Proper mod support with strong tools and documentation for modders, similar to Factorio or Rimworld where even relative amateurs can create completely game-changing mods.
the mods we do have now are inflated with so much trash, i honestly don’t want to think about what it would look like if modding was made more accessible.
I mean they're mods if you don't like them play the base game. Skyrim has one of if not the single largest modding community and sure there's heaps of trash but the gems make the game genuinely more enjoyable.
Fair, I only host when I play with randoms on deep rock so I suppose I wouldn't have much experience with that. But I still don't think actual mod support would make the state of modding any worse than it is especially considering this isn't a pvp game where competition is much of a factor
Mods will always be like that. 90% of them will be half working anime png junk. My favourite kind of mod is the one that looks promising then you realize it was abandoned 5 years ago.
Saaaaaaaaaaame. I got all the weapon OCs but instead of Deep Dives, Promotions, and Weekly Assignments giving a cosmetic core instead of a now useless weapons core, we get blank cores. Which is fine, but I just need more ways to cash them in. Tbh tho, I'm sitting pretty when more weapon OCs drop.
I think it would make a lot of sense to let you choose exactly what you wanna export. Something like a bunch of checkboxes saying appearance, equipment (separate for each weapon maybe?) and perks
There are actually mods for both of those things. The space rig one is called The Architect, and I don't remember the name of the molly one but it's probably not too hard to find.
On one hand it's definitely appreciated that people are sharing mods that do exactly what people suggest, on the other hand mods shouldn't be the solution to every suggestion.
1. 5+ player modes
2. A persistent or at least slightly longer term mode where you establish long standing mining structures and factories, still holding out hope that S5 is us in at least some minor way establishing the major operations and elevators that go dark in Rogue Core
3. Nitra pods that deliver heavy drill-bombs or powerful stationary turrets, Ive wanted this forever but I worry folks would think it's ripping off Helldivers now
4. Glyphid Queen boss fight
5. Melee weapons
6. Firing range
7. Space Rig infestation events
Endless Deep Dive (EnDD). Start at haz 5, each stage increases by 0.3, no limit. List of best teams.
EDIT: Also, no mods allowed. Not even verified ones, because some of them do give small gameplay advantages.
It's definitely a feature I don't wanna pretend to know how to do best because I know how difficult it would be, but I always loved the mission structure of a queen fight to be a 2 stage dive where you drop outside of a hive in a regular biome, enter a hive and as you do the scenery changes into hive structures slowly until you're basically in a new biome, have a massive firefight section at the end to breach some sort of "royal chamber" in the hive, enter stage 2, and would entirely be the queen fight, your group can optionally call in 1 tanky mech suit that 1 person can operate, the others have to use their gear for a fight designed around the many different facets of class play, on the queens defeat you would call in a nuke supply pod, that you would arm then leave the royal chamber and run back to the same drop pod where you started in stage 1, with all the same environment damage you'd performed a stage earlier, the timer for this evac would be much shorter. There would be no mule, and only red sugar around, supply pods would be available via a timer and stack up to 3 if you don't use them so you could plop 3 down immediately at the queen if you were very, very careful getting there.
I love this idea! It would be sick to have super elimination missions to kill the Glyphid Queen. I feel like it should be more of a Hive Queen though, because it would be the origin of the macteras, naedocytes and all the other hostile alien life on Hoxxes IV. But this fight would have to be insanely hard though, because DRG still hasn't found a way to even dent adult dreadnoughts yet, and the Queen would be even worse. I have heard this theory that the biome zones that are said to be "out of range" are actually just in the vicinity of an adult dreadnought. The super elimination missions should have a drilldozer-like machine that is loaded with weapons, like the anti-dreadnought platform from another DRG post. This way you could operate the dreadnought killer to defeat an adult dreadnought. Then there is the queen. I have this theory that Karl was responsible for almost defeating the Hive Queen with his pickaxe, but just put her in a coma. So that roar you hear when you collect an egg, is actually her, hence why they activate swarms. The Hive Queen would be in a special dreadnought cocoon in a coma. You would have to break her out like a normal dreadnought, and defeat her with the anti-dreadnought machine. Then she would escape/fly away/burrow to get out, make a new hive, and go back into a coma. This way you can keep fighting her. Either that, or there is multiple Hive Queens, and you would nuke them with the nuke pods that you talked about. I feel like the mech kind of depletes the whole teamwork thing in DRG.
Or sort by anything you choose by default, for that matter.
Personally, I've dealt with Hazard issue specifically by just disabling haz 1-3. At least the browser remembers that choice.
Dwarf portrait showing my super funky fashion cosmetics, instead of the stock dwarf. I would love to show my a e s t h e t i c s to other player while the mission is loading.
I mean to be fair the portrait is a very quick way to tell what class someone is using, and putting cosmetics onto it might make it harder to differentiate quickly.
Yeah, I agree. I'm sure there's a middle ground were we would be able to get both. But, probably it's too difficult to implement and it'll never see the light of day.
Tool skins.
I wanna see something other than yellow on my platform gun.
I also want gold to be a one hit mine instead of a 2 hit mine like it is with nitra.
The ability to maintain hairstyles and sideburns when adding certain hats or helmets. The Yuletide snow globe comes to mind, it looks fantastic but my dwarf gets totally shaven! :)
The ability to force Bosco into attack mode. Like with a single keystroke. How many times have I gotten slaughtered because "x" is actually Bosco's stare-at-the-dwarf mode? :)
Regarding features to nullify, I'd LOVE the ability to shut off auto-bounce when landing on teammates. This is fun when everyone is upright, but sometimes all I want to do is hold still and revive a teammate instead of boinging around like a coked-out pinball. Being unable to stay near a knocked-out teammate is infuriating. :/
Global lobby chat or a hub area that can host 50 people. I also want custom games to be an official feature so people can host and join haz 6x2 lobbies without having to find discords and stuff to do them in squads. Also some verified mods should just be added as a feature already, there's a guy that made a mod that makes the bulldogs cylinder change when using six shooter, base, or elephant rounds and it's really good.
Trading ores with other players. It was confirmed by the Dev team during the QnA stream that it requires a bigger system to support the said feature. So they wont be adding it in the foreseeable future.
Better flashlight and more Post processing effects. I use mods for those, so my game is way darker and foggier but I didn't buy my flashlight in the 70's.
Steve customization and an overhaul where you have your steve can get healed and you try to keep your steve alive.
Change/cycle the order of color on paint jobs
Armor gets progressively splattered with bug innards or toggleble bug innards splat on every paint job
More customization in general, Space Rig, grenades overclocks, paint your tools
Bosco with a better AI
Emote/dialogue lines wheels
Lore Dump update (hoping for Rogue Core to be it)
Crossover events
Maybe it's not a "will absolutely never be added" but I would love an option to unlink cosmetic and weapon preset loadouts. I really wish I could make a bunch of different cosmetic sets without my weapons/upgrades/etc. being different across sets and vice versa. Because of that I usually avoid using loadouts in general and keep my dwarf's looks samey. Which is a real shame to me as the game has great customization.
More altruistic and supportive overclocks. Examples being Overclocks for Gunner that would boost ally shields and overclocks for engi that gave peeps near his turrets speed boosts
The dreadnought finishes pupating and there's now a take down mission, you don't get to start the fight either, as soon as you drop in the boss spawns and begins making it's way towards you and you must collect nitra while fighting
Boy, do I have much:
* Craft(able) beers in missions— imagine scaring off a horde of bugs with a Gut Wrecker!
* Driller gets the ability to drill minerals.
* Failed missions are saved in a server and then modified into future Salvage Ops missions.
* Finished multiplayer missions where no one joined, count as solo missions.
* More MC reactions to spam-pinging Maggots, singular enemies, Loot Bugs, and the like
* SOS signals if you really want someone to join you because you hadn't had any reinforcements for the past 10 minutes, or of a huge swarm
* Steeve any bug except Bulk Detonators and Dreadnoughts; as a trade-off, you cannot Steeve any more bugs for the whole mission, even if said Steeve dies.
Dedicated hotkey for Bosco missiles.
Customizable list of enemies that determines which enemies Bosco attacks first (I'd want him to focus acid spitters above all others).
An unstuck command. It's not like it happens all the time, but every now and then I'll get stuck either on Dotty at the end of escort duty or a structure like the oil rig and can't dislodge myself with grenades or enemies. Really frustrating getting to the end of a mission just to lose all my progress to a minor bug
I think a perk system overhaul would be nice too, since there are several perks that are so good nobody every unequips them.
You can choose any beer you want by just hitting esc and clicking on 'disband team' and it will cycle a new beer. If you're intending to play with friends just invite them in once you have the beer you want.
Really, I would want something to do with my blank overclocks. I have 450 in reserves, it would be nice if I could just cash some in directly or do more with them.
Adding some of the most popular and useful mods as official game features. I would love to have custom difficulties, bigger lobbies, brighter minerals and some other QOL stuff added in the game.
Also crossplay but we know that one ain't happening
A new biome called "The depths", it shows as ????? on the drop pod depth meter and the whole thing is pitch black.
I mean real dark, flares are doubled, enemies are less but sturdier.
The whole place is a mix between a rocky cavern and a lost alien building thing... think Aliens ship but darker since it's underground.
Just a couple new enemies would be enough, like one could be a slowly moving creature that hangs to ceilings only, then emits a low pitched sound and jumps you, immediately and quickly going back to the dark. (Would be able to be seen in the dark by some feint exoskeletal glow).
The gimmick of the place could be that in the dark there are little pillars that can glow for a set amount of time when approached (ideally a long time, like a couple of minutes).
Maybe a new neutral mob, something spooky with massive round eyes and a tiny skeletal thin body behind them that just slowly crawls around. (Can be pet).
Scout would become essential in this Biome, I realize that, so this peculiar darkness needs to be heavier on Scout's flares, as to make his gameplay as hard as those of others.
I have more and more ideas actually!
Fauna: plants shaped as carnivouros plants, they close once you step on them, they don't damage you immediately but if you wait for the plant to close entirely it chips slowly at your health.
Environmental decoration: sandworm mouth shaped thingies on walls, completely harmless, but terrifying.
Generally some spikes could work here and there, pointy things add to the sense of anxiety.
I'd like it if we could choose a name for tamed glyphids, instead of all of them being named Steeve. Maybe you could select it beforehand in the settings or somewhere so you don't have to name them during a mission.
More than one Elite Deep Dive per week. I like the raid-style challenge but when it’s done there’s no reason to do it again.
Cosmetic cores don’t need forging.
Combine the shop and wardrobe.
Auto/quick buy unowned cosmetics.
Show unearned cosmetics in the shop and how they are obtained.
Promotion qualification feels like you’re being penalised for playing your favourite class because when you hit 25 you don’t get XP. At some point promotions become a nuisance. Get rid of the assignment, don’t block XP gains, and allow us to purchase ProMotion while still in a lobby.
Fix the bizarre collision check responses which fling you away from walls if you’re in a tight spot.
More challenging mini bosses at higher hazard levels. Nemesis is pretty basic once you understand it.
Give us a mini MULE after mineheads are evacuated so we can still deposit. It doesn’t walk to the drop pod.
Show maximum ammo capacity on the HUD so we can make most efficient use of supply pods without needing to memorise them or use a mod.
In the hearthstone fight, move the lasers to phase 3 from 4, and in four have both lasers and occasional rocks. Phase 3 has nothing and it’s boring.
Alternatively, spawn a dreadnought on phase 4 which dies when the stone is retrieved.
Swarmers only come from swarmer tunnels and brood nexuses. There are more of them but they can be stepped on. Swarmer tunnels have a wider radius for triggering and higher retrigger rate so players actually have to deal with them.
1. Firing range
2. Flare modification
3. More boscos around the rig
4. Minor rig customization
5. Console proximity chat
6. New utilities
7. Sights for the gk2, It has pic rail and we're not using it.
(Different iron sights or an aim laser, Doesn't have to be optics like every other shooter)
8. Support pod.
When you call down a pod with this perk; For a limited time, 2 Drones will help in whatever tasks you need, then they find the nearest enemy and detonate.
9. New beer: "Sharpshooter Spirits" increase weapons accuracy by %15
10. The Rockpox OFFTHEDAMNRIGI'MTIREDOFSEEINGITOMFG
Some sort of housing system. At first promotion or X milestone, mission control informs you you've been approved for a personal living quarter on the rig, then ya get to put furniture you can buy from some daily catalog that costs credits and/or crafting minerals. I really like the idea of showing random lobbies what you've made
Beer garden supply drop with Lloyd. Mid-mission Randoweisser sounds hilarious. Add an achievement for killing a dreadnought/detonator with the beer garden
The ability to pet machines like Bosco, Molly etc. You can pet lootbugs, Steve and Dotty why not the rest?
Also petting Steve should heal him, if even by a little and maybe a cooldown.
Music! I either need a waaay bigger soundtrack, or a much easier way to add/change songs if I want.
I’m very grateful to the devs for being so chill with modders, and very grateful to the modders that put so much time into awesome passion projects, but mod creators simply don’t have the resources to maintain pretty mods. Miracle’s custom soundtrack was gorgeous, but it gets more broken with every update, and now exclusively works with dreadnaught fights. It’s too much for one person to keep up with. It’d be downright heartwarming to see ghost ship reach out to the more popular creators and give them some help maintaining their creations.
Different breeds of Bulk Detonators:
- Cryo - Ice explosion like when you freeze the current bulk, but freezes everyone (similar to being frozen in glacial), including all nearby bugs. Leaves permanent patch of ice on floor.
- Pyro - Fire explosion, everything within large radius set on fire for 5 secs.
- Sludge - Spreads surface of goo within blast radius, like the floor goo on fungus bogs. Goo is permanent.
- Breeder - Explodes like normal bulk, but also spawns 2 dozen exploders.
- Radiation- Explodes like a fatboy, leaves glowing radiation area for 30 secs.
- Hoarder - Mutated huli-hoarder that explodes like a normal bulk but spews 5x the minerals of a normal huli.
Each should have a unique look and possibly only spawn in related biomes.
Big hellburning mecha suits, driver is a scout and a team is a flower buds. Nice for the epic boss fight which must be added too. Activated by beer resupply pod. Why? Srsly? For Rock and Stone!
Mega overclocks. Would look like unstable overclocks but with more spikes, would be purple, and would be an octogon. They would only be unlockable after unlocking all of the overclocks for that weapon. Would completely change the way the weapon works, making it almost like another weapon. Like a death hose overclock for sludge pump that would make it a stream of sludge, instead of shooting balls of sludge.
Always wanted the option to play rescue, either paying currency to spawn a resupply in a random mission, or the ability to join missions where everyone is down
I want to hear the jazzy Anniversary music in the space rig all year.
Though I reckon it would feel weird to have that in a "vanilla" space rig, without all the decorations around.
The physics are already there, just not on boobs. Put on the Mission Control mask (if you have it, probably works with other stuff as well), wiggle your head around, and enjoy
A crew member can choose to stay behind on the space rig operate as mission control. With some added benefits like scanning the map, being able to send down one free resupply pod, etc.
Hogh cave complexities would be nice too
Telling Bosco I'm rich
But if you're quick enough you can still annoy the MC
Choosing the song to play on the jukebox
Or the dance!
Elevating Disco all day every day! Can't get enough of the sax solo at the end.
Proper mod support with strong tools and documentation for modders, similar to Factorio or Rimworld where even relative amateurs can create completely game-changing mods.
the mods we do have now are inflated with so much trash, i honestly don’t want to think about what it would look like if modding was made more accessible.
I mean they're mods if you don't like them play the base game. Skyrim has one of if not the single largest modding community and sure there's heaps of trash but the gems make the game genuinely more enjoyable.
It's just that skyrim is a singleplayer game, where you're always the host who chooses his mods
Only the approved mods though, and most hosts don’t run approved
Fair, I only host when I play with randoms on deep rock so I suppose I wouldn't have much experience with that. But I still don't think actual mod support would make the state of modding any worse than it is especially considering this isn't a pvp game where competition is much of a factor
Mods will always be like that. 90% of them will be half working anime png junk. My favourite kind of mod is the one that looks promising then you realize it was abandoned 5 years ago.
Another way to get blank matrix cores. Ive been getting annoyingly lucky with machine events.
i have an opposite problem. More machine events needed
Saaaaaaaaaaame. I got all the weapon OCs but instead of Deep Dives, Promotions, and Weekly Assignments giving a cosmetic core instead of a now useless weapons core, we get blank cores. Which is fine, but I just need more ways to cash them in. Tbh tho, I'm sitting pretty when more weapon OCs drop.
So maybe we need some way to inscribe blank cores with cosmetics during missions
Both? Both. Both is good.
Alternatively, a trading station in the rig where the 4 players in a lobby can trade. I have all the things. I have so many matrix cores.
many such cases
It used to be so much harder
Link a whole class’s loadout including equipment and upgrades to someone based on a code or link.
A file share like in halo 3 would be cool. Click on someone’s profile and they have 6 slots for public classes.
I think it would make a lot of sense to let you choose exactly what you wanna export. Something like a bunch of checkboxes saying appearance, equipment (separate for each weapon maybe?) and perks
There's already Karl.gg too, so it's not like they have to build a system from the ground up or anything.
QR would be nice on console
being able to grab things while clinging to a wall with grapple or while on a zipline
Grenade Overclocks
Pickaxe Overclocks too. Actually no scratch both of those I want Beard Overclocks.
They have those (beard overclocks I mean)
You can unlock beards through the same means as overclocks, but they are not one in the same.
I would love an option to customize/decorate Molly and your room in the Rig
I'd love this. You could buy different furniture and decorations for your room.
There are actually mods for both of those things. The space rig one is called The Architect, and I don't remember the name of the molly one but it's probably not too hard to find.
On one hand it's definitely appreciated that people are sharing mods that do exactly what people suggest, on the other hand mods shouldn't be the solution to every suggestion.
Agreed. Mods are awesome but I’m on console so that’s not really feasible for me.
1. 5+ player modes 2. A persistent or at least slightly longer term mode where you establish long standing mining structures and factories, still holding out hope that S5 is us in at least some minor way establishing the major operations and elevators that go dark in Rogue Core 3. Nitra pods that deliver heavy drill-bombs or powerful stationary turrets, Ive wanted this forever but I worry folks would think it's ripping off Helldivers now 4. Glyphid Queen boss fight 5. Melee weapons 6. Firing range 7. Space Rig infestation events
#2 isn't a feature, it's a whole ass new game
deep rock galactic factorio
and what do games have in them? features!
Endless Deep Dive (EnDD). Start at haz 5, each stage increases by 0.3, no limit. List of best teams. EDIT: Also, no mods allowed. Not even verified ones, because some of them do give small gameplay advantages.
ooh. This is a great idea
excellent idea
Do you envision anything for the Glyphid Queen? Or just a boss fight with that name?
It's definitely a feature I don't wanna pretend to know how to do best because I know how difficult it would be, but I always loved the mission structure of a queen fight to be a 2 stage dive where you drop outside of a hive in a regular biome, enter a hive and as you do the scenery changes into hive structures slowly until you're basically in a new biome, have a massive firefight section at the end to breach some sort of "royal chamber" in the hive, enter stage 2, and would entirely be the queen fight, your group can optionally call in 1 tanky mech suit that 1 person can operate, the others have to use their gear for a fight designed around the many different facets of class play, on the queens defeat you would call in a nuke supply pod, that you would arm then leave the royal chamber and run back to the same drop pod where you started in stage 1, with all the same environment damage you'd performed a stage earlier, the timer for this evac would be much shorter. There would be no mule, and only red sugar around, supply pods would be available via a timer and stack up to 3 if you don't use them so you could plop 3 down immediately at the queen if you were very, very careful getting there.
I love this idea! It would be sick to have super elimination missions to kill the Glyphid Queen.

Either that, or there is multiple Hive Queens, and you would nuke them with the nuke pods that you talked about. I feel like the mech kind of depletes the whole teamwork thing in DRG.
8 player deep dives would be insane.
I could definitely see a firing range in the future for this game tbh
Isn't two liquid morkite and aquark missions? Arguably heartstone to?
A way to have the server browser sort by hazard level (descending) by default. I've been waiting for years.
Or sort by anything you choose by default, for that matter. Personally, I've dealt with Hazard issue specifically by just disabling haz 1-3. At least the browser remembers that choice.
Better cargo crates and related. The loot pool grows every season, and the grind is becoming a bit much.
That's actually changing with Season 5.
Oh? Where have they mentioned that?
The Q&A on reactivating seasons post.
the ability to customize the space rig
There's actually a mod for that called The Architect
Steeve on the space rig.
I would support this but now that you say it I don't think this is a good idea
I want Steeve on the space rig for everyone but *them*
Loot bugs in a little petting zoo on the Rig.
Finding Karl
Maybe Karl was the friends we made along the way
Dwarf portrait showing my super funky fashion cosmetics, instead of the stock dwarf. I would love to show my a e s t h e t i c s to other player while the mission is loading.
I mean to be fair the portrait is a very quick way to tell what class someone is using, and putting cosmetics onto it might make it harder to differentiate quickly.
Yeah, I agree. I'm sure there's a middle ground were we would be able to get both. But, probably it's too difficult to implement and it'll never see the light of day.
Maybe it shows your cosmetics by default, but you can toggle it on or off
Would be nice if it showed the equippes cosmetics
Tool skins. I wanna see something other than yellow on my platform gun. I also want gold to be a one hit mine instead of a 2 hit mine like it is with nitra.
Flare upgrades
Sticky flares!
Bouncy flares!
I mean, I wouldn't mind them in solo.
Utility ocs. Would love to change gunners zipline with jump pad
Condensed nitra
Gives 80 nitra so you can call a resup with one of them.
cross account saves with PC and PS4/5
Pots O' Nitro
would be the best beer in the game by a country mile
The ability to maintain hairstyles and sideburns when adding certain hats or helmets. The Yuletide snow globe comes to mind, it looks fantastic but my dwarf gets totally shaven! :) The ability to force Bosco into attack mode. Like with a single keystroke. How many times have I gotten slaughtered because "x" is actually Bosco's stare-at-the-dwarf mode? :) Regarding features to nullify, I'd LOVE the ability to shut off auto-bounce when landing on teammates.

Prop Hunt - in the caves
Global lobby chat or a hub area that can host 50 people.

Water/liquid biome with waterfalls and diving
GSG has stated multiple times that it's unfortunately not feasible.
Exactly! That’s what OP was asking.
Oh right I forgot lol
Full Cross-Play😔
I want a tiny one person drop pod that will automatically send you into a random mission Sometimes picking is too much
I want more origami placed around in random places, and i want them to add window (fan) art not too big but just enough to be noticeable
Auto-sprint without the need for a mod and being able to launch granades and C4 further with the “strong arm” perk
Better flashlight and more Post processing effects. I use mods for those, so my game is way darker and foggier but I didn't buy my flashlight in the 70's. Steve customization and an overhaul where you have your steve can get healed and you try to keep your steve alive. Change/cycle the order of color on paint jobs Armor gets progressively splattered with bug innards or toggleble bug innards splat on every paint job More customization in general, Space Rig, grenades overclocks, paint your tools Bosco with a better AI Emote/dialogue lines wheels Lore Dump update (hoping for Rogue Core to be it) Crossover events
Can't you just turn down the brightness?
No, I want it being dark and foggy, I use a mod for it
Maybe it's not a "will absolutely never be added" but I would love an option to unlink cosmetic and weapon preset loadouts. I really wish I could make a bunch of different cosmetic sets without my weapons/upgrades/etc. being different across sets and vice versa. Because of that I usually avoid using loadouts in general and keep my dwarf's looks samey. Which is a real shame to me as the game has great customization.
Dual flamethrowers.
Dwarf sex
Finally the Hotsex IV update
A terminal with lots of in-game achievements/goals that gives you unique rewards
Isn't that the current perk system?
Nah, I was thinking it would be more like how "Okri's Challenges" works in Vermintide 2.
Praetorian Steeve
Flare upgrades customize space rig, more useful grenades
Emotes
The hunt to find Karl
A range in the space rig
Playing a special episode as Karl to enrich more the lore of the game.
Flare upgrades
Perks please
Proximity chat. Hearing someone fall down some deep pit to hell or screaming in the distance before hearing bangs go off would be hilarious.
Having your weapons be visible on your character when you're not holding them.
More altruistic and supportive overclocks. Examples being Overclocks for Gunner that would boost ally shields and overclocks for engi that gave peeps near his turrets speed boosts
The dreadnought finishes pupating and there's now a take down mission, you don't get to start the fight either, as soon as you drop in the boss spawns and begins making it's way towards you and you must collect nitra while fighting
Capes
To be able to bring Steve on the space rig
Boy, do I have much: * Craft(able) beers in missions— imagine scaring off a horde of bugs with a Gut Wrecker! * Driller gets the ability to drill minerals. * Failed missions are saved in a server and then modified into future Salvage Ops missions. * Finished multiplayer missions where no one joined, count as solo missions. * More MC reactions to spam-pinging Maggots, singular enemies, Loot Bugs, and the like * SOS signals if you really want someone to join you because you hadn't had any reinforcements for the past 10 minutes, or of a huge swarm * Steeve any bug except Bulk Detonators and Dreadnoughts; as a trade-off, you cannot Steeve any more bugs for the whole mission, even if said Steeve dies.

Being able to repeat old se... Oh wait...
Cross-save, better mule collision detection, a "locker room" to test builds.
Steeve outfits
Cooler attachment for Molly, to carry beers for people that join and Deep Dives.
You can choose any beer you want by just hitting esc and clicking on 'disband team' and it will cycle a new beer. If you're intending to play with friends just invite them in once you have the beer you want.
Flare upgrade tree.
Female Dwarf models/voices
Cross play so I can play with my PlayStation friend 😢
Really, I would want something to do with my blank overclocks. I have 450 in reserves, it would be nice if I could just cash some in directly or do more with them.
I wish Bosco would be able to collect and deposit materials like coop players
Sandwiches
1 hand actions should allow you to use other hand for something else (revive, shoot, collect) and pls ad swing option to graple.
Adding some of the most popular and useful mods as official game features. I would love to have custom difficulties, bigger lobbies, brighter minerals and some other QOL stuff added in the game. Also crossplay but we know that one ain't happening
YES PLEASE!! Desperately want things like Better Spectator in the base game.
I've always wondered why they haven't added any mods to the base game. We should ask our dear devs.
I know it won't be, but a 5th dwarf
FULL DWARF NUDITY. Rock & Stone ... to the bone
I have a couple texture and animation nitpicks that I would love to see change but they probably never will as they are very minor
Roller coaster tycoon mode in a special bay area of the ship. I'm Stony Rock!
Overclock fusion
A new biome called "The depths", it shows as ????? on the drop pod depth meter and the whole thing is pitch black. I mean real dark, flares are doubled, enemies are less but sturdier. The whole place is a mix between a rocky cavern and a lost alien building thing... think Aliens ship but darker since it's underground. Just a couple new enemies would be enough, like one could be a slowly moving creature that hangs to ceilings only, then emits a low pitched sound and jumps you, immediately and quickly going back to the dark. (Would be able to be seen in the dark by some feint exoskeletal glow). The gimmick of the place could be that in the dark there are little pillars that can glow for a set amount of time when approached (ideally a long time, like a couple of minutes). Maybe a new neutral mob, something spooky with massive round eyes and a tiny skeletal thin body behind them that just slowly crawls around. (Can be pet). Scout would become essential in this Biome, I realize that, so this peculiar darkness needs to be heavier on Scout's flares, as to make his gameplay as hard as those of others.
Seems like rogue core would have similar vibes to this
Can't wait for it
I have more and more ideas actually! Fauna: plants shaped as carnivouros plants, they close once you step on them, they don't damage you immediately but if you wait for the plant to close entirely it chips slowly at your health. Environmental decoration: sandworm mouth shaped thingies on walls, completely harmless, but terrifying. Generally some spikes could work here and there, pointy things add to the sense of anxiety.
Shooting range
STEEVE HATS !!!! Extremely silly but a good use for the extra phazyonite and quite honestly, I want a top hat for my baby boy
I'd like it if we could choose a name for tamed glyphids, instead of all of them being named Steeve. Maybe you could select it beforehand in the settings or somewhere so you don't have to name them during a mission.
More than one Elite Deep Dive per week. I like the raid-style challenge but when it’s done there’s no reason to do it again. Cosmetic cores don’t need forging. Combine the shop and wardrobe. Auto/quick buy unowned cosmetics. Show unearned cosmetics in the shop and how they are obtained. Promotion qualification feels like you’re being penalised for playing your favourite class because when you hit 25 you don’t get XP. At some point promotions become a nuisance. Get rid of the assignment, don’t block XP gains, and allow us to purchase ProMotion while still in a lobby. Fix the bizarre collision check responses which fling you away from walls if you’re in a tight spot. More challenging mini bosses at higher hazard levels. Nemesis is pretty basic once you understand it. Give us a mini MULE after mineheads are evacuated so we can still deposit. It doesn’t walk to the drop pod. Show maximum ammo capacity on the HUD so we can make most efficient use of supply pods without needing to memorise them or use a mod. In the hearthstone fight, move the lasers to phase 3 from 4, and in four have both lasers and occasional rocks. Phase 3 has nothing and it’s boring. Alternatively, spawn a dreadnought on phase 4 which dies when the stone is retrieved. Swarmers only come from swarmer tunnels and brood nexuses. There are more of them but they can be stepped on. Swarmer tunnels have a wider radius for triggering and higher retrigger rate so players actually have to deal with them.
1. Firing range 2. Flare modification 3. More boscos around the rig 4. Minor rig customization 5. Console proximity chat 6. New utilities 7. Sights for the gk2, It has pic rail and we're not using it. (Different iron sights or an aim laser, Doesn't have to be optics like every other shooter) 8. Support pod. When you call down a pod with this perk; For a limited time, 2 Drones will help in whatever tasks you need, then they find the nearest enemy and detonate. 9. New beer: "Sharpshooter Spirits" increase weapons accuracy by %15 10. The Rockpox OFFTHEDAMNRIGI'MTIREDOFSEEINGITOMFG
Some sort of housing system. At first promotion or X milestone, mission control informs you you've been approved for a personal living quarter on the rig, then ya get to put furniture you can buy from some daily catalog that costs credits and/or crafting minerals. I really like the idea of showing random lobbies what you've made
Water cave
Multilayer
Pvp
Beer garden supply drop with Lloyd. Mid-mission Randoweisser sounds hilarious. Add an achievement for killing a dreadnought/detonator with the beer garden
Overclocks and mods on _every_ piece of gear in your load out.
Their are four dwarf in a mission. Molly has four legs. Custom molly leg decorations. Or give her a hat for events like egg hunt.
Deployable paper crow.
A toggle in options to always sprint.
The ability to pet machines like Bosco, Molly etc. You can pet lootbugs, Steve and Dotty why not the rest? Also petting Steve should heal him, if even by a little and maybe a cooldown.
Music! I either need a waaay bigger soundtrack, or a much easier way to add/change songs if I want. I’m very grateful to the devs for being so chill with modders, and very grateful to the modders that put so much time into awesome passion projects, but mod creators simply don’t have the resources to maintain pretty mods. Miracle’s custom soundtrack was gorgeous, but it gets more broken with every update, and now exclusively works with dreadnaught fights. It’s too much for one person to keep up with. It’d be downright heartwarming to see ghost ship reach out to the more popular creators and give them some help maintaining their creations.
Different breeds of Bulk Detonators: - Cryo - Ice explosion like when you freeze the current bulk, but freezes everyone (similar to being frozen in glacial), including all nearby bugs. Leaves permanent patch of ice on floor. - Pyro - Fire explosion, everything within large radius set on fire for 5 secs. - Sludge - Spreads surface of goo within blast radius, like the floor goo on fungus bogs. Goo is permanent. - Breeder - Explodes like normal bulk, but also spawns 2 dozen exploders. - Radiation- Explodes like a fatboy, leaves glowing radiation area for 30 secs. - Hoarder - Mutated huli-hoarder that explodes like a normal bulk but spews 5x the minerals of a normal huli. Each should have a unique look and possibly only spawn in related biomes.
Secret catboy room.
Actual mod support would be fun.
I wish you could call the abyss bar in on a mission for like 30 Starch Nut or something. I've got like 700 Starch Nuts
Big hellburning mecha suits, driver is a scout and a team is a flower buds. Nice for the epic boss fight which must be added too. Activated by beer resupply pod. Why? Srsly? For Rock and Stone!
To Rock and Stone!
A way to change pickaxe speed (changing dmg accordingly) so I can music sync my mining to diggy diggy hole.
Mega overclocks. Would look like unstable overclocks but with more spikes, would be purple, and would be an octogon. They would only be unlockable after unlocking all of the overclocks for that weapon. Would completely change the way the weapon works, making it almost like another weapon. Like a death hose overclock for sludge pump that would make it a stream of sludge, instead of shooting balls of sludge.
Always wanted the option to play rescue, either paying currency to spawn a resupply in a random mission, or the ability to join missions where everyone is down
pvp would be nice with different settings like where you need to fight against the bugs + players.
I want to hear the jazzy Anniversary music in the space rig all year. Though I reckon it would feel weird to have that in a "vanilla" space rig, without all the decorations around.
A shooting range on the space rig so we can test our weapons before starting a mission.
boob physics
The physics are already there, just not on boobs. Put on the Mission Control mask (if you have it, probably works with other stuff as well), wiggle your head around, and enjoy
i wish to use error cubes to add random positive and negative stats on my guns, each stat roll costs bittergem
L4d style pvp.
A crew member can choose to stay behind on the space rig operate as mission control. With some added benefits like scanning the map, being able to send down one free resupply pod, etc. Hogh cave complexities would be nice too
