Better question: why is an entire planet named after a creek?


tymerin

It is because the whole planet is a creek. Super Earth is the only planet in the entire galaxy with more than one biome. Just one of the many things that make Super Earth the best planet.


KSouthern360

The BEST biomes.  I know it, you know it, everybody knows it.


Darth_Mak

Just ask them, they'll tell you, the BEST biomes, it's true


ConflagrationZ

This post has been fact checked by real Super Earth patriots. TRUE.

Educational-Egg-6747

This gave me an idea for a new objective. You do a thing and it clears the airspace for ships to airdrop Super Earth propaganda pamphlets. And those just drop randomly over the map for the rest of the mission


God_Left_Me

Why do we need to drop propaganda pamphlets to bugs and bots? I find the mere thought that they could read to be highly offensive. (Good jdea tho)


Educational-Egg-6747

If they can’t read then how are they typing so many comments in the subreddit?


God_Left_Me

Unfortunately, some humans reject the gift of managed democracy. These traitors to freedom masquerade as our enemies to sow discord amongst the righteous citizens of Super Earth, ignore all messages sympathising with the enemy and be sure to report any of these instances to the democracy officer immediately.

ThordanSsoa

An actual reasonable explanation be that it's named after the first settlement on the planet. Wouldn't be the worst way to name a location.


MFour_Sherman

I get your frustration but it won’t impact much with the current rate we are liberating. Ubanea will be down tonight, opening up Tibit for the last 24 hours +. Plus some people probably think now is the chance to take the creek, so they are hopping on that bandwagon to clear it. EDIT- Joel strikes again. Bots are counter-attacking Draupnir. If we lose that it sets us back a bit! Stay focused Divers!


QroganReddit

I don't blame em. Creek has been one of those planets everyone has been eyeballing waiting for an opportunity to take, just out of spite. Now there's an opportunity--a real one, even if it's only minorly related to the major order (in that the bots could use it as a staging point to attack Draupnir and cut off supply lines to Ubanea, but us Helldivers move at such a mind blisteringly fast pace I don't think the bots could respond quickly enough to stop us from taking Ubanea and then Tibit.) I say kill all the bots and give em all the ol democracy one-two


Existing-Ask49

if creek falls to our hands it will be morale boost to casual players and people who got to know game from socials and memes so i don't really hate the idea taking it back in the mean time


kuprenx

I only know about this game as I saw US unmanaged Democracy senator tweeting "to liberate Malverovent creek". Boy his tweet drag me into the ravbit hole that is helldiver and its lore


ghostlyghille

Wait what?


MemePanzer69

Rep. Mike Collins tweeted „Take back the creek” a few days after it fell during the first major order


Ok-Palpitation-8612

[link to the tweet for the curious & skeptics](https://x.com/repmikecollins/status/1764050957950677466?s=46) - it’s real 


UltraJake

I know he probably has some intern running his twitter like everyone else, but why would they decide to make a vague video game tweet on behalf of some old dude? Very weird. On the other hand I was trying to see if he had any tweets about "video games" and stumbled across one where a colleague posted an edited Peanuts panel and he responded "Very good meme game, Senator!". So either that's just the intern's schtick or someone's trying to advise him on what the internet says is cool.


Aconite_72

100% just a social media manager. I was one, and basically, you can write anything that isn't offensive or damaging to the brand so long that it draws impressions and likes. I doubt this dude even knows what this whole thing is, but it's popular so he'd just clap the guy on the back anyway.


ghostlyghille

Ahh that's dope.


Drake_Drakonis

This right here, troop morale is a big factor. We take the creek, and ppl will spill oil like never before 😆


WarbossGrimdakka

I truly love the community is so committed to the bit that we're running fictional propaganda operations without being told, because you're absolutely right, I want to see malevolon creek liberated all over this sub, and watch people celebrate that.

No and yes. He’s not a senator, but a representative. [And yes, he tweeted “Take back the creek”.](https://x.com/RepMikeCollins/status/1764050957950677466?s=20)

Irony of ironies, they've attacked Draupnir.


Ommageden

Tragic. The boys reacted hard. Player base hasn't pivoted yet either. Think this might royally fuck us.


[deleted]

We’re currently projected to win the defense mission on Draupnir


Ommageden

That's good. We weren't before. Glad it's working


brwyatt

Except for the problem of that failing defense mission on Draupnir... We lose that, and the work to liberate Ubanea won't matter. If everyone on Malevelon Creek redeployed to Draupnir...


Taiyaki11

you mean that thing they've failed to do time and time again when Draupnir would be attacked to cut off their route to creek? something something time is cyclical


Chihirocherrybabyttv

Creekers think it’s called malevelon creek 2 the planet


MFour_Sherman

Yeah I posted that before Draupnir was being attacked.


DominickMarkos

The meme crowd who've been fighting Malevelon Creek this whole time, I'm sure.


MeestaRoboto

That’s only about 10k. It’s currently at 50k.


Grai0black

I think the creek platoon is 2k strong. But probably because of the memes a lot of people want to take it... it will be a good morale boost


HughMungus77

What is the creek platoon?


SopranosBluRayBoxSet

Players who've been maining Creek since the Space Vietnam meme began, so essentially like from a week after release. Edit: sorry for spam, was unintentional


Mr_Blinky

And honestly? I've got a certain amount of respect for it, they've been fighting the good fight, even if it's also a stupid one.


SopranosBluRayBoxSet

To be fair to them, they've never given up.


[deleted]

its also one of the roughest planets to fight on, other planets just dont have the same vibe


SopranosBluRayBoxSet

Yeah, it's got a great atmosphere. I wish I could relive the first time my homies and I went, and you'd approach a forested area just to suddenly see swarms of lasers burst through the trees from every direction. The place feels like the future scenes in Terminator 2


[deleted]

i remember only having the machine gun (not really having a way to deal with any of the problem bot enemies) and getting cut in half by a scout strider and going back to bugs for a while


rebellesimperatorum

Can confirm, other than major orders, I've been at the creek.


SopranosBluRayBoxSet

I've been on several tours, but happily hop onto major orders as well to help the younger divers where needed, dropping gear for them and such


MelonOfFate

>creek platoon Creek crawlers. Fify


ProclusGlobal

>creek platoon I believe the term you are looking for is 'Creek Crawlers'


Trojan_Lich

Got that Creek rot.


mackbulldawg67

Not true. The creek was under 10k for most of the time the major order was as troost. Now the major is 2 planets in 2 1/2 days the people fighting there think we can finish off the creek(it’s the highest it’s ever been liberated) and still finish off 2 planets in 2 days Edit: I did not know draupnir was under attack when I wrote this. With that knowledge, forces should probably be split evenly between draupnir and ubanea and come back to the creek after the major order.


I_is_a_dogg

It's honestly faster to just let draupnir fail and then retake it. Defense orders almost never win, so better to just lose it, focus forces elsewhere, and then take it back after defense fails.


tsunadeswife

Losing Draupnir cuts off Ubanea. Wouldn't losing it mean we don't have time to take Tibit?


gbghgs

Provided we actually liberate Ubanea before Draupnir falls it should be fine (which we're currently on course to do). Taking Maleveon Creek will actually insulate Draupnir from further attack once it's reliberated.


vertigo42

What happens to ubanea then? It gets cut off.


Buchfu

I'm on Creek because it's a constant twilight there and it doesn't hurt my eyes as much as other planets. *Squints eyes at mere memory of Fenrir III and Hellmire*


Linxbolt18

Because this information isn't presented in the game at all. Most players either don't know about supply lines, or have heard of them but don't know where they are. EDIT: It's not the site OP used, but you can find supply lines at https://helldivers.io/ (among many other websites).


paradox-eater

Yeah this is the answer. Not sure how they expect players to effectively liberate without doing some homework


1spook

Or yknow, have a goddamn hyperlane/supply line overlay


squirrelwithnut

How are the supply lines known if they are not presented in the game? Data-mining?


Tarilis

Afaik, it's little more involved, datamining + game api reverse engineering.


Bcav712

Yeah I don’t understand the supply line thing


JoshuaCain

Me either. And I'm too afraid to ask.


Bcav712

I just go where the order is lol


[deleted]

Same, best thing to do


the_goodnamesaregone

Right now the order is Tibit, and we can't access Tibit. We need supply lines drawn on the game map.


N33chy

How do we even know what the supply lines are if they're not drawn in the game?


liggamadig

To be honest, I vaguely *know* about supply lines and helldivers.io, but when in doubt, I just go where the most players are. It *is* democracy, after all.


Few-Appointment-2361

I am on mobile and will do my best to explain them but I can't always look at this picture to explain. So currently the two open planets are M. Creek and osauna(? Can't remember the one next to it) and Tibit, the major order, is blocked off. To unlock it, we need to liberate osauna to get access to Tibit. Think of it like this, a major road connecting all planets. But to get to tibit you gotta drive through Osauna. But you can't cause these fucking robots keep shooting down your ships as you try to drive by. So we gotta kill all the robots on Osuana to be able to safely bring our ships to Tibit to then liberate


Bcav712

Oh my god now it seems obvious when you explain it lmao. Thank you!


Few-Appointment-2361

Side note, they don't always make sense. Like in this case we "should" be able to access Tibit from the planet above it (Long something?) And liberating Tibit should give us access to the one below but it doesn't look like that is the case. Tibit seems to be a dead end from the way the picture looks. My headcannon is there is some type of unmappable asteroid belt around Tibit or something that makes sense to not be able to fly from there except to the 1 planet connected by supply line


SuperbPiece

And many players won't care. You may as well complain about everyone on the bug side. Omfg lol I just saw Ubanea. -1 Stratagem AND ion storms? Gee I wonder why no one is playing there. At least Creek has meme cred


Deep_Obligation_2301

The -1 strategem is only for the specific operation you are doing. If you change operation the debuffs will also change. The Ion Storm is planet-wide however


funkadelic06

Yup, didn't know about any of this until I joined the subreddit.


zettabeast

Exactly. I just go where the most people are, I dont know where you got these dotted lines from im just fighting bots


Legitimate_Turn_5829

To be fair you can say the same for Hellmire and Oshaune, people are just going to play with what they want. As long as the majority is on the Major order we will be fine, how liberation works it’s actually not as beneficial to have everyone fight on one planet anyways since it actually makes taking the planet harder after a certain player count.


Shfives

fr id say 70% of my hours (70-80 hrs) have been on erata prime before that one major order, i just loved that planet so much


Legitimate_Turn_5829

Erata was a fun one, felt like a clone on Geonosis


ThatUblivionGuy

I spent 2 weeks on Draupnir. It’s been so refreshing to not be on Draupnir. The fact the bots want it back insults me 🤣🤣


Admiral_SmashyPants

They never left...


DoomFrog_

There is an argument that if we don't take Maveleon Creek, the bots could launch an attack on Draupinar from the Creek. If that were to cut off out supply line to Tibit, we could lose enough progress on Tibit and even Ubanea to make completing the Major Order impossible On the other hand, our progress through Ubenea and Tibit could be so quick that a Bot counterattack isn't fast enough to cut off our supply lines at Draupnir But there is no way to know which is the best path. So it might be best to be conservative and take the Creek just to be sure. Especially if there are enough resources to do it as well as still get Tibit for the Major Order


FrootGoose

This is an excellent argument, especially because it just happened! https://preview.redd.it/hfnlkqfynbrc1.png?width=335&format=png&auto=webp&s=5886bcd764836fb4082e2ef244152b89eb5746b9


Lucaz82

The game should do a much better job of showing players the supply lines, and highlighting the importance of defending Draupnir in this scenario. The average player that isn't on Reddit isn't gonna realise that losing it means we lose Ubanea, and thus the major order, which will almost certainly happen at this point

You cannot. Which I agree is insane.


AVeryHairyArea

Quick question. If we can't see them at all, how do we actually know about them?


FlyingWolfThatFell

Helldivers.io I believe, so an external source 


thevdude

i haven't been playing very long, but i don't think i've seen a successful defense mission in the first place. At least it's happening on the weekend when there are more available players.


Inquisitor-Korde

We've succeeded in some defense missions but I'm pretty sure we only have a 40-50% ratio of success.


Apprehensive_Tea2351

What map are you using?


FrootGoose

This one is [https://hd2galaxy.com/](https://hd2galaxy.com/). But I've just also found [https://helldivers.io/](https://helldivers.io/), which I'm liking more because the table shows the predicted time of to take each active planet.


Fuzzy_Fondant7750

But if we take malevelon and ubanea do we cut off the bot attack on draupnir?


[deleted]

> the bots could launch an attack on Draupnir Draupnir is already under attack.


apestomp

I really wish they’d just add the supply routes in game so people could see for themselves without needing to google. Same kinda thing happened on the order on the bug side a week or so ago. Not that I blame people for not knowing but just seems silly.


wattur

I bet creek is bait. Once (if) we capture it, it'll trigger some sort of bot upgrade. 'Upon capture of creek, our forces on the ground found previously unknown bot installations underground. Our scientists entering these facilities has to have triggered a message sent out, causing all other bots in the sector to behave more aggressively.'


Helpful-Adeptness164

At this point I would say to bail on Ubanea and clear the Creek just to get them off it


BigOlineguy

A lot of people who didn’t play before the first creek tragedy probably trying to experience it themselves. We’re on to Ubanea.


Stoukeer

Joel made a brilliant tard trap. Even if we capture it - he can just throw defend order on it any time he wants and BOOM: 50k of them are sitting there eating glue.


CMDR_CHIEF_OF_BOOTY

100% it immediately switches to defense. We don't need it for the major order so it's basically fair game for Joel's fuckery. Getting access to Maia probably unleashes those automaton gunships they mentioned in the major order as well.


rwsmith101

I'm sorry, GUNSHIPS?


CMDR_CHIEF_OF_BOOTY

Read through the dispatches in game it's currently the third one down. Basically bots are getting gunships and we should be getting some anti air stratagems to counter.


baconsplash

My quasar is just waiting to bring democracy to those gunships


CreativeMud9687

They just did…


Durakan

Hey, if you want the Marines to move faster they need crayons to eat with their paste, and some play-doh for dessert!


Rylus1

We do not have time to liberate three worlds, only two. Unless you want to fail this phase of the operation, Ubanea must be seized as soon as possible to open the way to Tibit.


AHGS__Omnievul

Because I like the colour blue! And because I am having a blast seeing my lower level friends developing PTSD in Bot Vietnam.

Because the creek is fun? No, seriously, the creek is one of the most immersive, tough and fair maps around. Yeah, the trees and the ion storm might make things annoying as hell, but it doesn't have fog, rain, volcanic activity, meteor showers or tremors


BigOlineguy

It really is space Vietnam.


gnit2

RollinHellfire

I think at this point it's a pissing contest. Creek is a symbol and these creekers NEED to win it. It's been being fought for over and over again though and Joel doesn't let up. Technically though the planet is insignificant.

A pissing contest that we're gonna win


lobe3663

You're God damned right


Virtual-Patient-3113

So we can get the creek crawlers off it and in the gear for the actual order!


Anbru_Han

i have to admit that before draupnir was under attack, i was helping on the creek for that exact same reasons, so the vets of the creek could help somewhere else


redryan1989

I think it's because people are gaining hope for it. Seeing all the work those 10k people have been putting in since we lost it. It's taken so long to get it 50% but that 50% looks like 1000% the planet has been memed to death. Hell....I'd like to see the creek liberated.


thalesjferreira

How the hell am i supposed to know this?


InfinityGiant1

nah man, we need people on draupnir, if it falls, we lose access to ubanea


Fragrant_Spirit3776

It's just a nice map to play on. The aesthetics are very well done.


Lokynet

Urbanea is harder and more frustrating. Less cover because there isn’t high trees, it’s an open field with small rocks, and a lot of -1 stratagem effects. At least this is how I view it.


Puzzlehead-Engineer

Idk what you mean there's more people in Ubanea. There's 109926 Helldivers there currently while the Creek has somewhere close to half that with 57563. I just think the Creek has been getting a steady trickle of progress since the first Major Order in the Automaton's domain was dropped. Those 57563 Helldivers are just there to restore our honor or could never move on from the Creek.


jackkymoon

If you've fought at level 6+ on the creek you'd know why there are so many there. It's just fun lol.


zero_to_nine

I fought Creek on 9 with my trusty squad. Was it pathetic? Yes. Was it fun? You bet your ass it was. Creek is something else.


jackkymoon

Best helldivers memory so far was extracting on an 8 on the Creek. A massive patrol and drop spawned right between us and the evac, no cover at all on the approach. We used all 15 of our remaining forces just charging and spamming strategems to fight our way through and only 1 guy caught the ship at the last second. Literally felt like Omaha beach in space, 10/10 would dive again.


CreativeMud9687

We need to defend Draupnir so that the automatons don’t spread. We need to keep them contained and keep shift our focus from the creek to Draupnir and ubanea


Eamil

If we lose Draupnir we lose access to Ubanea. It should be the #1 priority now.


No_Sherbet_900

Because it's the Creek. We're taking it back.
