Squimby is so pickable I mean petable.
I love squimby. What is his favorite mineral you feed him.
the scrunkly
i squimbed 😩
yeah squimby yeah
Huh
"yeah squimby yeah"
Oh shit its Winglet
Deep Rock Galactic SFM animation when? (if there's any plans for it)
yeah squimby yeah
I remember playing gunner once with the toxic splash overclock, shooting at bugs beside some lootbugs. I got the bugs, but then I noticed, to my horror, that the lootbugs were dying to toxins. I could only watch their healthbars go to zero and explode helplessly.
Over 10 blackout stouts later, the guilt will not go away.I still feel like a war criminal.
"Good dwarves follow orders"
Fun Fact: Lootbugs do not spawn on Escort missions. I asked the devs on Stream why this is and they didn't know. Must be a Lootbug bug.
Maybe because they eat minerals they tried to eat ommoron meteor and it reacted violently
Probably something to do with doretta possibility running them over constantly
You're not allowed to pet anything except Doretta on these missions, otherwise she gets jealous
speed bumps
I like to imagine that ommorans are the final form of a lootbug. Y'know how they spawn in higher amounts on On-Site Refining? The dense population of lootbugs forms into one single lootbug, which gains sentience, and becomes the ommoran, which is why there are no lootbugs, because they become the ommoran
I like the idea that loot bugs spawn in higher numbers on "on site refining" because their drawn to the rich and dense morkite.
I also love the headcanon that the reason the drop pod is broken in Salvage Operation is because the lootbugs clogged it up and that's why they're swarming it
Loot bugs can't drop moekite which means they probably don't eat it
@@spacegators1775 They don’t EAT it. They DRINK it in liquid form.
@@spacegators1775 Or their bodies properly and fully digest it for energy, and yet the gold and nitra they love the taste of, is mostly useless waste to their systems
The dwarven instinct to chuck a satchel charge at a large convention of lootbugs for the just answer of "Me want shiny" outweighs any and all compassion for friendly bugs.
The groups are hard to resist but on their own I will kill it with the E key
One lootbug is a tragedy. A group of lootbugs is WE'RE RICH
My friend figured out the LithoFoamer technique and we've been using it ever since. It's our headcanon that it's an ethical way to take a lootbug's minerals without hurting it too much! Even though you still deal damage to it.
When someone puts the gun in your hand and a lootbug in the scope, you must choose between what is easy, and what is right
What I really enjoy about this game is the resource collection. And lootbugs make for perfect pinatas. I used to spare them all, but then realized I prefer mineral collection than lootbugs being alive, so here I am, killing all on sight.
I only kill em if there is more than 5 in a bunch and I dont have over 160 nitra. but if there is more than 10? ima driller main I cant resist lol
Y o u b a s t a r d
I only kill them if I need too
I run its a bug thing so I don't have to actually kill them. I get the goods but don't have to worry about killing them myself they just commit suicide near me.
I pop every loot bug I see. I need those precious minerals.
0:39, aren’t us dressed technically grubs filled with rocks too 😂
Okay, now we need a voiceline where mission control tells us to stop pressure washing the lootbugs.
Lootbugs are like cows. They're cute. But delicious and full of minerals; so while happy to see them, I don't mourn their deaths.
My personal rule for *all* lootbugs, is to pet them before popping them with one boomstick shot, quick, hopefully painless, nitra supplies high enough for a resupply
I used to kill every Lootbug I saw before watching this video, now I always make sure to give them lots of pets, and always die a little inside every time a biome's hazard like radiation kills them...
I mostly don't attack Loot Bugs. The only exception is when I'm on an EDD - every rule goes out the window then.
Part of it is probably how I use them in other games too. Every spaceship construction game I've played now has a Loot Bug design in it. It's only goal is to store and extract precious minerals. They have been been killed in "friendly fire" incidents by my friends more times than I can count.
I love that idea, now I want to make a cargo vehicle in from the depths that looks like a lootbug
I always feel bad when I'm playing solo, can't find enough Nitra for my first resupply, and then there's a horde of lootbugs...
I try not to kill them, but when there's about 20 in one area, it gets kinda hard not to resist. I will use this trick to it's fullest though
Sometimes the inside thoughts become outside action.
...we've all wanted to see the Nitra and Gold explosion at least once. It's pretty, just don't think too hard about the source.
I avoid killing lootbugs as much as possible unless i cant find any nitra after searching the whole cave
and there me, i run "it's a bug thing" on lower difficulty causing confusion and CHAOS to both my team made and mostly to the loot bug population
One time I was doing the pipe line mission (I forgot the name of the mission) but there were these electric crystal I did not pay attention to them and I got to pipes connected one more but when I was rentering the electric crystal cave I saw shit loads of gold and nitra I was confused but then I remembered there were a lot of lootbug around the area and I realized the lootbugs were running to the crystal and spew out shit loads of gold and nitra
I declare war on all loot bugs in every mission, on sight they get blasted
Only time I ever loot bugs on purpose is when there are 40+. I call it overpopulation prevention, and pet every single one before I kill it so that I don’t feel as bad. It’s very time consuming but reduces my guilt.
i don't kill lootbugs if they are on big caves (mainly in glacial) because there is plenty nitra there
I FUCKING LOVE LOOTBUGS!!!!!!!!
@@Svoss6 one day in the cold dark mines, you will lie there on the ground, beaten and bruised and as the squirming tidal wave of sharpened mandibles and claws approach, Karl will not be there to save you.
since I started playing this game I have been killing every lootbug that comes to my dwarfing distance
my friend once found a golden lootbug and named him zipline.
I like petting the Lootbug before killing them
Heavily disagree with the "cute" part. Lootbugs are just gross, wiggly protein sacks. I kill them on sight. But, to be fair, I kill almost every live entity in the game on sight, even maggots.
Plus, brutalising an entire group of lootbugs produces fancy fireworks of minerals and gore, and no self-respecting dwarf would pass on it.
I'm gonna be honest, I kill every lootbug I see. Just never really thought about them. Early on in my career, I had a Dreadnought mission where we ran out of ammo. I left the fight (My teammates were trying to kill it with pickaxes) to look for nitra. Finally found some and we managed to pull through, but that feeling of fear of not being able to finish a mission just because we ran out of ammo is ingrained in me.
It's funny to see how much people care about these guys and how hard you try not to kill them. I kill lootbugs all the time, and it never makes me sad because I know they're just creatures in a video game. Don't get me wrong, I think they're super cute and adorable, I just didn't know anyone had anything against killing them.
the sad noises they make, it pains my soul.
Also, you can't really be a poor alcoholic in drg if you have money, and lootbugs give money. Coincidence? i think not.
Yeah, the overwhelming sense of "they just lines of code" override anything else. Pop em, or I will
I tend to only kill lootbugs when I need nitra to resupply, tending to play on haz 3 and 4.
I too, am a proud owner of a lootbug plush, and his name is Blorble
I run a mod.... That replaces their death noise with moans...... I've used it nearly as long as I've played the game.... Oddly enough, i never thought about the moral dilemma of shooting them last that point.
Ive been coming across a lot of players who just gun down lootbugs without a second thought. Makes me sad :(
I personally don't kill them. I just can't. I feel guilty when they get caught in my explosives. I'm not against others killing the Lootbugs... but I just can't willingly bring myself to do it.
Thank you for the lithofoamer tip, gonna go ahow my friends how to humanely milk a lootbug
Wait, what if you milk a lootbug, let it eat the dropped minerals and then milk it again?
What’s the song in this video? I’ve heard it before somewhere
My friend almost cries whenever someone kills a lootbug when she watches me play.
I shoot people that kill loot bugs.
Yeah, Squimby. Yeah.
i too follow the nitra rule. if i'm good, they are too
My simple solution is to kill every single one without remorse because I'm in these caves for the GOLD not BUGS! Nevermind that I don't get paid enough credits for the gold, I'm still extracting every resource from every cave, even when I'm playing on modded Hazards well above the normal difficulty level. Starship Troopers Elite with five times normal spawn caps and dreadnaughts and ebonites added to the regular spawn pool? Still getting all the gold and killing every lootbug. It's just how I like to play this bad boy.
bugs is bugs
also
shrimps is bugs
counter point: double barrel shotgun
Lootbugs are cute and all, but 20 gold is 20 gold.
my first lootbug was a golden one
I have the lootbug brainfart mod on so i must loot bug for funny noise
i only kill them if i am a bit short on nitra or if they are golden
I only kill loot bugs If the team REALLY needs the nitra
I personally think they should change the lootbug perk to one that allows you to pet lootbugs and force them to harmlessly vomit up their payload, and then crawl into the flood, adding a still just as useless but probably much wider used perk to the game for those who dont want to kill the little guys.
YES THIS RIGHT HERE!!!
I'd be down for that.
All in favor say Aye.... AYE
Aye
They even have victory animation where you pet the bug and it spits out a chunk
It's such a great part of the game that plays with your psychology. There's absolutely no reason to not kill them, you have nothing to gain by not killing them, you should obviously kill them, it's in your best interests, they're digital cave creatures that aren't real. One problem: they're cute. So I very rarely kill them, out of a conscious and somewhat self-sacrificial choice.
No they're fucking not
Foolishness, dwarf, foolishness, you lack the power of a driller main.
It's similar to the shopping cart problem; you have nothing to gain from being the good person, you do have to gain from being the bad person, it's a consequenceless act mostly, but it really does determine whether you are a functioning member of society or not
@@plantplayer303only a leaf lover would assume that violence is the ONLY option, you’re not worthy of rock and stone!
@@GPantazisIs it bad that Ive never hesitated to kill a lootbug on sight?
had an absolute menace of a driller burn every lootbug he saw, we made him promise not to kill one that we found in a giant room by itself, he promised, then when i came back to the room later, it was gone. i questioned him and he said "it died of natural causes". i responded with :( and he followed that up with "fire is natural"
I see driller followed the DRG's code of ethics. +50 social credits.
@@Someone-ho1ls Bonus points if he used C4
The driller main in our squad perma-equipped "it's a bug thing" the moment he unlocked it. And now he even has it on all his other classes, he said he 'can't resist' it like popping a pimple 😭😭
This had me laughing. Fire is, indeed, natural
What a Chad^^
I would love a update where the space rig has some bug pets, like a extra fat loot bug that wears lil costumes for holidays and say he snuck on board and likes beer. Or a lil Steve too small to fight or cause real damage
(Edit) each class should have there own bug
Driller - fat loot bug
Gunner - lil Steve
Scout - small flying grabber bug
Engi - jelly fish thing
Swarmer Steeve
imagine you could feed it credits (as in gold) in a same way you tip floyd
One of the end mission poses your dwarf can do is he'll look around over his shoulder and then pull out a lootbug he smuggled back give it a good pet and let's it loose on the Space Rig so technically speaking lootbug stowaways are an easily believable possibility
As a Driller main I'm permanently stealing Scout's mini-grabber.
Loot bugs are nice and all, but Scout's got a grappling hook already... maybe I can train the grabber to fly me places? :D
(this is sarcasm please let me have a fat golden lootbug)
I Adore this idea
Thr noises they make make me feel so 🥺 The tiniest little peeps. Just little guys. Smol blorbos. The babies. And then they purr when you pet them🥺
*"and to think... we almost killed you!"*
TLDR: you can shoot lootbugs with litho-foamer to extract nitra without killing them!!!
No thanks, me loves to SMASH!!!
Interesting
One just has to know how to *milk* the lootbug
It deals one damage, so you’re just slowly killing it
@@purpleblah2 *less than one damage, like 0.1 dmg
I'm surprised you didn't mention that one of the dev's newborn at the time is the voice of lootbugs
Please tell me this isn't true.
oh my god no
@@PollexTheCat it's the truth and nothing but the truth.
I was asking about the sounds of DRG and I gave the grabber and lootbug as examples, so they answered, "So I can't remember what exactly but the grabber is some North American bird. The lootbug however was [Dev's] baby who was only 3[?] Months old at the time."
I asked this a few months back so I can't remember the specifics
Thanks, you ruined it
Tikkie-D
what bird would that be
I run "it's a bug thing" because I love walking up to someone petting a lootbug, and then it just blows up in their face without me shooting it. Then I'll type in chat "You pet it too hard >:(" and try and gaslight greenbeards into thinking you shouldn't pet the lootbugs.
you, my friend, are deranged
You! The trauma...
This is so evil I love it
Thats just evil man :(
I wanna make a lootbug farm in the rig, or find a mod that turns Molly into a giant lootbug on a trolley. I need this mod now
Interesting idea, replacing molly with a loot bug carrying your minerals
Need lootbug chao garden
molly is just a lootbug in a metal box with legs
@@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 Make it bright white and shiny.
I don't think they're coded to, but I like how loot bugs seem to aggregate around the drop pod or the refinery. Like they see the dwarves dropping all the loose rock inside and scramble to get the peices
I like to call a huge group of lootbugs a migration because they all move in the same direction and often gather together in one spot eventually.
It's a 'trove of lootbugs'. :D
much like the (currently impossible) group of Huuli Hoarder's would be a 'reliquary of Hoarders'.
@@TheCyanDragon I like that.
A treasure of lootbugs
An explosion of exploders/bulks/crassuses
An gang of grunts
A swarm of swarmers
A spitting of web/acid spiters/menaces
A school of naecdotytes
I should go on but i can't
Not a vein of lootbugs???
@@Grapplehook_Lemon that's actually better than what i said
I live by three rules in DRG:
- Leave no dwarf behind
- If you don't rock and stone you ain't coming home
- Leave no gold behind
Loot bugs have gold and I have to uphold those rules so I will kill any loot bugs on sight (preferably with a shotgun).
Yeeeeah squimby :)
I’m very happy you talked about using the litho-foamer to get minerals from the loot bugs. I use that all the time and just call it “milking the bugs”.
Great video as always, sniss!
Excuse me, *milking?*
...
Mind if I use that?
I call it lootbug tickling...
@@TheElysianPrince not at all LOL
@@TheDrumMajor Awesome. lmao
I die a little inside everytime I have to kill a lootbug.
But the lootbug dies completely. Inside and outside. Good deal to me
Lootbug popped!
Same
True, true
I killed a lootbug, and I'm not so proud of it!
5:53 Huh... maybe that explains the ball off 30 something loot bugs I found once in an onsite refinery mission. They were like all stuck together and if you pet them, well it was quite a cacophony of cuteness. Eventually I felt bad for them since they couldn't move and well I didn't want to leave them in purgatory so I put them out of their misery... yeah my game lagged at the sheer explosion of gold and nitra that flew everywhere XD
I always understood that on-site refining clusters were intentional because lootbugs would be drawn to such large deposits of minerals
I believe the devs said on stream that in-universe, liquid morkite is like crack to them
@@flapjackgd937
Makes sense. Turning a mistake into lore is an under-appreciated story telling approach
@@kingbubbles9461 like the witch concentration in L4D2's sugar mill?
My headcanon for why there are so many lootbugs on refining missions was that the liquid morkite caused geothermal activity underground that affected the lootbugs, causing them to breed. Making them essentially breeding grounds. I also thought extracting the liquid morkite killed off these breeding grounds, putting the lootbug population at risk.
Well if they're gonna die soon anyways ......
Loot Bugs make surprisingly good steeds to ride into battle on! Still waiting for R&D to approve my designs for a loot-bug saddle…
also yea squimby yea
8:46 it’s a lil car wash! He’s paying you to clean his little body!!!
Yeah Squimby yeah
Its funny how just a few lines of dialogue can color an entire game mechanic. The dwarves say they feel bad about killing them so the player does too.
Sorry, little guy. Your own fault for being full of goodies
Dwarves that kill loot bugs and don't even feel bad about it are subDwarf.
@@Acesahnwrong, im pyro TF2
Though there are also a few lines where they seem to be fine or not care at all, like the line that ends with “Lets get the minerals!” After popping one
@@Cheshire9kloser vibes
The pressured toothpaste forcefully flattens the lootbug.Squeezing the ores out.
very clever
That neat little pile of gold that spawned from your golden lootbug activated some neurons in me. How did you get it to pile up like that? I hate when the loot goes flying everywhere.
They also spawn pretty densely on SalvOp missions. It’s especially amusing when there’s a loose mineral chunk they can’t get to (e.g. stuck underneath a dead contagion spike) and after a while they’ll all clump together on top of it and wiggle around like some sort of multi-legged creature. That’s when I am completely overwhelmed by the temptation to pop ‘em.
Mario: love the lootbugs
Luigi: if its got the loot, it gets the shoot!
Came for the Deep Rock, stayed for the impending moral dilemma.
I love these little guys. I do have quite the killcount on them, through accidents or when I needed the nitra, but I always feel kinda bad about it and would prefer just petting them indefinetly.
I can never bring myself to hurt loot bugs, to a point where when we see a golden loot bug my friend tells me to look away before he kills it
I beat them to death
You and me both. If there ever will be an emote or way to hug a lootbug, i'll get it.
I never want to hurt them, with one caviat.
Deepdives and haz 5. Those i can't afford to spare the resources sadly.
@@sz_b_zstechnix7523 I've seen an after mission animation where you hug a loot bug. It's old, so it's in the world loot pool.
@@sz_b_zstechnix7523the current season track has a hug loot bug victory emote.
@@sz_b_zstechnix7523 I see deepdives and haz5 as challenges to do without killing loot bugs, I just think that if I get better I will not have to kill them, so I rather work on my skill than kill them, and if we fail we fail, no harm done, I mean who cares if mission has failed as long as we had fun.
I love how on their own Lootbugs don't actually look that cute, but in the context of DRG where almost every other living thing wants to take your face off, they instantly become the most adorable little creatures
Imagine an "evil lootbugs" modifier for missions where they to damage to you itd be funny
A modifier of "Vengeful detonators" that come for retaliation when you harm their babies. 😅
Even better, they do pitiful amounts of damage but there's a suspenseful music score before they nibble you for like 5 damage
Give Lootbugs an AoE lifesteal for the modifier. Something moderately concerning, but not immediately fatal (unless you find like 4+ in a small enough area)
With this modifier, instead of seeking dropped minerals, they instead seek out players/Dwarves.
With Season 4 coming, that may be more likely than we suspect...
...Rockpox infected Lootbugs. It'll be a mercy killing.
give them fat boy deepcore
I think I would make my wife cry if I attacked the loot bugs. She says they're so ugly they're cute.
yeaah squimby
i stand on the loot bug genocide side, i have very little empathy for bugs... and the have gold
Just gave me an idea for a gold farm.
Go to a refining mission, dig a hole, wait untill lootbugs go in, trap with platforms, spray with lithofoamer to create a cycle where the lootbugs vomits and eats minerals.
Thank you for the idea
This could actually break the game. Karl would be proud
And at the end of mission get Driller main and make them go everywhere with his button 4
It's HIM! Here comes the boooooooyyyyyyyy
yeaaaaa squimby yeeeaahh, go lil man gooo
I'm sorry, but as a Driller main, when I see a group of them together, Fortunate Son starts playing in my head...
Unironically I don't think I've consciously spared a single lootbug since I started playing last year
holyshit based pfp
unbased human
Absolute lad
gabriel
I can’t believe Gabriel Ultrakill is racist against the lootbug kind
It's A Bug Thing is great on Scout where you are already zipping around supplementing Nitra, and can freely grapple near Lootbugs on any surface. Total time and ammo saver. It's also worth considering for any class for On Site Refining missions. No amount of cute is going to make me overlook easy resources in a game with resource management.
my little headcannon as to why Lootbugs seem to spawn more on Point Extraction is that they just really love to drink it and gather around those areas. Also probably where they also gather to mate, or more likely to mate when drinking Liquid Morkite
as someone that patiently waited for the game to be $10 and finally got on in the end of last year, context is extremely helpful looking back at a huge amount of dev time
I always thought Liquid Morkite Missions were Loot Bug mating grounds, that's why there were so many of them...
I can't really have empathy for something the devs literally called a "LOOTbug"
The thought that someday well actually see lootbugs eating the minerals is a vibe
Yeah Squimby, yeah. :)
As for "when" I kill loot bugs. Depends on team comp. If I'm running with some real Green-Beards I need all the nitra I can get to compensate for double dippers.
That litho-foamer thing means Lootbugs hate showers too. Just like us. We have so much in common!
To be honest cave vines and pog plants make the radioactive exclusion zone my favorite biome alongside the azure wealds
I'm kinda curious to know what happens if you kill a Crassus Detonator, mine all the gold but don't deposit it and you let a lootbug eat all the gold, do you get all that gold multiplied by 1.5 back? how long would it take?
Yeeahhh Squimby :)
Everyone in the comments say Yeah, Squimby, Yeah :)
I like to think that lootbugs drink the liquid morkite, so the morkite wells are like watering holes for them. That's why there are so many of them on those missions.
Happy to see someone else has their own rules of if to kill loot bugs or not. Even though they are cool little creatures they can get annoying. Anyways wish you all the best!
I started playing this game yesterday. ROCK AND STONE TO THEIR BONE
I love the use of the magnetic tree; such a good song by such a good composer, I also love your video, as always!
After my reform of being a senseless murderer, I’ve only purposely killed one loot bug. And it stung. Like a lot. I still think about it to this day.
😂
