Cargo Crates and Lost Packs are two random encounters. They do not spawn in every mission, but if you're lucky you might get both. Listen for the pulsating sound when you play. It's a clue to their location.

That's just lazy /u/SHOLTY :D
That video is definitely a favorite among the team - and we're planning a more loose competition for stuff like this after launch.
Well, You can just see numbers on steamchart to notice that decrease in playerbase isn't only happening after free weekends. Number's only got "stable" after Sep. 2019 till the recent free weekend. Also, Average player count gets affected directly by people actually playing it while Discord is just one time thing. I joined, but only used once or twice for Miner Union and see changes in Experimental. But still, I'm contributing to the number on Discord. It's like Unique DL and Total DL on Nexus mods. Total DL is certainly an indicator, but the actual number on how many people have downloaded the mod is Unique DL. You can't talk how popular it is just based on users on Discord server. Also, I'm not denying that you guys are spending more money on developing than marketing. It's just that the first, initial ads and marketing failed to build hype or a community to spread info. That, probably everyone who bought DRG early knows.
It's definitely usable as a metric on growth/popularity - as you said, you've used Discord yourself, and you are playing it. You might not be the optimal user, but you are a user. Our potential player base is only growing and the player count is very stable for a game in Early Access. We're very happy with the direction we're going.
I don't agree that the marketing failed - it did exactly what it was supposed to; created a base of users, contributing with valuable feedback letting us shape the game. We're a small team, working fast on updates, and it's been a success since launch. We've built a team of talented people, and we work in a low-stress environment building a successful game that we love playing ourselves... and we're not done. :D

"failed miserably" refers to their advertisement and marketing, not the game itself.
The initial ads didn't bring enough people to make hype for it or make it to mainstream. Then the game kept on failing at keeping people hooked to it even after the first free weekend. And still, to this day, it's struggling to maintain its playerbase. I like DRG and still playing it several times a week, but that doesn't make me say or think that DRG is a successful project or has became a staple in certain genre. It's still developing.
I'm not really sure how you're interpreting that data, but a drop in users after a free weekend is absolutely expected for any game, especially in Early Access. Player count will also rise at each update and then flatten out, and the numbers are consistently stable. In comparison, our Discord has quadrupled in users over the last year - and we're very happy with the growth we're seeing over all the lines. We're not spending a lot on marketing, because we'd rather focus on making a great game for the community, and that's marketing the game for us, allowing us to keep pushing great updates past 1.0.
Suffering from cabin fever, Miners? Management just opened an opportunity to put in some extra hours mining on Hoxxes IV, while you are stuck inside. Make a trailer, win a prize!
Edit: We've added an FAQ here.
I never would have imagined that a a cover of Britney Spears - Toxic would fit the theme.
Good job!
outrageous! I quit. Those leaf lovers won't get to me.
You can't quit! You're hired!
I'm experimental, there was something about new promotion levels (diamond for instance). Are those in, or did they get pushed back?
Also, on experimental, when I logged in I got pickaxe parts for my previous promotions. Are those not a thing anymore?
Both things were pushed, as we wanted to streamline the more and weren't completely satisfied.
Hi u/GSG_Jacob
March store please! We love you and want to support more. I’d buy a beer stein for sure.
But it's April soon!
I play on Xbox and I haven't got the update yet?
Out on Steam only. We're working on getting it on Xbox soon with the latest hotfixes.
You might want to double check the Huuli Hoarder thing. I remember one week's deep dive had one spawning in the starting room, with a chance it'd walk under the drop pod when you land. I restarted several times because having it get crushed by the drop pod was massively satisfying, and it appeared every time.
Same with this weeks elite deep dive. I've done it twice now, and both times a hoarder spawned in the same spot on both stage 1 & 2. I understand it's possibly a super coincidence, but going 3/3 on a Huuli Hoarder spawning/not spawning seems pretty unlikely.I will confirm though, unless BET-C was super hidden, she did not spawn for me on stage 1 of this weeks EDD, which I gotta say, maybe consider adding BET-C spawns to the level seed? She seems like a pretty big game changer, and if the point of Deep Dives is to put everyone to the same challenge, then you'd expect her to be included.
EDIT: Just tested Stage 1 of this weeks EDD 3 times, Huuli Hoarder s...
Might remember wrong about the Hoarder, but there’s been Deep Dives where some got the BET-C and others didn’t, so at least I’m sure about that one :D
I'm not getting anything (and I mean literally anything) from Lost Packs. I interact with them and nothing pops up on screen to tell me what skin or axe part I got. When I get back to the Space Rig I check the number of axe parts I have and they are at the same amount as before, and there's no new armour skins.
This has happened twice in a row now, no new skins, no pickaxe parts, no anything.
Have you checked your pickaxe skins? They end up there too.
Also, you probably know this, but you use the helmet and it gets you a blip on the scanner, which you need to go to. The helmet itself is not the lost pack.
Q-mining was removed as it was an unintended way of mining faster by cancelling the animation.
I’m in this post and I don’t like it.
I did the standard deep dive twice and Betsy was in the same spot last week. Could be coincidence
It can happen since it's not that rare, but previously there's been dives where some has met her and others haven't. Same with Huuli Hoarder.
I put a support ticket up about a long while ago which later got deleted but before that a dev replied asking for my windows config file and dxdiag then explained that the game is running accordingly (as in 60fps) and that the issue is not the games. Ye ye right....
As long as the game can keep 60fps they arent bothered I think but now after this update, I'm getting 30-40fps when waves spawn or a boss does.
The game is so unplayable for me due to the huge frame tanks. I wish they'd fix it as I would be playing it all the time then.
So to clear something up, we are not targeting 60FPS/Hz specifically. We're aiming for as high a framerate we can get, and being a small team, using an external engine, and working in short sprints, not everything will be optimized from the beginning. It's something that we'll work on optimizing gradually, but I can't really promise you we'll ever reach a constant 144FPS performance on your rig. Would be nice, though.
Seriously though, is that a bug or a legit way to crack a gold crassus deposit?
Legit - if something is no longer "connected" to something, it shatters.
We need to be able to reproduce it, so if you're able to help us figure out how it happens, it's way easier to fix. I believe we've already done something to fix it, but it most likely didn't work if you're still getting it in 29.
"By accident"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but betsie is a part of the permanent level seed, so on this week's EDD she's always sitting in that chokepoint on 2nd level. You didn't have a driller, so unless you were willing to pickaxe a long long way around her, it was not an accident, but rather inevitability.
BET-C is not part of the level seed and will appear at random - unless we changed something recently.
