modded-drg-chat

[covert rivet]

since it's a sandbox mod you'd have to make a sandbox save

[austere bloom]

So its gonna be a for fun thing

Is it?

No counting towards progression

[covert rivet]

It doesn't count towards progression no.

[timid zealot]

if u put the pak into a verified mod file like those sound mods then yea

[timid zealot]

depends on how the folder and pak is managed

[covert rivet]

That's not how it works
Approval levels are set on mod.io. MCR is set as sandbox, so you'll be prompted to use a sandbox save when you install the mod.

To use MCR on a regular save you'd use a sideloader like MINT

https://mod.io/g/drg/r/mod-guidelines-and-status-categories

[shell inlet]

MCR has pretty much always been approved. It just disables non account leveling achievements like any other approved mod.

[covert rivet]

Huh is it the testing one that's sandbox then?

I'm surprised MCR isn't sandbox but I guess it's a special case since it's basically a whole new game

And I've noticed that the new modding changes breaks often when you use sandbox mods, I've had sandbox mods enabled and it never prompted me to make a sandbox save so they were working on my normal save (my lobby was marked as modded in blue correctly though)

[restive drum]

Not a massive fan of modding, only for certain games, but are there some not-so-crazy QoL mods to help with, let's say, see the damage done?

With that being said, can players with mods play with players without mods?

[covert rivet]

There are quite a few damage indicator mods.

And as for your second question, it depends on the approval level of the mod:

• Verified mods: you don't appear as modded, you can join other players just fine
• Approved/Sandbox mods: you appear as modded, you are prompted to disable mods if you join someone else who does not have the same approved mods (or are not using mods)

Most of the damage indicator mods are verified, so you'll be able to use them and join other vanilla players just fine @restive drum

[restive drum]

That's so cool! Thanks!

I just like seeing silly numbers on the screen, y'know? I don't want anything crazy

[covert rivet]

Some mods are outdated but still work fine, so you have to enable the "Allow outdated mods" option when you're installing mods on the info screen
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/damage-indicator

[restive drum]

Thank you so much!

Is it recommended to have other QoL mods? Like, I don't know, ammo % shown on screen, which I've seen some people use

[covert rivet]

Entirely up to you, if you'd like those additions then go for it. Since you're looking to join other players who aren't necessarily using mods, just check they're tagged verified and you should be all good.

[restive drum]

Alright! Thanks!

I'll check them out. I just want to play with the necessary amount of mods since the vanilla experience is already great

I assume the "Verified" mods are server-side, thus why they can be used while playing with people without mods, right?

[covert rivet]

Client side, so they don't modify anything for other players

[restive drum]

Alright, so I've tried it out. It's nice! I made it so it's not merged, so weapons that deal DoT (like the Breach Cutter) and shotguns are silly number generators!

[obsidian prawn]

why did my mod list change without me touching it?
a verified mod was enabled, now disabled and 2 sandbox mods that were disabled became enabled

[swift pike]

best to not ask or it might decide to change more

[upbeat sparrow]

Why did all my mods disappear literally overnight

they're all still marked as subscribed on modio but they're not in-game anymore

[swift pike]

this message is still relevant

[daring tundra]

Just checking, did the devs push another update that bricked the mods again?
I don't see any steam patch notes but been encountering this mess since yesterday.

Sequence 1: launch game > all mods are disabled > goto info screen > activate them again > play game > close game > launch game > all mods were disabled again >

Sequence 2: launch game > all mods are disabled > goto info screen > says no mods installed > mod list is empty and refreshing doesn't do shit > shut down game > relaunch game > get either Sequence 1 or Sequence 2 (50/50).

[fervent salmon]

so how do you view the changelog of a mod on mod.io?

[covert rivet]

Click the small page icon next to the release

[fervent salmon]

danke

[hearty seal]

<@&296918282403840000>

[muted fox]

What's up?

[hearty seal]

Sorry, I was just slow with reporting, it's already gone 👍

[dull nebula]

should i install this mod?

what it does it change the sentry's upgrade path

[covert rivet]

the description shows everything that mod does

[summer badger]

Ok so

Anyone from general here

[tacit sedge]

Right, so about that Lootbug thing...

Is there any mods that can make one a pet of mine?

[gentle merlin]

quick question for the modders.

is there a way for me to not have any mods in my server?

I'm tired of lies of dmg, mining speed and causation of lag.

[swift pike]

banning players is your only option

though i'm curious what you mean by causing lag

[gentle merlin]

the goo launcher that he was using was putting me down to like 10 fps.

thanks homie.

[maiden abyss]

This mod has a blacklist functionality if you are using some branch of mint https://mod.io/g/drg/m/exile#description

[gentle merlin]

idk what branch of mint is, I've got 0 mods so far and wanna stop cheating ones.

thank you!

oh shit, this looks good!

[cunning helm]

Hey folks, been trying to know if the mod "Wrath of Hoxxes" is still being worked on

[covert rivet]

They're taking a break from modding for now but they plan on coming back to it

[cunning helm]

ohhhh ok

[cunning helm]

Guys i kinda need help

i wanna play something with an approved mod with a friend

ok idk why but, disabling some VERIFIED mod helped with that

weird

WOWWW ok, desync fixer caused this

[forest hollow]

Does anyone know if they're going to add some mods as base features or provide mod support on consoles?

I'm a PS player and it's sad to be the one excluded from the mod crowd.

And now that I've discovered MCR, I don't want to be without it.

[frozen zephyr]

hello

any mod recommendations ?

id love to see what u guys r using QoL mostly

[cunning helm]

enemies in scanner

or smt like that i forgot the name

and then brighter objects (not the add-on)

Mit's Personalized Nitra (Kinda helps if the nitra really disguises itself on the walls)

[cosmic meteor]

is there any mod to remove the smoke of the drillers drills ?

[elder spoke]

@tawny mural this is the guy who mastered bhopping in this game
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/hold-to-jump-bhop

he's called hold to jump

[tawny mural]

Thank you!

[elder spoke]

since you are new, I feel the need to explain the joke
the joke is that this is a client mod whoch makes bhopping way easier, not an actual person

[tawny mural]

can i use shotgun and grappler as bhop momentum?

[elder spoke]

yes

[tawny mural]

awesome sauce

[amber pawn]

are there mods that add more weapons to the classes, can you even?

[austere bloom]

whats up with major content revise generating crazy ass mission numbers

collect 200 aquarqs and 40 mini mules type stuff

[forest hollow]

Does anyone know if there's any chance of having support for mods on PS or mods becoming an official part of the game?

I discovered MCR and I don't want to stop using it when I get my Playstation

[molten widget]

does anybody know which mod does this?

is it super mission stats?

[cosmic meteor]

anyone knows why mods don't stay active ?

[austere bloom]

is there a mod that lets you quickly restart missions?

[eternal jewel]

how did they make modding worse .w.

[dull pulsar]

Does anyone use the : personal mini mules , mod ??? Does the roomba mode of it work for yall ?

[covert rivet]

you have to be a Kofi suppoter of the mod to be able to use the boosts marked with [B]

which includes roomba

[austere bloom]

making a mod and having a core feature paywalled

sure am loved by my family

[covert rivet]

eh. i'm impartial to them having some of the stuff backed behind kofi/patreon stuff. modding isnt the easiest and most of the mule stuff is free to use

[austere bloom]

mods should be free.

[covert rivet]

well it is free
they're only asking for support
because making mods takes effort and time

[echo grove]

Unless it's paywalling a core mechanic of the mod (which isn't in this case) I don't see the issue

[fervent salmon]

default settings for MCR, go the guy it should spawn you near, explore the menu

[austere bloom]

seen

[fervent salmon]

so like, full new modded weapons dont seem to exist. but theres a handful of custom weapon model mods. and you can get a mod that changes or adds overclocks and or mods that change a specific weapon

[austere bloom]

karl mode lets you mix and match any weapon and gear

[fervent salmon]

☝️this is true but i think its sandbox?
nope approved

[fervent salmon]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/restart-level-ctrl-f5#description

[fervent salmon]

checked the pinned messages, the newest one is a good place to start

[crystal nymph]

Display Events remade is labled as verified while the original isn't, so I'm not sure what to believe about it lol

[blissful lava]

Hey guys, does someone know why I can't accept terms of use of mods.io in the game ? It just load indefinitly and throw an http error

[limpid dome]

Are there multiple bods to increase crew size, if so which is the least taxing for the system? And if there is only one, then what that might be called? Thanks 🙂

[covert rivet]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/more-players-balanced is the one most people use @limpid dome

[shell inlet]

The least taxing would be my variant, but it is sandboxed.

[austere bloom]

is there a place people post mod requests/ideas

[timid zealot]

glitch it to be verified

[cunning helm]

Hey guys, im having some issues

not exactly mod not working or crashing

its just when i use some combination of mods, im stuck in a singleplayer lobby

kinda like this

it would be great if someone tell me whats going on

this never happened to me before

[placid warren]

Hey. Are you using in-game DRG mod integration or MINT?

[cunning helm]

ingame drg mod integration

the thing is it only happens at certain approved mods

[covert rivet]

can you send a modlist

[cunning helm]

ok hold on

dammit i forgot i killed the broken mods

i still remember it was

Wrath of hoxxes (testing branch)
Wrath of hoxxes (normal)
Desync fixer

for some reason its wrath of hoxxes

[main raft]

Is there a group that hosts these crazy big lobbies where everything happens at once? I'd like to join in every now and then but only stumble upon them by chance in the server lists

[covert rivet]

wrath of hoxxes is still being made so it might have issues

[covert rivet]

the ones i know post their discord servers in the game chat when you join them. try catching them again and seeing if they have a discord

[cunning helm]

im aware of it

sometimes it allows me to play with others if i dont use other approved mods

but sometimes it just doesnt lol

hooollup i notice something

oh my god, its literally drg tweaking

once i click c on pause menu everything works back to normal

😭

[main raft]

Aw I must have missed it

[echo grove]

Doesnt that usually just happen if u have 50+ mods

The game doesn't let you host anymore

[covert rivet]

no, the 50 mod limit has been removed since S5.10 update
and been able to host fine with more mods than that

[echo grove]

Oh huh that's good at least

Dunno what'd be causing it then

I probably didn't notice cus I used Mint anyway

[upper sleet]

I lost all my mods but when i open the browser im still subscribed

[austere bloom]

think they got disabled

yo does the external mod loaders fix that?

[sharp ice]

Mods that excessively boost xp and resources arent allowed right?

[covert rivet]

They are, they would just be sandbox mods
Already a bunch of mods that do that exist

[sharp ice]

Whats a sandbox mod

[covert rivet]

There are three mod categories: verified, approved, sandbox
https://mod.io/g/drg/r/mod-guidelines-and-status-categories

[sharp ice]

So basically

No its not allowed

Only if there are restrictions

Which there were not

[covert rivet]

you joined someone using mods?

[sharp ice]

Yes

Host on the far right

[covert rivet]

I mean that's your choice to join a modded lobby, you could have disconnected at any time if they were using mods that increase progression. Like more player lobbies, or spawning all events, etc.

[sharp ice]

I wasnt sure the game was actually gonna process it and let my curiosity get the best of me

[cunning helm]

some people do use "Spawn Menu" to get these lol

incredibly funny how it got tagged as approved

you can spawn basically whatever i think

[cunning helm]

man im dead

[burnt smelt]

quick question why doesn't my mint work?

i cant add mods

[covert rivet]

Have you followed the github instructions and added an oauth key

[burnt smelt]

no not like that i cann add mods to the mint but they dont show up ingame

[covert rivet]

press install mods before launching game
you also have to put -disablemodding in your game launch options on steam

[burnt smelt]

alright thank you

hope this works

[burnt smelt]

okay i shouldve seen that coming am i doing something wrong

[covert rivet]

mint mods do not show in the info screen mod list

you have to just enter the game

-disablemodding is required because the last updates meant that mod.io loads before mint so it broke it

[burnt smelt]

yeah that was my issue

you have no idea how much of a life saver you are thank youuuuu

[cunning helm]

i really love MCR's Survival mode

probably one of the most fun i ever had in modded drg

[austere bloom]

is it possible to set loading priorities for certain mods?

[covert rivet]

Not with the built in mod.io
Also, mods decide when they load to an extent.
Mods that do asset replacement like changing sounds, you can only decide which one overwrites another by using the sideloader @austere bloom

[austere bloom]

the sideloader?

[covert rivet]

yes there are external mod sideloaders like MINT, mintcat, and so on

[austere bloom]

ok

[pine granite]

what's a good, simple 8-player modpack? rn, i got 8 players balanced, dynamic nitra cost, and bigger, badder bulks.

[waxen shoal]

I have some issues with a mod, but I'm not sure if this is the right channel to do this, can somebody help me out?

[covert rivet]

what mod are you having issues with

[waxen shoal]

Purple Nitra, I want to remove it but it somehow persists

unsubscribing doesn't work, neither does verifying game files

[waxen shoal]

just drop any ideas you got, I gtg do smth

[covert rivet]

maybe install another nitra color mod and then disable that one
i know my mod personalised nitra resets it back to vanilla when you're in spacerig
might be that the purple nitra mod does not reset it properly

[waxen shoal]

Will see if I can try it out today, not home anymore...

[austere bloom]

does mod hub instantly set your sessions to approved?

[covert rivet]

No, since modhub is a verified mod not an approved one. @austere bloom

[wild depot]

so is mod.io having a fit or something?

cause I can't adjust my mods because it wants me to 'Accept the Terms of Use' which I did like a friggin week ago

It's giving me issues with joining other modded lobbies... and I'm going to make the assumption that even if my lobby is public... people won't be able to join it due to whatever mod.io is doing

I can't turn mods off, I can't curate which ones are active.

It's just refusing to cooperate as it's also telling me mod.io won't load.

[dapper grove]

i need to figure out how to mod so that i can have "bombs for throwing at you" from portal 2 play during the caretaker fight

[cunning helm]

uhh

idk how to report mods (a mod has a bug) for drg

but uhh i'll say it, MCR (testing) kinda have a problem. If you do a resupply for sentry ammo, the next normal resupply (for dwarves) is sentry ammo but expensive

[covert rivet]

You can put a comment on mod.io on the mod page or join the MCR discord server

[cunning helm]

i joined the discord server lol

told em whats goin on

[tepid parrot]

I can't make a sandbox save for some reason

I have sandbox mods installed but from what I've read, the game would have prompted me to make a sandbox save, and it has not done that.

[topaz mulch]

hey, can anyone help me? Im using nobaraOS(linux) and im using mint, what happens is that i had to look for a fork of the original mint repo, and for some reason, it wont disable my mod.io subscribed mods, if i dont disable all of them, i will load my mint modlist and the mod.io list. And if my mint modlist is installed, when i click in mods inside the game, my game just crashes

oh, forgot to say that i tried using proton experimental and the latest realese of protonGE

[uneven cape]

in steam properties of drg try adding -disablemodding in the launch options box

[topaz mulch]

worked

ty!

[solemn latch]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/more-secondary-objectives#description @lilac minnow

[harsh sparrow]

i just think thats crazy tho the mod doesnt even tell me why he just delete my message

Any way

[summer badger]

And yes if u install new mods, you have to open and close the game for them to be installed

Some mods also need another click on the installed mods menu to activate

Why idk they just do

[harsh sparrow]

Yeah i found the way to save it so it stays activated

[summer badger]

Stuff like changing the sound of my shard defractor needs to be activated every time I open the game

But my touhou ost mod doesn't need to be activated every time

It's weird

[harsh sparrow]

ok look

[summer badger]

But that's how it is

[harsh sparrow]

Go into the page where you activate your mods

[summer badger]

I can't I'm not home

[harsh sparrow]

ok

[summer badger]

Lmao

I won't be home for another 3 days

[harsh sparrow]

wow

[summer badger]

I'm out camping alr

[muted fox]

You did get told privately through the bot, but it looks like your dm settings either don't allow it or you blocked elemental.

[harsh sparrow]

Yeah I blocked it

I blocked unknown messages

thats why

[muted fox]

then you're going to have a hard time here, since we use it for official notifications

[harsh sparrow]

great

[summer badger]

I didn't get any notif

I only got it when I was temp muted for like 1h

[harsh sparrow]

I just like that nobody can dm me you know

no weirdo

no ads for channels

[summer badger]

I never get dm's so it's not an issue 4 me

[harsh sparrow]

I do

i am on big servers

[dusty holly]

well it's useful to report scam account to mods

and to get these bot notifs

it's up to everyone's preference ofc, but yeah you'll miss some things due to that

[harsh sparrow]

all g

[harsh sparrow]

there you go i activated it

whats the name of the bot

[dusty holly]

elemental

[harsh sparrow]

@crude pier

ok

can you try to send me someting with the bot

to do a test

[dusty holly]

sure

[muted fox]

I just did

[dusty holly]

gotcha

[olive quail]

unrelated note but one of my photos was removed (was modded and im fine with it) but i had to send it again cuz 1st time i didnt get any dm. 2nd one gave warning dm

idk if its a global issue

[heady imp]

once i saw a mini bulk detonator when playing some rando's lobby, do anyone know what's the name of that mod?

stats were the same i believe, he was just smol

[tepid parrot]

Still would love if anyone had any info on this

[covert rivet]

@tepid parrot Are you using a sideloader like MINT and have -disablemodding in your game launch options

[tepid parrot]

Mod.io

[covert rivet]

@heady imp
Mission Director/Twitch Integration has advanced spawner stuff to do things like mini bulks

[quasi bolt]

Hi drg friends , i have an ... issue? Basically first time i boot up the game my mods aren't detected for some reason and quitting the game and reopening it solves the issue. Does experience the same thing?

[olive quail]

@cunning helm mission controll voicelines, you are out of luck

also, the host must have the mod or noone will hear your shouts/dialouges

if you are using the one with multiple options (i forgot the name) or choose more than 1 sound for keybind, everytime you press a random one will play

and that random one may or may not be different than what you hear

like you say Mushroom!
butthey hear Mushroooom!

[dark chasm]

Hallo, anyone know of a mod/method to silence that incessant beeping Bet-Cs make once the Xynarchs are removed without repairing them? Most times I encounter a Bet-C unit i do not want to fix it. Thanks in advance.

[dusty holly]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/bet-c-b-silent#description

[hasty lagoon]

@summer badger

Because all the "Oops! All bulks!" Videos are done with swarm control

There's a mod called oops, all bulks on the mod.io page but that isn't it

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/swarm-size-control

[summer badger]

Mhm

Much appreciated

can u dm me this stuff so I can add them when I get home?

[hasty lagoon]

Alright

[summer badger]

I'm currently out of town by a decent amount

[cunning helm]

is there

any mod that disables dreadnought death anims

i am obsessed with ragdolls

[dull pulsar]

Is there a mod to spawn a horrors beyond comprehencion ?

Or like scp or something type of monsters to the game ???

Like backrooms vibe

[cunning helm]

Project Rebuilt?

that mod spawns in gigantic bugs in tight spacss

[gentle talon]

Why does it say I have no mods installed despite having more than 70?

[covert rivet]

in-game modding is buggy
try going to info screen and pressing refresh mods and usually that would then correctly install them

[gentle talon]

Sadly no.

[covert rivet]

does that at least show you the corect list of subscribed mods

[gentle talon]

I mean it knows what mods I have subscribed but I just can't install any

[cunning helm]

some question

since i know project rebuilt

what happened to the Re:forged though

is it remade to become project rebuilt or..

[autumn minnow]

is anyone else having issues with mods not being activated on startup?
i recently added some mods, and now they keep deactivating themselves when i open my game, i have to manually go in and re-select them
they stay installed, just not activated
its only the newer mods though

[tired blade]

is there any mods that allow you and your friends to have the same mission for your assignments? and any mods that can help with the OC rng?

[swift pike]

no to both, at least directly

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/oc-reroll#description: haven't used it, but lets you reroll unforged overclocks for a chance at a different one
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/miracles-assignment-reroll#description: can theoretically always have your assignment be the same as another player's assignment, but may take a lot of rerolls

[tired blade]

ty

[hollow quartz]

is there a way to check which mods are sandbox mods??

i'm coming back to the game after a long time, and just trying to have some basic mods on like bhopping or improved lighting

[covert rivet]

they will be tagged sandbox on mod.io
or if they don't have a "verified" or "approved" tag, then by default they are sandbox

[hollow quartz]

tysm

[uneven cape]

@drowsy ore https://mod.io/g/drg/m/cavegen-unlocker

[austere bloom]

cant get mod urls for my mint mod loader, how else can i get them?

[covert rivet]

You need to remove #description from them

[cunning helm]

hi guys

i remember having a mod which added like some kind of name to the bugs

would be cool if anyone here remembers it

[covert rivet]

This one?
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/goobie-woobie-enemy-names

[cunning helm]

o

no

its customizeable i think

basically you can have enemies having some kind of title or name

@severe pelican

this seems weird yknow???

[austere bloom]

how?

[covert rivet]

when you copy URLs from mod.io (https://mod.io/g/drg/m/) you'll see it puts #description on the end of the url. Just remove it manually, so a mod like https://mod.io/g/drg/m/mits-sentry-laser#description becomes https://mod.io/g/drg/m/mits-sentry-laser
then add that URL to mint

[austere bloom]

i tried using a ingame method to get the urls

it did not return me anything

deprecated perhaps, dont know

so will i have to copy the url of my mods one by one?

[covert rivet]

better modding menu doesnt work anymore. i made an updated version for copying mod urls
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/copy-mod-urls

[austere bloom]

splendid, thanks

[austere bloom]

alright, another step another trouble, what is this? cant find anything in the mods folder related to it

neither in mod io subs

[covert rivet]

you need to put -disablemodding into your game launch options on Steam

as the recent s5.10 update broke MINT as mod.io now loads sooner before MINT can disable it itself

[austere bloom]

so i now may only use mint to manage mods?

[covert rivet]

yep. you dont use the built in mod menu on the info screen anymore when using mint

-disablemodding does this, it doesnt disable mint modding

[austere bloom]

the built in one was a headache tbh

[dull nebula]

ok so

what are some rebalancing mods that are good?

[tawdry magnet]

Hey guys, what mods should I get?

[summer badger]

Personally I have some meme mods

Like twerk board

But

There's quite a few quality of life mods on the main page

Like ammo %

Heat meter

Brighter minerals

Damage indicator

[tawdry magnet]

Are there cosmetic mods though?

[summer badger]

Cosmetic as in

Appearance?

[tawdry magnet]

Yes

[summer badger]

Probably?

I don't use them tho

If they even exist

I have some sound mods like scout tf2 swarmers

Master spark sfx for the shard defractor

And kitty0706 sound effects on a power attack

I also use pet dwarves

And the ability to twerk

And a Bosco appearance mod

Just go on the mod browser

And explore to ur heart's content

Just remember you have to close and reopen the game if u Install new ones

[tawdry magnet]

Aight

I see

[dull nebula]

i'm late but

install a cosmetic restriction remover

[cunning helm]

since i cannot find the original mod i was referring, ig this helps

[cunning helm]

i recall you being able to like customize the enemy first and last name or smt

so if you put like "Jack" in the first name and "Daniel" in last, chances are enemy might be named Jack Daniel

[tough gust]

Does anyone know how to add a mod to a save slot? With the new manager in the info screen mods I enable aren't be saved in slot A, so they disappear when I reload the game.

[cunning helm]

I FINALLY FOUND THE MOD

IM SO HAPPYYY

[covert rivet]

there was no way I was finding that with how terrible the mod.io search is

[cunning helm]

dude...

i was

...

searching it in discord feed lfmao

[covert rivet]

nice

[cunning helm]

all i had to put tog get it done is

bugs + name

ORRR i could just click the author of passive aggressive

[honest marlin]

what mod allows you to enable every perk at once

does it even exist?

[covert rivet]

Not every perk but
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/eight-passive-perks

No idea if it works this season

Actually this one seems to do more
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/override-perks

[dapper fiber]

what happened to the mod that removed the dwarves shoes so they're all barefeet and make a plap plap plap sound when they walk

[honest marlin]

terms and services violation ig

[golden ridge]

It seems that I can't control my mods anymore. it all started after I installed DRG on my new PC

[covert rivet]

You edit mods on the info screen now, no longer on spacerig.
There is a button on the right that says this.

[uncut edge]

how do I fix all my mods being disabled every time i launch the game? since they moved mods to the main menu this keeps happening

[covert rivet]

i dont think a fix has been found unfortunately. the latest mod updates have made it worse than what it was before

[bitter dew]

I've occasionally seen a mod that prints what killed you in chat, does anybody know which one that is or is a part of

[uneven cape]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/downed-statsdowned-record

[bitter dew]

I can now put a name to the recipient of my vengeance

thanks

[upbeat quarry]

ngl this change made it uselessly complex to edit mods, also what the hell is that new mod site? im just utterly confused, it was fine the way it was

[uneven cape]

the new method causes mods to be loaded earlier during game startup than the old system, which fixes a certain type of bug related to mods not getting fully loaded/unloaded
unfortunately also introduced exciting new bugs

[sharp pine]

Is there a mod that allows you to adjust the size of your crosshair, or matches it to your weapon’s actual accuracy?

[twilit pulsar]

In info screen I'm stuck on "accept terms of use" in the mod.io menu...

And mods caused my game to crash

[covert rivet]

does clicking the orange terms of use text do anything

[twilit pulsar]

Nope

Also my refinery still becomes invisible

Can it be because I rolled back a windows 11 update?

Do I just reinstall the entire game at this point?

[covert rivet]

no that is not a fix ive seen
honestly at this point use the sideloader. I've used it since early 2024 and it works still to this day, other than now needing -disablemodding in the game launch options

[twilit pulsar]

It's crazy to me that the first 450 hours it worked fine and only now it does this

Wait what's a sideloader

Mint?

[covert rivet]

yes

[twilit pulsar]

Do you have to update all the mods manually tho

[covert rivet]

there are multiple forks though
I still use the original

there is an update cache button yes
mods dont really update much now anyway, mod scene is real quiet

[twilit pulsar]

I used only like 20+ mods, nothing game breaking

Mostly verified qol

Ammo percentage, platform placement preview, brighter objects, death marker, c4 marker, refinery pipe qol, better bolt visibility, particle removal no Ragdolls etc.

Not just for performance but because it looked cleaner

Also collective resources one and active mission stat tracker

Do you maybe know a video that explains detailed on how to set up mint and install mods with it? Do I have to have an account on modio for it or can I just download mods and put it in the loader kinda like curseforge for Minecraft? From like curseforge site or modrinth

@covert rivet

[covert rivet]

believe the repository itself has a written guide

You do have to have a mod.io account, but this is so you can make an api key for it to be able to fetch mods

download 2023 release
extract it somewhere you want
run drg_mod_integrator
press cog icon
press cog icon next to mod.io
click the blue OAuth Token text, this takes you to the mod.io page where you make a key
put the key in

then check the DRG folder is correct (should auto detect)

close settings, then put mod urls into the box
need to remove the #description part of the link to work

and then before pressing install mods, make sure you've put the -disablemodding launch option on the game on Steam

[twilit pulsar]

Is the game going to crash if I have mods installed through the mod loader like that tho? Because it does when I use the built in one

[covert rivet]

depends what mods if they are compatible with current version. even though most mods that are outdated still work just fine

personally I've ran over 130 mods at once with mint and dont get crashes from it. It's usually a mod that causes the crash

[winter charm]

Hi guys, I have a small question. Me and my friends want to play with a mod that combines all missions into one, but we can't find it. If you know, can you tell me the name, please?

[covert rivet]

i dont even know if that exists, having all mission types in one mission

[winter charm]

Well, I actually accidentally went to a guy, he had something like that. But from something similar, this guy has a video like that
https://youtu.be/bth3rf2ykvc?si=rwog7qm690bp_86S

[covert rivet]

Oh. That mod is massive content revise

They might be running it with more secondary objectives mod too. I dont really know much about MCR's settings

[bitter zodiac]

Hi everyone, can anyone recommend a guide on replacing textures on armor models?

[vocal dirge]

🔴 PSA REGARDING MINT 🔴

As of today, Mint doesn't allow you to add new mods anymore. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE UNINSTALL YOUR MODS until the issue is solved. You won't be able to restore your mods. Updating your cache seems to work.

pak files are still working.

Also do not uninstall your mods as we might be forced to only use paks and we need backups of popular mods
(edit: fixed for the time being)

[cunning helm]

guys

is there a mod which disables the singleplayer pings?

without excluding bosco in solo missions

i really wanna annoy the misison control during solo missions

[urban compass]

Works if you add the #<mod id here> after the mod URL.

[eternal oracle]

This should be fixed now

(this isnt like a command, people who know things about it said that it has been fixed)

[tiny holly]

anyone know a mod that i can use to play 4-player scaled missions/deep dives solo?

[oak oyster]

Hey guys. I'm messing around w/ sandbox utils. Is there a way I can position freecam and control dwarf aim? Looks like I can only control movement, shooting, ping, etc. But not actually aiming

[swift pike]

can't aim in freecam

[shell inlet]

you can (somewhat) but it requires interacting with a buildable like a sentry

[swift pike]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/hotkeys @west pebble

i have the equipment terminal bound to one of my number keys

so i can swap 1s before entering the pod if i forget to

[twilit pulsar]

Does anybody know where mint is located once you install it using exe and set it up?

[covert rivet]

@twilit pulsar
Exe is located where you extracted the zip. It doesnt put a new one anywhere

In terms of other files like cache and MINT-config, you can press the cog icon in MINT and there are buttons to those two locations

[twilit pulsar]

ohh so the exe file i use to acces mint menu?

i extracted the exe on my desktop

can i just put it elsewhere

[covert rivet]

Yes, drg_mod_intergrator.exe
I would put it in a folder yeah

[twilit pulsar]

k nice then tnx!

i also put -disablemodding in the steam launch options right?

to disable the ingame mod loader?

[covert rivet]

Yep

[twilit pulsar]

I have a question, for a more fov mod, do i need a more fov (fix) one aswell?

[covert rivet]

No, dont believe so. Comments say the fix one does the exact same thing, just has the tag updated @twilit pulsar

[twilit pulsar]

K tnx, I have it in mint anyway, but now the game works flawlessly!! When I transferred modding to mint

[covert rivet]

Nice!!

[cunning helm]

does anyone here know how do i "select a weapon" with custom viewmodel

[atomic badger]

Does anyone else have any problems with mods? All mine are gone for some reason.

[covert rivet]

If you are using the built in mod management, it is a bug and theres not been a clear solution yet

Of course, using a sideloader like MINT means you dont run into these issues @atomic badger

[covert rivet]

Mod description says you should use the mod "weapons in spacerig" to preview it

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/weapons-in-space-rig#description

[cunning helm]

aw right

[oak oyster]

What is the internal name for the oppressor? Or what name does it have in sandbox utils

[covert flume]

ED_Spider_Shieldtank iirc, something like that. If you search "shield" it should show up

[solemn root]

So, I want to ask, in the save menu in options, where is the blue (sandbox) tag supposed to be?

Like here

[dusty holly]

right next to the save name, written in blue

you really can't miss it if it's there

[solemn root]

As in, next to this, right

[dusty holly]

yes

[solemn root]

I want to idiot proof this for myself, sorry
Since I find myself frequently missing a lot of obvious things

[dusty holly]

well it's not there, which means your save isn't sandbox

[solemn root]

Thank you very much

[cunning helm]

uh guys

after i disable MCR and stuff my biome rotation is stuck

not sure why

kept getting this every rotation

nvm the SGG has "rotate on use?"

i gotta have to read the small letters modhub uses

[gray monolith]

Is that in game mod hub browser new? Between yesterday and now all my mods got disabled, which is how i found out about it

[covert rivet]

Yes it is new as of July @gray monolith

[noble iris]

im tryna mod my game, it keeps crashing with "Corrupt data dound, please verify installation". bear in mind it was fine yesterday

[covert rivet]

Verify game files on steam

[noble iris]

Ive already done that 4 times

[covert rivet]

Can you send a screenshot of the error?
Are you using a mod sideloader or the built in modding menu?

[noble iris]

built in

[noble iris]

stuck on this now

[covert rivet]

from other games that have the same error and use mod.io something is corrupted with your mod.io cache
i don't know where that resides, a google might show you where. it's something like %appdata%

[noble iris]

alright cheers

[bright sky]

does anyone know what button it is to open mod settings? like, the tweaks for existing mods, for example i am trying to use Massive Content Revise but i am pretty sure it makes corpses not despawn, a friend told me that there's some kind of setting i can toggle to turn that off but i dont even know how to begin to get there.. and that friend is currently offline now

im pretty sure there is some pop-up window that people use to edit some tweaks

[covert rivet]

modhub is one and that's opened with H
but Massive Content Revise is a different menu, pretty sure where you spawn in on the spacerig there is a dwarf on your left where you can change all the settings

[bright sky]

ohhhhh... that makes more sense..

yeah the corpses are really frustrating

[spring helm]

Anybody know a mod that allows you to increase the amount of an objective required? Such as more morkite or Dystrum?

[heady sleet]

I mean MCR (same mod as above convo) does this as one of its features, because they redid the multiplier setting, but if you mean specifically just more objective items, I'm not sure there's one for S5, the last one I saw was on S3 and is current day broken

[spring helm]

Yeah MCR multipliers only work for missions at the terminal missions instead of a custom mission, im tryna make a big ol challenge run with a bunch of side objectives and up to 6 dreadnaughts. Wanna go for like 500 morkite and 300 dystrum amongst other things too.

[heady sleet]

Custom Difficulty if it's still updated, might be your best bet (paired with More Secondaries mod)

You should be able to configurate both of them to the desired level

[halcyon summit]

Does anyone know of any mod that doesn't make me wait 2 to 3 business days to start a game?

[gray monolith]

Yeah every time i start my game my mods get disabled

[covert rivet]

unfortunately its been that way since the last hotfix

i'd suggest a mod sideloader like mint to avoid all the buggy issues with the update

[covert rivet]

do you mean the game to load itself, or while you're loading into the cave

[halcyon summit]

loading into the cave

[covert rivet]

are you using any mods at all to begin with
as unfortunately that is cave generation and if your pc is not the fastest this can be slow anyway

if you're joining other people then its also slow if your connection is not great + it has to load the cave from the host

[halcyon summit]

ok,in that case the problem is my PC

tnx

[scarlet kettle]

Hi I'm new to DRG modding

Is there a mod that makes it easier to see when my Engi turret is out of ammo?

I'm also new to Engi and I keep forgetting that my turret needs ammo and the indicator is just far too unnoticable amidst the chaos

[covert rivet]

There are quite a few alternative UI mods for all ammo indicators including engineer turret ammo, but I don't think there is a standalone one

You could try https://mod.io/g/drg/m/nexthud-for-ultra-wide-monitor1 it lets you move UI stuff around (its not just for ultrawide monitors anymore)

[timid zealot]

using nucleus coop unfornunately somehow disables the modio mods

[covert rivet]

wonder if its because you're technically offline when you're using it

[timid zealot]

idk tbh but im tryin to get them to both work at once

[covert rivet]

You could try using mod sideloader MINT as from what I understand there is only one instance of mod.io per game so if you launch two games only one would be able to read your local mod.io stuff.
Mint however makes a pak file in your game directory and so both games might load the same mods then

[timid zealot]

hmmm

now its to get the save file to work with nucleus cause its using a starting save and not my copy of my main

[cunning helm]

hey

does anyone here know how to insert multiple mods in mint

[swift pike]

putting them all in should work

with a line break between each i think, if you're transferring from the ingame modding system then a better modding menu does that when you copy list

[cunning helm]

can you

provide me with example format loll

someone said there must be spaces but idk really lol

im new to mint, very

[somber heart]

Does anyone know how to set the starting and ending points of the arc?

[swift pike]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/automatic-flare-cleanup
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/aichis-beer-selector

i've only ever added mods individually myself though

[tough gust]

Anyone else had issues with not being able to save mod changes since the info screen move? I can enable mods but they never get saved to the loadouts.

Or saved at all.

[cunning helm]

im having issues with mint

or is mod.io kinda funky rn

alot of my mods are loaded halfway

or just dont work at all

dated or outdated

[covert rivet]

if you have a lot of mods and you're using mint, it will timeout for 60 seconds after updating a few because it was made too strict with mod.io api limits

check the console window and you should see messages mentioning this

[cunning helm]

for some reason i made a newer profile

and literally one mod failed to download

:sog

i didnt see anything in console

[covert rivet]

does mint itself show an error in the bottom bar

[cunning helm]

nope

kinda just continue on

[covert rivet]

then what's showing that one mod isnt loading? in-game?

[cunning helm]

i downloaded Expanded mission map

that doesnt load at all

[covert rivet]

The mod loaded fine for me on mint, and has loaded in game as well

(the non-mutator version loads fine as well)

[austere bloom]

is there a mod that makes bits of ore less bouncy/scatter less?

[cunning helm]

i had to wait for like a bit

before it actually loads

not sure why

[woeful cipher]

what mods that spawn multiple elite bulk after calling drop pod on escort mission?

[cunning helm]

ok so another problem

rawr

uhhh

brighter objects (add-on)

barely loads

it used to work alongside MCR testing

and while using mint

it somehow doesnt work

only nitra that is changed

[covert rivet]

remove MCR and check if it works in vanilla
because MCR substantially changes a lot in the game
it should be compatible, but if not then you could mention this in the MCR discord

[cunning helm]

i played MCR testing and i suppose brighter object works

[covert rivet]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/the-great-escape is one

[cunning helm]

its only when i use mint if it didnt

glow

the only mineral that glow is literally just nitra, anything else doesnt load for some reason

^ the approved version

[covert rivet]

check you haven't accidentally disabled it in modhub, it has checkboxes for each material

[cunning helm]

yeh its on

[covert rivet]

i'd still check if it works when you turn mcr off in mint and try vanilla, as i also use brighter object addon and it works fine

[cunning helm]

ok

[covert rivet]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/remove-mineral-scatter-again

[cunning helm]

it works after i turn off MCR

but now i'll try using Mod.io

becuase i remember pairing it

[covert rivet]

MCR made an update recently to materials to make it compatible with one of my mods. it might be that its now broke with brighter object addon.
if its the case it works on vanilla but not mcr i'd mention it in MCR discord to banagement

[cunning helm]

im trying to use mod.io to pair MCR and Brighter Objects (add-on)

i just hope mint isnt really having a problem that i call "Loading barely anythin and calls it a day"

[covert rivet]

i doubt its mint doing that

[cunning helm]

honestly weird anomalies i encountered is

soldier voice for glyphid makes the enemy silent

karl class somewhat excludes scout

[covert rivet]

outdated mods are not guaranteed to work
karl class fix mod is nearly over 300 days old and there have been game updates since then, comments say it doesn't work

[cunning helm]

im using mod.io for this one

[shell inlet]

karl class doesnt work consistently due to how they are editing inventory lists in runtime

[cunning helm]

apparently the current test build works with brighter object

[shell inlet]

only somewhat as it ignores chosen settings, but next build it should work fine as i wont be replacing the debris and instead just edit the vanilla values that i need to change

[cunning helm]

strange how using mint didnt ignore it

its liek mod.io kinda made the brighter object load first

[shell inlet]

mint has different mod load times than official blueprint spawning, which causes issues with some blueprint mods depending on how they are coded

[cunning helm]

interesting

ig thats why the bright object works only on nitra if im using mint

[shell inlet]

otherwise mint is just the same as ye old patch file modding afaik, which was patched to disable multiplayer for drg

it just creates a pak for you with the mod queries and such

[cunning helm]

literally when using mod.io to load mcr + bright object the only issue is

dystrum is laced with gold

[high night]

is this a normal thing?
or only chinese guys do this crazy stupid stuff always on official servers?

[covert rivet]

there isn't "official" servers, people host and you've joined a modded lobby
there are lobbies like these across all areas not just china

[high night]

in first time seeing this
thanks

[covert rivet]

yeah can be annoying if you werent expecting it

[cunning helm]

i wish drg can add a non-modded lobby setting

so if you join random lobby, that setting allows the modded one to be excluded so you are likely to join vanilla

[covert rivet]

well with mod.io your lobbies are marked as modded if you are using approved/sandbox mods
but mint bypasses this and that's why you end up with the above, vanilla players joining chaotic modded lobbies without being told they are

[cunning helm]

its quite weird

the most modded stuff are instead of russia or china

im going to use mit's stuff now

that i know mint has its own way of loading

[austere bloom]

I am glad people are joining my qol games

[north furnace]

does anybody know if there's a mod that makes the boomstick a 1hander?

also, why did GSG do this? this has made my life harder because now i have to wait longer to use the mods i actually wanna use.

[cunning helm]

thats why people is moving to Mint

[north furnace]

mind helping me with that?

[cunning helm]

theres like a tutorial on youtube

if you have issues with some mods

that might be caused because mint is using a different way to load mods

[crystal compass]

whats the mod that welcomes players in chat as they join

[eternal oracle]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/motd-stattrack

[crystal compass]

ty

also, im using mint but my friend cant join as the game prompts him that he needs the mods

i thought mint doesn't do that

this is what he gets why's that?

figured it out

[crystal compass]

whats the mod with the command systems that also includes /heal command?

[covert rivet]

There are a few text commands mods but I dont know of any that have heal command

[bright sky]

i love audio mods

oh wait

i probably shouldve posted this in #modded-gallery oops :<

[hidden vessel]

How does bosco have 5 revives? Is that a thing?

[cunning helm]

no

you might be using limitedly better boscuh

[vocal latch]

hello I might have a good idea for a mod but I don't know how to code so if anyone wants to make it feel free to I just would like to see it in the game..
it's AutoThrow Flares but only the last charge once it charges so you always have flares in cooldown

[crisp flicker]

Does anyone remember the secret door between the forge and the deep dive terminals? If yes how can i get it again?

[warm sable]

pr sure its been updated out of that mod

it was a backer room

[crisp flicker]

can u elaborate?

and do u have any idea how i cAn still get it?

[warm sable]

it was for people who donated to him on kofi

[warm sable]

downgrade your mod to previous versions

[crisp flicker]

do u happen to know the mod and the version?

[warm sable]

nope sorry

i use mint

so i mass update all my mods every once in a while

[crisp flicker]

oh

[warm sable]

when i did it, it got rid of the backer room

[crisp flicker]

i think it was ssg frameworks

[warm sable]

my best guess is its either ssg or miracle

[crisp flicker]

ye ssg i think

but dont i need that for other stuff? like can i even downgrade that

[warm sable]

probably not

[crisp flicker]

sad but ty for help

[warm sable]

yeah

if i find something ill lyk tho

[crisp flicker]

ight bet 🫡

[crisp flicker]

@hearty shard sry for ping but uhmmm...

[fresh stump]

can people who mod stay the hell out of vanila every time somone who has mods joins my game my game crashes

[haughty patrol]

how do i get a mod installed i cant seem to find it so im not sure what to do exactly

[warm pulsar]

Identify the steam account and block it. They'll be banned from your game so long as they're blocked.

[covert rivet]

Pause your game
Go to modding tab
Press To Info Screen Button
Install mods there

[somber heart]

@shell inlet

Could you please have ModHub support Chinese?

@wintry fractal

[fervent salmon]

this sounds like more a problem with either the game itself or something on your end. also, how do you know its people with mods thats making your game crash?

[fresh stump]

Because i consistently see people with mos venues thst pop up in chat then my game closes and sends me back to base

[covert rivet]

with what that pops up in chat?

[steel solar]

I'm trying to install a mod that changes the songs used in the game

Does anyone know how to remove some specific songs from the mod?

[covert rivet]

You would have to unpak the mod, delete the songs, then repak the mod and use a sideloader like mint to use it in game

[steel solar]

I dont know how to do that

I'm about ready to give up on this

There's no up-to-date soundtrack changing mods for any game OSTs I like

[fresh stump]

the main one says that it causes red shugar to drop from loot bugs and every time i see that it says lost conection from host almost instantly afterwards not like im disconecting because i usualy have isues with terain not being mineable when im lagging out and the other few iv had were like old black ops 2 mod clients where they say a random user that created the mod client sry for not responding mich im a welder and work all day

[supple cipher]

Does anyone know any mod that is like particle removal?

The ones i have are outdated

[fervent salmon]

im confused, is the problem tht people are joining your lobby and making you crash or are you joining others lobbys and then crashing?

[fresh stump]

Mainly people joining me

[austere bloom]

Depends on which. The ones i use work fine

[hasty stone]

Hi All, I've recently started hosting large modded lobbies and when there's lots going on the game can start to lag - despite the RAM, CPU and GPU usage all being fairly low (25-60%). Does anyone know what could be causing this? I understand that it's going on when there's a lot of entities, which would be implying a bottleneck of some kind, but nothing seems to be under any particular load. 😔

I don't want anyone else to have a bad experience, but don't know what I can change to solve this. PC Specs: GPU: RTX 4080 Super, CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RAM: 32GB 6000MT/s, SSD: SN850X 4 TB M.2

[shell inlet]

Supposedly the bulk of the AI processes are done on a single CPU core in an async manner, so it just kind of overloads one part of the CPU instead of utilizing the rest.

I will be making a mod that helps a lot with performance loss from a lot of enemies, but that might not be for a while as I have other projects to prioritize. I have a rough draft of it and tested to know it helps a lot, so I know it is possible but I need to build more functionality and multiplayer support. It is unrelated to async stuff though.

As an alternative to most other difficulty altering mods, I have made a system that makes enemies smarter in a never before done manner (AKA no conflicts) that will make enemies lead your location and cut you off, spread out a lot more and keep escape routes sort of blocked off. They pretty often ambush you around corners and such now. It is way more difficult to survive even without more enemies or enemy buffs.

Said system is host only and no one else needs it, doesn't require custom AI or enemy replacements and such. Should be fully compatible with all mods. It is not released yet though.

[hasty stone]

that sounds pretty awesome, I'd love to give it a go - when do you think it'll be ready?

[shell inlet]

It will be debuting in my Massive Content Revise mod's 4.00 update, which will be releasing sometime this month.
As for a standalone mod, probably the first mod I release thereafter.

[unique nacelle]

Chat I just used a sandbox mod but didn't have to make a new save or anything

is my save file now permanently fucked or can I still get achievements (I alr disabled it)

[swift pike]

#modded-drg-chat message @fiery swallow this explains the categories, but nothing stops cheat mods from being created (usually they fall under sandbox), and nothing stops people from cheating outright

you can ban people from your lobby in the esc menu

[minor forge]

sure, i was just curious why i couldn't find other lobbies like when i used to play

thank you :)

[slender umbra]

Is there a way I can pull a sound effect or etc from one of my mods? In my case i wanna grab one of the lines from Mathew Kelly's kobold voice mod and add it to the soundboard for one of my discord servers

[uneven cape]

i know it can be done with FModel
kobold voice mod also has a youtube video with all the lines so you could clip it from that

[slender umbra]

What's FModel?

[uneven cape]

program available online that can open the file types used by Unreal Engine

[wintry pine]

anyone knows why DRGlib is deprecated? (maybe justa personal issue idk)

[covert rivet]

enable using outdated mods
many mods are outdated but they still work just fine on the current version

[ivory salmon]

Man, I just realized that I can't do weekly assignments while offline. Personally I'm pretty new to modding but I wondered if there was a mod that unlocked Weekly assignment while offline.

[covert rivet]

you can play modded while online?

[ivory salmon]

Hum... What's the point of playing modded online if the goal is to unlock weekly assignments while offline...

[covert rivet]

im not sure what you mean. you can play solo while connected online and use mods and play weekly assignments.

[ivory salmon]

Alright alright...

1. The game is offline when I don't have internet
2. Weekly assignments are impossible to start offline
3. I need a way to change that

I don't care about going solo. What I care about are the assignments

[fervent salmon]

like, at all? the game doesnt just like, have internal code for the weekly asignments? that sucks. its so great that this has been an issue since like, fable2 came out,(the games that are explicitly singleplayer/ have a singleplayer experiece that either lose core gameplay functions or just dont work at all without conecting to the internet first) can you play drg online at all? the best option might be booting it up online if you can once a week to start the weeklies then finishing them offline.... if thats actually allowed in game

[ivory salmon]

Nope. Seems like you need to be online so that DRG can verify you are not fiddling with the clock. This sure makes getting Oveclock acquisition a lot harder.

Oh, Daily deals are also blocked

And in my case, Deep Diving too.

I'll still need to test if I can continue the weekly assignments if I started it online tho...

[covert rivet]

there might be a mod way to do it, but i imagine it needs online access as you said for clock and the mission seeds

i've asked in modding discord because i'm curious too tbh, it does seem strange the game can't be played entirely offline

[ivory salmon]

How does mod creation works anyway? What do modders have access to?

[dusty holly]

you can play DRG offline, but daily deals, deep dives and weekly assignments are tied to servers on GSG ends

[covert rivet]

not much tbh. we don't have access to c++ code modding, only blueprints and hex edits (directly editing values in game assets)
so if you're talented like banagement you can make kind of insane stuff like massive content revise, but overall the modding for this game is very limited compared to other games imo

my guess is there is probably a flag to check if you are online, the logic might be able to be bypassed and allow you to put your own seed/time/whatever the online requirement is and then continue to play those assignments. i might look later into it, can't right now

[ivory salmon]

Thanks for the info anyway, this is pretty interesting.

I guess I'll just hope that GSG adds a mutator that rewards overclocks in some missions.

[slender umbra]

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the reason you need to be online for the dives/weeklies to update is because their missions are the same for the entire playerbase, and the game needs to be told by the server what those missions will be so that everybody has the same missions

[fervent salmon]

it doesnt need to though. drg isnt pvp. its not competitive in anyway that matters. there should be an offline version of weeklies and dives

hell, isnt there a set pool of seeds they pull from for the dives? why cant that be ingame?

[cunning helm]

anyoen know

what do i do with

cassettes in Miracle

where do i put it

[shell inlet]

in a slot in your cabin iirc

[cunning helm]

you really got a good memory of almost every mods lol

[hollow slate]

Hey, eh are there client side mods for visuals? for example having the explosion bugs look like banelings from SC2 or SC1?

[last basin]

I can fix all your problems

and lessen all the others i can’t fix

Add or @ me when you see this

[covert rivet]

🤔

[hasty stone]

I see this

[last basin]

dms :D

[last basin]

another satisified customer :3c

(joking, i do it for free)

[covert rivet]

what did you even do

install some malware?

download more ram?

[glacial escarp]

Uh... why are some of my mods borked?

[cloud shore]

can I somehow download it without ingame option? it doesn't work for me (error 20489)

[glacial escarp]

Ok so I found out why.

Turns out my mods needed to update but I was trying to join some friends at the same time.

[hasty stone]

💯

[hasty stone]

ran through a bunch of mods - and went through setting things up correctly to make things run as lag free as possible

stuff like reducing the number of entities through several mods whilst simultaneously increasing the number of bugs

[covert rivet]

use the sideloader MINT

[cloud shore]

xd?

why can't I just download it myself and put it into mods folder?

[covert rivet]

there isnt really a mods folder
well
its weird. you can put pak files in the game, but then your game is sandboxed. but if you use -disablemodding launch option, then it doesnt sandbox you anymore.
mint lets you install mods far easier than the in-game modding menu, and technically you can get the pak files that way

idk. i really wish i didnt have to recommend the sideloader, but recent updates have made in game one worse

[shell inlet]

there is a modio mods folder you can manually add mods to without issues but downloading the pak directly is an admin level permission on the modio site for some reason

[cloud shore]

extremely inconvenient, but it wasn't what I was asking
I was asking if I can download mod from the website by myself. But I guess I should ask it on mod.io forum or something

[cloud shore]

I see

😔

thanks

[covert rivet]

funnily enough the mod.io website lets you download older versions, with an invisible button next to the mod items in the changelog menu

definitely not intended

[covert rivet]

yeah aware, but the sideloader means you dont get these errors and you get the downloads

[cloud shore]

Erm. If I shoot myself in the foot by downloading something and putting it in mods folder it is my problem, I just don't understand why mod.io doesn't allow it but it there is no point in being mad about it (at least here)

[covert rivet]

think its a game by game basis so a decision by gsg

[cloud shore]

omw to become an admin

[cloud shore]

Oh.

[austere kiln]

i can't remember the name of the mod that restores the beta deposit points on refinery pipe connectors

would rather have that instead of personal mules on refinery

[covert rivet]

I know Massive content revise has that for one mission type, not sure about a standalone mod

I am looking for the mod that lets you apply a skin and framework to all six weapons in a loadout slot at the same time. Anyone know of it?

is there a mod that adds a useful indicator to drak heat? i just dont want to look at my down right all the time

alright found one

[carmine olive]

need some help

so my little brother is trying to join me for a nice game together but it shows the mod downloading and checking for dependencies screen and then immediately boots him out if he doesnt click the join button in time (tho its greyed out most of the time) any ideas to whats going on?

we have the same mods

[last basin]

mod.io being sucky

[carmine olive]

bruh

what

[last basin]

mind if you check your dms

[carmine olive]

ok

[zealous cipher]

already asked this in the modding discord and #drg-chat but
call me a dirty cheater and hate me all you want, but i dont want to grind all overclocks
is there any unlockall thingy?

[edgy fractal]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/sandbox-utilities#1897251

[zealous cipher]

ok where exactly is the unlock all thing mentioned earlier

[edgy fractal]

open modhub menu, find this mod, press "menus" and there will be "Open chat terminal"

[zealous cipher]

ohh thank you

and its cheat terminal

YES

[unborn nymph]

hey i've been hosting a server for over 2 hours now can someone join

i dont know how else to get ppl in on the fun

its modded so thats why im asking here

[covert rivet]

if you're using built in modding, it makes your lobby separate from other lobbies, and players have to manually check that they want to see these lobbies
so the visibility is quite low unfortunately

[austere bloom]

having mods on mint is a blessing

people love the reduced e holding mod

[gaunt haven]

whats the name of that mod that lets u see other player's mineral bags?

[fervent salmon]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/combined-resources#description

[gaunt haven]

thanks!

[last basin]

use MINT, make sure you dont have any mods tagged with "RequiredByAll"

[covert rivet]

you say that but quite a few requiredbyall mods work on mint without other clients needing them
because the tag doesnt mean anything if the mod creator didn't implement it correctly

[ebon mango]

does profanity booster still work

[unborn nymph]

i dont use mint and at this point im too petty to use it i might try it if people ask less
like i get hopeful that someone is joining my server to have fun but all they do is try to convince me to use mint and when i say no they leave like some door to door salesman

its very disapointing when i've been waiting in a map for hours and that happens

[unborn nymph]

this engi approves of that mod

also all i hear is "use mint" but idk what it is or how to use/get it

is it third party? is there any chance of malware if i download it off the internet? i dont even like mints its the flavor i hate the most, what is mint

[maiden abyss]

You are just shooting yourself in the foot hosting regular modded lobbies like that. Almost nobody plays them.Take the time to learn what it is before just shrugging it off. There's more info in the drg modding discord about it #fan-communities message

[unborn nymph]

thank youuuu i didnt know that existed

but also what is mint

i would like someone to tell me here or tell me where to find said info in that server or elsewhere

please

[maiden abyss]

A third party mod manager used by alot of players

[fervent salmon]

google "drg mint github" the first link should be the one you are looking for. it has a decent toturial and explination but if you need/want more feel free to shoot me a dm

[unborn nymph]

k

[fervent salmon]

also there #lfg-modded-steam. dont know if itll get more people to play with you but its a resource tht is there

[glacial escarp]

#drg-chat message

@twilit pulsar You can, it's called Cosmetic Restriction Remover.

is very nice, is verified.

[twilit pulsar]

I know

I used it

[glacial escarp]

Ah.

[twilit pulsar]

But it sucks when I used stock paintjobs

Nobody sees those

But you can use back blades on the front and everybody sees those

But you can use other framework's paintjobs on any other framework and people are going to see it

[last basin]

I get you’re tired of not getting players, but quite literally mint is the solution to that as people dont like to download mods for every game they join and it doesn’t work sometimes
But the door to door salesman thing is annoying i can see, i do it sometimes myself but i always offer to actually walk them through it step by step

[covert rivet]

also modding and this game is a lot quieter than it used to be 1-2 years ago

so its just an unfortunate time to be hosting these lobbies

[dense oasis]

Hello Just got this game on Steam. I normally wait to beat a game the first time before modding it, but this isn't really the type of game you can beat. I checked Nexus and there was practically no mods there, so I was wondering where I can find mods for DRG.

[covert rivet]

They are all on mod.io
You can do modding all in game. Pause the game in spacerig, go to Modding tab, then go to Info Screen button. Then you can browse and subscribe to mods.
@dense oasis

[dense oasis]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[last basin]

Best way to combat it is to have regulars

I get like a guaranteed 10~ people on my more player servers without any randoms

so i can get 20-24 players even on a monday

but i wad lucky enough to host modded lobbies like a year and a half ago

when the game was more popular

[slow panther]

Why can't I install mods from the game? I haven't played in a very long time, a very long time, and I can't install mods.

[fallen ravine]

wtf is going on with mods on this game

its like the game takes over what i can do with my mods, and when i use the integrated mods browser, i can't exit it every second time

then every third time i open mod menu i have to agree to privacy all over again

the previous way to maange mods was far better imo

[covert rivet]

it is more broken than it was before. it's very unfortunate
others here (and myself) would suggest using the sideloader mint if you're wanting to have a better way of managing mods

[slow panther]

Why did they decide to change the way mods are used?

[heady sleet]

Are there sandbox modded lobby’s in drg multiplayer?

If so how do I find them.

[covert rivet]

i dont know. all i know is, they made the changes, did some fixes which didn't really do much, and then haven't done anything more

[covert rivet]

server browser should have the option to show modded lobbies and show sandbox lobbies

[heady sleet]

Thanks dude!

[slow panther]

In short: the update isn't about skins, but the developers have crab claws, so they decided to hit the top two reasons to play the game

[fervent salmon]

from what ive read, from what i consider a reliable source, that being banagment, the modding part of drg is being worked on by basically an intern that volunteered to do it. they started working on it, had a stable implementation, some things got changed? intern went on vacation. theres a better intergrated modding update coming, we just gotta wait for it
(this is just what i remember from reading discord posts like 3 months ago, trying to find the actual post. dont quote me on this)

[covert rivet]

pretty sure those are the changes that have come and gone already.

[shell inlet]

They are (minus the drastic rewriting), but much less broken.

[fervent salmon]

i see

@wraith rover

i got a question

Do the generated missions bug out the matchmaking system

like when i use mission generator

it says i have no mission selected when people try to join

they still can join, but it says i am still in the space rig while displaying the mission timer

does this mod have this problem as well? Or did you find a fix/work around?

[wraith rover]

Honestly that’s a good question. I haven’t really tested through the lobby browser yet. We did a lot of testing with multiple players to make sure it worked but that’s a particular thing I haven’t tried yet since all testers joined through steam

[last basin]

ah damn if you responded 10 minutes earlier i couldve tested it XD

just got off

ill test it for you tomorrow

[wraith rover]

Honestly I appreciate it 🙂 any additional testing is always appreciated 🙂

[uneven harbor]

im trying to join modded server and it keeps automatically closing the page that show the mods how do i fix it

[last basin]

unfortunatly mod.io sucks

it just does that sometimes

[marsh prism]

So I'm an achievement hunter and have like 5 left to finish the game and i want some maybe approved mods so will they affect me getting achievements?

I really want to have all secondary objectives, and maybe some way to have difficulty+ modifiers. Hope they are not sandbox ones

[warm pulsar]

Turn the approved ones off when you go for the achievements then turn them back on when you have them.

[covert rivet]

You can not unlock achievements while playing with Approved Mods enabled.
https://mod.io/g/drg/r/mod-guidelines-and-status-categories
Of course, this can all be bypassed with the mod sideloader. Entirely up to you how you want to play the game imo

[marsh prism]

I'm yet to do 500 missions achievements. Will the approved count towards it?

[covert rivet]

Yes pretty sure approved/sandbox disables you getting any achievements

[last basin]

no

if you want i can help you set up the sideloader

[marsh prism]

Sideloader enables them back?

[marsh prism]

I just wonder if this is enough

[covert rivet]

Yes you can just disable the approved mods and you should be able to get achievements again. Pretty sure to confirm you won't have (modded) by your username at the top right.

[marsh prism]

Thank you

[last basin]

yes it does

and you get to keep your mods

[marsh prism]

The other problem is that I've got not much of a good pc so it can struggle to give more than 5-10 fps during big swarms/lithophages/core stones so I'm not that much sure for now

[last basin]

then you're in luck

the sideloader runs better than mod.io

also i have alot of FPS mods i can give you

[last basin]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/pettable-dwarfs#description

[marsh prism]

I have:
Remove all particles but weaponstools
Remove flares
Remove decals
Simplier azure weald and hollow bough
Better post processing
No ragdolls
Classy tools
Clutter be gone
Low poly model enemies

So the main problem is actually core stones and lithophages. And running haz5+ or haz5 salvage

I'm trying to put together a mod-pack for DRG for me and my friends. The pack have some mods for the detonator, and now I wanna playtest it to c if it something my friend will have fun playing with. Any tips on triggering one to spawn? I am aver of the 3% spawn rate.
is the only way to just play allot of missions? or is there anything I can do so I don't have to grind 50 missions?

[covert rivet]

Use a mod like Spawn Menu, Mission Director, or Sandbox utilities to manually spawn one in

[jagged yew]

I will try that. thank u

i think i used to use this one

but nexthud seems newly updated

ill try that and see how it goes

huh

im a bit late to the party but there seemed to be a bit of drama in the modding scene

[covert rivet]

always is and its unfortunate, because not many modders are left anymore and the game devs aren't really providing further support with

[clever peak]

whats up with gabe though?

[covert rivet]

I dont really want to or feel like it should be discussed here. You've probably seen their comments on the performance mod.

I think there is a level of maturity id expect from both community and leaders within modding and its been failed time and time again, its put me off from continuing to make mods and I just wish there was a resolution and things could move on

there are two sides to the story and I think mistakes were made on both. you can look into it if you want but just bare in mind there is bias on both sides. I decided to try and not take a side and treat it as something that happened, but its been brought back up again, and not in the nicest way

[clever peak]

i see i see

im obviously not involved in the scene so, i dont think it would make a difference if im informed about everything or not

the nexthud mod works great by the way

[covert rivet]

yeah its probably better to just not be involved with it lol. I tried not to be, see where that ended up haha

[gloomy iron]

is there any mod that lets you buy a whole squad's worth of beer even if you're only in the space rig alone?

[weak goblet]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/spiralling-drillevator#description

it makes the drillvator a lot more fun because you can just hop off the elevator to actually fight bugs and not shoot them in a barrel. The problem I have with it, is that I'm too busy shooting bugs and running around that the clawtracks break and I have to run back. It also messes with the bug AI so if you just sit on the elevator it's actually easier to defend than normal. That is solved with Haz5+ speed additions. But if you don't want to deal with Haz5+ just hop off the drillvator
