If the former, is it possible to get mods that don't lock out your save -- e.g. modding support for custom jukebox songs on the space rig wouldn't allow you to cheat anything, but wouldn't lock you into the modded realm also? Or perhaps for mods that change the texture of weapons (since this wouldn't be a cheat either)?

I believe you can progress, but only in modded games. It’s a safety precaution since it’s easy to mod in extra resources, and we don’t want anyone to have their game ruined by something like this. Cosmetic mods shouldn’t fall into this category.

Depends on what you want to do. You’ll probably need to learn a bit about how pak files work in Unreal.

To clarify, the official mod support will include three mod categories; "cosmetic", "serveronly", and "requiredbyall" (names are not final).

Cosmetic mods are mods that only you can see. This could be minor UI changes, HUD modifications, anime profile pics, or meme sound bites.
Server-only mods are mods that change the basic rules of the missions, like the amount of gunk seeds in the level, nitra- cost for resupplies, etc,
Requiredbyall mods are mods that will change the character, like giving the engineer more turrets, etc.

Cosmetic mods will have no influence on gameplay as such, and will not be separated. The other two categories can change the gameplay and will prompt you to play on a separate save game, either a clone of your unmodded save or a fresh save. You can always copy your unmodded save to a modded save slot, but not the other way around.
Modded savegames can't see unmodded games, and unmodded savegames can't see modded games. The idea...

Even with a deep dive full of nitra I don’t think you could get this much. But I have seen something like this in a modded game

It’s possible. With two players they’ll have a surplus of nitra at the very end, and if the scout doesn’t take any of the supply drops, each supply drop will let him restock to full twice and they can have around 10 drops at that point.

I kinda wish stats were removed at the end for this, people would focus more on the mission then padding a number. At least some people anyway. Revives/Downs could stay though since it's more general. Damage done would be better than "kills" if we really must have a number for it.

And this is why there’s no distinguishing between what you kill. Everything is 1 kill to avoid people tallying and ranking themselves more than necessary. In the end, it’s not about killing things, so the stats are kept simple and for reward reasons.

You complained about this a year ago too, and we actually did lower the frequency of those voice lines as a result. Some were also removed.

However, I feel like your perspective is rather narrow on this. Yes, there are a few references to memes, but even more so to movies and other pop culture references that are a great big part of the era and background that's inspired a lot of the feel of Deep Rock Galactic.

I would like to absolutely debunk any impression that we're targeting the 14-year-old Fortnite crowd. That you feel they're out of place with the game's theme is weird, because there have been farts and burps from the beginning. It's never been meant to be a grimdark universe - you can get that with Warhammer. Deep Rock Galactic is born from a love of core co-op mechanics and a bunch of classic sci-fi movies, and the humor space will reflect that in many ways, without necessarily being locked into that era specifically.

Well, this used to be a community that stuck together and it's affirming to hear stories from everyone lifting each other up. As the old times slip away from us, while the game gets inundated with cheating, shitty players, and 14 year old memelords, we'll see that tight community hang on for dear life until it turns full scale into anime horny shipping ms paint porn and a shitty global player base garbage dump.

Forgive us for trying to avoid that as long as we can.

We will prevail.

Fun fact: The loot bug sounds were made from sounds samples of the sound designers kids.

You can't kick people once the button is pushed, so...

Anyway, voting is probably not going to happen - it's impossible to do a reasonable voting system in a game with 1-4 players. Instead, we encourage people to communicate. Your urge to keep playing the mission doesn't necessarily take precedence over someone's urge to finish it.

This is definitely one of the reasons we don't go numb from streaming it twice a week.

Overclocks are gated by weekly login AND rng. While I could deal with one:
- Weekly unlocks, time needed to unlock, but get to choose.
- RNG unlocks, but can keep grinding for more.

Having it both gated behind the weeklys AND gated by rng (even if blank cores are 75% to atleast be the right class) it was enough for me to purposely seek out and use a save editor to give myself 2 OCs of my choice. If it was any of the ways above instead of the double-gated unlocking i'd never bothered "cheating" to get my stuff.

I remember some time ago when I cheated in Darkest Dungeon (Singleplayer Dungeon Crawler) and gave myself tons of resources and it ruined the game for me. So I was somewh...

I can see why it can be somewhat frustrating, but it’s IMO a very light gate. With the blank cores you do have the ability to push your rewards somewhat and you’ll get quite a few each week. I believe we chose to do this, because we wanted something that people could talk about - you now, those watercooler moments. Before the Deep Dives there weren’t anything that people could share outside the team they played with but these Weekly events have IMO been invaluable for us. We have people that still talk about specific Dives they did that very especially hard to complete, and that is really rewarding. Sure, some games let you pop the seal on all the content and grind it through in a week, but that’s not really what DRG is all about. The overclocks are fun additions, but they’re not the goal, and to be honest, I collected them all pretty quick by just playing the Dives on our stream + the occassional Weekly core Hunt assignment. I only have driller cosmetics left to collect at this po...

I have no idea about Denmark (where Ghost Ship Games is based) but in german there is the saying "as rich as crassus" when you talk about someone stupidly rich, so Crassus is the stereotypical name associated with money, not midas.

edit: TIL Crassus and Krösus are different persons that were filthy rich and had very similar names.

We do, and initially I thought that was the actual reference the guys came up with, but it turned out it’s a different guy with a very similar name. In Danish he’s called Krøsus.
