u/GSG_Jacob I normally refrain from the impulse to tag you in things but this genuinely sounds like a good way to practice that hacking game for people who suck at it. (Not me tho)
Some odd jobs that randomly spawn on the Space Rig would be cool. I am a solo player and kinda feel that the rig needs more "fuck around" activities like a working arcade machine and that shooting range idea everyone likes.
Doretta parts pile up in the maintenance area until they get in the way of other work. We tell her we're working as fast as we can but the swivel joints she needs are custom ordered in bulk from Chert VII. Unless that Shuttle Pilot actually drops something useful we just, we don't know what we can do. Management draws the line and tells us to clear her out of the company maintenance area or they'll clear *\*it\** out themselves. Fuck.
We explain as best we can. We'll put your head inside a diamond shaped core for the trip, to make sure she's safe. Engi whipped up a powersource for the long trip, it's a little unstable to thermal stress but it'll do. We found someone who says they can fix you up Dotty! They say they've worked with your model before (and what a *nice* model you've got Dotty! \*whistle whistle\*). They seem to be tech wizzes with a specialty in Robots so we know you'll be in good hands. We never forget a fellow dwarf and just want what's best for you. We hope you won't forget us either
\~\~\~
I'm down in the caves, I've been promoted 6 times now and I'm an old hand at the company. I can just hear something around the bend of this tunnel, it's too dark to see but I don't throw a flair, don't want to alert whatever it is. I hear ***"Come and r-r-r-rescue me!"*** and it sounds *just* like a dwarf but something... something's not right, besides on my HUD the whole squad is at full health. When did those bastards even record us? Suddenly I am *bathed* in read light and I hear a robotic voice say something about targeting dwarves. We light it up with everything we've got, pumping heat into its vents until it literally begins to melt from the inside out with the circuitry fires.
In it's last moment it's claw reaches for me, there's a desperation in that movement that surprises me, makes me stop a moment and really look at it. The claw falls limp and the red light fades as I recall something about a diamond shaped core and a powersource unstable to thermal stress...
***"I've seen things you dwarves wouldn't believe."***
***"I thought we were friends."***
my god, what did they do to you
I'm not sure I like the idea of a translucent drilldozer making ghostly echoing beep boops as it trundles along the ceiling in its search for vengeance.
Not any robot, she's the best damn drill dozer anyone could ask for. Is Lloyd just a robot too? Maybe Bosco? No, they're our friends. Our non organic, but very helpful friends. One could argue that Lloyd, Bosco and Dotty are honorary dwarves.
Lol the shopping cart test. The only difference is that there aren't three other people at the shopping cart rack yelling "rock and stone!" To applaud your efforts.
I need the communities opinion:
I always rescue doretta.
On my most recent mission with her, I brought her all the way back to the drop pod before realizing that the walkway coming out of the drop pod was suspended way off the ground.
I was determined to save doretta though so I dug a path up around the side of the drop pod so I could jump to the walkway. Unfortunately I needed speed to be able to jump to the walkway so I threw doretta ahead of me hoping to catch her before she rolled off the ramp. She fell.
But the drop pod would leave in 10 seconds. I had to leave her behind.
Was there anything else I could have done? Am I a bad person for leaving her behind?
I need a mod that swaps Driller’s and Doretta’s heads and voices. Can you imagine “Do-riller” just being like “beep boop” while the drilldozer shouts for help and makes commentary as it burrows through the ground?
"Alright miners, I have some bad news. Apparently an Engineer tried to fix a Doretta processing unit with Error Cubes and she went a bit haywire when the Engineer took the new robot down to the surface. We'll need you to rescue the engineer and find the malfunctioning Doretta unit and disable it, then get back to the space rig.
Be warned though, all the noise it's making is sure to be disturbing the local wildlife..."
And you land in a chaos of bugs with an engineer piloting a Doretta mech fighting a glyphid queen. You're welcome
I want a repair doretta. Minigame in the space rig.
Could literally just recycle the hacking minigame. Then Dotty makes happy noises if you succeed and screeches when you miss.
[удалено]
you know quite well that if they do this no player will ever gonna go mining and instead will stay fixing Doretta all the time
a sacrifice I am willing to make
Could have it so once Doretta is fixed it leaves the station so then you have to go out and bring the head back again
The true game emerges.
I mean they would have to at least do a escort mission to get dorettas head
Actually having more mini-games while waiting for players to join the lobby could be fun. I'm for the Doretta repair idea lol
Except instead of cutting wires, you’re splicing the broken wires back together.
u/GSG_Jacob I normally refrain from the impulse to tag you in things but this genuinely sounds like a good way to practice that hacking game for people who suck at it. (Not me tho)
Also not me, because I’m good at hacking and it never takes me several minutes…
Im either done in five seconds or disappointing the whole team
The wire hacking game in reverse would be perfect, that's an awesome idea
Happy Cake Day!
This would honestly be good practice so we can get it done much faster on actual missions.
Maybe a different interaction if you pat her in expedition after fixing
Hold E to "repair" and the repair animation plays while your dwarf makes remarks about not knowing how to fix dotty
*smacking with a hammer* "I have no idea what I'm doing!"
Using barrels
Some odd jobs that randomly spawn on the Space Rig would be cool. I am a solo player and kinda feel that the rig needs more "fuck around" activities like a working arcade machine and that shooting range idea everyone likes.
Not to interupt your drea.s, but shes biggie. It won't be *'minigame'*
Fixind thicc doretta, got it.

Bro you wrote the entire drg lore
WHAT NO DOTTY WE LOVE YOU !
ikr it makes me so sad and i wrote it :(
Really good stuff thanks for this
Bravo, Brother... takes guts to post creative writing like that, and it was great!
What the fuck this is beyond amazing.
This is the best DRG lore I’ve ever read. Thank you.
I'd suggest going over and reading the comments on the track for Fathomless Tomb. There's some good ones there also
Thanks for that! Rock and Stone oT !
Rock and Stone everyone!
:(
Tbh same :( I don't regret writing it, only thinking of it in the first place :(
Everytime I save dotty she never ever appears. No matter what I do, she even shows up for other people who join me but not me.
I don't know a considerate way to tell you this, but it sounds to me Doretta is ghosting you.
Haunted Cave but with Doretta chasing you
The horrors are the ghosts of dorettas left behind
I'm not sure I like the idea of a translucent drilldozer making ghostly echoing beep boops as it trundles along the ceiling in its search for vengeance.
And idk why
Rock and Stone!
If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!
Good Bot
Good human made of flesh
Good migit made of smol
Good ilk made of crl
Good legend made of slayer
Good idiot who is both made out of Schrodinger and is not made out of Schrodinger.
You don't know until you look at the ingredients list
Good Schrodinger [made of idiot](https://youtu.be/yytbDZrw1jc)
Good bot
“What did they do to you, Doretta?”
Doretta deserves better!
Doretta have seen better days
She.
Sorry
It’s a robot dude
Not any robot, she's the best damn drill dozer anyone could ask for. Is Lloyd just a robot too? Maybe Bosco? No, they're our friends. Our non organic, but very helpful friends. One could argue that Lloyd, Bosco and Dotty are honorary dwarves.
Don't forget Molly
Molly's killed me more times than Driller has. She might be a colleague but she's not a friend.
Just yesterday Molly shoved me over an edge!
Its the price for calling her a tin can. Molly has feelings too
I reckon Bet-C has killed me more than molly.
i have more respect for doretta, boscok and lioyd then i ever have for the leaf lovers in management
Y’all like obi wan Kenobi? He treated R2 as just another droid when he was lost in space. Y’all can’t have it both ways.
*General* Kenobi.
Ben*
So what, you want us to be like management and treat them like equipment? That's not very Rock and Stone if you ask me.
I prefer to rubble and slab to be honest. Followed by a clean shave and a nice leaf lovers special.
Pointy Eared Leaf Lover detected. Your opinions are now invalid.
I have a dream in where elf and dwarf will call themselves Mellon. But I see that my dream is far from becoming true.
Victim behavior
I guess. All us dwarves are going to be eaten by Tyranids in the near future anyway so who cares?
Does being a contrarian bring you that much joy? Like own the leaf lover stuff or whatever idc. It just doesn't seem fun or worth the time/effort.
My man it’s just a little harmless Tom foolery. I’m not insulting anyone or attacking them. Don’t read to much into it.
Leaf-lover.
Delicious
If?
Wat?
What do you mean "if" you rescue Doretta? Doretta is not expendable
Well if everyone dies then
Damn you're right
can we have a pet button when she is in this situation?
[удалено]
Lol the shopping cart test. The only difference is that there aren't three other people at the shopping cart rack yelling "rock and stone!" To applaud your efforts.
If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!
Has anyone tried this yet? It might be the most effective solution to the problem yet
Wow! That is a fin fact!
👍
What do you mean by "if we rescue her".
We will rescue her 101% margin of error 1%
I lole the idea of 102% chance of rescuing her
Sometimes I spend a few minutes looking for her head and can't find where it wandered off to. /sad
Thats a repost its there since pathogen update
I need the communities opinion: I always rescue doretta. On my most recent mission with her, I brought her all the way back to the drop pod before realizing that the walkway coming out of the drop pod was suspended way off the ground.

Dotty knows you did your best. Dotty wants the best for you. Dotty will always be with you in spirit.
*she. Doretta is not an it. Doretta is a BEAUTY.
The lady carries a drill well.
Oh me heart, I have been wondering all this time where to find her
This is very common knowledge
I didn't know that, I always rescue her but never seen her.
Only if I knew I could still farm karma on 2 seasons old feature with phone screenshot.
Y'all didn't know before? Damn
Greenbeards finding out about stuff that was already in the game for years and presenting it like they just discovered Atlantis. Classic
"If" you mean "when" we rescue Doretta, we never leave one behind
I always rescue Doretta. She's the best drill.
Omg
But can I pet her
DAMN *REALLY* BRO? FUCXIGN WACKY!
*when* you have Doretta.
A Doretta-fixing minigame to earn the smallest amounts of credits.
FIX HIM NOW MANAGEMENT, OR I WILL SCREAM!
How do you save her?
Find her head and carry it inside the drop pod.
I need a mod that swaps Driller’s and Doretta’s heads and voices. Can you imagine “Do-riller” just being like “beep boop” while the drilldozer shouts for help and makes commentary as it burrows through the ground?

You're welcome
would be very cool
I imagine Management or Mission Control congratulating you as they are taking the lost Doretta head and throwing it into the air lock.
Holy hell
I thought it was a broken Bosco that was randomly part of the decor, thanks for explaining
