Explosive Jug

[Adalon]

Cleared the silver island. There is one extra explosive jug left, which is located near the bridge in the upper left part of the island (there is also an iron mine there). What is it for?

There is a shortcut with a tunnel you have to create to the SE of Silver Island (with 3 white jackals, wide leafs, chickens, condor and massive stone mine). When you enter this area from the south end (land with your ship on the rocks there) and walk over the bridge, you see an outline of a classic mine entrance to the left of this area on the map. That is where you have to place this jug.

The NE jug is to create a path,tunnel to the area with the ruins. There is a jug on each side, you only need one. There will be one left over there.

I am planing to carry that extra one to my base as decoration :D

[CrazyMom]

Unless the devs are planing on a niche near the boss to place this jug LOL

[CrankyOldGamer]

Yup it's an extra one. In my game it's still sitting there. But I agree that it was confusing for a long time as it being there made me think it was supposed to be used for something.

Why on both sides, if you can only get to the northwestern part of the island (where there is iron and then silver) through ruins? This is what is confusing.

The point is to create a shortcut so you don't have to go through the ruins.

(tip: typing "explosive" into the Search Discussions box and hitting Enter would have taken you to the existing thread with this info).

So the 3rd explosive is not an extra, as written above?

[Cougarific]

All 3 jugs are used to create shortcuts allowing you to move more easily around the island.

The reason one passageway has a jug on either side is because both sides are about the same distance from the passageway leading to the silver mine. You can use one jug to open the passageway near the ruins and the other jug for the silver mine.

Which direction you approach from - and which jug you use for each passageway - is up to you.

And aren't there 4 jugs?

That's it, I found this place. Thank you!
But this passage is needed by those who built a base (or at least just a pier) in the northern lagoon of the island. Those who built in the southern lagoon will quickly get to the silver mine through the restored bridge.

The NE ruins is the location of the boss.
I built on the northern part and still use the fixed bridge. As for the silver access initially, I just climbed over the rocks to access it and had parked the cart at the path on the other side (jumped down where skeleton is). Not hard at all without the quick access or the fixed bridge.

Where is the 3. keg? I found the two at each side of the brige in the north by the ruines area, but where is the last keg to be found? (the keg it self, I already know the location to place it)

[CrazyMom]

South East bridge to main island (area with massive stone mine).

I think the fourth jug is for the entrance to the boss fight area (which wasn't in the original update so I ignored it - I ignore the boss fights anyway because the rewards aren't worth the hassle and don't fit with the survival aspect (which is the game's greatest strength IMHO).
