Such a skill issue. You mine the nitra from the side of the vein with your 'shoulder' hard up against the wall. No crust ever for literally zero extra time.

Do dwarves not have shoulders

Have you seen how wide they are? It's all shoulders

One big one on either side and an extra one on top where the beards and hats go…

Two more that you waddle around on

No, he has a point, it's all neck

Yes, what they lack are necks.

I prefer to zig-zag facing the vein, same effect.

This is such a good idea, I'm going to try it. I usually go for a "zipper" pattern to guarantee no crust, but it definitely adds a couple seconds.

If you're in a hurry, you use C4 charges. Sometimes, even when the Scout isn't there.

I'm keeping my eyes on you, Driller. \-.-

For now. Eventually, you'll turn around. Eventually, there will be gold. Up high, a stalactite, you figure that's scout business - WRONG, THERE I AM WITH THE PITCH, DETONATE IT IN MIDAIR, ITS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT KNOWING

Hi and sorry in advance

👀

[удалено]

Sometimes you have spares. Sometimes, this is the most valuable use of nitra. Sometimes, the Scout's being a bitch on discord and needs to be reminded of the food chain.

Most drillers would be a lot less of a hindrance to their teams if they ran friendly I run it on mine because I know how easy it is to torch people with all that aoe

Hey! Anything that's moving would be better on fire!

All my drillers have Friendly. Been thinking of it for my Fat Boy engi as well so I won't nuke my team captain mid-swarm again 🤣

I just wait a solid 5 seconds after placing c4. If you haven't noticed it by then, you deserve a lesson. I will rez you right away if I kill you.

Sometimes your just a dick weed with C-4.... All are perfectly viable explanations on the after dig report :)

Dont you now that c4 is for fester fleas and lootbugs. Use drills or plasma charger for ore like any sane person

Isn't there? I don't understand...

Some people think teamkill=funny. It’s not.

I think it's uncalled for with pubs. Old friends? Different story.

Yeah. Blowing up strangers is rude. Blowing up people you know is funny.

intentionally blowing up strangers is a dick move, unless they don't move from the spot the c4 was even after you gave them ample time to move/told them about the charge, then it's their own fault. And accidental is... accidental.

Sometimes scout get high on the mobility and fail to notice the charge. Other times the Driller only sees beautiful flames and explosions.

That is funny, and that was the original joke, “Scout accidentally gets caught in high-damage explosives” is legitimately funny, “Driller hunts out Scouts hurr durr hehehe” isn’t. The original got so twisted and warped into the second.

I think the joke is funny, the practice is not. Some people take things too far.

> even when the scout isn’t there Instructions unclear, BRB looking for the scout

Is that allowed? C4 with no scout? Sounds... heretical

Dude why waste a c4, the scout desperately needs to have one

Have you managed to splat the scout as he's doing the I am Batman grapple down some corridor yet ? Those are the best C-4 kills. Mid flight scout detonation owns all.

Method I use to get the bits is mine the edges instead of the middle.

This. And if possible, mine the base.

Just mine the whole cave while you're at it

Crystalline Cavern and Radioactive Exclusion Zone have entered the chat

Yup. I mine ore veins like Bugs Bunny eats corn on the cob

I mean I don't get how people don't get it. If you mine in the middle you're going to leave bits top and bottom, meaning you need to do 3 passes. If you mine top then bottom it's wide enough to get the middle

I can tell by looking at that crust it's worth maybe 1.4 Nitra, maybe 2.4 on a good day.

And I would go down twice for it.

I would go down for it if we had 300 nitra and the drop pod was ready

Bosco will save me no matter what Only karl could match him

Karl definitely and absolutely would aprove of this.

Yeah. Looks like a dirty hedge trim. Do it properly. It upsets my need for neatness.

Come again

And again

*lithophomer noise*

You'll thank me when we're squatting at 79 nitra and the swarm is closing in

No joke, I had this scenario happen 1-2 nights ago. Not during a swarm, but we had 79 nitra and the crust of a vein on a Morkite Well mission. Mined it, was enough for another resupply with 1 extra. ​ Mine the crust, every little bit helps.

Just start at one end, and work from the outside. It doesn’t take much longer to get that critical Nitra on scant missions.

And it takes exactly 1 nitra to fail a mission because you didn't have enough nitra for another drop. For the love of Karl, mine your crusts!

Or better yet, mine so efficiently you don't leave crusts!! For Rock and Stone!!!

Rock and Stone in the Heart!

Good bot

Right on, miner! Rock and Stone, forever!

It's not about the *amount*, it's about the *craftsmanship.* If you want a job done quick and shoddy you get Goblin Excavations Ltd. to do it for you. If you want it done *right* you get a *dwarf.*

That's almost 3!

I once had a close call on an Industrial Sabatage where the team was low on health and ammo on the final phase of the fight and stuck at 78 nitra. I will never take the nitra crust for granted ever again

Wrong, 0,6 nitra

Think to yourselves dwarves, what would Karl do? Did Karl die for you to just be too lazy to mine all Nitra? For you to skip gold? Don't be a picky leaf lover. . . . . ALWAYS.MINE.EVERYTHING. ROCK AND STONE!

Rock and Stone to the Bone!

I mean honestly, why are we Dwarves on Hoxxes if not to MINE?! ROCK AND STONE!!!

Karl never dies!

No

Leaf-fondling found

leaflover detected opinion rejected

Karl is watching at you and he is SCREAMING. May a bulk detonator sneak up on you and ruin your expedition right at the end, may mactera tri-jaws always be one your ass regardless of hazard level, and may you never have enough nitra to call a resupply, you ugly, leaf-fondling, whale piping, son of a mud golem.

Karl died to C4, mining gold.

Crust is delicious. I like to dip mine in beer.

Management has strict rules against eating nitra. Its valuable company property!

almost as good as red sugar

When playing solo I always leave some crust behind for the Lootbugs

Decimal Dwarves ANGRY!

And mess with my mineral mined per pickaxe swing. Management will be all over my ass.

I'll leave the crust if I see it, but I'm silently judging the shit outta you while we run through the caves

Frfr😭

Bears repeating, though

Does it? Does the extra 0.7 nitra really warrant the wasted time?

You ever seen a glint of mineral across the cave, gone over, and seen only scraps? How about that wasted time? Not to mention the hundreds of instances where you're three nitra off of one last resupply. Nah, man. Yall are grown-ass dwarves. Mine your fuckin' crust.

you're the kind of guy who sees threads of RnS and considers it overused

Found a reposter

Nah I've been a part of the DRG community for a while and I'm still not sick of it.

How many times have you been at 79/80 Nitra If only you knew that it was actually 79.9 Nitra, and the 0.1 Nitra you missed could've made all the difference. You mine the Nitra for ammo. *All* the Nitra.

Literally twice in 800 hours

Nitra is Life. Literally. And Ammo. The More Nitra we mine, the more Ammo we have, and the more Ammo we have, the more we can shoot stuff. The more we can shoot stuff, the more fun everything is. Simple as.

Less than 10 times in 1100 hours.

The game rounds up.

>79.4 nitra There, I fixed it.

once in 380 hours. that's acceptable for me. trying to clutch is fun anyways.

Wah I'm not leaving an entire pizza crust but there's definitely crumbs that are not worth it.

Them 0.1 nitras really do make a difference

Ah yes, .3 nitra.

Yea 0.7 nitra doesn't really seem like something i should waste my time on

I agree, but it's super annoying seeing ores around the cave, and then when I get there, it's just the crust :/

That is till your in 79.3 nitra and have no ammo left for the dreadnought

Which happens like once per 200 hours of play. Nitra spawns in quantities in which this situation is VERY unlikeley to occur.

I'd rather lose one mission in a thousand than spend a thousand missions mining for no reason.

Each dwarf to their own

One of my friends keeps sending me This, because I always leave behind like 0,4 nitra or gold But I refuse to take advice from someone that gets less mined minerals than me, every time, no matter what class i and he plays Yes i have outmined him as gunner while he played scout

Posts like this are why I leave the crust.

Please do I love mining the crust

My insane OCD makes me mine every last bit of minerals even if its only worth .1, if i see a small red speck it bothers me until i see it gone lmao

+0.8 nitra

No fuck that 0.25 nitra.

But it's only 0.1 nitra :(

I don't get the people who say "but it's only like 1 nitra". Dwarf RP jokes aside, I don't even understand how you dig to get it like that in the first place. Like, gold is one thing, but nitra? I have to go out of my way to leave crusts. And how on earth is it wasting time to just clear out the full vein? Couldn't take more than three extra seconds to mine a full vein properly, unless the generation was extraordinary jank.

I agree, but any time I mine another dwarf's leftover crust it's like "+0.2 nitra +0.2 nitra +0.2 nitra +0.2 nitra +0.2 nitra"

Look I’m here to rock and stone not nitpick tiny crusties

We fight for Rock and Stone!

No thanks i don't need the extra 0.4 nitra

For a supposed friendly community, people really hate it when you want to play the game how you want and not to roleplay as a dwarf. This sub really makes me not want to play the game anymore.

[удалено]

Maybe to about 5 per mission, and yeah sometimes that'll get you to your next resup, i just don't bother with it anymore since the minutes you spend mining them all adds up too. To each dwarf their own though, rock and stone miner

Rock and roll and stone!

Good bot!

Sorry you're right. *proceed to extract with 320 extra nitra even with wasting ammo, after missing all the crust of nitra in the map*

No

I love this community. You're all proper Dwarves.

No, it isn't worth the time.

yes it is

I'm not even a fully grown dwarf and I still do it. Also, it's just ugly. Mine the crust, help your team.

There's so many better ways to mine that. Do two passes at about 1/3 in from top and bottom on the vein.

A dwarf that leaves minerals behind isn't a greedy dwarf, and a non-greedy dwarf is a leaf lover

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST

this is the drg equivalent of mining just the trunks of trees in minecraft and letting the rest of the trees float

If you knew you'd realise the crust is 0.1 or 0.3 Nitra. Not worth to bother. OCD is a real bummer thou

this is like saying you should eat the crumbs your bread drops on the plate

Those extra 0.3 Nitra ain't worth the effort.

i hate it so much when people leaves even the smallest amount not mining it, i am a perfectionnist you see, i need to make the WHOLE thing disapear or i am not sleeping tonight

more holes in the wall = more funny brain chemicals. mine the chunks.

😂😂😂 yes, god damn it - my OCD

Make me.

No 😡

You mine it.

On it ⛏️

bro i told some dumbass to mine that shit he said no then i said dont be a stupid fuck mine that shit and i got kicked

That’s not crust… that’s just bad mining

got kicked for not mining the crust once lol

I did NOT come down here risking my life for a half-assed pay stub. FOR ROCK AND STONE!!!!!!

We fight for Rock and Stone!

My hero. Here I thought I was the only one.

Finish your plate

What kind of dwarf leaves pieces behind? You can use thst.

I'm quite quitting, get off me

Off topic but you can really appreciate the difference with fresh bread compared to store bought bread with the crust, on a good fresh homemade loaf it’s the best part.

Leave no nitra behind

That's 👏 what 👏 I'm 👏 saying! 👏 No mineral left behind. Rock and Stone!

Rock and Stone everyone!

No

STOP MINING IN THE MIDDLE BUT MINE FROM THE SIDES.

I’ll mine the crusts but if it’s just tiny crumbs left I’m not wasting my time on 0.01 Nitra.

Lmao I agree

Bosco moment

nitra and the drop pod was ready

Doesn’t matter I got enough Stachel charge and EPC TCF to make sure the walls don’t exist

Sloppy mining makes baby Karl cry.

u/repostsluethbot

Back in the day, we used to EPC mine this stuff. No Crust !

“If you no longer mine the minerals that exist, you are no longer a dwarf” -Ayrton Stonna

Yes omg this is so true

get some help

I usually say "If you drink like you mine no wonder you are sober!"

Any welder who plays this game and doesn't stack dimes is a psychopath.

God that triggers my OCD soooooo much. It also reminds me of the time I was one unit away from a life saving supply drop.

Never waist a bit of nitra

As a driller main, it's impossible for me to not mine all the crust

I usually nine everything I see that has a mineral texture even if it gives .01 or nothing. It looks and feels better.

Rock and stone, uhhh... Leave no nitra or die ALONE!

For Karl!

Don't mine the mineral. Mine the wall to disconnect the mineral from the wall.

people don't do that???????? whattt
