It is a sad truth that mineral distribution in nature is rarely 1:1. This is also true for Hoxxes IV. Some minerals will be more rare than others, this is a simple, geological fact.
This is why Management was magnanimous enough to introduce the Mineral Trade for the benefit of our valued employees - sell what you have in abundance, and buy what you need.
Management continues to be flummoxed at the Dwarves' capacity for bonding with inanimate pieces of equipment. Bringing the Drilldozer's CPU core back to the Space Rig is an entirely voluntary action on the part of our employees, and not one DRG wishes to encourage through compensation.
What's worse, upon returning the damaged and useless equipment, they display it openly on the workshop floor, as if it was a prized object or a pet. Mindboggling.
Hello, Miner!
This kind of social anxiety is not something to be ashamed of. But it is a great shame to let it keep you from delving with your most excellent fellow dwarves!
This is part of why we have tried to design the game to be played entirely without Voice if so desired. Through judicious use of your trusty Laser Pointer, emphatic tapping of your V key, and keeping an eye on Chat, you should be fully capable of going on team delves without uttering so much as a word.
I urge you to give it a try - join random missions with open slots, throw a few Rock and Stones at your fellow dwarves, and you'll be co-opping in no time. The worst that can happen is that you find out that it's not for you, and you can return to your solo delving.
Best of luck.
Rock and Stone!
Thank you for your post, Miner! As you yourself point out, the game HAS been built primarily with co-op in mind. We have not and will never cater as much to the solo crowd as we do the team crowd - for the simple reason that DRG is first and foremost a co-op game. Even so, we are well aware that we have quite a few solo players. And we do care about our solo players. I myself am primarily a solo player.
Since the game's inception, we've relied a lot on player feedback. Legitimate and constructive criticism remains an important part of how we improve and expand the game to this day. For instance, the toggle to bring Bosco or not was added after discussion with solo players that asked for the extra challenge of being completely alone in that way. And our reaction was "sure, why not". So we welcome and embrace posts like this, combative tone or not.
We've not heard a lot of complaints from solo players for a long time though. And apart from what appears to be a request...

Yo, who are the voice actors for the dwarves? My favorite is the “Rock and STOOOOONNUH!”
Our talented and longtime friend Javier voices all four dwarves.
YOU ARE JEOPARDIZING THE MISSION, MINER! GET BACK INTO THE TRIANGULATION ZONE!
Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined our little dwarf game would enable this kind of thing one day. Thank you, Wind Rose. Thank you, Miners. Almost brings a tear to my eye. :)
Hoxxes IV is under the legal jurisdiction of the Deep Rock Galactic corporation. As shown in the case of the Rivals, we are prepared to protect our investment with all means at our disposal.
So does the Rival company own a different moon, or are they traveling from extremely far away to get here?
Their point of origin is unknown at this time. But they do not have a permanent foothold in the system. They are attempting to make one on Hoxxes IV.
What happened to the previous 3 Hoxxes?
Oh they're still there. They're just not useful in the way Hoxxes IV is.
Hmm. I'll send this on to the Right People. Thank you for the report, Miner.
You're not reading too much into it, it's a pet peeve of mine too.
My internal head canon, but not something we've ever gone deeply into in the game:
Hoxxes IV *IS* a moon of the greater gas giant Hoxxes Prime. Hoxxes Prime orbits the star Creus, and Hoxxes Prime has many moons.
In an optimal world, the ingame skybox was updated to reflect this. The skybox was made before the "4" was added, I believe. Maybe we will in time.
You aren’t gonna smite him or anything, are you?
Naw. But he can have a pat on the head. Kobolds are cute little fellers.
Absolutely not. But I suppose I can't stop any of you from modding it in.
Bold of you to assume I ever sleep.
Hee hee. :D
The game was rigged from the start.
One of your fellow dwarves has already answered about the Paintjobs, so I won't repeat them. But I can tell you that there is no Weapon Framework in the Order of the Deep Pack - our Packs tend to be one or the other, focused either on Armors or Weapon Framework, not both in one. This is the list of content, directly off Steam:
We should have some help on that front coming in one of the upcoming hotfixes, Miner!
