[topaz mortar]

I'm using it right now though, and the issue that made me swap away from it in the first place seems to have solved itself so 🤷‍♂️

[swift pike]

haven't used it outside of drg myself, but from what i've heard from more knowledgeable people than myself it's mostly just a platform for mod distribution and the jank happens in the game

like hot swapping mods not actually hot swapping at all and everything enabling and disabling as it pleases

[topaz mortar]

everything enabling and disabling as it pleases really annoyed me

[topaz mortar]

I've used it a bit for Space Engineers and that too has had a bunch of mod.io issues
though most mods for it are either workshop only or both workshop and mod.io, so it's easy to avoid mod.io

[worthy abyss]

recently i got into ultrakill and really liked the graphics style. is there any mods that can downgrade the graphics similar to this game?

[hot wharf]

yes these problems are with DRG's modding subsystem (that handles actually "loading" mods) and not mod.io. the same problems would occur if the mods were loaded from any other platform (be it workshop or even local files). that said the mod.io plugin used to download mods has its own set of issues

and the mod.io API leaves a lot to be desired. the actual site is pleasant to use compared to other mod platforms though (cough nexus...)

[spark sentinel]

anybody know how large the rewards are for elite missions on MCR?

i don't want to try to kill 30 dreadnoughts without receiving scaled rewards

[split nest]

i love how the kobolds fit nicely with drg's theming
they work for their family, thier pack, but they also talk about wanting to earn the dwarves' respect

anyway while we're here is there a way to disable certain parts of a given mod? or make one mod override the other manuyally instead of the other auto overriding the one? i want my icon portraits back :(

[cosmic eagle]

hypotehtically is it possible to mod out one specific overclock

from your lobbies

unequipable

[valid vessel]

which OC

goo bomber special?

[onyx summit]

soup lads? Few questions that may or may not be answered elsewhere already.

1. I'm new to modding and am interested in making my first mod(s) for DRG. I'd be super grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of useful resources for DRG specific educational resources, or resources for modding in general you found helpful for newbies. If it helps, I do have a background in programming (JS, C#, Py, and a few libraries + frontend markup)

2. What essential tools should I make sure to have, other than a decent PC and Blender?

3. Is the Blender game modding toolkit on Humble bundle right now worth it?

inb4 read the sticky or some such lmao, thanks in advance

[charred scaffold]

one moment

https://drg-modding.github.io/tools/

This is a very basic repository of tools but might point you in the right direction, I sadly don't have access to the DRG modding discord but maybe someone here can help you out with an invite.

I myself am just starting to learn how to develop games, so sorry I couldn't be of any more help

[onyx summit]

it's a start! ty

[maiden abyss]

Link to modding discord #fan-communities message

[rain lotus]

I wish the game told me what mods are making my game crash so I can remove ONLY them

[dusty holly]

I don't think it's a thing for a lot of sideloaders in any game that allow modding. Trial and error is usually the only way to do that.

[sweet grotto]

most games have functional logging systems. DRG has the most useless logging that has ever existed.

[stiff gulch]

made the game play fortunate son during evacuation to the drop pod

feels like catching the last chopper out of 'nam

[rain lotus]

yesh I spent 30 mins and my game works again

[tardy laurel]

You know the perk mod I was working on? Probably not, but it's out now on Mod.io! Have fun :) https://mod.io/g/drg/m/power-perks

(Yes I do make custom overclocks and will go back to making them soon)

[zinc idol]

I love having the profanity booster mod and logging into DRG just to hear my dwarf yell "F U C K"

[chilly rose]

guys do i need to download mods in-game?

[verbal hull]

You have two options- either use in-game modding menu or use mod integrator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpM4qJY5vuA

[chilly rose]

Alright, also does it ruin my save file or something?

because in some games mods killed my save files

[verbal hull]

No, it doesn't. If you only browse "verified mods" ther should be no problem with the game or anything extra for you to do.

[chilly rose]

Is there any good mod can you reccomend for boosting fps or for fun?

[verbal hull]

Here's a list of straight performance mods.

[chilly rose]

Aight

Thanks for the help

[boreal monolith]

Does anyone know how to disable the ping sound?

because I keep getting anxiety attacks from people spamming ping

[spare glen]

do mods tend to crash more w/ dx12 versions?

I'm trying to play with my friend and it keeps crashing ~10 mins into a mission

[eager yew]

Hi guys, do you know a mod to try builds fast ? Switch class/weapong/builds, see damage

[worthy abyss]

try sandbox utilities. it has an ability to switch classes and modify builds instantly

[worthy abyss]

try vine boom laser pointer sound

[eager yew]

It's not updated, people in comment are saying it's not working anymore
Is it true ?

[worthy abyss]

i used it yesterday. had no problems

[snow remnant]

does the born ready pop up still work for you guys?

[worthy abyss]

yes

[strange kayak]

Does anybody know what this door is? Nobody else in my lobby can see it so I'm assuming it has something to do with one of the verified mods I have enabled.

[civic spear]

hey so I got a friend that is trying to access the modding tab but the terms of service is stuck in an infinite loading screen, anyone know a fix for windows 10?

[green quest]

Is there a mod that increases the sound of the garand ping

I need that juicy pling

[quaint harbor]

is there any mods that skips the performance screen on mission end?

[fading stirrup]

anyone can find on mod io better visbility steeve mod?

[tardy laurel]

its from Massive Content Revise

[shy olive]

Hello miners, are there any cool moders that can make a lever shotgun reskin? I think it would be a great addition to the game. Just a cool idea i had

[shell inlet]

It is not. Probably something from a Tweek mod.

[strange kayak]

I can enter it in a solo lobby. Idk how they linked the two but since it's called the "backer room" I wonder if I have it for backing the DRG board game and expansion on Kickstarter

It's the SGG Framework Files mod that adds this room

[snow remnant]

does this mod still work for you guys? https://mod.io/g/drg/m/better-contrasting-twins-recolored-arbalest

[quasi bolt]

i saw somewhere a cirno fumo outside of the space rig, next to the planet. Is it a mod or just editing?

[regal breach]

The live mission tracker and the health and shield mods haven't been updated for season 5. Any idea if they're going to be?

[harsh pagoda]

idk but i using them no problem

[regal breach]

Since they aren't updated have to manually load them and restart the lobby each time

[timid loom]

do people make mod requests here cause I think I got like a small one

[lament charm]

there is a custom difficulty v2 now for those that don't know its on beta v4

[coral obsidian]

I have a question about the meteor disabling mod from rock pox. Is that host only? Or can a player join and their mod disables that?

[swift pike]

host only

that's always the case for stuff that affects mission generation since the host is what determines that

meteors are tied to the mission seed, just not present initially

[cosmic eagle]

https://github.com/trumank/mint/releases/download/v0.2.10/drg_mod_integration-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz @regal breach

wait did i pin the wrong person

i might h e pinged the wrong person

oopsies

@candid idol

sorry elessar that was a accident

[candid idol]

Thanks for the ping. I'm assume I'd have to copy this and everything over for a new machine then? I just pulled from mod.io and it got everything

[cosmic eagle]

there's a mod that lets you copy all your mod io mods into your clipboard and then you can just paste into mint and in like 3 minutes everything should be done

mint works through mod io mod urls

mint will auto uninstall all your modio mods

[candid idol]

Downloaded it and tried running it. I never see a window and it just dies eventualy with the stop respond error from the OS

[cosmic eagle]

weird

maybe someone else who uses mint with linux can help you

heh heh linux mint with mint on drg

[candid idol]

Got it working. It fails to run underwayland and you need to run it as env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY ./drg_mod_integration to get it working

Are there any mods people recommend to reduce particles or effects to improve FPS?

[candid idol]

Wher does mint install them ods and where are the settings for them?

[near depot]

Anyone know of mods for custom nitra resupply costs/ammo increasing?

We use the swarm control mod to pretty much double spawns, but even with 40 nitra resupplies its not enough to keep up, we just lose once we run out of ammo and cant find enough nitra to sustain

[cobalt lintel]

Is there a way to share my mod list?

[swift pike]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/a-better-modding-menu

[lament charm]

is there a mod that reduces lithophage Infection buildup by 50%

[cobalt lintel]

How do I make a sound mod?

[tender coral]

the drg modding server has some resources, you can check there

theres an invite in #fan-communities

[near nova]

anyone know what mod causes this bg issue?

[uneven cape]

it might be a base game thing, happens to everyone

[sweet grotto]

the forge / end screen / character selections are all in the same world. there is just an enum to set which area the camera is meant to show. sometimes the game forgets to do that. it's not mod related.

[snow moat]

How does one mod on xbox or is that a pc only thing

[verbal hull]

you don't, it's PC thing only

[snow moat]

Oh is there such thing as a protogen mod?

[dawn sigil]

does anyone know a mod that allows you to see the equipment of teammates?

[obtuse glacier]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/build-inspector#2101319

basic mod

[dawn sigil]

thx

[quaint harbor]

is there a mod on drg that allows me to dynamically change my FOV based on what i set it to?

basically like zooming into something

[eternal current]

Guessing this would be the best place to ask this. Looking to see how deep rock does to see how I want to handle it for a game I’m working on. DRG is peer to peer only so obviously the client with authority to push changes to stats and unlocks can cheat stuff into a players account. What I’m curious about is how does DRG handle DLC, does the hosting client check the joining clients DLC via steam, or does it just let them pick anything?

[lament charm]

from what i've seen a save file someone gets and uses sometimes has dlc cosmetics

[eternal current]

So it’s likely just assuming the client is always clean, and the client checks for dlc on launch and updates the cosmetics if there is anything missing. I’m using DRG as a gold standard for monetization as it feels fair and consumer oriented.

[round path]

any update on steeve better visibility?

[eternal current]

If that’s the case there’s only one thing I’m going to verify only on the server end, even though a server could be modded to not verify.

[uneven cape]

[worldly lion]

How do I transfer a save to another steam profile?
I already:

1. Turned off steam cloud
2. overwrote the new guy's sav file
3. deleted remotecache.vdf
   Very frustrating

[snow moat]

Hell yes that's awesome

[cosmic eagle]

shout framework and dmg numbers can crash new saves on startup or upon attacking a enemy

[floral nova]

anybody here crashing when someone has mortar rounds OC? i'm wondering which mod is the issue...

[floral nova]

same with the new flamethrower oc

[swift pike]

likely any crosshair changing mods you've got

[green quest]

Is there a mod that adds more dreadnoughts

[lethal solstice]

need help

[heady sleet]

Try restarting the game and booting it up in a different way

[lethal solstice]

how do i install them?

cause i subbed to some

[dusty holly]

are you launching in Safe mode ?

[lethal solstice]

?

[dusty holly]

when you launch DRG, you got 4 options to choose from
do you choose "safe mode" ?

[lethal solstice]

i think it was normal drg (i chose to not ask)

yeah normal

[dusty holly]

are you currently online on Steam ?

[lethal solstice]

cant tell

it shows me as on i think

[dusty holly]

Alright
first off, I'd suggest waiting a few hours. Tuesday nights are the time of Steam servers maintenance so it might cause issues with reaching mod.io

[lethal solstice]

well i restarted and and the install mods button is shaded

wait i looked at it again and its working

[lethal solstice]

i can join non modded with verified right?

[heady sleet]

Yes

[grave garden]

one question

if I run approved mods via Mint do I still show as modded on the server list?

since I don't see myself with (modded) status

[lethal solstice]

what mod shows these stats at the bottom?

[weak goblet]

you will

[quaint delta]

@gilded bridge on that note, I'm there with you mostly. Some small stuff like boolo blast revives, Cosmetic restriction removal, and combined resources are all I mess with usually

[gilded bridge]

I just cannot be arsed is honestly my main answer :p

[quaint delta]

Fair enough. Vanilla is already a gem as is, I don't see how others can totally revamp it, but to each their own and all that

[weak goblet]

There's a recent mod that shows current bug HP in numbers, it's pretty neat

[gilded bridge]

The most I’ve done is funny audio mods

Those are always a gem

[quaint delta]

I tried running damage numbers for a while, it was just too much for my old eyes to concentrate on

What's the new one?

[junior rose]

imo best QOL mods are

-Ammo percentage
-Clearer Laser Pointer
-PingToText (for host lobbies)
-Message of the Day (for host lobbies)
-Customizable Ally Outlines
-Weapon Heat Crosshair
-Better C4 Indicator
-Born Ready Popup

pretty minimalistic for the most part

[quaint delta]

I've been meaning to try better C4. That's the one where it's green when clear of teammates and red when "unsafe" right?

[junior rose]

mhm!

[quaint delta]

Although, I don't use C4 super often besides some Salvage terraforming and Caretaker

[junior rose]

i recommend trying out stun c4 on deep scan ‼️

u can freeze basically everything its super funny lol

also forgot to mention azuki promotion borders is a really cute one

[quaint delta]

I might make exceptions for anything cat related

[junior rose]

🙏 join the maxwell lootbug cult

pls skoozle

[quaint delta]

I'm tempted

I do like Maxwell

[junior rose]

YES

[quaint delta]

Does it change the lootbug sounds or is it just model?

[junior rose]

model

[weak goblet]

a new one that's out is a mod for salvage, better visibility uplink/fuel cell bubble

[junior rose]

just a low quality png of maxwell, and golden lootbugs are a another low quality png, different breed of a cat

[junior rose]

oo will look into

[weak goblet]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/better-visibility-uplink-fuel-cell-bubble

100% it's very pog

I was meaning to make a video on how immersive DRG can be but recoding problems happened

[quaint delta]

Now we don't have to be the fish from SpongeBob anymore

[junior rose]

chancellors also has some great QOL mods

different colored pipelines one is my fav personally

[junior rose]

😭

[weak goblet]

@sour forge https://mod.io/g/drg/m/sandbox-utilities When you install it though mod.io it will force you to make a sandbox save

[sour forge]

aight, i'll watch a guide on how to install mods cause ive never bothered, the closest to this is downloading addons on wow for me, i suppose they work in a similar way

[weak goblet]

yeah it's super simple with mod.io good luck

[coral obsidian]

Hey so dumb question. Is there a map hack or some sort of event knowledge hack?? i have had someone join my games and say "wow no events/spawns" and then leave

basically this person knew the cave already had no korlock/crassus/cargo/helmet/machine events etc

it was a little sad when they were right

[rich remnant]

Did they take Deep rock off of R2ModMan?

I was using it for ultrakill and lethal company mods and istg it used to be on there

[limber scaffold]

damn this is a LOT

can someone pls explain what all the column sections mean

it's not said in the documentation

i prob understood min and max, but not the rest

[blissful rampart]

do you actually need visual studio to do blueprint modding, or is the guide we're reading incorrect or outdated?

cuz it's literally not even mentioned in the guide except to say that it's required, which is confusing

is it just for the dummy method?

we just wanna know before we really get into this whether we're gonna have to actually deal with Visual Studio >>;

[obsidian umbra]

is there a guide out there to get into modded difficulties? thought i saw one but i cant find it anymore

[neon cairn]

https://mod.io/g/drg/r/drg-basic-modding-guide

[neon cairn]

I haven't done a lot of BP mods, but I haven't been in need of VS yet.

All I dummied in unreal so far was quite enough without VS.

[thick cairn]

is there a mod that changes the glyphids's colors?

like

rainbow

[obsidian umbra]

sorry, I meant like

how to survive in 6x2

like play style and basic info and shit

[neon cairn]

my bad
then I recall there is this guide albeit old: https://www.reddit.com/r/technicaldrg/comments/v6l5hf/an_intro_to_modded_difficulties/
plus this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/technicaldrg/comments/w4432l/a_simple_hazard_6x2_true_solo_guide/
and maybe this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/technicaldrg/comments/xu26yh/advanced_positioning_guide_part_1_introduction/
there is also a pinned link to the modded diffs community on that subreddit, you can ask there

[obsidian umbra]

appreciate it mate

will look into these

[hollow marsh]

getting a lot of crashes lately, all thew mods I use are updated

Fatal error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 1241] FMallocBinned2 Attempt to realloc an unrecognized block 000000724F570000 canary == 0x0 != 0xe3

is what I think crashed the game?

[wintry fractal]

Several people Ive been chatting with are getting odd crashes too

[quasi raft]

I'm getting a very similar issue:

Can you post your mod list? Maybe we have something in common

[quasi raft]

Any suspects yet?

[green quest]

Is there a mod that increases loadout slots?

wait people actually modeled them?

nice

[weak goblet]

it just takes your primary/secondary skin color and puts it on your traversal or support tool

[heady sleet]

hi

what mod do I use to modify fog and lighting

or post processing

[shell inlet]

advanced darkness

[heady sleet]

I want to make my drg into an actual horror game with black and white colors, lots of fog, darkness, and flickering headlights

and force my friends to do the same >:3

[quaint harbor]

for modding, do you guys prefer mod.io or mint?

and im wondering, if you use mint what's the difference of using it over mod.io?

[quasi raft]

100% MINT, there's just no comparison. It's like asking whether you prefer to drive or walk somewhere

[quaint harbor]

i have mint right now after hearing that you can just yoink the arbitrary 50 max mods that you can enable from the modlist on drg

[quasi raft]

AFAIK the native support for mod.io is no longer being invested in, so yeah, kinda up to the community now

it's just the obvious choice given the game's limitations

[quaint harbor]

i mean, both mod loaders does have pros and cons

[dusty holly]

@quasi raft https://mod.io/g/drg/m/pgl-rebalanced that"s the one, right ?

[quasi raft]

mhm 👅

FIre is good, yes, but still suffers from the TTK issue

[dusty holly]

I know it's your mod you know, you don't have to be weird about it

[quasi raft]

Whaaa, was it really so obvious? 🤯

[dusty holly]

so compact round lose the grunt breakpoint ?

[quasi raft]

With max ammo, yeah

and RJ250 needs fire to kill Slashers in 1 shot

[dusty holly]

is heat mod still existing ?

[quasi raft]

It does, but I see TTK as the balancing factor there, along with greater damage lost against larger enemies vs plain explosive damage

if you can't hit the ignition breakpoint for whatever you're shooting at, then heat is a straight downgrade

[dusty holly]

does TTK really matters for grunts ?

[quasi raft]

(just got the idea for a smaller enemy like grunts but named runts)\

It can be a nuisance if they hit you before dying

mostly inferior to simply killing them outright like BC can

or non-fire

it kinda forces you to take stun so they are immobilized long enough to die from the burn before returning to engage

[dusty holly]

Personally, just like total damage doesn't say much, TTK/DPS doesn't say much to me either.
They're fine for paper theory, but in practice, you're probably gonna be kiting a lot, especially if shit hits the fan. In those cases, TTK doesn't matter when it comes to grunts, especially for something like the PGL, which you can just shoot in the middle of the swarm quickly and keep running around while everything dies to fire.

If anything, it's kind of an indirect upside because it doesn't trick you in instantly firing a second shot and make you focus on more dangerous targets instead

[quasi raft]

I think that, without radical changes to the damage profile, PGL is going to be the most CC oriented of Engineer's secondaries. As such, I think it needs much more ammunition, which helps performance against relentless swarms but doesn't alter the types of enemies it can effectively punch

TTK can matter for pulling off a quick revive or saving a teammate

[dusty holly]

I think the heat mod shoudl be removed tbh. Base damage buffed to 120, reduced fall off. 13 base ammo.

and then lot of changes on the mods themselves

[quasi raft]

Oh yeah, I kinda agree, the damage falloff is one thing I couldn't figure out how to change.

[dusty holly]

or make the heat mod a clean OC

[quasi raft]

50% at the edge of radius is just too little

[dusty holly]

I could get behind that

[quasi raft]

if ammo is 13 base, what would the ammo mods give?

I was balancing it around the Breach Cutter getting 15 shots totally stock

15 stock, 24 max, also getting option for plasma trail/explosive goodbye

it's just a lot of damage, with a 3-6 shot magazine, all for sacrificing some range and height

[unique quiver]

I mean the heat mod is only a must have cause it solves the PGL’s biggest issue, small grunt kill radius.

Making it have a bigger grunt kill radius at base, through buffing damage and/or falloff would likely make the heat mod a lot less oppressive.

[quasi raft]

I think PGL needs a lot to be seriously competitive with that

Yeah, if I could, I'd make the max damage falloff no more than 25% off of base

[dusty holly]

I don't think keeping it around is a great idea nevertheless. It encourages dropping every damage mod and just always focus on ammo, it's just not healthy for the build variety

[quasi raft]

even against humans, a regular ol' hand grenade has a kill radius of like 3-5 meters

[quasi raft]

I think I agree with that

making it an OC would potentially help

maybe they could add frost grenades too

[dusty holly]

Granted the damage mods would need a lot more damage to be worth taking too, but that's part of the whole

[quasi raft]

Yeahhhh

It's a complicated issue, wonder how/if it'll ever be addressed

I'm convinced PGL pick rate is only as high as it is because of it being the default Engineer secondary

[dusty holly]

more ammo, doubt people would mind that.
+3 or 4 ammo for each sounds pretty good to me.

[dusty holly]

this definitely skews the numbers, yes

[quasi raft]

+4 each would mean 21 max ammo with a base of 13

that's still less than BC, while dealing less damage

what else could make it better?

[dusty holly]

To be fair, I also think the BC has too much base damage and you don't really make a choice between swarm clear/tank killer

[unique quiver]

Fair. I like it cause wide range heat application feels good to use, but I definitely agree with it current stats it’s too oppressive and discourages build variety

[quasi raft]

BC gets a much stronger stun/AB mod

actually IDK how AB on PGL works post-buff with AoE explosions

but BC is very good at AB

[dusty holly]

I think the ease of use + it being a spherical AoE are upsides that can compensate for the comparison

But also, as I said, I'd nerf BC base damage slightly too

Move part of it's damage to the damage mod

[quasi raft]

That would still make BC the preferred choice for higher skill gameplay though

[dusty holly]

(would probably need to touch up on the OC's ammo balance though)

[unique quiver]

100% agree with a BC nerf. Preferably move part of base to both the damage mod and clean OC

[quasi raft]

PGL needs something to turn the heads of Hazard 5 greybeards

[dusty holly]

pretty much my idea

I can't be bothered to learn modding even to test out my ideas
I should one day though

[quasi raft]

BC was way worse at release tho

[unique quiver]

Currently AOE can only break 4 plates total, and has very high falloff for all but the closest plate.

Which makes it garbage for armor stripping, especially compared to BC

[quasi raft]

and then SD would still be rly good

that's why I went with the approach of trying to buff PGL into alignment with the other 2 secondaries

[stray chasm]

i'd be wary of nerfing BC because engi's class tools are quite weak compared to drills/shields/grapple and the main thing engi has right now to compensate for that is having strong generalist firepower

[unique quiver]

Also true.

Tbh I think engineer needs a bit of a total rebalance, cause it has way to high of a power ceiling, and way to low of a power floor.

It’s very easy to make a downright horrible engineer load out. When on other classes it’s actually quite hard.

[stray chasm]

yeah on other classes its like "equip this singular really really bad overclock and completely ruin your build with these very specific choices"

and engineer is ilke

[unique quiver]

Rounding back the the mod in question, I think less focus on ammo, and more focus on target flexibility would make it feel better to use.

[stray chasm]

"use dicerolls to decide your pgl build and 70% of them are genuinely terrible"

and yeah just giving pgl tons of ammo doesn't fix the issue

one of the really big issues pgl has is that it just doesn't effectively kill guards

[unique quiver]

Fat boy is PGLs best feeling Oc cause you can shoot it at anything and have an affect

[stray chasm]

outside of fat boy/hyperprop, even if you build pgl for damage, it struggles to kill guards, with the exception of having them burn to death

which takes quite long & also achieves absolutely nothing of value if driller already set them onf ire

[unique quiver]

Making base PGL do something (not even do it well) on more then 2 targets would fix most builds on a fun level

Then stat tweaks for balancing.

[dusty holly]

BC used to shreds evereything at release, it only got worse when they buffed enemies

mainly praetorians who got double health

[dusty holly]

the only "nerf" for BC for me would be to move part of the damage to the damage mod, so there's at least an actual choice between beam size and damage

better crowd clear or better damage

wouldn't trash the damage though, I'm not advocating for 300 base damage or something like that

[quasi raft]

perhaps

I think preserving its identity as an intermediate choice is key

PGL for CC, BC for intermediate, and SD for ST

[worn crest]

I have a weird question.... is it even possible to mod the game to have a cel shaded look?

Turns out it is.... https://mod.io/g/drg/m/custom-shader

Can someone help me? I'm trying to make my first hex mod and I can't open this .uasset file, does anyone know how to solve this?

[shadow prairie]

I figured it out

[covert spruce]

for some reason every time i open drg the game crashes and then i have to redownload all my mods

[cosmic eagle]

some mods are completely unstable rn

[covert spruce]

this only happened after the summer event

[cosmic eagle]

if you don't use mint then you will have to redownload all the time

[covert spruce]

what is mint

[cosmic eagle]

i think shout framework is unstable

[cosmic eagle]

mod integration

[covert spruce]

bruh just say that

[cosmic eagle]

a separate way of modding drg without modio's bugs

[covert spruce]

so is it third party?

or is it part of mod io

[cosmic eagle]

third party

waste has a video on it

[covert spruce]

oh its actually called mint my b

[cosmic eagle]

mint is its shortened name

[covert spruce]

yeah im just tired of everyone saying ASS and expecting you know what that means

[covert spruce]

i just got mint and now in game its saying modding has been disabled by a launch option

[swift pike]

that's what it does

[rose yarrow]

can someone help me out with my mods?

it just told me a ton of them don't work anymore

new unnoticed update maybe messed it up?

[cosmic eagle]

you mod through mint so mod.io int is disabled to stop any bugs, dupe mods and uncompatibilities

[covert spruce]

Got it working now

did you read the lobby names?

[gloomy peak]

Does switching from mod.io to external modding launcher increase performance?

[bronze wave]

oh yeah switching from modio to mint def increases it

How difficult is it to make a mod for a simple asset swap? I just wanna replace the xbox controller icons with playstation ones

There are other variants if you just search for "controller".

Alright, I'm gonna throw this mod idea out there for somebody to pick up if they please

model replacement that turns the Plasma Charger into a mega buster

ohhh weird i searched for that already but didnt get any results cause i had it filtered by 'verified'

damn, it needs a whole separate mod config install

[lost heath]

i'm trying to build Mint for linux but hitting issues

has anyone here built it on their machines from source and can you offer tips?

or do you just use the old 2023 binaries from github

i just went to the modding sever to ask, let's see if they have help

[mighty wraith]

oh boy

that sounds like a painful google for sure

given linux mint the distro exists

[candid breach]

quick question regarding modding is some mods cilent side? and can i play with them in pubs

for example if i want to have quirky sound mods can i still go about and join other people vanila servers etc?

[candid breach]

i run linux mint myself never built it from source xD

[dusty holly]

check the pinned messages for details

[rose hollow]

please help

mod.io was working just fine for my friend a while back, and has some mods installed, but now its forcing him to verify his email, but it wont let him because he has to merge, but he cant merge because he has mods (i think thats why at least)

he cant unsubscribe because he needs to verify

the hell do we do??

i've checked the pinned messages of the channel but dont really see anything that applies to our situation

[gaunt relic]

hi all, quick query, saw a couple of mods on mods io and wondered a couple of things (mods in question are combined resources and weapon heat crosshair)

1 - are these ok to use as they show as verified with friends in any online game? like I won't get a ban for them?
2 - do friends have to have the first mentioned one to have it work correctly?

[dusty holly]

1. why would you get a ban from using the integrated mod support ? Also, all the details you need are in the first pinned messages in here
2. same as above : pinned messages

[dusty holly]

where is this merging thing coming from ?

[gaunt relic]

you never know with steam haha, I'll grab them though in that case if it is fine to use

[dusty holly]

I still recommand you read the pins though

[rose hollow]

pardon? assuming im understanding this right, its coming from mod.io after going through verification (giving email, putting in the code), and a prompt pops up to merge which is the only option

i THINK im working on a fix rn tho??? i'll get back to you if it doesn't work tho

[dusty holly]

the only thing I've personally ever needed to do was just connect, never had a whole merging thing.

[rose hollow]

hrm

weird

[dusty holly]

So no idea where that would be coming from

[rose hollow]

shit

better hope my fix works then lmao

[dusty holly]

I assume it's coming from them using an old account and mod.io going through some transformation back in the day ?

only thing I can think of that would need merging

[rose hollow]

his account isn't that old, no

[dusty holly]

are your friend using family sharing ?

[rose hollow]

nope

tysm for the help tho!

i'll get back to you if things go haywire again lol

[dusty holly]

good luck

[timid loom]

any chance someone could reskin the space biker bandana to be red and add headphones? so my dwarf could finally look like Mr Torgue

Is there any way to give myself scrip?

I tried looking into sandbox utilities but it doesnt have any scrip option

[lusty temple]

[gloomy peak]

and how big is the "difficulty increase" when switching to mint?

how harder is it to operate

[pulsar lichen]

Is there any mod that has a tracker or marker or something visually to notify you if engineer's s.s.g. is still active?

[bronze wave]

all you do is add mods, install, when there's a new update you update cache and install

not big of an increase

[gloomy peak]

hmm maybe ill look into it

[bronze wave]

the only thing that might be confusing is the api thing but you just needa do like 1 thing and that's it

[cold plaza]

Is there a mod for platform preview that's updated with the latest update?

[austere kiln]

found a lobby that had the removed pickaxe power attack voiceline enabled

was wondering if I could find the mod that does that

[violet rapids]

Odd mod-related issue, my game keeps crashing when I have any mod enabled. Doesn't matter the mod or how recently it was updated, my game crashes at random once I kill some glyphids. Modless the game runs fine, but even just enabling Damage Numbers (updated for season 5) makes the game crash once I'm in a cave.

[bronze wave]

wdym?

[bronze wave]

did you try the mods without damage numbers?

[wise grail]

I wish there was a way to automatically re-endable outdated mods that work fine. I have a Doom music mod that is outdated but works fine, every time I close the game and re-open it I have to re-enable it as it disables itself

[bronze wave]

did you turn off the setting that auto disables outdated mods

[violet rapids]

I had it disabled with other mods enabled while testing to see which mod(s) were crashing my game, and it still broke. With zero mods enabled at all, my game works fine. I'll try again with enabling one random other mod since I just got up.

[bronze wave]

Oh huh

[violet rapids]

Maybe that was a coincidence, I've been doing tests with random mods in my list. Enabled all mods that said they were outdated, no crash
Just damage numbers, crash
My regular mod setup but without damage numbers, no crash so far

it was weird since it would most commonly happen when I was in the face of some bugs while using sludge pump and NTCT subata, but a few times it happened without that. Idk.
The error that popped up sometimes was a Line 1241 error that I read was about outdate mods but it kept happening with random mods too.

[dusty ember]

wish I could load into a random lvl with sandbox mod

[neat nest]

what are approved mods, and what are verified mods? what's the difference?

[dusty holly]

check the pinned messages

[neat nest]

i see, thanks

[potent flume]

Btw is there a mod that makes the leadstorm minigun to sound like the a10 warhog

[dusty holly]

you mean just going into mission with the mods on ?

[dusty ember]

Yep though never used it myself

[dusty ember]

Wanting to make some clips. Sandbox utility is good but the swarms that spawn during missions is disruptive.

[dusty holly]

you should be able to customize swarms with some other mods, to make them pretty much non-existent

swarm control or something ? don't recall the exact name but I don't think you'll have issues finding it.

[dusty ember]

I'll check it out

[potent flume]

What it’s name

[fallow steppe]

hi guys

im having problem with the mod more players balanced

says theres no slot in the team

can someone help

[subtle grove]

hey everyone!
i'm about to get some QoL mods, how should i go about getting mods?
i was ghoing to get them directly from the game modding tab

not sure if i should download mod hub or miracle manager, foe example

[dusty holly]

if they aren't necessary, you don't need to download them

get them if one mod you download need them due to dependency (it's usually made clear in the description of the mods)

[subtle grove]

okay, thanks!

[bronze wave]

only mods that have settings usually have modhub as a dependency

it'll auto install anyway if it is a dependency

[fallow steppe]

damn

thanks a lot too

[hallow canyon]

hey guys. New to modding here. Is there anyway to circumvent the limit for mods since im only using verified clientside funny haha mods but 50 for me is currently not enought for what i want. Just wondering if there is some kind of workaround or not. Thank you all in advance

[bronze wave]

use mint

[woven totem]

I have a question related to the mod integration system. I use the mod integration system and I've been trying to get the 'More Players' mod to work. However I cannot adjust the max amount of players in my lobby, because the mod option ingame is locked for me due to a launch option. Is there any way to fix this?

[tiny forge]

Wrath of hoxxes is what I use to spice up my gameplay

[heady sleet]

hey i'm subbed to a few mods but they won't install and the mod folder is empty, any reason why?

can't manually install them either so idk what's going on

[heady sleet]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/mcr-better-flares
Hi, is there a verified version of this mod?

[bronze wave]

is it not in modhub? that's supposed to be where it is

[bronze wave]

could be modio issue idrk

[bronze wave]

nope

[toxic lake]

Is there way to Edit someones mod? For example i would like to increase the value from 2,5x to 5x if soo how? Ty! 🙂

[obsidian ocean]

So many good mods, and I'm limited to 50 for online. Why must you do this to me DRG?!

Does anyone here know how to combine mods?

[bronze wave]

use mint

[obsidian ocean]

mint?

[bronze wave]

mod integration, seperate from the default one

ok maybe don't get it for rn there's an issue

[graceful flax]

mod.io issue, resolved itself

[bronze wave]

yea there was an api issue for a bit

[scarlet obsidian]

Hello there, I have noticed that my perms on modio have been altered without any given reason. I have been unable to comment on any mods, including my own, have been unable to vote on any comments and today found out that I can't upload new mods. Could this please be rectified? I'd like to at least upload my mods again.

[cosmic eagle]

Do all high difficulty modded players make their game look like drg legacy with no particles

[gaunt atlas]

how do the minigame cassettes from miracle work?

im really confused

[swift pike]

throw them at the terminal in your cabin to play the games

[gaunt atlas]

..where are they

unironically

where

[swift pike]

around the rig

you might have to do contracts to unlock some (which i've heard are bugged atm) but i know there's meant to be one game near the equipment terminal and one near the forge

[coral sand]

how do i stop drg from installing mods from mod.io? i am already using mint

[zinc shoal]

just me being unlucky with when i get on or are there less 16 player lobbies lately?

[gusty glade]

Mods should work the same no matter what season you have loaded right?

I’m almost done with season 5 so I’ll go back to old seasons soon to unlock everything, since I only started playing on steam in s4 and before that I was on Xbox

[heady sleet]

I was just posting in main that haz 6 * 2 is so hard, died like 10 times farming out the same mission, finished on one that had a betc spawn also

Got my message deleted by mods so posting here

[gusty glade]

Yeah mods get super pissed if you say anything or post anything even remotely related to modding in other channels

I posted a picture in #drg-gallery and the only visible mod was 6 flares instead of 4, I got warned and it was deleted

[heady sleet]

Thats crazy, I just wanted to say it was a lot harder than normal haz5a

I can get if someone was trying to make an extensive breakdown of modded breakpoints or a detailed description of gameplay but just mentioning haz 2*6 exists once is so out of pocket

Will remember well certainly tho not to try again lol

[gusty glade]

yeah they're too strict with some stuff

but oh well nothing we can do about it

[barren belfry]

hey guys, is there a mod that removes web from your screen? like after webspitter shots it at you

[autumn cedar]

Yeah but its not verified

Also how are people running sandbox mods in normal servers.

Like the events mods

[maiden abyss]

Mint

[slender wave]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/no-web-no-problem

[barren belfry]

thank u

[raw hollow]

can someone please tell what's the name for mod that shows engineer hammer marker above turrets?

[slender wave]

maybe this：https://mod.io/g/drg/m/aichis-indicator-ui-pt1-class-tools

[raw hollow]

not this, i want the hammer marker that shows above turrets when they can be build, like above feul cell, uplink, broken mini mule etc, this marker does not show above your turrets when you play as engie for some reason

[cosmic eagle]

mint autodisables modio mods when you use it so idk. you could try unminting drg, unsubbing from all your current mods, letting modio scrub itself and then reminting drg

also is there a third way of modding drg? how are people making modded lobbies and not getting [Modded] in their lobby name? thought mint forces this on everyone using it?

[uneven cape]

i think there are some ways to directly load pak files yea

without a program at all

[kind stratus]

"sentry build icon fix"

which the mod is hidden rn

I do have it used via mint

[humble fern]

@sharp citrus You can mod btw without "tainting" your save. Verified and approved mods can be used with your regular save. Only sandbox ones are different, in which case a separate save gets made

[kind stratus]

Mint is an open source development

[humble fern]

So feel completely free to transfer your xbox save and start modding willy nilly

[sharp citrus]

yeah that makes sense

[sharp citrus]

wait what thats cool actually

[kind stratus]

so they can strip the [modded] part off if they know how to code

which I don't recommend

[humble fern]

There isn't an official easy way to do it but it can be done with a little work #xbox-and-windows-store message

[sharp citrus]

it says mod.io cant be reached

dont think my pc is connected

[humble fern]

That's why I said to use mint

mod io is stinky

[sharp citrus]

yeah noticed

[humble fern]

You can download and find a guide here if you're interested https://github.com/trumank/mint

mod.io works for the most part but it's very finniky

And sometimes just decides to re-download and re-install your 30 mods for no reason

[kind stratus]

50 mod limit is too small anyway

I use like 170

over 80% is verified

[humble fern]

Lol I just use a few quality of life things myself

[kind stratus]

I need 100 sound mods for my adhd brain(real)

[humble fern]

Entire list

Just the essentials with a little fun thrown in

[sharp citrus]

pettable dwarfs 💀

whats massive content revise do

i downloaded the google translate mods

[humble fern]

Essential, as I said :3

[humble fern]

It adds in a whole new mission type, adds in new enemies, new mutators, and lets you generate crazy missions like "collect 40 eggs"

[sharp citrus]

damn

[humble fern]

tbh I ain't a fan

A lot of it is just half baked ideas that work better in theory than practice

But if you want some chaos to break up the norm, it can be fun

[sharp citrus]

whys modhub turning my mods off randomly im installing this mod manager

[humble fern]

What do you mean?

[sharp citrus]

so its not installing mods so i restart my game right

after some of my mods arent even on

[humble fern]

Modhub is just a place for changing the settings for installed mods in game so it shouldn't be interfering

Did you make sure to click install mods in mint?

[sharp citrus]

i didnt install mint yet i thought id give modhub a go

but im gonna just download mint

[humble fern]

What

You mean mod io

Mod hub is a mod

[sharp citrus]

ohh

yea

mod io

yea i like modhub

how do i install mint is it the zip file thing

[humble fern]

Follow the guide on the page, it's pretty straightforward

[sharp citrus]

alr

im trying to follow it but my dumbass is too stupid to

might as well have someone root hack my pc 💀

and have em do it for me

might try another day when i can use my second monitor lol

[humble fern]

Did you start by downloading this? https://github.com/trumank/drg-mod-integration/releases/download/v0.2.10/drg_mod_integration-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip

Mint itself

[sharp citrus]

yes

i downloaded it im trying to integrate the mods and shit

[humble fern]

And how far did you get?

[sharp citrus]

i got to the actual menu

like the menu of the manager app

trying to add the auth token

[humble fern]

Right so go to mod io and sign in with your steam account

Then once you have, go to https://mod.io/me/access

Then under Oauth access, make a token

Call it whatever you like and set it to read, then click the +

It'll generate a big string of letters and numbers. Copy and paste that into mint by clicking here

To get to settings, click this here

If that ain't enough for you chief then I dunno what else I can do

[cosmic eagle]

oh right

i completely forgot

[humble fern]

Everything on gitbub is open source, that's kinda the point lol

[cosmic eagle]

everything visible

[humble fern]

Oh yeah any public project, that is

[graceful flax]

Hello there, I have noticed that my perms on modio have been altered without any given reason. I have been unable to comment on any mods, including my own, have been unable to vote on any comments and today found out that I can't upload new mods. Could this please be rectified? I'd like to at least upload my mods again.
Same situation for me (https://mod.io/u/memtransmute/). Would be cool if anyone can take a look.

[sharp citrus]

then after i configure i install mods?

[humble fern]

Once you're set up you just go to a mod's page on mod.io, copy the URL, and paste it in the box at the top. Then you click install, and that's it

[sharp citrus]

oooh

nice

[humble fern]

That's how you'll be installing mods

[sharp citrus]

thanks

[humble fern]

If the mod downloads when you punch in the URL, you know you've set it up right

[sharp citrus]

and i assume i punch the url in through the "Add mod..." field?

[humble fern]

No that's for manually adding a mod

[sharp citrus]

ahh

[humble fern]

Oh wait

no yes that

I thought you meant something else

[sharp citrus]

alr

and i assume i just copy+paste url from the url box?

63 times?

[humble fern]

What?

[sharp citrus]

how do i copy and paste a mod url

to miny

mint

[humble fern]

Just go to the mod page, copy the URL in the address bar in your browser, paste it into the box in mint, then press enter

Then you click install at the bottom right

[sharp citrus]

thanks brother

@humble fern if i were to do write+read would it import subscribed mods?

i dont wanna do that but im just asking

[humble fern]

I have to assume that the official guide explicitly says read so that it'll work in the first place

tbh I don't know if that's possible or not

I'd rather rely on mod.io as little as possible either way

[sharp citrus]

yea

i cant open modhub

@humble fern

[humble fern]

Press H

[humble fern]

Was it H? Did you make sure to click install mod after you downloaded it?

[sharp citrus]

oh 💀

yea its h

[humble fern]

🫠

[sharp citrus]

well

[humble fern]

Read the mod description before you install you goober

[sharp citrus]

it was

idk what it is now it isnt working

i thought u meant was

[humble fern]

You should just have to press H to open it, in game

[sharp citrus]

ik

i cant

[humble fern]

There's apparently a failsafe by pressing ctrl+alt+shift+f12

If that doesn't work then it's not installed

[sharp citrus]

oh

it says it is on mint

[humble fern]

You've definitely clicked this

[sharp citrus]

yes.

maybe it doesnt recognize drg it said it might do that

[humble fern]

Is it only mod hub that isn't working or do other mods work?

[sharp citrus]

idk im gonna go into a mission and see

i have the cheese gun mod so

[humble fern]

Hold on, when you pause and go to modding, does it appear as normal or is it locked?

[sharp citrus]

locked

idk how its locked

or why

[humble fern]

Because mint is overriding it, that's normal

[sharp citrus]

oh

if i uninstall mint will it work?

[humble fern]

No you need mint lol

[sharp citrus]

oh

[humble fern]

I was checking if mint was properly detecting the game

[sharp citrus]

ahh

ima try mint later this is too hard

but thanks for trying to help me anyway

fetching terms of use from mod.io

how to fix

well the best fix is reinstalling the game

[humble fern]

Did you accept the terms on this page? https://mod.io/me/access

[sharp citrus]

yes

or... no?

but mods were working earlier

[humble fern]

So you have or haven't accepted terms?

[sharp citrus]

well i accepted terms earlier

but it didnt say i did when i clicked on that

i accepted them though

[humble fern]

So you're seeing this on this page

[sharp citrus]

ye

[humble fern]

And where does it say it's "fetching terms"? Within mint? Is there more to the error?

[sharp citrus]

in deep rock

[humble fern]

You did unsubscribe from every mod on mod.io before installing them with mint yes?

[sharp citrus]

no

im dumb

welp

im reinstalling drg anyway so

[humble fern]

Okay so here's what I suggest

Remove mint, then unsubscribe from your mods on mod.io

Then set up mint again

[sharp citrus]

okay

[humble fern]

You shouldn't need to reinstall the game I don't think

And don't unsubscribe from the overlay, it's awkward as fuck, go right to mod.io on your browser

You'll need to make a new auth token on mod io, since you can only view it once when you make it. Hopefully, with a clean slate, you should be able to get it working

[sharp citrus]

@humble fern i did what you said (unsubscribed) and mods work now

[humble fern]

Thought that would do it

[sharp citrus]

it sorta did because pamc randomly stopped working along with overheat reticules

also do i need to keep the loader open? i didnt close it or anything

[humble fern]

You don't no, only when changing your list

[sharp citrus]

ahh

so what about the things randomly stopping working?

also do i need to restart my game everytime i load new mod(s)

also also is there an alternative to modhub? i dont mind modhub just wondering if theres an alternative

[humble fern]

I can't really say what your issues are without the details and I need to sleep. My knowledge extends to getting mint working and we've done that.

And modhub is all there is. Well there is miracle mod manager but mods are usually made to work with only one

[bronze wave]

yea

[patent elk]

is there a setting somewhere to stop out of date mods from being disabled every time i turn the game off?

it only takes me a second to reactivate them whenever i start the game up so its not a huge issue but its a bit annoying

[humble fern]

There should be a checkbox on the modding page

Though I suggest just using the mint mod manager

[patent elk]

found it, tysm I don't know how I didn't notice it

[humble fern]

It won't stop the game from randomly deciding it needs to redownload everything though lol

[quaint harbor]

how can i get one of those mods where i can do 5x2 lobbies

[maiden abyss]

Mint

[quaint harbor]

my question was rather confusing...
i wanna get one of those mods that allows me to do 5x2 lobbies

[maiden abyss]

There is a mod called Custom Difficulty that has presets for that stuff I think.

[sharp citrus]

speaking of which i understand how mint works now lol

[sharp citrus]

"hmm... i should redownload every installed mod"

[bronze wave]

oops

[bronze wave]

lol

[cursive wing]

Are mods all one sided? If I were to download a visual mod or something would my teammates need to download the same mod in order to play with me?

[warm pulsar]

Pinned messages

[heady sleet]

Are there any limitations with current modding tools/the game itself of how big an enemy you could create?

[fading mason]

anyone know where people get the cameraman outfit?

[swift pike]

content creator dlc reward

[coral sand]

Siirvend is back baybee LETS GOOOO

time to hear the new voicelines 😎

[quaint harbor]

they should add this mod to the performance mods on pinned, really useful to keep fps at a steady number whenever a mission lasts really long.
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/automatic-flare-cleanup

[thick cairn]

is there a mod like this but that you can change the song that plays?

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/comeback-theme-ace-attorney

[torn dust]

i was wondering, is there a mod that allows you to pick what music you want to play during swarms, ambience, etc.? or something along those lines?

[quartz imp]

what settings do you guys have temperature numbers set to?

im messing around with it but no matter what i do, the temp numbers never have a proper outline so its too hard to actually see what the temp numbers are

wait nvm i got it

[patent willow]

Hey guys, how do I get into modding, ie creating mods for drg? I see the channels here are on welcome page as “no access”, so I assume I have to request access from someone. I did read through the guides. Just thinking of updating some of the old mods and creating new ones, not sure where to start. Ty!

[maiden abyss]

You probably have to select a role like driller or engineer somewhere to see the channel. It has an invite to the modding dc

[patent willow]

I tried but nothing changes

[maiden abyss]

Ill dm you an invite to it

[covert ruin]

Hi everyone, I have some questions about game saves and modes. So I am unfamiliar with the DRG modding scene and was unaware I could play modded games without installing them. Recently I joined a very intense game and I assumed I was just playing a Hazard 5 plus game. I observed that there were more than 4 players and there was an absurd amount of croppa but I did not think much of it because I did not download any mods so I assumed it was just part of Hazard 5 Plus. After finishing I saw that I got 5000 croppa, I knew that was crazy so I'm not sure if I should revert my save or just keep going, what is DRGs policy on situations like this?

[graceful flax]

no policy, it's on the host to announce/declare their lobby as modded as a courtesy

you can revert save if u want to follow strict progression, but it's up to you if you care that you have 5000 more croppa

[covert ruin]

i honestly feel mixed, on one hand I hate the grind for cosmetics and overclocks and I also mined all the croppa so its not like it just spawned in my inventory, but on the other hand, I am wondering if its going to feel for filling in the long run. I also believe this has happened in the past when I first got into the game so I'm thinking to myself that i am trying to prevent something that has already happened.

[stray chasm]

If you just want to get rid of it u can sell it at the mineral trade terminal and then buy other minerals, then sell those too, and repeat until you've lost enough that it feels fair

[covert ruin]

thank you for the impute, I will do that

[near narwhal]

Well, there's a search bar on mod.io . I know a mod, but you can use the search bar instead and have the result much faster

With the manual and how to download etc. is everything on mod.io

[heady sleet]

hello people

what are the molly cosmetic mods

hopefully client side

[dusty holly]

the only one I know about is this one : https://mod.io/g/drg/m/miracles-magnificent-mules

[heady sleet]

thanks

I would wish for a simpler one though

[dusty holly]

requires Miracle Mod Manager though

[heady sleet]

yeah

[dusty holly]

which adds random stuff here and there

[heady sleet]

yeah nah

I'd rather not

[dusty holly]

nothing that breaks the progression

[heady sleet]

ok

[ruby isle]

Asking here as it may be a result of a mod I have added, but anyone know any reasons why my team depository hides iteslf during missions? Or is there a way for me to pull it up? Would be really handy during event times just to double check if the team has deposited the holiday item among other things

[dusty holly]

check your UI settings and make sure it's set to always visible

[ruby isle]

Not seeing a specific setting for it, but everything below the profanity filter check box is set to "visible"

Some how I never noticed that pulling out the terrain scanner makes it pop up

[obsidian umbra]

what mod lets me spawn machine events? i have six cores and im tired of waiting

[harsh quest]

In theory would custom biomes be possible?

(I feel like the mission map would have to be... Changed somehow...)

[weary lark]

hello! new to the modding scene, is it possible for mods to add new perks? if so, how do they interact with stuff like the perk tree?

[twilit barn]

There is massive content revise
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/massive-content-revise
Which mentions new perks.

You can also just search modio (the game integrated site) https://mod.io/g/drg?_q=Perks

[lethal vale]

yo anyone know why my mod hub just disappeared

[blazing stag]

how do you make it so the bulk det in spawn menu mod has bigger crater?

[twilit barn]

Do you mean something like https://mod.io/g/drg/m/badderbulks ?

[blazing stag]

YEES tysm

[blazing stag]

anyone know how to get the lost packs and batterie crates to show up in the spawn menu?

i have a cool video idea but they arnt in there

[timid loom]

mod that redmodels the hurricane?

preferably makes it thinner

[pliant cradle]

Got like, 9 scam replies and 3 from people who don't actually have their DMs open to people, so I'm no longer looking for people for this here, and have closed my DM's to this server. I have an artist friend of mine who wants to learn how to do game models anyway, and they're willing to do it for a good price, so it's no real worries.

[carmine hatch]

Damn, AssemblyStorm leaves the community. I really loved their mods
https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/1eszt57/the_creator_of_the_advanced_darkness_mod_is/

[swift pike]

surely gsg will do something now that there's a big reddit post

[hard nest]

some bad actors still plaguing modio huh

[swift pike]

you can drop the "s"

mostly

[muted fox]

no, it's still plural

Until gsg makes a statement all we have are heavily biased accounts from multiple angles when it comes to the problems the modding community has, so in the meantime people would be best served keeping those opinions to themselves.

[swift pike]

gsg made their "investigating copyright" statement 5 months ago and have said nothing since

or rather, jacob

i struggle to believe it would take 5 months for them to figure out if the entire uploaded mod was stolen content as claimed

[hard nest]

not much to be figuring out now probably

[muted fox]

There's far more to it than that, so I will again refer you to the post I made. #modded-drg-chat message

[swift pike]

far more to the mod never being restored because of the copyright claim?

[muted fox]

When it comes to problems with our modding community, it would appear that the sources of drama are interconnected and return almost cyclically.

[swift pike]

i don't quite understand what you're referencing, but i also don't see how that ties in to gsg supposedly dealing with the problem in march

[low crow]

is there a mod that adds gambling anywhere

[swift pike]

not to my knowledge

[cosmic eagle]

what's going to happen to mint?

will it still be updated or do we suffer modio if season 6 breaks anything

[robust abyss]

anyone got haz6x2 settings? idk if I just dont understand it or what cause I changed the setting abit and it still felt ez asf(solo)

[graceful flax]

With Assembly retiring, I no longer have any interest in maintaining DRG modding projects -- this includes my flamethrower/stingtail/septic recolor mods and perhaps more importantly, mint, so I'm going to be retiring from DRG and DRG-related spaces (formally this time) as well.

Regrettably, this means that mint will become completely unmaintained. The tool is MIT-licensed, so anyone is welcome to fork and maintain their own versions. Folks using other forks will also need to be cautious of potential malware, just like you would with the original repository.

To GSG: we should not have to rely on a third-party tool to manage our mods to avoid the various bugs with the official modding integration that makes user experience awful. Mint was created out of frustration of the various bugs that the in-game mod.io modding integration had, and still has. The DRG players frankly deserve better, and I can only hope GSG fixes the official mod.io integration so the players don't have to redownload the entire mods list upon closing the game too quickly, among other bugs.

Not only is the in-game modding integration system bitrotting away, so is the modding community. There has been some dubious moderation practices involved with the DRG mod.io subsite, and this was brought to GSG's attention for a good couple of months now. Radio silence. People have been shadow-banned on mod.io without any explanation or notice. This has driven and is driving multiple prominent modders away from DRG.

So instead of further dealing with this situation, I'm going to step away as well. I hope GSG tries to fix the official modding system for DRG, or come up with a better one for Rogue Core. And more importantly, I hope GSG reconsiders its community management practices.

Rock and stone miners! This is memtransmute, over and out.

[ornate nymph]

That is understandable and I'm sorry to hear that. Myself and a select few of my friends were literally in the process earlier tonight of figuring out how to mod DRG from the Microsoft Store for ourselves on PC but also for several of my other friends on Xbox as a fun surprise we were going to live stream and I happened to stumble into your post just now after a bunch of troubleshooting.
It is quite unfortunate to hear and I really hope that the scene will be better maintained given how much potential it seems to have and ultimately how exciting it was for us to see all kinds of wacky and wonderful mods and community additions.
For rock and stone!

[heady sleet]

is there a way to keep enabled out of date mods?

otherwise it keeps getitngf disabled

[blazing stag]

Why is everybody retireing??

[clever crow]

It's complicated and several people have said contradictory things

[blazing stag]

ok

[clever crow]

Essentially there appears to be a dispute between the admins of the drg mod.io hub, and several modders who developed - amongst other things - the mod sideloader.

Neither of these groups are gsg employees

But mod.io is the official, built-in and allegedly supported modding system, while the "mint" sideloader is unofficial and unsupported

[tiny gorge]

Mint also more stable and doesn't uninstall all the stuff or something from what i have heard

But i have seen the shadow bans on mod.io

[swift pike]

mint being unofficial has nothing to do with it

the modding discord is probably one of the most popular places to find mint, had its own channel for it last i know

[heady sleet]

is there a way to keep enabled out of date mods?
otherwise it keeps getitngf disabled

[dusty holly]

there's a checkbox you can untick on the left side in the modding menu

it should stop disabling out of date mods most of the time

[bright cipher]

Are there any mods that add new weapons

[midnight glacier]

Not that I'm aware of but I've been having trouble actually navagating Mod.io due to the fact that I've neevr used it before

[bright cipher]

Same I want to get into modding

[midnight glacier]

From what I understand, Mod.io is having a lot of issues

Or at least people are having issues with it

[bright cipher]

Oh ok should I use smth else

[midnight glacier]

I have no idea. I know nothing about Modding sadly so I can't help but while Mod.io seems to have a bad side, there is also a good side to the point that there are a lot of great Mods on it

[bright cipher]

Oh ok

[midnight glacier]

I'm sure there are people here who won't mind helping and/or giving advice

[maiden abyss]

You guys can join the modding discord for more info on modding drg #fan-communities message

[rain skiff]

anyone else hosting w/ verified mods having trouble finding randoms?

[twilit barn]

It's okay to start with modio and explore their site. It's not perfect but it functions and lots of great mods available

[indigo wyvern]

Hello, any opinions about modhub? I heard this isn't worth to download, got any alternatives?

I think an alternative was being worked on shadow bans and stuff

Also mint or something

[indigo wyvern]

Shadow bans?

[fleet pond]

Does verified mods increase spawn rate on EDD? I recently play in EDD lobby with verified mods on and they complaining about it.

I ask, cause DD lobby and other before the EDD doesn't have any complain at all

[dusty holly]

the only thing that increase spawn regarding mods, are mods that increase spawn

and those are usually approved or sandbox mods

[tiny gorge]

this breaks down so of the mod io stuff

[tiny gorge]

and this one

[fleet pond]

Thanks, I need to confirm that it wasn't my fault for the spawn rate increases.

Also how you getting the union role on that profile?

[twilit barn]

Are we allowed to share info here about the situation or no?

[tiny gorge]

i mean the reddit link is like 20 messages up and has not been scrubbed yet so im not sure

[dusty holly]

#modded-drg-chat message

[dusty holly]

that would go in #suggestions

[warm smelt]

ohh, my bad

[heady sleet]

is there a mod for testing ground liek you can spawn enemie and stuff

[chrome lichen]

What happened to it? Oh nvm, I read back the messages, sry

[stray chasm]

Sandbox utilities

[jaunty patio]

Anyone knows why none of my mods are updating?

I kinda need the performance stuff cos the game keep crashing without it

[harsh fox]

For the more players mod, I'm guessing that random public games aren't much of a thing, are they?

[floral shuttle]

Is there an infinite ammo mod
or just infinite drill fuel?
i know it would be sandbox, but i just want to dig dig

[violet lava]

At first I thought the 50 mod limit was fine. Until I exceeded it. 💀

[fallen scroll]

Hey, small question for the modding community, I'm trying to get hold of the files for the Drillers hand drills to 3d print them but so far it's taking installing several things I've never used before and will likely only use once. Is there anyone out there who's already got the drill tool model files that would be willing to send them over?

[errant fox]

i cant seem to turn this mod on and it says a dependency is removed/disabled even though i already have drglib installed, is there a problem with this one?

[tulip flare]

Just experienced oops all bulks for the first time.

DRG if it was horror

Used two resupp dips just to get clear of a wave of them, and eventually my game crashed lol

There isn't enough hyperprop rounds in the world

[flat plover]

Is there a mod that just turns engi into tf2 engi lol

[midnight glacier]

Might have another Mod that it is dependent on

[opaque glacier]

Why for god's sake do my mods keep resetting every 5 times I launch the game, I'm spending more time recreating my config which also wipes itself FOR SOME REASON
Is there some sort of external mod manager because I am losing my mind

And also how do I actively say "No don't install this mod" because I know some of the mods are actively outdated but the game has insisted on unpacking them and marking them as pending install anyway even when I switch to a new config which is supposed to disable mods

[ember portal]

Any way to just remove muzzle flashes?

[twilit barn]

I suggest Googling mod integration tool for drg and finding something suitable on GitHub, GSG allows external mod tools but nothing other than Modio is endorsed by GSG

[opaque glacier]

The mod Spawn control says it needs to be on host + clients to work properly but I'm hosting a server using mint loaded mods so that does not seem to be an option... Is there anything that will allow me to dynamically control spawn size / bug HP that will work with this setup?

[errant fox]

it's already fixed i just have to restart my game like twice apparently

[midnight wave]

And Miracoulon takes a break too
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/miracle-mod-manager

[calm sun]

Huh, quite a bit going on in the modding scene it seems

[lavish birch]

The modding situation is really a disaster, I hope GSG can remove the ones responsible for this

[flat plover]

:O!

[nimble yoke]

What are the modding rules? I was just in a game where we were on haz3, we had like 5 objectives and a guy was placing down pipes on escort. I asked them if thats cheating and they told me its a pve game so it dosnt matter and that ghost ship allows it. Is this allowed?

[dusty holly]

there is not anticheat nor ingame moderation

people do whatever they want in their lobbies

[nimble yoke]

well thats strange

[dusty holly]

what's strange about it ?

[nimble yoke]

Im just not used to joining a random game and basically seeing ppl with cheats

[dusty holly]

there is an official mod support but that doesn't mean you have to use it

and sideloaders exist

[lone sigil]

The mod for making slurs is not updated it don't work anymore 😭

But the can you feel my heart when you use iron will is epic!

[twilit barn]

If you mean the swear shout mod, it still works with the mod integrated tool (side loader), it just hasnt had a refresh update for S5

[lone sigil]

Ooooooow

Makes sense

[gaunt atlas]

what are some purely vanity mods you people here would reccomend?

Heya I'm having trouble getting mods to work on the Game Pass PC version (downloaded), I've set up MINT and installed mods but they aren't working, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand

[crimson trout]

what texture mod is useful?

( i dont want anything fancy) just simple and useful, i downloade mods like simple azure and hollow and also lighter version of no particles

[ivory mural]

odd question, is there a verified/approved mod that lets me pick which overclock i want? or at the very least increases the chance of it

[sweet grotto]

soon :)

[swift pike]

idk how that hasn't already been made previously tbh

[crimson trout]

if i have a verfied mod, does that shows my session as modded or normal?

[sinful mauve]

Guys do you know any mods for taking screenshots? Got advanced darkness and next gen graphics. Maybe you know any other mods?

[swift tree]

god what a loss. Mira and Assemblystorm did so much for the community

It's super disappointing that GSG seem to be ignoring this.

[muted fox]

@lavish birch We really don't need the drama dragged over here to this server, thank you.

[lavish birch]

No DRG modding discussion in DRG modding?

[muted fox]

At this point, if you yourself are not personally involved, then you are harassing other users in public chats.

And I want to make this abundantly clear, since people take things as they wish:

This is not an endorsement of anyone's behavior, real or perceived.

This is me telling you as a moderator of this discord, that dragging drama into here is not something any of us wish to deal with here. You have dm's and other methods of contact open to you if you are actually interested in questioning people involved.

[lavish birch]

Goldblade asked me to ask questions, and he doesn't answer on his discord, idk why you are calling this harasment

[muted fox]

I'm calling it harassment because unfortunately, some of the people involved in this debacle have taken it upon themselves to pressure others who are not involved to message and accuse others who are involved.

People get one side of information from a singular source, and start bandwagoning.

[late bay]

can anyone explain to me verrified and aproved modding catagories because i dont really get the diffirence

[slate basin]

is it possible to change sounds by replacing the audio file?

[lavish birch]

Did I pressure others?

[dusty holly]

there's a pinned FAQ that should detail everything you need to know

in this channel

[slate basin]

anyone know?

[dusty holly]

should be possible but I'm not expert, you'd be better off to ask in the modding discord, which is linked in #fan-communities

or patiently wait here for someone with actual modding knowledge to answer you

[late bay]

Oh Alright thank you

[slate basin]

guess ill wait 🤷‍♂️

[kind stratus]

So basically if a side decides to not speak anything the state will never proceed and all related messages will all be deleted?

That is very… weird to say the least when the side is accused

[humble fern]

@stone swift first uninstall any mods you have then look online for "deep rock mint." This is how you'll be managing mods from now on.

Once that's set up, install the mods:

Mod hub
More players balanced
Higher enemy cap

[stone swift]

thanks man!

[humble fern]

You can adjust player count within mod hub by pressing H in game

[stone swift]

i see

[humble fern]

Feel free to get other mods but that's the bare minimum for 16 players

[ivory mural]

what is mint?

[humble fern]

Just google "deep rock mint," mate

[stone swift]

by mod hub, is that one of the mods from modio that you import into mint?

because i see the "more player balanced" option but it only scales to 8

[humble fern]

Yeah just go to mod.io, go to the page for the mod hub mod, then copy and paste the URL into mint

[humble fern]

You should be able to configure it with mod hub in game I think

afaik 8 isn't the limit

[stone swift]

yeah i see what u mean now

although which url do i copy

[humble fern]

The main mod page

e.g. this https://mod.io/g/drg/m/more-players-balanced

[stone swift]

so essentially this

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/mod-hub

[humble fern]

Yes

[stone swift]

ok

i thought there was some secondary one u would have to dl

now i need a token?

[humble fern]

Seems 16 is the limit

I know you can do it much higher with other mods but I'm not sure which exactly

More players balanced is just a handy all in one thing for it that lets you scale and tweak things

[humble fern]

Carefully read the instructions from the same place you downloaded mint

[stone swift]

sweet got it

thanks for your help

can you add mods through mod hub in game or would i have to do the same process through mint and whatnot

[humble fern]

Mod hub is just a menu to configure mods. I think you mean mod.io, and no

You'll need to go the the mod's page on mod.io then paste it into mint

[stone swift]

okay cool

[humble fern]

It's a little bit of extra work to get set up but by and large it's way more dependable

built in mod support will just randomly make you re-download every mod for no reason

In addition to other jank

[stone swift]

do i not have to go make tokens again

or was that just to get started

[humble fern]

No that's a one time thing

[stone swift]

awesome

[humble fern]

If you punch in a URL and it downloads, it's working

[stone swift]

think i got it setup

any other qol mods for larger lobbies you would rec?

[humble fern]

tbh I don't host modded lobbies too much and tend to stick with client side verified mods, so I wouldn't know. I suggest just looking on mod.io, filtering to approved (I also think there's a quality of life category), and sorting by most subscribers

[stone swift]

alrighty then thanks

[humble fern]

You technically don't need to use mint btw but you need to if you want your lobby to appear alongside everyone else's. Otherwise you won't get many people joining you.

[flat ermine]

Important info: mint forces the modded tag regardless of mod category, meaning it's a detriment if you only plan to use verified

This will not be changing unless someone takes up resuming development on a new fork

[humble fern]

Hm? I only use verified with mint and I don't get given that tag

[flat ermine]

It's not visible to you

It only appears for other players

Unless you could see your own lobby name

[humble fern]

Oh the lobby just doesn't show up alongside approved, that's right

As far as matchmaking is concerned it's a verified lobby despite the tag I think

[flat ermine]

Yeah but it's definitely a problem. It misleads players who join and expect modded gameplay, while also making players not join your lobby because they don't want to play modded

Best current option unless someone resumes development is to use a fork that removes the tag fully, which is another can of worms and opens up abuse potential

But it's not like the ingame modding isn't abused in similar ways anyway

[uneven cape]

if they read the lobby name and see "[MODDED]" they should also be able to keep reading to where you tell them what to expect

[ivory mural]

does mint have an auto-sort?

[uneven cape]

no but it has a search

[twilit barn]

Note the auth tokens expire after a year then you'll need to get another. The error in mint will show as authenticator failed

[ivory mural]

is there a drg modded discord or just this folder?

[muted fox]

There is a modding discord. It's a bit of a mess right now though.

[ivory mural]

so id be better off solving my mint error here?

[muted fox]

I think as a new player you'll probably be all right asking over there for assistance if here isn't fast enough.

[ivory mural]

where’s the link to it?

you should be able to fix it by following the steps in https://github.com/trumank/mint/issues/134, or uninstalling missions hud (which i believe is what causes that issue)

[ivory mural]

thanks

[ivory mural]

i had missions hud, got rid of it, and the error still came up

hazard persistence was the issue

[swift pike]

i think simpleqol has a similar feature among other things

[ivory mural]

i’ll have a look

meanwhile i am discovering how to recreate doom

[supple hearth]

if i play with mods can other players still join my game?

[ivory mural]

if you are using built in mods, only up to 50 mods, any more and its invite only, if you are using mint, anyone can join regardless of mod count

[heady sleet]

hi, how does uui work

unified ui

I heard it's better than mod hub

[twilit barn]

It's an alternative, not so much better. Its not on modio. There's a pak on practical drg discord (technical drg subreddit) / ask there

[heady sleet]

okay
