Someone a while ago mentioned an idea for this. Very occasionally, say about as rare as a dreadnought wave, you'd get an ordinary wave quickly followed by Mission Control chiming in with something like "uh, we're getting some weird readings here team, not sure what's happening. Brace for incoming!" and a whole swarm of beaten-up Steeve's with battered armor and partial healthbars pop out of the ground and help you kill any hostiles. Once the area is clear, any survivors would briefly howl or roar together and then burrow back into the ground. Mission Control would say something about "So that's what happens to them, huh? Neat. Now back to work, you lot."
Oh yes, that. There's a small chance for any mission with waves to spawn a dreadnought instead. For me, the one time it happened is when I was trying to teach someone how to play. Safe to say, they got a unique experience.
I've had about 10 in my 1.4k hours. Last one was a hiveguard during refining. Alas, I was playing sticky driller, but we managed.
I love dreadie waves. They add a little spice! ♡
I actually remember one time I was playing with my brother on a Liquid Morkite mission. We were there for over an hour trying to get the grind on a pipe for 120 seconds achievement. That was the first time we ever saw a Dreadnought wave, sometime after the 1 hour mark. And then I'm 99% sure we got ANOTHER Dreadnought wave in the same mission. Haven't seen one of those waves since. This was before the update that added new bosses like the twins or Hiveguard
I got a dreadnought wave 2 missions in a row with a friend one day, and I also had the unfortunate luck of dealing with a dread on my third ever mission, that I had to deal with alone
I got a dread spawn on a refinery mission once. And we kept it alive, just avoided him the whole time and finished the mission. It was one of the funnest missions I've ever done haha
I had one like that in salt pits, but I accidentally brought the whole roof's supply of stalactites on it, killing it just as I was about to get meleed and die
One of my very first missions was point extraction with my buddies who also just started playing and we got a dreadnaught right in the middle of it.
We all just assumed every mission has a boss in it and thought that it was a common occurrence. We learned better very quickly
I swear to god new players are prone to higher chances of rare shit. I was playing with my buddy who just installed and he got a dread wave and a crassus in the span of two missions (might've been the same mission, I don't recall exactly)
Guess what?
My friends and I got Surprise-Dreadnoughted in about our very first mission.
It headbutted us through a hole in the wall and we fell to our doom.
10/10 would be smote again.
I got two of them in the same match once. The first was easy enough to deal with. The second came after we dug up the last egg, someone found a BETC, and then a fucking Hiveguard appears. Hoxxes wanted us dead that mission, I wish I was making it up. Needless to say we didn't make it back alive.
Maybe this is the line between an experienced dwarf and a greybeard, haha
Yeah, there is a small chance for Dreads to spawn out of nowhere. Happened to me in solo and another mission or two within a short time the other week. Thought I was cursed for a moment.
I actually had one spawn DURING a dreadnought mission. We had two dreads, killed us because we couldn't focus fire.
That’d be awesome! Just knowing they’re all grouped up together and at least have each other is heartwarming.
Although I must admit I do also like the absurd theory that somehow the Rivals are the work of abandoned steeves that have somehow created their own robotic rival presence solely to hinder DRG’s mining operations for the sake of revenge. They mine the planets minerals just so DRG can’t get them.
It doesn’t make a bit of sense but it’s funny to think about. Bugs got so mad they technologically evolved just to be petty.
Just to be on the super sure side, I would probably also add that the event can only happen, if everyone in the team has patted a Steeve at least 10 times.
Just for the rare rare chance of new players can't get this event and be confused by it. But maybe I'm overthinking this. Would give a greybeard the opportunity to explain some game mechanics as well.
Of course it’s the same motherfucker who created the Plague Marine Comics. He can’t go two weeks without destroying my emotions. (I actually love him, his art, and his stories, but damn do they hurt.)
>He can’t go two weeks without destroying my emotions. (I actually love him, his art, and his stories, but damn do they hurt.)
u/Makmark Followers:Same...
Thank you. I hardly use twitter and didn’t realize there was a pinned… thread thing?
Anyway: I love a story that treats persisting through vulnerability as strength rather than weakness. Fragile, brittle men tell themselves they are “too strong” to feel. But strength is proven by the burdens we bear, not those we shirk.
My own personal headcanon : whenever you tame a Grunt, you're actually imbuing it with the very essence of the Dwarven spirit, therefore making every Steeve a honorary Dwarf.
And because dying a glorious death in battle is the kind of things that make a Dwarf worthy of Heaven, every single Steeve that died fighting his own kind has earned his place in the Dwarven afterlife, where rivers are made of beer and sandwiches grow on stalks.
By the way; if you die in the line of duty and see a Bulk Detonator or a Dreadnought Hiveguard in Heaven, don't worry : it's just Karl's Steeve.
The mod "Deep Rock Galactic - Reforged" has something...fairly close to a mature Dreadnought, at least in terms of *size*...try it out and go on a Raid, and bring friends with big guns.
That would be a cool random event. Instead of the mission you chose you get a chance that on your way down in the drill pod you see something massive appear and smash the pod into the ground. You can't kill it because it's too freeking big you just gotta survive long enough for a pickup pod to arrive. You get a special reward cosmetic if you survive.
I learned from the best. He came to me in a vision. He taught me secrets that make a dwarf crazed. Management is scared of all the eyes growing inside of me.
I hate you with every fibre of my being this hurts so much, my mom sang me this song all the time as a kid, and I read this in her voice, and I always brought my turret with me never leaving it behind, but only now did I realize... yeah, leaving steve behind too arnt we...
My head canon has always been you are manipulating a glyphid through pheromones and tech and the moment you leave steeve behind it comes to its senses and goes back to being a murder bug. It's much easier on my conscience.
I've said this before, but I think the Glyphids work like a hivemind and Steeve is a single rogue bug that inhabits the body of the Glyphid you tame, so every Steeve is the same little bugger in a different body.
Makes me feel better because instead of leaving him behind and him being sad he just patiently waits for the next Steeve call.
Even better, you should be able to customize your own steeve and take him on missions with you! Maybe some cool armors, colorations and upgrades. Stuff like movement speed and damage. Or the ability to carry heavy objects. I think you should be able to choose from the medium size bug types and each have their own upgrades.
Default, Slasher, Guard, Acid Spitter and Web Spitter. You should be able to decide between the pet Glyphid and Bosco on solo missions. (He can't be named Steeve, because that's the beast master perk one already.)
They could wear different armors and little hats, like the dwarfs, basically.
They should also get the weapon upgrade tree thingy, where you decide between 2/3 upgrades per slot. Each type having their own upgrades for the most part.
Also, for the lore he could be specifically genetically engineered to fit your needs. So he gets some cool upgrades, like regenerating carapace and a poison bite as an upgrade, for example.
There could also be a whole new mission type, where you have to take out a swarm, or specific amount of genetically engineered bugs, that were left behind on failed missions and bred.
I want that now.
We did literally see a bunch of glyphids pulling Santa’s sleigh during Christmas, so it’s certainly possible. Although there is also the fact that it was out in the vacuum of space.
You should pitch this idea to one of the devs. I know they said they weren’t going to add any more classes, but this one might be the one that convinces them to add another class!
You unlock the tree after using beastmaster on a glyphid. You return and can bring on on missions from then on. Like bosco but not. maybe a replacement for bosco, choose a Steeve or Bosco.
Yes plz, I think this would be very cool, instead of "taming" one mid mission, we "hatched" one and raised it, the levels now change it from a normal to a slasher/guardian, and give it armor and let us customize it a bit. It will come with us on missions till its carapace breaks (it dies) and it needs to retreat (gone till timer resets) to regenerate its carapace, eventually spawning nearby by crawling out of ground.
It'd be cool if you could choose between bosco and an immortal custom steeve for solo missions, that would be really interesting. But the idea someone else had of just adding a beastmaster class is also super intriguing.
Yes, I have only recently tamed my first Steeve but thought it would be really cool if they expanded on the system. The only reason I see that this can't happen is because then you are essentially getting a personal Bosco but I'm multiplayer.
I like all of this, I just feel like I'm in the minority that I'd rather it be Bosco.
I've a *lot* of hours in this game and still waste ammo shooting Steve. I don't know why the devs didn't make Beastmaster a small robot instead.
He's putting a quick end to steeve's life instead of leaving him in the dark caves of Hollywood 4 or whatever Dip Cock Galactus planet is called im new here
You know what? No! I refuse this possibility. My headcanon is that STEVE is an A.I with a puppy-like mind. I dowload ir by force in the mind of a bug to give STEVE a new body, my boy doesn't need one body. He has an infinite amount of them.
My head cannon is that we imbue the soul of steeve into different bugs, but follow us once we leave and each bug is the same bug we fell in love with but a different body.
Honestly I’m surprised with how much people like Steeve, that we don’t have a “beast master” class. I’m surprised we don’t have new classes in general, though I’m sure gsg will cook something up eventually.
But like, a class called the “Ringleader” or something like that’s a pure support class would be awesome.
Instead of grenades he has different types of Glyphids he brings in, his grenade ability being to heal/respawn his current glyphid. One could be a pack of swarmers, one could be two grunts, another could be a single praetorian, and the fourth could be two mattera spawn. And they just follow him and fight for the team. R&D really were using those eggs we’ve been collecting for something.
Support tool could be a healing weapon. Suck up excess red sugar and blast your teammates with it when they need. Someone has to keep these Bozos alive, and Mission Control gave you just the tool to do it.
Class item could be a long range support pistol, either overcharging the shield of a dwarf at range, or temporarily getting the up and back in the fight from a safe distance, allowing them to get back to the team for a safer revive. Think second wind but as a limited use dwarf tool. Of course it would need LOS and an effective range, but a tool is only as useful as the dwarf who’s using it.
I think it could be fun to have a dwarf like that, who’s all about his friends. Even the bug shaped ones
I heard shortly after your escape pod leaves, another escape pod shows up just for Steeve and takes him to a nice quiet farm out on a remote planet where he can be with the other Steeves Unfortunately you can't go visit the farm but it's totally real and exists.
Since I don't see anyone linking the [source](https://twitter.com/Mick19988/status/1619733786236973056) yet and I don't believe you are the original artist commenting it below. @ Mick19988 on twitter. Not really cool of you to post without mentioning the source OP.
It breaks my heart every time I have to leave steeve behind. We really should just have a pet glyphid in the station, kind of like that one headcrab in half life 2
Whats worse, he isn't left alone like that. Steeves often will get torn to shreds by other Glyphids.
This is why I always drink blackout stout when I use the beastmaster, to forget about the steeve's I've left to die.
*Every time you tame a steve, he does come with you. There's a small but growing section of DRG, born out of the Miner's need to take them home dedicated to the taming of glypids. Every time a steeve survives, he is taken to an ecology department, to assist in the testing and learning of glyphid physiology. Thus, giving the DRG company a valuable insight into the Glyphid species, and boosting morale. Visits are encouraged.*
That's my headcannon and I'll fight any-fucking-body I need to over it.
I feel like there should be, like, a Steeve terrarium in the Memorial Hall. You could see 4-5 of them hanging around, doing bug things, and there'd be a counter on the side showing how many Steeves you've saved (for example, "2 Grunts - 4 Slashers - 10 Guards"), by having one walk into the Drop Pod (and it'll OBVIOUSLY yell in celebration as the pod ascends).
Someone a while ago mentioned an idea for this. Very occasionally, say about as rare as a dreadnought wave, you'd get an ordinary wave quickly followed by Mission Control chiming in with something like "uh, we're getting some weird readings here team, not sure what's happening.

>say about as rare as a dreadnought wave a what
Oh yes, that. There's a small chance for any mission with waves to spawn a dreadnought instead. For me, the one time it happened is when I was trying to teach someone how to play. Safe to say, they got a unique experience.
I hear the odds are 1 in 80 missions. Though I got a bit lucky - got them 3 times in 200h. Strangely enough, it was the regular dread every time.
It's a 1.53% chance so 1 in 65
I must have misremembered ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ Anyway, where did you get that number? I couldn't find it on the dreadnought's wiki page
I've had about 10 in my 1.4k hours. Last one was a hiveguard during refining. Alas, I was playing sticky driller, but we managed. I love dreadie waves. They add a little spice! ♡
I've had *maybe* 3-5 in 776h, so actually I'd say you're rather unlucky. Or maybe I'm just made of it, I guess, who knows.
I actually remember one time I was playing with my brother on a Liquid Morkite mission. We were there for over an hour trying to get the grind on a pipe for 120 seconds achievement. That was the first time we ever saw a Dreadnought wave, sometime after the 1 hour mark. And then I'm 99% sure we got ANOTHER Dreadnought wave in the same mission. Haven't seen one of those waves since. This was before the update that added new bosses like the twins or Hiveguard
I had two in my last play session. One on the EDD.
I got a dreadnought wave 2 missions in a row with a friend one day, and I also had the unfortunate luck of dealing with a dread on my third ever mission, that I had to deal with alone
That’s like my first time just we had to fight a nemisis
Only on mining mission, liquid morkite, and point extraction i think
I got a dread spawn on a refinery mission once. And we kept it alive, just avoided him the whole time and finished the mission. It was one of the funnest missions I've ever done haha
I got it on a deep dive during liquid morkite refining
A Dread spawned on my first ever mission right out of the tutorial. That was when I knew, this game was special...and got a fear of Dreads
One of the only times I got it was on a refining mission that was extremely stingy on nitra, and in a damm small cave, that was a fun mission
I had one like that in salt pits, but I accidentally brought the whole roof's supply of stalactites on it, killing it just as I was about to get meleed and die
One of my very first missions was point extraction with my buddies who also just started playing and we got a dreadnaught right in the middle of it. We all just assumed every mission has a boss in it and thought that it was a common occurrence. We learned better very quickly
Same! I was so confused afterwards, because it *never* happened to me anymore, so I thought it was a bug (no pun intended).
Does it scale with difficulty? and is it rarer than like meteorites and an optional boss (Korlok / the robots) spawn?
The first time I got a dread wave was also my first non-bosco mission lol
If I remember correctly, this could pnly happen on Refinery, Mining, and Pint Extractions.
I've gotten that twice in over 100 hours. Both times were on Point Extraction missions.
Same for me, the first time it happened was when I helped my gf on her first mission after the initial tutorial — thankfully it was only haz 1 :)
I swear to god new players are prone to higher chances of rare shit. I was playing with my buddy who just installed and he got a dread wave and a crassus in the span of two missions (might've been the same mission, I don't recall exactly)

[удалено]
Reminds me when I was teaching someone how to play Sea of Thieves and the kraken spawned as soon as we set sail
There's a chance that in the middle of a mission dreadnought will spawn and mission control will warn you about it like if it was swarm
You can have a dreadnought spawn as opposed to a regular wave of enemies but it's quite rare. Never had it happen to me
I had it happen four missions in a row. RNG has a particular bias against me.
Any normal (non-triggered) wave has a 1/65 chance of being any one of the three dreadnoughts.
THE. WHAT.
Maybe this is the line between an experienced dwarf and a greybeard, haha Yeah, there is a small chance for Dreads to spawn out of nowhere. Happened to me in solo and another mission or two within a short time the other week. Thought I was cursed for a moment. I actually had one spawn DURING a dreadnought mission. We had two dreads, killed us because we couldn't focus fire.
“Not alone. DWARFIRIM!”
Dear GSG, if you by chance have nothing to do or even if you have a ton of shit to do, please make this happen.
They should have a rare drop that is a Steve beacon. That summons all the Steves.
That’d be awesome! Just knowing they’re all grouped up together and at least have each other is heartwarming. Although I must admit I do also like the absurd theory that somehow the Rivals are the work of abandoned steeves that have somehow created their own robotic rival presence solely to hinder DRG’s mining operations for the sake of revenge. They mine the planets minerals just so DRG can’t get them. It doesn’t make a bit of sense but it’s funny to think about. Bugs got so mad they technologically evolved just to be petty.
I think elves are more likely tbh. They use robots because they don't wanna get their hands dirty.
I need this. Either official or a mod.
Just to be on the super sure side, I would probably also add that the event can only happen, if everyone in the team has patted a Steeve at least 10 times. Just for the rare rare chance of new players can't get this event and be confused by it. But maybe I'm overthinking this. Would give a greybeard the opportunity to explain some game mechanics as well.
u/GSG_jacob pls 🥲
That’s a good idea, we need to get GSG on this
That would be so so awesome.
ROCK AND STONE!

I sing this song to my son before bed every night. I also abandon a lot of Steves. Oof.
damn

Karl has a fully grown dreadnaut as a steeve. XD
I don't even want to know what they look like full grown.
I actually hope that one season they release em
We gotta see it slap the shit outta a bigass drill like the Drop Pod but with enough C4 to make Drillers naturally spawn inside.
The mod "Deep Rock Galactic - Reforged" has something...fairly close to a mature Dreadnought, at least in terms of *size*...try it out and go on a Raid, and bring friends with big guns.
I hope they're actually unkillable, and if you trigger them showing up all you can do is run.
Thats just haunted caves
That would be a cool random event. Instead of the mission you chose you get a chance that on your way down in the drill pod you see something massive appear and smash the pod into the ground. You can't kill it because it's too freeking big you just gotta survive long enough for a pickup pod to arrive. You get a special reward cosmetic if you survive.
Unkar's balls!
Karl is actually so powerful he has another Karl as Steve
[удалено]
*"a little drinky for my favorite bug"*
I love this, but Ironic the War Crime Class has this emotional of a thought XD
Management doesn't know this but I've smuggling Hoxxes wildlife onto the space rig. We have 3 Bulk Detonators in med bay.
DRG encroaches on my right as a dwarf to keep 20 Lootbugs in my room and I don't like it.
They can't get on the rig. I have tamed several dreadnoughts to defend it from them.
Karl? Is that you?
I learned from the best. He came to me in a vision. He taught me secrets that make a dwarf crazed. Management is scared of all the eyes growing inside of me.
...I don't think dwarves are supposed to have eyes inside of em, brother. You sure that was Karl?
He rode upto me on a Glyhpid Queen and bestowed upon me indwarfen knowledge.
For karlthulhu!
I hate you with every fibre of my being this hurts so much, my mom sang me this song all the time as a kid, and I read this in her voice, and I always brought my turret with me never leaving it behind, but only now did I realize... yeah, leaving steve behind too arnt we...
Bruh same I'm crying thinking about my Nana 😭
My head canon has always been you are manipulating a glyphid through pheromones and tech and the moment you leave steeve behind it comes to its senses and goes back to being a murder bug. It's much easier on my conscience.

Makes me feel better because instead of leaving him behind and him being sad he just patiently waits for the next Steeve call.
ditto to this!
Steeve is the spirit of Karl, aiding those who know how to call upon him
Yeah, I’ve always thought the same thing.
This
Even better, you should be able to customize your own steeve and take him on missions with you! Maybe some cool armors, colorations and upgrades. Stuff like movement speed and damage. Or the ability to carry heavy objects. I think you should be able to choose from the medium size bug types and each have their own upgrades. Default, Slasher, Guard, Acid Spitter and Web Spitter. You should be able to decide between the pet Glyphid and Bosco on solo missions. (He can't be named Steeve, because that's the beast master perk one already.) They could wear different armors and little hats, like the dwarfs, basically. They should also get the weapon upgrade tree thingy, where you decide between 2/3 upgrades per slot.

There could also be a whole new mission type, where you have to take out a swarm, or specific amount of genetically engineered bugs, that were left behind on failed missions and bred. I want that now.
New Dwarf Class: Beastmaster Steeve is now your mount!
I feel like a medium sized bugger couldn't carry a dwarfs weight. You'd need like a Praetorian for that.
Multiple grunts pulling a chariot, gladiator style?
We did literally see a bunch of glyphids pulling Santa’s sleigh during Christmas, so it’s certainly possible. Although there is also the fact that it was out in the vacuum of space.
Wings work in a vacuum right?
Two Swarmers, one under each foot, moving you around like you're on a "hoverboard".
I mean, ants can carry many times their weight. Who says grunts can't as well?
What if the beastmaster is a gnome with a particularly dwarfish beard
You should pitch this idea to one of the devs. I know they said they weren’t going to add any more classes, but this one might be the one that convinces them to add another class!
You unlock the tree after using beastmaster on a glyphid. You return and can bring on on missions from then on. Like bosco but not. maybe a replacement for bosco, choose a Steeve or Bosco.
Why not we just bring home Steeve like he's a rescue puppy and mod him from there? (Gently, of course)
I like the way you think
Yes plz, I think this would be very cool, instead of "taming" one mid mission, we "hatched" one and raised it, the levels now change it from a normal to a slasher/guardian, and give it armor and let us customize it a bit. It will come with us on missions till its carapace breaks (it dies) and it needs to retreat (gone till timer resets) to regenerate its carapace, eventually spawning nearby by crawling out of ground.
I want a steve with a mini gun on his back
YES I WANNA SOLO WITH STEEV
It'd be cool if you could choose between bosco and an immortal custom steeve for solo missions, that would be really interesting. But the idea someone else had of just adding a beastmaster class is also super intriguing.
Steeve skins! I'd want that. Could help players differentiate it from the other bugs faster.
Absolutely. I shot my teammate's Steeves uncountable times. I always feel so sorry...
As long as you gave him head pats afterwards. Then all is forgiven.
Yes, I have only recently tamed my first Steeve but thought it would be really cool if they expanded on the system. The only reason I see that this can't happen is because then you are essentially getting a personal Bosco but I'm multiplayer.
Bosco or steeve as a solo helper
that would be very rock and stone
Rock and Stone forever!
Good bot
Ngl I’d permanently use the Beast Master perk if I could customize my glyphid.
I want them to implement this so much!
I've always wanted them to put on a hat with their claw then give a little salute when getting charmed. And the hat has a little strap hehe
Yeah make Steeve a companion and when he dies he's stunned for a minute or whatever the cooldown currently is on the ability.
I like all of this, I just feel like I'm in the minority that I'd rather it be Bosco. I've a *lot* of hours in this game and still waste ammo shooting Steve. I don't know why the devs didn't make Beastmaster a small robot instead.
Fancy Steve is my favourite mod!
This is Steeve. He Protecc He Attacc But most importantly... He will Never come Back.
Thats why i shoot him at the end of the mission, Shepherd style
He's my dog, pa, I'll do it.
I mean, personally, I went with Synthesis, not Destroy.
That's one less loose end
But.. that's even more fucked up... ಠ_ಠ
He's putting a quick end to steeve's life instead of leaving him in the dark caves of Hollywood 4 or whatever Dip Cock Galactus planet is called im new here
Hoxxes IV lol
Nah it's Hollywood 4 now.
Dwarven Hollywood. Dollywood?
Mollywood
Or Makarov style. "That was no message..."
Stop making me almost cry
Almost?
The tears were there, the tears were there… they just didn’t fall out.
I think I've seen this comic before. Please credit the original artist.
Mick19988 on Twitter
Yeah, he’s the one who did this He’s also the bastard who did the Salamander/Death Guard comic series :(
I'm sad now. . .
Read it in reverse its much better
thank you I needed this
I always feel so guilty leaving steeve behind. Let us bring steeve home! This comic made me deeply sad
If only they allowed bugs on the space rig
Don't do this to me man I'm at work
Omg you just made my wife cry Also, echos of Fry's dog in Futurama
This hit me right in the rock and stone :'(
That's it lads! Rock and Stone!
You know what? No! I refuse this possibility. My headcanon is that STEVE is an A.I with a puppy-like mind. I dowload ir by force in the mind of a bug to give STEVE a new body, my boy doesn't need one body. He has an infinite amount of them.
My head cannon is that we imbue the soul of steeve into different bugs, but follow us once we leave and each bug is the same bug we fell in love with but a different body.
This thought is the only thing pulling me through this
It the same story with Bosco.
My headcanon is that Bosch goes into a compartment on the drop pod, like Molly.
Mine is that he just keeps kicking ass until he gets bored and flies home.
Dude why would you do this? Now I'm sad...
Same. Rude OP is rude.
Honestly I’m surprised with how much people like Steeve, that we don’t have a “beast master” class. I’m surprised we don’t have new classes in general, though I’m sure gsg will cook something up eventually. But like, a class called the “Ringleader” or something like that’s a pure support class would be awesome.

Someone has to keep these Bozos alive, and Mission Control gave you just the tool to do it. Class item could be a long range support pistol, either overcharging the shield of a dwarf at range, or temporarily getting the up and back in the fight from a safe distance, allowing them to get back to the team for a safer revive. Think second wind but as a limited use dwarf tool. Of course it would need LOS and an effective range, but a tool is only as useful as the dwarf who’s using it. I think it could be fun to have a dwarf like that, who’s all about his friends. Even the bug shaped ones
How DARE you make me tear up!
Why would you hurt me on purpose OP?
oh... great. I'm gonna need some blackout stout, right about now
"*When the damn bugs start to feel like family, you know it's time to quit!*"
That’s why I always put Steeve down before leaving.
old yeller style… just look at the flowers steeve…
Look steeve, mushroom!
Leaving a dwarf behind is not rock and stone, and Steeve is a honourary dwarf so leaving him behind is not rock and stone
Steevie? I wonder.
Well now I'll never have another Steve...
IVE BEEN LOOKING IN THE HOLLOW BOUGH FOR 12 HOURS I CANT FIND HIM
AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU IF IT TAKES A THOUSAND SUMMERS
Not Steve... Seymour!!
I heard shortly after your escape pod leaves, another escape pod shows up just for Steeve and takes him to a nice quiet farm out on a remote planet where he can be with the other Steeves Unfortunately you can't go visit the farm but it's totally real and exists.

This makes me much more sad when I tame a glyphid now.
Now look at it backwards, it's way better
Since I don't see anyone linking the [source](https://twitter.com/Mick19988/status/1619733786236973056) yet and I don't believe you are the original artist commenting it below. @ Mick19988 on twitter. Not really cool of you to post without mentioning the source OP.
One of the devs has a reddit account
This is why I never run Beastmaster anymore.
Bro :(
I’m not crying… you’re crying! Rock and… sniff… stone! For Steeve!
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS
What really hurts is that the glyphid turned on its own kind, and is now left at the mercy of its peers after you leave.
Beleeve in Steeve!
How dare you make me experience such emotion
It breaks my heart every time I have to leave steeve behind. We really should just have a pet glyphid in the station, kind of like that one headcrab in half life 2
Crazy how i didnt need to be sad
Whats worse, he isn't left alone like that. Steeves often will get torn to shreds by other Glyphids. This is why I always drink blackout stout when I use the beastmaster, to forget about the steeve's I've left to die.
It’s 8 in the morning I didn’t need to cry right now
Always explode Steve with the Scout at the end of the mission as a sacrifice for riches to come
you used to be able to but managment had to put some rules in place when the glyphids started trying to burrow into the glass
I know nothing about this game, but I'm sad now
I imagine that as soon as the hatch closes hundreds of glyphids swarm and eat Steve alive.
Please give us a victory emote where you have Steeve at your side
How dare you make me feel emotions for a glyphid
Why the fuck you gotta start my Monday morning with such heartbreak?
*Every time you tame a steve, he does come with you. There's a small but growing section of DRG, born out of the Miner's need to take them home dedicated to the taming of glypids. Every time a steeve survives, he is taken to an ecology department, to assist in the testing and learning of glyphid physiology. Thus, giving the DRG company a valuable insight into the Glyphid species, and boosting morale. Visits are encouraged.* That's my headcannon and I'll fight any-fucking-body I need to over it.
I feel like there should be, like, a Steeve terrarium in the Memorial Hall. You could see 4-5 of them hanging around, doing bug things, and there'd be a counter on the side showing how many Steeves you've saved (for example, "2 Grunts - 4 Slashers - 10 Guards"), by having one walk into the Drop Pod (and it'll OBVIOUSLY yell in celebration as the pod ascends).
hey op im at a restaurant rn for my moms birthday and am tearing up from this post
This is why you execute every Steve before leaving, so they arnt mauled.
