I. The Driller initiative



- When the mission ends this is the moment when the real work of the driller begins : he will have to take "the initiative" and drill to the drop pod for his team




- Be sure to have enough fuel to drill to the drop pod you don't really want to be stuck in a tunnel with a Glyphid Oppressor just behind you (calling a supply pod just before the initiative is a good idea)






WARNING Do not use this strategy during low oxygen warning missions
II. Players status



Look at the players icons on the bottom left to see if they are being attacked or grabbed


if it's flashing red, it means your teammate is taking damages




If it's flashing green, it means that your teammate has been caught by something you better go help him










III. Minerals Tips

1) When you are digging to find a Jadiz or another big minerals sometimes it can be hard to find at this moment just turn off your light (holding F) you'll be able to see the light that the ore emits





2) When you are mining a minerals always start at the bottom, the top of the minerals will fall and you'll collect it, by doing this you'll save some precious time





3) When you are mining and your bag is full, finish the minerals, it will drop the rest on the floor and your teammate or yourself will take it later




IV. Teammates Tips


1) You can bounce on your teammates head to avoid from all fall damage, it also works on some enemies like Praetorian



2) Press (X) to call for help when you are holding something heavy or to say to your teammates to follow you



3) Please, when the primary objective is finish, dont call the drop pod, just ask in the chat : ready ? go ? or something like that and when everyone is ready then call it



4) When you call a supply pod, it's one supply per person, don't take two, never, or if you really need it ask your teammates maybe someone will give you his, and if you aren't in a full team, still, you can ask if you can take the remaining supply pod



V. Fight Tips

1) When you freeze a flying enemy it'll die instantly




Flying enemies :


Freezing weapons :



2) When a supply pod is empty just bury it so it does not interfere with the visibility during fights





3) When you buy upgrades for your shield it'll give you more HP (for a total of 15) so make sure to buy all the possible upgrades

VI. The map

Always look at your map before digging in a dirt wall so you can know exactly where to start




By pressing (space) while the map is open you'll turn to the direction you are looking in the map

All the big resources you dug out (Alien Egg, Aquarq, Gunk Seed...) appear on the map





VII. The Rarest minerals
There are two very rare minerals in the game : one that gives 2000 XP and one that gives 1000 to 1500 credits.


-The Error cube (real name ERR://23¤Y%/) : gives 2000 XP it has 1/26 chance to appear







-The Bittergem : gives 1000 to 1500 credits and has 1/21 chance to appear





(If you get both in the same game, you are very very lucky !)




VIII. Environnement

1) With the driller you can set the spider webs on fire to destroy them





2) In Salvage Operation missions you can find a lost supply pod that you can repair, maybe you'll get something or maybe not !





To find them look for flashing lights on the floor or you can look up to find the hole they did in the ceiling (open the map to get a better look)


3) You can stop the radioactivity from the radioactive crystals, you just have to hit the center (where the white light is)



IX. Pat


Pat a Golden loot bug to get some good luck, the legend says that the Dwarves who pat golden loot bug have 100% chance to complete their missions with no one left behind (Of course you can kill the loot bug after you pat it) but if you don't pat it you won't find any minerals and you'll probably fail the mission, so at your own risks




End
