Modoc gold watch bug

So i plant the explosive in the sewers and climb up the well. But nothing happens after that. The sewers don't blow up and when I climb down the ladder again, I see that the explosive has just disappeared.

Sometimes I do get damage after the explosion but no other change is visible. The Town is not covered in filth and boulder is still not removed. What should I do??

Try getting the latest sfall.

That's a good advice man but I don't want to mod the game. I am playing on someone else's pc and don't want to mess anything up

But your game is already modded. Steam / GOG version of Fallout 2 comes shipped with sfall. It's just extremely outdated.

Ohh ok...actually I tried a few more times and the explosion worked.

Thanks for responding

My guess is you dropped the dynamite without setting a timer first, or you planted it by 'using' it from one of your weapon slots rather than setting the timer and 'dropping it' from the inventory, which i believe to be the correct sequence to blow the toilet to hell.
These old games sometimes have convoluted and incomprehensible mechanics for no reason, in this case you cannot clear the rocks by 'using' the dynamite from one of your weapon slots the same way you did to blow open the sealed door in the tutorial.
Very counterintuitive.

But 'using' the explosives on your weapon slot will make you drop the live explosives automatically once you've set the timer.
