Tips & Tricks
1. You can negate fall damage by standing under a fellow dwarf who needs to fall a long distance.

2. Engineer bridge over the hacking spots makes Omen event a piece of cake.

3. Driller's axes can be stood on, then retrieved.

4. Platforms above Dotty can protect against floating rocks.

5. Only 1 person needs to repair dotty for the full repair speed.

6. Use resupply to dig things high above yourself, such as dead teammates.

7. Ctrl+E to place a permanent waypoint that only you see.

8. A short right click can cancel some animations and make reloading, throwing axes, etc. faster.

9. Throwing axes can be used to destroy ebonuts, poison shrooms, etc. and retrieved.

10. If damage causes you to drop off a zipline, you can re-grab if you react fast.

11. Hit C4 with an impact axe to plant it in midair.

12. Driller axes count as melee for vampire perk, which also pairs well with cryo gun.

13. By preventing your HP bar dropping to 0, you can avoid dying.

14. If Bosco is carrying an object and if floating nearby, calling him back will make him toss the object to you.

15. Grabbing a ledge prevents fall damage.

16. In the loading screen, you can press "Q" or "E" to change your class mid load.

17. When you pet a lootbug, there's a chance it will drop a chunk of Gold or Nitra.

18. Pot's of Gold ONLY buffs the Gold mined by the pickaxe.

19. If you're grabbed by a Mactera Grabber you can break free by grabbing on to a zipline.

20. Grinding on a pipeline cancel all fall damage.

21. You can join a "Union" which gives you 10k credits and free crafting material each month, regardless of which team you join, to join a "Union" you just need to join the Official DRG discord [discord.com] server and have your discord linked to your Steam account.
You can then choose which "Union" you wanna join in The Union Terminal which is right next to Pickaxe customizer in the Space Rig.

22. The only way to kill bugs is by making their hp bar drop to 0.
Rock and Stone!

Bugs cannot reach the top of the refinery, so only projectiles can damage you there.

dont like bet-c? cover it in CHEESE and it will never do anything, just remember that some people cannot resist eating the cheese, thus freeing it.

More detail regarding point 2: Put a platform against a wall near the sensor plates and add to it until it is over the pad. The platform should be high enough above that the breach cutter passes underneath you (standing on the platform) Then you only have to watch the upper 2 sections of the omen. This works because the *maximum effort* way is to jump over the breach cutters and you can be well above the sensor and still trigger it.

Lead big explosion bugs from Hazardous into tight hallways because whatever terrain it explodes out to will turn the walls into gold. Great way to mine money if you have Bosco.
