correct

glacial topaz
#

I know that both seems to be correct, and if both can be used I would rather use a third word

low hamlet
#

the first one isnt grammatically correct

#

the second is

signal meadow
#

what do you know about grammar, lootle shootle

low hamlet
#

lol

glacial topaz
#

azure weald features were added as well, but it is quite incomplete, with the blue rocks part not mentioning the resistance gain

#

Magic crystals give 50% damage reduction for 15s to enemies and players.

#

Magic holes is 30% speed boost for 15s for enemies and players, with the addition of low gravity (~50% lower) for players.

glacial topaz
#

wasn't even aware about that armor sharing part, what is even "net regenerative gain" ???

shut slate
#

I presume that is a fancy way of saying they're both technically healing when they share health

#

i.e. "sacrifice 65 hp to give teammate 90" sort of healing logic

still lantern
#

about that, there's a relation between the complexity/length and how big the caverns are?

bold plover
#

Afaik the twins cannot heal anymore, they just share health.

glacial topaz
#

I mean, can you increase length without increasing size ?

kind epoch
#

and yes the twins "heal" when their health difference is too large

glacial topaz
#

that they can share hp I know, the problem is if the total stays the same or not

stark tulip
#

I wonder if the info I added on Exploring My Options back when I was a greenbeard still applies

#

It gave me the achievement when I chose a Bosco upgrade, well before I was able to unlock any weapons

#

That was before 1.0

analog rock
worldly salmon
#

I don’t think they always heal when the difference is too large, either

#

It can be a difference of like, a tiny segment of hp

#

I’m not exactly sure what triggers it in that case

weary sonnet
analog rock
#

One of the patch notes for the hotfixes mentioned it.

weary sonnet
#

Ok, ty

#

Hotfix 2:
- Tweaked the Dreadnought Twins health exchange so it is no longer a zero-sum game resulting in a net gain of HP. The amount of gain depends on the difference in HP. The greater the difference, the greater the gain.

gusty bridge
#

ok so previously it was Zero-Sum and Lacerator gives up 100 hp and Arbalest gains 100hp

now, depending on the health difference, lacerator gives up 100 hp and Arbalest could gain 150hp. and this is the intended setup.

did i read that right?

analog rock
#

I think the first iteration gave them a fixed amount gain of hp back every time, and now the gain id proportional to the difference of hp between the twins.

U33 allows Dystrum to spawn in OSR missions now, too

gusty bridge
#

Oooh cool. Was always confused as to why only point extraction

bold plover
#

The devs hate dystrum, take my word for it.

gusty bridge
#

why?

low hamlet
#

gonna upload a new image of the fester flea

#

that's actually the fester flea

#

there it is

Looks good

gusty bridge
#

how does damage resistance calculations work again?

#

e.g. HAZ 5

Slasher as a -30% resistance to explosive and 108 hp
Guard has a +30% resistance to explosive and 324 hp

#

how do I calculate how much explosive damage to kill them using those values?

#

is it:
for a -30% resistance I divide their hp by 1.3 ?
and for a +30% resistance I multiply their hp * 1.3 ?

sand lantern
low hamlet
#

o

#

umm

#

lol what i have no idea what's going on there

sand lantern
#

I opened dreadnought health table

#

Something seems to be a bit off

low hamlet
#

that'd be something to ask ely/cyrob about

floral drift
# gusty bridge how does damage resistance calculations work again?

The generalized formula is health/(1-resistance)

This means that if Lootbugs had 30% Explosive resistance their eHP would be 100/0.7=142.86. Conversely 30% vulnerability would be 100/1.3=76.92.

This formula is derived by summing up how much damage would need to be done of a particular element multiplied by the resistance, and then some algebra. Like, if an attack only did 100 explosive damage, the 30% resistance would reduce that to 70. Another 30 would do 21, 9 => 6.3, 2.7 => 1.89, etc until 100 damage had all been done. Adding up all that damage totals up to 100/0.7 exactly. Similar derivation for vulnerability.

#

So in total, an enemy’s eHP is Base health * Difficulty Scaling / Elemental resistance for whatever element, hazard level, or player count you choose.

glacial topaz
#

there is IFG , weakpoints and other stuff too sometimes

floral drift
#

I’d argue those affect the attack more than the creature’s eHP

gusty bridge
#

So If resistance is +100% then they take 0 damage of that type/ have effectively infinite health against that type ?

#

And if resistance is -100% they take double damage, effectively have half health against that type?

weary sonnet
#

@gusty bridge yes, you got it right.

weary sonnet
glacial topaz
#

about all of that, we still have to check for weaknesses for the new U33 creatures, think the only one I heard and included were brundle and tri-jaw, no idea about the others
that, and know if the fester flea freeze values changed, I know they die now, but not sure about value changes

gusty bridge
#

Will I make a damage calculation page? With sample calculations done out? To cover the major types of damage, resistance, weakness, modifications etc? We already have a very good area damage page. This could be in the same vein.

glacial topaz
#

it makes more sense to make a formula page then, not only for damage, but for every single formula we can think of

#

Not counting that the way area damage works isnt that simple compared to Single target, so dont see a big reason to have a whole page only for it

gritty bear
#

uhh... I made the Loot Bug page actually neutral now, hate on me later

glacial topaz
#

also, oddly enough the mission navbox is different depending on the article even with if it is the same one
, but, why is Machine events in here ? I can see BlackBox due to it being a mission on deep dives, but machine events seems like including secondary objectives, cargo crates, lost packs, korloks, etc

gritty bear
#

I mean, you can

#

if you're about to call me a loot bug lover you'll eat those words right up... in maybe a week or month or idk

#

Machine Events because it counts as an objective upon failure/completion whereas all the other 'optional' events don't

#

secondary objectives are supposed to be in that list as well but they are too simplistic so you'll have to decide on that, guess all of them in one page like machine events would make sense but still simplistic objectives generally

coral roost
#

I.
That thumbnail.

gritty bear
#

fixing brain fart

glacial topaz
#

things to think about, even though it might appear on the same section on mission end screen it looks and feels so odd, maybe it is the name of "missions",

gritty bear
#

right, I was talking about this

#

Tyrant Shard also appears in the same section but I'll never call it a mission anything

glacial topaz
#

looks more like a task list, or objectives to-do
missions looks more like what you are actually going down for

gritty bear
#

yet it's the only thing that actually appears there out of the optional events

glacial topaz
#

missions - special events - secondary objectives

gritty bear
#

I've always kinda viewed machine events as secret objectives considering management is willing to up your payment for doing them, but if that's not fine then I still to this day don't understand how Fester Fleas count as a resource

sand lantern
#

Code-wise or lore-wise?

gritty bear
#

game

#

management doesn't really reward you for doing things they didn't ask you to do, but if you bring back extra loot you'll get paid accordingly, bringing back doretta's head or fixing BET-C yield no rewards but machine events are a case where they didn't ask you to do it but reward you anyway

sand lantern
#

Doretta's head won't cover how much drilldozer costs
You don't bring BET-C with you, therefore saving BET-C only helps you, not DRG
Machine events have something to do with scientific guys in company, at least kursite one does
Fester Fleas breed rapidly and have a bad habit of getting into some important machinery parts and breaking it, that's about how it was stated back then when they were added. Basically, by paying us a bit of money DRG excludes potential bigger losses and prevents getting their breed out of control in caves

#

Also, afaik you get extra reward for activating events, not completing these

gritty bear
#

idk about that

gusty bridge
#

yeah i think even if you fail the event, it's marked on the end screen

#

completing it just gets you access to the core infuser

low hamlet
#

having a brain fart rn

#

how do i force the position of the header nav again?

#

ok i fixed my brain

#

im going to try to get a new minehead picture

#

can we just use this?

glacial topaz
#

for ?

#

not like we can't update it later

#

good one for a place holder

low hamlet
#

yeah

#

the current one is very outdated

#

and it's only used on the minehead page as well, which makes things easier

gritty bear
#

uhh one sec

glacial topaz
#

looking forward to a nice template decision later on

low hamlet
#

here's a new minehead turret image

#

oops. there's a little extra pixels. 1 sec

#

there we go

#

the white outline is a discord thing

low hamlet
glacial topaz
#

was that supposed to be U33 or ? appears on some recent changes

low hamlet
#

u32

#

i put that in there since im not sure if it's up to date for u33

#

so people know to look over it

sand lantern
#

Which page?

gusty bridge
#

do we have any numbers on the base shield recharge rate?

#

how long it takes to regen 25 shield (or 30 if you have overcharger) from 0. not counting the regeneration delay

gusty bridge
#

it seems to be roughly 5 seconds

glacial topaz
#

recording it with mods and without should work I guess

gusty bridge
#

yeah maybe get it by frames?

#

i'm on xbox so best i can do is clips etc. someone on pc would likely be more accurate.

#

but 5 seconds is my first estimate

#

will check with and w/o mods tonight.

sand lantern
#

Is there any info on guardian weakpoint health?

gusty bridge
#

which do you mean:

  • Glyphid Grunt Guard?
  • Glyphid Warden?
  • or Glyphid Sentinel ?
sand lantern
#

Hive guard

gusty bridge
#

so damage required to break the 3 armour points and expose the central weakpoint?

sand lantern
#

For each weakpoint

#

Yes

weary sonnet
#

For the shield recharge rate, that was the only thing I didn’t test on shield, mosly because I ran out of time during that test and forgot it afterward.

No data gathered on the hiveguard on my side for now.
(I know, not very useful, just wanted to let you know I don’t have the data.)

glacial topaz
#

looks like it is 200 HP, 50% resistance to radial (explosive?), no sure if it scales or not

weary sonnet
#

Resistance to radial? Radial resistance would mean resistance to any AoE attack, this is a first.

glacial topaz
#

"RadialDamageResistance"

weary sonnet
#

Explosive resistance in the files is called res_explosive or something like that, you can’t mix it up with something else.

#

RadialDamage is how they call the AoE part of pretty much any attack.

#

That would match what the devs said in the stream, I didn’t expect it would be implemented that way though.

glacial topaz
#

trying to figure out how to add all of that on the wiki

sand lantern
#

Is BC projectile "radial" by the way?

weary sonnet
#

checking

#

The base damage is not.

sand lantern
#

Folded one?

glacial topaz
#

is that 200 hp is fixed for all hazards and player count ?

weary sonnet
#

That is unlikely.

#

It probably scale the same way than the main hp

#

The explosive goodbye is radial damage for the BC and it looks like there is another component as well, not sure which one.

glacial topaz
#

so... ideas ?

glacial topaz
#

went with "Destructible spots"
if anyone can confirm the HP scaling, that would be appreciated, don't forget the resistance

low hamlet
#

alright. just did a lot of work towards updating all the formatting on the tables on the accessory page

#

going to try to wrap that up nice later today or tomorrow

glacial topaz
#

what is changing ?

glacial topaz
#

Anyway, trying to figure out how to handle the AC rof graph, I updated the one I had based on MeatShield's sayings, I also have the version with Big Bertha, but not sure if the best way is to just make 1 graph for each combination, or figure what is the best way to label each line

low hamlet
floral drift
glacial topaz
#

I like having all of them for comparing

floral drift
#

are you talking about your own personal reference chart, or for displaying on the wiki?

glacial topaz
#

wiki

floral drift
#

yeah, this is a judgement call. you want to display all the combinations, but if you display the data too densely it starts to lose meaning. maybe have a three graphs: one of the five baseline, one of every combination of 2, and one of every combination of 3?

  • Default
  • T2.B
  • T2.C
  • T3.A
  • Big Bertha
  • T2.B + T3.A
  • T2.B + BB
  • T2.C + T3.A
  • T2.C + BB
  • T3.A + BB

T2.B + T3.A + BB
T2.C + T3.A + BB

glacial topaz
#

well, but first we have to check how to make sure each line is easily identifiable, against colors due to colorblind people

radiant edge
#

Why not just two separate graphs, one for normal and the other for BB

glacial topaz
#

that was my plan yes, but how to make sure each line is easily identifiable when you have 6 lines ?

radiant edge
#

Dotted, dashed, etc.

glacial topaz
#

well, 3-4 might be fine with that, but 5-6 will most likely get too hard to notice the difference quickly

radiant edge
#
  • Fixed Gunner's Heavy Autocannon with Big Bertha OC + T2 Lighter Barrel Assembly (without T3 Supercharged Feed Mechanism) does not apply T5 Damage Resistance buff.
#

Also just noticed this in the patch notes today, guess that means that flickering bug is gone now

floral drift
#

it is. this also fixed T5.A Feedback Loop not giving +20% damage with the same combination

#

i've already updated the Autocannon page Rate of Fire Mechanics section accordingly

radiant edge
#

Very nice, always wanted to try out some builds ever since I found out that BB with the RoF growth mod would basically provide a 100% uptime on RoF bonuses if it weren't for that bug

analog rock
#

*The bold part failed... still gives six types of lines, if you double/triple the thickness of the lines for the repeat

radiant edge
#

Different patterns also work

#

Like two dashes followed by a dot, etc.

glacial topaz
#

any true ?

weary sonnet
#

It is part of the glyphid familly group that part is true as for the spawn not sure about the large part.

glacial topaz
#

"It's theorized that the Brood Nexus is a completely separate genus, somehow able to replicate the DNA of other species"

#

doesn't that say they aren't sure it is a glyphid, and that the glyphid name might just be that the Brood Nexus in there spawns glyphids

weary sonnet
#

Well it has Glyphid as a prefix and it sorted and in the MM as a Glyphid, but the MM description is doubting it indeed.

#

In the files it is not in the spider folders, my bad, it is in its own folder as EnemySpawner.

glacial topaz
#

from "stationary Glyphid type" to "stationary enemy type" should work either way

#

or creature type

#

other than that, only that lengthy description got added to leech

glacial topaz
#

How is this ?

glacial topaz
floral drift
# glacial topaz How is this ?

some constructive feedback: because it's modeled as a min() function there should be definitive corners where the e^x functions intersect the flat lines at Max RoF. i'm guessing that the data you're plotting is generated using intervals of 0.25 sec and then interpolated, which causes the rounding. maybe decrease the interval to 0.1 or less for more precise plots?

glacial topaz
#

doing it every 0.1 presents barely noticeable differences, but better make sure of everything before uploading a new version
, actually I will do it for every 0.02 seconds (50 times per second), well, now that is a bit more different, result:

floral drift
#

i like that one a lot better

#

just, make the dot/dash lines and i think it's golden 👍

glacial topaz
#

I just have to figure out how to merge the 2 files / layers

lean pebble
#

It makes it sound like doing damage to the detonator weakpoints doesn't do extra damage.

weary sonnet
#

It is only for the damage taken into account for breaking the weakpoints, not for how much damage the creature will take.

lean pebble
#

So if you do 100dmg to a x3 weakpoint that has 200hps, then the weakpoint takes 100, but the bulk takes 300dmg?

weary sonnet
#

yes

glacial topaz
#

update uploaded file, there is a table to, should it have the "time for max RoF" too or something else ?

floral drift
#

at this point, the time to max RoF is the last thing not included in that table

#

when i wrote that section originally i just presented the variables and formulas so that people who were invested could figure it out for themselves, but now that Omega is making the charts and tables it makes sense to "complete the set" so to speak

glacial topaz
#

if you remember anything that would gain with a visual representation don't forget to say

floral drift
#

if anything, maybe uploading a gif onto the Accuracy page to show how all the pieces work together? i already have the Visualizer programmed in my Calculator, so i would just need to make the gif and have someone upload it

glacial topaz
#

uploading is the easiest part

#

left side, upload file, just make sure to give it the proper licensing

floral drift
#

when i tried to upload the Subata Recoil per Shot i ran into some issues

glacial topaz
#

not sure I can solve that, but let's see, error messages ?

floral drift
#

the errors were months ago, when i made that page

#

i'll try uploading a file to Accuracy and let you know how it goes

#

which gun do you think would be the best demonstration of the system?

glacial topaz
#

depending on how different the guns are, have 1 example for each case ?

floral drift
#

that's 8 gifs, without accounting for Accuracy mods/OCs

glacial topaz
#

I know the stubby is all about vertical recoil, and LS is all about accuracy increasing,
subata would be the only neutral one ?

floral drift
#

probably either Subata or BRT -- neither of them use Spread Curves

glacial topaz
#

if to pick only 1, subata , maybe because I am driller, so

#

back to the other thing, how is this for Bertha

floral drift
#

good, but the special case with T2.C + BB w/o T3.A (Min RoF = 4 = Max RoF) gets a little lost having 3 other plots cross over it as well as running on top of a major gridline. i have no idea how to improve that though, sorry

glacial topaz
#

the table will make that clear

#

last case the base line can be made more thin

floral drift
#

running into an issue with screencapping the visualization -- even at 60 FPS it feels like it's missing frames, a little choppy

#

i render it at 100 FPS, maybe that's the issue...

glacial topaz
#

no export settings that won't require screen recording ?

floral drift
#

😕 sorry, no. i mean i could export the hundreds of data points used to render it, but i don't think it would be meaningful

glacial topaz
#

is it a problem with recording - calculator , or gif - recording ?

floral drift
#

it's a problem where the calculator renders the visualization at 100 FPS, but the screencapping software i found at the top of Google results maxxes out at 60 FPS

glacial topaz
#

OBS ?

floral drift
#

OBS does gifs?

#

i have OBS

glacial topaz
#

I mean, I am sure you can convert MP4 / video file to gif somewhere

floral drift
#

OBS looks like it's capped at 60FPS too...

glacial topaz
#

did you try custom FPS

#

File, settings, video, Integer FPS value

floral drift
#

ok, yeah, i got it. 100 FPS recording in .mkv format

#

it didn't come out of the mkv-to-gif conversion process very well....

glacial topaz
#

do you need to convert it to another format first ? are you doing a 100 fps gif ?

floral drift
#

i was trying to do a 100 FPS gif, yeah

#

failed quite spectacularly

glacial topaz
#

still happens ?
also, the doretta head thing again lol

bold plover
#

That last sentence is a whole lot of nope.

glacial topaz
#

fixed, but do you still get beer lines ?

glacial topaz
#

I can see warden being called a support unity, but mactera seems a bit forced and unrealistic...

floral drift
#

Goo/Frost Bombers are arguably support, providing AoE slows vs players

#

Spawn, Tri-Jaw are more attackers

#

Brundle is a damage sponge

#

maybe Grabbers "stunning" players could be qualified as support, but that's kind of a stretch

glacial topaz
#

so glyphids are support too, slasher, web spitter,
is support just being able to give player a bad status effect ?

floral drift
#

let's just leave it simple -- Warden is a Support because it directly buffs its allies, but the Mactera aren't because all of their attacks/moves interact with dwarves and not other bugs

#

rather than try to provide a nitty-gritty technical definition of what a "Support" is

glacial topaz
#

the large text sections that got added, in green

floral drift
#

Naedocyte Crusiers in Dense Biozone are omitted from the Naedocyte paragraph in the first screenshot -- it only mentions Breeders and Hatchlings/Swarmers

glacial topaz
#

how is the gif going ?

floral drift
#

i haven't tried since the last time we talked about it. if you want to try making it, be my guest

#

i'm neck-deep in a major refactor of my code right now

#

been coding for the past 5 hours, no signs of stopping for a while

glacial topaz
#

no rush

glacial topaz
#

is this correct " by burrowing up out of natural terrain" ?

#

is it any true that mactera try to spawn outside the player line of sight ?

sand lantern
#

Wait, there possibly are digging-out particles, but still mactera has no animation of burrowing out

kind epoch
#

I saw macteras spawn in front of my eyes plenty of times

#

but maybe they actually tried to spawn out of sight of another player, and it happened to be on my sight

glacial topaz
#

How many times did they spawn outside your line tho, some tests or confirmation would be nice

sand lantern
#

Where should info regarding earthquakes be put into?

misty trail
#

https://deeprockgalactic.gamepedia.com/Equipment I was looking at the Equipment page and noticed some rather odd details towards the bottom. If this page only goes over the items related to the Equipment terminal, then wouldn't including information on things like the Mine Head (Point Extraction) and the BET-C be irrelevant? I think the entire sections on Robots and Support Drops could be removed entirely.

Deep Rock Galactic Wiki

Deep Rock Galactic provides their employees with a huge arsenal of Equipment to choose from, designed to assist the Dwarves in extracting resources and eliminating threats. All of the classes carry several items of Equipment at once - a Primary Weapon, a Secondary Weapon, two Support Tools and a Throwable item (such as a grenade).
For weapons, ...

radiant edge
#

From my experience, Mactera spawns have the "burrowing" vfx and sfx, but simply spawn in midair with no animation

#

And I don't think line of sight factors into their spawn rules

gusty bridge
#

^ i've seen the same

glacial topaz
#

I am not sure why the article tries to group all mactera by characteristics when it fails to do that, says they have 6 limbs when a lot have only 2-4, and also mention glowing abdomem, which I don't see anything glowing on the goo bomber

gusty bridge
#

if it's not in the miners manual or a description, then it's just speculation

#

anything that isn't true to that or true to in-game appearance should be deleted right?

#

don't we have stats on swarm makeup etc? we shouldn't be using terms like "generally" if we have numbers

#

it's nice to have more descriptions, but we need to make sure they're true to ingame or to the miner's manual.

glacial topaz
#

what are you referring to specifically

#

not enough swarm stats to make an article or mention anything

gusty bridge
#

ok so it's a sample based on miners manual data.

gusty bridge
glacial topaz
#

last I remember we know a lot of variables, but not how they are used / considered, the oppressor chances might be known, but there is probably other stuff at play, Ely probably knows more about what is unknown

gusty bridge
#

ah ok

glacial topaz
#

and no need to ping if I am typing here
we just removed the support mention

gusty bridge
#

sorry, was typing a reply to your other message. forgot that it pings when i hit reply.

#

cool

glacial topaz
#

seeing that mission pages are being changed, and talking about mining expedition, shouldn't it mention that it has swarms ?

sand lantern
# gusty bridge

Some enemies can only be spawned once, on mission load, like cave leeches or breeders. You better move them into another list

#

@floral drift thoughts on the above re: weighted distribution?

glacial topaz
floral drift
# gusty bridge <@!199367621634686976> thoughts on the above re: weighted distribution?

there are two ways to look at DRG's probability to spawn any specific enemy. the first way is to gather all of the "Spawn Weight" for each enemy, the "Spawn Pool" for each hazard level, percentages that Grunts will be promoted to Slasher/Guard, Praetorians to Oppressors, etc etc.... and then put it all together for an educated guess of the probability that any particular enemy spawns. Ike has been maintaining a spreadsheet with a lot of these variables, but to the best of my knowledge hasn't figured out the last step of synthesizing the aggregate probabilities.

the other way is to play the game enough at a certain Hazard level to get such a large dataset of kills in the Miner's Manual that you can calculate the probability directly. that's the method that I used for my Calculator, and what you referenced earlier. it's a much more empirical method, but it glosses over the entire spawn probability system so it wouldn't be very good to add to a wiki article because it's only valid for Haz4/5, and not the lower levels.

for what you're interested in, Rob, you might want to get in contact with Ike and ask to see his spreadsheet. that data would probably be worth putting into an article, but you would need to do a lot of heavy lifting to copy/paste it all into a meaningful format and then discover how it all works too.

glacial topaz
#

well, there is a lot more than Spawn Weight and Spawn pool, at least like 6 number variables from my collection, with some booleans too

gusty bridge
#

Good stuff. Thanks for the explanation. Both are useful sets of data. Though the "kills" method leaves out bugs a player was unable to kill/ fled from etc. I'll c have a chat with ike if you can put me in touch?

#

Yeah getting close to an exact number for any of them will be very damn difficult for sure

glacial topaz
#

kills seems like the worst method to use alone

floral drift
floral drift
#

@sand lantern are you able and willing to look into Gunner's Incendiary Grenade and Engineer's LURE files to find the exact values of how they work? they're a little under-documented in the Wiki right now

radiant edge
#

Is the incendiary grenade not as simple as just providing a flame DoT in an area?

glacial topaz
#

it has heat source values, I am not entirely sure but it might be that + the damage DoT, didn't check if it was fire, or heat damage though

#

think only value I have no idea is how long the flames last, and also how it works in game

#

any true ? bough wasp nest

floral drift
# glacial topaz any true ? bough wasp nest

currently true. not necessarily going to be that way forever. it seems that the Wasps lack a direct hitbox, but are killable by any Area Damage. I was able to kill a swarm with Autocannon shooting the ground beneath the swarm. i haven't tested if Flamethrower works on it.

glacial topaz
#

seems not intended

#

what about those hiveguard tips, that resupply one seems a bit too... odd

indigo kindle
#

Small issue: M1000's T1B damage mod says "+20% damage" when in the game files it's flat +10.

kind epoch
#

it says +10 because 20% of 50 is 10, I think it's like Healthy says +20 instead of +18%

indigo kindle
#

This is the value I'm talking about. Can't be more straightforward than that.

10 is 20% of 50, so it isn't wrong
It's just implemented additively instead

floral drift
#

M1000 damage is (50 + 10) * 0.6 if T1.B and Hipster are equipped

indigo kindle
#

It isn't wrong per se, but it doesn't display the real game data value, either. Maybe add a tooltip showing that it's actually flat +10? People might have issues understanding how multipliers interact etc.

kind epoch
#

just replace it if files say +10

#

why would you write "false info (tooltip: true info)" ?

#

anyway I modified it

stark tulip
#

Do the reverse
+10 Damage (In-game description says +20%)
Something like that

kind epoch
#

in-game description doesn't say +20%

#

it was just the wiki that said it, so I assumed it was an info in the files, but greyhound said it wasn't, so I don't know why someone wrote +20% to start with

stark tulip

Oh, what about the weapon stats when hovering over the mod?

Oh ok so it was just the wiki that was wrong

Healthy is correct, it's a x1.18 multiplier in the game files.

I've created a spreadsheet that adds up the prices of all the upgrades, overclocks, and cosmetics (except the limited time offer ones and the ones from crate) and I was wondering if any of the wiki editors would like it

how big is a bug? like what size (in meters) are Grunts?

weary sonnet
#

For future cases like what GreyHound brought up for the M1000's T1B damage mod, we add the real value in the wiki since it being additive or multiplicative can matter, the only place where we directly put the in game value is the mod description.

glacial topaz
#

we simply test it with different mods to see if it is a flat or percentage, such as overclocks, so everything is correct, that didn't change

glacial topaz

the really bad thing about using flat is that order matters, with % it won't

Do the +Mining Rate modifications on the Driller's Drills effect fuel efficiency at all?

grave swift
# gusty bridge Do the +Mining Rate modifications on the Driller's Drills effect fuel efficiency...

Disclaimer: I do not claim to know any of these statements as 100% true, all my knowledge about this is based on my own experience and testing in the game, if anyone reading this does know 100% how the game works and detects mistakes in my explanation, please correct me. Thank you.

Now on to my theoretical answer to your question:

I believe the fuel is based on time so, according to my theory, the +Mining Rate modification should not affect the time you can spend drilling until you're out of fuel, however, it allows for faster drilling, making it so that if you are in movement, for example by turning your camera angle, or moving sideways, the delay between the "drilling" action (the moments when the drills destroy terrain in a square/rectangle shape) is reduced, meaning that you can drill much more over a wide area with proper movement, however, if you're asking about digging a tunnel in a straight line, the first upgrade does improve the distance you can make out of your fuel slightly, yet considerably over long distances (since it prevents your character from bumping into the wall before the next drilling action occurs), but the second doesn't, and is only benefitial to your fuel-used/drilled-terrain ratio on situations where your position can change very quickly (for example using dash and jumping and drilling in the air in order not to lose speed, releasing the brakes on a zipline, or any other method of achieving great speeds).

That would refer to the drilling part of the drills, but the drills are also a weapon, so I feel like I should also cover that matter.
In my testing, the +Mining Rate does not affect the damage against enemies or the speed at which they take ticks of damage, thus it does not improve the DPS of the weapon or its status effect (stun/fear) infliction rate.

gusty bridge
#

thanks man, i had a suspicion that fuel was based on drill time. though if that is true, then faster drills (and movement) means less time to drill a 40m tunnel. so less drilling time = less fuel right?

sand lantern
#

@lost perch

lost perch
#

?

gusty bridge
#

like for example, you run your drills to 100% overheat and walk in a straight line drilling. you'll get further with the faster drill speed right? so you'll drill a longer tunnel for the same fuel? assuming you're drilling in a straight line of course

lost perch
#

Mining speed on drills = rate of fire on any other weapon, you dig faster at the cost of more fuel consumed

#

But there's 1 problem: you dig faster then you walk, so approximately 1/3 of the time you literally drill a thin air

gusty bridge
lost perch
#

What leads to more fuel consumed per meter

gusty bridge
#

thanks for clarifying

glacial topaz
#

While I don't usually count, Bosco isn't staying in lighting position forever, besides that timer is quite small

#

Seems to be close to reality

north quiver
# gusty bridge thanks for clarifying

@lost perch can correct me if drills have been updated since u32 but i have done testing on multiple patches for drills

no drill speed and 1 speed are comparable for fuel efficiency, 2 speed is only slightly worse, by about 2m per straight line till overheat

#

you can circumnavigate the fuel inefficiency by tap-drilling but this method is worse for heat management

lost perch
#

Because you could double your damage instead

glacial topaz
#

How

sand lantern
#

Another upgrade in T1

north quiver
lost perch
north quiver
#

right but what do you mean damage? you mean taking the damage mod over the speed mod?

#

the speed increase from 2 to 3 is noticeable; it allows you do outdig the bugs movement speed

#

the fuel inefficiency is negligible and is not a required technique when using 2 speed drills

north quiver
#

drills are not your primary combat tool, nothing wrong with a melee build but if you are not specc'd to actually use drills constantly in combat they should be mainly used for their stun/cc in tight spaces, or to deal with shockers/swarmers under certain circumstances

#

and for traversal

#

but this is a whole separate discussion than just stating the numbers

#

the fuel inefficiency is negligible and can be compensated for if you really want to gain the 2 meters by releasing drills momentarily

glacial topaz
#

The drill armor break tho

north quiver
#

true but usually the armor be broken by teammate so i never considered it 🤔

#

and crspr ignores armour that might be outdated actually but i cant remember while cryo negates it

#

: ^]

glacial topaz
#

Not that I ever used for that, only that time I wanted to mess with prae

gusty bridge
#

i wonder if you strip the armour (eg from a distant PGL shot) do they take increased direct damage from CRSPR?

north quiver
#

also, (since you pinged me and are here; more about drill fuel), drills work on ticks, there are 4 ticks per one fuel, each tick is the aoe that removes the terrain

#

so if you rev the drills but dont trigger a tick you dont lose any fuel

#

i dont have any info on damage, my knowledge was tested and found to be incorrect before i took a break and i dont know updated info

lost perch
north quiver
#

flamer damages through armour but is still affected by armour damage reduction

#

(afaik)

#

so it doesnt really "ignore" it

lost perch
#

Flamer and cryo use spray attack, while armor mechanic affect only direct damage

#

otherwise you wouldn't be able to damage a praetorian

indigo kindle
#

MeatShield's calc says Flamer/Cryo direct damage ignores armour completely; I'll quote him:
"The second of the three main Types of damage, Area Damage ignores Armor, Weakpoints, and the Frozen Status Effect. Any Area Damage inflicted to a creature simply reduces their healthbar. Not all Area Damage is dealt in an Area-of-Effect, like Embedded Detonators or Explosive Reload. Area Damage can be any of these 5 elements: Kinetic, Explosive, Fire, Frost, or Electric."

Currious about how long the fear lasts for Aggressive Venting? Theres a formula on the Fear page and was really curious about how long fear actually lasts-but it requires 'max movespeed in terms of m/sec'

And stuff seemed so dang well documented I thought it might have been hidden away somewhere I didn't see

meager nimbus
#

I do wonder, does chain hit chain hit again if the richochet also hit weak spot?

#

What does "lightning fast reload" mean for m1g

#

And how long does that buff last

glacial topaz
#

that is why they need the speed

lost perch
#

Fear duration depend on many factors

glacial topaz
#

distance / speed = time

nocturne crag
#

^ I just shortened it to duration but you're right its not a set value

worldly salmon
#

Fear is not nessecarily a time value

#

But that’s established

#

like, fear will last for as long as it takes le bug to walk far enough

#

and the distance increases with fear strength

#

or maybe distance isn’t inherently affected, more like certain abilities force bugs to run away further

lost perch
worldly salmon
#

fear factor affects chance only, yeah

#

I was checking for anything that modified fear distance but I couldn’t find anything so I presume it is not a thing

glacial topaz
#

well, I have that for max speed on some enemies, not counting the fear speed boost, and difficulty multiplier
Grunt = 290 ; Slasher= 310 ; Guard = 270 ; Praetorian= 200 ;radioactive prae = 250

austere fossil
#

aren't those cm/s?

glacial topaz
#

they are

#

now just have to multiply by 1.5 and know the difficulty to know if the time it takes for fear to run away is correct, considering flat terrain and all, probably messes up if glyhpids have to climb up or turn

Quick question on sticky flames, does flow rate impact the amount of flames that you can produce?

sand lantern

And vice versa

Which makes fuel stream diffuser quite nice for non sticky fuel builds.

Since the increased range allows you to aim far away and aim down to make a wall of flames for very little fuel due to lower RoF.

Just to clear any confusion: Hollow Bough insect swarms stayed alive even after the nest was destroyed. That's a bug. It has been fixed in hotfix 9, if there's any evidence to the contrary - report it in #bug-discussion.

sand lantern
#

I even don't know why it exists in the first place

radiant edge
#

Quick question, does difficulty scaling apply to damage dealt or enemy health?

#

I seem to be misreading something on the wiki

glacial topaz
#

what are you misreading

radiant edge
#

Ok never mind, it's damage dealt, the health numbers displayed for enemies is just the eHP

#

I was just trying to figure out how fragile's mechanic factors into the resistance scaling

sand lantern
#

Now I'm confused as well

radiant edge
#

So I'm guessing against a grunt on haz 5, it'll only deal 100%/1.2 of the enemy's remaining health

glacial topaz
#

"This means any enemy with a scaling modifier of greater than 1 can't be directly killed by Fragile"

radiant edge
#

Righto

#

About 83% of the remaining health

glacial topaz
#

since damage will always be the value left for hp, but difficulty will always make it less than it is, for those cases

#

for damage taken by players, are we just getting weaker or the creatures stronger?

radiant edge
#

Now that's a real brain teaser

glacial topaz
#

about fragile, I always thought it was different against Grunts, but there is no mention of that last I checked

sand lantern
#

What do you mean after different?

glacial topaz
#

doing more damage to slashers, grunts, guards just for having them frozen no matter the hp, so I remember their hp going down fast

bold plover
#

I know @floral drift had somewhat recently discovered more info about fragile.

#

I don't think I understood what it was though, kind of forgot.

floral drift
#

oh, yeah, Fragile

#

it works against every enemy the same way

radiant edge
#

We're having fun with maths

floral drift
#

once their "internal" HP is less than 100, it has a 1-HP/100 probability to do the remaining internal HP's value as some kind of typeless damage. I guess it might be Kinetic or Internal, but there's no way for me to tell. because that damage is still affected by the Difficulty Scaling Resistance, it can't get the killing blow vs Large Creatures above Haz2/4p, Haz3/3p, or Haz4/2p, and not against Normal Creatures on Haz4+

#

because Grunt's internal HP is just 90, that means that if they get frozen by Snowball or Cryo Grenade, the first particle will have a 10% chance to do 90 damage.

radiant edge
#

Yea I was doing some testing myself and was surprised about the resistance scaling part

#

I had always assumed it did static damage under a certain threshold and a successful roll

glacial topaz
#

well, other than Kinetic and internal there is still Pure and Typeless damage

glacial topaz
#

now that was odd, from 100 to 0% on Drilldozer, haz2, no bulks or anything I could identify, also magma core, and drilling ommoran

#

also, interesting to see the machine is called Drilldozer on the laserpointer, but using it on the head (at least after the mission ends , where you can carry it) displays Doretta

hot cedar
#

it probably considers the entire thing the drilldozer, and the head is doretta. which is what the dwarves refer to the head as when patting it as well so more evidence of that fact

bold plover
#

And it's called Escort_Mule.

glacial topaz
#

wait... the ommoran battle only mentions phases 2 and 4, why leave out 1 and 3 ?

kind epoch
#

because 1 and 3 are just swarms, nothing special

bold plover
#

Probably because nothing special happens.

glacial topaz
#

how is getting a swarm not special

#

if it was just waiting sure

kind epoch
#

I mean you can add them if you want

#

I'm just bad at english so I avoid adding too many things when I'm unsure about how to phrase them

hot cedar
#

i guess whoever didn't add them was afraid there wouldn't be much content to add for those phases

glacial topaz
#

is the enemy spawn amount the same for all phases, or it increases on 1 and 3 ?

kind epoch
#

not sure, it always seems like there is way less enemies on phase 2, I don't know for the rest

#

does Unstoppable help with slasher's stun effect ?

weary sonnet
#

No effect on the slasher attack from what I can see.

kind epoch
#

we gotta pin the message at this point....

#

Azure Weald pillars give 50% damage resistance to both players and enemies while inside their effect, and for 15 seconds afterwards

#

likewise, the magic pit grants low gravity and +30% movespeed for 15s

ionic hedge
#

havent seen the pit yet

floral drift
#

nor have i -- either it's extremely rare or it just isn't spawning

ionic hedge
#

where does it spawn?

floral drift
#

Azure Weald

#

it's supposed to be mutually exclusive with the pillars

#

so if you have a mission with pillars, there's no way the pit can spawn

#

I think we can keep it, but it is more as a last resort when lacking damage than a full tactic.

#

Since if you miss one you will die.

glacial topaz

not sure how to feel about saying it is a glitch

I think we can remove the part saying it is a glitch while keeping the rest.

#

will keep the first part which is the important one, no need for a video or saying it may be patched,

B: anyone can edit the wiki, it's not the responsibility of just 10 people. if you see something either incorrect or missing, you can fix it instead of waiting for someone else to notice it too.
C: i'm not the only person who knows this -- Banagement was the first one to report the info, and several other people in the wiki channel know this info too. you can't place the blame entirely on me.
D: my expertise is in weapon mechanics, i just happened to know the answer to that question because it's been asked in this channel a minimum of 4 times.

bold plover

#

don't take it personally, I'm just asking why the people having access to those infos don't add them to the wiki - instead of just saying them here and waiting for the other persons that don't know them like me, to read it and copy them instead

#

but anyway, doesn't matter

bold plover
#

I generally don't have time during the day and I don't care enough when I am free, but mostly because I don't really remember how to edit stuff since it has been so long.

#

Speaking of which, need to get all of the combos for Brigade weapons to add to the full gallery of weapon combos.

#

Which I assume is still not on the wiki?

glacial topaz
#

don't think so

#

does it not work for critters / passive creatures ? also unsure if saying it lasts 15 seconds after leaving is the best way to describe it, even if it is what happens in pratice

kind epoch
#

does that mean it stops scaling during refueling, which is not a dig phase ? Would that mean the scaling basically doesn't matter in term of time pressure as it can't be controlled by players ?

glacial topaz
#

interesting thing, remember talking about it here, but no idea what was the conclusion,

grave swift
# glacial topaz hmm...

W H A T?!?! Did we get anyone testing this?! Because if we did, I have a new Doretta strategy 👀

weary sonnet
# kind epoch does that mean it stops scaling during refueling, which is not a dig phase ? Wou...

That would be the logical conclusion.
The only way I have to verify it would be to check the music played during the different phases of the missions.
Since the files I found about that basically listed 3 things: the phase name, scaling condition and music playlist.
So we could find the exact switch time by finding the time the music stop looping and the playlist change since there is not much overlap (well and if there is some overlap for this particular case we can probably mod it a bit to change the playlist for the test).

#

A bit hard to check for me because I don’t bear sound, so I need to play with a very low volume which doesn’t help when trying to find a music change.

glacial topaz
#

Perhaps I can help somehow later, be creative and all

weary sonnet
#

Not sure how important it would be to check that.
The question at first was which mission have a scaling similar to PE.
I may be able to limit the playlist to one songs per phase, not sure it will work, but it should be easy to test.
(I will try that on PE a bit later.)

low hamlet
#

?

glacial topaz
#

what would be the other option if not coming with set amounts

low hamlet
#

being randomly set in a certain range

gusty bridge
#

i mean is there size 1 vein with 20 minerals, and a size 10 vein with 80 minerals etc

glacial topaz
#

you mean preset and not range ?

gusty bridge
#

and it doesn't matter how you mine a size 1 vein, you can only get 20 minerals max

#

that sort of thing

#

i'm not sure.

#

as Gold rush maps have extra "long" veins too

glacial topaz
#

are you just curious or is there a reason to know that

gusty bridge
#

curious mostly, but it would be useful to be able to estimate minerals on sight for Haz5 Nitra

glacial topaz
#

I thought it was for oil shale

gusty bridge
#

that too

glacial topaz
#

I guess that is just based on size, with different sizes within a range

glacial topaz
#

on another note, interesting how mission control audio won't work if you don't have Soud Effect volume up

Okay, so I was recommended coming in here with my question:

I don't know where to ask exactly, but could someone help me with exporting the game's models (and textures if possible)? I tried doing it via UE Viewer but it crashes everytime I try do it. (and I guess it's connected to this channel since I want to use it for fan arts and such)

glacial topaz
#

are you setting it to version 4.25 ?

sand lantern
#

Done

#

||He didn't||

low hamlet
#

heh

glacial topaz
#

wait, why I don't have the scale brigade for driller as an option, but have finished the assignment already ?

bold plover
#

It is the stock skin if you are using the brigade armor.

glacial topaz
#

smh

#

thx

low hamlet
#

heh

glacial topaz
#

huh, as long as you don't kill the Dread, you can't get more swarms on Mining expedition ?

kind epoch
#

it's on the hotfix 4

#

no swarm during dread

glacial topaz
#

that just seems like random spawns, not swarms

kind epoch
#

true, I mentally included swarms in it, and never had it happen during dreads either, but it could be proven otherwise

glacial topaz
#

where would be the best place to have mining Expedition swarm type + delays ? the swarm page, the Mining page, or ?

tranquil hazel
#

So, I've browsed this channel for the answer but couldn't find it. Anyway, I know that the game doesn't have many textures, materials rather, but when I exported those they have been saved as text files. Now, is it possible to convert them in any way for Blender?

glacial topaz

would probably be interesting to know what really happens here

  • Tweaked the Plasma Bursters grenade friendly fire modifier from 100% to 50% (of Normal friendly fire reduction)

so would that mean friendly fire for the plasma burster is now 25%?

with the perk ?

low hamlet
#

without

of Normal friendly fire reduction

glacial topaz
#

that they reduced it , yes, but I am pretty sure it shouldn't be like that

they said they decreased it by 15%, but not compared to the normal ammount, which means the first value could be anything else

Hello miners, can ask you what is this Matrix Core? First time i see it and i don't know what does it mean. Thanks!

last I remember it just means you will get a bunch of Bismor (that one) when you craft it or something,

#

pretty sure it will appear on the forge, guessing we didn't put it on the wiki yet ?

i searched on the wiki. no results on the matrix core section. so it will appear like a matrix core to forge to obtain bismor?

They're actually pretty good if you need credits/minerals for a promotion. 120 for 600 credits is 30 times better than regular price at the trade terminal, or you can immediately sell them for a net 5400 credit profit.

I have a question, it says in the description of cryo minelets that it's always 10 freezing power, yet I've heard on this discord it scales off of the zhukovs damage number. I assume that the wiki is correct here?

glacial topaz
#

never ever heard about damage affecting freezing power, so if you can't notice any difference in the game it is probably false, if you can, might be a missing piece of info

floral drift
#

to the best of my knowledge, Zhukovs' OC "Cryo Minelets" does 10 Cold regardless of the Zhukov's damage

glacial topaz

is it really not Red ?

it's red....

can we go ahead and merge this? ive already started the first bit, but this had been like this for months

glacial topaz

Cryo Minelets only have a 70% chance to exist per ammo consumed from what I saw a while back.

I could probably change it to 0% and see if that actually prevents minelets, just to verify.

Knowing cryo mine only has one file, I'd bet its power is fixed

how is this ? they changed gk2 to m1000 for acid spitters

gk2 with that AI oc though

webspitter, is "are some of best to take out" even correct grammar wise ? "long effective range" doesn't seem to make much sense, what that even means

Happy to have helped

glacial topaz
#

huh, seems that Oversized Valves just increase the RoF by +1.8, and not 30%, reviewing the values now that we know OC happens after Mods

indigo kindle
#

Just checked, it is indeed +1.8 RoF in the game files (which technically equals to 30% of a base FT's RoF).

#

And Face Melter's bonus is also +1.8 RoF in the game files, so it's just easier for the Wiki to scrap the entire percentage thing.

glacial topaz
#

Some stuff are still %, but now I can tell when it really is
On a similar note I tried checking how fast the spin control spins for BC and so far 33 is the only thing I could find, but not sure if that means anything

low hamlet

im going to try to edit the updated template to have it say "This page is possibly not up to date" if you leave the update part blank

#

i dont exactly know how those work super clearly (ive fiddled with it before) so i might for help

glacial topaz
#

for CRSPR is the correct Rate of Fire, or Fuel Flow Rate ?

radiant edge
#

They both appear to be the same

#

I guess just get rid of rate of fire since the mods say fuel flow rate

sand lantern
#

||Could be a good pun but we're not GSG||

indigo kindle
#

Fuel Flow Rate is the term used in the game, but since it's identical to RoF anyway...

#

The long explanation for It Burns! under the Unique Modifications section on the Wiki's Flamethrower page still lists Sticky Flames Damage as a recommended mod despite it ceasing to exist since Flamethrower's rebalance (was it U28?)

glacial topaz
#

tbf, why does that section even exists, the thing is already explained on the mod section, as 13% per fuel, everything else is just recommendations

indigo kindle

Need to hyperlink Fear page into that mod's effect description IMO.

There's also an issue with the hover tooltip when you mouse over the text in brackets for this mod. It still references "see the Stats Breakdown part for more info". That could be cut.

now that is specific , explosive reload is x0.49 clip, not x0.5, also wondering, should we use +100% base spread, or x2 base spread ? latter would be better ? went with later, checking EPC now

yep. putting {{Updated}} on a page should now output This page is possibly not up to date.

dang it

ok i think i fixed it

#

ok should be good now :)

indigo kindle
# floral drift i suspect that GSG coded Subata OC "Explosive Reload" mag size as `round(0.49 * ...

If the mag ends up as x.5 as the result of a multiplier, it's rounded down. It's anything above that is rounded up. Source: just did some testing with Subata ER checking the magsize rounding interactions in general. In particular, I set that penalty to x0.5 and x0.51 in two consecutive tests. First one gave me 8 magsize with 12 default + 5 from T1 magsize, second gave me 9 magsize as the result.

glacial topaz
#

for EPC should we use all the heat as absolute units, such as 1, or %, so 100% ?

Engineer up next, but might check drills first

Apparently the Employee of the Month board doesn't exist anymore at all, not even in the main bar. Went searching for it based on the wiki page about the Abyss Bar, but it's gone.

could do with a notation that it's an outdated feature in some capacity, assuming it doesn't come back in the future.

glacial topaz

your game is probably just bugged

indigo kindle

This is a known bug, affects all platforms atm. One of the hotfixes completely broke the EotM board display.

Current EotM is overstaying his month until GSG fixes the display (source: regulars chat)

high saffron
#

gotcha.

radiant edge
#

For the Reinforced Power Drills, does the mining rate correspond with the tool's fuel consumption rate?

#

Like for the base of 1.5 mining rate, is that 1.5 fuel expended per second?

glacial topaz
#

pretty sure that is rate, not fuel cost

#

shouldn't be too hard to check out the fuel usage too, or at least a rough estimation through gameplay

radiant edge
#

Hm, I was thinking that that was the case since the increased drill speed mods also increases the consumption rate

floral drift
spark ridge
#

alright, so say I had a frozen target, affected by IFG. in this case, i am shooting at it with the zhukovs, with conductive bullets.
how would the damage be calculated? would it be calculated by:
zhuk_damage * 3*(1.3+1.3)?
or
zhuk_damage * 3 * 1.3 * 1.3?

floral drift
#

the latter.

Conductive Bullets and Frozen affect the Damage per bullet, IFG affects the damage taken by the Creature. so it would be (Damage * 1.3 * 3) * 1.3

spark ridge

ah, thanks!

fading lion
#

Just out of curiosity, how confident are we in the new dreads' wiki data?

glacial topaz
#

did you find something wrong

glacial topaz
#

technically resistances are missing since I could not get them, but if there is a value it should be correct

short cloud
#

I guess they are not going to differ too much from the OG dread. At least for the hiveguard.

glacial topaz
#

last I heard the way the damage resistance is tested is via shooting in game and checking the damage, so feel free to do some tests, on twins and hiveguard, well, might be easier said than done, but there is that

weary sonnet

For endemic/banned enemies per biome:

Can’t update it for now, I will check if the wiki has the whole list right tomorrow if it is not done in the meantime.

weary sonnet
#

Banned mission type:Point extract pour le korlok.

glacial topaz

would this be correct ?

also, shouldn't this be x2, instead of +0.3 RoF scaling ?

mystic shell

Hey Guys, sorry to barge in here like this, but since your the experts regarding game files, I figured to ask here: I wanted to know if there is a way to extract drillers "yeeet" voicline? I want to use it as a ringtone on my phone.

#

Can it just be found somewhere in the game folder. Or does one have to perform black magic to get the audio file out of there?

floral drift
glacial topaz
#

hue, only reason to use the actual in game correct value is in case something changes in some update

bold plover
#

Afaik all voice lines are all about engineer in pitch, the game uses different pitch values to alter the voice lines per class.

glacial topaz
#

hue, I forgot that detail when I was about to get the voice line

radiant edge
#

A simple UE viewer should suffice to get audio files

glacial topaz
#

did you listen to every single line of dialogue until you heard the "yeet"

radiant edge
#

Just 11 of them lol

#

I knew it was under impact axe

glacial topaz
#

on equipment page, curious on how bosco is the only one that doesn't have their full name displayed,

glacial topaz
#

how fast does it take to Focus with M1000 ? trying to figure out how the values I got work, so some in game info might make it easier

floral drift
#

1/(1.55 * Focus Speed Multiplier) to fully charge up a Focused Shot, with 1/RoF second delay before you can charge up the next Focused Shot

glacial topaz
#

now that is interesting, and should be on the wiki, also it seems it is a value added, not %, so 0.46 for charging coils, and 0.31 for the other one

floral drift
#

30% of 1.55 is 0.465, 20% is 0.31, so that tracks.

glacial topaz
#

technically I had found the 0.46 and 0.31 values first, did some math to find that the base speed should be 1.55, until I confirmed it was indeed the value

#

should that be on the M1000 stats tables, or a different section ?

floral drift
#

personally, i would place it in an "understanding the weapon" kind of section rather than the main table

#

since it's a moderate amount of information to detail and explain

glacial topaz
#

doesn't seem like too much information, the mods will appear on their section, so you only need the base speed (1.55), the required charge (1), and the cooldown (1/rof), curious how rof is used and not focus

glacial topaz
#

how is this

floral drift
#

it doesn't account for Hipster increasing RoF to 7, by extension lowering the cooldown to 1/7

glacial topaz
#

well, that is why it says 1 / Rate of fire

#

and only the base value is displayed for reference

glacial topaz
#

on another note, if you stop shooting with the AC does the RoF resets completely ?

indigo kindle
#

Yes.

glacial topaz
#

Brutal

glacial topaz
#

What if we make a template for weapons that has info on them being affected by freeze, weakpoints, armor, etc etc ?

radiant edge
#

Actually I'm pretty sure the AC allows a small window where you can go back to firing at max RoF

glacial topaz
#

Well, would be nice to know, because if it is the case I know the values already

#

Seems like shooting ground until max rof, stopping, and hitting something should t

radiant edge
#

What exactly are you trying to figure out

mystic shell
glacial topaz
glacial topaz
#

for Drills "Heat removal on Damage" is it 20% per kill ?

bold plover
#

Yes, Unstoppable does allow that.

#

While the description of Dash is incorrect for what it does in-game, it and Unstoppable use the same system so if they make Dash properly work vs enemy slowdowns it will apply to Unstoppable too.

#

So they do plan on fixing that but they have to separate their systems.

glacial topaz
#

other than a weapon's intereaction with Armors, Weakpoints, and Freeze, is there any other interaction that might be nice to have ?

bold plover
#

Maybe how the final Subata upgrades, Stubby and Zhukov bonus damages work?

#

Haven't looked at the pages for those, but I assume people are curious about what it actually boosts and is it worth it for breakpoints.

glacial topaz
#

don't think there is even anything to explain about that that isn't there

bold plover
#

Alright.

radiant edge
#

Are you trying to figure out like how long of a window that brief second is?

glacial topaz
#

I wasn't sure if you were sure it happened

#

M1 ?? I am talking about AC

lost perch
#

And yeah, AC saves its rof for a brief moment, but i'm not sure if rof resets to zero or quickly goes down to zero

glacial topaz
#

feel that wasn't a good spot for it, the table should take care of it, and how does it really interact anyway ? not a fan of the "seems"

lost perch
#

AFAIK all damage resistances stack multiplicatively

weary sonnet
glacial topaz
#

meaning that if you have veteran depositing at 30% and the AC mod with 33%, you resist 1 / (1.33 * 1.3), so ~42.1% ?

weary sonnet

PST_DamageResistance:
    Starting value: 1
    Stacking Type: Multiplicative

Vet depositor is ×0.7
Autocannon is ×0.7 as well
If you have both you end up with 49% damage resistance or 51% damage taken.

wait... when I checked the value it seemed to be 0.33 for AC

weary sonnet
#

FSD\Content\WeaponsNTools\Autocannon\STE_AutoCanno_DamageResit
I just checked them here, are they somewhere else as well?

For vet depositor I am not sure since there is two files, one with ×0.8 and one with ×0.7 so not sure which one is used.

glacial topaz
#

StatusEffectAtFullROF , at the UPG ones (FullRoFResits to be more specific)

weary sonnet
#

I think that one is only for the text display since it is missing the pawn stat, but I could be wrong.

glacial topaz
#

for now I will just say the are multiplicative, guessing there needs to be a round of special testing on resitances to be sure on which value it uses

glacial topaz

All of these are valid, not sure if they are good tips, but none of them are misleading at least.

# glacial topaz ??

I investigated into files a while ago, it's probable that Korlok de-aggroes whenever you get further than 45 meters away

#

Korlok has a weird aggro mechanic. I remember one play somewhere in July when wind launched me onto offspring head, it didn't trigger

#

And sometimes you just pass by and trigger it

Same goes for spitters, in rare cases it's possible to get to it from behind while it is dormant

Greetings, BRÖTHERS. I know oil shale is reduced when you extract it with anything but the fuel canister. I usually warn players on my party about that.

acoustic scarab
glacial topaz

perpetrared exists too though

acoustic scarab
#

It does, but "perpetuate" focuses on the process being drawn-out in time

#

"Perpetrate" is about causing or facilitating something illegal or immoral

glacial topaz
#

wasn't illegal, but maybe immoral

acoustic scarab
#

Look at examples of both words in sentences and you'll see that "perpetuate" fits better

glacial topaz

maybe using "long perpetuated harmful" myth would work too

acoustic scarab

In what way is it harmful that people believed bulks to be more likely to spawn in exploder infestation missions? 😄

weary sonnet
gusty bridge
# glacial topaz so, are both words right or ?

Perpetrated = action, usually by a specific person or group,
Perpetuated = a continuation/spread, related to perpetual.

in the case above:
You're speaking about how the myth is (was?) spread and continued by the ill-informed community, not how it was deliberately created by specific people.

long-perpetrated doesn't really make sense, but could mean the action of creating the myth took long.
long-perpetuated means the myth lasted a long time and spread far.

#

Yes, the only difference you can notice with the different method for getting the minerals should be rounding errors.

gusty bridge

do L.U.R.E and Pheromones each work regardless of enemy types? or is there some resistance stat in there like Fear/stun?

weary sonnet
#

I didn’t find any resistance stat for that, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Some enemies ignore lure and pheromone aggro completly, in particular all stationnary enemies, dread and q’ronar if it hasn’t changed since U32.

gusty bridge

lure wiki mentions use against spitball infectors, we're sure it's ineffective against them? if so i can kill that line.

by wiki you mean page ?

wicked cave
#

does damage from Zhukov embedded dets OC benefit from Conductive Bullets? couldn't find in the wiki

#

some steam threads on it, but inconclusive test results

weary sonnet
#

It doesn’t, only creature side damage modification apply, so IFG debuff and resistances from hazard level are the main thing that can affect it.

wicked cave
#

thanks. so cryo too?

#

or is that a different mechanic

weary sonnet
#

No, cryo doesn’t affect it since it behave like a one tick DoT.

wicked cave
#

so if enemy is in a frozen state, taking 300% more damage...is that creature-side damage mod?

#

(sorry, maybe I should read the wiki)

weary sonnet
#

Damage is only increased vs frozen enemies if the damage is single target and deal in a single instance.

glacial topaz

technically +200% since it is x3 damage

recently I posted most of my findings on ME Swarm delays, is there something else that would be nice to check , test, or know about ?

fading lion
#

Does the IFG effect increase damage from DoTs to bugs inside it?

#

It's something I've wondered many times and haven't gotten a hard answer before

#

Related question would be, does the warden defense buff resist DoTs as well? Anecdotally burning and poison appear to go through it, but it's not something I've tested directly beyond "burning hell sure makes warded grunts a lot easier to kill"

glacial topaz

IFG part can go on IFG page as soon as info is known, same for warden

tranquil hazel
#

is there any way to add icons or colors to the different damage types in order to make their existence more clear?

#

I don't mind doing it if it's possible and there's not already someone working on it

glacial topaz
#

doesn't seem necessary

low hamlet
#

we are also considering adding a damage types page similar to the one in the miners manual, which would pair well with your suggestion

#

it would just consist of taking icons from game files using unmodel i think, then making the page and all the content besides the icons

glacial topaz
#

that must be the 3rd or 4th time I hear about that, and still don't see how it would be any good, not counting the part where not all damage types have icons

kind epoch
#

so... what's the correct info ?

austere fossil
#

The explanation section. The "Description" column is the exact in-game description which, as you've noticed, is not accurate. The links were added to try and highlight that fact.

kind epoch
#

ok, I'll precise it then

tranquil hazel
#

So that people know, for example, that "explosive" is a type of damage

tranquil hazel
weary sonnet
#

About the creatures location that could use a double check:
Web Spitter are replaced by Frost Grunts in Glacial Strata
Q’ronar Shellback are banned in Salt Pits and Sandblasted Corridors
Korlok Tyrant-Weed are banned in Point Extraction Missions
Glyphid Brood Nexus are replaced by nothing in Glacial Strata (not sure why they didn’t use the ban option here)

gusty bridge
#

no web spitters i suppose makes sense, there's already so much slow effects in glacial

glacial topaz
#

I get the part of people knowing there is explosive type, but you already can tell that if you just go to the equip page, most damage , if not all already say which type they are
and if anyone is gonna check the wiki I think they are more likely to look at the equipment page than a generic damage type page,

gusty bridge
#

i think a damage types page would be useful

#

we can build it up and see how it looks

glacial topaz
#

useful to what

gusty bridge
#

to refer to for better understanding of the range of damage types etc. we have much of the info and there are people interested in it. I don't see a problem in starting creation of the page? Pog, Turtle, let me know if you want help. I'll have some time on my hands friday.

glacial topaz
#

people seeing there is a lot of damage types, how is that going to help them understand anything, if they want to know about things resisting types, that can just appear on creature pages, or even on the weapons page. Even if a few people are interested, they still weren't able to give a good reason, or even say what will it even have to be interesting

gusty bridge
#

I disagree. I think that having all damage types in one area to refer to would be useful and interesting.

glacial topaz
#

well, yes, but techcnially it would be nice to know why / how it is useful

#

what can only be explained in there that can not simply be on other existing articles, even saying what the thing will even have exactly, that is not just "a list of damage types with symbols" could show something interesting

gusty bridge
#

we will start it and flesh it out and see what it looks like. no harm.

glacial topaz
#

would rather know exactly what it will have so people don't go later "oh hey, there is nothing to post, why did we even start it"

#

a general damage page would most likely be more useful, listing how damage works, the formula, what boosts it, and more

weary sonnet
#

The only use I see for it would be the disambiguation of fire/frost vs heat/cold damage and maybe list the sources of resistances to that damage type if any.

glacial topaz
#

fire/frost heat/cold would be temperature page, no ? but could be fine as a section on a general page

weary sonnet
#

A temperature page would have no need to mention fire and frost, but it could work as well.

A general page would much more informative for sure

#

Than simply a damage types page.

glacial topaz
#

first section, explains how things have HP, and that damage diminishes that HP, until it reaches 0, also explaining how hazard level affect the damage, and not HP, further more, how different resistances (warden, veteran depositor, etc) affect it, as well as boosts (IFG, freeze),
on another section, you list the damage types and the sources, as well what resists it, a table maybe, also explain how to calculate damage vs something that is weak or resistant to something

#

Can link to health page for more info etc.

#

Would we include area damage page within it? Or link to it?

glacial topaz
#

area is too long to be just copy pasted, just link to it , but adding the aoe damage type would be fine, since 1 (one) thing resists it

#

"other than having a type, damage can be AoE or single target, AoE damage is resisted by [[Hiveguard crystals]] , for more information on how AoE damage is calculated, check [[Area dmg page]]" stuff like that

gusty bridge
#

also damage over time sources

#

do any creatures resist DOT as a type?

glacial topaz
#

that is important on what is boosted and not, so damage can be kinetic, fire, internal , etc AND DoT, AoE, and ST, from what I can tell

gusty bridge
#

yeah that makes sense

#

so damage types (DOT, AOE, ST)

damage elements (fire, normal, disintegration)

#

like that?

glacial topaz
#

not sure on names, but I guess so

gusty bridge
#

or "Categories" instead of "Types"

#

and then can use "Types" instead of "Elements"

#

as they do call out "elemental damage" as a sub type of damage in Elemental Resistance perk

#

I think I already have a list of damage type and matching resistances, with in game name, matching wiki name and a very short description (more like a reminder of what it is).
I will post it when I am back home.
Not sure about the names either, I am used to call fire, kinetic and such type, but their name in the files is DamageClass.
About what you call type, there is also Cloud or Aura and Spray which are variations I would say (basically a dot in a Sphere or Cone shape like praet gaz cloud, praet poison spit, radiation aura…).

Zone / Region ?

gusty bridge
#

ah perfect

#

sticking to "in-game" names would probably be best if it's available,
and then "in-files" names if it's not mentioned directly in-game.

#

That would be ideal if the game were consistent between the two. Unfortunately it isn't in the case of fire/ice.

gusty bridge
#

yeah they are inconsistent on some of their in game tooltips and descriptions aren't they?

austere fossil
#

iirc, "Burn" isn't mentioned anywhere, but is often referred to as Fire

#

Like Subata's Volatile Bullets

Bonus fire damage to burning targets.
Except that bonus damage is actually "Burn"

gusty bridge
#

we can go with Fire (aka burn, ignited, etc)

austere fossil
#

That's the current standard in the wiki

gusty bridge
#

grand

austere fossil
#

Behind the scenes -> Wiki
Burn -> Fire
Heat -> Heat
Fire -> Fire+Heat

glacial topaz
#

wait, so CRSPR actually heats stuff more than the heat value ?

austere fossil
#

No, its Burn and Heat are defined separately.

glacial topaz
#

says Fire damage on the wiki, and from what you saidf Fire, is Fire + heat, meaning it also heats,

austere fossil
#

fixed my message to be more clear

gusty bridge
#

the "Fire - > Fire + Heat" comment is the one that's confusing me a bit

#

ok i get it now

#

behind the scenes = in code/files

#

wiki = the name that we/sometimes the community use

#

right?

austere fossil
#

Yes

#

For the trio of fire related types this is done to reduce confusion on what does and doesn't apply heat.

#

Instead of assuming the reader would know about all three and that "Fire" actually means "damage+heat"

#

afaik, nothing has "heat resistance" beyond just having higher ignite/douse/cooling temperatures

gusty bridge
#

yeah, i like that the Karl.gg has removed all instances of "Heat Damage" and replaced with just "heat"

#

less confusion, as you said, Heat is not a damage type

weary sonnet
#

Well the thing is heat is a damage type, it just doesn’t affect health directly.

gusty bridge
#

haha fair

#

effects Temperature rather than health. I'd say we can probably prevent confusion by avoiding calling it damage though right?

austere fossil
#

Actually, that makes me wonder if IFGs increase heat damage as well...
