Jumping on barrels often sends me and the friends I play with flying across the room. It's fun, but a bit chaotic. It's not nearly as bad as it was when I first played. But they still fly around/send us flying every now and then.

Also just for screenshot potential. I'd love if we didn't slide/bounce off of each other's heards, I want stacks! (Other than that, the only cosmetic feature I want more than anything is some emotes for the launch bay, I wanna sit down with by brothers!

That was converted from a bug to a feature long ago when we got the barrel physics to a state that was deemed not completely insane.

Dwarf stacking would be fun, no doubt.

I think we actually have a sit down animation but it has not been implemented because of priorities.

Understandable, with the amounts of OC and skins it seems like an excessive amount of work.

You're no fun. :P

We need food buffs! The dwarves need a good head of steak / raw meat to go with their beer! :)

I would disagree emphatically. Even if the balance between overclocks is numerically perfect, there is no way for all overclocks to be equal in the mind of every player. There is no zen state where players will find all overclocks enticing and valuable rewards.

I would say it is an issue of how randomization will always screw over a significant number of people. And how frustrating it is to be repeatedly screwed over for a number of weeks and/or months due to how strictly time gated overclocks are. It is an issue of a want repeatedly not being met due to things entirely outside of the player's control.

You are right, my response was based on your buddy wanting what is one of the most powerful OCs for the revolver right now.

But yes, that is the nature of random rewards and was part of the bargain that we made with the devil when we decided to do "drops".

Thanks Mike, I appreciate the honesty! Thanks for getting to the smaller comments too. You guys are legends, examples of what great devs should be.

Like... you know what a xenomorph is? From Scott Ridley's alien franchise? Replace the textures for the glyphids with that. And up the bug count to 1 million. Objective: survive. It's always the coolest visual when we are getting swarmed and you can hear the bugs but cant see them until you toss a flair into the dark and see a horde making it's way to you. I just thought that having an event with the aliens from the franchise for a weekend or so would be a cool treat.

Cool but not sure if it would be legal. Probobly not. Also when you say a million I think less Aliens and more Starship Troopers.

Thank you for the reply and considering it at the very least! Rock and stone brother! ⛏

Rock and Stone! To the bone.

Thank you for your reply. Maybe someday ill revisit the idea in another AMA after 1.0. Take care my friends!

Do our dwarves miner bois drink coffee? Super important question. Also, is DRG upper management a bunch of skinny chinned leaf lovers!?

1. I'm sure they do.

2. No.

With my beard question answered I have a few other, less important queries. Is there an eta for u29 experimental server? To me it seems that the weapon and overclock balance is so delicate and complex that it needs more time than usual to fine tune and get right. Will ice spear/snowball and other similar overclocks get a proper overhaul or will the damage numbers just be adjusted. Spending 30 fuel for a projectile that can go sideways and miss completely doesn't seem all that fun. And please let persistent plasma field slow down enemies in the radius. It's one of my favourite designs but it falls a bit flat when swarmers can skitter through the field without dying.

No eta for U29.

Weapon balance is super tricky and I expect to probably tweak it some more in the future. Luckily we're a PvE game so a little bit of imbalance is acceptable so priority goes to fixing the stuff that is extremely off. Like the cryo Canon projectile OCs which are getting a deep rework.

And I'll take a look at persistent plasma... It should definatelly kill swarmers.

I just dislike having one of the enemy on our side, and all the greenbearded unloading into them! But I'll live with them if it works.

I don't mean entirely custom, but maybe letting us decide which direction the scroll wheel makes it go? I know it's mostly cause I haven't gotten it down perfectly. But Id like to be able to either have a different button scheme (like left crtl for mobility tool) or even just change the direction the scroll wheel moves the selected item in the bar. I might be alone on this but I often find myself doing the opposite of what I was planning with it because of other games I play.

To The Bone!

You are not alone. I'll look into it.

I see your still taking some questions, got time for one more?

Me and my friends are slow-paced players. We like the easy difficulty and the nice pace it offers for the game. Something we like to do together is find a nice scenic spot to sit and just chat for a minute and catch up. It's a nice break from the games we're playing since we don't live close together anymore. We LOVE sitting in the space rig and looking out at Hoxxes from the NOW EVEN BIGGER :D window.

However, the star that sits above Hoxxes is pretty bright, and causes a lens flair on the characters vision. This gives us both MAJOR headaches after a few seconds... So my questions are

1) What are the chances of lowering the intensity of the lens flair/ asking management to add tint to the window.
2) Adding the ability to see the statues and posters of whoever game you joined, not just your own.

These would both give us some nice views, as of now DRG is lacking some scenery.

I'll talk to Robert about it... Maybe we can put in a window polarisation button next to the gravity recalibration one...

As for the statues and posters... The hall is a more personal space and while I totally see your desire to share that space I doubt we would try to find a good way to do thag while still letting you see your own progression. To many other things on the plate.

The loot bugs, will you add a feature to feed them gold and tame them and be able to ride them up 90° walls??

I'm would say yes but then a programmer would just punch me in the nose come Monday morning...

So the answer is:

No.

If new classes get added, will there be one with an ambiguous gender (like the TF2 Pyro, or maybe a robot), or a female dwarf? And if the latter might appear in the future, will she be able to have a beard? Actually, could the dwarfs make a robot that can also have beards?

We still have not made a decision on the whole females thing... Ambiguous gender would be hard to do with the dwarves having voices done the way they are. As for robots... Yeah that robot would need to have beards due to our cosmetics being beards. Likewise female characters would also need to rock beards.

So uh, devs, are the 'launch barrels' getting any updates before 1.0? Is is rocket boosting off of a tube 100% the plan

Launch barrels?

ignisiun413

Could we get a scroll wheel customizer? I find myself blowing my legs off on driller more than I'd like to admit when trying to pull out my drill. Any chance on alternate movement tools/upgrades for them in the future planned?

What are the devs feelings on the controversial STEVE?

Not sure about custom scroll wheels but maybe we can find a way to let players separate their guns from their tools if they want to... Then again the det pack is a tool so that would not help you... Yeah, I'm drawing a blank here.

Rock and Stone!

PS. What did Steeve do this time?
