As you said using dynamite will create large holes and blow up anything in that area such as stone and resources.....hence the need to be careful with placing it.

I think the initial idea is that using dynamite will help those people who do not want to spend time digging tunnels...... the dynamite blows a hole and you might then see ore in the surrounding walls.

With using dynamite in singleplayer mode there are probably a number of uses..... there are probably many uses for those with imagination.

For example I spend my time in forests surrounded by dense trees and no mines..... I discovered that will small boulders if I used my pick axe on them I might find a cave hidden beneath. I have not tried dynamite yet but for my adventures in Rising World I would find a boulder with perhaps ore on it, extract the ore and then place dynamite and see what is below. Perhaps dig a hole 10 feet down and make sure you can get out quickly to create a much deeper hole from the explosion.

I think in my case I would use dynamite not in existing tunnels or caves but say for example in this forest I am currently in I would use dynamite in an area to create a quarry to find stone (in this area I do not see any stone in close proximity) or to create the beginning of a mine.

All over the map you see areas where there is a cave with the only access as a vertical drop...... only way to get in there is to dig down with a pick axe. Perhaps here you can place the dynamite at the top near the vertical drop to the cave system and blow away the stone providing an easier access to the cave system.

The following is just a wish list of what I hope to see in the future for Rising World allowing more use of dynamite
=============================================================================================

Hopefully down the track Rising World will introduce game play where for example you are in a desert and there are no lakes around you. When it rains the rain will fill in puddles where there are slight indentations in the ground. However with enough rain there could be a small water source created when the rain fills in a much bigger hole...example a few feet wide. Perhaps in the future you can create a dam in the area of your camp by using dynamite to blow up a big hole in the ground and wait for rain. The developer could eventually have the water level in the dam dropping every day when there is no rain and the water level increasing in the dam when there is rain. This could be a fun survival challenge if the weather system is developed further so sometimes you have a week worth of rain so you have flooding ...or you have a drought where there is no rain for weeks.

Morning sunrise greets me as I leave the mine with abundant steel and copper ore. Rising World is a beautiful game that is always surprising me with such incredible scenery.

Setup a new camp by a large lake........... not much chance of bears here and this will be a break from the constant threat of bear attack.

The aim of this camp area is to setup a farm to grow crops, trees and breed cows and pigs.

Where I am at the moment is standing on an island looking back at the mainland with a natural bridge linking to the island. The water is not deep where the rocks cross the water and I can walk across the shallow water without getting my ankles wet..... only a few centimeters of water in the stone bridge area.

The cabin and some crops will be built on the island with main crops and animals being across the other side of the water.

This is a picture of my camp setup in the middle of bear infested woods........

I hiked through the woods until I found a small dam which had a small outcrop of rock nearby only 10 feet by 10 feet.

Cut down a few trees and setup torches for night lighting and then used my pick axe on the small rock outcrop which you can see in the middle of the picture..... to find after my 2nd hit a huge cave below. You can see the orange glow of the cave below the rock outcrop.

Grabbed lots of stone digging down into the cave, found a lot of iron and coal and built the anvil, the small smelter and the scythe.

The seed I used for this is 010820171451 which puts you in a forest with plenty of food around

Moral to this story..... no need to spend hours looking for a cave next to a lake for your camp as I often dig into a very small outcrop of rock and find a cave system from there.

An area full of trees , food and cotton but no water and no stone or much needed ores.

So a trip heading inland heading away from the ocean and I stimble across a lake and a mine.
No ores evident but a large mine with many tunnels.

So while my main camp is in the trees I am setting up a secondary camp where I will have my smelter and workshop and do my mining.

The problem is without a map I will not find the way to and from the mine easily.

So a trail of 5 campfires have been left as beacons to guide the way.... spaced out so that the glow of the light can just be seen over the horizon as shown below.

5 beacons tells exactly how far away my workshop area will be from the cabin.

I did try going back to the base camp last night but as I approached the camp I heard a bear..... so I turned around and headed back to the last beacon I had passed whose light lit up enough of the area so I could see any bear coming my way.

Just to you can see what I picked up in a small area in the last 20 minutes

The area is full of useful items..... cotton.....hemp.....watermelons......at least a dozen tomato plants......
No bears as yet but we did get close to a fox which scampered off when it saw us.

But with so many trees around us it is only a matter of time before we meet a bear.

Venturing into this area I move slowly as the bears will be on you before you know it.
So knowing this is bear infested territory and that I have no weapons each step is taken with caution listening for bears in the area.

This is actually a nice area as there is plenty of food to be found as I move through the forest.

The picture shows 2 tomato plants ready for picking..... I have just picked a tomato plant seconds before taking this picture.

Though the last picture is a nice area I prefer to find a heavy forest area Daniel Boone style.

So with the sea always to my right I set out as the sun sets and travel through the night collecting food , coal and ore as I travel along the coast.

As morning arrives I reach a huge forest area which is where my camp will be based.
As usual with the areas I go.....bear country.

When starting a new game I like to use a select method to determine the seed I will play.... and to do this I use the current date and time.

You can use the date format you use but here in Australia I use ddmmyyyy format

The seed I have used this morning is 270720170414am which of course is 4:14am on 27th July 2017.

After about 5 minutes of wandering I found this scenery where I will setup camp.

How to play in extreme survival mode.

Want a challenge? Are you finding the game easy because you have all the food you need?
Well forget food.....lets look at water instead which is far more important to survive.

Before starting a new game go into settings, click on water and remove ponds.

Try playing with the only water available being from food you eat or if you happen across lakes or oceans.

I do not mind ponds but sometimes I find there are too many and by removing them completely you then get an extreme survival challenge to find water during the game.

When you do find water such as a lake you can then setup camp nearby....otherwise start growing crops quickly so you have food that gives you water.

If you find a cabin, you may find a map.....nice and easy way to find water you have already found in your travels.
Running low on water?

Just look at the map and look for a lake you have found.

But then that is too easy.

Tell you what....click on settings / dungeon before starting a new game and get rid of cabins.

Now not only will you have to survive without plenty of water around you will not have a map to find it at any time through the game.

Welcome to Rising World Extreme Survival Daniel Boone Style....

Made my way into another thick forest with plenty of food supplies and found a watering hole to setup my camp.
Only one problem..... there is a bear really close by.

With this game you are able to track the bear and work out what kind of danger you are in with it being in the area.

When I hear the bear I turn right until I can hear the bear on the left.
Then turn left until you can start hearing the bear slightly on the right.

Use this to creep closer keeping an eye out for any movement in the trees or bushes ahead of you. Directly going towards the sound of the bear should mean it will not attack from the sides.

Using this method you can then set your eyes on the bear and decide what you want to do.

Shortly after taking the prior picture I went the wrong way and ended up falling into a deep black crevice from which I did not survive.

Began a new map and using the seed RadioRealm2017 I began the map standing next to a tree in a cold environment....the tree just had one apple on it.

However there were plenty of potatoes lying around and I collected 32 potatoes before heading off into a much warmer biome.

Going down a steep vertical shaft looking for possible treasure at the other end. Hugging the walls and going down slowly is the only way and the only problem being not knowing if I will be able to get up the same way. I could very well die down here.

The picture below shows what looks like an average every day tunnel in the rocks.

However looks are deceiving and this is actually a vertical drop and one bad move I am going to have a long fall suffering in a very bad breakage of limbs and even death.

This cave system is immense with so many tunnels snaking through it that you have to take a chance exploring every part of it....even the vertical drops.

I got chased far away from camp by a wild pig and while escaping I picked up 2 bears which joined the chase.

When it comes to Daniel Boone not even 2 bears and a pig will stand a chance.

Spent the night gathering carrots, watermelons, pumpkins, potatoes, apples and cherries to take back to the camp. I had originally planned this to be a 2 day trip away from camp gathering food but I have cut some saplings for apple and cherry trees which I want to take back to camp for planting.

After finding the cherry and apple trees I waited for morning before picking them and removing the saplings...much easier to do in the light of day.

The saplings can be a little hard to find once they have been cut as shown in the picture below where a cherry sapling is hidden amongst the long grass.

So without a supply of food on me I left my campsite and headed into the woods as the sun disappeared over the hills.

The area I have chosen is ideal to setup a cabin however there is very little in the way of apples,cherries or potatoes to live on until I can start farming.

So I set off into the dark woods knowing full way that I cannot see any bears that may be in front of me but well aware that those bears can see me.

I head slowly through the woods and after a few minutes I hear a bear somewhere off to the right. Wanting to avoid an encounter with the bear I turn slightly left and move slowly forward listening to make sure the bear didnt come closer.

With darkness around moving through the trees is slow but necessary to avoid the bears.

Eventually the trees around me begin thinning and I emerge into a large clearing and make for the middle....using my binoculars to check for any wild animals. Only a few pigs so looks good.

I look down at my feet and see a wild carrot which I begin eating. Not too soon as my hunger levels were very high.

In this area I can see a fair way all around me so there is very little chance a bear will sneak up on me. However there could be other dangers.

I need to make the most of this and begin scouring the area looking for food to take back to the camp.

Whenever I play this game I always put myself in the middle of bear country..........
I setup camp near a water source and never stray far.

I can hear a bear nearby and it would be the end of me if I tried to make it deep into the woods shown below. However there is very little food in the area so I am having to venture into the woods to try and find some food.

Umm where is the guide, I can't click anything.

Meltrons guides are in the guides section in Steam.

I have not actually tried the large furnace yet but with the small furnace I have had no problem.

Put coal in as fuel.
Add ore to a quick key active item box at top of screen and activate that item by selecting it.
Move the mouse cursor across each pocket, each ore will fall into the pocket beneath the cursor in the trays.
Right click and the nugget is placed into the pocket.
Turn the furnace on.
6 minutes later the ores become ingots
Turn furnace off.
Remove the ingots.... I think that was by using F as you move cursor over each ingot.

Not sure why you are pressing E as I just use the right mouse button to add the ore to the trays.

After 6 minutes the ore will disappear from the furnace but the ingots will be there.
Place the mouse cursor over each pocket , press F and see what happens.
