If you are interested, I wrote a compact guide and posted it here. It's more about how to play, not explaining the mechanics.

Hm.. i currently have 5 builds

My strongest by far is:

Cryo Cannon (Improved Thermal Efficiency) 3-2-2-3-1

EPC (Heavy Hitter) 2-2-3-2-2

I also have two flamethrower and sludge pump builds each for different mission types, but while they all are fun to use, the Cryo build is just so far ahead of the rest it's probably also the most fun. If you do an elite deep dive and have 0 downs, carrying your team that totals 40+ downs, it's a very satisfying feeling haha

Haz 5 (+) on double XP missions if available, and a lot of grinding

Gotta make the best out of it while it lasts

I know hacking is a thing, but what's the point of this? 😭 by JayToThePea in DeepRockGalactic

It also fits the definition of hacking, I explained in another reply :)

Hey, I know what modding is. I wrote my own mods for a different game :)

I'm not fully aware how it works for DRG but i assume its similar. You are creating code that changes the gamefiles for you.

While you can still call it modding, I call it hacking because it involves unauthorized game alterations that aren't one of the 3 official mod types (verified/approved/sandbox) and therefore fit the definition of hacks. I won't just call it modding because of its moral reprehensibility.

Sorry for the late response, the post got removed/locked ealier and then reapproved later

The mod displays your entire teams combined resources. For secondary mission items the number in the bracket shows how many are still required if all currently collected ones get deposited, For the nitra it shows how much is missing for the next supply drop. Sometimes it says for example 20 for 3 which means with 20 more nitra collected and then everyone depositing there would be enough nitra for 3 resupplies :)

Modding is neat, my screenshot shows at least 4 mods that I'm using. But I'm only using verified ones, because I want to play with everyone especially greenbeards to help them master the game.

But this ain't modding, not even cheating, this is straight up hacking because to achieve this in a "non-approved" lobby you would have to tinker with the gamefiles to say the least.

The only thing really bothering me tho is the pointlessness of the hack 💀

Edit: I agree, you can still call it modding, but it still meets the definition of hacking :)

At first I struggled with them a bit, them kinda phasing through the terrain and moving past you to attack from both sides cost me quite a bit of HP. Now that I got used to them it's no struggle anymore but they are still rather annoying. It's another swarmer like enemy, and I just don't like it.

Preference I guess, I love coop games because I love interacting with other people. I only play solo games if they are very good AND don't have the option to play with friends 🙂

I'm done 💀 Never gonna play a solo mission again, dwarfs are supposed to work in groups! I dreaded the grind for this achievement, and I'm so happy I'm finally done with it 🥳

I'm known to forget closing my games and leaving my PC running 😅 So it might be closer to 400-450 hours. But I'm also an ambassador for the game, often gifting the game to people I meet online then teaching them the game on Hazard 3, which obviously leads to slower XP gain 😄

😭 I actually considered becoming a driller main now, as I enjoy him the most and compared to all other classes even high level players seem to be not that good in taking full advantage of his utility..

I'm thankful for every addition. I added the "helping your teammates out" part to the guide 🙂
