Thanks, I wish you guys all the best for 1.0 and the afterparty😎
Rock and Stone!
I don't have this game...yet, but I ran across a reference to your reply and wanted to throw something out to see if it might help you down the road...
Competitive Co-Op might be interesting IIF (If and Only If) it is done in the same spirit as say, the TV series "The Deadliest Catch". Instead of player kills, the teams would be searching for the greatest value of mineral hauls and/ore (see what I did there..lol) alien "parts", of which, depending on the "demand", would fluctuate over certain time periods. Mining locations, including planets, would be rumored to have the materials currently in demand, but of course, the higher the value of the possible yield, the more dangerous (as in conditions, difficulty, and alien monster opposition) would be faced. Such a path might necessitate the inclusion of another class whose primary purpose is the ability to "carry the load". This new class doesn't have much damage potential but has more defensive capabilities. The other classes would also be tasked with helping to protect their mining/killing yield from yet more aliens. Further, the new class could also have available upgrades in order to have a larger capacity, be faster, and have more armor resistance. I suppose the same function could be provided by a companion bot for the teams instead of a playable class, but that would be for the devs to work out.
The winning team would then get a nice batch of appropriate level upgrades (maybe one for each miner) or some other meaningful reward at the end of, say a week (7 day period) with total "market" value rankings determining the winners by category. Of course, only a single highest value total mission would count as each team's entry for the week.
Oddly enough, I'd never heard about this game until tonight as I was browsing Steam. If you decide to use any of this, maybe you'll do me a solid and give me a free early access license key? LOL...I know, I KNOW... Just kidding. Good luck!
Hi! I'm glad you discovered our game.
As for your competitive co-op idea, it's cool but we decided not to have any competitive elements to our game (besides the Miner Union chapters thing but that is super-mega-soft). Our focus is co-op and we want all elements of the game to reinforce that.
Rock and Stone miner!
Wow this is great!
Don't know about you guys but I'm pulling a DRG all-nighter on the 13th.
PSA: Sleep is important. DRG will still be here when you wake up.
Maybe yeah
Definitely backup your save before nuking your progress!
Rock and Stone!
I'm pretty sure that is rank 4/6 no 6/6 :-)
This is really cool :-) nice work!
We can only dream..... Would make for a cool OC tho, instead of full auto it fires in bursts
I think you are on to something here
Wha... This is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make something like this. Rock and Stone to the bone!
Impressive.

Valid points, will bring it up for discussion when we have time.
It was at close range, but it also worked with the Minigun rounds when using the "red heat meter adds fire damage" mod.
In fact, I'll do you one better. Here's your own patch notes from Update 25, from your official website. It reads:
[COMMUNITY REQUEST] Acid clouds now blow up from all fire damage sources
Huh... I stand corrected.
I can bet you my entire supply of 400 Magnite that this was a case for hitscan weapons, but then it wasn't.
I explicitly remember igniting Praetorian clouds with my White Phosphorous boomstick mod, a few patches ago.
Huh, that is odd... The tech that makes it possible was just recently added. Maybe something in the way the Boomstick does damage could trigger it anyway... Was this at close range? It has the blastwave mechanic which is overlap-based so maybe that was what did it...

Is there a specific reason you want that?
That must have been satisfying...
