if u zoom in the map more you can see there is actually multiple dots that u can drill for each plot. i think its like 16x u can drill on that plot. the most nuggets iv managed to get was 3 nuggets. tho this is more time consuming than just drilling once and going to the next plot. if a plot ended up giving me a large nugget i would drill those ones to cover all of the points to try to get more nuggets. if a plot didnt give me a nugget i skipped and went to the next one.
Maximum efficiency, imo, is drilling 9 holes per plot. Three up the right side, three up the middle and three up the left. The drill actually covers a small area around where it goes into the ground so if you equally space out the 9 holes you cover the entirety of the plot. Yes i have gotten multiple nuggets per plot, yes it works on the recent version of the game. Just a warning though, this method pretty much ruins the game. You will be able to afford anything you want and it is WAY faster and less tedious than the standard way of mining so i honestly think people would get the most out of it by using it to get a cash boost in the beginning of the game and then forgetting the drill exists so you still have to grind a bit for what you need....otherwise you will spend a few hours drilling and buy all the best stuff the game has to offer and then what is the point to keep playing?
ummm little late comment ive not heard it in video but did you mention that the gold nuggets are only found in leaderboard mode or did it change ive been outa the loop a while here cheers
Must have been patched, that sux. On ps4 after 40 holes, zero nugget, a big ZERO. and yes nugget are turn ON, i'm getting some while washing paydirt, but im going nowhere still missing like 300K+ to finish tier 3 wash plant
This only works on EASY and MEDIUM difficulty if the "find nuggets" setting is enabled. On HARD difficulty (I think in ranked mode too) this option for NUGGETS is disabled. I found this out myself, when I drilled over 30 holes in the ground, I even bought the Old Arnold Parcel, but the game got boring so I started all over again on Hard mode.
Normal, Cost $1 disabled, Unit metric, Temperature Celsius, Clock 24h, Time Scale X12, Gold Nuggets enabled, Prompts enabled, Digging Helper disabled, Mouse Digging enabled, Machine Failures enabled, Pressure System enabled, Easy Wash Plant Placing disabled. To shorten the length of the video but show all drills, video has been sped up to 300%. Thanks for watching
Look Im gonna be real. I've drilled my ENTIRE Old Arnold Parcel. In 3 different games. I have NEVER one time gotten a nugget. Not at all. So I think the most recent update they removed it I've been playing for about a month now it's late May 2023. So if ur still finding nuggets with the drilling machine please tell me. I'm on Xbox One
@@mattdoestech971 I have the gold nugget settings on. But I've never ever gotten one from the drill. They must not allow nuggets to pop up on the drill on console
this guy saved me lots of time i felt like i wasnent even making money with the wash plant

I never tried this. I usually set up tier two and rented the loader. I find tier two fun. 😊
Damn, still works like crazy. Least i got was 36g and most was 498. I got around 10kg in nuggets🤑
can you skip to T3 if you simply drill all the claim as you rent them and stop after ?
yes but u gotta replace the drill if you want to keep drilling past 13 kg (with good luck and drilling the squares multiple times)
Hey even later does it work if you redrill already drilled tiles or no?

Not sure about the settings on console, but I'm sure there's a setting you need to change.
@@MadAboutTutorials it doesn't have the same settings as pc
@@thereedmadisonshow9370 you have to have gold nuggets enabled
It doesn't work in normal on consol
Thanks, seems console must be different
Yeah use a macro with the drilling machine and you can make a ton of money afk but your going to ruin your gameplay
It dont work no more sad
Liar you have $1 ti start.
They fixed it
Fixed what? I've just drilled almost the whole claim and got over 620 ozs
