I mean on FS I never take them because they make the game even easier, just waste my own starting money and get even worse equipment, it’s way funner to grind from the absolute bottom up
Im almost positive that the reason the explosives makes "more" dirt is because it is meant to be loose dirt which takes up more space but is easier to dig
I'm pretty sure that's not how digging with explosive works, no matter what mental gymnastics are you using. Its more of a "its not a bug but a feature" thing.
@@chainz186 I don't know how the physics of the game work just yet, only bought it yesterday. Maybe the shockwave would travel a bit further away and blow the whole stuff out the side?
@@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

Seeing the 18k you got from the small lithium load, I think it's safe to say that the white stuff near your base is lithium or close to lithium in price.
I'd start a new game with what you know now. Get a loan Get a real dump truck Get a real excavator Stick to coal close to home until your loan is gone and then branch out to bigger better ore vains. Just some friendly advice. Keep up the grind Bro. I'm definitely looking forward to you getting better at this 👍👍
Just found out that the guys who made this came from the Farming Simulator modding community. They primarily worked with logging equipment, but also made mining stuff too. Their known for their interchangeability within their mods, and that defenitly shows ingame. Just doesn't look as good as FS19's graphics.
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.
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.
"I have 20 sticks of dynamite somewhere on my body, don't ask where" **mortar thoomp and Bloons pop sounds** "This is a massive vein..." **nearby tree falls over snickering immaturely**
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@thefall3ngamer925 oh man that stinks, I had no idea as I don’t own or have rented that piece of equipment. Hopefully it gets some love in the future.
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
@@Vyeahah Funny how closely related they are since common sense is common sense, no matter where applied. Common sense should tell you that, but some people lack that obviously. Lol
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
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.
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
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.
When you destroy an item, it usually goes back to your inventory. Just destroy the items slowly and they get returned. So essentially you can move them
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
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
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
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.
I picked this up after your first episode. Having some fun with it, but definitely frustrating at times. Dev is making improvements, hopefully continues as it's definitely rough and not quite worth a buy just yet, but maybe soon.
Yes, definitely waiting for the building system to be a little more explained, as right now I'm just clearing massive cuts until the game crashes due to my RAM
@@jeffwheeler4693 The dev mentioned the dirt balls are CPU intensive and is hoping to find a fix, so fingers crossed it will be soon. My PC is pretty beefy and I need to take it easy with the dozer when it starts to lag or will receive the fatal error crash. @Netts Yeah playing with heavy machinery is fun, if the machinery is actually heavy. 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.
@@jeffwheeler4693 Usually it's pretty good once the dirt balls settle, but does lag sometimes if I've moved a lot of dirt that session, so I'll save and quit to desktop if it continues. I turned some settings down too.. vsync off, medium graphics/distance and low shadows.
Fun fact when my son was a baby he was crying alot one night. I put him in my arms and put draegast on the TV and he stopped crying and was smiling the whole time we watched :D (we bing watched 3 hours of drae that night)
*Dump truck just out of range at 300k* Drae: “Fuck it, we sell everything and take out 2 loans to buy a 600k excavator that the trailer can hook up to!”
could you just mine some expensive ore, dump it on the floor near the bin to sell it, blow up the dropped ore to create a huge pile then just use the excavator to mine the pile you just made and instantly dump it in the sell bin without moving :P
@drae I'd ont know if you still continue but you can afaik press the p button to fix the load, then you can do a 360 and the ore will stay in. you should verify the controls for look for the right feature
This is painful detached the trailer put it next to the hole you're making and plop it in attach it afterwards make sure the trailer is pointing up hill when you detach it that way you can just backup
Drae is the exact reason why I don't get loans in games lol
He's providing real life lessons on why you should be careful of loans 😆
I'm getting flashbacks to turmoil, not that I can say too much I take out mad loans in turmoil as well.
I mean on FS I never take them because they make the game even easier, just waste my own starting money and get even worse equipment, it’s way funner to grind from the absolute bottom up

@@gmlviper explosives dont make dirt dissapear
@@youlaughyouphill842 Yeah they do. They surely don't multiply it making more of it. So, 2020 account, go to school.

Parents: "What could you possibly learn watching a Drea video?"
Child: "Always grease your nipples."
I laughed so hard over this. I'm so telling some teachers this.
Wait till ya'll find out the points used to push grease into the joints on heavy equipment are actually called the grease nipples!
And always apply for as many loans as you can :D
since the drill makes holes in the ground, why dont we just use the drill to make a cave entrance instead of the TNT?
Or drill a hole, drop the TNT down that hole and BOOM.
Sounds like non believer talk to me

Idk Drae, I'm kinda feeling pretty freaky today 😬
Love this series, more more more lad
TNT turns solid rock and compressed dirt into lose dirt, hence the volume increases, however it's easier to pick up.
those two trees at 4:42 just said ight ima head out.
when you blow up a slope, or excavate, the air mixes with the earth increasing the volume
Yes drae this is why I love your channel another mining game to sink your teeth into
All this game is missing is a pickup truck for Drae to crash that gets flat tires.
👀
Seeing the 18k you got from the small lithium load, I think it's safe to say that the white stuff near your base is lithium or close to lithium in price.

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.

I think explosives are meant to soften up hard rock so you can then excavate it.
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.
An exposive that vaporizes the ground when detonated? Sounds fun! Added to the to do list!
I love how tree's just sink into the ground when youre walking around, lol

watching u cry wile trying to play this game brings me joy ... please play more XD
4.43 into the video, trees sink into oblivion lol.
You need to make a road to that location
Great play dude.
I actualy enjoy watching this game a lot!
drae now that youre figuring it out just restart and get your excavatior and trailer and start out smart then you'll be able to progress nicely :)

RDX irl has a faster explosion than tnt, used for cutting steel beams in destruction work
Watching this was probably more painful than childbirth.
It was funny and fun to watch - please continue now that I've subbed :)

that is also the most interesting dynamite ever. it's _constructive_ dynamite? lol wtf

Hey Drae what if you drill a hole and fill it with explosives? Maybe you can make a cave with that.
