I never noticed that he has a custom recruitment dialog. Awesome!

several text errors in blue, I'm playing in Brazilian Portuguese.

I adore this mod. Henry feels really natural to the game - sturdy along narrow strengths, with some nice perks, and some real limitations that make composition matter. Great art, and great sounds. Wonderful work.

Still want to say, this is one of the most creative, awesome, and just downright high quality mods ever made. The color of madness subtheme just ties it all together.

Hi modder, there's a translation for portuguese br in the discussion, add to the mod pls :praisesun:

Well John Henry hammered in the mountain, he'd give a grunt and he'd give groan with
Every swing, the folks for miles around, thirty men come down, to watch him
Make the cold steel ring, lord what a swinger, just listen to that cold steel ring

if it's not too much to ask, would you be willing to list what the different trinkets do?
Mosley was right Mar 4, 2022 @ 12:43pm 
Wait: John Henry?! Haha! That's epic!

Sixteen tons! Whaddaya get? An other day older and deeper in debt!

I think TNT is a bit too loud, otherwise, perfect mod

love this guy. such a cool concept and great design:steamthumbsup:
青涩后妈 Sep 10, 2021 @ 3:27am 
I think it's.......Just not powerful enough.He looks so strong but the damage is too low.

Hey, the "Cristaline Conductor" seems to be bugged, or not working as intended. I very much like the idea, but "will always burst after 2 rds" doesn't happen in my game, as sometimes it doesn't damage the enemy for a few rounds. I believe it activates when the enemy attacks and doesn't when they heal or buff themselves, but it's kind of random, and doesn't activate 1/2.

Great mod otherwise ^^

amazing mod!but I cant activates the buff of Outsiders Bonfire.
boshmi Feb 5, 2021 @ 4:51am 
Didn't read all of the description and brought him into DD2 without a talisman thinking the hero's ring would mean I wouldn't need to worry.

Anyway love that class - probably the best and most unique on the workshop flavour-wise.

@TheVortex Yep thx notice my name for credit :)
@EbonyBetty Hello :P
GrimRose0w0 Dec 27, 2020 @ 3:08am 
Wish we had more mods like this guy.

pt-br Translation plz
[TheVortex] millman Dec 5, 2020 @ 9:48pm 
@EbonyBetty It's not my translation, all credit goes to Planty.
But I'm currently working on the mambo translation, I hope to get it done next week, with the harlot or arsonist too.
Once again congratulations for all your awesome works.

Steel Driver now has a French localization, thank you TheVortex for translating!
Also, thank you so much for all the lovely comments, they made my day!
imfrank Nov 27, 2020 @ 10:53pm 
can you make a version with eyes?
blackscribe Oct 27, 2020 @ 4:13am 
I can't tell you how cool it is to see the black folk hero John Henry make an appearance in a videogame. You know your history and that's for real. Loving this.
Tempest Oct 23, 2020 @ 1:43pm 
This guy looks super interesting, but if you could answer me this, is it something in his abilities/buffs that requires CoM? I really want to use him since I enjoyed Mambo so much, but im not interested in CoM at all.
Hiraeth Sep 25, 2020 @ 2:01am 
Your stuff is awesome Vivian! Thank you for your hard work!
dmikewilcox Sep 3, 2020 @ 12:15am 
I am a big fan of tall tales, and Americana. I love the story of John Henry, including the apparently shorter man who inspired the giant. Thank you for making this class, because his really works for me, since I like steam punk type classes.
EbonyBetty  [author] Aug 25, 2020 @ 11:24pm 
I apologize, I've been very busy working on more Darkest Dungeon mods and neglected poor Steel Driver. I've done some minor bug fixes for him such as blue codes lines showing for his name and in certain act-out barks. Just a reminder to all: Butcher Circus is usually not compatible with DD mods so it's recommended that if you're doing a modded playthrough to have that DLC turned off.

@Mumm-Ra: pt-br is Portuguese-Brazil, yes? Steel Driver currently doesn't have a translated localization for that, but, if you or someone you know is willing to translate, please look to "Steel Driver Language Localization for Translators" in Discussions.

Since Steel Driver's released I've been the co-creator of another hero mod: The Arsonist released in June please check him out if you haven't already! I'm also working on a Quest/Enemy mod The Carnivorous Carnival which is based on 1800s traveling vaudeville circuses (this was in development before Butcher Circus was announced)

It's one of the biggest mods I've ever done & also the most expensive, so I created a Patreon. [t.co] The Carnivorous Carnival will be free when it's released but any bit that you can afford will help speed up its long development. I post updates for my patrons 2x a month.

But regardless, I appreciate every single one of you who has commented & downloaded my work! You guys make the frustrating hours of coding/bug-testing worth it!
Mumm-Ra Aug 11, 2020 @ 4:24pm 
Several blue codes in pt-br language.
Goldminermac Jul 28, 2020 @ 8:09pm 
What an absolute chad.

Also, I love the idea of a Color of Madness based class.
IceMaverick Jul 10, 2020 @ 3:14pm 
Hey Betty, just want to submit a report (that may be a busted install on my side, or not) that the Driver is missing a bark string for Possessed and being Moved Back.

"And when did YOU start clearin' dungeons?"
"Today!"
Icaro Jul 1, 2020 @ 6:49pm 
his name and abilities come to me in code mode I don't know why:steamfacepalm:
Kosher Pork ✞ Jesus Saves ✞ Jun 23, 2020 @ 12:13pm 
Recognized this guy as John Henry from the get go! Love that story.
Gray Jun 9, 2020 @ 9:30am 
The devs already stated that all mods will NOT work with BC
System Shock Jun 9, 2020 @ 6:44am 
does this mod work with butcher's circus?
IPS-N LANCASTER Jun 3, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
Very genuinely love this mod. Out of all the class mods I have (and I have a LOT) this is one of the few that feels very organic and not based around a gimmick. He feels exactly like a frontliner should. Keep it up! :wilbur:
Gray May 22, 2020 @ 8:34pm 
So my Steel Driver got Possessed at he keeps barking code instead of actual dialogue, is there a fix for this?
robokidmk31 May 14, 2020 @ 5:18pm 
Also will trinkets/abilities that reduce virtue chance effect him?
robokidmk31 May 14, 2020 @ 5:18pm 
Q: According to the description
"trinkets or abilities that increase virtue chance will NOT work on the Steel Driver".
Does that include or exclude quirks like Irrepressible?

My apologies if this has already been asked and thank you for this amazing mod (I am loving it so far)!
TurtleDuck May 14, 2020 @ 5:32am 
*sees the dlc requirement* ahh hell....guess i'll save money to get
Lord Leowulf May 12, 2020 @ 9:10pm 
John Henry inspired class? That's a fun concept! *downloads*
baddude1337 Apr 15, 2020 @ 12:49am 
A great tank class, and especially useful against the wandering crystal boss, as well as Granite Doomsday. The conductor ability especially is great against high protection bosses.
Planty Apr 12, 2020 @ 10:44pm 
First time I try help on a mod. Tell me if it's ok :D

Love this guy just like the Mambo. The art/animation power creep is out of control, watching a boring old highwayman next to this unit is just SAD now. Fantastic work Ebony and team!

I have a serious problem though, Steel Driver doesn't like me. Always hitting for minimum damage when I need him to bring the pain. His damage range can sometimes feel too variable, and thanks to the excellent art/anim I just expect him to swing for leper like turbo damage every time.

i cant get this to work. i have all the dlc. do i just put it on top for load orders?
Omicoatl.ttv Apr 10, 2020 @ 8:34pm 
Loving this mod - just like the Mambo. It's incredibly cool to see such awesome African American archetypes implemented into Darkest Dungeon - it'd be an understatement to say the vanilla cast was lacking diversity.

Small request - I didn't know how the TNT ability worked from tooltips alone, and had to refer to the Workshop page. Could you make it so that the tooltip shows that it clears corpses and requires a slot? I've seen some blue text in other class mods that allow more nuance, and I know from my own modding that adding a corpse clear tag should be fairly simple.

He was born with his hammer in his hand. John Henry, a true Hero of the South.
Lonely Poet Apr 7, 2020 @ 4:48am 
pls rework his COM trinket :)
OniBarubary Apr 7, 2020 @ 3:57am 
Man you are quickly becoming one of my favorite class mod creators.
Nope.avi Apr 5, 2020 @ 10:24am 
Question, is it intentional that the CC trinket for him is accesible via regular quests and not outside CC? I have one of his CC trinkets available as a warrens quest reward.
