Abyss Bar

The Abyss Bar

“	No Refunds! No Refills! No Regrets!
	— Abyss Bar Slogan

The Abyss Bar is a large section on the main floor of the Space Rig. Here you can have a drink with your fellow dwarves, dance to the tunes on the jukebox or take rounds trying to hit a moving incinerator with barrels.

The Bar

At the Bar, you can order a drink from the robot bartender Lloyd. A price list is visible on the top right corner of the bar and when talking to Lloyd.

Starting from Rank 3, players are able to purchase Beers from the Abyss Bar. Depending on the potency of the drink and how many are consumed, the player's character may become intoxicated. The effects of intoxication include borders of the screen becoming a wavy double-image, the player's view will wobble around randomly and the player's character will move in random directions of their own accord. These effects will become more extreme if the player drinks more Beer, and if too much Beer is consumed in a short amount of time, the player's character will pass out drunk. If alone the player will respawn in the Infirmary, though if other players are present they will need to be revived - similar to losing all of one's health in a Mission. Either way, the player will wake up sober.

It is possible to enter a Mission while intoxicated, though there is no incentive for doing so besides bragging rights. You will not recieve a Hazard Bonus for completing a Mission while drunk.

Players who suffer motion sickness are advised to avoid drinking too much, as the effects of being drunk can cause dizziness and nausea. Make sure to drink Leaf Lover's Special to "cure" the effects of intoxication.

Lloyd

Lloyd the robotic bartender

Lloyd the robotic bartender seems to be an all-purpose drone, similar to Bosco. However he wears a hat and bow tie, as well as being connected to what seems to be barrels of Ale in the ceiling. He can dispense drinks from his arms to serve the player if they order a drink from the bar.

By approaching and interacting with Lloyd, he projects a list of the available drinks with descriptions and price tags for you to order from. Upon ordering, as many tankards as there are players in your lobby will emerge, quickly being filled by Lloyd. Then each player can grab a tankard, give a salute and drink.

If the player cannot afford, or hasn't reached the rank requirement to purchase a drink, Lloyd will deny them service by shaking its chassis/head.

Available drinks

"Management reminds all employees that contrary to common belief the available drinks do intoxicate dwarves, do have influence on their ability to walk straight and do possess the potential to knock them out."

Craftable and special beers will require brewing materials found in missions in the form of collectible plants: Barley Bulb, Yeast Cone, Malt Star and Starch Nut.

Corporate Issue

These drinks are always available.

Label	Mug	Name	Price	Potency	Description
		Oily Oaf Brew	35 Credits 3 Rank	Regular	The Oily Oaf. A classic. While one of the lighter drinks available, the rich, buttery aftertaste coupled with the low price tag means the Oaf is here to stay.
		Glyphid Slammer	85 Credits 7 Rank	Strong	An adventurous mix of a cheap, powerful ale with an equally cheap, powerful energy drink. The result is almost, but not quite, entirely undrinkable. But it sure does put a spring in your step.
		Leaf Lover's Special	25 Credits 3 Rank	Refreshing	Buff: Removes Drunk status effect. The Leaf Lover is on this chart entirely to please Management. It kicks like a mule, except it does so in the wrong direction. The Leaf Lover will kill your buzz faster than a pay cut, and leave you with the same empty feeling in your gut. Still, it can be handy on Inspection Day. Just don't tell anyone you drank it.

Today's Special

These 8 drinks provide the dwarves with a buff once consumed. Only one of them is sold at a time, the special drink changes upon mission rotation and buffs can't be stacked.

Label	Mug	Name	Buff	Price	Potency	Description

		Dark Morkite	x2 x1.44 Morkite Mined	2 Barley Bulb	Regular	The original DRG-approved brew. Bitter and heady, though not so strong as to incapacitate the workforce.
		Pots O' Gold	x2 x4 Gold Mined	3 Barley Bulb	Regular	Pots O' Gold - otherwise know as "Liquid Luck" - has been know to instill any red-blooded dwarf with sharply enhanced senses and an impressive lust for sweet, sweet gold...gold...GOLD! Riches surely await anyone lucky enough partake of this elusive brew.
		Red Rock Blaster	x1.3 x1.69 Max Health	1 Barley Bulb	Light	When you absolutely, positively got to kill everything in your path, accept no substitutes. Equal parts prime aged stout, habanero sauce, and military-grade combat stim, the Red Rock Blaster will make you see RED!

		Skull Crusher Ale	+10 +20 base Pickaxe Damage	2 Barley Bulb	Regular	The cosmic fury of a thousand raging suns course through this midnight-black, glistening concoction. People ask why we remember Karl. People ask what made him a legend. Rumor has it Skull Crusher Ale is at least partly to blame. Make of that what you will. Beware.
		Slayer Stout	x0.5 x0.25 Pickaxe Power Attack Cooldown	2 Barley Bulb	Strong	A rare and much desired brew. Continuing the millennia-old tradition, this heady ale was imbibed by the strongest, most fiercest, most absolutely rabid dwarves of old before heading into glorious battle seeking an honorable end. Not for the faint of heart.
		Tunnel Rat	-30% -60% Fall Damage (additive)	3 Barley Bulb	Safe For Work	The Smoothest of brews, known to instill such confidence and grace into even the clumsiest dwarf as to make any sober dwarf blanch. Be warmed: Overconfidence is not covered by the company insurance.

Strategies

• It might be worth checking the Abyss Bar to see what special is on offer before heading to the Mission Terminal; some Specials provide niche effects which benefit certain missions more than others.
  • For example Backbreaker Stout is only really effective on Point Extraction and Egg Hunt missions, whereas Dark Morkite is obviously meant for Mining Expedition levels.
• If Pots O' Gold is available, consider checking to see if any missions have the Gold Rush mutator; the combination of these two events can result in over a thousand Gold being extracted in one mission, resulting in a huge payout. Note: The effect only applies to gold mined with a pickaxe. Gold detached from the walls by environmental effects or with a weapon will not be doubled.
• Rocky Mountain is helpful to drink when doing Missions in Biomes where the common rock takes three pickaxe hits to destroy, such as the Crystalline Caverns or the Radioactive Exclusion Zone. It isn't very useful in the Sandblasted Corridors, where terrain already takes just one hit to destroy.
  • Rocky Mountain will not reduce the amount of hits needed to destroy unique terrain such as the Granite Towers in the Sandblasted Corridors. This is likely a bug.
• Drinks such as Red Rock Blaster and Slayer Stout are excellent Specials to drink in preparation for a Deep Dive, as their generalist effects will remain useful in all stages and potential Mutators.
• If you have a surplus of Barley Bulbs, consider being the gentleman of the team and buy a round of Specials for you and your fellow Dwarves before a mission begins.

		Underhill Deluxe	The player shrinks in size.	4 Yeast Cone	Regular	Beer License Cost: Rank 5, 350 Credits, 17 Yeast Cone, 5 Malt Star, 8 Starch Nut In a hole in the ground, there lived a brewer. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to drink; it was a brewery, and that mean s beer. This beer, in fact. And it is lovely.
		Wormhole Special	Teleports the player to a random location (either inside the Drop Pod or outside the Space Rig.)	1 Yeast Cone 2 Malt Star 3 Starch Nut	Strong	Beer License Cost: Rank 17, 1500 Credits, 10 Yeast Cone, 20 Malt Star, 40 Starch Nut There are some breweries out there that will go to any lengths to attract customers. There are dark rumors surrounding the Wormhole Special - dark and ominous as the blackness of space itself - but damn if it ain't tasty even so. Drink with caution and respect. Grasp your knees tightly and close your eyes. It'll be over soon.

Bonus Drink

Drinks that can only be ordered by owners of the Supporter Edition.

Label	Mug	Name	Price	Potency	Description
		Glyphid Slammer Supporter Edition	85 Credits 7 Rank	Strong	This version of the Glyphid Slammer is a drink only available to purchase by owners of the Supporter Edition of the game. It is functionally identical to the regular Glyphid Slammer, but comes in a golden tankard, and replaces the regular Glyphid Slammer in the bar.

Hoop the Barrel

The Hoop the Barrel mini-game is located at the back of the Abyss Bar.
Players stand behind a barrel which is dispensed from above, and attempt to kick the barrel into a moving hoop that incinerates barrels, beer mugs and dwarves that pass through it. Scores can be reset via the red button to the right of the game. Since Update 20: Bigger, Better, Bosco the player will die if they jump into the incinerator hoop, only to respawn in the medbay afterwards.

Scoring and point values

The game consists of four phases, with the first phase active while no barrels have been passed through the hoop.
Upon entry of a barrel, the game will allocate the appropriate points, and proceed to the next multiplier phase.
All phases above first phase remain active until the hoop 'bounces' back 3 times from the time of a barrel's entry into it.
If another barrel is passed through the hoop within the time limit, the game will progress to the next phase, capping out at Phase 4 where the point values are multiplied by 4.
If a barrel is not passed through the hoop within the time limit, or a shot is missed, the game is returned to phase 1.

Item	Phase 1 (1x Modifier)	Phase 2 (2x Modifier)	Phase 3 (3x Modifier)	Phase 4 (4x Modifier)
Beer Mug	1 Point	2 Points	3 Points	4 Points
Normal Barrel	10 Points	20 Points	30 Points	40 Points
Green Barrel	10 Points	20 Points	30 Points	40 Points
Yellow Barrel	10 Points	20 points	30 Points	40 Points
Red Barrel	25 Points	50 Points	75 Points	100 Points
Forge Hammer	Hammer Time (No Score)
Forge Toolbox	No Score
Player	No score (but see Achievements)

First phase has a 1x point modifier, Second phase 2x, Third phase 3x, and 4th phase 4x. Phases are indicated by the size of the text on the scoreboard located above the moving hoop, although the text size does not increase between phases 3 and 4.
