great question! the new cave shapes from update 32 add a nice amount of variety to the game, especially the on-site refining caves. the heartstone room at the end of an escort duty is often absolutely massive and fun to explore. lots of cool variety to mix things up in the other mission types as well. overall all the new stuff is cool and good.
@@borpothewizard update 33 looks like one of the best updates to the game so far. excited for elimination missions to get more variety and the new biomes look fantastic. super excited for feb 4!
A small thing to add since the new mission types were added: -Escort Duty missions generate linear caves. -On-Site Refining missions generate caves similar to Point Extraction ones. The second point made me think of another name for these caves - centered caves (as in, most of the important things are in the central room).
Yeah escort duty generate linear caves but the separate caves are quite far from each other, you actually have to be touching the wall to even try and see the other caves on the map. Which is pretty neat since even in it's category of technically being linear caves it's still unique.
Recently I was doing a game in the glacial strata and we got into a massive room with a frozen lake. And in the middle of the lake was a very deep pit that led to the next tunnel and rooms. It was a very memorable generation.
Found your channel and subscribed immediately. I DESPERATELY need to find more creators like you. You literally DEFINE the kind of content that I search for on the internet and Im unbelievably impressed. The structure and editing of your videos are second to virtually none and I adore the relaxed almost jovial tone your videos take (im also a total sucker for well-written scripts and self-aware jokes)
Fantastic video dude. You did Deep Rock Galactic justice. Everything is to the point and very well communicated, with excellent voice over, editing and a dash of humor. I have just over 1000 hours in DRG myself and I feel every much the same way about the game as you do. I have never seen Early Access done this well. The developers listen to their community like no other studio I know of, nail the updates, takes what needs fixing seriously, updates their technology, including Unreal Engine 4 and give updates to development via roadmaps etc. Overall DRG is the best $25 I have ever spent on a game.
Hey man! Great video. a lot of work has gone into that, and it shows :-) Great in depth look at the cave system, and great video presentation. I like it.. subscribed! I'm one of the devs (the animator), and the video has now been shared with the whole team. Thanks :-)
The two new mission types were added, On-site Refinery and Escort Duty. Refinery is a Centralized type mission, where you have a central room and minehead you stay with, except you build pumps and pipes to extract and refine Liquid Morkite. Escort is a hybrid of Linear and Centralized, where you defend a drill on its way through several caves to a precious gem. It goes through a linear set of caves, yet the fight always revolves around the drill.
Having a Compressed Gold + Bittergem + Error Cube is stupid rare at the same time. But somehow I've come across it twice, withing about a week. 1/26 x 1/21 x 1/3 = 0.06105% or 1/1638 chance of occuring per level spawn.
Man, this channel is an absolute compressed gold mine. I hope you keep making videos, because, honestly, you deserve a lot more recognition. Rock and stone, man!
It bugs me to this day that it was still surpassed by Helltaker of all things. I can understand Alyx, being the current magnum opus of Valve's VR, but goddamned HELLTAKER?
Rock and stone Brother! Stellar job there, I really liked the part where-oops, management just called. They said they want to talk to you in private in the depressurization bay about the error cube...
One thing you didn't touch on is the frankly absurd number of enemy waves you get during Point Extractions. The starting population of the cave is an initial hurdle, but the longer you stay the more and more frequently random packs of bugs dig out of the walls to get you. Once you get over 20 minutes it's effectively constant harassment interspersed with swarms! ...I guess that's kind of beyond the purpose of this video, though. Also how dare you sneak a Mactera into a picture of "passive creatures".
Dude, watching this in 2021 before the 2 new biomes update (update 33 xbox) and i just wanna say: i would pay for more quality content like this. Seriously, it makes me so much more interested in the game. Highly recommend going on the DRG discord and speaking your mind. The developers are well known to take their user's advice into mind and youd do a great job at recommending any new ideas. I think i speak for ALL drg gamers in that we want to see the game grow to astronomical levels. Rock and stone.
I'm so glad I found you accidental. You're defo my go to guy when it comes to the best DRG content on RUclips 🙌 And If it wasn't for PS plus adding DRG to the list of free games I would of never had the chance to experience such a fantastic game. Kudos to Sony and thankyou youtube for having sniss pop up on my reccomended. Keep doing what you doing man you're great. ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!!🤜🤛
2 years later and I still agree with the clown tunnel thing, me and a griend spent roughly and hour in a point extraction mission due to a tunnel being higher up than we expected and had been partially drilled through with a resupply pod in a smaller than average corner of the cave. We eventually found it through me head glitching myself with a platform gun. (We didn't about the terrain scanner/map yet)
5:35 Fun-fact: the reason the previous team failed was their test trials of the mini-mules, giving each dwarf a mule to go do his own thing. But as we all know "dig together, or dig your own grave" That is why we only get Molly now, keeps us together more increasing our survival rate.
Initially, I wondered how no mans sky has randomly generated music, but it could be how pikmin 2 handles its cave music. In short: having each instrument and their track kinda like puzzle pieces that are assembled based on what you are doing, so essentially pikmin 2's cave music is personalized.
Thanks for the vid, the content is interesting and informative and humor is awesome, I don't know why you have so little subscribers still. Keep up the good work, miner!
I wish there was an other type of salvage operation, one where we do not extract mules or drop pods from failed missions, but one where we collect scrap from all the equipment we leave behind. (oil refineries, point extraction platforms and drill dozers). The mission length could correspond to how much equipment we need to salvage. Alternatively it could also be bonus objectives instead of full missions. A bonus objective could during any given mission be, go scrap and salvage parts from a drill dozer or an oil refinery, along with its pumps.
This is one of the moments where I feel like im early to a channel that will get really big really quickly. Your editing and voice over is entertaining and clean. Keep up the good work. Got your 110th sub from me, see you at 10,000.
What I would like to know ... is how they created those Fully Destructible Caves. I can't see a base 3d model used, but apparently it's some form of a pyramid. 4:34 The thing I think they did, is create quite some shapes that are then used to form the Cave. Each Biome has some shapes they share, and some that are not shared.
Can you do a video on the resources of deep rock galactic? Like how they generate, their history, stuff like that? I've always wondered if things like jadiz and compressed gold generate only near walls or if there are more just hiding in the rock.
I once found bitlets of gold below spirals that were all named E//#*46=3 or something, they looked like dna, there was no compressed gold :( ive been scammed like that twice as driller
Excuse me while I subscribe and binge watch all your videos, you content does not match to your subscription yet so I add my bit to get you up where you belong. 👍 Good stuff
Funnily enough, the latest Minecraft snapshots feature a bunch of caves that are kinda similar to the ones DRG has nowadays, like weve come full circle!

Will try to sneak that underground Burger King into an update. No promises.
Do it, you won't. 😂
Video's so good even the devs are commenting
It isn't liquid morkite you're extracting, it's liquid whopper
The more I learn about this game, the more I wish I worked at GSG
gotta love the devs of this game. Some of the best devs i've heard of

Maybe call escort and on site caves radial caves?
It's nice to take a moment or two in game to appreciate the scenery..
..And then a group of exploders sneak up behind you and send you to the ground.
Damn I have missed a lot of compressed gold if it is 33% spawn chance...
exactly what I was thinking
Went months without seeing it. Now I’m seeing 1-3 per mission
same, keep in mind that compressed gold specks are harder to see than other specks.

this is GENIUS and the editing is truly fantastic. 10/10 would watch again
10/10 already watching it again

This is an very helpful video! Keep up the hard work! ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!
The music used in the intro is one of my favorite tunes in the game. Takes me back to Marathon.
I hope your ready for update 33 on February 4th. Im hoping for a new video after it arrives. Love the content man.

I really think they should add procedural generation for Gary Busey
i searched this man on google and like half of the images he looks like hes in extreme pain

This one of the best videos about DRG I have seen yet. You deserve to get big.
EDIT : subbed
Very clever transitions when you were talking about different procedural games, your editing is pretty stellar.
Very informative, excellent editing with a pinch of humour. You did your research and this is definitely admirable. Rock and Stone!

Really good quality video with great editing and humor. More of this please!
the fucking caves man. it's unreal how no two ever feel the same
Me and my friends have played a lot of procedural generated games. But DRG is the only one that makes us say: "sick generation" everytime!
Initially, I wondered how no mans sky has randomly generated music, but it could be how pikmin 2 handles its cave music. In short: having each instrument and their track kinda like puzzle pieces that are assembled based on what you are doing, so essentially pikmin 2's cave music is personalized.

I watch this video like 3 times a week I love your vids man
Nice touch with the err cube 😉
The schreeches of drg.
The fun thing about procedural generation is that there’s some levels that are just pits leading to hell with some nasty bug at the bottom

well DRG Historian said to check this out, and I am not disappointed. I'll subsbribble.
Nearly died when I saw helltaker as the second highest reviewed
This video was so well made that at first I thought this video was put together by a developer of the game. Good job man!
At this point I like these videos before I've watched them.
Deep rock galactic is just so impressive on a technical level. I'm not a tech guy and even I noticed it the first time I played it
Didnt even get through the intro before i knew i was in for a goated fucking video. Amazing job!
Man this game looks so incredible. I really hope it comes to ps4 eventually!!!
Helltaker on 2nd
