The Space Rig’s Biggest Secret… | Deep Rock Galactic

[@MusNothus]

In case you're curious how I found this, it was actually by accident. I'd seen random stuff floating around through space occasionally but had no idea where it came from. Then one day I was messing around with the "inspector" in the "sandbox utilities" mod, just scrolling through all the different assets in the space rig, and I saw "trash compactor." I didn't know what it was so I went over to where its coordinates were, and there was nothing there, but then I saw the trash emerging from below and I finally realized what it was. I really do think that it's probably the most hidden aspect of the space rig, since there's literally no visible sign that it's there until you walk up to it and trigger the trash to spawn.

[@MusNothus]

FYI, @tylerrusnak pointed out that they were able to get it to trigger more successfully when standing about a foot back from the left side of the yellow trapezoid on the window. The way I found the location I showed in the video was by finding the coordinates of the trash compactor trigger box in sandbox utilities, then setting my dwarf to those exact coordinates, and I've checked again in season 5 and that location hasn't changed. However, when testing again just now, I found I was able to trigger the trash compactor all the way from the left side of the left metal beam to the right side of the yellow trapezoid, which would place the center around the left side of the yellow trapezoid, so I guess the trigger box must have a lopsided shape or something.

[@garysingh3523]

You missed the most important thing: There is a chance to see Doretta's head coming out of the trash compactor. That's what they do with her head when we bring her back. They throw it back out into space.

[@MusNothus]

Oh that's very cool, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. What a dishonorable discharge for Dotty to receive after her service to the company.

[@Pokebustler]

Management could be saving a whole 100 gold recycling that head! Why would they send it to the trash????

[@thegoldenraysoftheglorious1180]

I'm gonna go take my silly little Armskore "The Mole" Coilgun to management. It will be a friendly conversation (they cannot run).

[@veryheavyalan]

Well that's nice to know that all the times I saved her was for nothing

Leaf lover mugs being dumped implies there were leaf lover mugs to be thrown away

[@MusNothus]

Let's pray to Karl they were never used and were just thrown out because no one ordered them...

[@lrobin-is8dg]

Orders leaf lovers just to pour it all out in space

[@Umbra_Ursus]

If you do the math, the Leaf Lovers aren't there for the "grunt" dwarves. The point, in actuality, seems to be to sober up Mission Control. And since he's likely the only one drinking the things, it'd make some sense to dump the extras.

[@Xephyranth]

kind of seems like sponsors from other companies or so, just like how gatorade sponsors some sport stuff but the players throw them on sight anyways (I mean if the tree huggers are giving drg money for their beer being sent to the rig, it's still easy cash while trashing the beer supply)

[@D_387]

not enough people are ordering them so the leftover mugs need to be thrown away i suppose

[@MrQuantumInc]

I always assumed the random barrels floating in space were the fault of the Dwarves dropping them into the launch tube.

[@MusNothus]

Ooo that'd be a cool addition, if kicking barrels into the launch tube and then trigger the trash compactor would send a bunch of barrels out into space.

[@l4zrh4wk]

>1,700 hours played and I had zero idea about this. Thanks DITNO!

[@DrillingInTheNameOf]

Thank Mus for this one! He found the asset when he was messing around in the Sandbox Utilities mod.

[@Draconis_Eltanin]

Damn, that dwarf pointing towards the videos to watch with the victory pose was so smooth: I am positively impressed!

[@MusNothus]

Haha thanks! I was very pleased when I first realized I could do that, so I was excited to put it in this video.

[@ASpaceOstrich]

@@MusNothus Well done. I've been wanting to try video editing again myself and thats the sort of neat thing that makes it so fun.

[@MusNothus]

@@ASpaceOstrich Thanks! I don't know many editing tricks like animations and stuff like that, so definitely whenever I'm able to come up with some little thing like this it makes it so satisfying.

[@qwertyq4073]

Didn't realize that was rival gear until now

[@MusNothus]

I'm not even sure what some of that stuff is because I haven't seen it elsewhere, but it seems like at least some of it is rival tech, so maybe they put some unused assets in there?

[@arlwiss5110]

combined with the spots to get out of the space rig, you can totally use this to get to Hoxxes

[@MusNothus]

That is a fantastic idea (unfortunately the objects eventually disappear and then you fall to your death, but I'd like to believe that there's still a way to get to hoxxes on the fridge)

[@-41337]

1,000 hours in DRG and I still didn't know this! There are so many little fun details in this game...

[@MusNothus]

I know! I wonder what else we haven't found yet...

[@qwp1884]

It would be really funny if all these items just being stored in the space rig is what causes the Playstation to have to do extreme ventilation in the space rig compared to the caves lmao

[@DrillingInTheNameOf]

🤣 that would be awesome

[@MusNothus]

Honestly I have noticed I get some frame drops when the trash comes out initially, so good call, I bet this would make the Playstation work hard when it's triggered

[@BenisMannn]

Console-cels stay losing

[@jacktheproslegend]

Unreal Engine always been extremely heavy on devices, I get 9 fps on my potato laptop and let me tell you this, it can never go under 9 fps, it is either 9 fps or a crash

[@rockowlgamer631]

I'm surprised they would throw out rival tech even if they've gleaned everything out of the components.

[@MusNothus]

Yeah seems like a waste of some nice shiny tech

[@snorpus]

you don't even need a mod to get outside the space rig :)

[@MusNothus]

Very true! I suppose a cooler way to do this is to get outside and then have a friend trigger the trash compactor so you can jump on the fridge. If anyone can manage to trigger the trash compactor solo and still get outside in time to get on the fridge without mods, I would be extremely impressed.

[@snorpus]

@@MusNothus hmm i'll try this later if i feel like playing drg for a bit

[@snorpus]

[@MusNothus]

@@snorpus Haha aw bummer, would've been cool

[@tylerrusnak7736]

PSA: To trigger you stand near the front of the window, about a foot behind from the left side of the yellow trapezoid on the outer window and look down. I got it to trigger every time.

[@MoistToenailFungus]

I might be crazy but I swear I saw a ghostly gibbus from Team Fortress 2 outside the space rig once, I swear I saw it.

[@bapbop2399]

it would be funny to see a random FUCKING FRIDGE with a random drink from the abyss bar while on a mission like that one sponser of how the fridge can survive a nuke

[@MusNothus]

Haha that'd be great

[@darkardor666]

Wow, I've spent many hours outside of the spacerig, I've gone nearly everywhere, seen everything there is to see pretty much. I've gone below the rig, so far above the rig you soft lock and so far out that you soft lock, inside all three planets and even the sun and I have never noticed that. Thank you for teaching me something new. Cheers!

[@MusNothus]

Cheers! Yeah this makes me wonder what else is hidden in the game that we haven't found yet...

[@DrillingInTheNameOf]

🪨&🪨⛏️

[@ojhat]

oh! so THIS is where they added the new trash assets to that were mentioned in the patch notes! I had long wondered what they meant when they were referring to jettisoned trash, I sortof assumed it was just random chance for stuff to fall through the launch bay when heading out on a mission.

[@zakthewack]

That ending was sick oh my god

[@MusNothus]

Haha thanks! I was excited to use that in a video once I figured out how to do it.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I have over 400 hours in this game and never seen this before

[@MusNothus]

It's so well hidden!

[@MalownMcOwnage]

If you watch the GSG Dev Stream, they do sometimes show the trash compactor

[@MusNothus]

Ah that's cool, I was wondering if they kept it completely hush hush or if they'd shown it off before!

[@hudsoneyseleh9444]

You could maybe make a video about how stationary enemies spawn in clusters, and that if you ever come across a lone stationary enemy like a spitballer, there's probably a cave leech nearby.

[@MusNothus]

Oh that's interesting, I didn't know about that

[@hudsoneyseleh9444]

@@MusNothus yeah, it has to do with how the caves are generated. Since stationary enemies don't spawn in, they're procedurally generated along with the caves, they tend to spawn in clusters in big caves. Since they spawn in clusters, it's usually good to assume that if you only see one or two lone stationary enemies, it's a high likelihood that there's some more that you don't see yet, but you may see too late as it grabs you and pulls you up into the ceiling

[@hudsoneyseleh9444]

[@MusNothus]

I wonder when they first added this, because I think I also first learned about it during the rivals seasons, but I can't remember

[@ivywillow1]

your scout looks exactly like mine, save the beard :0

[@MusNothus]

Haha nice! Yeah I settled on my cosmetics way early on so it's mostly stuff that you get pretty early, except I think the beard was a cosmetic matrix core. It is funny now realizing that I've been using the driller helmet for my scout, but it is what it is.

[@SIMULACRA37]

I wonder if you can trigger it from outside the space rig without sandbox

[@MusNothus]

Oh interesting idea, I haven't tried that before, but maybe it would be possible if the trigger box extends down far enough

[@RepugnantWorm]

Does anything else have collision, or just the fridge?

[@MusNothus]

A few other things do have collision, actually. Generally the larger objects will have collision, like panels and signs and stuff, though they can be a bit harder to land on. In season 5 they've added arcade cabinets which are also easy to get on top of. My dream would be to pull off playing jetty boot while flying through space, but it seems like they always spawn on their side so I don't think you can play the game out there.

[@LeLe-bo7cs]

[@yeetusdeletus8039]

That's pretty neat

[@MusNothus]

Neat is probably the perfect word for it

[@pakachakawaka]

Sandbox camera? how?

[@MusNothus]

There's a mod called "sandbox utilities" that has a ton of features that we've used for videos, and one of them is its free cam. Basically you press period and it puts you in free cam mode, then you can move that around anywhere you want, and if you hit comma then your dwarf will appear where the camera was. You can get outside the space rig without mods by finding places to clip through the walls with or without using either an underhill deluxe or a malt rockbearer, but doing it with the sandbox camera is much faster, so you can actually do it fast enough to get on top of the fridge before it's gone.

[@JNJNRobin1337]

are they atleast reverse engineering the rival gear?

[@MusNothus]

A dwarf can only hope. Speaking of which, if you haven't checked it out yet, switch your game to season 1 or 2 (I think either works) and check out the space rig. The developers custom decorated the space rig with rival tech stuff and it looks really cool.

[@callmecoco7498]

i will thanks cuh

[@MusNothus]

careful, you might anger the art director...

[@tylerrusnak7736]

I tried many times but never got it to trigger. Is there something im missing?

[@MusNothus]

Hmm, the two things I can think of are: 1) sometimes I try it like 3 or 4 times in a row and it doesn't work just by chance so maybe you've just gotten unlucky a bunch of times in a row, or 2) it's kind of a specific spot on that one window past the deep dive terminal where you have to run up it kind of just to the right of those rivets, so maybe you're slightly off on the position. I just tested it a bit earlier today and it still worked for me, so hopefully it'll work for you eventually.

[@tylerrusnak7736]

@MusNothus Hmm... I'm not sure. I'm standing right where you were and haven't gotten it yet. I'll keep trying though.

[@MusNothus]

@@tylerrusnak7736 I wish I could think of a better suggestion for troubleshooting it that just "keep trying," but I hope it works for you eventually!

[@tylerrusnak7736]

​@MusNothus Hey, just wanted to let you know, I figured out my problem a few days ago. You need to stand near the left side of the yellow trapezoid on the outer windows. I was near the metal beam and too far left to trigger it. Now I get it every time. The video was slightly misleading.

[@MusNothus]

@@tylerrusnak7736 Huh weird. The location I showed in the video is the exact location of the trigger box's coordinates in the sandbox utilities inspector (I found those coordinates and then used sandbox utilities to move my dwarf to that exact location and then took the video) so it should be the exact center of the trigger box, and I double checked just now and that location hasn't changed. But the trigger box must be an odd shape or something, because you're right that when I tested again just now I could get it to trigger all the way from the left side of the left beam of that window panel to the right side of the yellow trapezoid, which would put the center closer to where you described. Thanks for the tip! I'll put a clarifying comment below the pinned comment.

[@MusNothus]

@@tylerrusnak7736 Ohhh I was wondering why a bunch of people were mentioning Doretta because I didn't think I'd ever seen her head come out the trash compactor when I was filming this, but that's probably because I actually filmed this awhile back in season 4 and they did add several new things to the trash compactor in season 5 like the arcade cabinet and I guess it seems like Doretta's head too.

[@MusNothus]

@mraziiczech That's an interesting question, but I don't think it has an answer (I've even used the free cam to look inside the fridge and there's nothing inside it), so there's no actual "secret" that exists there. Of the secrets that actually exist (i.e., secrets the developers actually created and hid in the space rig), I do feel like the trash compactor is the biggest one. I'm sorry if you feel clickbaited, though; this discovery certainly blew me away!
