How to Dig PERFECT Ramps for Your Tunnels in Techtonica

[@relyengaming]

Let me know if you have other MOLE related questions or tips of your own, I'd love to hear them!

[@cvrkii]

Thanks for making this tutorial. Looking forward to next one!

[@relyengaming]

Cheers, working on the next one right now :)

@@relyengaming Splendid! Gotta put that bell to work then. Its strange how I didn't get notification for this one. I literally typed your name to go to your channel to search for your version of waterfall bus because I just saw it in one of the newer videos without them referencing you. anyway...then I noticed this video was uploaded 14 mins ago. Nice catch

[@relyengaming]

@@cvrkii Yea, I saw that video too :) Been a while since I did mine. Glad you caught my latest video though. Been a busy week. I've got several ideas to power through and get out :)

[@twhcommanchegamer5595]

Awesome tutorial! Can you show how you spiral the monorail?

[@waxhed2020]

Watched one of your previous videos where you showed the dig down method, that works perfectly, tried to mine up and yip, complete cluster fart, now after watching this video I can drill nice upwards holes, Thank you.

[@relyengaming]

Yea, I totally covered the going down part in one of my playthrough videos. Then I figured out how to go up and make those vaulted ceilings, figured the whole thing could use it's own video :) Glad you found it helpful!

[@succubuzz]

So many times i've thought to myself "ugh, i wish i could make these ramps smoother" and here you are! This video was a lot of help!

[@relyengaming]

I am here to serve your Factory OCD needs :)

This is an interaction comment for youtubes algorithm great video extremely clever I'll defiantly going to be using this Big help thank you!

[@relyengaming]

Much appreciated, I probably need to do a slightly updated one after the 0.1.1 patch though 😝

[@ericbruscoe5956]

Bro those ramps where some of the nicest builds I've seen so far. Never thought a simple hallway could look so good. You have inspired me. 🤩

[@relyengaming]

Much appreciated, certainly been a few changes to the game since I posted this. You can get way more creative now. The key is to have fun with it!

[@killerwizzard643]

Do more tutorials because you are good And thanks for this video now i know how to do it 👍🏻

[@relyengaming]

Thanks, will do!

[@deanlawson6880]

This is great! I would not have expected that was how you used the mole to get these perfect ramps. Very Nice!

[@Fredroc57]

I've only logged about 30 hours in the game from Steam and game pass pc combined so it'll be a while before I master this technique. My tunneling skills are not so good at the moment. I watched your tips video about tunneling downward and I still screwed it up. Practice makes perfect I guess. Is there a way to see protected areas while tunneling? Great videos, keep'em coming.

[@relyengaming]

Yea, I recommend saving it before starting a tunnel. That way if you do mess up while learning, you can just reload. But I'm sure after a few attempts you'll have it down just fine :) Edit: As for protected areas, they are mostly around water/facilities. You are "fairly" safe from them outside those areas.

[@holidayinn4293]

You don't need to do that pickaxe thing for a ramp down. You can also move the mole outline so that it's in the outline where nothing will get destroyed. Then move it one space in the back wall. Walk forward a bit and then drop the outline down. This does exactly the same thing you're doing but is much faster when you get the hang of it. I'd still recommend saving no matter how it's done if the ramp is that big a deal to the person. Mistakes happen.

[@xCriticalStrikex]

Clever :)

[@relyengaming]

Thanks Critical!

[@SwedDRPlastic]

Any Ideas on a overflow system?

[@relyengaming]

Yes! I am actually working on a tutorial for this at the moment :)

[@JuniorBuiild]

Bro what!! dig it out more and build up with stairs. And start using "power floor" as your base.

[@relyengaming]

I generally build power floors and stairs on top of the ramps. This is for the look :)

[@cdm96247]

OMG I just wasted 22 hours making stepped ramps. Thanks Reylen I am starting over.......😩

[@relyengaming]

LOL.... I feel bad for laughing at this, but I totally understand where you are coming from :) There is plenty of room to dig more ramps though :) Edit: That said, stepped ramps are still useful for transferring power. I was just demonstrating how it lines up with the stairs nicely in the video.
