MoreIndustry: Explosive
Open whole galleries in seconds. Make your blasting charges in five chemical machines, run the detonating cord back to the plunger, and fire.
Most tunnel mods give you one block that digs on its own. Here you do the blaster's job: you make the explosive, choose the charge, lay the firing line and set the delays. Then the charges go off one after another along the wall, and everything they cut through drops at the foot of the rock face.
💥 Blasting
- Stick a charge to the rock face and it digs into it. Set it on the floor and it fires straight ahead of you; look at your feet and it sinks a shaft, look up and it opens a raise.
- Run detonating cord from the charges to the plunger. The firing runs along it at 20 blocks a second.
- Put a delay unit between charges to fire them one by one. Click it to set ½ to 2 seconds.
- Click the plunger once to arm it, and again to fire.
- Charges never go off on their own. Flint and steel, fire and redstone do nothing. Only cord, the plunger, a neighbouring charge or an explosion can set one off.
| Charge | Cuts | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Gallery Charge | 3 × 3, 8 blocks deep | main tunnels |
| Mining TNT | 1 × 2, 24 blocks deep | a row of them = a whole strip mine at once |
Every block that is cut drops as an item, as if mined with a diamond pickaxe. Ores, stone and dirt pile up at the mouth of the gallery. Bedrock, obsidian, liquids and anything with an inventory are left alone.
⚗️ The chemistry
Five machines, connected with Workshop pipes and powered by Workshop cables. Each one has a moving part you can watch, and a panel that says what it is waiting for.
| Machine | Takes | Gives |
|---|---|---|
| Catalytic Reactor | methane + water, or naphtha | ammonia, or toluene |
| Nitric Acid Tower | ammonia + water | nitric acid |
| Nitrator | nitric acid + ammonia, or toluene | ammonium nitrate, or TNT flakes |
| ANFO Mixer | ammonium nitrate + diesel | bags of ANFO |
| Cartridge Press | ANFO or TNT + paper or string | charges, mining TNT, detonating cord |
Tip: every pipe that touches a machine draws from it. Give your TNT line its own acid tower, or the acid goes to whichever nitrator asks first.
