Dang, the official Update posts doesn’t even get this many upvotes.

Taking a mission objective and stuffing it inside a lootbug is unlikely to happen. you monsters
We are still discussing options for the best way to integrate those back into the game
u/GSG_Jacob it seems pretty easy and good for everyone to just add the loot to the pool once the season is over and a new one begins.
We’ve already said that’s a possible option.
Does anybody know if you will be able to transfer save data from Xbox to PlayStation?
Currently no plans for that. That it's possible between Steam and Xbox/Windows store is a happy accident.
I do, as far as I can tell we blew our money.
We’re aware of it - it will be fixed.
Do you actually lose the key? I thought it had infinite uses
It’s never lost.
They may have spawned in a nearby cave, so next time check if there’s a thin wall nearby. We’re aware of the issue. Key is not lost, though. Once you have it, you have it.
Jesus, dude. Take a break! :D
His portrait is pretty stout, with the same double chin that the players have. He never refers to the players as dwarves in a way that implies he isn't one, e.g. "Show them you're dwarves", if anything it sounds like he's stoking some pride in also being a dwarf, though it's a bit ambiguous. The miners never refer to him as anything other than "that guy mission control" so there are no hints there. Ultimately while he is neither explicitly a dwarf or a human(or anything else) he has a couple more clues that make him seem like a dwarf.
Also, I am aware of who I'm talking to.
I’m not saying he isn’t, but it’s heavily implied that Deep Rock Galactic is a mining company hiring dwarves to dig for them, which makes Mission Control anything but a dwarf. I don’t know if that’s canon, but it is implied that the dwarves are hired to do the dirty work, and he’s not out there digging. Also, he lacks the accent and that headset won’t fit those massive ears.
Mr Mission Control ( Robert is voicing him, I'll name the dwarf Robby until official canon/ lore says otherwise ) dwarf isnt that bad of a guy really. After listening to all his dialogue, he seems to care for our fellow dwarfs of all classes, making it back with as little harm as possible. Thoooough he does get a bit frustrated of some of the dwarf bois behaviour. He also might be grumpy due to his bland kind of work. We get to have dangerous, hardy and sometimes fun work in caves and tunnels murdering bugs. Hes just sits up there some levels above us, making sure Management is pleased and we do our jobs along with giving us information on how to do it best.
Also, even if he COULD make life easier for us, well... he got many of not at least on GIANT thumb pressed upon him by higher up Management. The top hat dwarfs says " Make it happen ! " to him and he gives a similar " march " order to us on the floor... and in the caves. Strict rules, strict business.
Why do you think Mission Control is a dwarf?
LMAO, the goblin!
Oh man we have to wait till season 3 for the scientist class? ;)
Get out!
Read moreAs the person who designed the shirt with the giant drill that says ROCK N STONE and also made the "To The Bone" painting that was a poster and a mousepad I had no idea this happened.
Usually ForFansByFans email the artists letting them know when things are changing. I didn't know they'd been bought out by GoodSmile until I saw this thread.
And it appears the two things I made for this lovely game, that I was quite honored got picked to be official merchandise, both got axed and wiped from the web in the transition from forfansbyfans to goodsmile.
This also explains why the two warframe official shirts I designed also mysteriously vanished, as well as the DOTA one.
I can't be too sad cause getting my art onto official merchandise is pretty much the only time in my career as an artist where I've achieved anything without someone else's help. I'm just happy that it happened in the first place.
I'm more perplexed that there was absolutely 0 noti...
I think they were a part of Goodsmile even before we started working with them, they just haven't initiated the merge until now.
You assumed correctly. The website's old name, "For Fans By Fans", does hint at the fact that the designs are made by individuals, in this case not by anyone from GSG. It's just that in the case of copywritten material, the owner of the copyright can either press charges for infringement or negotiate a cut of the profits.
RedBubble works with a similar model: artists upload their art and you can buy it on everything from a laptop case or a throw pillow to a sticker or an enamel pin.
It's both - we supplied a lot of the designs, and fans had a section too.
Redbubble is a bit different, since you can set that up as your own store front and sell whatever you upload. FFxF is/was more of an official storefront handling both official merch and official fan merch, so it's curated and as official as it gets.
It's surprising how few games handle merchandising well. DRG is one where they are absolutely sitting on a gold mine with various mugs/glasses for an adult audience.
One of my daughter's favorites stuffies is her loot bug, and my kids both want a steeve. They would both love red-colored rock candy labeled as DRG "red sugar". And my son absolutely wants some DRG dwarf action figures and has asked me to see if they exist.
I get it isn't the sort of thing that is necessarily big enough to end up in a toy store, but doing smaller runs of toys and items seems like it would be easier than ever these days.
Slime Rancher is another one that comes to mind, especially considering how popular slime is with kids these days. Money left on the table, sadly.
Overall, profit on merch is low - producing a physical product and shipping it is surprisingly expensive to do. If you can't do it yourself, you need to get someone else to do it for you, and covering all the costs of that chain does not leave a lot for profit. It's not the goldmine people think it is.
Slime Rancher actually has a subsection on GoodSmile and I can imagine they're doing pretty good with all those custom plushies.
I thought the merch wasn't made by GSG but was actually designed by fans. A previous post said that non of that merch was actually official, but it is unofficially endorsed by the devs.
I could be wrong of course, since I only recently found out about it.
A lot of it is official, but FFXF had a thing called Fan Forge, allowing people to submit their own designs.
Really exciting news! I noticed no mention of a new mission type. I’m curious if Season 2-3 will build off the story of Season 1? Will the industrial sabotage mission go away? It would be super cool to keep building out this story.
Thank you devs for making my favorite game! Rock and stone!
Can't talk about theme and story yet, but we have said that we most likely won't do a new mission type ever Season due to the work needed to do so - I think the post covers that.
Man, if you confirm PS and Steam crossplay, I'll double-dip day one. I'll finally be able to rock and stone with my gf!
Currently no plans for crossplay - there's a lot of differences between the console version and the Steam version.
Also, you should rock and stone with your girlfriend anyway, but do so responsibly or you might get gnomes.
