I Shoplifted My Way to Another Million Dollars in Hydroneer

hey there it's josh welcome back to let's game it out we're playing hydroneer today my favorite game we were supposed to go panhandling for gold and minerals to make a whole bunch of money and in my case trying to get rich doing all the things the game doesn't want me to do let me catch up on what i've done before first we visited the shop and trashed it then we went over to the river and did some fishing and trashed it then realized we could sell all that fish for a bunch of money and then we actually did some panhandling and found some gold melted some stuff down and then we went to the big city where you can buy all kinds of other fun things and that's when we found a way to steal stuff like these really expensive thrones which you can steal put in your truck drive them over to this thing melt them down and then sell these crushed metal cubes for tons of money and that's how you end your playthrough with a money bin like your scrooge mcduck but that was last time we're starting fresh all over again there's been a lot of patches since the last time i played so we're gonna see if there's a new fun way to make our millions but just a quick primer here's how the game works you got a little bucket a big bucket and a brush oh and you've also got this shovel here's pretty much what you do take all this crap put it in a central area grab your shovel dig some dirt shove it in your bucket keep doing this till the bucket is full despite it being on its side take that bucket dump it in the bigger bucket head over to the river get you some water which is conveniently containing its water within the water in the bucket like that drop the water in the bucket grab your brush and do a little scrubby scrub ah fresh minerals looks like some iron in gold and do this over and over and scrub your problems away and before you know it we got all kinds of fun minerals which we can take and sell for money which is not this place by the way this is where we buy some tools and equipment we'll get to that later for now instead we're gonna head up this hill which is where the jeweler is also known as my personal pawn shop hello there unsupervised table i've brought some goods for you how much can i get for them 365 huh what a coincidence that's how many days in a year i don't want to spend making money the intended way now let's see what we can do with that coinage as mentioned before over here we can buy tools and equipment let's just leave this bucket outside for now and let's take a quick gander what our 350 or so coins will get us well based on the price of this grinding wheel i'm gonna go with more than a little and less than a lot not everything's that expensive though some things are cheap like these pans either way it certainly adds up 52 here for a fishing pole light post for 160. oh my goodness this mining helmet's 361 and this world map is 45 i'd rather just be lost forever thank you anyway the point being is we're gonna obviously need more money because if we take these things put it on the buying platform like let's say we wanted to buy all this stuff starts to add up fast doesn't it 1203. i don't have that kind of money in my magic bucket and i definitely don't want to mine for it in a game that's about mining this didn't work last time but maybe i can just walk off without paying nope it just disappears out of your hands let's just try this one more time a different direction okay still doesn't work the game does have like a nice way to help you place things though let's see what if i like bring it outside of the area and then just drop it okay it's technically out of bounds now does that mean you're free now i'm gonna go with no because i can't actually interact with it in any way now so can i get things outside the shop yes can i use them once they're out here no can i make a huge mess always so i guess just like before i'm gonna settle for that this is my medieval version of a yelp review one out of five stars wasn't allowed to steal so i trashed the place instead as an aside i think i found my favorite new asmr sound are you ready okay well i feel better now i didn't get something for free but i did make something worse than i found it and that's really half the battle if you think about it so believe it or not i actually have a plan to make money but before i show you that we need a backup plan in case it's too much work last time we made some money simply by fishing in the river and selling the fish later so let's struggle through this mess and find a fishing rod come with me okay let's take this thing out and do some fishing last time we did some fishing kind of around this area let's see if this holds true if we go down river so let's see huh wait for it wait for it oh yeah there we go oh there it goes back under the water fishy are you okay down there fishy huh no the fish is very much not okay well come with me fish let's see how much you sell for at the jeweler here have a fish so obviously eight coins isn't really a lot which is why we're gonna do just a little more fishing there we go that's more like it in fact i think we got all of them all the fish they're right here in these weird fish columns okay now that we've got the trust fund secured the fish trust fund the front let me show you how i'm gonna make actual money now you may notice everything is cleaned up that's because when you restart the game everything you didn't pay for disappears that is except one item this water pipe valve i don't know why but if you put one down return to the main menu load your game back up the pipe is still here and more than that now the game thinks i own it which i guess technically means i do and i can pick it up put it down and do anything i want with it and i really did try this on everything else in the shop but after a restart it really is the only thing that's still here so i guess that means i choose you pipe a chew for shoplifting it's a little complicated though i'm not sure how to do this efficiently because normally i would use this truck here because commonly i can just pick stuff up walk it right on over here to the back and just leave it in here and while normally this would work pretty well let me show you something that happens here let's put the truck in position like we were gonna do a good old-fashioned robbery ideally it'd be great to get this pipe into the back of that truck and do it without having to spawn it here and then restart the game to make it whole because if i don't restart the game and i try to walk it out of here it just disappears like normal and even though i could pick this thing up lock it to the boundary line and then use the placement tool to drop it somewhere out here i still can't pick it up or do anything with it until i restart the game what i would like to do is take one of these things and immediately put it on the back of the truck but if i do that without paying for it or restarting the moment it hits the truck bed it disappears and the reason we want it on the truck bed which i'll explain with one of these ones that's already been made whole is the jeweler won't buy him instead we have to take him somewhere else which i'll show you after a brief little jaunt which is if we run down this pathway over this amazing bridge and then just keep on running all the way to the town of bridgeport we have to use something here called the scrap yard i used this last time to make my millions so we're gonna do it again if i put something down on this little grating right here and then i head on over to this button i can incinerate it into a nice little cube and then i can take that cube and run that over to the local jeweler and sell each pipe for 11 whole coins so if we want to make a lot of money we're gonna need a lot of pipes there are a bunch of other stores here by the way stuff like housing or even more tools and equipment and other stuff like a bunch of conveyor belts and of course my favorite glorious furniture sadly i've tried this trick on every other store to see if it works but when you restart the game it all goes away it just means those inexpensive pipes are what we're stuck with but i think i've come across an item that's to make life easier on us which is this palette here drop items on top to lock to palette used for moving or purchasing multiple items easily now the problem is it's 450 coins luckily i think we know a bank that's willing to give us a loan a riverbank that is so let's see how can i whoa did you see that i just touched the magic bucket to the column of fish and now they're in my bucket oh my god this is amazing my bucket runneth over 6668 coins don't mind if i do okay this should be enough capital to get us started we're gonna buy a couple of these pallets just gonna put a couple on the buying plat you're fine let's start with just three okay and let's bring the pallets back over here and see if we can do something fun let's see we'll just put one right here just as a test let's see if we can put a bunch of these on if i pick this up do they stay on it great if i carry this over here and put it in the truck does it stay greater and then if i restart the game to make them corporeal are they there when i get back absolutely yes well let's load up these pallets and just see how many can stick to it well i stacked a couple on there let's see how this works well now that i've picked it up it's kind of hard to tell what's going on so let's put it down again and see how we did yep yeah flip on your side that's perfect you know seems pretty good i'm not really sure how those in the back are connected though but they are so i'm not gonna question it okay well with my really limited vision let's see if we can get this in the truck okay i think this might do it i honestly can't even tell if it's in the truck but hey let's get in and find out you know i can't quite put my finger on it but i feel like something might be a miss okay let's try that again and in you go okay there we go we just had to position it better let's load another palette okay let's see how are we gonna get this onto the back of there first we'll pick it up with our superhuman strength and use our exceptional vision to walk over to the truck bed wait can i just like lump this inside it okay i loaded the other one in and uh yeah everything's fine the game did not turn into a horror movie this is definitely not what my sleep paralysis demon looks like okay you know what maybe we just need to tame it a little bit all right let's just get in yeah see look we just have to tame it like a wild horse and then it'll calm down or it could throw me off and i don't really think it's coming down no i think we're just going to leave that guy up there it is still up there right yep it sure is just twitching away and i think we're maybe going to pick up a new vehicle let's see we could get another of the same truck or how about the newest model let's do that i don't even know what the difference is but who cares okay let's try this again what if i stack these ahead of time can i just mash one palette into another uh i do believe it did i believe both pallets are now one what about a third do we think we can shove this in and you go oh don't be that way come back oh i see did it have to return to its home planet well i don't think that's coming back okay be nice this time no more flying off into space okay see that's much better that's the kind of co-existing i want to see okay so i think i stacked as many pipes is gonna fit in this thing i have absolutely no idea how many things are shoved to this pallet in here it's enough that the frame rate is definitely suffering oh how it's suffering so let's slowly but surely make our way to the scrap yard and let's see how much our bounty is worth okay here goes nothing ah i burned the bad frame right away hello single magical cube let's take you to the local jeweler and see how much you're worth tell me something exciting a cool 3547 let's see to become a millionaire we only need about 280 more of these well better get started oh hey i didn't see you there me oh i'm just holding a cube i was gonna put it on my cube wall here let's see let's just find a place for it i don't know somewhere in the back i guess yeah just kind of shove it in there whatever and with that cube we did it i don't know how many trips that took or how many pipes are in there but who cares we're a millionaire again as you can imagine i had a lot of time to think while i did all that shoplifting and also staring up at our beautiful pipe god that has finally managed to calm down but thankfully is ever present at all times so i'm gonna start buying some stuff i'll sort of explain the process as i go so this little device got added to the game recently the compressor compresses uncut regular or compressed gems how many gems do you think i think there's only one way to find out let's see if there's any limit to how many gems we can compress of course that means we have to dig them up so let's buy some of these ram drills because we can use them on top level dirt opposed to these goliath drills which we have to dig down and do a little bit more work for do i look like someone who's ready to waste time so let's go ahead and just back up the truck throw all this crap into the back and we can't forget all kinds of pipes because everything in this game is powered by water and we're gonna make one last pit stop at this little store over here that has conveyor belts because who doesn't love those and now that we're all suited up let's head on over to the dig site also known as a big empty dirt lot which of course the game makes us pay for not like this price matters you insult me game be gone with the sign okay let's get started first thing that we're gonna need to do is establish a water source which is gonna be this little dock right over here for that we're gonna need our pipes which we're gonna put down nice and delicately first thing we do is take a pipe shove it right into the ground which endlessly pulls water and makes this horrible horrible noise and remember this lovely pipe that we kept stealing we're gonna use that to shut it up thank god and from there we're just gonna kind of build out the pipe system but before we get too involved in that looks like it's gonna start to get dark soon which reminds me i forgot to pick up a bed so let's run all the way back to town to buy one hello furniture shop one fancy bed please and now let's run this nice child bed all the way to the job site and i mean i could place it like right here or i could place it down here completely submerged in dirt and water ah restful sleep not being able to breathe my favorite i feel so rested so for starters we're just gonna keep on with our pipe system until we can get it all the way over to the dirt there we go looking good so now that we've run the water pipe let's get one of our drills okay let's see just like that perfect and the way this works is if we turn it on it digs up dirt for us now ideally what we want to do is get as much dirt as we can and we could process this by hand but obviously we'd want to automate this a little bit and we're going to split off the water so we can power this thing this is our harvester break small chunks of dirt into resources essentially the way it works is right on top here's like a grindy thing so if i just drop the rock on it out comes minerals and of the minerals that eventually pop out we eventually have things like this uncut emeralds so these are the kinds of things we're looking for who eventually shove into this thing to compress for all eternity but this is just a demonstration to show how it works i'm not gonna stand here and keep feeding this thing dirt over and over again that's where the conveyor belts come into play so let's move this thing for now we're not gonna need it and let's place a conveyor belt right here where the rocks are gonna come out let's add another one and another one and a couple of these leading up and another one leading across and this is where we'll put the harvester now in theory so dirk can go up here and fall in there in theory of course in truth you never know until you try so let's give this a shot and see if it works rock goes up ah that worked out great now what we really need is more rocks for this thing to pummel through this just isn't enough so let's go ahead and add some more ram drills one after another and another okay here we go let's see how this does with 10 of these well seems to be doing the trick everything's just dropping in one after the other i would say this is working out well oh you know what can we just take our magic doohickey here and just like put it right here oh yeah that's great i know it said it's only supposed to compress gems what do i care what goes in there [Music] uh-oh looks like we're getting a little full so let's go ahead and pull the lever and compress it down uh yeah wow that's a lot of sound for not a lot of change i can't honestly tell if it did anything what if i just keep pushing this thing over and over again that's generally how heavy machinery works right okay i think i broke the lever because it's not working anymore but oh hello what might you be composite emerald well seeing as how i have no idea what actually got compressed into here let's go see how much it sells for anyway let's see 60 60. get this garbage out of my face we can do better than that so i guess we're gonna have to optimize our process a little bit and to do that we're gonna pick up a fun other machine called a conveyor splitter splits off selected resources onto a new conveyor belt i like the way you think random piece of equipment okay let's see how we're going to integrate this tech into this cacophony i guess first we're going to need to move this out of the way ah well i'm not sure what to do about this but what the hell it's not hurting anyone we'll just force it to mine meld with this conveyor belt okay i think this is gonna work things are gonna spit out here they're gonna go into this machine oh let's set this to gem that could have been a faux pas and i believe what that means is the gems will pop out of the back here and everything else will come out of this chute into this hole i've made because who cares about those materials so uh i don't think the machine's working although looking at that conveyor belt i think this is the out shoot and not the in shoot okay so be it we'll turn this thing around backwards so that nobody's comfortable but it does appear to be working now i'm seeing normal minerals fall into my pit of despair and all the uncut gems are coming out of the back front thing okay hold on let's get this thing under the front okay and there we go rocks go in there minerals pop out there most of them go in here and the chosen few go in here now all we need to do is wait for this setup to run for a little while and we'll see what we get okay i've let this setup run for a little while really so far so good to my total shock everything is still working as intended our gem thingy is full of gems and i definitely misgauged how big i needed to make this hole so that's a big ol mess anyway it's time we tested this out so here we go ah well there you go three glorious giant gem things let's take these bad boys to town and see how they do don't forget to wish me good fortune sky car i have high hopes for this oh not bad 4 000 and the emerald is 41 and the ruby is the weak one of the litter but still a combined amount of 10 000 not too bad all that says to me is there's room to grow so hang on a second i'm gonna redo this thing see if we can get a little more production out of it [Music] okay so before we had these 10 and i feel like it was pretty effective so i'm very hopeful that 681 have good results too before i fire any of this stuff up let me give you the tour naturally everything starts over here pulling from the water and then the pipes run all the way here to this valve and then the water splits off to power the ram drills as well as these conveyor belts and rinse and repeat for a really long time once dirt pops out of these machines it'll go down this conveyor belt all the way to the end where it'll join up with a larger conveyor belt system where all the rocks will move from left to right up to these ramps at which time they'll go right over the edge into these waiting harvesters where the gems and minerals will be taken over here to this splitter and anything that's not a gem is going to get launched onto my new bed so i can sleep in wealth and the remaining gems will go back here and be dumped in this little compartment it couldn't be more simple except for the part where i haven't tested this so i have no idea what this is gonna do to the frame right i mean i've tested it with a few but not all 600 plus running at the same time so let's do this let's turn it on and see what happens oh my god first of all this is the worst noise ever and my ears are bleeding every time these things all pump in unison and on top of that i think the frame rate might be having a couple of issues but enough out of me how are the machines running well if the spotty sound coming in and out is any indicator things are working at peak efficiency that and in the distance you can see the rocks struggling to make their way over here okay let's go let's go see how the other side's doing if we can well look things might be going at like 0.0001 frames per second but at least the machine crapped minerals on my bed and i do believe that's a gem slowly eventually one day making its way to the promised land so i don't know how you couldn't call this a rousing success except for the part where the game is lagging so bad that i think i'm having an aneurysm just trying to slowly stumble my way back over to the valve i have the dumb idea that i can somehow salvage this without reloading quickly turn it off ah see that's much better let's go see what it looks like on the other side of this thing well i would say in the most technical sense this worked out really really well but in the practical sense i'm gonna say about 50 50. so let's see if we can't try something instead of turning the master valve back on i'm gonna close off this valve right here that once i tighten this thing it's only gonna power this line right here so hopefully that'll be a little bit more tolerable to the game okay and there go my eardrums okay this seems potentially a lot more pleasant maybe i like how i'm waiting for those little pieces to finally make their way over here just in the background i see like a couple of frames of some rocks just flying away so i'm gonna go ahead and say that this is still not effective let's go ahead and load back to before we tried any of that i got a new idea so i moved the valve from over here and bypassed all of this stuff instead so the only thing that gets water pressure is the very last one hoping this will be a little easier on the game and so far actually not that bad yeah this seems to be doing slightly better we certainly have a lot more minerals flowing than before that's for sure but most importantly my sleeping arrangements are perfect i'm not sure what i like more being constantly rained on by minerals or fits the absolutely deafening sound of all the collision happening but hey it looks like everything's technically working and what else could you ask for and the moment i said that the game delivered once again i decided to take a quick power nap despite the slowdown and you know what i learned when the game is running this poorly it just won't let you leave the bed like look you can just see the days passing by so i guess the game decided for us that this is where we're stopping so i hope you had fun i know i did i'll be here just waiting for my sleep paralysis demon to appear again and i'll see you next time
