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 kick barrels into the Barrel Hoop.

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 receive a Hazard Bonus for completing a Mission while drunk.

On the bar's counter players can see a small green tipping device, where they may pay 5 credits to leave a tip. This has no effect besides triggering a random dwarf voiceline thanking Lloyd.

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

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 Barley Bulb, Yeast Cone Yeast Cone, Malt Star Malt Star and Starch Nut 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 means beer. This beer, in fact. And it is lovely.

The potency of the drink will affect the intoxication level of the player, adding to the total, causing different effects after passing certain thresholds. The intoxication level goes down by 1% every 24 seconds.

Intoxication (%) Effect
0-25 Nothing
26-39 Slightly blurred vision
40-49 Player begins to stumble around
50-59 Stumbling worsens, double vision begins to creep towards central vision
60-69 Vision begins to notably sway
70-89 Staggering gradually gets worse
90-99 Random slurred speech begins. Staggering becomes more and more extreme. Vision fully blurred.
100%+ Erratic movement becomes sharp, player passes out shortly after.

The Barrel Hoop

The Barrel Hoop 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. The player will die if they jump into the incinerator hoop, only to respawn in the medbay afterwards. If the player dies while intoxicated, they will receive an achievement.

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.
