I was not completely clear, sorry. I meant the auto-generated assignments and assignments that are looking for missions with random warnings.

The season assignment specifically looks for missions with the lithophage warning and as such you would want the seasonal content activated for those, otherwise it could take a long time to complete them as you will rely on rng to create a lithophage mission which is not very likely.

That said, I would expect most players who reach lvl 100 in the performance pass have also done the initial season assignments...

Rock and Stone!

The lithophage missions are extras added to the map. If you toggle the seasonal content off, those extra missions are removed from your map and will not be selected for assignments.

Things like events (corruptor, meteorite) are controlled by the host so the probability of seeing one will depend on weather the host has the content on or off.

Yes, to the same level as a rival prospector is now. I don't remember the exact value but it's very low.

Your assumption is correct.

Just to clarify, it's not completely going away. The option simply sets season 3 and 4 content to the same spawn chances as all the season 1 and 2 content. You can still get a meteorite strike but now it will only happen as often as a rival data tower event.

The ones in the performance pass/cosmetic tree go into the normal loot pool. The ones in the upcoming weapon maintananace system, will stay in that system.

While a new paint job will be added each season, your progress in it will not reset. The new paint jobs are just added to the end of the list for each weapon. It's a completely self-contained system.

Yes, all three.

No, the spacerig will stay the same. The season terminal will also still function the same and you will continue to earn season xp, etc...

Seeing as I am responsable for a bunch of those typos in the first place...

Keep in mind we are still finalising the implementation and stuff may change before the update drops. That said...

In S03 and S04 the many missions with the lithophage warning are extras that are added on top of the usual missions on the map. When you disable seasonal content these extra missions are removed from your map. They will not be part of any assignments or anything else.

However if you open the server browser you will still see and can join a lithophage mission (even though its not on your map)

Since the host computer controls all event chances, wave spawns, etc, if you join someone who does not have the seasonal content turned off tat mission will play like a normal S04 mission (regarding lithophage event chances and rockpox enemy waves)

As for missions that you host, they are just the same missions that all players have available except that there will be no chance for rockpox waves and the chance of lithophage events will be the same as ...

The initial prototype and visual concepts are hard work, but they are not what makes DRG weapons so prohibitive to develop.

On the design side the biggest killer is the mod tree and the balance of all the various options.

On the art side its all the frameworks. And the art side is continuously growing with every new framework we add to the game.

Our plan for RC is to make the development of new weapons a relatively smooth and short process.

Thanks for playing!

Leave no dwarf behind. Rock and Stone!

Congratulations miner, well done. Rock and Stone!

Same.

Welcome aboard miner!

Rock and Stone! This is amazing! Just wow.

So just to clarify. This exploit existed in the game early on and was fixed a long time ago as it messes with the extraction part of some missions. It has now come back in S4 because we were trying to improve escape pod landing locations (it was sometimes coming down in really bad spots). We are looking into ways of fixing it while keeping the new improved escape pod logic.

These are so cool!
