First of all, I'd really like to know if you plan on increasing the difficulty of the game, like perhaps a Haz 6 or something similar. I know we have the EDDs, but I want moar!

Haz 5 becomes a triviality when you get four veteran greybeards to take a crack at it, and the same goes for the EDD.

Now, I read that you guys aren't going to be doing any new classes or weapons in the near future, but what about overclocks for a class' special? Like an overclock for the engineers platform gun that increases the platforms size at the cost of less ammunition, for example?

Last of all, I recognize the hard work you guys have been putting in to this gem of a video game, and deeply thank you for that. This is in no doubt the most interesting and fun cooperative multiplayer game I have ever played. And I've played all of them!

Keep up the good work GSG, Rock and Stone!

I would rather not add another haz Lvl as each one we add further fragments the player base. But maybe a how deep can you go mission type with continuously increasing difficulty would be just the ticket.

For now there are no plans for tool OCs but it could happen. Also new weapons could happen too just not right now.

Thank you.
Rock and Stone!

Woohoo! You guys are great, rock n Stone!

Mike has my vote.

Thank you sir.

abandoned mining outpost ? I like the idea of derelict bases you could come across.

I could see that happening...

One more question I forgot to ask, are there plans for mod support ? I’ve just started to get into modding and would love to try and mod a few things in the game. Thanks !

Some people are doing it unofficially already. Officially I just asked our CEO and he said the answer is not Yes and not No.

It's been great to see the game evolve over these past 2 years, you guys have done a great job. Looking forward to the next 2 years!

Can we get an estimate on when the experimental build for update 29 will be ready?

Thanks! As for and estimate for U29 experimental... no idea.

LeragasTheVile

how about water in caves? would be nice with real-time fluid simulation and stuff... I know it would be a lot of programming, but stil...

Yes it would... and yes it would. We have decided not to do it.

1.) Any plans for non-bug type enemy factions?

2.) Any chance chance for a "real" tower defense type mode? ("By my beard, we poked some bugs we shouldn't have. Grab your pickaxes. Protect the DRG HQ! Time we put those resources to use.")

1. Robots? But no, no plans for that.
2. A defense-focused mission type is definitely a possibility.

Are there plans for more extreme or exotic looking cosmetics ?

Maybe? Can you be more specific?

Assuming this is a galaxy where humans and elves are around, how y’all or short are the dwarves compared to them? Are they still proportionately shorter? Are they similar height?

This is why we don't have any bananas on the Space Rig.

Is there a bottom of the map? Or a top? I spent a good 45 minutes with three other drillers digging down with Rocky mountain, and got about 1000 meters down, if there isn't a bottom, tell me for peace of mind.

You'll hit a harder material as you go lower. There is no bottom but things will probably get weird if you go too far...

Will my true love barrel-karl ever be made real? It is a barrel with a badly-doodled face and a swab for a beard. And we can take it with us during missions. Maybe we can also install a speaker that we can press for inspirational quotes of the great karl? ;)

Also, I hope you guys/gals/attack pickaxes feel as awesome as you should for making this great game!

Barrel-Karl lives in your heart. A place more real than the spacerig.

Hello GSG love your game my all time favourite! Will we be able to get turret mounts for Molly mid game that we can only spec into if we collect enough nitra etc? Also thoughts on several upgraded versions of engineers turret like in TF2?

Hi, and thanks!

A combat-Molly could happen if a future mission type needs it.

No plans for doing more turrets at the moment.

Loving the game, keep up the great development!

I was wondering have you ever considered adding creatures that could fuse together to make a larger more dangerous creature (depending on how many happen to spawn/be around) that has additional abilities/strengths? Like for instance, if the naedocyte shocker jellies were to fuse together (before going to attack you) to create a larger one that could either deal more damage, do an additional ranged attack/attack type, or have more damage resistance.

This could force players to target prioritize this creature type before it becomes more threatening than others.

That sounds awesome...

LambsalotGaming

First off, Lootbug plushie. I need one. I need five. Please. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Secondly, pretty much everyone in my discord community REALLY thinks some kind of melee combat would just be the cherry on the wonderful cake that is DRG and I'm inclined to agree! Are there any plans for a more viable melee-only combat system? Are the new pickaxes from the customization station going to have status/effects perhaps~?

Lastly, a personal thanks from me. I've basically been strapped to a chair for nearly 8 months due to a spine injury and Deep Rock has been a constant source of joy in these trying times. I love how open you are, how you don't pull punches and you get involved so directly with the community with things like this and on the Discord server. You guys rock!

PS; been seriously thinking about getting a tattoo of each of the classes icons but I'm scared y'all are going to change the colour or something again.... am I safe? x'D

There has been some talk with a merch-provider/distributor. Nothing concrete yet but yeah, I want that plushy too.

We have decided to not go full-in on melee because doing it right would take way too much time. I do not think our melee system is good enough for anything beyond the occasional whack when a bug gets too close.

Sucks about your back, terrible really :-( but I'm glad to hear our game has brought you joy. That is very high praise, thank you.

As for the tattoo, I would recommend you think some more on it. You are definitely not safe in regard to icon changes and the like and I would hate to know that a fan has them tattooed if it is decided that we need to update or modify them.

Rock and Stone!

Pizza or tacos? No taco pizza. That's cheating.

Pizza, unless it's a REALLY good tacos.

Hey, I love you guys, sorry for asking a boring, strictly technical question:

One of the things I'd love to see improved before release is antialiasing. Any chance of that happening? There is a thread on steam, pinned one, with people suggesting different changes to the game files. And most of them indeed look much better, but due to the fact they were not made by professionals they can cause some slight graphical glitches.

Example (high setting above, changed game file below): https://imgur.com/a/6u0cNNa

Thanks a lot! <3

I'm all for getting better anti-aliasing, I'm gonna go bug a programmer about it but no promises.

In your opinion what is the best overclock as of the moment? What about the worst?

My favourite is the Special Powder OC on the Boomstick.
