The guy who makes Content Randomizer seriously deserves a job at Ghost Ship. Dude says on his page that he has multiple disabilities and no job and that donations from his mod are how he survives. And yet the mod is the most expansive addition to DRG since official content.
think of it like this: all the frameworks they give us are the best of the best. All the frameworks we get are so good *because* they scrap ones that aren't as nice
I know that there’s a ton of “scrapped” pickaxe parts that aren’t available to players. They appear on the ones by the pickaxe modification terminal but you can’t use those parts yourself.
9:37 Ghost Ship, if you read this, PLEASE ADD THIS LINE BACK. I've been on a 20 mission long dry spell of no machine events. And i'd love some kind of indicator if ones even in the cave at all.
As someone who doesn't currently partake in the DRG modding community, I am very confused, yet interested by the things I saw in this. Also, that Pre-Alpha screenshot with the hexagon pillars is super cool! I suggested a biome, or sub biome that has formations like that, as its a rare real world occurrence. Neat to see that it was planned at one point, but sadly that probably means its scrapped and never coming.
Lol dude, i just had the exact thought process you did in that first line. I was very confused for a minute before I thought of mods. Duh. I think im gonna experience more of the base game before I delve into the mods for this but seeing some of the stuff he has equipped has me very interested for when I do decide to try some mods out
In case you didn't know, there are a ton of great mods that are client-side only and don't change any core functionality, so you can still join public lobbies as you would normally without your mods affecting progression or anyone else. A couple that come to mind are the brighter objects mod (makes things like fossils and boolo caps slightly more visible) or the damage numbers mod (shows exactly how much damage you and your teammates are doing - nice for testing new builds). Gameplay altering mods (like the one shown in the video) are fun too, but the lighter client-side mods offer a great entry point to DRG modding by adding small QOL changes to the base game. All this to say, don't feel like you need to wait on mods until you "finish" experiencing the base game since many mods just serve to enhance the vanilla experience. Rock and Stone!
"Don't leave me, like you left Karl!" is a voice line for being outside of the drop pod when it leaves, either due to being downed while the rest of the team is inside or due to the timer ticking down to nothing. Other voice lines, such as "Damn you, Deep Rock Galactic!" also play when this happens, but I've heard (but not confirmed) 'like you left Karl' was removed from the pool of possible lines. Rather time-consuming to test, though, because you'd need to continuously reach and fail extraction; I guess duo egg hunt speedrunning time.
I remember first hearing about DRG when the Yogscast were showing it off in 2017 at an early stage in development, because of the channel's long-time connection with dwarves.
My god, that mod you were showing for much of the video with the contagion cleanup mission type looked so good; I unironically thought it was a pre-release concept for season 3 before they decided to turn the mission into a mutator. The idea of fighting in a wholly overtaken cave, where your only source of safety from the zombie bugs and the fetid air, sounds fantastic and so much more in line with the desperate vibe the devs were trying to portray when fighting the Lithophage outbreak. At the moment, I love the concept of the outbreak, but it feels so... gimped. Management tells me how these bumbling half-alive corpses killed THREE TEAMS. I want to feel like I'm fighting for my life against this disease; I no longer want to feel at home in these caves, dammit!
you know a thing we don't have and i want in DRG . i want the driller mech suit . in the really early concept art of the dwarfs . driller was some sort of industrial mech with double drills .
I just want a game mode like an endless like mission. Doretta just keeps going and opening up new areas that have another primary objective (like pumpjacks or eggs) and the previous areas eventually close up. The deeper you go, the more you unlock. Could be a better endgame if done right.
At 6:35, that screenshot is of basalt pillars (or something based on basalt pillars) I really really wish they'd stuck with those somewhere in the game because they're my favorite looking rock formations.
For Gas Extractor, I think one of the concepts for Escort Duty was originally that, every time it stopped, you had to build a pipeline from gas deposits directly to (or from?) the Drilldozer. This eventually became On-Site Refinery and the refueling process was changed to the laser canisters we have now. I don't remember where I heard this info, but it clicked in my head when you described it.
I think "Time? I'll tell you when it's time" is more likely to be used if you are drinking, but the host steps into the rocket (starting the countdown). But I don't know, maybe I'm completely wrong.
I've played near 1k hours and that gameplay confused the hell out of me, but after reading the description im intrigued to try it... as vanilla got a bit stale
Would be interesting to have a rail mission, where you'd have to mine metal ore, depositing them into a refinery, then you'd get material for setting up a railway. Finally you'd have to extract oil shale as well for fuelling the train or minecarts. I have yet no idea what task the underground rail should accomplish. I just enjoy the thought of building an underground railway, and ride it too.
Regarding the voiceline "Don't leave me like you left Karl", I swear I heard it when I started playing the game back in 2019 or so, I've only ever heard it once, though, and never again
A few folks in the suggestions channel in DRG's discord claim that the silicate harvester knockoff with minerals on its back was going to be a sort of mineral mimic. (I personally like the fanmade creature that someone suggested with their own concept art in 2019. the centipede/cobra just looks cooler.)
The background footage is interesting, a rox pox main objective, cleaning a whole cave. Making a new vehicle to help. Please what’s the robot drivers name, and please let him be able to go back to rig. I don’t leave Dorretta. I ain’t leaving a new friend.
Are you going to discuss (in a bit more detail) the 5-year anniversary event and the release of a Legacy version of the game? I'd be interested in your thoughts. Personally, I'd rather play the pre-Alpha version (with the spooky atmosphere and darker caves) than the Feb 2018 release, but that doesn't seem likely.
if they do an art showcase this year I'll probably lump it into that video kind of a dream scenario is that one day they would ask me which 5 builds should go public, one of them would definitely be the pre-alpha
Is there a voice line that uses the word “sh*tty”? Something like “this is a really sh*tty [something]. I swear I heard it in game in 2020 and been searching for it ever since.
Honest question, while the answer may appear obvious, I'm a bit dumb. Why is it you can't show the first playable build? I understand GSG doesn't wish for it to be shown, but is there any specific reason? It has always intrigued me as to why. Thanks!
Hey, Im pretty new to drg, started playing bout a week ago. Does anybody knows where can I discuss my ideas about the lore of the game?(Yes I watched too much youtube videos about it and got excited like a true tolkien fan) I have same great ideas and would like to share them. Maybe get some opinions from other players. Thanks if anybody answers, great vid, you got a new sub.
So they just cut out or oversimplify every mechanic, event and content in general. Them reusing literally everything and not adding things like material interactions between driller's primaries or new mechanics that can't be copypasted from what the already made is honestly frustrating, as I'm struggling to find a reason to play this game, because it just encourages this lazy development style every online game adopted, including the one that usually gets priced for it being the opposite. I.e. rockpox just being a rip off of freezing effect and new enemies just being a recolored versions of old ones (you'd assume they could at least make more than 2 for a season, if they just recolor and slap yellow balls to them). Also battle pass in every game is made for the sole purpose of making it easier to manipulate players to stay longer in your game, which they seem to also switch onto for that reason. They announced that we will get the same "event" when we collect random bs to get double experience for battlepass progression for their 5'h anniversary which tells something not only about their ability to deliver new content, but their priorities and disrespect for their community

ah, thats why i didnt recognize this mission type, sadly when i try this mod my game crashes the moment i step out of the drop pod

Woah! Flappy Bosco has just made a comeback in the form of the new S04 Hover Boots Minigame.
10:26 The last thing scout hears when driller throws c4 at him
I wonder if there’s ever been frameworks that got scrapped…I’m curious to see how awesome they looked, every skin they make is 10/10
think of it like this: all the frameworks they give us are the best of the best. All the frameworks we get are so good *because* they scrap ones that aren't as nice
I know that there’s a ton of “scrapped” pickaxe parts that aren’t available to players. They appear on the ones by the pickaxe modification terminal but you can’t use those parts yourself.
Expect literally every single non-paid seasonal skin
Was super fun to be able to do voice stuff, thanks for the opportunity. 💙
"ROCK AND STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" -very unused was my favorite
9:37 Ghost Ship, if you read this, PLEASE ADD THIS LINE BACK. I've been on a 20 mission long dry spell of no machine events. And i'd love some kind of indicator if ones even in the cave at all.

the custom mission type featured in the video is the first of its kind at the moment, it's pretty cool imo
@@explorianguy is that the mod in the description?
@@HatsOffYT yes it is, tried it out last night and its pretty sick. would recommend checking it out
A drg historian screaming rock a stone was one of the few things i never realized i wanted in the first place
Now i can't live without it
5:46 Flappy Bosco finally made it in as Jetty Boot, it's funny to think of how long its been an idea the devs have wanted in the game

Coming back to this and hearing 5:42 😂😂😂
Amazing video. We'd never get to know any of those things if not for you, thank you for your work on uncovering the history of drg.
I remember first hearing about DRG when the Yogscast were showing it off in 2017 at an early stage in development, because of the channel's long-time connection with dwarves.
I remember the MovieMode as being a dev tool.

That unused voiceline you voiced sounds like it was voiced by the real voice actor! Nice job!
why does lift rocket sounds so cool
now i wanna see it
that would be awesome, they should really think about adding it in sometime
I swear the memorial hall voice lines are real. I remember playing in like 2020 jumping and running and spamming rock and stone and getting yelled at
you know a thing we don't have and i want in DRG . i want the driller mech suit . in the really early concept art of the dwarfs . driller was some sort of industrial mech with double drills .
8:05
I've heard it too, not so long ago. Isn't it still in the game? It plays when evac timer runs out. So it's rare.
Gas Extractor: WE REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS
I just want a game mode like an endless like mission. Doretta just keeps going and opening up new areas that have another primary objective (like pumpjacks or eggs) and the previous areas eventually close up. The deeper you go, the more you unlock. Could be a better endgame if done right.
Monorail actually sounds fun as hell, so i'm glad some ideas from it were used anyway.
That resupply pod at 130 is awesome looking, i wish the devs could change it to look like that.
At 6:35, that screenshot is of basalt pillars (or something based on basalt pillars) I really really wish they'd stuck with those somewhere in the game because they're my favorite looking rock formations.
Now that we know they're working on a new mission type for season 5, I wonder if it'll be an evolution of the lift rocket concept.
Also seems connected to scan areas now that we know it is a vertical escort duty basically, very cool to see.
For Gas Extractor, I think one of the concepts for Escort Duty was originally that, every time it stopped, you had to build a pipeline from gas deposits directly to (or from?) the Drilldozer. This eventually became On-Site Refinery and the refueling process was changed to the laser canisters we have now.

This channel is great. So specific. I'd love to take a crack at a dwarf voice some time if you ever need anything.
so they basically hired you as a (unpaid) dataminer, thats epic
ghost ship games is truly an amazing dev studio
A beacon you say? The borderlands 2 inspirations continue.... (it's my headcanon that this is the next glorious co-op shooter after bl2)
That pre-alpha bug enemy looks SO COOL!! Man, how i wish we could have more unique bug type enemies besides glyphids and mactera.
I've played near 1k hours and that gameplay confused the hell out of me, but after reading the description im intrigued to try it... as vanilla got a bit stale

it has to be some super specific build where they accidentally enabled it
One can only hope that these concepts might perhaps be refurbished into possible future season themes
You should definitely show off this mod it looks fucking awesome
5:42 they finally put it in the game!
lol, reference to that playstation ad animation in the voiceline
rock and roll and stone! love your videos :D

it being a mineral mimic was literally my og speculation, but the fact is we have no solid info on it
ROCK AND STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!

The background footage is interesting, a rox pox main objective, cleaning a whole cave. Making a new vehicle to help. Please what’s the robot drivers name, and please let him be able to go back to rig. I don’t leave Dorretta. I ain’t leaving a new friend.
Flappy Bosco lives on as JETTY BOOT! Hilarious that they finally added it.
And then they did make a flappy bird game epic
cant wait until his video on the early stages of plaugefall developement
5:45 ITS THE JET BOOOOOOTSSS!!!
damn, now i wanna see a lift rockets mission :c
What is the combine harvester type station with the cleaning equipment attached to it? It looks like you can also go inside it?
I'm assuming that movie mode is what they use for making trailers and such.
0:45 what? Rockpox lootbug?
The ultimate lifeform.
mod listed in pinned comment
@@slantedhorses4233 yes I know
I would love a gaming cabinet with múltiple drg pixel games.

Can't wait for season foura trailer hoping either overclock and perks or a new biome or both
A demolitionist class that didn’t make it in?

0:45 is that a rockpox infected loot bug?
It's from whatever mod he's using, I've been trying to track it down but can't
4:57 I haven't seen that before, what is it? The round thing with the amethyst inside, or phazeonite?
Yo but what if Carl was the Demolitionist ?
What is the mission type in the background? 5:00 I have never seen that vehicle or really anything going on in DRG like that before.
Is that resupply pod reskin a mod? Looks rad.
4:30 what is that tank/van thing???
Is it a mod? If yes which one cus this looks pretty cool.
Is there a voice line that uses the word “sh*tty”? Something like “this is a really sh*tty [something]. I swear I heard it in game in 2020 and been searching for it ever since.
Any insight or links to what that DRG Legacy project you mentioned is? My interest is piqued.
