How to use bombs?

[Jane_Denton]

I was hoping I saw a thread that asked this question but everyone seems to know how to place them.

So I can't figure out how to place them I just got a bomb that's red I can't place says hit the accessibility key that doesn't do anything so I checked the keybinding it's fine.

Apparently I'm dumb... I can't see any indication or explanation on how to use bombs apparently I'm supposed to just know.

I can't even find a YT video on how to place them. I'm at a rock thing you can blow up in the newer area behind the waterfall but when I try to craft the bomb it's just red and won't let me craft it.

Seems to be some confusion on what I'm asking. I can't even craft it so it's not in my inventory. I right click it in crafting menu it pins the recipe. I left click and it wants to place it on the ground but it's always red as if it's not able to be placed.

I can't figure out how to even craft it I'm not getting any notifiers popping up as to what I'm doing wrong in game. I tried the accessibility key (which was the only notifier in game I got) and tried clicking it inside of crafting menu and outside when trying to place it and nothing happens.

EDIT: To make this clearer... say if for example I was crafting a platform or room and there was an obstruction it would be red so I couldn't craft it or place it. That is what I'm seeing. That's what I mean I can't place or craft a bomb it's red.

the explosives must be crafted first in either the biolab or the autocrafter before they can be used, when the explosives are in your inventory you right-click to place them and then left-click the bomb to detonate.

How or when will the bomb unlock? I only have the explosive powder in my Biolab but I am at 5.95TTI and reached complete terraformation

The two people you've quoted are talking about two different things. The first one (Jane_Denton) is talking about the Large Explosion Device that unlocks at 5.05 TTi (plus a message from Sentinel Corp.) and is used for getting the endings. Once unlocked, you'll find it in your Crafting menu (same place you go to for building habitats and equipment) and it can only be placed in a very specific location.

The other one (Ferox_Stormdragon) is talking about the regular Explosive, which is used for clearing rock debris blockages in regards to procedural wrecks. It's unlocked in tier 9 of the Blueprint microchips.[planet-crafter.fandom.com] Once unlocked, that's the one that will show up in the Biolab.

Im asking about the regular explosives but according to the fandom then I already have all the tier 10 blueprint microchips so i guess my game is bugged. I found 5 chips but they all just gave me upgrades for the rover
