4
- Add Hollowpoint Bullets (+30% weakpoint damage) to Tier 3
This would be a great improvement for the weapon as it would allow you to hit the 2 shot breakpoint for grunts since 1.3 * 2 * 2 * 21 = 109.2 ie >= 108. This would make the ammo on Tier 1 a more viable option. Blowthrough builds taking damage on T1 are still powerful. Please make this happen as we want to hit weakpoints on the lok1 for extra damage without being confined to executioner.
Also Smrt targeting fits better in the mod row that focuses on lock modification and this would allow for more varied builds as well. It is not competitive in its current tier but would be interesting to take in addition to other options.

Let it be the more mobility focused option, whereas the Gemini are superior for hunkering down.

Special halloween mission modifier: Deadly shadows.
"We are not sure what is going on in this place - some kind of an anomaly, might be even vacuum of light. Whatever it is, seems like only wildlife adapted to lurk in shadows - anything foreign disappears in them."
Special horror-like modifier that makes live difficult as hell - shadows now are dangerous. Something unseen lurks in them, dwarves can see it for a couple of miliseconds in their flashlights. Whoever dares to walk into unlit area will be heavily attacked - the damage is the same as standing near radiation crystals. Inspired by Vanishing on 7'th street.
Unlit areas deal constant tick damage capable to down dwarf in a matter of 2-3 seconds seconds.
Sometimes you may notice shadowy figures of bug/anything else, might be a part of 
lore bits. They disappear in any light source in miliseconds. Enough to notice them, not enough to look at them. Scary factor.
No ambient light in caves. Complete pitchblack darkness out of any light source.
MULE (if in mission) equipped with 4-direction projector similar to escape droppod's, but weakier, allowing to walk around it safely.
Some natural light sources on map like crystals, geysers, plants produce more light serving as safe spots in travelling.
Flashlight starts to flicker if light levels dwarf staying in are near to be dangerous, indicating that it's better to get to lit area or use flares.
Gunner shield protects from dangers of darkness.
Bonus hardcore points as separate difficulty: Dwarves instantly vanish if staying in darkness for to long, dropping them into spectator mode for their comrades.

New Mission Type ideas:
Escape the Tunnel
You are down in the caves of hoxxes when mission control states that the drop pod has landed at mission start then a countdown will begin you have a few minutes to gate gold and nitra. After that you have to walk around 1000m to the drop pod ascending slowly while the cave behind you starts to crumble away or gets so infested with enemies that no one can survive it for long (but they wont chase you unless youre in the infested part and if someone dies down there you can "safely revive them" cuz they only start to attack you if youre longer that 30 seconds in that area so stay together and make your way up there before its too late.
Catch the Error Cube:
No one knows why but apparently the glypids dug out a Error cube. No matter what you have to prevent it that they get it.
You have to chase a bug with a lot of hp and the cube while doing damage to it but at the same time it calls for glypids and sometimes swarms to aid it and slow you down.

Give Hover Boots a passive perk of a double jump platfomer game style with a short cooldown to increase their utility outside of just fall damage. (Maybe only at tier 3?) The keybinding to double jump should be to press the jump key and then again while in the air. The double jump will only add a small amount of vertical velocity, and will not counteract falling at high speeds. Also the active ability of hover boots should have the keybinding changed to pressing and holding the jump button. I've died many times trying to activate my hover boots only to call the mule to me because I was too close to a wall.

Weapon suggestion for the Scout: a burst-fire submachine gun. I know that we already have two fully automatic weapons already available, so how is this any different? First, it would have stronger recoil control to compensate for the lack of a full-automatic firing mode. Second, thanks to precision engineering that R&D put into this weapon it is possible to SPRINT AND SHOOT at the same time with this weapon, in ANY direction. RUN AND GUN!! Please note, it still falls to user to maintain environmental awareness (in other words it's your own fault if you sprint off a cliff). As to its appearance, I think it would be best to use the modern P-90 as a reference (you know that gun that has horizontal clip on top, and the go-to smg in Valve's Counterstrike).

Bet-C
“Hmmm, it looks like you’ve found one of those combat MULEs from late back in the day. They’re relatively simple, just make sure you are always moving while it is active.”
Korlok
“Careful now, you’ve stumbled upon a Korlok Tyrant-Weed. Management pays well for it’s valuable shards, but it’s heavily guarded by lethal Sprouts and Healing Pods. Destroy enough of them at once in order to damage the Weed itself. Prepare for a long fight.”
Prospector
“A Rival Company Prospector! And it’s stealing valuables off of our planet. Looks harmless, but when it’s threatened in any way, expect some more of it’s kind to come and defend it. Dispense of the Prospector as quick as you can before it’s escorts dispense of you.”

Let us shoot red sugar down from the ceiling, somehow

New Mode: Scavenge
"We have seem to have found some ruins of unknown origin on the planet. It's not Dwarven nor Rival Tech but scanners indicate it may have rare valuables lost to time. Tread carefully."
In this mode you explore a cave to find all sort of bunches of randomly generated old abandoned ruins. Release your inner Indiana Jones as you try to avoid the many traps that may or may not be functional (against bugs as much as Dwarves) in an attempt to secure ancient technology and relics long lost to time. Beware of what lurks in them though, as bugs would be the least of your problems....
languid stream
Adding Overclock icons to the loadout symbol pool. Since we have up to 15 loadouts per class now, i think it could be a good idea to have a larger range of symbols to represent our builds a lil bit better
civic coyote
Add a live grenade danger indicator similar to the sphere around C4. This would be very helpful for avoiding friendly fire with sticky grenades and HE's we throw.
brave forge
add a random detonation modifier where grenades randomly explode in your pocket
also randomly sets off guns in your pocket
Maybe even set off pockets in your pocket
languid stream
Give the HE grenade an impact fuse and some incendiary power to incentivize its use. We all need more driller friendly fire memes in our lives, and it could interact a little bit better with the other driller tools

New Opportunities and hazards!
Lootbug Hive: Opportunity
Scanner indicate an unusual high number of Lootbugs in the area. It seems this may be a nest of sorts. Good for you!
:Lootbugs spawn 30% more often/30% more spawn at the start of the mission and respawn after each swarm.
:15% of the lootbugs that spawn are replaced by Golden Lootbugs
Rival Site: Hazard
Management has just informed me that this region has been recently taken over by our rivals. Well, no matter, get down there and complete your mission.
:Rival Company Enemies spawn more often, approximately 25% more often in fact.
:20% chance for swarms to be replaced by a Shredder swarm
:Guaranteed Rival Company Event (Prospector or Data Deposit)
As a secondary submission for suggestions, maybe mission control may occasionally drop a voiceline relating to one of the hazards or Opportunities instead of his standard line when leaving the drop pod, For example
Swarmpocolypse: "Careful team, Our scanners are glowing right now, those caves may be infested."
Rich Atmosphere: "We've detected a anomaly in the air down there team, are you feeling alright?"
Regenerating Bugs: "A recent team that was down in your region reports mutations in the bugs, be careful."
Golden Bugs:"One of our scouting teams reports watching the bugs....Eating gold? Maybe you can collect what they ate after killing them?"
rugged marsh
Quality of Life improvements for mining and miners:
- Make gold mine at the same speed as Nitra. So that people have less of a reason to skip it and to make it a faster process.
- Increase Bosco and Molly's movement speed to reduce waiting time for miners.
- Improve the flare recharge rate.
- Improve the visibility of mined-out croppa nuggets, as they're near invisible in the darker biomes
tidal pine
Give sludge-pump goo a different texture or something, or a different color that stands out more.
There's so many occurrences where you see goo from mactera and glyphids and just randomly throughout caves that it gives new players or anyone who hasn't seen the sludge pump yet the idea that "green ball things on ground = bad". Once you have a driller throwing goo around everywhere it's really hard to tell if it's safe to step in or unsafe. It doesn't help that it's still a very greenish color like goo bomber goo.
rugged marsh
Make the Stabber Vines actually react/give feedback to attacks, or be treated as an enemy and have the enemy outline/hp bar. They don't show any signs you're hitting them or their weak spot currently. Even the beehives have better hit feedback.
sacred kettle
Perhaps a way to alert either the host or team when someone takes more than one of a resupply, recently I got accused/singled out for taking multiples when I only took one.. It kind of killed the vibe of the escort mission I was in.
delicate cedar
Pickaxe Reskins: Power Fists
Replaces the Pickaxe with two large pressurized gauntlets, and replaces the swing animation with a left/right Punch.
No changes to the stats, same as pickaxe just reskined.
Power Attack would be a two hand slam for stone/materials, and a backhand for creatures.
Could be different looks for class:
Engineer: More Steampunk
Scout: More Streamlined
Gunner: More Plating
Driller: More Reinforced
rugged marsh
Rework the lighting and coloration of the dense biozone to improve its overall visibility in lit or dark areas and to reduce eye-strain. The darkness and purple colors blend together and hide important terrain features in the often massive caves.
velvet patrol
magma core is bad enough already, but red, fire-breathing praetorians would look so good. just use the lacerators fire breath.
rugged marsh
Enemy: lootmuncher
A carnivorous plant that evolved to lure and feast on lootbugs, it's perfectly willing to add Dwarf to its regular diet. This venus-fly-trap lays idle on the floor, with a single random nugget of gold or other shiny minerals on it mouth, waiting for prey to walk on its mouth, at which point it clamps down with its cage-like jaw.
Mechanically, it's a floor-based version of the roof leech, trapping you until rescued if you walk over the mineral nugget its using as bait. Heightened senses can warn and free you from it. Killing it lets you grab the chunk of mineral it used as a lure.

***Lootbug Hive: Opportunity***
*Scanner i...
More of an Addon then anything, I realize Shredder swarms don't exist as far as I know so here are some mission control voicelines for a Shredder swarm warning!
"Ah hell. Team scanners are picking up ten....No twenty...A lot of shredders on route, get ready!"
"We're picking up an increase in Rival Transmissions, be ready for anything down there."
"Team, Scanners show our rivals are dispatching a wave of shredders towards your location, prepare for a fight."
And for when the shredder swarm arrives!
"Lock and Load team, Shredders are here!"
"Shredders, and lots of them! Take them out quickly!"
"The Shredder Wave is ontop of you team, weapons ready!"
sterile vine
Add a overclock to the autocannon that makes it better at digging terrain, probably bundled with a bonus to AoE damage. its a neat gimmick that gunner's weapons can damage terrain, why not lean into it a little and give him a way to break the roof supports of crystals or knock down high up ores?

magma core is bad enough already, but red, fire-breathing praetorians would look...
I feel like I’d rather have Mactera Firebombers, or Burning Oppressors being implemented instead of a Praetorian variant. Magma Core is dangerous enough, but if I wanted to make the bugs present more dangerous because of it, I would rather maximize other usually less dangerous creatures of the caves…
Burning Oppressor
- Exclusive to Magma Core
- Unable to be set on Fire (Dreadnought levels of Fire Resistance)
- Unable to be Frozen (99% Cold Resistance)
- Ranged attacks (Stomp and Tantrum) leave behind lasting stones with embers in the air to indicate a highly flammable zone. Lasts 10 seconds (or more…or less?)
- No Death Rattle
Mactera Firebomber
- Exclusive to Magma Core
- Goo Puddles replaced with Napalm Puddles - Movement speed is slowed (significantly less potent than normal goo), but deals fire damage to anything trapped within.
(Optionally, Napalm is initially weak, but highly flammable. Any spec of heat from hot surfaces, Firebomber’s attacks, or anything that shoots fire, will result in Napalm that deals significantly more damage.) - Projectile attack is replaced with a fireball visually similar to Dreadnoughts (instead of terrain carving, leaves behind temporary Napalm, already aflame.)
- Death Rattle has Firebomber move directly up into the air for a moment, before immediately shooting downwards in a small, medium damage (terrain-friendly) explosion, leaving behind a large puddle of Napalm.

Would love to see new types of mineral generation. I'd really like to see somthing like Tiberium crystals from the Command Conqure games
faint patrol
New random lost item for buff or debuff:
Kegs smuggled down by early miners under looser DRG regulations were often homebrewed concoctions of dubious origin. Over time and under the influence of Hoxxes atmosphere the contents have been changed in unknown ways.
If a pioneer keg is discovered, miners should immediately report it to management for disposal. Under no circumstances should you attempt to drink the contents and toast to Karl.

tardy dune
this one's probably been mentioned before but I think a sandwich bar would be pretty neat
a mod that replaces the caretaker roar or low rumble with the huaaaAAaah sound that's sweeping the internet right now would be great
tardy dune
additions to the miner's manual that include random bits of trivia on random things like the ingredients of the revive fluid and the origins of the hoop game and how it was constructed and the event that caused the leaf lovers special to become a permanent addition to the drink menu
bits of lore about the surface of hoxxes and the wildlife there would be pretty cool
a few computers or internet browsers on the space rig where you could access a private company owned Hoxxes-pedia that contains extensive information on the wildlife and biomes of hoxxes (like a bigger miner's manual)
new mission type where you're sent down to kill a Queen Bulk Detonator (QBD)
the QBD is fused with the wall and has armored lids that open and close on its weak points
QBD does not take damage from bulk detonators or exploders, and the wall it is binded to cannot be damaged
you have to shoot the weak points to deal damage to the boss, once the weak points are destroyed the QBD opens its mouth. after it opens up, mission control will send down a mortar launcher or cannon to launch an explosive into its mouth. after you push the button to fire the cannon, the extraction timer starts, and you have to get to the drop pod before the entire cave violently explodes
wispy pier
Heat grenade, sets ablaze bugs when in proximity when thrown, similar to a plasma grenade but instead of blasting in bursts, it scorches with heatwaves rather than a burning inferno to an area unlike the incendiary grenade, which requires a good distance away from when thown
tardy dune
new mission warning: spitballer infection
anywhere between 40-25 spitballers spawn in the caves
spitballers have drastically reduced health and elemental resistance
spitballer damage is reduced
(optional) spitballers are aggressive towards all lifeforms and deems them threats to their growing empire
reasoning for this absolutely awful addition: how can it be any less fun than cave leech cluster
gunner weapon idea: "Freedom Fighter" Rocket Launcher
a rocket launcher that fires a single rocket at a time, with a default of 5 rockets in the clip
the rockets are slow but deal pretty significant damage, as well as a little bit of area damage
the rockets deal reduced damage to teammates
the gunner can use the rocket launcher to rocket jump into the air, and will have reduced fall damage when they land (or only if they meet a certain requirement before they land, such as getting one kill) (rocket jumping mechanic can also be added as an overclock rather than a default stat or upgrade)
reasoning:
gunner does not have great mobility, and switching from flying around the caves as scout to sluggishly crawling around waiting for your dash to recharge as gunner is always a very jarring transition
crude finch
What if the haunted cave modifier is scarier, like your headlamp is really weak and your flare duration is halved. Also ambient noises are scarier. And something is constantly chasing you and it attacks you if there isn't another dwarf nearby
jovial mason
We need an overclock tracker of some kind. Where we can see ALL of them left for us to acquire, also need a shooting range and the ability to try them out. Potentially letting us try ones we do not have, in a small room with some bugs we can spawn.

This might just be me complaining, and I apologize if this is what it is lol, but the healing pods for the korlok tyrant weed should at least have a line of sight to the boss itself to heal, maybe reduced healing if it goes through a wall. Annoys me when a healing pod appears 20 meters under the boss in an obscure cave that no one in the team noticed. I can't imagine the difficulty of the weed on solo with gunner or engine when multiple healing pods spawns like that throughout the fight.

“Thruster” Overclock for the CRSPR Flamethrower
An overclock that turns the CRSPR into a jet thruster. Similar to face melter, but it’s more intense and produces thrust.
(The stats are mostly for placeholder purposes)
+8 Damage
+2.2 Flow Rate
+Thrust Capabilities (For the user)
-10m Range
-75 Max Fuel
Little to no sticky flame duration
Again, these are just place holder stats, I’m only suggesting the funni Thrust.

Alt skins:
allow swapping of the primary and secondary colors/patterns for paintjobs. I imagine it wouldn't be super hard to implement, but what do I know. Alternatively, you could make these alt paintjobs their own, auto generated paintjobs, effectively doubling the amount of paintjobs in the game.
Support Tool Overclocks:
I'm aware of how controversial this is, but overclocks that mostly effect exclusively the owner would be interesting.
- Onboard Ammo Repository: Unstable Turret overclock. -50% ammo storage, -20% damage. Instead of needing to be reloaded, turrets automatically pull ammunition from the player's storage.
- E-Z setup: Balanced Turret overclock. Turrets are now thrown instead of placed directly in front of the player. Turrets may be deployed on walls. Turrets will build themselves automatically, but cannot be manually built to speed up setup. +35% build time.
- Advanced Priority Systems: Clean turret overclock. Enemies shot by the turret owner will become turret priority targets and take +20% more damage from turrets for 5s.

Hawkeye tweak:
Any enemy you target will have your turrets (and any other engineer turrets) deal slightly more damage to the marked target
Turret tier 4 upgrade:
“Upgraded targeting computer”
Turrets will target enemies more quickly, and fire more bullets per burst
Turret tier 4 upgrade:
“Protocol 3”
Any enemies that attack the engineer of the turret will be immediately targeted by turrets, as well as the turret rate of fire being temporarily increased

prevent the prospector from getting triggered by environmental damage ie magma core and dense biozone. currently the prospector can get triggered by plants or magma geysirs and starts spawning enemies everytime it gets triggered. this can cause essentially infinite robots. not fun

For season 2: More 'bonus scrip' rewards from doing optional missions or ways of getting scrip besides leveling/specific daily mission. The season 1 rewards you rely on daily mission RNG for at least 10 scrip extra to finish the cosmetic tree, even if you level season pass to max.

You know what would be even scarier... Dark glyphids, glyphids that are hyper sensitive to light, and they constantly chase you and stay out of the light. Flares and lights harm them, so they flinch back, away from the light. The praetorians can spit a tar-like substance, causing lights to go out. A whole new biome of just pitch black would exist where these glyphids roam. An angler fish type glyphid would attract you, looking like a precious resource or red sugar and would grab you. The scout would be able to deal lots of damage to these things as his equipment is visibility oriented. They would be totally silent except for foot steps. Oh, and they attack lootbugs because they emit a tiny amount of light. Bosco would also not be able to light up areas. And maybe the dark glyphids would have some sort of lures, like one would look like a dwarf's flashlight, only to grab you and start hurting you

Late Class Join Duplication working as intended where players can't pick a class that's already taken WHILE we're on the shuttle. Some of us keep that enabled for a reason only to have some greenbeard jenkem huffer to pick another class we already have.
Prevent Late Class Duplication Join before the drop as well as after the drop. This gets tiring.
You know what? I'd even say in rooms like that, add a request to swap roles so people don't have to fiddle with the option all the time.
limpid dawn
because dash is by far the best perk in the game, why not make dash a base part of gameplay and enable dashing in any direction? keep the cooldown as is, just enable everyone to do it and make perks more interesting as well, plus this would enable more options in melee combat (dashing to the side to dodge, etc) and would free up a perk slot for everyone

TOTAL BLACKOUT EVENT
Mission control says something is getting wrong with connection of team and how he tries to stabilise it while you hear static that gets louder and louder, and BAM!
Everything (almost) gets cut off: lights, HUD, ammo counters on weapons , gunner's shield, not even laser pointer is working and etc
At same time, big horde with mini boss incoming to players (That Mini boss is a main reason of blackout, covered with electro crystals and needed to be killed in order to return everything back on working)
After killing that creature, some time later M.C gets his connection back with team, equipment starts working and game continues as usual

Promotion: Reforge in Forge
A upgrade what allow you to ReForge your old weapons in Forge by using minerals & credit [it would be nice if error cube have use, maybe forge station upgrade for 1 error cube?], it can be obtained after Silver Promotion On First stage of Silver promotion, for example gunner silver promotion progress:
[Silver I] you will get mission to obain Minigun ReForge
[Silver II] you will get mission to obain Thunderhead ReForge
[Silver III] you will get mission to obain Hurricane ReForge
- ReForge Weapon would unlock Overclock looking slot, what allow you to equip one "upgrade" what would boost some under-rated OC or change base (upgrades for this slot can be found in "Lost equipement" or "chests")
- difference between this and OC is, that it don't have "downsides" and would be used to boost some under-rated OC, for example "Neurotoxin payload" for Thunderhead would deal more toxic damage if you equip upgrade for toxic damage what will be only avaliable in Reforge slot.
Each class silver promotion would unlock ReForge for weapons what this class have (not for all classes)
This idea was for rewarding players who go for higher ranks like bronze/silver/gold/diamond etc.
If DRG team would like this suggestion, it can be apply on other equipement, like armor, flares, Granade, special equipement etc.
If u still don't get it, its just additional upgrade slot, what you can unlock after silver promotion to boost weapon to under-rated overclocks
stoic arrow
I have a suggestion for the armor! So when you open the terminal with the equipment, and press armor, you normally see the upgrade bar and stuff y'know.. but my suggestion is that you can get from the events a matrix core for the armor with passive buffs: Less damage from falling, more speed, +1 gold when you mine gold, higher thorns damage, no falling from ziplines when macteras shoot you, +100 Bullets for the minigun and more... Also you have only 1 slot to put the passive buff in! Also i forgot to say that the forging will be very expensive, yes. How does it sound?

Hey, actually, here's a suggestion.
Second type of switching weapons, that can be turned on/off in settings. I'm talking about 'Q' (or another key for "last-used-weapon").
The idea is:
-If player is holding weapon (primary), that button will change weapon to another slot (secondary) regardless of last used slot, and back to primary after second press.
-If player is holding anything except weapon (primary or secondary), return to last used weapon (primary or secondary).
For example, that system was applied in Hunt: Showdown, and it works perfectly fine there.
Yes, I know, that DRG is NOT competetive PvP shooter, but that will be really comfortable option for some players.
vivid copper
And here's another small idea - give the oportunity to switch portraits of dwarfes to class-icons (during the mission, left part of hud).
A couple of days ago I played with some newbies, and, it seems, some new players struggles a bit with designation - who is who. Cuz they looking not at portraits, but at portrait-frame color to difine, who is losing health right now (scout, gunner, driller or engineer). And these frames are not so great visible tho.
We already got great icons for each character, so, guess, that will be not so difficult.
P.S. It's not a problem for people, who spent more than 5-6 hours in DRG, but I really enjoying when new greenbeards joins us, and that will be great to make their first dives a bit more comfortable. For Rock and Stone.

If you have the "It's a Bug Thing" perk and the "Lootbug Lover" victory emote equipped at the same time, it should unlock a hidden variant of the victory emote that shows the dwarf picking up the lootbug and hugging it so hard that it pops.

The ability to upgrade your flashlight, maybe you can unlock a UV upgrade that’ll have a 5 minute cooldown but you shine a bright purple light and stun everything in front of you. Or maybe you could upgrade how bright it is, or how wide the light is. Maybe a very expensive upgrade that makes it bright as a flare.

Could we have the red sugar that spawns on ceilings/high places fall off when shot by any weapon, not just by gunner or with explosives? Or at least make it so any bullet/projectile weapon can mine them into chunks just by shooting it?

An option to turn off seeing corpse feeders. (They make me, And probably others, uncomfortable) Also, Maybe an arachnophobia mode to make the glyphids less spiderlike (use fists for suggestion 1, thumbs for suggestion 2.)

from my understanding Nitroglycerin round only increase the AOE damage by 1 every second or so, making them not so great of a choice compared to napalm rockets and stun. currently I only run them on plasma missiles but I still find them lackluster.
I feel like the damage increase amount, or the increase rate needs to be upped, as well as increasing the direct damage and AOE range over time instead of just the AOE damage.

sometimes when someone ends a lobby it gives a "session ended abruptly, would you like to reconnect" option. this has only come up for me when the host ends the lobby purposely.
i think it would be very VERY usefull to have it also come up if you get a "could not connect to server", or get kicked for some reason in the middle of the game. because there are very few things that feel worse then loosing an entire mission worth of awards because you internet dropped for a few seconds in a public lobby, and being pretty much completely unable to do anything about it.

Make it so that you don't have to purchase identical cosmetics for each class individually (i.e. if I want the same kind of beard for all four dwarves, I have to buy it four times).

maybe give anti-gravity mixture an effect similar to nitroglycerin compound so the longer it travels the greater impact damage it has? would make it much more usable than it is now as it is nigh impossible to justify using over hydrogen ion additives effectiveness for a clean overclock

Making the uplink and fuel cells always spawn in a good spot or an easy one to defend. This just happened last mission.

Give the driller a Tesla coil for a fourth primary? An overclock could charge allied shields in proximity or create an area of effect that zaps projectiles out of the sky at the cost of higher ammo consumption

I would actually like to suggest a similar alternative to this!

Electronic Interference

Equipment is malfunctioning Flashlights will occasionally turn off automatically for periods of time! The terrain scanner is offline.
Parts of huds are disabled, mostly your Ammo counter. Also engineers are unable to monitor their sentries through the HUD, nor the ammo counters found on the sides of them.

“Damn flares could use an upgrade!” says my dwarf as I press F for the fifth consecutive time in a row
Simple, upgrades for flares that have similar modifications to weapons, simply being things along the lines of light range, burn length, throwing force, regeneration, and total count
Possibly some different ones such as a mod to make said flare stick to a surface like sticky grenade, or a simple color changing one, a goofy flare upgrade turning it into a color randomizer or disco flares

New Mission: Drill Retrieval. After a failed mission to retrieve an Ommoran Heartstone, DRG needs you to find the lost drill, repair it's motor functions, uplink to mission control, refuel it and bring it home safely to have it properly fixed and reused for another mission. Be warned: this whole process makes a lot of noise and will attract a lot of hostiles to the drill and you also need to protect the drill as it makes it's way back. Of course, DRG could just make more drills and leave the permanently damaged ones alone. Long story short, sending in miners to bring them back and restore them is a lot cheaper. Good luck miners, rock and stone.

Move the “Reconnect to Session” option to show up as a mini-window in the Pause Menu instead of a separate screen you could accidentally right click (vital pickaxe button) yourself out of.
pliant mason
Suggestion: Alternative Traversal Tools
Alternative options to each class's Traversal Tool that serve different purposes and could help make class stacking more varied on the side.
Driller: JAK-AXE - Mineral Jackhammer
The direct opposite of the Drill Arms, the JAK-AXE lets the Driller mine mineral veins and deposits faster than a pickaxe while using the same mechanics of pickaxe power while still having a cooldown mechanic like the Drill Arms. As a weapon, you can repeatedly strike bugs albeit in a more centered range, and different upgrades can let it mine even faster or multiply damage on enemies for every ailment applied.
Scout: Re-CALL - Warp Pad
Through breakthroughs in R&D, this replacement to the Grappling Hook allows Scout to place a pad anywhere on the map and be able to immediately teleport to it at the click of a button, but using it up forces both an extensive cooldown and limited used that's replenished at supply pods. Mods can give the Scout combat benefits, decrease cooldown, and a special ability of either teleporting large objects or placing two total pads for optimal traversal.
Gunner: WAY-FND - Lantern Probe
Trading out Ziplines for something of equal value, the Gunner can place down a permanent lantern fixture in key spots to provide needed light for the team. However, it does more than just light up the area, which by using specific mods you can use Lantern Proves as weapons or as support tools. In general, you can increase the amount you can place before running out, allow Probes to ping themselves on your team's UI if any enemies are nearby, spray fear-inducing gas, or even have a special ability to prime them for detonation by dousing the area in harsh sticky flames.
Engineer: SALT-9 - Salt Hose or "Saltine"
For losing Platforms in general, Engineer gains a means to neutralize any and all environmental hazards by using a hose for spraying... Salt. Spraying surfaces that slow down or harm players destroys their effects, allowing safe passage through goo, snow, magma, ice, and much more. It also has a combat effect of slowing down or even weakening enemies due to the intense effects. Mods upgrade overall reach or ammo, the potency of the salt, and a special upgrade tier that lets you use your reload key to use a wide-spread mode or create temporary platforms at your feet and create a quick path.

No sticky napalm
New fuel and heat-resistant materials allow you to burn right through any living thing on your way with focused stream of almost-plasma.
Stats can be changed, probably around compensating napalm's dps, but there is the idea.
I see ice and goo guns get some new fire modes (alternate-fire projectiles and charged shot leaving trail), but flamethrower has nothing such game changing. Its two unstable overclocks clearly indicate to build and play around covering ground with napalm and crowd controlling through it or burning the bugs directly.
This OC creates the ultimate agressive playstyle which abandons any crowd-control landscape-using tactics for jumping right at the bugs and indeed shooting mostly in their faces directed at you to bite. Another aspect is increased efficiency against larger targets since it still ignores armor, so welcome to eliminations.

Have Golden Exploders (Midas Exploders?) appear on “Golden Bugs” Anomaly missions.
Maybe an uncommon variant that accompany the original exploders, similar to Grunt Guard and Slashers. This can also prevent Golden Exploders from overriding the Region’s Exploder Variant.
Functionally, they’re the same as a normal Exploder (maybe they can drop 2 gold instead of 1?), but the Miner’s Manual could have a small tidbit about the formation of a Crassus Detonator.

New mutator: Hallucinogenic atmosphere
The atmosphere in this area, whilst breathable, contains a chemical that impairs the senses. Try not to waste your ammo on what isn't real.
During the mission, special hallucination enemies will spawn in large numbers. They trigger slowdown and hit visuals but do no damage. The enemies vanish upon taking any damage or attacking once. In essence, they're fake enemies that can be ignored but may cause you to waste ammo or panic.

Something thats been bothering me a bit- some armor sets, such as the Dark Future set, use specific colors on the lights per class, however a light on say the headlamp helmet does not match the armor. Maybe make armor sets with prominent lights replace the lights coloration on helmets? I.e. if using the Dark Future armor with the Black Crag skin on scout with the headlamp helmet, the light on the helmet (which would normally be red from the paintjob) becomes blue (from the armor).

Theres a glitch where a dwarf can grab all 4 drinks at once at the abyss bar if they click fast enough. My suggestion is NOT to fix this glitch, but rather force the dwarf who grabbed them to have to drink them all. If you grab 4 arkenstouts, you have to drink all four before you can pick more up.

Dwarf Dialog Alterations
Drop Pod Landing
I find it weird that, regardless of what class you’re playing as, even with Rich Atmosphere, you always hear a dwarf speaking at the same pitch (which I think matches the Engineer). It would be nice if said pitch was dependent on the host’s class, such as a driller having a deep voice once it’s time to step out. Solo missions could have exclusive starter dialogue where said dwarf talks to themself instead of to their “team.”
Occasional Banter
To help bring some more life to the dwarves, they could occasionally pass some words around to lighten the mood on slower missions. An example being the gunner commenting on scout drinking a leaf lover’s behind the team’s back, or someone considering the ethics of their current job before being told to shut up and dig. Hell, it could even depend on level, such as an experienced dwarf telling a green beard they should be ready for a rough ride on a haz 4/5 mission.
Situation Specific
Hearing the dwarves being aware of certain happenings, such as a generated cave going extremely high up or excessively large once entered would also help the dwarves feel like they’re aware of their surroundings. A scout commenting on their current team build of all scouts could lead to some funny dialogue either from one dwarf or multiple, or even a dwarf going “We really should have gotten a driller!” if there isn’t one present. Maybe a dwarf could call you out for ordering/drinking a leaf lover’s, or being drunk mid-mission. A funny one would be a downed dwarf yelling “quit goofing off and help me!” when someone keeps canceling their revive repeatedly, whom just laughs in response.
More Pointer Dialogue
Pinging a fellow dwarf could call out their current class, or occasionally calling them something like “fat boy”. Or, depending on their status, can point out what they’re doing. A dwarf telling you to put your back into it when you’re carrying a heavy object as some helpful advice, or going “Don’t leave him behind, grab him!” when pinging a downed dwarf.
Chat-Specific Dialogue
Most of us probably hit “r” in the chat when we’re ready to do something, but what if our dwarf actually said “Ready to go” or “Let’s do this” when you chat r? Simple phrases depending on what someone chats could make their dwarf say something in response.
R / Ready is the most obvious example, it’ll let your fellow dwarves know you’re prepared
W / Wait would make your dwarf go “Now hold on, guys!”
S / Stop orders your team to halt their position
U / Up could be quoting the miner’s manual; “Remember lads, look out, look up!”
The list goes on, Y / N could be simple yes or no confirmation
alpine ocean
It's likely been mentioned but the guy in mission control could actually probably afford to have more lines. Namely concerning at specific points in missions or on the rig about his time. Was he always just information relay? Did he actually also dig down into Hoxxes for years? Did he ever work alongside Karl? Etc. Specifically lines that make management more relatable to us as players rather than the stickler for when we kick barrels all over the place or dance and drink too much before a mission.
It's those little details that make a difference.
gloomy fjord
This is both weirdly specific yet vague, but:
I'd love to see more heavy machinery, industrial themes, and pollution. The whole thing of us dwarves being invasive and industrious and destructive is one I weirdly like, and nothing is more satisfying than hearing the shuddering and clanging and chugging of a morkite refinery.
Generally, more mission types which have large industrial machines, and possibly making existing things have combustion engines and other loud noisy polluting parts. The whole industrial*-punk theme gels so well with the Dwarven aesthetics.
Again, weirdly specific and also very general, but I still wanted to share I suppose
*meant to say diesel-punk (think Factorio and such) but i dont like editing suggestions after lots of people have already reacted to it

There should be some sort of way to change a match from solo to Multiplayer so other Dwarves can join in-game. Perhaps some sort of flare or beacon you can set up that you have to defend for a said amount of time. There's been numerous times where I was playing solo however the RNG was absolutely atrocious and I really needed some help but couldn't change it.

More area specific lines in the space rig, moreso focusing on the Abyss Bar region. Pressing X inside the drop pod already has your dwarf tell the others to hurry up, maybe there could be more lines depending on what you’re doing such as being on the dance floor or playing the hoop game.
Being next to the actual bar and pressing X could specifically tell the other dwarves it’s time to get a drink, assuming drinks are already present. Otherwise, under the same circumstances without a drink, the dwarf could suggest someone buys a round

Some form of rogelite mode. Story could be based around going to a mission but your drill broke down mid flight, went off course and crashed into a forbidden region that has frequent electrical storms on the surface making safe travels by drill impossible.
The rogelite aspect of the mission would be having to gather upgrades for health, armor, cooldown speeds, flare amount, and more. The upgrades can be gained by finding fallen dwarves who have experienced the same fate as you.
Checkpoints will be set up for saving and refilling your ammo, health, and a complementary non alcoholic beverage courtesy of management to deter lawsuits.
When at a checkpoint you can leave and go back to the station but still keep your journey and upgrades saved but can bring back the minerals so when you take a break your rewarded with at least something.
There is an end where you manage to leave the forbidden zone and a drill managed to be sent to retrieve you. If you want to you can continue the journey basically resetting the journey and keeping everything but having new terrain and encounterables/resources
Finishing the journey, you will be rewarded with a generous sum of money, minerals, and XP. Completing it the first time and you will be rewarded with a "I survived the forbidden zone" T-shirt and hat.

Two suggestions I think would be great:
1: A slot machine, poker, or some fun way to gamble your minerals and/or credits with limitations on using it between missions, maybe 3-5 uses before it requires you to play a mission? It could be an interactive experience with other dwarves betting on something, and the winner and 2nd place gets the majority of the pot, as well as a single player mechanic to squeeze an extra bit of minerals or credits you might need for something. Would be a fun mini game while waiting for AFK players or the lobby to fill. It could be a solo thing which rewards you with a percentage bonus of your minerals or credits back, or a temporary perk powerup of some kind.
2: A small emote menu that you can hold a key down and select between 4-5 things to help with quick communication or for people who speak a different language. It would look sort of like the matrix core choice menu.

TLDR: Crowdfund a cinematic trailer for DRG.
From when I first started playing DRG, I have always been immensely impressed by how you guys at Ghost Ship have been able to produce a game which puts so many other AAA titles to shame with its amount of content, the depth of its mechanics, and the genius QOL features that are throughout this game. But the one thing it lacks that I feel it absolutely deserves to have is a proper cinematic trailer for the game. It's something I loved about games like TF2 which made me feel like I knew the characters und understood their world through the famous Meet the Team animated shorts. I and many others in the community would go nuts for something of a similar nature to that. To be able to see our favorite dwarves in an epic firefight on the big screen or smashing their mugs together before chugging them down at the Abyss Bar would be an unforgettable experience. I am aware that others on this channel have made similar suggestions, and the response is always the same: GSG is a small company that does not at all have the resources for something like that. And I get it, even something a couple minutes long would be ridiculously expensive. But, in light of the overwhelming success of the DRG board game, why not ask the community to fund it? Get an estimate for how much something like that would cost, put up a GoFundMe for it, and see how much the fanbase wants it to happen! I for one would definitely donate to something like that, and with how much I have seen the community adore this game, I can imagine that plenty of others would be glad to pitch in as well.
So who else would want to contribute? Leave a on this post if you'd donate or just a if it's something you'd like to see but not help out with.

I had an idea for an OC but it probably wont be accepted unless the game decides to add OCs to traversal tools:
liquid plastcreet: rather than shooting a glob of the stuff, it shoots out as a stream at an arch and solidifies on contact with the ground. Im thinking this would be a faster way to make bridges instead of just shooting 15 platforms in a row.
Like i said, its a bit of a ways off, but if it ever comes to it i think this would be interesting.

Maybe some more options when it comes to mapping controller bindings would be good? Mainly for things like hover boots (to switch the activation button to something like X or a right stick click would be really nice) also the laser pointer.. I'd mostly just like the ability to add waypoints on controller tbh.
Edit: now I'm aware to add a waypoint on controller is either square on PS or X on Xbox.

Okay, that might be a weird one, but maybe make it so when you find a supply crate (that gives a skin) it has a higher chance of giving you a skin for the dwarf you're playing rn. In full party it will do nothing, in 2-3 players it will lower chances for a skin for not used in this run class.
This also applies to the weapons your dwarf(dwarves) are holding rn.
That will increase happiness when you find one and reduce the amount of grind for a skin for the beloved dwarf wep
I'm suggesting that since i found 2 cargo crates so far, first had a gunner cosmetic, second was the driller. I'm an engi main btw

While voice and text comms do exist, it's helpful to be able to exactly pinpoint a location, or leave reminders - it's hard to remember that resupply pod hole in the middle of a cave when you're trying to make your way to the drop pod, right until you fall into it.

Molly only goes to you when requested, rather than Molly randomly starting to walk on her own when you get too far. Sure, you will have to call her when you want her to move, but at least she will stay put. Possibly the option could be also where you choose if Bosco comes with you. The hosts settings is what will determine it (so if you have it toggled but aren't the host, it won't change the option)
tropic sable
Seeing the concept of Molly customization discussed on stream a few times gave me an idea -- charms!
Instead of full paint schemes which only the user/host could see, each dwarf could select one (1) of these "charms" (meaning something like a keychain/phone charm, for example) of their choice to apply, which would then appear as an attachment somewhere on the MULE.
For each dwarf present in a lobby, their charm would show up on the MULE as well, meaning up to a total of four (4) charms could be present at one time.
These could consist of a range of things, including (but not limited to):
• Small trinkets/keychain models (i.e. a tiny pickaxe, a plastic moustache, a mini Bosco/Lloyd figurine, a Huuli Hoarder eye [shiny!], a glyphid tooth, etc + maybe with simple physics?),
• Sticky notes (like those on the spacerig's fridge) with small drawings on them,
• Stickers/decals (the beer labels could be fun),
• Painted "tattoos"/art (likely small/not too complicated, so all four dwarves' chosen designs could fit at once),
• and/or other small cosmetic attachments (some tie-in with destroyed robot parts from the rival faction could be fun!).
These could have certain designated slots on the mule where they could appear, so they wouldn't interfere with each other (i.e. slots for stickers on each of the four corners of the MULE). Or for keychains, they could all show up attached to something like a carabiner clip (could have all four populate a single clip as players join, for example, like a keyring with multiple keychains on it).
All of these could be earned in the usual fashion (via cosmetic cores/cargo crates/backpacks/Season Pass), and/or for completing certain milestones in the game (examples: killing X number of bugs could grant a glyphid tooth trinket, completing Y number of Industrial Sabotages could grant a [small] robot piece, and so on).
This would be limited to only one charm per-dwarf (aka up to four on the MULE at a time), as to not make things too visually complex/distracting, but would be a way for everyone in a lobby to add their own personal touch to the MULE in-mission.

I'm sure it's likely been mentioned but a way to unlock another overclock slot... for the sake of simplicity we'll call it a Masterwork Slot. Due to the bonuses of most overclocks we get, adding in the ability to graft on another modification would be huge (and probably meta breaking as well, but fun is at the heart of this). Like the forge itself, we'd probably need to do a number of assignments to unlock the capability to do so (and maybe invest some credits and minerals to compensate for the weapon to be able to handle all the extra tweaks.).
Being well beyond my time as an employee having forged overclocks on top of overclocks, it's possible that the dwarves would have picked up a technique to further enhance our arsenal to deal with the bugs more effectively. So something like this would probably take a bit of time before it unlocks but at the very least not until AFTER we finish the matrix core assigment.

New Mission Type: Artifact Hunt. Hunt down 3 Precursor Keepers that each hold a piece of a key to unlock the Precursor Research Facility. The Precursor Keepers can look like keychains, maybe similar in design to the Combine Gunship from Half Life 2 and their mode of combat is fleeing while attracting nearby glyphids, something like the prospector drones but not exactly the same. Once you get all 3 pieces, you can unlock the Precursor Research Facility and fight the Precursor Guardian boss, which is an entity comprised of many error cubes. After defeating the boss, you bring home the Precursor DNA Container Unit which is basically a bigger version of the inner mechanism of the shaving cream DNA container from Jurassic Park. This is just a random idea that came by and I just want more Precursor lore in DRG. The precursors were hinted to be the creators of the glyphids or just a bunch of dudes that did research on them long ago if any of you are wondering.

P.S. Lost gear STILL gives you it's usual rewards, these lore logs are a bonus.

For example, on the recent anniversary, there were six missions. I have a friend who only completed 4 before it's expired, missing out on the credits and bonuses from completing. Seems kind of silly to not let you finish.
barren echo
Hey guys! I wanna suggest that in SEASON 3. Is it possible for DRG to introduce something like DOOM Boss Fight where we are tasked to fight with the Rival Tech Evil Version of the Driller, Engineer, Gunner or Scout?
The gameplay experience where a team of four fights together to defeat the gigantic version of the Evil Rival Counterparts. I believe this might refresh how we usually play DRG and possibly attract old players back into the game. The gameplay seems to be a bit repetitive and it gets boring after certain playing hours. Feedback in #suggestion-discussion is much appreciated.

Sludge Pump Overclock:
Plutonium Waste Additive [Unstable]
Sludge is now highly radioactive. It will, when covering a bug, cause all nearby bugs to take radiation damage. Sludge puddles will also irradiate a small area around them.
Radiation damage will stack as more bugs are covered in sludge, which dramatically increases effectiveness against hordes.
Radiation AoE should NOT deal self or friendly fire damage (direct hits still should as normal)
The primary downside to this should absolutely include reduced direct damage & DoT when fighting single targets
Possible additional downsides:
Note: This is not an exhaustive or inclusive list; these can be mixed and matched and adjusted by the developers should they find this overclock interesting enough to add
Reduced slowdown effect
Sludge is no longer combustible
Sludge will deal significantly less damage when combusted
Reduced max ammo
Reduced clip size
Reduced fragment count
Increased charge shot cost
Note: Long-term cancer risks associated with this weapon have been disproven by R&D.

I've no idea who is in charge of it, and it probably doesn't matter, assuming someone at GhostShip or CoffeStain(or whoever needs to see it) becomes aware. And please don't get me wrong; I'm not one to watch streams much anyway, so this doesn't affect me personally so much, but I noted something that might be a factor on the timing of your marketing(especially reveal streams). I live in Alaska, and I'm not awake to watch streams at 5 AM. I'm sure there are many people who aren't awake on the Pacific Coast to watch Streams at 6 AM either. If you time it right though, you might actually be able to catch the bulk of the US during waking hours. (I also don't know how far international this game has gone, so if I'm off base with the US-centric commentary, feel free to ignore me entirely.)

Change the current "Distance" based filter to a connection quality system. The Distance is not a good representation of the real connection with the host, as it is easily bypassed by VPN and don't translate to the best servers to connect. For example, I had "CLOSE"/"MEDIUM" servers with connection worse than "FAR" and even some "WORLD" servers, and this is not uncommon.

Test Fighting Arena:
Spawn in different enemies then jump into the arena to fight them. Test out weapons and perks and just practice while waiting to play. Obviously charge credits for each enemy spawned. Maybe even have a death match option. I know this wouldn't matter for people on level 492 with 600 hours in game, but it would be a fun way to experiment and test things and to wait for people to finish a mission before they join you.

An overclock idea for the Drak-25, When overheating the weapon, it shoots out an AOE projectile (Like the EPC's charged shot) that deals a decent amount of direct/ area damage. Downsides would obviously be a loss of direct damage and some ammo as well. Effectively in short, a ranged Aggressive Venting option.
If you wanted to make the Overclock more interesting, make it so as long as you stay within 50% to 100% heat, (A common mechanic of the weapon) the final overheat projectile gets more powerful based on the ammunition consumed, (So only 30 ammo spent before overheat will deal 60 damage, but 100 ammo spent before overheat will deal 200 damage or something like that.)
I could also see this working for the gunner's mini-gun as well, though two aggressive venting options at the same time might be a bit TOO powerful.

Dreadnought carapace and meat materials found by hunting dreadnoughts (duh😂)
Carapace could maybe be used to reinforce your armor and provide a worth it but not too poweful armor boost for your next run, or sold to someone or something for a reward like a bounty. Could have some cosmetic rewards that are wackier than normal cosmetics.
Meat im more set on what it would do, it could be grilled in the bar and the team could consume to get a buff based on what dreadnought it was sourced from
Examples:
Twins - heal yourself and a nearby ally
Hiveguard - Call a glyphid sentinel to battle
Dreadnought - Power attack causes huge magma rock
shockwave just like the boss
Not entirely sure if the abilities would be limited to 1 use and what would be used to activate them when you desire to use them
Please keep in mind this is a really rough idea and that it would be heavily balanced if added to the game, ive had ideas dismissed by players in the past simply stating "that would be op" :D

Save currently active Beer Buff to character file! So the reasoning behind this is have you ever had a buff beer active one of the good ones and than the game crashes you disconnect or for some other reason forced to reload the space rig and poof its gone? Obviously DRG is too stingy to refund your lost barley bulbs however saving the active beer buff to the character progression file Solves that problem and ensures an active buff will persist until it is actually used in a mission! These saved buffs will not stack drinking another buff beer will overwrite the active buff

Could we maybe get some more victory moves that involve Doretta or maybe just something a little bit more than just her head on the floor?
Maybe having a random selected player carrying her in as, like a special easter egg/ victory move that just happens when you play escort missions. ( or for the person who healed her the most )
Have a bosco or small crane carrying her then zips out of the frame as she makes one of her sounds but instead of fear more happy sounding.
Or actually having a victory move where again only a random player carries her and then stops and does like ( the circle of life ) position for a moment as he lets her down or she again gets pulled off screen by something.

A cool anomaly would be missions with increased objectives, like super long mining expeditions or on-site refining with extra morkite wells, or where the morkite wells are much further from the refinery. have to eliminate 5 dreadnaughts, that kind of thing.

Requires at least 2 players. One player is the rival, the others are the DRG squad.
The DRG team have to do a extraction-style mineral hunt within a reasonable time limit.
The rival has to interfere with them - downing them (only temporary), getting glyphids to attack them with pheromone weapons, stealing the stuff they're supposed to collect, yoinking nitra or ammo supplies, changing the terrain in inconvenient ways... Anything to make them run out of time for the mission. The rival has infinite lives but respawns slowly. The DRG team can also respawn but it makes them lose time.

Or trade the ones you have gotten for ones you want at like a 3/1 exchange rate?

Miner's Competition (PVP/PVE Gamemode):
2 Teams (Squads of 4) of miners are deployed into a massive cave systems or areas similar to the ones you find for point extraction
Each team has a set of objectives to complete while waves of enemies flood the area that strengthen in numbers every few minutes.
Objectives could be similar for the teams or unique.
Friendly fire is still enabled for same team members however shooting the opposing miners will only stun/slow them for a moment
Only basic resources can be obtained (Gold, Nitra, Objective objects) to prevent farming the gamemode
When objectives are completed, the team with the completed objective will call their teams drop pod
Once the pod has landed, the opposing team can damage the pod (specific portions) causing the pod to become 'disabled' which much be fixed manually
The opposing team can still complete their objective while sabotaging the other team's pod
The game ends when one team completes their objective and escapes or when all players fall
Will this be considered? Probably not.

When a Scout throws an IFG there's a name above the grenade that shows as it's flying, which is odd considering it's one of the less lethal grenades in DRG. It would be nice to have a toggleable option in settings to add a similar label/display for all other grenades, including a satchel charge. While the dwarves do yell what grenade they're tossing, it would be nice to have a visual representation as well, as sometimes you don't see the tiny boom balls amidst swarms of bugs.

I have helped 5 people discover the game DRG, and each time they try this mission for the first time, they all tell me :
What the fuck is an "Uplink to Mission Control"
They see the rocket icon, which usually means call the escape pod and end the mission.
They see the red button, which usually means call the escape pod and end the mission.
They see some mission indicator inside the rocket, but of course they can't go inside it.
They see the big rectangular battery, but they can't interact with it.
They see mini-M.U.L.E.s, but they can't interact with them.
They are trying to "uplink" something, not press button.
If the game REALLY wanted them to press a button, the mission status would be "press the button", but it's not, so they don't do it, and get frustrated for they first mission.
Usually they do the tutorial, and that mission type goes against almost all of the game design codes that were established in that tutorial.
How about :
- calling the mission status : "press the button"
- using a non-red button to show that pressing it is a non-mission-ending action
drifting marsh
Me and my friends have been tossing around this idea of a new mission type called horde or extermination, where basically it’s either a quota of how many bugs you have to kill or and endless swarm kind of scenario. One of my friends suggested that it could be you clearing out hives of enemies that had gotten too large and are becoming a threat or something along those lines. Either way I think having a constant swarm extermination type game mode would be incredibly fun and filled with high tension moments. Even if it meant that there was a way reduced exp amount for the mission.

Warning idea: Seismic Instability - After a certain amount of time spent in non time-sensitive missions [I.E. missions like Egg Hunt and On-Site Refining, where time management isn't quite as important], the cave will start to have huge earthquakes and debris will fall from the ceiling, which can harm Dwarves. Mission Control will eventually initiate "emergency evacuation protocols" to get the team (or at least the M.U.L.E.) out of the area before the cave collapses completely, instantly ending the mission.

Once you do the season stuff, they become worse than every other mission due to difficulty, duration, less optional bonuses (namely the lack of data cubes, paradoxically leading to less season progress than random events unless you have the daily task for it).

It would be really nice to have some sort of area on the Space Rig for target practicing and testing weapons, since it's pretty annoying to have to go to a mission just to check what the new wep does.

Gold feels useless after awhile now once you get to a certain point. A lot of players get upset when you want too take the time for gold. Perhaps each mission you can use gold acquired within the mission to call down a (BET-C) or other specialty item (gas mask, 3 min of oxygen) this list of specialty items could be huge for clutch saves.
that mission control can send down for short term use and or emergency use. (Limited time only) This gold is deducted from what you would get when you mine specific to that mission. Giving incentives to get gold even on harder hazards or when players have millions of credits anyways.

New Grenade Ideas:
-Tunnel carver for the driller: Throws a teleporting grenade (like longbow grenade in Borderlands) that sticks to the first ennemy or obstacle it hits and then damage/carve in a prismatic shape behind that contact point. If the grenade button is pressed quickly, the grenade will not teleport and will explode from where it was thrown. (This idea is taken and adapted from the board game)
-Tesla Pulsator for the engineer: Throws a tesla coil that electrocute ennemies in a small sphere around it in several delayed pulse. These enemies are then starting point for chain lightning. This grenade can stick to walls and damage enemies through them.
-Hand Shrapnel for the gunner: Throws a lobbing projectile that explodes mid-air and creates a shower of small projectiles in a cone below it. The size (and spread) of the damage can be changed depending of the height of the shrapnel when it explodes. It can also damage enemies behind obstacle if you throw the grenade above it
-Wall amplifier for the scout: Throws a stick grenade that deploy a small energy wall. This wall blocks enemy path and amplify the damage of any friendly projectile going through it. It also blocks enemy projectile which means it can be used as a temporary protective roof against spitters
I made some basic images to illustrate those grenades. You can find them here on Reddit:

New (Secret) Mutation For Any Mission: "Down Under"
- Some once-friendly (or even just passive) bugs, at random, are now openly hostile, but only once you get within a certain distance of them as long as the mutator is active (1/20 chance, does not show you on the Mission Board). Otherwise, they behave like normal. Examples include some Loot Bugs slowly chasing you down and detonating with the force of a Detonator (not bulk, thank god), Silicate Harvesters picking you up and moving you around similarly to a Mactera Grabber, and Mobula Cave Angels swooping down and knocking you about similarly to Shellbacks.
- Bugs afflicted by whatever violent disease causes this look and, once again, act just like their unafflicted counterparts except for maybe one or two deviation(s). Examples include unprovoked Loot Bugs moving over loose minerals but not eating them, pinging them resulting in a confused line along the lines of "It looks like a Loot Bug, but I'm not convinced", and always facing towards the player they're targeting; Mobula Cave Angels circling their to-be-swooped opponent like vultures, and Silicate Harvesters' dangly-bits being lifted off the ground and instead are splayed out and about, like an octopus.
- Killing a bug with this effect for the first time in a mission causes player(s) to shout out and notify others that "Hey! These ones're oddly pissy today!" This only plays once, so be sure to keep an ear open.
- Killing a bug with this effect also counts towards your "Enemies Killed" post-mission bonus.
- Bugs afflicted by this are able to be locked onto with the LOK-1 and show up with a red outline instead of a blue one. So long as you ping 'em.
- Since this mutator is applied without affecting the mutator count, it can be active on missions with two mutators already present.

Add inclusivity options to the game - colorblind mode and/or additional subtitles for those hard of hearing or completely deaf, or otherwise unable to play with color or sound.
Currently, there's no colorblind mode, which is unfortunate, as color is a defining/identifying trait of several minerals (nitra, gold, aquarg, jadiz, compressed gold...) and objectives (e.g. burst pipelines, active beamers, every single weak spot...).
The current audio subtitles only include Dwarf voicelines - there's no closed captions for important sound cues (i.e. Glyphid Menace growls, Bulk Detonator growls, the beeping of a lost helmet, the 'chest/backpack discovered' sound, the audio cue of an egg being collected, boss fight sound cues, the beeping of a mini-mule...)

Potential Final-Tier Upgrades for the Scout’s Grappling Hook:
”Glyphid Y.E.E.T. Launching System”
- Reduces hook retract speed by 50%
- Allows the hook to be embedded in unarmored portions of glyphid grunts/swarmers
- When hook is retracting with payload attached, moving or turning around will accelerate the incoming hook and payload accordingly. I.e. hooking a grunt and moving oneself while turning can cause said grunt payload to enter a spinning state like a tetherball
- Once hook is fully retracted or user releases Mouse1, the payload is decoupled and is ragdolled. It takes damage upon colliding with a wall while in flight, and said damage increases exponentially with velocity.
Good for single target damage or maybe getting a bug away from you. Depends on how you wanna use it.
”Downgrade Doesn’t Mean Downplay”
- Increases operational length by 10m
- Instead of pulling the user towards the point of impact, the grappling hook now acts as an actual grappling hook: a long rope/wire that you can swing on
- After being planted into the terrain, the rope does not begin retracting unless Mouse1 is not pressed, and pressing Mouse1 again will halt its retracting. Using the WASD keys while hanging from the hook allows you to swing yourself to a degree. Gravity also can swing you to a much greater extent, though slamming into any walls or the ground will deal fall damage relative to your velocity.
Good for using momentum to traverse caves, avoid swarms (until you get shot by a bug), or keeping you alive after both of your Special Compound shots are spent.

I would like the option to pause in multiplayer games like you can in singleplayer. Nothing worse than your doorbell ringing during a Deep Dive, etc., and the team wiping as a result of you having to get up.
I'd be fine with constraints on it. Limited number of pauses (either per game or per person), only host can pause, or players have to all agree to pause in order to pause. Or it could be an option the host has to enable (or only works in friends' lobbies), so that people who don't want pause can avoid it.
Even "you can pause as long as nobody is in combat" would be a reasonable constraint.
frank kindle
A form of Rival Dreadnought, a shambling spider like tank. Broken and beaten by bugs and other threats around Hoxxes IV, it only has a small chance of showing up. Maybe half of bet-c's chance. You can fix it after its defeated but its very slow but it kills bugs like a hot knife through butter. When it is approaching mission control would say "Team I'm seeing a spike in Rival energy signatures.. Its bigger than I have ever seen, guns up boys this might get messy". It would have a few main attacks, one is just a simple explosive thrown towards the players, this attack will stop the tank while it prepares to shoot giving you a sign to move. The other main attack is a non lethal shot, creating a small area where gravity is nonexistent your dwarf might yell "I've always wanted to fly but this is not the right time!" The tank will attempt to shoot you while you are in the air. Attempt to get up-close to the monstrosity and you'll be smacked by a half ton claw. (image attached is the closest thing I can think of to what it might look like)

New mission type
Prospecting
This area had been chosen for placing our new planetary scanners. They are autonomous and do not require defences while they work, but their deployment disturbs the locals like any other drilling we do. Your job is to make sure that the mechanisms will not be gnawed and stuffed with bugs' corpses before prospecting can begin.
Cave generation is like on industrial sabotage or elimination: several well defined rooms with places for big things like our usual cargo rockets. Right after we arrive, the countdown for first scanner to arrive begins, its mark appears like for extraction, and we should prepare the place before it comes down. Then, bugs start to attack.
The simplest version of deployment phase is like hacking: the scanner-pod slowly opens up automatically unless something is jammed by the bugs. The more difficult one requires one dwarf to open the pod up manually, basically "repairing" it mid-swarm, so the team should cover him up much like bomb carrying on tritilyte. May also include other actions like standing on platforms for OMEN.
Anyway, after the thing is finished, it allows us to press the button to summon the second/third one, and the last scanner similarly calls the droppod to escape. Or all calls could be done through the M.U.L.E.

I'm always a bit confused as to why the drop pod has to be so far away from the dwarves, when ending any mission. That said, I absolutely love the rush of running for the drop pod before it leaves. It kind of reminds me of my first time blowing up the halo ring back in Halo. I think a mission type that cashes in on that frantic dash to the drop pod could be an incredible experience. I feel it could be called "Demolition", "Cave in", or just "Bury Rival". "Rival tech has grown to powerful to destroy, I guess leaving their shield battery's exposed was something they would improve on eventually, So lets bring the whole damn cave down on top of the tin cans."
**1.)**The team would be given a special mule which would carry a massive bomb on top of its back. You would escort it to a room at the very end of the cave system and use it to detonate a exposed weak point.
2.) With the core of the cave system crumbling, you would have to back track and continue caving in the previous rooms by shooting newly exposed weak points. Rival tech would immerge to stop this from happening and the wild life would spring out from their burrows in a panic as the whole cave begins to shake.
3.) With the entire cave system coming down, any dwarf left behind in the previous cave would become unreachable without mining into the wrecked room.

It's called fortification
To make along explanation short
- You'll start in a large room similar to the on site refining or point extraction missions but there is a large tunnel to one of the side's
- Mining platforms and excavation equipment will be deployed and need to be setup
- One of the platforms will give you supplies to beginning construction heavy gun turrets and a large wall to prevent bug form getting through (this won't stop wave's)
- Upon finishing the mission the drop pod will not spawn and you'll have to wait for the new elevator to reach your position
The dialog that will go with it will be explaining that large veins of ore have been found and you are been sent in to fortify the site for a future large scale mining operation
That will involve automated robot's to mine and processes the resources before sending the up in the elevator

So. I have this idea for a new class, that I imagine could be used for DLC. (I love supporting you guys, this game is too good, lol)
First: The method to unlock this new class would involve several missions, maybe even demanding doing a higher difficulty. Each mission would have Easter eggs, or hints rather, towards the new class.
Second: The class itself would be the infamous "Karl" of legend. Now, I like to believe he truly was a unit of a dwarf, and having had to survive alone on Hoxxes for so long, he's developed a few new tricks.
- His utility item would be a pheromone he can use on himself, or throw at big enemies to make the small ones attack him to draw agro.
- His utility weapon would be some type of explosive, or medical device. Either immediate healing, or allowing him to help his fellow dwarves up at a distance. At that rate, maybe give it a similar mechanic to the drone hacking when reviving them.
- His main weapon I'm not certain on, though I'm thinking something explosive that damages environment almost as well as the Gunner's basic grenade.
- His secondary, I think, would be really cool if it were a melee weapon. And it could fit well to the lore of the alcohol he's mentioned with. Maybe even give that drink a special affect for the weapon.
As for grenades, more flares called "sticky flares," that stay where they land, and have double the time as normal recharging flares. (Again could fit well with his lore, having found a way to use Glyphid guts as an almost glue) "Ammo packs" that would act as a full reload of bullets for their main gun. (Or maybe like an eighth, in the gunner's chaingun's case) And maybe incendiary grenades, causecwho doesn't like fire?
His initial appearance would look something akin to Rambo.

Deep - Far below the surface where the climate is very different
Rock - Mining rocks and stones with special properties and uses
Galactic - It's in space... And that's kind of it
Why don't we make the whole 'Galactic' part of DRG a bit more interesting. We could have other planets with special resources and different enemies, we could have special missions where you have to fight off rival drones and technology in space, with bespoke ships and weapons. We could even have a whole star system to explore!
Obviously these are absolutely huge ideas which will likely take years to even put into beta. However, even just a small change like a neat cinematic when travelling to the mining site (and no, I'm not talking about that boring animation that isn't even that well made that you get while you watch the painfully slow loading bars move.) Just anything to make the game really have that spacey feel to it.

A variant of the Praetorian similar to the charger from L4D2
Body is similar to a glyphid grunt (but larger), but the legs are similar to that of an antelope. There would be a good amount of armor on the head for the purpose of ramming, but minimal armor on the body and legs. It would have around 500 hp, with a weakpoint in the same spot praets do. After it emerges from the ground, it strolls around, and charges at a dwarf on sight. When charging, it can barely turn, and it does a good amount of damage + launches the dwarf that is hit. It slows down when nearing a cliff or wall, but if it crashes into a wall, it takes damage

Disclaimer: I’m not sure if this is already in the game, but I don’t see any visible stats nor anything in the bestiary.
The idea: Biome Specific Creatures
I know this already exists in the form of Praetorians, Goo Bombers, Exploders, and Maggots. But what about grunts, slashers, guards, etc? Sure, they have visual changes but I don’t see any stat changes.
Grunts found in the Glacial Strata would have a strength towards freeze damage but a weakness to fire and heat, Magma Core vise versa. Radioactive Exclusion Zone variants would be strong towards radiation damage. More exploder variants would be cool too. Ice exploders or maybe even exploders with flammable gas in the fungus bogs.
Conclusion: Of corse, leave the default dudes in the other biomes but I think these biome specific weaknesses and strengths would diversify the different biomes more.
PS: If this is already in the game, please put it in the bestiary for clarity’s sake. Because of right now, I can only confirm visual differences.

CRSPR Overclock:
Manual Pilot Light [Balanced]
Premise:
Gives the player manual control over ignition of flamethrower fuel by allowing them to toggle the flamethrower pilot light.
Intended use:
Coating enemies and areas in fuel allows for massive burst damage upon ignition, with the fuel exploding in high enough concentrations OR some time after being sprayed (either of these mechanics could be implemented).
In short: An overall damage increase in exchange for planning and preparation and slower reaction times (as either you do less damage or spray with fuel then ignite, which takes time)
Specific & Possible stats:
Manual control of flamethrower fuel ignition
Bonus damage when fuel is ignited after leaving the flamethrower
High concentrations of fuel explode upon ignition
Reduced direct flame damage
Afterburn from direct flames has a shorter duration

digital ether
Scout GK2 Overclock: Dense Rounds . . . large (not TOO large, guys) increase in base dmg, slight (+75) ammo increase no weakpoint dmg bonus, slower strafing speed while shooting . . . basically a GK2 overclock that allows you to kill glyphid grunts, slashers, guards in larger numbers just like the other classes (atm, it takes 7 body shots from the GK2 to take out a Haz 5 grunt, since you have limited ammo to begin with missed weakpoint shots are very lacklustre) Edit: Just thought about this but it would synergize well with the t5 speed boost on kill mod

New engi weapon oc(the one coming out): Heat overdrive, When the weapon overheats it blasts with small aoe in front of it and does fire damage. Downsides would be less ammo and longer reheat time.
New gunner weapon oc(the one coming out): environmental energy displacement, the more material you shoot thru the more damage u do, downsides would be longer reload time and slightly less damage
fiery hearth
This has only been suggested a few times, but a performance benchmark for the game might help in gauging performance from system to system, I imagine the game would do a fly over of a peaceful, pre-generated cave before some dwarves and bugs show up to cause some havoc and see if your graphics card's up to snuff

Mutator: Lush Control
Mission Control forgot to take a sip of Leaf Lovers before the mission. As such, his advice may be erroneous and his aim shaky.
- Mission Controls regular dialogue is replaced with a drunken version that spews amusing 'advice' and incorrectly warns of swarms (e.g. swarmers when it's a dreadnaught).
- Drop pods now land +50-100m further away, if able. This also applies to hacking stations.
- Resupply pods arrive within 20m of the place they were ordered.
- Molly prefers to walk on ceilings and walls instead of floors when returning to the drop pod.
- Timed events are harder, either lasting longer (calibration, hacking) or being shorter (drop pod liftoff).
arctic jay
stubby clean overclock that adds a funny little suppressor on the gun model, new fire sounds, and makes enemies not attracted to the sound of your gun.
tight mango
Snowball Overclock makes the cyro cannon behave like corrosive sludge pump with new projectiles
normal shots have the same size of normal sludge pump projectiles
charge shot size is equal to current snowball size
normal shots have a 1.5 meter splash and do 10 dam,age and are able to freeze grunts
charged shots costs 20 ammo, have a 3.5 meter splash, do 25 damage and are able to freeze praetorians
flowrate increases charge rate
depending on freeze power you can freeze oppressors in 2-3 charge shots
3 charge shots and 2 normal shots needed for a dreadnaught but you have to fire quickly and not miss. low charge and/or freeze power may make this impossible
charged shots use the same ammo but take 30% pressure
repressurization delay increased by 0.3 seconds and retains ammo reduction
benefit: freeze from farther away and better at freezing things perpendicular to the user. able to freeze large targets reliably for a significant amount of ammo
downside: takes more skill to use and doesn't work well with cold radiance but will when charging, may have less overall freezing. projectiles obey gravity

A new glyphid dreadnought.
Perhaps an older dreadnought which has had certain flora grown into it's exoskeleton, providing a need to burn it off somehow. Id like to think that certain flora that has embedded itself into the armor of this dreadnought would act as a symbiote that protects the host with large quick moving tendrils.
plain stream
The forefathers' axes. two melee axes that are a secondary weapon for the Driller that does heavy damage against enemy very small enemies all the way up to praetorians. But anything bigger than a praetorian will suffer little damage unless hit in a weak spot. And has a power attack that can be upgraded to have elemental damage.

uneven sinew
Overclock for Gunner Hurricane: Belt-Feed Mechanism. Unstable overclock; fire rate increases as you fire to a maximum of 400%, and no reloads required, but each consecutive missile fired without a pause of at least three seconds adds a cumulative 0.1% chance to jam the gun. (e.g., after 10 missiles, the next fired has a 1% chance to jam, after 100 the chance is 10%) A jam requires a six-second reset for you to clear the feed before you can resume firing, resetting both fire rate and jam chance

All the base upgrades for the base weapons really need a rework, like the gk2 +1 damage per shot or +100 max ammo its a no-brainer, its just weird and seems like not much thought was put into it, and the screenshot below has the subta-120 deal extra burning damage to burning targets making it a useless upgrade for 2 of drillers primary's, like have it do +5% damage to any creature with a status effect, there are many upgrades like this scattered around that just dont make sense and are downright unusable in most cases, I guess they feel disconnected.

A cool but probably not very plausible idea is for people at a certain level to play as mission control, you see the entire game through the terrain scanner, some areas would be pre-explored for you in the scanner like near objective, some things you could do is
-call in a supply drop for cheeper
-switch to the bodycams like you can when your downed
-warn of waves on the terrain scanner since your able to see nearby enemies
-have a cozy job
Maybe take some money/split the money between all the dwarfs if they requested it from you personally to call down bet-C's, or a reviving b.o.s.c.o that will revive somebody if everyone is downed, once it revives somebody it's destroyed
they can maybe also call the drop-pod down in better places, from 3 random drop pod locations
Yeah I didn't think people would like it, just thought it was interesting
daring portal
Guys, I think that it will be great to develop the idea of infected enemies like bet-c, and add a special mission where our dwarves will go into "the quarantine zone" with infected drones and bugs. For example, their aim would be sporozoans infecting everything in caves
lilac mason
Hello, i have two suggestions that kind of popped into my head the other day that i think would be extremely cool to see in the game.
1.) praetorians are awesome, big armor, big mouth, and big breath (most likely stinky as common knowledge by dwarves). When it comes to their design I love how they adapt to the different biomes. Like how they can be standard green, blue/icy in glacial strata, or radioactive in the exclusion zone. But I would love to see them be red in Magma core. I would love to see them spew fire from their mandibles and when killed leave a pool of lava behind. I think that would be a better fit for the map and also be reminiscent of dragons. Dwarves, dragons we know how that works:).
2.) i would love to hear 3-D audio in the game. Everyone who has ever visited a cave has tried to hear their own echo and i think this would heavily enhance the immersion in the game just imagine going into Azure Wield on a morkite run and tossing a flare into a Huuuuuge open cavern and hearing the clink of it hitting the ground reverberate all around you. That would make the levels even more jaw dropping and epic.

Karl saves you instead and you wake up surrounded by dead bugs, a pickaxe in the stone or whatever type of ground, a mysterious colored flare, and while in black screen you hear a mysterious voice say rock and stone, and the pickaxe can be a reward named Karl's pickaxe (last three are my addition to the idea. I just think it would be a cool addition)

Make the M.U.L.E. only able to go to the drop pod where the dwarfs go

so i was having my daily shower where i turn the bathroom into a steam room, and i got an idea. you know how clean overclocks give one or two buffs but their small ones with no downsides, balanced ones give better buffs but with downsides, and unstable ones can be some of the strongest ingame but with much bigger downsides? well my idea was this: in order to make some promotions useful, we limit which overclocks you can get. now before you get upset let me explain: when you get your first promotion, you would still be able to get matrix cores and overclocks, but you would only be able to get clean overclocks. when you get your second promotion, you would be able to get balanced overclocks, and then at promotion three you would be able to get unstable overclocks, to sort of show how your dwarf is learning about overclocks, starting off with the simple ones that dont do much but are good, the ones where their better but have downsides, requiring you to use specific upgrades to fix the downsides, and the op ones that let you commit war crimes but at the same time must be done a specific way or used a certain way. a side effect of this system, is if you got your first promotion and then grinded out machine events, you would have a much higher chance at getting specific clean overclocks that you want, and if you get them all before getting your second promotion, you would get a higher chance of getting the balanced overclocks you want, because the rng pool wouldnt be sorting through unstable, balanced, clean, and the one you want, and like before if you get all the balanced ones before promotion three, you get a higher chance at getting the unstable overclocks you want because you would already have the clean and balanced overclocks unlocked, so the rng pool would be limited to the unstable overclocks that you can get, and the one you want. this would make promotions much more useful rather than being just clout, and make getting the overclocks we want a lot easier.

I know it was suggested ages ago, but hear me out!
It would be great to have female dwarves for lots of reasons I probably don't need to prattle on about. My understanding is that it hasn't been implemented yet because it would be a big undertaking to 'double-up' on all of the cosmetics.
I think it's important to reconsider adding female dwarves because 'doubling-up' on the cosmetics is a false assumption! Female dwarves have no reason to wear different equipment than the men, so there's no need for creating new armor for them.
At most, an argument could be made to add a bust to armor models that look like cloth or leather. Instead of adding a new 'layer' of cosmetics, these exceptions could be accommodated by adding in a free duplicate (eg: MK1a Scout Suit vs MK1b Scout Suit)
I think it could be added to the lore without too much fuss, too. Situations happen, why keep our strongest dwarves at home? Now that I think of it, I think I'm going to bring it up with the Miner's Union...

Armor overclocks anyone?
Some ideas:
"Energy booster"
Allows you to do a mid-air burst that sends you a bit up.
Reduced shield capacity
"Unstable fear module"
Can apply fear to some enemies when shield breaks.
(Honestly searching for suggestion on downsides, feel free to ping me in #suggestion-discussion )
"Bloody ammo"
After dealing n-damage gain n%of ammo to the random gun you have.
Less health, your guns do a bit less damage
"Red sugar containment"
You can now overheal, which will store red sugar in a special thing.
This sugar you can either dispense to your teammates, heal yourself, or heal Steeve.
(P.S. Max amount of red sugar is prob 25% of your max health)
You have less health, armor, and you have -5-10 mineral storage.
"Ore detector"
This one is special.
You can consume all your current shield charge (can be used on "shield disruption") to do a scan for resourses. This will highlight them in different colors, and they will be saved on your terrain scanner, but your shield will be unable to charge for a few seconds, making you vulnerable. This ability has cooldown.
"Radiant covering"
You constantly emit light around you, which is kinda bright.
Less shield charge, bugs target you more aggressively.
"Focused shielding"
You take less damage from the front, and can deflect projectiles.
You take more damage from behind.
"Exp converter"
You get more exp after completing a mission
You will get less credits after a mission
(Space ran out 💀)

💡 I know the developers, and a large portion of the community are against overclocks or greater customization to the utility items to the game. I agree with changing the movement items to the classes would be awful. However, each class has 2 utility items. more non movement oriented utility items would be interesting and I would argue wouldn't hurt the game. Some examples I've come up with: engineer could have a flying drone as an alternative to the turret. I see it as a very basic Bosco, only able to follow you and being able to shoot things. Gunner could have an invisibility ability as an alternative to his shield. I could see it being similar to the buffs of iron will.

Fail "poses" with biome specific effects. Hollow bough should leave dwarfs with thorns everywhere, goo and snow for fungus and glacial, tralis of sand and salt and such like. The only trouble is weald (and maybe biozone) which seems to have neither evironmental hazards, nor something distiguishable to stick to dwarves.

I have been having a couple good ideas on how to make perks more interesting instead of just having goddamn + "number"%
for example "Strong arm", more throw range, kinda boring. But in that same spirit, since you have strong arms, make it so you can catch stuff mid-air for example (you can't do that at the moment), like grabbing an egg mid-air. OR another thing, what if strong arm let you grab the ledge twice, instead of only once, so you can do some sick parkour
another perk example "Unstoppable", what if instead of the current 50% resistance, it actually did the thing that it's named as, like, After running for 3-4 seconds you gain full immunity to environmental slow-down effects (also gives a fun synergy with the other perk that gives 14% speed bonus)
deft owl
suggestion to add to kick options an option that says the guy might be trying to throw the game. being marked for that too many times when kicked would have the marked player be forced to finish one solo game or more to be able to continue multiplayer. maybe make it a solo game of whatever game mode they were flagged for throwing the most. and to avoid abuse, give such option a major cooldown so it can't be used in quick succession.
velvet drum
I feel like the armour you purchase should do something like protect you more, rather than just bring cosmetics. For instance, there is no difference between a mark 4 and a mark 5 armour other than appearance, and considering the cost of armour seems like a waste. Or maybe special armour can show up in the forge, overclocking armour 🛡️ instead of useless cosmetics.

LOK-1 Unstable Overclock Idea : SMRT AI Targeting System
"Practically a handheld sentry gun, an assault rifle that aims on its own! Sensor is attached with a portable CPU rig and battery to further enhance its target locking capability, complete with custom-tooled rotational barrel. No aiming or thinking needed, just point and fire!"
- Scanner always on (Click to fire as normal)
- Targeting Module will aim at target's weakspot if it's reachable
- Significantly faster shot charging
- Can only track one target at a time
- Maximum track reduced
- Bullets no longer curve
Note : Can already see several problems with this, but well, what unstable OC doesn't come with its luggage of issues, eh? Still, I always fancied the Smart Gun from Aliens - A machine gun that aims on its own is like a weapon manufacturer's wet dream there.

Custom deep dives:
Probably has been suggested before but it would be fun if players could set up their own deep dives with custom lengths, the ability to include/exclude certain mutations, control difficulty variety, mission types and lengths, and possible biomes. I know most deep dives only stay in ONE biome but this can exist as a "Let's see how far we can go maintaining ammo and health between missions with every increasing difficulty (probably maxing out 5.5 but still). Obviously since people can just make a really easy golden bugs/swarmaggedon run to grind money it should either no or very very decreased rewards for completion. I just think this might be fun and could even lead into two teams of people seeing who can go the furthest. Again I am sure something similar to this has been picthed before but it just sounds entertaining.

All of this, but a new one only every month, BUT, you can replay it for rewards every week, so you can get better and know what's coming, in order to get farther.

A new drink of the day! Mover's Mocha. A delightful blend of coffee liquor, energy drink, and PLENTY of added sugar. The ensuing mix of a sugar rush, and caffeine boost gives the dwarves a 10% move speed buff for the next mission (yes, this can stack with rich atmosphere)

It would be interesting to see a 'base-building' style mission. For example, sending in a team of dwarves to set up a long-range scanner outpost. The dwarves dive in a standard pod, then search for a suitable LZ for the outpost. Once it lands they have to defend it while also finishing the setup manually. Perhaps needing to set up antennae around the outpost. It would be interesting to make the number of antennae required depend on how efficiently the dwarves install them, allowing for multiple approaches to setting them up. For example, leaf-lovers might just throw a dozen around the outpost, whereas the more efficient dwarves might set up 3 or 4 at peak efficiency

Variating factors for the Ommoran Heartstone and Caretaker boss battles
OMEN Platforms have the randomized modules, but Ommorans and Caretakers always have the same phases each time (at least Heartstones do, I think Caretakers don't always have the same phases each mission)
Point is, Ommorans and Caretakers feel a bit repetitive to me at this point and maybe need more spice

Another Drink of the day concept: Mysterious Malt. When ordered, Each mug has a random OTHER Drink of the day. Unsure if it'd have a special Mysterious Malt Mug, with a logo for the other drinks, or if it'd just give the other drinks flat out. Up to the devs. Upon drinking one, the effect will not go away until a mission ends. It cannot be stacked with another drink from the table, meaning you can't Chug the drink on the counter, then buy more rounds until you get the right one.
If a round has already been ordered, and a mission hasn't been completed since then, all rounds will be replaced with Leaf Lovers, to prevent using one dwarf as a trash can to chug all the bad drinks, while the other players hunt for the perfect drink of the day.

A couple more ideas (mostly for fun)…
Grunt Guard: ”Resilient sons of..ungh.”
Grunt Slasher: “Argh, that slasher’s gonna leave a mark…”
Friendly Fire: “Sorry if I was in the way, but yeOW!” :; “Are you blind, or a bloody elf?!”

Name: Vermillion Bowels
"This time we're sending employees into the belly of the beast. R&D is still baffled as to how such massive pockets of organic material are able to form and survive Hoxxes, but where most people see red, Management sees Green."
Terrain: Red and almost flesh like. Due to it being softer, fall damage is reduced by 20%, but it is still tough to break through, so mining terrain would take 3 hits.
Cave leeches and Acid Spitters far more likely to spawn here.

ENDLESS TYPE MISSIONS !
The longer you stay, the more rewards you get, but also more dangerous the caves become.
Will you leave to safety with your already acquired stuff now? Or risk it to stay even longer and get even more loot ?!?
You can finish the mission anytime you want, but at which point you want to ?!?
Endless mission ideas:
-
- Endless mining; keep mining deeper and deeper for more stuff, but the deeper you go, the more dangerous and hazardous the mining becomes.
-
- Endless hack: Keep hacking a massive data vault for more and more loot, but as the time goes on, more and more defense bots will arrive to stop the players.
Look at Warframe's defense and survival mission types for inspiration and idea.

Ability to see important timers or status bars (e.g. hacking progress, heartstone progress, boss health). Currently, you can't see these, making it hard to gauge how an event is progressing whilst downed.
-
Ability to switch between third person view and first person view when downed. This can help reduce the disorientation from switching back to first person view when you revive (important for dealing with immediate threats around you or when using perks like Iron Will).
-
Bosco's revival is significantly sped up or made more consistent - either by having him approach the player much faster, or by having the shock-revival be faster. Currently, it can vary in time tremendously based on his AI or distance from you, which can cause problems for certain things like leeches or events in progress.
-
Ability to laser-ping things when downed can help you communicate with your team-mates (or get their attention) beyond yelling for help - e.g. warn them of leeches.
-
Iron Will improvements - ability to see when it's about to run out / track it's timer, ability to see when it was used by a player in chat log, ability to see if another player has access/used the ability or not.
-
Ability to very slowly crawl whilst downed. This helps avoid situations where a dwarf is unreachable by their team-mates (e.g. scout on an unreachable ledge), or reposition from problematic places where being revived is janky.
-
Ability to 'break free' from Mactera Grabbers or Sand-Sharks after a certain amount of time has passed. Both enemies can carry/drag you around for an unreasonable amount of time (30-60+ seconds) without downing or damaging you, which is more annoying than hazardous.
-
When viewing another downed dwarf, only outline the parts of the model that the player can interact with to revive them. Currently, weapons are also outlined, despite not allowing you to revive a dwarf by mousing over them.

Machine Event - Fungal Poppers
Event happens near a wall/floor full of metal-covered hatches and a machine linked to them. The hatches are tunnels infested by a obstructing fungus that needs to be removed. The game is effectively a whack-a-mole game where the team has to kill every fungus as they pop out of each hatch until all hatches are cleared. The fungi glow like weak spots, and taking too long to attack them makes them shoot acid/summon swarmlings and pop back into the hatch.

Gunner Lead Stormn Balanced Overclock Suggestion
An OC that converts bullets into timed explosive darts that attach to bugs. The direct hits do 1% direct damage, but the explosions are great for the delayed damage that goes off quickly.
The downside would probably be a Rate of Fire decrease and the possibility of bugs dying to allies before your bombs work.

Mission Idea: Broodmother Elimination
By reverse engineering the remains of Prospector Drones, management has figured out how to pinpoint the location of a Glyphid Broodmother within its nest. Clearing out the entire nest would be an expensive suicide mission, but surgical elimination of the broodmother is just crazy enough to work.
The mission revolves around a mobile fortress designed to give the team a bubble of... less danger in order to reach and destroy the broodmother. The fortress and its weaponry has a variety of repulsive tech (predominantly fear effects) making it the safest place to be during the mission, so long as supplies last. The fortress has 3 "health" bars: Durability, Fuel, and Nitra.
Nitra: Used to supply the fortress armaments. If the fortress runs out of nitra, its ability to deter bugs is crippled and the dwarves are likely to get overwhelmed. The fortress has 3 special stations relating to Nitra. At the fore and the aft of the fortress are resupply LZs where a resupply pod can be called to dock. Once the sleeves of ammo are retrieved, the pod is jettisoned so that a new one can be docked. The third station is near the center of the fortress, where a button can be used to call a resupply for the fortress armaments.
Fuel: Similar to the dozer missions, the fortress uses oil shale for additional fuel while progressing. Unlike the dozer, the fortress is designed to keep moving no matter what, so it can be refueled while moving. Each of 4 fuel cells (2 port, 2 starboard) can be pulled at any time to collect oil shale and reinserted.
Durability: Typically minor repairs from a few rogue bugs or errant blasts of acid, unless supplies start to run out (or the broodmother is encountered). It would be ideal for different armor sections to have unique durability so that the damage/repair feels meaningful, especially if that section of armor/cover is lost if destroyed.

Increase the stun mod chance for the Hurricane from 25% to 40%, the minigun's stun mod gives a 40% stun chance. It doesn't make sense balance wise for a weapon that fires thousands of rounds to give 40% stun chance while a weapon with less ammo and less rate of fire only gets 25%.

Sludge Cannon OC Suggestion, Toxic Hangover
“A chance accident of smuggling some Abyss Bar in with your slime barrel, and now you have inadvertently invented a cocktail in a cannon!”
Sludge and Sludge Puddles will inflict random status effects

I don’t know how exactly it would be implemented, but it’d be interesting if occasionally there could be a mission where there’s an intergalactic government worker monitoring the dwarves alongside mission control to check on their working conditions, like a space osha/department of labor worker, and mission control has to make things more lenient for the dwarves to impress them with something like cheaper supply pods etc. Maybe make it an anomaly and call it federal inspection, though it’s kind of weird so it’s probably just better as an idea.

Sanity warning: Similar to the Low Oxygen warning, Sanity warning could have something like a gas being present in the area that induces sensitivity to stress. Being alone and being attacked by Glyphids forces stress to rise and at maximun stress, your health is reduced by 50% and you are slowed by 30%. Visiting resupply and being in company reduces stress. Bosco reduces stress and playing solo, you have to be careful when sending Bosco out to do errands far away from you as you could easily reach maximum stress.

New Grenade Ideas (V2)
I recently shared some grenade ideas and, after gathering some feedback, I decided to reiterate on them. Here's what I got:
— Uranium Pulsator (Engi): Throws a deployable radiation source which pulsates with small delays between each pulse. Enemies in the radiation zone gets a DoT and their radiation meter starts filling up. At 100% radiation, the enemy becomes a small radiation source for a brief time
— Tunnel Carver (Driller): For those who remember it, this is the exact same thing as version 1 of my ideas. When thrown, the tunnel carver teleports (similarly to borderlands' longbow grenade) to the first enemy or obstacle it hits. Then, it will explode in a rectangular area in front of it, damaging enemies and carving terrain.
— Flashbang Shrapnel (Gunner): It has a high angle trajectory and exploded mid-air. After it's explosion, bullets rain down in a cone below it which damages and stuns enemies
— Amplifier Wall (Scout): It is a deployable energy wall which blocks enemy path and projectiles while amplfying the damage of friendly projectiles going through it.
Like last time, I made some basic images to show how they work. They can be found here on Reddit:

Why not add the very few "eyes only" cosmetics (goggles, night vision, IR sight) to the eyebrow menu? It was a pain to have to shave my dwarf's head to use the IR sight before I got the better one with the hair.

In that same vein, add a limited use vision that, for example, acts as night vision, or highlights terrain, or highlights minerals nd shit
Something that has a battery that recharges with resupplies
For example:
Gunner gets highlighted enemies
Scout gets night vision
Engineer gets highlighted terrain (basically contour markings)
Driller gets highlighted minerals (through walls uo to a certain depth)

Vertically placable platforms for engineer, so they can easily be used for area denial in tunnels and open caves (for example to stop bugs from using the walls with bug repellant on the doretta missions, or to cover up a hole you came out of in compressed dirt)
Basically just being able to rotate the nozzle to place differently oriented platforms (horizontal/vertical)
stark void
For that matter, OCs for the transport items would be super cool. Imagine one for the driller that made his drilling actually faster than walking, or one for scout that made him damage nearby enemies on touchdown, or even something simple like letting people stay in one place on the zip lines.

Ok once again, I get that the developers are really into the random gear drops but I have now gotten 17 Overclocks and have not gotten a single weapon Overclock for my main class (I have gotten a couple cosmetic ones and then 15 for other classes).
PLEASE make it so you can trade Overclocks with other players. Or grind toward (specific) Overclocks. Or sell Overclocks for your desired one at a 3-to-1, or 5-to-1, or 10-to-1 ratio. Or be guaranteed to get one for the class you had selected when you completed the Deep Dive. Or be guaranteed to get one for the class you had selected when you completed the Forge Mastery. Or be able to select which one you get for every fifth one you obtain. Or have a higher chance of getting one for classes you have promoted.
You get the idea. I'm not picky and I am fine with a primarily random loot system, I would just love to get to use a non-cosmetic Overclock at some point in this game.

allow for super vertical and or super narrow spots to generate in caves, would be cool to fight in a super wide crack in the ground or a super deep ravine like structure. Tunnels are great but there's more to caves then just tunnels.

Homebrew powder mods and OCs should always roll either the max or min damage multiplier.
Implications:
-
Neuron activation. I see the big number more often which grows my beard. The range between the min and max will make homebrew powder more pronounced.
-
Average damage remains the same. Use of homebrew powder becomes a game of hitting damage breakpoints for bold dwarves.
There's some icky math in what guns benefit more from this change versus what's downgraded on a percentage basis upon what their shooting. I will ignore most of that for now because my brain is only big enough to hold two numbers.
- Homebrew powder is currently unpopular and in need of change. With this adjustment, management may motivate more than 1% of dwarves to start handloading their ammunition again, which will lead to a marked increase of misfires, explosions, and savings.

If the player makes their way to the Ommoran Heartstone before activating the Drilldozer, Mission Control will say some unique voice lines. Here are some that I have in mind:
-
“Congratulations, you made it to the Ommoran Heartstone. You didn’t happen to activate the Drilldozer did you? It’s the only way we can get that core after all. That’s why we sent it down there with you.”
-
“Management will be pleased to find out that you have successfully made it to the Ommoran Heartstone without the use of a Drilldozer. They will also be disappointed if you came back with nothing.
-
“The Drilldozer is meant to drill to the Ommoran Heartstone for you. Apparently, it seems you can do that yourself. Unfortunately, you still need the Drilldozer to extract the core.”
-
“Did you forget to activate the Drilldozer on your way here? Well, now you have to go all the way back and start it. You need the Drilldozer to extract the core.”
-
“You seem to have left something behind. Ah, yes! The Drilldozer that came with you, that you need to extract the core.”

can we get a QOL, number tracker on how meny overclocks there are for each gun, i think it would be useful to know how meny there are in each gun to acquire total, just a little 0 out of 6 then when you have them all it says 6/6, something like that, as i dont know when i have all of them for specific guns
even just a blank locked box would help, and then when unlocked they turn to there respective overclock, just so you can see how many there are total for each weapon

Sludge pump OC idea:
-Living Sludge
Projectiles act normal but you get less on charge shots.
Sludge puddles on surfaces become 'sentient' and move towards the closest target. They will continuously chase them slowly till they despawn.
The idea behind this overclock is to extend the usage of the sludge pump's puddles, by making them mobile.
Stats: Up to the developers.
patent narwhal
Sludge pump OC: Quick Set Waste
Sludge pump shots that do not land on bugs create small corrosive platforms that break with time and use, similar to salt platforms.
Any bugs that touch these platforms will have the corrosive puddle effect applied.
Charge shots make larger platforms than normal shots
Charge shots no longer split into many projectiles upon impact if they hit the ground.
Much fun and parkour to be had

Better idea then just a flamethrower but lightning. Make a lightning rod launcher. Shoot a lightning rod that can deal a large amount of direct damage towards single targets, as well as sticking to them and shocking bugs around the lightning rod. Could be a great idea for an overclock to a lightning spitter type weapon, maybe the impact axe could work as the lightning rod

You know, got an idea on how to not only add the idea of “Kill X amount of Bugs” but also combine it with seeing more DRG Structures on Salvage missions.
RECOVERY AND EXTERMINATION
“A previous team of dwarves were overwhelmed trying to complete a mission, and we’re sending you to finish their job. The objective is now a heavily infested area, so make sure you’re prepared to thin down the ranks within.”
You begin in a standard room, similar to Elimination, being wide and clear of most clutter save for some pillars. Swarms will not spawn normally until you enter the next room, a cavern connecting the spawn room to a significantly larger room.
There is a 50% chance that the room generation will be similar to Point Extraction or On-Site Refinery, with the respective platform.
A large amount of bugs will be present, or spawn in the next immediate Endless Swarm. Similar to Ebonite Glyphid events, you will be given a number count of enemies that have been slain. The current Swarm will not end until a certain number of enemies have been killed.
Bugs will still commonly spawn after the Swarm, similar to Point Extraction, but in comparatively lower densities.
The platform itself will either possess Fester Flees within the depositories, or Xynarch Chargesuckers on the platform itself and on the button. The platform’s button to send the rocket cannot be activated until all Flees or Chargesuckers are dead.
After pushing the button, regardless of the swarm’s presence, the rocket will be sent and the Drop Pod will return.
👍 or 👎 if the swarm should stack or not.
With the variance of the platforms, there will also be variance of the mission’s length and/or difficulty…
- If the platform is from On-Site Refinery
, there will be less bugs to kill on average. - If the platform is from Point Extraction
, the amount of non-Swarm bugs will also be denser. - If the platform is from Point Extraction , killing Chargesuckers can reactivate the platform’s Turrets.
- If the platform is from Point Extraction , you will have to wait for the Drop Pod. If the platform is from On-Site Refinery , the Drop Pod will be sent immediately.
- If the platform is from Point Extraction , an optional Secondary Objective exclusive to Recovery can be depositing 2 or 3 Aquarqs.

Yeah, maybe it could be added as a "mission variant". Mission variants would be nice. When a mission appears it would have a certain chance to be a variant.

Add zombie mutator. Well, the idea is that this mutation is applicable to creatures (mactera, glyphids, etc.) once they die they will respawn in a pack with less stamina and speed, but with the same health (this can change if it is too broken). , the Zombies will appear as a separate horde from those announced by Mission Control (just like in swarmagedon). Obviously this would only affect enemies that drop their corpse. Those that are burned, frozen, etc. Seeing how zombies are, the bullets wouldn't affect them as much as hitting them with the pickaxe

A mode where you fight a fully grown Dreadnought, mission control could say something along the lines of "the last team missed a cacoon on their last elimination mission and now it's gotten big, really big. Your job is to get rid of it before we need to completely halt operations in this region". It could be another boss fight mode where you fight a stationary boss. I know it's probably already been suggested but I think that a Dreadnought being grown completely could be a cool way for it to work

A new glyphid, about the size of a warden, this glyphid is armored heavily on the head with large horns that it uses to deal massive melee damage and can charge into you when it's health is low. As a result of it's large horns it's melee range is increased also, but it is much slower to attack.

Add variants to Salvage Operations, a redux of sorts. We've recovered mini-MULEs and brought back drop pods, how about if we are inserted to salvage mining platforms with Aquarq or liquid Morkite?
(Ops, entered by mistake)
Aquarq could be something of a "Recalibrate flight plan for mine head, and then refuel platform to launch the payload containing the Aquarq... while liquid Morkite would be an insertion team coming in to finish what another team could not complete - repair the broken pipes, restart the refining process, and continue as normal.

...Oh!
Adding random and rare Bosco units to the caves can give an excuse to having Bosco in Multiplayer! Plus would be nice to recover a lost mining unit whenever we find one, maybe put 'em in the victory screen like Doretta if you complete the mission
Like a Bet-C that you don't need to fight, only find due to some beeping (like a Helmet) and restart (like a Mini-MULE, or Bet-C).
The random Bosco will also act as normal, following you around, shooting bugs that you ping, and mining whatever you point at (with some limits, such as being unable to carry heavy items (won't interupt Rich-uals), and has a cooldown on mining ore veins, to limit abuse on s and Compressed Dirt). Bosco will not give you light if you ping a random spot of dirt though.

So Flares are pretty similar to glowsticks just more industrial grade and we’re getting a microwave gun so i suggest some sort of reaction between the two either as a part of the base weapon or maybe a Mod or OC

My proposed change to the Crispr. A. Remove sticky flames. B. Change sticky fuel, to a clean overclock called sticky flames that gives the gun sticky flames. C. Change sticky additive to an unstable overclock that triples all heat, doubles burn dot, and reduces range by ×0.5.
I feel sticky flames are a good idea, but in the current state they make driller be able to go into hazard 5 with no upgrades or overclocks. I would like to see this fixed, as my only reason to run the csp, or the cc is that I need to kill a dreadnought. Of course this isn't a very refined plan, just a rough idea.

Since the weapon roster for all 4 dwarves is more or less complete, (3 primaries and secondaries for each class,) new weapon overclocks in future seasons could really spice up the gunplay. Quality over quantity; the more unique the idea, the better. (GK2 Burst fire conversion, flamethrower fireball conversion, autocannon grenade conversion, warthog explosive rounds, just brainstorming.)

Overclock tuning:
Either some RNG on the overclocks you find: each one with up to +/-5% on any stat, so that you can potentially find a good version of an unstable o/c or a poor version of a clean o/c (or vice versa);
OR, Any overclock can be improved 5 or 10 times by small amounts from its base value by finding it again. Finding 5 of an o/c you really like would make that o/c slowly better.
Nothing overpowered or game changing, but a way to make it so that there's effectively 5 or 10 times more unlocking potential from the current overclocks and a chance to "level up" the ones you like.

I feel like the tendency for bugs to spawn on top of the escape pod really takes away from the extraction process. I get wanting to have relevant bug spawns, and adding to the frantic mayhem, but bugs spawning directly on top of the drop pod makes it the final enemy to be fought instead of the final bastion to be protected.
Instead, would it be possible to spawn bugs relatively nearby which are instead attracted to the pod?

Hi fellow miners! Yes i know I am quite new to the discord, but I ain't no leaf lover!! A few comments mates and myself have thought during our time playing this wonderful game;
-Memorial Hall being changed depending on lobby host. We think additions of smaller 'achievements' that are more milestones, decorated around the memorial hall. For example: 'Miners saved', 'Missions Completed', 'Lootbugs killed', 'Times passed out drunk', 'Missions completed while drunk' - the list goes on.
Just some smaller achievements that are shown with medallions or small statues littered around the memorial hall, changing depending on how many of x has been achieved (bronze, silver, gold variants of these challenges) by the lobby host. Allows for miners to show off their in-game achievements.
-Changes to the M.U.L.E going to the drop pod. Having a similar mechanic to the Hack-C Bot Unit, enemies are attracted to the M.U.L.E, too many hits and it needs to be booted up again. Rather than just racing to the pod, you have to protect the cargo, rather than just pushing through enemies and waiting at the pod.
Overall, we love the game Ghostship and are always amazed with your continuous support and updating to the game. Rock and Stone fellow Miners!

Hi all miners!!! I know that what I am going to suggest is not transcendental, but I would like to review the topic of colors in armor, there are times that depending on the color scheme you choose, the explorer's hands, for example, are colored when they should be colored flesh and not the color of the armor, I would just like a little review on these issues, there are so many hours of play that sometimes I pay attention to the small details of this great game

Foraging mission
A mission where instead of a main objective, you have three random secondary objectives to perform simultaneously (or in sequence), of which you need to do 2/3 to call the drop pod. Some of the collectibles (in batches of 5-10) are only found in 'groves' that have a swarm, several hazards or miniboss guarding it.

I had an idea for a new type of event. What if, at the end of some missions (haz 3 and above), there was a small chance for your rocket to fail? How cool would it be if you're spamming rock and stone, ready to go home, when your drop pod slants diagonal, the doors fail, and you crash back into the ground below.
You'd have to fight your way back out. Have some sort of secondary drop pod sent down, all the while dealing with a very confused and very slightly embarrassed mission control. Who's also irate for the interruption in the schedule.

Bosco overclocks. Boscoverclocks, if you will. I even have an idea for a clean, balanced, and unstable!
Clean: Night Light module. This overclock makes Bosco shine a dim light around himself, at all times
Balanced: Combat medic. Before reviving the player, Bosco will automatically fire all rockets available at bugs that are on you. Revives are slightly slower.
Unstable: Glass Cannon. Bosco loses all medikits, but for each one lost, he gains a massive damage up

💡 Change leech 'head' glow from red to purple, to better distinguish them from red sugar deposits at a glance
gloomy fjord
This has been suggested before (dug through the message history) but I want to expand upon it a little bit.
Qronar Younglings and Shellbacks both deal a lot of knock back, even if they're basically standing still. It is incredibly frustrating and unfun when you keep getting knocked around and can't do anything about it since all they have to do is touch you. Being knocked around by something that's barely moving feels very unintuitive. As such, the following changes should be made:
- Make Q'ronar damage and knockback proportional to their speed, and fling you in the direction they're moving
- They should try to charge at you to build maximum speed. On their own they wouldn't be a threat, as you could just move out the way, but in a swarm that could be devastating
- Due to the above AI behavior change, they should also try to keep a distance from you until they are ready to charge or spit
This is probably more of a bug, but I've found that they can also hit you even while you're in a gunner shield, which is so incredibly frustrating when normally that protects you from anything that isn't an AoE attack.

Better yet (change some Leeches to mimics so they look like red sugar and can grab you and pull you underground!

Allow the sludge pump (either via mod, overclock, or as a base stat) to dissolve and neutralize other fluids/goos. For example, Goo Bomber and Fungus Bogs goo - the green sticky stuff what slows you down - would be rapidly dissolved by sludge (also neutralizing the sludge in the process, most likely)
This would also apply to things like goo sacks, snow and frost bomber piles, and hiveguard/sentinel goo.
Provides further utility & support, as well as the first true counter to these kinds of goos (while you can mine Fungus Bog goo, it takes forever and is generally impractical)

Make On-site Refining missions more difficult
One thing I've found with these missions is that they are never difficult. There always seems to be more enemies before the actual pipes part, even on Hazard 5.5. I suggest that we increase the amount of enemies during the refinery section to be more than a regular swarm, and that there's less of a down time when the pipes malfunction. Bigger pipes should also cause more errors more often, to make the complexity and length truly scale with time. The length of the pipes/mission could even change the amount of liquid morkite transported over time, with longer pipes/missions taking longer to fully refine. A delay for the morkite entering the refinery depending on how long you took to repair could also help speed up the pace that the pipes are repaired at. Last suggestion, please decrease the amount of lootbugs on these missions. The large amount that spawn and collect during refinery missions creates a ridiculous abundance of nitra. Please make ammo management more important on the refinery missions.

Make weapon modifications follow overclock choices, so you don't need to remember what's the build for each overclock, you just need to set it up once, and you can quickly switch builds just by changing overclocks.

Alternative support tools?

This changes the flare gun slightly, reducing it's ammo count and light is less vibrant. Ore scanner will be activated using a special button.
"Sends out a wave, that highlights all ores in a medium radius. Ores highlighted will be saved on the terrain scanner of the scout, and can be transferred to other party members when scout is nearby them"
Gunner: The shield wall
"Sets up a shield wall, lasts longer than the shield generator, but does not recover shields. Shield wall is longer and larger, but is only set up in front of you. Can be used to block passages so the bugs won't come through, for a limited amount of time. The shield wall will also boost the speed of bullets(don't ask how), increasing their damage(not by a lot)"
Driller: hmmmm

"Sets up a station, that produces small drones that attack enemies. These drones act similarly to the shredder drones of the rivals, but they attack bugs"

New Mission Type: Hive Incursion
This features our dwarves having to go through the caves searching for a weapon left by the previous crew to make this trek: a nuclear bomb. After attaching it to Molly you'll need to assemble some mining lasers to dig through the wall of a Glyphid Hive while a swarm attack the process. the mule immediately going to the center once the Hive is opened and dropping off the bomb- but as the weapon readies 3 waves will come after you, each one getting worse and worse until you beat the third, waking up a Shellback Guardian who the Dwarves will have to defeat in order to get the lost nuclear rods from, putting them in the nuke and getting out of there before it goes off while hordes of angry bugs chase after them.

"Alright team this caves uncharted, unscanned and down right infested. pick up what you can and call it quits if you can't take the heat" Mission concept- Colossal expedition, Team is dropped in a starting cave similar to dreadnaught missions and various POIS objectives and loot are scattered about the massive cave system, the key factor of this mission is that the drop pod can be called after 10 minutes being the only condition, rewards increase with the amount of objectives completed and time survived. this mission type has a similar mechanic to point extraction in which the longer you take the more enemies will spawn. "objectives" could be anything from a dread cocoon to a stray aquarq.

Mission type: Lootbug Harvest
“Lootbugs in this cave have grown to massive sizes. Bring them back to the spacerig for harvest.”
3 giant lootbugs in a cave need to be brought to containers to take them out of the cave. To do this, they need to be woken up, which summons a swarm, and one player needs to get on it and ride/wrangle it to the container while the others defend it. You can get off the lootbug at any time, but it’ll start slowly moving away.
Maybe to make the lootbug riding more fun, it can climb walls and/or trample smaller bugs.

Some rare mineral variation of Crassus detonator, which you'd only need to mine 1/3 or 1/4 of the sphere to meet quota ( a combination based on fester flea extermination and dystrum/hollomite mining). Seems like a refresher to secondary objectives as a whole and a little more challenge.

"Lead Storm" Overclock: Plutonium Bullets
Premise:
Instead of firing depleted uranium bullets, the gun now fires denser, highly radioactive plutonium bullets.
Bullets leave behind small short-lasting radiation fields upon impact
Bullets do a little more damage
Hitting an enemy with enough bullets can cause a miniature fission reaction, resulting in an explosion dealing significant damage
Reduced ammo (plutonium ain't cheap!)
Increased cooldown time
Mechanical niche:
This is intended for short bursts of high damage, with the potential for extreme damage to high-health targets due to effectively turning them into micro nuclear warheads. The radiation damage also allows for doing damage through impenetrable armor, if need be, as well as added crowd control capabilities thanks to the lingering AoE.

Suggestion: I know deep rock is a coop game first and foremost but for the sakes of preservation long term when drg one day stops getting supported, can there be a solo profile creation that is strickly a offline solo save so that way we can do weekly deep dives and elites and weekly missions offline, as currently there is no way to do them without being connected to the internet, and haveing a strictly offline only solo profile would allow no exploits
this way when DRG one day stops getting updates, we can replay the game with all its content and be able to do deep dives and get matrix cores still. and just having a solo profile full stop without being locked out of weekly's and deep dives for those who enjoy the game as a lone wolf

Scout Crossbow Overclock Drastically increase the light missed bolt shots give off
I just watched the new stream testing the new weapons and noticed that missed bolt shots give off light so you can easily see them to retrieve them. This gave me an idea.
Since the crossbow bolts have lightbulbs on them... if you're in a dark room and you run out of flare gun ammo as the scout, you could shoot a bunch of bolts onto the walls to light up the room a bit, and then pick them back up when you don't need the light anymore.
Maybe you guys could make an overclock that increases the light the bolts give off, so they could essentially act as reusable flare gun shots.

Add a way for the other 3 dwarves to friendly fire from different cave systems with the season 2 update, as it stands only gunner will be able to be in the spawn room of a morkite mission and shoot the scout in the last cave. I think that it is unbalanced to only give gunner this power.

Ok, how about this, a rare lootbug variant which is bassicly 2 times bigger than the normal one, which means it has 2 times more stats and 2 times more loot (that concept is still WIP feel free to alter it) but the main premise is, if you decide to kill it, it ups your hazard level up until the end of the level, and if you happen to be playing on max hazard level, then it just triggers a swarm shortly after its death.
my friends need convincing that killing lootbugs is cruel and heartless (thats a perfect depiction of what my friends are)

This enemy appears to be a normal Loot Bug. But with a catch. When attacked, it begins to move MUCH faster, and starts attacking the dwarves with headbutts. On top of this, it would have extremely high health.
Right now, if you're going for resources, the only thing stopping you from killing all Loot bugs is morals. This enemy will make lootbug farming riskier

Hello, I really enjoyed this game in the past, but lately my internet connection has been unstable. Periodically, it would disconnect and then reconnect, but the connection inbetween the connection loss isn't problematic. I've tried analyzing the problem, and it looks like it is ISP-related problem, not my router, so I can't do anything about it. This makes playing DRG a frustating experience, because I would get disconnected every so often, and sometimes I get disconnected at the last moment of a mission, rendering the playthrough useless because no rewards were given (still had fun though). I would like to make a suggestion that DRG server didn't automatically kick disconnected player (or atleast give 1-2 minutes of tolerance), since I didn't get any option to reconnect, and sometimes it is fruitless (someone else joined or the mission is completed). Thanks, rock n stone
