I still have to unlock Dynamite even with an Explosives Factory?

[Puppy Cat Underfoot]

This seems like a potential bug. If I have an explosives factory, I feel I shouldn't need to unlock dynamite separately. That is unless I'm missing something about laying dynamite produced by the explosives factory.

Explosives aren't only used by exploding terrain it can also be used for underground mines, presumably thats why they split it up, to make mining cheaper.

It's been a while since I figured this out. The explosive mixture is made in the factory, which are then processed further into the cluster of dynamite with blasting caps and plunger.

Are you saying it's possible to get dynamite without an explosives factory?

No

Dynamite is build by builders as MadA said.

its the other way around. you can have dynamite that you store and use in your mine but no ability to blow up terrain. The dynamite commodity is created by the factory. The dynamite stick you unlock is the tech/know-how to blow up ground, eg to blow out under your batteries to get some more HP.

I think there should be One research to do both.
