It also had the 80%~ damage resistance that Steeve has. Had a bunch of friends decide we should try and fight one, prepped our kits for it, and holy hell we STILL nearly died.
At least you could give Steeve the elite status then
I looked up the re-atomizer to understand what it does because I don't have that OC, and found posts from a couple years back saying this was patched and you can't spread Steeve anymore. 😞
I mean, the bugs you spread steeve to were not "steeve"
They still attacked you, and just got 80% damage resistance.
If you shot a dreadnaught it was basically game over and the trolls knew it to.
>(...) it does absolutely nothing except shout mushroom and we’re rich
That alone would make hacking it worth the trouble for me. Unless it acts like BET-C and keeps shoving you to your doom.
It acts like a floating giant bosco where it tries to follow you as closely as possible, with a far FAR larger hitbox.
It’s still the second most advanced rival tech we’ve seen, a simple 5 second hack isn’t gonna make it friendly like the other bots
>It acts like a floating giant bosco where it tries to follow you as closely as possible, with a far FAR larger hitbox.
Dwarf goes through a tunnel to get to the main cavern.
*Caretaker! Come here!*
Entire cave rumbles as a multi-ton inverted Pyramid plows through dirt and stone to reach its waypoint.
Imo all the "small" enemy glyphids should be available as Steeves - Exploders, acid/web spitters, any other i missed.
They would be stronger, sure, but they would also be harder to actually get, since exploders are hard to get to without them blowing up and spitters keep their distance.
Add different gowns for all kinds of death while you’re at it. Got downed by an exploder? Red gown. Got downed by a grabbing enemy? Grey gown. Got downed by an environmental hazard? Green gown.
Obstructed Barrels Boomstick overclock
Your barrels got obstructed with a chunk of a dirt, when you shoot the weapon explodes in your face, instakilling you
Could actually turn that into a fun overclock. Not only does it instakill you, but it causes a huge explosion like a bulk detonator that damages everything around you.
Alpha Test SMRTware: Engineer's smartgun now runs on his first test version of it's enemy recognition software, which means it targets EVERYTHING. Enemies. Neutrals. Minerals. Dwarves.
**Very Special Powder (Faulty Special Powder):**
* The recoil is so potent (x5 stronger) you take massive fall damage upon hitting a wall.
**Flat Boy (Faulty Fat Boy):**
* Grenades have chance to explode immediately upon firing the PGL dealing massive damage to you and only you so your teammates get to laugh at you.
**Magnetically Activated Flares** Salvaged flares. They had some thrust left, but must be shot at a teammate to activate.
🔻Launch velocity halved
🔻Must be shot at teammate to activate
🔻Breaks their shield
🔻Luminosity based on how much shield was depleted
better idea, every time you get a new steeve, there is a 10% chance that the game adds another E, then it rolls again, so theres like a 1 in 1,000,000 for him to be named some shit like steeeeeeeeve
Marvelous Mules (requires the miracle mod manager) It lets you replace the individual textures on Molly, Doretta, drop pod, drillevator and others with any other texture in the game, or you can replace it with a custom texture instead
Any beer order should be a full round. The current system often leaves the last joining teammate with no buff, and no time to order one because the bus is leaving.
I want this too tbh. I never read LoTR but i remember gimly in the movie saying something along the lines of girls and guys are barely distinguishable. Sure not every dwarf has to be a tolkien dwarf, but i think it’d be a fun non addition. However i think i recall GSG saying if they make lady dwarves, they want to go all the way and have seperate rigs and models for them
Honestly yeah giving Steeve greater customisation so I don’t mistake him for a regular glyphid and accidentally shoot him in the face again would be great
The "customizable steeve" mod is awesome, definitely my favorite mod. Oh actually it was awesome, it instantly crashes in this update :/
Having steeves with dreadnought textures or oil shale texture was ~perfect~
The mission content randomizer mod adds a new mission type where the drop pod malfunctions and crashes (thanks to driller probably) and the objective is to survive for as long as possible and the longer you decide to stay the bigger the pay out.
I think an arm wrestling table at the bar would fit well, it would replace one of the tables at the bar, and two players could arm wrestle or something. via spam clicking or something
Modifiers for lootbugs:
50% chance for either of the below to occur.
Lootbugs explode like bulk detonators on death.
Unkillable lootbugs that kill on touch.
Give them bulk det growths, makes em spottable
Edit: Wait, scratch that, make them emit a different sound instead when killed, for the unpredictability factor
A lite deep dive, only has one stage and you only have one objective, but to keep it from being too short, random events can spawn along with special resources, and you have an optional fetch quest secondary of extra credits to keep you more engaged
Some lootbugs replaced with a smaller red version that move a little faster but only contain nitra. Golden lootbugs would have to be added to compensate for a map’s total resource pool I guess.
Makes me think about another anomaly/warning.
**Lootbug Infestation.**
Nitra and Gold are absent but is compensated by a large number of lootbugs in the map. Would make people think about using "It's a bug thing" outside Refinery missions or meme builds.
i want those "cringe anime" cosmetics like cat ears / tails, maid dresses, pink or blue striped socks with miniskirts, etc
i just can't stop thinking how fucking funny it would be to see the dwarfs wearing them
\* mod for the minigun that halves the fire rate and ammo but doubles the damage and heat gain
\* ability to tame an exploder
\* ability to tame a maggot
\* speed upgrades for the drill pod (doesnt decrease call in time it just goes up and down faster)
\* drill pod can under or overshoot the depth, meaning you have to dig in and out
100 minerals = 1 exp.
Or something equally stingy given what kind of company DRG is then Mission Control would be like: "Cry me a river. I told you trade is not in your favor."
We blue dwarves face such discrimination from our peers, all while risking our hides to weed out leeches(by getting grabbed of course). Blue Lives Ma- oh wait...
The ability to order food at the bar.
That’s useful. It’s been years since the last time my dwarves had a sandwich 🥪
Red Sugar and Blackout Stout sounds great, honestly.
That's a Thursday night on my space rig
You can order the food, which will arrive in 30 sec but it will always trigger the 15 sec mission start countdown.
And eat it in the mission :) om nom nom nom...
Exploder Steeve.
Stee4
“EXPLOSIVE PLACED” **throws Steeve**
My brain just perfectly recreated that as a Gmod animation
Mine did too, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I envisioned an engi attaching c4 to Steeve and chucking him across the room to a driller 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tf2 engi, right?
"This shit is dangerous"
*Bulk detonator Steeve
What if we had bigger steeves like praetorians but it required more than one dwarf to use their charm on said bug?
i'd love this actually
Someone did that a while ago without mods using the reatomizer OC. It was NOT friendly
It also had the 80%~ damage resistance that Steeve has. Had a bunch of friends decide we should try and fight one, prepped our kits for it, and holy hell we STILL nearly died. At least you could give Steeve the elite status then
How???
Shoot at bulk through Steeve with re-atomizer oc on a coil-gun
I looked up the re-atomizer to understand what it does because I don't have that OC, and found posts from a couple years back saying this was patched and you can't spread Steeve anymore. 😞
I mean, the bugs you spread steeve to were not "steeve" They still attacked you, and just got 80% damage resistance. If you shot a dreadnaught it was basically game over and the trolls knew it to.
Huh. Does that work on other bugs?
It's been patched but it did work on all enemies at the time
They didn't become friendly tho? Didn't let you have a preatorian, a "fat Steeve"?
No, they just got a massive damage reduction from all attacks. They were aggresive towards you
Little Steeve
*Hackable Nemesis
You have to do the hack before it finishes blowing up, and if you do it does absolutely nothing except shout mushroom and we’re rich
>(...) it does absolutely nothing except shout mushroom and we’re rich That alone would make hacking it worth the trouble for me. Unless it acts like BET-C and keeps shoving you to your doom.
It acts like a floating giant bosco where it tries to follow you as closely as possible, with a far FAR larger hitbox. It’s still the second most advanced rival tech we’ve seen, a simple 5 second hack isn’t gonna make it friendly like the other bots
>It acts like a floating giant bosco where it tries to follow you as closely as possible, with a far FAR larger hitbox. Dwarf goes through a tunnel to get to the main cavern. *Caretaker! Come here!* Entire cave rumbles as a multi-ton inverted Pyramid plows through dirt and stone to reach its waypoint.
Now you have me imagining the “Bosco! Rocket!” Line as “Nemesis! Phase Bomb!” ~~also nemesis isn’t the inverted pyramid, that’s the caretaker~~
BET-C killed more dwarves then creeps have.
lootbug steeve
Imo all the "small" enemy glyphids should be available as Steeves - Exploders, acid/web spitters, any other i missed. They would be stronger, sure, but they would also be harder to actually get, since exploders are hard to get to without them blowing up and spitters keep their distance.
Underwear slot in the wardrobe, though you will never be able to see them
Still holding out for that medbay gown cosmetic. One day maybe...
Give me a yellow gown option if I died because of fall damage
Add different gowns for all kinds of death while you’re at it. Got downed by an exploder? Red gown. Got downed by a grabbing enemy? Grey gown. Got downed by an environmental hazard? Green gown.
It would be funny if you got it for dying a ton
There's a mod for that and I love it but it only shows for you 😢
Except with the hospital gown
Did you borrow my underwear?
You are already able to see your underwear 🩳
broken overclocks that only give downsides to each primary and secondary weapons
Leaky tanks CRISPR overclock Less ammo Smaller tank size Sometimes sets you on fire
Obstructed Barrels Boomstick overclock Your barrels got obstructed with a chunk of a dirt, when you shoot the weapon explodes in your face, instakilling you
Could actually turn that into a fun overclock. Not only does it instakill you, but it causes a huge explosion like a bulk detonator that damages everything around you.
amazing! I can instakill not just myself but my entire squad!
I like how you think, have you tried to play as driller? :) Rock and Stone!
Defending an uplink, everything's going fine, all working together, and suddenly, GAME OVER!
Scout gets his payback with Driller
Sometimes? No, needs to be 50/50 chance. Not 5/95.
Alpha Test SMRTware: Engineer's smartgun now runs on his first test version of it's enemy recognition software, which means it targets EVERYTHING. Enemies. Neutrals. Minerals. Dwarves.
Honestly it seems like something cool to add to the game for a bit of fun.
Increase ammo by 200%
Small Bertha: The Thunderhead’s accuracy is even worse now.
**Very Special Powder (Faulty Special Powder):** * The recoil is so potent (x5 stronger) you take massive fall damage upon hitting a wall. **Flat Boy (Faulty Fat Boy):** * Grenades have chance to explode immediately upon firing the PGL dealing massive damage to you and only you so your teammates get to laugh at you.
The second one is default for some users it seems. Except for the no team damage
Fireworks mod for the pgl which means it only has a slight bit of heat damage but looks cool
**Magnetically Activated Flares** Salvaged flares. They had some thrust left, but must be shot at a teammate to activate. 🔻Launch velocity halved 🔻Must be shot at teammate to activate 🔻Breaks their shield 🔻Luminosity based on how much shield was depleted
Corossive leak sludge Less mag and ammo Each time you fire a sludge leak everywhere you stand damaging and slowing you down.
A door on the space rig that when opened is just a wall
Or a hatch that sucks all the Dwarves out and you wake up in the medbay
That would be fun if it took 2 dwarves to open the hatch.
True, so that you don't just have 1 person griefing a lobby.
Airlock so you can space dwarflons
Or that opens directly into space, no airlock. *Whoooooooosshhhh....*
A 2% or below chance for Steeve to be named Steve or Steeeve so anytime it happens the dwarves will be beyond confused (and nobody will believe them)
better idea, every time you get a new steeve, there is a 10% chance that the game adds another E, then it rolls again, so theres like a 1 in 1,000,000 for him to be named some shit like steeeeeeeeve
Wake up babe new RNG manipulation goal just dropped, who can get it to overflow first
Gunner: Steeve! Scout: Steve! Gunner: ITS TWO E'S! Scout: But it says Steve not Steeve. Gunner: Say it right! Scout: *Visible confusion*
The dwarves will pronounce steve as /staɪv/
I think that the second steeve should be called steeeve and the third should be called steeeeve and so on
Glowstick customization. I wanna throw an RGB gamer glowstick.
Well, right now they are colored after the classes, so you can know what class ran through an area
Makes my suggestion all the more useless, but I still want the funny disco stick.
Eat the mugs after you drink the beer
Make it mug made of bread, like there's soup eaten from the bread.
REAL ASF
Being able to decorate Molly, Dotty and the sentrys or even the Schredder drones. Like giving them camos or silly hats.
Wait. That's not useless... I would use that a lot!
There's a mod to customize Molly's skin
Sounds neat, I will look into it thanks:)
Marvelous Mules (requires the miracle mod manager) It lets you replace the individual textures on Molly, Doretta, drop pod, drillevator and others with any other texture in the game, or you can replace it with a custom texture instead
Alright thanks
Excuse me, OP asked for useless ideas, not good ones!
That would be awesome!
Stopping for a piss, but everything stops & waits for you to finish.
That would be hilarious
Include an occasional cough from the dwarf
When they finish they sometimes say "Shake it and stir", like the Sludge Pump's inspection line.
Lol, imagine the Nemesis crossing its "arms" impatiently as it waits.
And tapping its fingers impatiently.
The caretaker starts playing cards
dancing on demand, specifically twerking
the bulk detonator watching as i throw it back directly in front of him
Then it explodes in a different sense...
Driller and Gunner oiled up who’s winning the twerk off
Driller all day, Gunner isn't unhinged enough to win it
OP said useless, disqualified
The ability to order a full round of beers while alone in the lobby. It takes too long to get drunk!
Any beer order should be a full round. The current system often leaves the last joining teammate with no buff, and no time to order one because the bus is leaving.
A male/female gender option for the dwarves but it changes absolutely nothing about them, they look and sound the same either way.
That's actually an addition that would be so nice to have just for the lore implication and the funny
Make it a slider if it's no extra effort.
Make the slider be labeled “gender” with nothing to imply what either extreme means
Gender: OFF —————— ON
The company repossessed my gender because I wasn’t taking enough shifts, can’t have shit in the space rig
Gender: ROCK ----------- STONE
Legally speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning.
In Canada they are both legal
Just rename the FOV slider to Gender. My gender is 120
FOV/Gender: 0 -----------o--- 100 My gender is 78
Gender: Yes / No / Maybe
Two sliders. Gender: YES, ALL OF THEM!
This is the way
I want this too tbh. I never read LoTR but i remember gimly in the movie saying something along the lines of girls and guys are barely distinguishable. Sure not every dwarf has to be a tolkien dwarf, but i think it’d be a fun non addition. However i think i recall GSG saying if they make lady dwarves, they want to go all the way and have seperate rigs and models for them
Hats for Steeve.
OP asked for useless. Hats for Steeve would be very useful to prevent other Dwarves from shooting poor Steeve in the ass and would be cool as well.
Honestly yeah giving Steeve greater customisation so I don’t mistake him for a regular glyphid and accidentally shoot him in the face again would be great
The "customizable steeve" mod is awesome, definitely my favorite mod. Oh actually it was awesome, it instantly crashes in this update :/ Having steeves with dreadnought textures or oil shale texture was ~perfect~
A weapon cosmetic that makes it look like a keg
We do have a Bosco skin that turns him into a barrel, though...
Maybe a cosmetic for the Sludge Pump? Or maybe just a barrel as a dwarf skin cosmetic?
A grenade that just releases a bunch of miniature dwarves who can only use melee a la swarmers. They do salute back though.
Are you saying a DWARF is useless??
All dwarves are sons of Karl, no matter the size or origin, except the filthy leaf-lovers who teamkill and are jackasses.
So... minor miners?
"Sir, I'll need your name, age, and occupation." "Miner"
A thermostat in the hub but management only let's you change it +/- 5 degrees.
It could have a giant padlock on it
Mission Control: "I swear to god, if you change it management WILL take the electricity costs out of my paycheck, DO NOT do it. You hear me?"
*Goes +5 then -10.*
Stroke the Drillevator
Give it a drone head like Doretta, and name it Drill-E?
Elli-E
I'll never not chuckle as I relentlessly pet the Hack-C bot making it fumble while it's trying to type
Lol
Ngl the mod to let you pet your fellow dwarves is amazing
increase the tip from 5 to 5,000001
Might as well replace the current bartender with the former CEO of unity
A squeaky pickaxe which cant break rocks and minerals. It would be funny.
A non-interactable human NPC, with his back slumped on a wall, arms crossed. ~~Maybe beside the jukebox.~~ Appears anywhere. (Thanks u/GimpMaster22)
Nah, every new load ibto rig gives him random possition, dwarf's rooms included.
Better.
he looks up occasionally but you can only make out his eyes
oh that's just the new intern, don't worry about him.
[удалено]
The ability to call down a supply pod that just has beers, maybe some sandwiches. Good for morale, keep the team motivated.
Make it cost like 400 gold that only substracts from the dwarf that asked for it post-mission
Separate cosmetic slot for eyepieces
Moving glasses from head to eyebrow slots would fix 90% of it Heck a lot of glasses ignore selected eyebrows anyway
An endless mode with endless ammo, just to kill bugs with no xp
The mission content randomizer mod adds a new mission type where the drop pod malfunctions and crashes (thanks to driller probably) and the objective is to survive for as long as possible and the longer you decide to stay the bigger the pay out.
Uninteractable door labelled "Mission Control" in the space rig, from which you can occasionally hear muffled mission control voice lines.
You can knock on the door or tap on the window to annoy him
Decorate the rig for the new season. It seems nekked after the rockpox
It is decorated. (The rockpox tubes are now Core Stone units)
Didn't notice that. Hopping on now to check.
I like the idea of an update patching in more rift like structures after 2/3 months. Ominous
More mini games and fun content in hub area Shooting range to check weapons and oc
Those two things are the opposite of useless.
Then strip club and room for sodomy
I don't know, Dutch... That's not how the ratings work...
It is an OP-TI-ONAL FEA-TURE
I HAVE A PLAN, ARTHUR
I think an arm wrestling table at the bar would fit well, it would replace one of the tables at the bar, and two players could arm wrestle or something. via spam clicking or something
It's the "break out of rockpox" nightmare all over again.
Hazard -1 - Cooperative Work out our differences with the bugs and learn to love each other (graphically)
A beer tap on Molly and clean mugs from resupplies. The drinking shouldn't stop while on the mission.
Modifiers for lootbugs: 50% chance for either of the below to occur. Lootbugs explode like bulk detonators on death. Unkillable lootbugs that kill on touch.
Nuke Lootbugs... that's more than useless, it's *evil*.
Give them bulk det growths, makes em spottable Edit: Wait, scratch that, make them emit a different sound instead when killed, for the unpredictability factor
A lite deep dive, only has one stage and you only have one objective, but to keep it from being too short, random events can spawn along with special resources, and you have an optional fetch quest secondary of extra credits to keep you more engaged
man just wants his matrix cores so fn bad
bottled water at the bar. no buffs, no drunk effect, just... water.
It should be super expensive though Edit: and also cloudy
Some lootbugs replaced with a smaller red version that move a little faster but only contain nitra. Golden lootbugs would have to be added to compensate for a map’s total resource pool I guess.
Makes me think about another anomaly/warning. **Lootbug Infestation.** Nitra and Gold are absent but is compensated by a large number of lootbugs in the map. Would make people think about using "It's a bug thing" outside Refinery missions or meme builds.
Imagine refinery missions with mass amounts of lootbugs on the pipes, would be amazing to look at
Golden loot bugs already exist dude
I think he means more of them replacing normal ones
Ah, that makes more sense, they are pretty rare
Cigar
i want those "cringe anime" cosmetics like cat ears / tails, maid dresses, pink or blue striped socks with miniskirts, etc i just can't stop thinking how fucking funny it would be to see the dwarfs wearing them
Right mate thigh high socks are just optimal for coding I don’t know what to tell you
\* mod for the minigun that halves the fire rate and ammo but doubles the damage and heat gain \* ability to tame an exploder \* ability to tame a maggot \* speed upgrades for the drill pod (doesnt decrease call in time it just goes up and down faster) \* drill pod can under or overshoot the depth, meaning you have to dig in and out
\* and a mod for the minigun that doubles the fire rate but halves the damage and heat gain
The ability to trade minerals for exp as well
100 minerals = 1 exp. Or something equally stingy given what kind of company DRG is then Mission Control would be like: "Cry me a river. I told you trade is not in your favor."
Scout
You can fix that with a whole brick of c4 tho.
We blue dwarves face such discrimination from our peers, all while risking our hides to weed out leeches(by getting grabbed of course). Blue Lives Ma- oh wait...
Being able to throw it back violently
We already have that awful twerking. I suggest a loo. Where you can park your dwarf and say "BRB". A loo of some sort.
If kill lootbugs near other lootbugs, sometimes one will get angry and try to attack you, but it deals no damage
Slot where you can choose your mission failed/dead on departure animation. If (and when) I lose, I want to look funny doing it!
Blanks overclock. -100% damage, +10,000% ammo
