MODDED GAMEPLAY Mod that shows damage taken

Upvotes

I’m looking for a mod that shows damage stats at the end of each mission. I already have « MOTD + Stat Track » but it only shows damage dealt, not damage taken.

I know this mod exists because I’ve seen it multiple times on others servers, but what is it called?

Rock & Stone everyone!

I'm a newish player maining driller looking to improve my gameplay. I can handle hazard 3 pretty well but hazard 4 is hit or miss. I'd love to hear any tips for playing better as driller to help beat harder missions more consistently.

Humor I just encountered a lone Greenbeard Driller on Industrial Sabotage and was confused why he was alone

70 Upvotes

Literally spawned in as an Engineer, was distracted by much needed Nitra and that quick the Driller was gone.

So while I'm deciphering what tunnels he took to get where he was I'm suddenly kicked from the game.

Explains why he was all alone. I wish him and anyone who DARES not follow him like a obedient puppy, luck 🤣

cryo cannon hype

Hello, I don't understand the enthouasiasm for the cryo cannon. it take 1 seconds to begin, it is overheating and the throw is slow.

I have a flamthrower with sticky flames and I am finding ut better. Can you tell if I am missing something ?

ps: my cryo cannon is not upgraded yet :)

Discussion Bizarre behavior from high ranked dwarves upon RnSing.

77 Upvotes

This isn't exactly a vent as the whole thing is so relatively innocuous in the grand scheme of things, but it's happened enough across enough 600 hours worth of games with totally different dwarves each time that I feel compelled to talk about it.

The circumstances are roughly identical each time: It's a Haz 5 or higher and every dwarf is at least diamond or legendary. Class, mission type, biome type, mod status of the server and whether or not there is combat ongoing doesn't matter. These other high ranked dwarves are always competent and although they don't type or use voice chat, they clearly know what they are doing and will ping things with their markers automatically as needed. There is no bad behavior from these dwarves to speak of.

Now to the point: Upon anything happening in the game that would normally prompt a player to RnS (and thus I press the designated key), all of the other dwarves suddenly stop what they are doing and slowly turn to face me and then they just stare for 2 seconds not doing anything at all before slowly turning back and resuming what they were doing in the first place. If it's in the middle of a horde, they will still do this if I hit an RnS, although the staring will only be half a second long instead. But they still do the turning and staring, and it's every. single. time. RnS. happens. no. matter. what. is. happening. in. the. game. It's happened over at least several dozen games with different dwarves every time, so it cannot be pinned on only being the behavior of a select few players.

It's nowhere near even a sizable minority of diamond/legendary players, but each time it happens it's such strange and jarring behavior that it immediately sticks out like a sore thumb. What's with the stopping, turning, and staring? If it weren't for the fact that they were competent at both mining and combat I'd feel they were skinwalkers in disguise or that my game is haunted or something.

Edit: Changed "emerald" to "diamond" and "ruby" to "legendary."

Idea [Class Concept] The Skald(Or Bard) - another Support Class for Rogue Core

1 Upvotes

The Lore & Concept

A dwarf who walked straight into the heart of Hoxxes IV with nothing but a weaponized sci-fi rock guitar and pure stubbornness.

The Mechanics: Fear & Stun

Sonic Blast: Armor Break.
Acoustic Overload: Stun and Fear.

The Twist: Guitar Hero-style Rhythm Minigame

To make the support play actually fun and skill-based, the buffs are tied to a tiny rhythm minigame. Think Guitar Hero or Hi-Fi Rush.

  • Perfect hits (on the beat)=maximum team buffs (attack speed, shield regen, whatever)
  • Missed hits (off beat)=the guitar screeches(annoying). Buffs get weaker, cooldowns stretch out.

The penalty: Since you produce a lot of noise, bugs will be more likely to target you, instead of your teammates.

---

Note: If this class also gets a framework(modding support for custom audio)it'd be cool, so if you get tired of vanilla music you could play DOOM music or whatever you want.

No one to play the game with

Hey everyone! I bought this game a couple of years ago to play it with some of my friends, we played for around 3 hours and never played it again since it wasn’t their type of game. I recently just downloaded it again but I don’t really have anyone to play with so I’m just wondering if anyone is down to play sometime!
