[@chainz186]

@@0x777 i dont have the game myself, but based on what i see in the video, it currently seems there is no specific way in digging caves, only thing i came up with was, to blow up a tnt, and shortly after blow one up next to it, it would maybe blow away the loose dirt from the first explosion. In a sense of cave digging, if my method works you would have to put a tnt into the loose dirt pile immediately afterwards and blow it up to remove it

[@divine_2768]

When packed earth or rock is aerated, it's volume is multiplied. Andrew Camarata has good, short video called, "Blasting a pond" which shows this in the real world. In the game, the "extra" dirt becomes blasted rock etc and doesn't multiply ore.

[@cmilkau]

TNT turns solid rock and compressed dirt into lose dirt, hence the volume increases, however it's easier to pick up.

[@Robert-ew7qk]

Not trying to be a smart ass but the dirt will lose compaction and then when you try and put it back it over fills hole so it isn't more ore it is just now without compaction.

btw when u take up mass from the ground it expands sort of like the ground is compressed so filling it back up takes less but sinks when u start compressing it back down. Or you can leave it and let it compress itself naturaly only it takes years for that to happend.

[@godambity]

Yes drae this is why I love your channel another mining game to sink your teeth into

[@diogenespalvarenga]

when you blow up a slope, or excavate, the air mixes with the earth increasing the volume

[@zorthomis6497]

much like in real mining. place them in a pattern, some sticks are designed to carve chunks, some are there to further explode those chunks, some are there to disperse those chunks from the blast site.

[@nec4480]

Don't know if it'll make any difference in the game, but tyically when using a front end loader, you put it in low gear or turtle mode when working soil. Lower gear at higher rpms makes better power for digging.

[@AGH69]

Yep, but doesn't work that way in this game yet unfortunately

RDX shiuld be stronger than TNT in theory ^^ Bit of history: RDX was developed in Germany during World War 2 to replace TNT as getting the ressources to produce that became unaccessable

[@OMG2020]

I got an excavator as well and a dump truck and most of the dump trucks do not have a back gate so dirt falls out when you drive forward. That littler one does have the back gate and would probably be the least frustrating one to work with.

[@Tj345-z6p]

Great video Drae! Would love to see more!

[@jeffreyyoung8176]

i think the tnt is to break the rock up that then can be easily taken out with a loader. Actually i just bought it so ill do some testing as well.

[@spencew.g.]

I am so interested in this game and where it will go. And it's even better when Drae plays it. Always amazing content from Drae!

[@MmeHyraelle]

I think explosives are meant to soften up hard rock so you can then excavate it.

[@itsnetts]

Correct! The game has bedrock deeper down that you either have to use a ripper on or explode it in order to dig it out.

[@alexdaman.]

Are some trees randomly just giving up on life? FYI Drae, the big hook on back end of your dozer is actually your ground ripper. But I do love that you do how you want.

[@Talon-6]

Bro this is and so hard and fun to watch. As a heavy Equipment operator that specializes in excavation. Watch you run this Equipment is so hard to do as for the loader you would never drive it with your bucket full or empty the high in the air you would roll it. As for dozers you have to cut the ground a little at a time taking multiple passes taking a couple inches at a time cause over multiple feet a couple inches piles up in front of your blade. The tnt piles up after blowing the ground cause in real life that's what happens what you blow is still there in my line of work we drill then place the tent in the ground then cover with blast mats witch we then pile a bunch of dirt on top of before we blow the tnt to make the material much easier to deal with

[@garysprandel1817]

Drae RDX is a plastic explosive like C4 and in theory a bit more kick for the amount used with TNT similar. Going to assume Dynamax is most likely a low explosive like anfo for moving a lot of looser material quickly like that hillside you were playing with. Cave mining or tunnel mining you were looking to do is referred to as hard rock mining so more than likely if the game allows for that you probably need to look for a solid rock area to prospect.

[@PerplexdPumpkin]

Small tip you can change tires on the loaders (and most vehicles same for colours/add lights ect.) makes a small difference in traction from what i felt, also the loaders with no teeth seem to work a bit better for picking up stuff

[@PanzerKitsune-]

Just wait till drae realizes on the developer/beta version they have Hadden a new thing called Draemite. It a crazy new item similar to dynamite except it removes the ground entirely!

[@hollywoodredneck8565]

I think all the blasting causes those dirt mounds to show that it's easier to pick up with the loaders or excavators after. But I don't know. If I was you for making it all smoother to drive thru and not get stuck I'd use blasting for that or atleast try it. And maybe it will work out better than the crazy holes you've dug out lol, I'm liking the videos tho keep it up

Perhaps you could place 2 pieces of dynamite in the same spot, and detonate them one after another so the first one turns the terrain into rocks, and the second one sends the rocks flying out so they don't fill the hole again

It is very light in this game and will frustrate most people until it's fixed. Same with the dirt balls bouncing out of the buckets and trucks and causing uneven ground everywhere. You'll spend as much time manually clicking to flatten and trying to build roads as you will driving or mining ore, which has since been nerfed heavily and a waste of time currently.

Here's my suggestion for what you're trying to do just have an excavator and a dump truck so that way then you can just have the excavator at the dig site while you take the dump truck back in order to drop off the load and so that way you don't have to reposition yourself every single time as for buckets cuz as you could probably notice in your video that bucket had very little depth given its size as well so the only thing I can really suggest large excavator a large dump truck and even bigger bucket with teeth cuz if you can try to do a combo along them lines I would imagine you should be set because some of my also notice is that the ones of trash had much more stability all the one without didn't also it the one that would you use with the trailer I did notice that it looked like it could have a plow attachment because that one excavator you got is more of a multitool of the excavator class so not that good

4:00 To take the fun out of that, a nipple in technical terms is an end that is typically screwed onto.

Much like male and female connectors in all sorts of applications.
