1.0 is here. Everything is great. Everything has had a polishing pass, and while there's still a few things that need ironing out, and some balance tweeking, I'd say DRG is in a fantastic place.

But one thing stands out like a sore thumb..... Is how molly magically leviates in and out of the drop pod at the begining and end of every mission.

It just looks so..... Unfinished. How could they go about making it look less.... Janky?

An idea my friend and I had was that molly would be delivered by its own drop pod, much like a resupply pod, that would land next to the dwarves at the begining of the missions, and it would get into it, and take off when the dwarves take off at the end. Don't even need to animate it or anyrhing, have it already be there when the doors open, and as the doors close just have HQ say "molly is on her way home, good job miners".

Oh it's extremely dodgy, fully agreed. It was one of the things that got slashed for launch as "non-essential" when this whole pandemic thing came up, but it's absolutely on the list still. Not to worry, we have a plan - it's just not a trivial task. :)
