Survival tip of the day...

Don't confuse the blowtorch with the detonator.... i did and you end up with the opposite of build

don't forget to throw the explosive... walk away... walk some more... then detonate... don't switch those steps around.

I think my mistake was that i had an explosive in my inventory, then when i accidentally clicked the detonator, i blew up.

I also found that when i dropped the explosive, then walked a long distance away to detonate it, that it wouldn't explode, but any in my inventory would. What am i doing wrong?

I have NOT had any issues with explosives in my pack back. Only the ones I throw can be detonated.

Yeah it's weird, for one playing session each time i pressed the detonator i'd explode and the explosives count in my inventory would go down by one. Today it's all working as per normal.

FYI....you can also throw multiple charges and then for each left button press, an explosive will detonate (in the order you threw them out).

Thanks for this, i'm looking forward to being able to make them once chemistry bench comes out.

Although hard to do, the rover can flip over, and once tipped over upside down, good luck getting it tipped back upright (HINT: I have yet to figure out how to).

I've never done it but i'm wondering if pressing the R key while in the drivers seat fixes it?

Ya know, I never tried. Didn't even know that was an option

lol it's cool, there is so many tricks that i only found out from people on here too :)

But i normally use the R key when my rover gets caught on a rock, so it moves it little bit out to one side to fix it. Worth a try next time :)

So.....many....lost minutes and even hours trying to get my rover unstuck from a ledge or a rock....Thank you for pointing this out!

No worries, like you just said on another post, this game could really do with a user manual or game wiki etc. I'm sure it will at some point.
