Tier Dirt Explained Hydroneer 2.0

this is going to sound like a dumb question but on each level of each tier what goes first the drill or harvester so can i have 22 drills 1 on each level do i start at ground level or just above it

Awsume thnx for this one 👍👍

Hey, so Im a little bit confused. Does the dirt tier depend on where it was taken from or where it is now? For example, if I take some tier 3 dirt, but put it on the surface will it still be the tier 3 dirt or will it magically transform into tier 1 dirt?

What about solid rock layer? What is that? I put three drills down in hope mine and they just spark the ground with no resources.

Literalmente fui beta tester del juego bro, hace años que no lo jugaba, make more tutorials bro please you're the best!

earned my sub

Why is there tier 3 when you can't mine it? What are we supposed to do at that level?

how do i get on the boat?

What about the mine at icehelm? It seems quite weird, because if you follow the "dig deeper for better resources" saying, the most valuables should be underneath icehelm, since it is so deep underground, and it does count it as underground as cloutium can be extracted from there, but it seems to be only tier one.
Also I think at a certain point dirt is gonna have to be switched to stone, and I think having a visual difference between the tiers of dirt as clumps would be good as well.

How does the dirt tiers work on the icehelm plot?

Can teir 2drill mine teir 3 dirt

Yeah, hi, 2 questions. Question 1: do profits increase every level deeper? I did a build on the surface and a build 4 floors down and the chunks looked bigger. I assume they're more profitable. Does that apply to tier 2 and 3 as well? what is the gradient of profits? Question 2: Am I supposed to have near infinite gold by the time I get cloutium drills set up? I can't find a better way to target cloutium specifically and I don't really know what to do with all my millions of coins. Thanks bro. Great video!

I really like where they are going with this idea of tiered dirt, however I would LOVE if they made a few changes. I have been thinking about how to implement these ideas and even came up wit ha a chart for the different a values for everything, hell i might even try to make a mod for it. Here's my idea so far - i think the dirt should be consumable by the drills, the bedrock layers should not be consumable by the drills, rather breakable via tnt. The layers in between should be consumed below the drill by an area specified by a bounding box. Dirt would still be calculated at the level of which its being mined. So T1 bedrock, T2 bedrock, and T3 bedrock would have layers of dirt in-between that was able to be consumed by the drills. Bedrock layers would have a lower value of return since its not being eaten by the drills, lets say 30% less than the previous layer, but its not being eaten so, its a trade off. Each tier would have deeper and deeper sections of "mineable dirt" lets say 12 layers for tier 1, 15 layers for tier 2 and 20 layers for tier 3. This way as you go deeper you get better rewards, have to spend those better rewards on better gear to drill and process the deeper goods at better rates and so on. Bedrock drills would be a little different and would need to be repaired a little more often than standard, as well as the deeper you go the more of then the drills would need to ne maintained Just an idea I've been working on, I would LOVE to hear your feedback on it!!!

I wonder when we will have T3 drills / harvesters.

can you please explain if the deeper you put a tier 1 drill the better output?

so i there a way to get t3 soil?

Hi - thanks for your videos! They are my "tutorials" right now ;)

But I have a question left: before 2.0 it was, that the deeper you dig, the more resources you gain. Is that obsolete? Or do you get more, when you dig in the same tier a bit deeper? Is Tier 1 floor 1 as rewarding as Tier 1 floor 5?

Thanks for the explanation.
I haven't played i a while and was a bit confused about the tiered equipment.
Sadly there is nothing in the game that gives a hint at what its for.

if i get dirt from the bottom of t1 and bring it up to surface level does it still have the same quantity of resources

Thank you. Just bought South Hope even though I'm still at dig/wash but working on it.

Thanks for this Video. I've have'nt played for a very long time. I have 1 question can you still craft pipes?

It would be great to see a much harder, more rare metal, than the Cloutium. Also a harder gem, like Diamonds or something different than Onyx.

It does explain why they might of removed the Excavator vehicle too. They need to rework those to handle the different tiers I think too.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

so wait? if the tier 2 miner can only do 0-15 layer, how do i get teir 3 dirt?

Whatever they decide to do with this game, its all a bust until Multiplayer starts working like normal multiplayer.

how do i get tier 3 pickaxe ?

I just started playing this and I was wondering why should I dig deeper if all the materials you can get in the game is found in the surface?

Does the quality of the ore depend on the depth of the drill or the type of dirt placed around it? Like, could you place a tier 2 drill on the surface but cover the bottom with dirt from floor 12 and get floor 12 quality ore?

You may want to make an addendum that the depth of T1 may vary depending on the topography of the mine you are digging into. Using the T1 pick Axe is the fool proof way I have used to know when you are at the bottom of t1

Is there actually a difference between a Tier1 Harvester that is on level 1 and a Harvester that is on level 8 in the yield? Because the game just tells you the deeper you go the more resources you find, but it can just mean the tiers by that.

I love the way you analytically go through the game to explain it to peaople, good job! :D

Is the deeper dirt within each tier better? Or does it only matter if you change tier layers? For example do you get better loot from level 8 vs level 1? Or should you just stay on the surface till tier 2?

So is there any news on when we'll have a tier 3 miner? and btw, i can't seem to find the relics inside of the lands, did the devs change position for those?

thank you but this tier system is bullshit :/

Is there a way to mine T3 dirt? If not, why does it exist? Not sure I understand

THANK YOU. I was very confused about this. Dug down and thought I had hit bedrock, but after watching this video I only hit the bottom of tier one.

When you use a nuke and it leaves behind the cube of dirt, is that useable for anything? I haven't played with the nukes yet.

Wow these guides are really simple and fast-forward, I have a question. How about a icehelm underground mine? From what I seen it's not "dig deep" more like dig forward.

The "tier-reset-shoveful" mechanic is still working? i mean, when u shovel a deep dirt and dump in a diferent place.. in previus version of the game, that dirt will turn to surface-tier soil. Regards

Actually, based on my most recent try, Logic TNT will also break Tier 3 dirt, as well as the Rake. And throwable TNT doesn't even dent tier 2. So currently, I have no way to make a clean tier 2 floor with anything other than the common pickaxe. Really disappointed. This is going to take forever to clear.

Where is the water at that did site?

I've never played a game so stupidly confusing as Hydroneer. Why can't they just post this on their wiki.

the icehelm forge mine is the same, except turned 90° (so it's horizontal, instead of vertical)... and not only you can't dig a higher tier dirt with a lower tier pickaxe, the lower tier grinder won't, well, grind the higher tier dirt clumps, either (they'll just bounce)

I learned something new about the game, thank you! :D

Since I found your videos, my Hydroneering has taken a huuuge step forward. Your explanations are easy to follow and cover everything essential and everything that got me confused as a new player (no wonder my tier1 drill just uselessly bonked on the tier2 dirt XD). Thanks for putting in the effort! Keep up the excellent work! Cheers!

I know they rebuilt the game which is impressive, but they just put themselves back in early access status.

If you put the dirt from tier 3 or tier 2 under a cloutium drill that's on top with a shovel will it still mine tier 2 or 3?

You have been the biggest help since I've picked back up on 2.0. Thank you so much for all of this information that I've previously spent hours troubleshooting and trying to understand my self.

So basically, each tier is 8 blocks deep from the top edge of the unminable flat areas around each plot. I was able to stack 16 blocks from the top of tier 3 to the surface.

Might not be intended but the rake can also clear tier 3 dirt.
