does not appear so

slow grove
#

yes there is

cerulean field
#

hows the EDD?

grizzled blade
short egret
#

Correct.

#

(When I mined the tiny bit in the back of the room, the little floating # said 0.4, and my inventory said 1.)

#

There is effectively EXACTLY 150 in stage 2.. and if any is destroyed some how (Bosco destroys minerals if its not enough for a full integer (must be 1+, cant be 0.9)) .. unsure if other methods (EPC, C4, Bulk) destroy or correctly chunk minerals reliably.

slow grove
#

well, maybe 0.4 gets rounded up to 1. I did mine little chunks of morkite, the 1 in my inventory appeared and nothing got deposited

#

maybe it was lower, like 0.2 or 0.3

short egret
#

Yea, I can only assume that if you have something like 15.2 and you mine 0.2 (shows as 1 in your bags) but then deposit it, main display is 15.4, but displays at 15 still.

#

In fact, I'm pretty sure Ive seen that happen before.

timber wraith
#

yall saying its "impossible" like i just did it with no issue

#

no beer

short egret
#

@timber wraith no? I'm literally saying its possible?

timber wraith
#

wasnt talkin about you ig i should have specified

west merlin
#

Oof, good to know. Is that only with rounding fractions? So you pretty much only need to care in a case like this where you need all on the map to succeed

#

It seems like the morkite generation on Escort Duties in particular must be overly stingy, although that's with a small sample size of having this problem twice

#

But basically everything in this game otherwise has more than enough of what you need, or exactly enough but very easy to find (ex eggs or mini-mules)

#

i am so sad

#

2:59:40 minus pausing

#

and no morkite

#

that stupid that there are not enuf morkite for people like me that dont like to min max minera entry

slender socket
#

the problem is that it requires a boost

grand spear
#

is there a problem with the deep dive elite ?

neat forum
#

The bug was acknowledged

Too bad that it happened in the first place, but it already happened

slender socket
#

when you have things like pot of gold which are far more appealing you cant expect people to sit and wait for dark morkite in the slight chance an error like this occurs

Kinda struggling a lot with that edd today

Unsure what it is

First is okay 2nd can be pain and 3rd i failed in the big room with all the spit ballers etc

I think i need cryo nade next time

Carrying chunk of anything into droppod, will it still count or do you HAVE to deposit it?

In general, you get XP and mineral/gold credit for anything still in your pockets when entering the pod. This is covered in the wiki.

Common Misconceptions

This is a collection of myths and misconceptions commonly passed along from player to player in lobbies. Some of these are based on real bugs that have been long since fixed, but the tale outlived its origin.

Last item in that list

#

Deep dive behavior is a little different IIRC if it isn’t the last stage. E.g. gold and nitra in your pockets at the end of stage 1 would still be in your pockets at the beginning of stage 2.

devout wing
#

silly little me on the first times at deep diving trying to take the excess morkite to the next stage

old widget
#

I do wonder what happens with crafting minerals (from a hoarder) on deep dives if you try to keep them in your pocket between stages

devout wing
#

Oh well

#

No dark morkite avaliable, time to test my luck lol

EDD stage 3, the game triggers extra enemies when players walk near a mini-mule. So, don't walk into those until your team has cleared the current wave. Killed me and my team a couple times now.

been looking for the last bit of morkite in this dive for about 25 minutes

I'm assuming a few would be chunks were destroyed by the heartstone, making it so tight?

The game also spawns extra enemies for 1 leg in every 4 when you pull it from the ground (no way to know which leg)

burnt sandal
#

good thing is you can spam supplies like crazy because the minimules gives nitra

#

about enough for a free supply

#

and it's stage 3

#

so you should have a good number by that time

i'm so glad I didnt go into this DD blind, not finding an extra 0.8 morkite would have been enraging

In general tho I feel like nitra could be limited a bit more, always find myself ignoring it in the end because I quickly gater 2 more supplie pods worth of nitra than I need

I wonder if Dark Morkite really gives you +20% Morkite as it says. If that's the case, you should have around 180 Morkite in DD stage 2, but I had about 220 🤔

#

wow

#

i got through DD stage 2

#

only for it to crash on third stage

i did DD twice and the i didn't even need to mine the latter half of the morkite

You just need to soak Up every little bit of morkite

And not leave few bits behind

Holy crap doing the triangulation stuff as scout especially with swarmageddon was the most stressful thing I've ever done

what's on the deep dive this week lads?

upbeat dirge
#

Is morkite destroyed by dozer?

#

maybe predrilling is the way

#

just failed a dive like this

humble sparrow
#

If it's DD part 2, there's a confirmed bug where there's really tight Morkite spawns, and Dark Morkite makes it much more doable.

its not on the pinned

the pinned is since 4/3

yea but it is the current one

it was editted

you can even see that people are complaining about shield disruption when it's not there

#

Just finished hosting a pub lobby that had Dark Morkite at the ready, stage 2 was no problem with it

#

for what its worth, stage 1 is made easier as well since morkite is an obj there too

god the EDD this week is such pain

This week's EDD right from the start.

sudden hare
#

just went thru the deepdive second stage
it did not spawn enough morkite

turned into a quest to dig to stage 3 by hand
ended up with a suicide by respoly for entire team deep within Compressed Granite to see if it would even get to us

glacial merlin
#

So, we were trying to do the deep dive, didn't spawn enough morkite, then right as we quit and have to actually go out and do something so we can no longer play, abyss bar offers dark morkite. I think the game is laughing at us.

shut sierra
#

apparently, it spawns exactly enough morkite

#

So I've heard

restive solstice
#

Yes, but its not always 150 morkite, it's often times 147-149

no you'll have to do the elite deep dive to get more rewards

#

It's been talked about everywhere. It's doable, but you have to handmine everything.

orchid granite
#

handmining doesn't guarantee in my experience

void vector
#

Also don't use Bosco to mine it, if you're soloing.

orchid granite
#

i think both times i remember mining one of those miniscule tiny bits left over, which can get rounded down to nothing afaik

#

as in, the bits so small it doesn't even tell you that you've picked up anything.

#

but both times it was definitely all hand-mined

#

i'm pretty sure neither time i went to 40/40 in my inv too, so it wouldn't have deleted a fractional leftover in picking up a chunk

#

i have no doubt there is actually ≥150 in the level itself

#

i just made sure to follow everybody's advice and still had the problem, twice.

prime pecan
#

Ok thank you <3

void vector
#

I just saw the threads and talk before going in, made sure to mine everything, got 150. Had to look another extra round for scraps after we got to the Ommoran, but got everything (with a tiny bit to spare.

there is enough morkite right? just barely enough?

#

is fat boy good on grenade launcher

jolly hazel
#

personally I'd say clean sweep/pack rat has it beat

#

fat boy is good for hazard 5 swarms though

#

9/10 times any wave you spawnkill with grenade launcher fat boy would have died from properly built clean OC too

#

although this week's edd stage 5 had an entire wall of glyphids spawn for us so fat boy would be nice there

#

also

burnt sandal
jolly hazel
#

fat boy has a minimum range, lasting consequences for a miss, and will result in team damage/kill if you shoot near teammates

#

turning the uplink into radioactive zone will wipe your team and it will be solely your fault

it is fun though

Me and my friends can't find all the morkite in stage 2 of the normal deep dives

Is there just not enough there?

it's my second attempt though

We had to abort it. We had 149/150

restive oak

still short

#

ahhh

#

Gotta mine every little scrap.

restive oak
#

so i have to wait for dark morkite drink to pass i guess

#

i did

void vector
#

And not blow any up with grenades/C4 etc.

restive oak
#

yea i handmine all my second run

#

mmm

void vector
#

Dark Morkite is the easiest yeah, I did it without so know it's doable, but it's right on the edge. Got exactly 150.

pallid scroll
#

We didn't though. We got it all we could find.

void vector
#

There's one tiny patch in the Ommoran heartstone room.

restive oak
#

that tiny patch gives me 0.1

void vector
#

ok I got 0.4

#

welps, either way devs know about the issue but might not have time to fix it this turn around, so getting Dark Morkite beers would be the only option unless you just rerun it until you get it.

I'm in pod 6 if anyone wants to do both deep dives

Strange thing is.. on the playstation platform theres extra nodes of morkite to the right of the ommoran

Aye, did the deep dive myself expecting shit.. was suprised to find plenty there with little issue

viscid sage
#

our group was abke to get all the morkite by the end of dorretas fuel stop

#

does the number of players influence the amount of morkite somehow, one guy had to leave at the start of stage 2

unique ore

if they did have morkite, it may cause rounding and remove some

woven saddle

This may sound stupid because I’ve never not did it but can you complete without secondary mission?

in a normal mission, yeah

gusty meteor

Deep dives require both to be done.

dd and edd need both obj done

aborted the mission

i was kinda softlocked

it's definitely easier with dark morkite, but it is doable without if you mine carefully and don't leave any crumbs behind

i combed though the entire cave

there were no crumbs left at all

Engineer-Gemini, Defender System. Works well for that. Set them caddy corner around Doretta while you mine. But yes, game is great with friends and this DD needs dark morkite sadly.

is it possible to get more matrix cores by completing the same regular deep dive multiple times over?

No. Weekly core hunt, DD, and DDElite all only give the rewards once.

if you can handle haz 4 comfortably, you should be fine

If you're gonna solo the EDD I'd recommend skipping all gold and moving fast and careful. But yeah once you unlock DDs your high enough lvl for EDD. Just depends on if you got the skills and a good loadout.

any tips on wwhere to go for loadout discussions builds etc?

That I can't tell you. I come her for memes and announcements. Haha! Possibly the speedrun chat. They gotta have the best builds I would guess. But whatever you're comfortable with is probably best. That and make sure you got a good overclock on some weapons.

other people's opinions don't matter

just run whatever you're comfortable with and never hesitate to test and experiment by yourself instead

if it wasn't specified on the invite though, that's another problem ofc

well i saw one bugged spot but

dull sonnet

There's barely enough morkite on the map to achieve the objective if you do 100% efficient mining

#

Most people end up with between 143 and 149 morkite out of the 150 you need

#

Oops! No morkite

So you gotta abandon and wait for dark morkite beer to appear

i'm stuck with 146

dull sonnet
#

yup then I think you're screwed

gusty meteor
#

The consensus is the ommoran ate the morkite spawns in the last room on PC
In Playstation at least it spawned the extra morkite on the right side of room where the ommoron didn't get the veins

azure dew
#

Weird, I got through last night no issue

dull sonnet
#

The devs know the bug is there but they're on easter break so it wont be fixed, they've just said you'll have to use dark morkite or just hope you get every last pixel of morkite and dont use bosco for any morkite mining

when it's about nitra it's just a difficult DD but when i can't fkn finish objective....

yup, most of us had the same issue, you really do just gotta abandon and try again, ideally with dark morkite beer

if you dont take dark morkite you cant finish it

I finished it without Dark Morkite.

And so have plenty of others.

we got all the morkite

I tried again was super careful (no dark morkite) and we got screwed again but this time by 1.

Stage 3 main cave is a gauntlet that floods you with enemies for solid 5 minutes. Itll take some effort to break through. Other than that? Nothing much.

I feel like I’m going insane. I’m on stage two of normal deep dive and cannot find my last 1 piece of morkite.

Due to a CONFIRMED Morkite softlock on DD Stage 2, it is recommended to start with Dark Morkite!

Can you take Morkite from the first stage into the second one? You can bring Nitra from one stage to the other in your inventory...

this 149 morkite in DD is BS, we spend 30 mins and found tiny shards , 1 but molly didnt count that

dont do standard deep dive without dark morkite

if for some reason you are doing standard deep dive without dark morkite make sure that you never have full morkite while mining becouse those 0.1`s of morkite are just enough to finish it

ended the stage frantically hopping between volleys of mactera spam and scrambling toward the drop pod with no ammo left whatsoever

thankfully stage 2 is quite generous with the nitra

hey guys

was directed here

#

i'm in a deep dive with my bro and we can't find the last .something sliver of morkite

#

is it possible that it just didn't generate?

little timber
#

well it did generate

#

and then was replaced by the heartstone

#

dont do the mission until you have dark morkite

#

or do it and dont let your bags fill up as to not round

#

the former is much easier

manic quiver
#

bro i'm literally IN the second phase of the missions and we've hit every visible morkite vein.

little timber
#

right as mentioned its bugged

#

its a quirk of the terrain generation

manic quiver
#

So we're just out of luck then?

little timber
#

yea sorry

#

if you dont let your bag fill it wound round badly and you can get exactly 150/150 but its not easy

manic quiver
#

fuck

#

well

#

thank you anyways

#

i do appreciate the response

#

damnit and we've been on a hard losing streak with these.

true oyster
#

bro i feel bad, i had a 4 stack and dark morkite to demolish the deep dive, but then i get a small temporary network error because i cant get ethernet to this room, all of the peeps get DC'd and dont join back, so i have to finish the deep dive on my own.

I still feel like an ass.

Sure is, but its only really tough when you enter the room for the first time, once your team has cleared it out and gets the ball rolling it should be much better

It also helps to use builds which have aoe to deal with those pesky swarms

decided go in and try the dd
I told the driller what he needs to do (morkite bug), and everyone else
we start... I reiterate... he says "got it"
first morkite node, the driller pick axes the morkite
I said... "Well, we failed... driller just used his pick axe. Bai."
then quit

then they kicked me.

Maybe his driller didnt have dark morkite

wispy monolith
#

With the beer you have 60 morkite too much, so you don't need the first vein necessarily.

wispy monolith
#

The more I observe it, the more I believe the beer rotation is either bugged or doesn't work like the wiki claims.

Because it doesn't reset every 30 minutes (sometimes it does) or it hits the same beer 3 times in a row.

And yes, I left the team, I even restarted the game.

though i hope managment would at least throw some credits our way for this mess up

void vector

I hope not.

proven oxide

got limited playtime due to a job and putting an hour down the drain through no fault of my own isn't exactly pleasant

void vector
#

If anything I hope they introduce a message of the day that they can easily modify when people log in, so warn of these kinds of issues. It's been talked about for 4 days straight, there's youtube videos about it, it's on twitter, reddit, Discord, steam forums. Fact that people still run into it just shows they're entirely disconnected from the community, and need an ingame warning.

proven oxide
#

i dont look at their twitter everytime i boot up the game yknow

void vector
#

It's not exactly pleasant but this is a once in a half a year (if not longer) occurance. I'm sure you'll survive without some extra credits.

proven oxide
#

plus there were no pings related to this

void vector
#

Possibly due to easter break, this was just about the most unfortunate coincidence.

#

And yeah I know you don't look at their twitter (or any other source of information likely) which is why I specifically said that an ingame source of information would be nice.

#

Until then though perhaps you can make it a habit to spend an extra 30 seconds coming onto Discord to check/ask if there are any issues before doing deep dives. Up to you of course.

What the f is up with this weeks deep dive...
1st Stage: Welcome to hell, hope you like not having ammo and running back and forth with 8 goo bombers constantly harassing you
2nd Stage: Ohh hey there neighbour, hope youre comfortable. You want a nice slice of Nitra? I put those eggs you were supposed to get down their so just take em whenerver you wanna get going. Also the twins wanna play alittle.

Just joined the discord, and I am wondering it if even is possible to beat the deep dive without a driller on the team

sage crater
#

you need a driller doing exactly what the guy in the video says

open anchor
#

Since my friend and I are a promoted scout and gunner respectively, we don't quite have a driller available

#

I've heard from the reddit that some people managed to beat it by scraping the walls clean with a pickaxe, contrary to AxisKronos statement

sage crater

Ive done that and im at 147

#

Pain

sage crater
#

not missing anything

#

i was thinking that some fell out into the void but i see its just a horrible secondary task

open anchor
#

According to reddit, here's what we have to do:

Scrape the walls clean.
NEVER fill your inventory entirely, deposit before you reach the cap.

sage crater
#

yeah

open anchor
#

Did it work?

sage crater
void vector
#

Not sure what a driller has to do with it, I completed the dive and was mining all the morkite as scout.

sage crater
#

im just agreeing

open anchor
#

Driller makes sure the chunks always drop in a consistent manner

sage crater
void vector
#

Ah right.

open anchor
#

Ok so do we start mining from center and then outwards or do we mine it in a spiraling fashion, moving inwards as we mine?

void vector
#

Then in theory you can do the same without a driller but making sure you never hit the morkite itself, just the terrain?

open anchor
#

Yep, but it's difficult

#

Driller can pull it off effortlessly

#

Rocky mountain can probably be used as an alternate beer if we're careful

sage crater

i cant be bothered anymore lol

You just have to mine every little scrap, and don't let your mineral bag get full.

failing because the game does a math fart when u full your inventory is not exactly a positive experience xD

No of course it's not a positive experience, but how many missions have you played, and how many times have you had a negative experience due to game mechanics? Vanishingly small I'd guess?

the maths rounding is fine if they put more than exactly 150.0 morkite in the map

in this week's deep dive, i can't seem to get enough morkite in the 2nd mission (always 149/150). anyone having this problem? happened three times now.

#

Last cave was spicy enough that I saved the seed, gonna see if the "replay a level if you know its seed" mod will regenerate it

wait for dark morkite or try your luck with some of the other strats here

rigid venture
#

My guys, I can't find morkite for the second stage of the normmal deep dive

#

Any tips?

void vector
#

Wait for Dark Morkite beer.

rigid venture
#

What the heck?

void vector
#

You can either mine every tiny piece of Morkite, making sure you never have a full mineral bag while mining it, and make 100% sure you don't hit any of it with weapons fire or explosions... that'll get you 150 on the mark... or you can wait for Dark Morkite.

Very nice, who thought this was a good idea?

jolly hazel
#

its painful to keep tabs on this channel

#

do people not read previous messages lol

rigid venture
#

So if I wasn't here on the discord channel was I supposed to rub my face on the cave's wall ad nauseam for who knows how long?

jolly hazel
#

yeah basically

void vector
rigid venture
#

This is beyond stupid

rigid venture
jolly hazel
#

punish the hazard 3 players

#

sigma mindset

void vector
#

The cave generation and its check seemingly work since the game does check that there's enough. But after this they'll have to put in a bit of a safety margin.

jolly hazel
#

id be interested what the minimum nitra check is

rigid venture
#

Don't they test the seeds before haand?

jolly hazel
#

always feels like 3 resups

rigid venture
#

They do, since they posted about it

tall meadow
#

This is an extremely rare case and it’s been hundreds of deep dives since something like this occurred

rigid venture
#

Why not just pick another seed?

void vector
#

It's tested, and there's 150 morkite.

jolly hazel
#

they don't test them

rigid venture
#

I'm beyond seething

void vector
#

Tested in the sense that the game checks that there's enough.

tall meadow
#

Kek it’s just a small rare thing

jolly hazel
#

the devs do them after the first few speedrunners here do them

tall meadow
#

I’ll just wait for the dark morkite beer

jolly hazel
#

or just do the edd

#

and wait for dark morkite

void vector
#

Perhaps it's best that you turn off your computer and go for a walk then @rigid venture , and come back after next reset on thursday. Maybe even give it a day and check in on Friday to see what we have to say.

rigid venture
#

It's noth that small a thing, because having to get he time to get through these with my friends and coordinate availabilities

tall meadow
#

Well nothing much we can do

#

Crap happens

rigid venture
#

I'm malding

tall meadow
#

And this is just an extremely rare time we’ve seen something like this

rigid venture
#

Anyway thanks for the info my dudes

tall meadow
#

So no point losing head over it

brazen cape
#

Honestly we got sick of so many attemps that we just cheesed the black box and the mule defense missions. Dug a very small bunker that can't spawn enemies, then left after it was done

midnight citrus
#

I heard somewhere that doing another mission refreshes the bar

old widget
#

It’s time based, so kinda.

#

Refreshes when the mission map does

jolly hazel
#

I always keep a mental count of spawned "specials" and if there's only two types spawned so far i never accept bunkering

#

i.e grabber/menace

#

with third unseen

#

if its unseen for 50% of the mission its probably a detonator waiting to spawn

#

the uplink is in a really bad spot though, and so is the fuel pod if it spawns the same between players

#

we just made a platform ledge/floor so they arent crawling up right to meet us

midnight citrus
#

we dug a bunker beneath it instead

jolly hazel
#

I think thats what we did? I didn't see what the driller did with it but it was like 5 feet below the drop pod

#

the opening was towards the hell canyon tbough

midnight citrus
#

and I used my spinning plasma trail cutter to block the entrance basically

oblique osprey
#

Honestly, fuck this week's deep dive, HARD

midnight citrus
#

it's like an incendiary nade except it's electric

oblique osprey
#

Yeah I heard about the morkite, got that

#

Guess that ? Three bulk detonators on a fucking escort mission

#

Never saw that organically

midnight citrus
#

we only got 2

oblique osprey
#

Why does a bulk detonator exploding 30 meters away from the doretta instakill a part of its armor ?

#

Just -why-

jolly hazel
#

no

oblique osprey
#

Please take escort duty out of the deep dive rotation until it's fixed ffs

jolly hazel
#

its a lot of new faces

oblique osprey
#

It's the buggiest mission type in the game

jolly hazel
#

that aren't getting 150

oblique osprey
#

Bad secondary objective spawns, bad fuel spawns, overpowered bulks that can instakill the armor, etc

jolly hazel
oblique osprey
#

Also yeah, it takes fucking forever

oblique osprey
#

Literally not a single chunk got close to doretta

jolly hazel
oblique osprey
#

The -instant- it detonated Doretta took 100 % armor damage

jolly hazel
#

never seen it

oblique osprey
#

The devs still haven't fixed the fact that even scrap damage from a bulk 100 %'s the armor

#

Which is total bullshit and means I always avoid escort if I can

#

Because you can literally RNG fail the mission unless your Driller brought freezing and is on point

jolly hazel
#

but yeah I've gotten into those situations

#

where it spawns directly above drill and its going to lose an armor piece

oblique osprey
#

I've been playing this game for two years

#

I know how bulks work

#

It was in the last room, and spawned -during the rock objective-

#

I did my best to steer it away, and it spawned so far away no-one who was actually -on- Doretta guarding it got damaged

#

But for some reason Doretta taking literally even the slightest scrap of damage from a Bulk causes a 100 % armor kill

#

Scout

#

I had IFGs too

#

Trust me when I say I knew what I was doing

#

Sadly our gunner was shit tho

#

Last bulk we DESPERATELY tried to freeze it

#

But this dumbass kept shooting it

#

And popped it before we could refreeze it

dusty sigil
#

damn the EDD solo engi this week hits harder than usual

oblique osprey
#

Like I don't think there's any better way to say it

#

Escort Mission is bugged

#

This is literally a value issue and can be fixed rapidly

#

But the devs haven't touched it in a -year-

dusty sigil
#

running around stage 1 with 0 ammo 20 mins just to get blasted at stage 3

oblique osprey
#

Bro I was here when the bulk detonator spawn rate was fucked and you often had 2-3 bulks at start on egg mission

dusty sigil
#

might be

oblique osprey
#

And they instantly were active when spawning

#

I've seen WAY worse

#

But I find it infuriating they still haven't addressed bulks being a potential game over in escort

#

You literally only have two options

#

Freeze it, and I wasn't the Driller

#

Or lead it away, which I did to my best ability

#

But the boss room on DD Stage 2 isn't 300 m wide

#

First bulk was during a refuel

midnight citrus
#

our molly survived with 30% health on its last life kek

oblique osprey
#

2 and 3 was during boss fight

midnight citrus
#

not molly doretta

oblique osprey
#

And yeah, having a DD that's Escort Duty + 3 guaranteed bulks is insane

#

And not fun

#

Like I'm seen -fun- insane DDs

#

But "do this quickly or bring freeze or gg" is not fun

midnight citrus
oblique osprey
#

He had one

rigid venture
#

I don't mind the dets, they are rng and me and my usuals deal with them with ease, the whole morkite deal is reall awful

oblique osprey
#

But one of our team members was stupid and shot the bulk while we were finishing freezing it

#

Shut up

#

You're not funny

#

Bro

#

I play Haz 5

#

The problem isn't Haz 3.5

#

It's the mission setup

rigid venture
#

The other strat, the lead away is more reliable than freeze

oblique osprey
#

Like I managed to get the morkite

#

It was a pain in the ass

#

But the guaranteed 3 bulk is just... no

#

Not on Escort Duty

#

Not when it's been bugged since release and still not fixed

void vector
#

Had no issues with the bulks meself.

#

RNG is gonna RNG at times.

midnight citrus
#

I'm never gonna play edd solo

#

1 I die alot
2 I die alot

void vector
#

3 Profit?

oblique osprey
#

EDD solo is fine but sometimes you get broken missions in the pool

#

It is -rare- thankfully

#

But this is the first time in a while, and just -oof-

midnight citrus
#

this week is the first time I even tried haz5

#

no 😂

#

64

#

I think

brazen cape
midnight citrus
#

imagine building a bunker in edd and then realising it's lava and you used c4 to make hole

#

I don't intend on sweating

steady shadow
#

Are edd always this hard?

jolly hazel
#

no they are often harder

steady shadow
#

💀

jolly hazel
#

and yeah drg is at its best with all 4 slots imo

#

everyone covers each others problems

#

solo is just boring for me

steady shadow
#

That's what I've been doing it as 💀

jolly hazel
steady shadow
#

Oh

jolly hazel
#

it varies wildly week to week

steady shadow
#

I really want to finish it before the week is over

midnight citrus
#

which biome do y'all hate the most

jolly hazel
#

I think the hidden mini swarm spawn counter is also cranked up

jolly hazel
#

absolutely awful

steady shadow
#

I like that place

midnight citrus
#

I hate the lava and the wood biome
