I had like 7 at one point
late basalt
But it fit the gameplay. Ie why they kept it later
I had 3 on my complete run, but later runs with 7+^
fallow canyon
Was this patched?
stone vine
Mhm
stone vine
Yes we also had the glitch where alarm wouldn’t stop
Like when u put baby in
And it just kept spawning waves
stone vine
Yeah that’s how we lost like 10 runs
Dumb glitches
Having to restart
D1 is fun now tho, error alarm atleast
Rest is too boring
late basalt
Enough with that shit emote
Also D1 is tolerable with a decent team
I just dislike it
stone vine
Eh if anything I’ve made a base of discussion for the chat
And I’ve provided tons of cited evidence when explaining scientifically probable events
So, yes, real lore
And if you want gun lore just talk to derri, we had a gun lore convo yestarday
late basalt
Again. Shut it with that emote
stone vine
Oh, thought I was blocked?
late basalt
Also. There isn’t any real gun lore
I’m not talking the interview where they used to have scavenged weapons
stone vine
Well that’s the issue you say you want lore but you aren’t willing to find it
Go do research
late basalt
That was the old models with the old intentions
And u are. I have to click on anything you send
The current guns don’t have any lore/ backstory to them
stone vine
Well I’m not gonna stop with the emote
late basalt
Just the old pre alpha stuff, before they changed design directions
late basalt
Well ye, maybe company commercials. Hmm
stone vine
I can tell you know I’ve looked abt five minutes into guns and managed to make a few speculations
just like look
stone vine
Alright we’ll look for company lore mainly then and you can start drawing guns into the picture
Well
Not we’ll
late basalt
And have you found it
stone vine
Well I did see omneco made both the HEL guns and some sort of toxic gas correct, which would mean they are mainly involved in containment I assume
The gas is listed as deadly instead of being just toxic
late basalt
Yeah, they have a background in gas technology
Ie why their guns use a light gas system
I’ve noticed
stone vine
Yes
That’s just an example
Look for more
Like that
I haven’t looked into it but if you want answers you have to dig
late basalt
I’m more talking like, Techman (spelled idk) Malatack, etc
stone vine
alright
late basalt
The backstory to why they are designed, military use, etc
Where the companies originate
Stuff like that
stone vine
Well malatack did make the burst rifle and assault rifle right
late basalt
Yeah
You got Techman with the MG’s
Konig with the sniper
Rafficus (can’t spell) with the MP
Etc
stone vine
Alright so that means each of em have their own area of expertise which could possibly make them have separate duties in the complex
Similar to omneco
Guns might be a spring off of their main area of speciality
I do wonder how much they have though
How much fire power and what it’s used to contain
late basalt
Well like I can assume Konig originated from Germany based on the spelling
stone vine
Mhm
They have a lot of companies under them
Swntonian
San
Probably lots and lots more
Can’t wait to see em
stone vine
I do think that Dreyfus hired Santonian because they are an investment company, it takes all the work off of Dreyfus
Allows them to hire everyone and take care of decisions
Maybe even be used as a cover up who knows
late basalt
Yeah
But my assumption is that either: Dreyfus owns the gun companies or contacted them
stone vine
True Dreyfus could have bought them all, santonian is most likely in charge of contracting the big time suppliers
To continue the main operation
late basalt
Yeah
fair lion
Raptus traffen?
fair bridge
Each platform has it's manufacturer yeah
The turret even has a manufacturer, Mechatronics
Which amusingly is a real world current day manufacturer
I think
I've seen it around at any rate
late basalt
Well
Thing is they pair with gun companies
Malatac made the burst sentry part while whoever made the pump made the SS part
They are modified off the original firearm
The burst just has a new lower. Ie the sentry
While the pump shotgun has been heavily modified but retained the core elements of the firearm
late basalt
No
late basalt
Quit it
late basalt
Keep it to your pms with sev
late basalt
And you wonder why I blocked you
lilac island
Sentry feels like it was once a fire-suppression-system.
lilac island
Based on how it sits, swivels and the way it looks
late basalt
But at the same time, it built specifically for these platforms
lilac island
It looks like it was meant to hold water, extinguisher fluid, ectra.
Which is why I think it was a fire suppression system
Or, a coolent system for mining equipment.
late basalt
Hmm. I doubt it tbh
lilac island
Set it up, let the drill go, and blast it with water
late basalt
More crowd control. For the company
lilac island
Then, yes, making them fire suppression would have made sense
At least, for a time.
If I see another variant of the Sentry maybe I can guess better but the looks alone give me the impression it was used to cool drills and such.
UNTIL SOMEONE gives me the lore folder I need, I can't really pin-down what any of these companies do as a main source of income aside from just existing and working with one another.
stone vine
Eh now that Ive been blocked I don’t feel obliged to, sorry 😉 ❤️
Facts are on the wiki
upbeat frost
what are mines for?
If the lasers are that visible what's the point of using it in the military?
lilac island
That's more for gameplay.
stone vine
Yeah
lilac island
That, and, lasers are visible in dusty/foggy areas, or areas that are covered with some opaque thing.
From what I can tell mines were probably at one point, I know this is a stretch, but.
They used them to blow tunnels and sections up in a controlled way.
crazy i know
doesnt feel obliged too
led me along all week and more
bud i gave up hoping after like, the second "yeah i forgot"
lilac island
Mining at first, later given a laser trip to operate as area control.
Psure they were remote detonators at one point.
The way the mine looks, doesn't look at all like a shaped charge either.
late basalt
Well
lilac island
It's just a disk of whatever exposives they're using, and since the MCFC is a Hydrogen Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell.
late basalt
A slight shaped charge
lilac island
I can assume we may have something more than just gunpowder.
late basalt
More directed explosion
lilac island
True, they do fire outward like a Claymore.
lilac island
Yeah, the shape gives me the impression it was at one point used for an AOE.
Now it seems directed.
The disk design itself screams this is used to blow up an area, not a single small thing in a direction.
late basalt
Yeah
lilac island
Even the C-foam grenade looks like it had a purpose in salvage and operations.
late basalt
Keeping tunnels structurally stable/ riot
lilac island
Yup.
Just have like 50 on you at all times, throw them at walls and doors and other pillars that need a quick reinforcement before maintenance gets here
Kinda reminds me of the foam used in that one movie. About the cannibals in Scotland and shit.
They dropped one in an elevator and while it was going down, once it expanded it hardened up and cushioned the blow
late basalt
Mhm
lilac island
the only thing that i know for a fact has its roots in mining, is that one fucking thing.
The item that takes a picture of a room beyond and maps it out in a holographic projection.
Would literally be a god-send to miners and prospectors alike.
Or fucking anyone looking to dig a hole.
lilac island
Ye
orchid bramble
hey so what lore we can figure out?
glacial solstice
its actually dumb not to have grenades
flat halo
why
glacial solstice
if the prisoners are so smart and coordinated
- they made some guns out of some drilling machinery
they atleast have that much knowledge or "common sense" to have grenades
late basalt
no
flat halo
Well yeah it kinda makes sense lore wise that they would have grenades but it would be stupid gameplay wise to have grenades in game
late basalt
Grenades make wave clearing ez, which is why they wont come to the game
glacial solstice
yeah i get it
but lore wise its dumb
we can have grenades like one time use and scavangable like trip mines and would only take out like 3 guys
late basalt
unless they really dont know how
stone vine
lol rip refinery
late basalt
no more so than gunshots, mostly they are much quieter
as i have used them
oh yeah
they pose a large threat to structural integrity of the facility
late basalt
yep
real cedar
Same reason why there's no flamethrowers :)) I mean...imagine having that against that enemy type, or just any alarm door basically .
lilac island
I want it because fuck yeah
I just wanna vibe
Reason why i want a fucking double barrel
Its impractical as fuck in this setting and how the enemies work
But fuck it.
Break action got me like.
waxen granite
A flamethrow could work if the lit enemies could damage you if they touch you while on fire. It could be low damage but constant (sorta liek how infection is a constant drain on max health to a degree, the fire could slowly drain their health). Or it could be high damage but use a lot of ammo/tool making it very inefficient except for in scenarios which you are being swarmed. Either of these cases could work.
late basalt
no flamys
flat halo
Its called a medipack
late basalt
^
flat halo
If they added a tool that heals they would need to drastically reduce the amount of medipacks
flat halo
^ thats the right way to go
flat halo
That is true, mines are pretty similar to grenades except you place them instead of throwing them
old jungle
So question me and my crew started gtfo bout 2 weeks ago we are in love with the game my question is how can we learn the lore stuff from past run downs if they are replace with each new run down
plain sable
You can’t yet
plain sable
There is a community made document that about sums it up though, might be pinned
flat halo
Look at the wiki
plain sable
Might be a nice feature to suggest, a recap of the purpose of each rundown mission for future context
flat halo
There was not much lore in Rundown 1 and 2 but there is a recap of the plot of those two on there
Along with the logs from Rundown 2
old jungle
Hmm qhere can i find these logs or wiki on phone at the moment
plain sable
Still it would be nice to know that most of rundown 1 was about gaining access to rundown 2
old jungle
God this is such a strange way to approach a game but god damn i absolutely love it
plain sable
Like turning on power and gathering ID cards
flat halo
Ya R1 was literally just getting to R2
late basalt
and R2 to R3
plain sable
R1 is finding the daycare, R2 is finding the baby and R3 is, feeding the baby?
lilac island
Waking the baby*
All of R3 is about waking this child up and getting his HSU back up to par.
upbeat frost
So the machine in A1 puts the baby in the HSU?
plain sable
Fixes it I think, refuels it?

opaque forum
At first it looks like it was a normal mining operations until they found something, after that it became a secret researching station under the premise of only mining. After some time of searching the outbreak happened and the complex collapsed
Bringing us to now
stone vine
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t just outbreak that caused the collapse of the complex, something else must’ve done critical damage, most likely baby Cthulhu
coral quest
they would've needed a lot of strength to cause that damage
that's why chimps are the most likely candidates for the fungus breeding program
easy to control and very strong and fast
lilac island
Pretty sure we can deduce at this point this whole mining operation was a cover from day 1.
Iridium mining may be something people need, but it's the perfect cover for red-tape covered experimentation and weapon testing.
And what better than fucking miles underground from the center of a crater that made the dinos pack it in.
lilac island
Psure they both happened at the same time
opaque forum
Everything after the outbreak is caused from what ever happened before until the eventual collapse of the complex
Nope
lilac island
Explain how an outbreak like this wouldn't cause the immediate collapse of the complex as a whole.
opaque forum
Outbreak happened then a quick succession until the announcement of retreat
lilac island
I doubt that.
Retreat came around an hour or so into this outbreak if it occurred the way I think
They would have worked their way up from E, or where-ever the prime mother was.
Eventually destroying and rampaging through freely open doors and no security personnel to speak off, aside from the emails who mention they're there.
We can assume, since not a single shot kills them, security went for body shots/center of mass as your basic training would tell you, meaning these fuckers did NOT stop.
Security would dump a clip into one only for four or five more to skitter up and devour them.
Retreat comes after riot suppression/response teams from the armoury levels can't handle it
Lock the doors, hope they hold.
opaque forum
I wonder what type of sleeper doesnt fall when you shoot them multiple times in the spot it counts.
stone vine
Mothers don’t
lilac island
Sleepers take 4 to the head, 5 or more to the body
stone vine
Big guys don’t
lilac island
Assume security have pistols
They're fucked.
At most SMGs
If they had rifles and proper heavy weapons, standoffs could be made at junctions easily.
Problem is far more of them than us, and ammo is not plentiful.
stone vine
Well they would have people with proper guns, but it’s not enough to contain the initial outbreak
lilac island
So once guns went try, it was down to bashing them to death.
stone vine
The amount of sleepers being sent out by Cthulhu would have been way to many
lilac island
Not even close, you don't have enough men and bullets to cover the avenues they would have used
We're assuming they dont use vents to get around faster either like they really should.
Security was done in an hour.
Personnel, trickled after.
stone vine
Yeah they were fucked
opaque forum
They may have not known about the vents or a way to get in/out
lilac island
The place was locked from the outside.
This is why i think the finger thing is real
stone vine
Anything goes wrong they aren’t even able to leave, no one can leave with that info
lilac island
Facility personnel broke their fingers and nails trying to claw out of doors
And the sleepers did the same.
Assuming it was the best way.
no fingies
I will not say anything about the sleepers in tanks because EA means they could be changed in an instant.
And those models could get replaced.
stone vine
Eh I think it has to do with transformation but the theory is plausible
stone vine
Once r4 hits I’m gonna lick every piece of ground
stone vine
Oh yeah it’s hot
opaque forum
Your theories, even the dumb ones, can make sense with how many facts you put in Bish
And you have a lot of theories that make sense
stone vine
They have quite a few gaps but by making so many inferences I have chances to make changes
So by making all these theories I can play a game of true or false in r4
and then continue to add on after that
opaque forum
Since the plant-human theory is “proven” to be true im sticking on trying to prove Key theory.
opaque forum
Information!
Being stuck in the center of a war against Baby Cthulhu’s sleepers and The Warden’s prisoners is a great story to be apart of.
stone vine
I like it
In a way it’s almost like the sleepers are us
Warden being baby Cthulhu
And the sleepers being prisoners
opaque forum
Both sides reflect each other
stone vine
Mhm
opaque forum
And each side makes sure the other can’t advance.
stone vine
It’s like 2 sides of the story
lilac island
release will show us moooooore
It's an eternal war.
That no matter who wins, they lose.
stone vine
Well either warden is gonna win and unleash hell
lilac island
We just learn how to kill each other more efficiently each time
lilac island
Considering the size of this place
and the fact they send multiple teams down
At at time.
god, imagine the last stand.
opaque forum
Baby Cthulhu sends teams up as well
stone vine
Exactly
opaque forum
To have them try to escape
lilac island
They can't , they try, but can't.
stone vine
It’s like we’re opposites but exactly the same
lilac island
Same reason we can't go forward, keycards.
stone vine
We’re going down, they’re going up
lilac island
But, once we extract. .
All those doors we left open. . .
On the way out. .
All those security doors they cant break now open.
Mmmmm..
stone vine
Allow for a way out
opaque forum
After we leave they advance and we have to go back down
lilac island
No, we leave they come back up
stone vine
We know for a fact they wouldn’t
stone vine
Go even farther up
lilac island
We're invaders and we are not the apex predators down here.
stone vine
They will be sent up eventually
lilac island
I wanna know their habitat.
opaque forum
It should be like the fog but more biomassy
lilac island
I remember someone had a theory about what their chemical composition was.
stone vine
I think next rundown plants are gonna be a key lore detail
The sleepers had something big with plants
lilac island
Well, yeah.
Do you know how much fucking iridium is in them?
The fucking things aren't from this planet.
stone vine
Mhm but we might see more natural habitat
opaque forum
Im thinking some sort of balancing agent
lilac island
Asteroids dont have that much.
stone vine
I found one with 28
lilac island
Exactly.
Thats fucking MASSIVE Iridium.
Do you know how much money this place is worth?
Priceless.
This mine is 100% priceless with the quantity of Iridium that can be found and if if it's also in the sleepers
opaque forum
Not worth the risk
lilac island
28ppm
To you, no, to me and the world? Oh fuck.
That mine is worth more than the planet, essentially at this point.
With how fast and the quantity of Iridium seeming to naturally form on shit.
We would have the largest constant supplier of high-grade Iridium with the only problem being the esoteric lovecraftian frogs that guard it
Plus this is 2050
We don't know the current economic state, either.
On the metal world I have learned through the British chemist S. Tennatu which it opened in 1803. Currently, it spent about a ton of iridium annually. Its supplier is in South Africa – this is where concentrated field. One gram of the isotope is estimated at about $ 20.
The Iridium in this mine is very, very pure.
its worth the risk.
stone vine
Well Dreyfus
lilac island
fund companies this much to supply the needed materials for this place
cover up human death
cover up experimentation
cover up the facility as a fucking whole, so far as we know.
lilac island
That's so wrong but also sorta true.
stone vine
Eh not exactly wrong, we know they own everything basically
lilac island
Wrong because the company will still need to ad-hear to the wishes of the people if it wants to remain ontop, shady shit won't fly.
Just because they own or operate in everything doesn't meant they directly oversee
Tencent holds quite a bit and you barely hear about them.
stone vine
I mean they still have to hide it, yes
lilac island
Other companies can handle PR.
R4 hopefully can give us more company emails
so i can guess who does what better
and where they're operating out of it
stone vine
mhm
proper topaz
fff damn
storm patrol
I don’t think so but it’s not impossible
upbeat frost
Y don't they just bomb the complex
solar nova
1, it's underground and explosions would probably have a very limited effect on the complex.
2, this would probably destroy or render inaccessible whatever the Warden is after in the complex.
stone vine
Warden is after something specific
if warden just bombed the place that thing wouldnt be obtainable
as rayalot stated
i dont think warden wants to destroy sleepers and the complex
opaque forum
We are just trying to get information on how to get lower and complete the objectives to get lower.
lilac island
Iridium got me like
frail pollen
What if the wardens friend got lost down there and is trying to find and bring them back, but doesn't know where they are so they are trying to conserve resources. They then learn there's this, whatever it is, the enemies so is having us bring samples back to study and understand it
stone vine
wardens friend do be dead tho
lilac island
Bro that'd have me in tears
If this was unironically a big op just to rescue his fren
stone vine
well warden seems to really like their* friend then
lilac island
still Iridium plants with a 50ppm got me like mmmm trillion dollar plant
stone vine
seeing as warden* sends a bunch of people to their deaths
frail pollen
Now let me ask you. Am I spilling secrets? Do you trust what I say? hmmm
lilac island
The purity of the Iridium down here is literally insane.
If you lie to me, D0c.
The pizza will stop flowing.
frail pollen
What pizza
stone vine
lilac island
Nek0 will have the pizza.

Oh yeah guys i havent seen many people bring this up, but Santonian means Crateceous and thats the age of dinosaur that was wiped out by the meteor in Chixculub

late basalt
frail pollen
I would have if bish didn't fail the game the other day
lilac island
bish you're the reason we cant have nice things
stone vine
you arent wrong
lilac island
are these lore too?
late basalt
no
stone vine
Oh yeah @lilac island apparantly the meteor had 13000 calculated iridium ppm, but ill have to do some more research to be 100% sure
So its pretty reasonable why each of these contain so much
lilac island
To have them bond.
stone vine
Also, I have something to add as "evidence" for my theory about the fungus
Mycorrhizae are the mutually beneficial symbiotic association between roots of vascular plants and fungi. A well-accepted theory proposes that fungi were instrumental in the evolution of the root system in plants
So, moss, like many other plants don't use roots to grow, so in favor they form Mutualistic relationships with fungi. I specifically find that Mycorrhizae looks similar to some of the things I've seen on the biomass in C1.
It looks like roots or some kind of strange surface covering it.
Moss can't exactly take hold of humans on its own, so using the fungi it would be able to connect to them via whatever the intestine like thing is. (probably intestine) From there it digs roots into the patient and starts the process of transformation.
Yet, of course even with this root based system the moss itself needs a way to survive, it needs moisture.
Well look no further my friends than the huge fucking thing that is C1 biomass.
stone vine
o-o warden thats a lot of iridium
yes but warden this is pure iridium
and if thats not enough for you, studies have shown an extreme surplus in iridium in not only the meteor, but the crater itself
meaning
13000 is not all
opaque forum
There’s more
stone vine
only a small chunk
opaque forum
Jesus this sounds like Marvel’s Wakanda
stone vine
I mean they are funded by Dreyfus
in the first place
thats shit loads of money, billions
opaque forum
Santonian got the good suppliers
stone vine
I think Dreyfus is lazy and hired santonian for that shit
Basically Dreyfus> Santonian> everyone else
opaque forum
us players
stone vine
If the case was Santonian was the all mighty superior then the Truth AM log would probably focus on them
not Dreyfus
opaque forum
And didn’t dreyfus assign The Warden to the complex too?
stone vine
Also Warden about the 13000 ppm, the normal amount in earths crust is 0.001
that is
a fucking huge amount
and as it is you can obly buy 99.95% pure iridium at around 4k minimum
100% pure iridium would be a lot more than that amount
for a tiny piece
imagine that x13000
opaque forum
Pure anything is expensive
opaque forum
And you have to base it on weight and karot
So pure iridium will be worth it even if you only can break the top layer
stone vine
so basically from what we can infer
around like 5 trillion dollars
just from the meteor
and take into account, the iridium isnt only in the meteor, it is everywhere in the crater in quite a large amount
so basically this could range from 5-50 trillion dollars maybe even more
stone vine
yeah i looked, pure iridium is unmarketable though so
we have to make due with 99.95
and then multiply that by a reasonable amount in worth
.5 is a huge difference
opaque forum
And every little bit more brings the price up exponentially.
stone vine
yes they are basically rich enough to do anything
and also take into account
that the biomasses themselves
can have up to 40+ ppm
thats another billion lots
opaque forum
$1,645 US for one troy oz of iridium.
Selling it would earn less than buying
So logically guessing (not estimating) the price should be around $1500 US for 1 troy oz for a normal bit. Pure would be around $2k-$2.5k US with selling while buying would be around $3k
Just for 1 troy oz.
stone vine
1 troy oz is like 3 ppm right
opaque forum
How heavy did they predict the meteor to be?
stone vine
1.0×1015 and 4.6×1017 kg,
opaque forum
1 ppm equals 0.029167 troy ounces per short ton.
Took that off the internet word by word
opaque forum
Apparently not
opaque forum
Ok. Equation time
stone vine
Alright ill do it aswell and then we compare answers ig?
opaque forum
So while 1 ppm equals 0.029167 troy oz can direct the troy oz to weight in grams
Ah god math
Alright
stone vine
ive got 11700 grams or 376.16373 troy oz for the 13000 ppm i need to factor in weight now and price
opaque forum
Jesus man what are you using
opaque forum
Im trying to use google calculator but im getting undefined for being to big of a number
stone vine
let me finish rq then ill show you my explanation
not that good at this so it might not be the 100% best result
it is minimum 1 quadrillion kgs
holy shit
opaque forum
((4.6x1017*1000)/31.1035)/0.029167 this is what im doing for weight to ppm for the big one.
stone vine
alright pog
opaque forum
Put that in
Wait shit
Equation bad
The first number you have to multiply buy 1k
Then you divide
opaque forum
Did you multiply the first number by 1k?
stone vine
im using a diff equation
opaque forum
Ah
stone vine
yeah
opaque forum
Is your answer based on the first tiny one or the second bigger one?
stone vine
here ill just say what i did
wait one second i need to double check something
Ok 1st i converted the troy oz equivalent of ppm into grams which we get .9 grams, multiply by 13k to get the 11700
wait thats uneccasarry
opaque forum
I understand
stone vine
yeah
also care
we should be using the minimum not maximum so change it to 1.0e1015*
we need to go with an assured amount
opaque forum
It’s interchangeable so do what you want
stone vine
yeah just the smaller one is more reliable
opaque forum
Dont use the e though in the equation
stone vine
oh yeah i know
opaque forum
I only used it as a marker
opaque forum
Kg to grams
stone vine
gotchaaa
opaque forum
I compared troy oz to grams as it is much easier with a number bigger than 1 to divide. That is my reasoning.
stone vine
alright 1.1022979e+20
opaque forum
Holy fuck
opaque forum
That is how much ppm there is
stone vine
yes
opaque forum
Or where should I look
opaque forum
Thank you
stone vine
anyways lets just use it as a base we can refine this all at a later date
and get much more exact answers
that is 22.59 grams
for around 4k
so 4000/22.59
177 dollars a gram
.9 of a gram is 1 ppm
opaque forum
Omg
opaque forum
Holy shit that
tame goblet
are you trying to calculate the cost of Iridium in the crater? Giving the companies a reason to dig there?
stone vine
yeah
opaque forum
Im crying
opaque forum
Im literally crying
stone vine
meaning shit loads more we can figure out at another time when im not falling asleep kekw
opaque forum
What would they do with that much!
stone vine
idk run an underground facility
kekw
and heads up(these results even if the math is 100% correct are 100% wrong)
because in 2050
who knows what iridium would be worth
stone vine
send it here
tame goblet
Pretty sure Iridium is already rare so inflation would be in the negatives since it would be in high demand?
stone vine
but that depends
tame goblet
they could charge whatever they wanted.
stone vine
maybe someone finds a jackpot thats easily accesible
space exploration
etc etc
so there is really no way to 100% tell
but atm that much iridium is worth
bucket loads
1.9510673e+22
opaque forum

the iridium shared around the whole crater right? And it's spread out 150km in diameter and 20km in depth. Gonna cost a lot to find it all. The complex is probably only a couple km across.

Unless that the complex is just a side station.
We dont know what they are actually doing.
All we know is that they mined, they found, and they died.
opaque forum
We could buy the moon
opaque forum
Lets not talk about the 1% anymore. We became the 1%
stone vine
fuck youre right warden
thats too little money
the fact i just did that and havent even started my actual math homework is funny
opaque forum
This is more important
And this is a warmup
Everyone needs warmups
And now that crater scares me. The peninsula will be even worse.
stone vine
also if you want to know how much in profit terms
opaque forum
Im saying not even .0000001% has been reached in price.
stone vine
the mining expedition there cost 10 million
and plus all equipment
we can estimate this one was like maybe uhhh
1 billion dollars
probs more
but anyways
opaque forum
~5B
stone vine
thats nothing
opaque forum
Give or take
opaque forum
Deyfus better be happy. people died for that Iridium.
stone vine
well theyre probably using said iridium to test on people aswell
seeing as why not right
opaque forum
With the extras they found.
stone vine
we have its called yummy biomass 😉
stone vine
i wanna see drills actually drilling rocks
like
for value
not just to build dumb complex
opaque forum
Our mission is to make our own escape route
Meaning we are mining a path to our destination
And out
tame goblet
that would make a good mission. power the drill to reach part of the level.
lilac island
Be me, afk and drilling into the rock
opaque forum
And when we turn on the drill we have to fight
lilac island
dont mind me.
late basalt
i wont
opaque forum
It makes noise so it makes sense
opaque forum
I can’t you do it.
tame goblet
I don't wanna get downvoted to sh*t :/
late basalt
is this payday?
opaque forum
It sounds like a good mission though and I can’t type in that chat
late basalt
OOF
opaque forum
Just put it under my name
late basalt
what was it
tame goblet
Hhahaaha
late basalt
oh god
opaque forum
One more downvote
late basalt
^
opaque forum
Im going to mod mail the info
late basalt
what
opaque forum
I sent it
late basalt
where is it then
opaque forum
Mod mail
late basalt
Too worried about countless Downvotes?
stone vine
mod mail for what?
opaque forum
Actually no
lilac island
Guess I can't downvote the suggestion :(
opaque forum
Mod mail for the drill level
late basalt
might even top Warden for that
stone vine
oh i see
opaque forum
Dont they put mod mail in the suggestions?
stone vine
dang no downvotes how sad
late basalt
np
lilac island
no
lilac island
Ill post the suggestion
opaque forum
Add a mission where you have to turn on a drill to get to your objective. The timer for how long the drill could last would be up to you but make sure that the waves come in when the drill is on.
Edit it to your liking
lilac island
Done.
opaque forum
I actually want to see how many downvotes this gets.
late basalt
it s up
tame goblet
What are your guys thoughts on more character voice lines. e.g when one of the characters see's the mother for the first time they're like "What the fuck is that...."
opaque forum
That would be for more rundowns
lilac island
Gameplay stuff is much more important
stone vine
stares at wall intensley this is good lore
opaque forum
Guys the suggestion is almost even
tame goblet
Love how typing posted it and also downvoted it KEKW
opaque forum
His choice
stone vine
its 5:4 now 😉
lilac island
@tame goblet I wasn't lying when I said I'd downvoting it ;)
opaque forum
Not mad. Honest opinion.
late basalt
ready
opaque forum
He did what he wanted
opaque forum
What
tame goblet
I think it has more potential
opaque forum
You mean like a lvl 1 alarm reactor
tame goblet
Reactor is just waves, a drill can be a lot of stuff.
lilac island
I don't like because its reskinned reactor and error alarm. It makes more sense to do wave defence when you turn it on for a specific door.
opaque forum
Id say it’s a timer for the drill
late basalt
laughs in [REDACTED] ideas
opaque forum
Like can you survive 30 seconds or 2 minutes of wave and/or constant bombardments of sleepers
late basalt
the world may never see the pain of my Ideas thank god for the playerbase
opaque forum
That’s what the drill should be
lilac island
It's not a new level idea, they had it at the end of R1D1.
late basalt
pretty much
lilac island
Unity engine
Can use cars and shit
Not having to drill a path through the rock to get to the entrance like in Red Faction
late basalt
just a natural timer not a literal one
lilac island
ffs ppl
opaque forum
👍
opaque forum
It was fun and scary
stone vine
wait caretaker we forgot something very important, the 13000 ppm 😐
stone vine
we we forgot
opaque forum
It’s worth more isnt it
opaque forum
Oh no
stone vine
1,500,000,000,000,000,000

1.5 quintillion
Huh
Ah fuck no.
Warden
Please do not tell us we have to change the price of US dollars to Spanish pesos or Euros
stone vine
yes
i prefer just using usd since im familiar with it
but we can use different currency
Alright
ill put that in rq
it took 20 months
in the email atleast
1091361648
usd total
and in pesos
it is
opaque forum
Compared to 1.5 quintillion
stone vine
24073800000
opaque forum
Did you subtract the cost daily?
opaque forum
Damn
stone vine
yeah it doesnt change much'
opaque forum
And more
stone vine
yes
opaque forum
Im rooting for baby cthulhu now
opaque forum
The guardian of the crater
stone vine
uhh that would still set us at 1.5 quint
opaque forum
Baby Cthulhu
tame goblet
which one owns a load of brands? Was it dryfus?
Santonian was the one who did the digging
stone vine
anyways i have homework so gotta blast
opaque forum
Later
tame goblet
So why does Hakket have the Santonian logo instead of the dryfus?
opaque forum
He just has it
Probably found it lying somewhere
Or was given it
Or stole it
There is a lot to question about why he has one
R4, we hope, has answers to it.
All we know about the four main characters is a foggy background of Bishop and Dauda’s mental link to something.
That’s it
tame goblet
and you base this mental link off the trailer because Dauda happened to be the one narrating it?
opaque forum
Yes, everyone does.
Bishop is the only known one to have worked for Santonian as of right now.
tame goblet
You could assume maybe they all have the mental link.
Just because Dauda was narrating doesn't mean the other 3 don't have it.
opaque forum
Yes in fact we can but the only one we can clearly guess to have it is dauda. R4 should give us more insight to the main characters
Saying that the other 3 have it is a hypothetical guess with some suggestions pointing towards it but not enough to be big enough to have more people on board with that theory.
If they do have Dauda’s ability then they were near each other when the thing happened whatever it was that gave them mental insight.
And looking at how big the complex is it is possible, yet unlikely they were near each other when the event occurred.
tame goblet
couldn't it just be the cortex implant?
opaque forum
Nope
tame goblet
how come?
opaque forum
The implant is for connection to the Warden.
Dauda’s mind was changed. He can feel their emotions their hate.
The implant is specifically for the warden
Not them
tame goblet
and "their" are the sleepers?
tame goblet
Okay, so we need more info to made a truly accurate analogy.
opaque forum
It is hinted to the sleepers but it could also be a red herring
Yes
As of this point all we can do is wait and guess what is to come.
As soon as R4 is released then this chat will be flooded again
tame goblet
you know the red text when you click on a mission, I think C1 is "It's....changed..." Are they the words of previous prisoners?
opaque forum
Yes
tame goblet
D1 is "This feels...wrong... We have no choice..."
opaque forum
Those are words of failed drops
The last words of the last drop to go down
But those are hints to what we do and how important they are to the lore.
tame goblet
One guy said to me, that our 4 characters are basically the A team. Warden sends in worthless prisoners to collect data. When they have enough they send the 4 we play as in to do it.
tame goblet
So when enough prisoners fail the task the warden sends in us as we're most likely to get it done?
opaque forum
As it seems
And so far the four has a 100% success rate even though us players fail multiple times.
tame goblet
ye so when you fail its basically like it never happened
opaque forum
Or we were one of the other teams.
tame goblet
and like memories passed onto the a team?
opaque forum
My Key theory explains a bit of it.
Dauda can see what other prisoners saw and felt before, during, and after they fell during their mission. In every game we fail in is actually four other guys but dauda sees them has himself and his crew while his crew succeeds every time. It would explain why we hear the crank grab us after we fail a mission even though we are not close to hole anymore, dauda is waking up. Im not saying this game is a dream im saying it is taken from dauda’s ability. And every time we succeed that is or potentially could be Dauda’s crews success. “But why do we only see one person while playing the game?” You could be asking. Well imagine we are tapping into Dauda’s head and watching what one person does. Since he is connected to them maybe we can tap into that and see them through him. We could just be scientists under the warden observing what the prisoners are doing through Dauda’s head. And that injection? A transmitter. Or something that can neurally send video images to screens. Another question you may be asking is “well why dont they continue
looking at the fallen prisoners to understand more of the transformation process?” To put it simply, there is no point. Sleepers don’t have eyes so they are in darkness and they can’t see emotions so what is the point of trying. They cant track dead prisoners through nothing. And Baby Cthulhu? Going up to get Dauda for his ability to connect to peoples minds. That would be one strong army when you can upgrade your mind using Dauda’s untapped potential to telepathically control and entire army without having to make a noise. Making your whereabouts virtually unknown for the rest of your existence while you play god. Right now it’s an ant colony. But if nothing can stop it, Hive mind. And Dauda is the key while the other three are protecting him. Bishop because he knows the layout. (Maybe) Woods being the heavy lifter and hard hitter. And (Maybe) Hackett being the stress reliever so that these four do not start fights with each other. And to keep them questioning less the Warden also send them down into the complex knowing the risks if they fail.
tame goblet
and you think there's some kind of "mother" who wants Dauda's ability?
