Nuggetator?
Has anyone tried or used the Nuggetator yet? I can't find any info on it. Not even in posts.

I used it every chance I can. You can wash all the mats at one time. Plus with the hog pans mats, it can do 2 sets all at one time.

So it's for use with the hog pans then, right? I'll have to see what I can do with it.

its used for miners moss as well. i never tried using it for hog pan mats.. i usually leave 2 buckets at the bottom of my washplant and use a hose to fill 2 buckets. than just throw muy buckets in the truck with the rest.. i load up my 12 miners moss and use the nuggetator on them

Yep for cleaning both hog pan mats & miner moss mats. Each row will do two hog pan mats or one miner's moss mat. There are 6 rows.

Saves you ton's of time cleaning the mats (or mosses) manually - one per time in bucket. Plus, I believe it gives you a better output from those same mats.

There is a DigTube video about the Nuggetator. It is located under:
  • Supporting Systems
  • Gold

There is plenty of information about the nugg, it is for washing multiple mats at once.

The nuggetator can hold 10 hogpan mats or 6 miners moss (Tier3)
for a full load it needs around 30 seconds to wash it out.

I compared washing my whole T3 in Buckets (4 for the T-DJ Sluices and 2 for the Hogpans)

You need 3 runs on the nuggetator ( put mats in the slots , turn on , wait , turn off , take the mats and put it back ) but for a full T3 you only need one output-bucket which is seperated and waved way faster than each of the usual buckets you get from washing mats.

For the Buckets you know... - wash each mat in the bucket (used 1 bucket for 3 mats on T-DJ just for luxury - put the buckets on top of the jigs) the seperate and wave each bucket.

The time you need is almost the same for both ways. It sounds as if the buckets take longer. But the walking ways are shorter as you put the miners moss directly from the T-DJ to the bucket and back into the slot without moving. Also the buckets for the hogpans I placed directly next to them.
For the nuggetator - no matter where you place it - you always have to walk for each mat.

But in result - the nuggetator produces around 10% more gold and magnetite. Plus the fact that you need to use seperator and wavetable only once (which is important if you power them seperately like me.)

When you search the Steam forums for "Nuggetator", the ONLY result is this thread. All other results show "nugget" or "nuggets".

While in the game navigate to the DigTube. There is videos for most all items of equipment. They are rather short videos, but they do display how to set up & use the various items of equipment. I believe you use TAB to bring up the page where the DigTube, Journal, etc... are all located.

I made a shortcut on my computer for the DigTube folder. Then I can watch these videos without having to be in the game. The path is: E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gold Rush The Game\GoldRushTheGame_Data\StreamingAssets\DigTube. Note: that I have Gold Rush installed on drive E, whereas most commonly it is installed on drive C by default.

Broaden your search maybe? Not everyone calls it by it's name.

Also, in game there is "digtube" and there is an instructional video there that shows you just what you need to do to use it i am also sure that this video plays for you when you first go to use it as well.

What else should I call it, if not by it's name???

And yes, I found the Digitube reference after Merck told me exactly where to find it.

And since we're on the topic of the DigitTube, holy mother, is it ever a hot mess! You guys really need to update it so that the menu doesn't pop you to the top of the list whenever you pop open a new item branch. Several videos are also outdated and need to be updated to reflect the current version of the game, one example being hired workers. As of yesterday, they were sitll showing the old workers and abilities. There are several other discrepencies in videos as well. Gotta get somoene on that right meow!!

Otherwise lots of improvements, and I really like that vehicle repairs have finally been implemented. Not crazy about worker changes, but I'll accept it for the time being. Still a great and addicting game!

Yup, again, plenty of discussion about digtube being outdate. It's getting a big update on it's way soon,

my issue is.. digtube shows you how to use something... not why you should use it...
digtube doesnt tell me the advantage of a tool
