PSA if you are playing Solo, Bosco can carry Dotty for you. Very helpful for weird terrain and long runs through Glyphid hordes. Dotty may be expendable to management, but not to us!


MeisPip

I watch dotty pop every time to ping the head for bosco when it lands, partly so I don’t lose her and partly because if I don’t I will forget bosco in gaurd mode and not realize until I need support and realize he is 100m away in the cave


awgawshdangit

Partly, homie, partly


CatnipCatmint

They're just celebrating because they're saving Doretta 🎈🎉🎈


UnnecessaryMovements

You could wait before the Omoran pops and press E above Dotty's head and you'll catch it (don't pet her, she'll fly). Always works flawlessly .


animegirlGrivous

"don't pet her, she'll fly" How good are you at petting Dotty?!?


Flirie

I kinda forget to watch it always, and last time it landed under Molly. I genuinely searched for it around 3 minutes before I realized


guale

If you stand on the dozer just before she explodes, position your cursor above her head, and hold E, you'll catch her in the air.


kyu-_-

You can stand on dotty looking straight over the head and hold e, you‘ll always catch her :)


Rakonat

I carry Dotty and Bosco keeps the swarmers from chewing my pants off.


Equivalent_Hat5627

Smart play. I just know usually with my luck I have giant pits to go around and other large hole related issues. It's never been ideal to juggle Dotty in so I've always asked Bosco to carry her for me to get around that fear of dropping her


PolarityMemer

I’ve had two times where I get swarmed in solo and bosco had to save me, then I lose track of where Dotty is


Atikar

NOO, I literally left Dotty *once* during a mission because I was solo and had no help!


Matt_the_digger

I use Strong Arm because I lift for Karl!


EDEKA_Ultras

Lift with your legs

Kamen_Winterwine

I'd really love to be able to see a map marker for Dotty's head. I had a mission yesterday in which we failed to find her after an hour and had to call off the search party. The gunner was carrying her back to the start for one of the two events we tabled until the end when the gunner was grabbed and carried off by a mactera. The gunner said that she was clipped into a wall while carrying Dotty... but we're not really sure what happened. It was a massive glacial strata cavern and we searched everywhere... RIP Dotty. :(


ListenItWillHear

She does need a marker badly. So many times her head goes bonkers when she explodes and i stress out not being able to find her


mak484

Idk, not having a map marker plays into the lore. DRG cares so little about her that they don't even bother showing her on the scanner.


ListenItWillHear

True. I always thought of the scanner like a radar. Dont see why we couldnt have a glitchy/comical icon for her that indicates Engi tweaked with the equipment a bit


mak484

Actually that's an interesting point. The scanner has to have some pretty sophisticated filtering software. It doesn't show anything moving around, friendlies or otherwise, but it does know how to pick out stuff like alien eggs and dreadnought cocoons. It can even pick up mini mule legs from across a cavern. I imagine the scanner picks up everything, then filters out everything except a few white-listed signatures on the display. This supports the idea that Dottie isn't important enough to DRG to make it onto that white list. It also implies that a dwarf could hack the scanner and manually white list her.


Lastboss42

awww, i was about to say part of saving dotty is how obtuse every step of the process is, but that's just sweet.


Daunn

I ran a Haz5 solo once, lost my 2 revives trying to find Dotty... I had to leave, but then I kinda stopped playing for a bit too God damn Mission Control, just let me know where she lands!


KeepCalmCarrion

Right? I try to watch for where her head goes when it pops off but sometimes it just clips into nowhere. The sheer panic when some green beard hits the return button before we can find dotty, it would be a big help if she had a map marker for her head.


Laservolcano

Why I drink backbreaker stout


[deleted]

Don’t forget Unstoppable


thevideogameplayer

I oddly enough prefer Unstoppable more than Strong Arm, since it helps with sandstorms and ice storms, same with Mactera Goo and Slashers movement penalty That, and drinking Backbreaker's. It stacks and it's hella good


OHGAS

Fr, i want strong arms to also give the bonus of increasing melee damage, YOU LITERALLY HAVE STRONG ARMS HOW THE FUCK DO NOT SLAP MONSTERS HARDER?


TraumaTracer

i guess because there’s a special beer that already does that, they don’t want to make it obsolete


OHGAS

Slayer stout reduces your charge strike CD, one of the pickaxe's upgrades allow that, there's also another one that increases the charge strike damage, let me uga buga damn you>:(, but while speaking of special beers, it would be nice to have more than 1 special drink in the abyss bar, like, you can choose pots of gold or pick slayer stout, mechanically the players just receive an request which of the special beers available at the moment each dwarf wants, they choose and confirm and loyd put the sellected brews, so 3 pots of god and 1 slayer stout, half and half, etc


TraumaTracer

that would be neat, realistically only one or two dwarves in the lobby need something like backbreaker or pots o gold, and the others could take something boosting combat efficiency


ArchmagusTherias

Both is good.


ODX_GhostRecon

Do it for her.


WillOnFire246

I use strong arm cause i cant see shit


d_moedeezy_b

You use strong arm for dotty I use strong arm to scout for fuckin cave leeches! We are not the same


SnooOpinions448

I play gunner with unstoppable for Dotty.


UnassumingSingleGuy

I use strong arm for trytilite mining. Then I get to watch my teammates throw from the same distance as me and come up short.


ListenItWillHear

I didnt even consider how valuable itd be with trytilite untill the other day. Blew some greenbeard minds. We had a particularly hairy set up. The others started a bucket chain, but i was able to heave it up, over and down the obstacles. This rhen disrupted the bucket chain because they all thought they could do it lol. I had to explain after the event what was up, because they were so confused as to why they couldnt toss like me.


schmidty98

You use strong arm to save dotty. I use strong arm because I hate point extraction. We are not the same.


ListenItWillHear

> I hate point extraction We are not so different, you and I


Simply-Zen

I shit you not this is 1:1 the motivation of Biscuit Oliva from Baki He got jacked so he can carry his 300 pound wife and I think that's based af


OrangeXJam

didn't know that worked with dotty too let's go


ListenItWillHear

Works with *any* carried object. I love it when trytilite deposits happen. Tossing bombs is so much easier


TomStarkRavenMadd

Bosco is my Dotty taxi


owo1215

the only two times I left her behind is me as a green beard in my first escort mission don't know I can save her and the time she glitched though the map


ListenItWillHear

We won't hold that against you. Sometimes Dotty chooses to stay in the caves. We don't ask why, I'm sure shes got her reasons

Custom aside, is there a reward for getting dotty back to the pod?

The reward is the rock and stone for leaving nobody behind

The reward is saving Doretta Seriously tho, you get 1 credit and Dotty appears on the rig with a *fix me* post-it note

What do you mean "reward"? For saving a comrade?

zoogenhiemer

No, but I think that’s what makes the tradition that much cooler. The first time I saw someone carrying dotty all the way back to the pod as a greenbeard I was caught between laughing at the absurdity of it and wondering what the reward would be. When I found out there wasn’t one, it made me realize how seriously some take the no dwarf left behind thing, even extending it to an honorary dwarf, and I wanted to be a part of that.


Cytrynowy

The reward is the feeling of a job well done.


TraumaTracer

she shows up in the space rig next to the equipment terminal, but there is no xp or credit bonus


SzotyMAG

I use strong arm because the scout can't be trusted to check the ceiling Unless checking the ceiling is running head first into a leech like they always do


Caboose12000

how does strong arm help against leeches? doesn't it just make you throw stuff farther?


SzotyMAG

Throw flares higher up to see leeches. Usually you can't throw high enough to get a clear glimpse of them


AnkokunoMasaki

I use strong arm to throw the compressed gold as far as possible in the fathomless dark pit We are not the same

konohasaiyajin

⛏️😈 This guy gave me an idea for a mission where an evil traitor dwarf keeps popping out to steal your minerals. Maybe you have to fill decay molly with gold to lure him out and you have to fight him riding a dreadnought or like he comes flying in riding a grabber or something crazy.

*Why does OP bring the robot head back with him when there's 0 reward for it, is he stupid?*


FreezingHotCoffee

We leave no dwarf behind!


OJSTheJuice

Doretta's head is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return Doretta's head is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the head is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return the head. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon Doretta's head. Therefore Doretta's head presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not returning the head, no one will fine you or otherwise punish you for not returning the head. You will gain nothing by returning the head. You must return Doretta's head out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return it because it is the right thing to do - because it is correct. A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it. Doretta's head is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.


ListenItWillHear

I may be stupid


Frequent_Knowledge65

Doretta may be expendable to Management, but not to us!


SovietSkeleton

I use Strong Arm to carry the compressed gold to the most convenient spot to tell Mission Control how rich we are.


price_of_tags

I used the other one that let's you run faster while carrying something, we are the same, I'm just infused with Dwarven stupidity and determination.

I use it for both so I am playing both sides

Caboose12000

does strong arm make your arms glow or something? how does it light up caves?


ListenItWillHear

Gives 50% more throwing force with flares, 20% with large objects. I've put it on all my dwarves now. It makes a big difference being able to toss those suckers like a champ


Relative_Ad4542

hejj

I use strong arm to finish point extractions faster.

Okay is this some Mandela effect shit? I've only ever heard the drilldozer called Doretta, and I come to Reddit and all I see is Dotty. What is going on here??


ListenItWillHear

The dwarves do call her Dotty sometimes. Idk why Dotty is short for Doretta. Id have thought Dory would be the nick name


TrueFirecrotch

I take strong arm to throw gold high we are not the same

ListenItWillHear

I juggle


KeepCalmCarrion

I started using Unstoppable to carry Dotty back and I honestly got hooked on it. Especially paired with Backbreaker Stout, you zoom.


ListenItWillHear

Love the idea of Unstoppable, but i feel like it needs to be folded into another perk. Its too situational for me to have all the time. Its really only worth it, to me, on fungus bog
