Using New Gold Mining Technology To Find Giant Gold Nuggets & New Rare Ore - Hydroneer Gameplay

well hello there everybody dre here and today is a super exciting day in hydro near because we have the largest update the game has seen yet 1.3 is here there is new technology to check out and i think by the end of today we're going to have some goliath drills on our system here that we're just going to build a whole separate system for goliath drills and hopefully we can get some of those giant nuggets now in this episode i will also be announcing the winner for the gold bar challenge that i had going on the last episode i'm going to be doing that at the end of this episode though because i ran into some issues uh if you want to know right about it right now i'll have a time slot where you can go check it out uh but i didn't want to put at the start of the uh video just because i want to get right into the fun stuff but yeah competition is going to be at the end feel free to check it out uh before that though let's get into high junior and check out what has changed in this wonderful game well the first thing i'm noticing is we have new small uh houses everywhere so before this was kind of just like hilly landscape there wasn't really much here it's nice to see that there's kind of points of interest now i think the developer said he added those because the roads were kind of confusing and yes i've been indeed lost on them quite a few times a whole new store as you can see we got a new vehicle store and i think we have an upgraded dump truck now um yeah this one's actually more expensive it looks like it comes in three different colors now which is nice and then this is the original now i think the only thing that has really changed is the back size is a little wider now so we can store more stuff in here we won't have explosive cargo like we did before um so yeah i might even pick up one of those right now i got some money here so let's do that the big question is what color i don't want any more green i've seen enough green i think i'm gonna go for what okay i lied i thought it was a lot bigger clearly um size is deceptive now i did do some research though to see what the difference is it's basically faster and it's got better braking and if you've ever driven this truck before you know the braking basically doesn't exist so um yeah i thought it'd be a bigger uh back end because i think he talked about making the um truck wider but i guess both of them have been updated to be wider so we don't have so many uh explosive issues uh so yeah this one's just faster and i guess we can test the breaking out i mean it's still those brakes could be better but i guess they're technically better than mark one and i got so much money so who cares anyways um we'll just park this over here and probably never use it again okay we have a new store this is the conveyor store so we have conveyor barriers now you can basically put these on the sides and um i mean i i guess it just blocks the sides just as a as a wall would uh but more importantly we have left and right conveyors now so we can churn our conveyors which is really nice to see also there's something called a centralizer conveyor belt oh yeah here it is used to move resources around a base pushes objects to the center of the belt um okay so yeah it makes them go oh okay is it can you actually see yeah it goes uh from wide to smaller so i've always had issues with the um with the conveyor having a bunch of a build up on either side looks like this basically fixes that issue and forces the resources to go into the center of the conveyor belt so definitely probably be installing some of those later on if not today but yeah those are some small upgrades uh let's move on here because there's something really exciting and i think it's gonna be at this store which is the old tool store first of all we have a new smelter before we had the um furnace crucible and casting mold this is basically all three items built into one which is fantastic we're gonna be buying some of those we have a new funnel as well it looks to be wider but most importantly is david now i love the name of this because if you don't know the goliath drills called goliath david and goliath get it these are obviously meant to be worked together so what this thing does is automatically build dirt on top of it you need to use shards to do this but basically if you put that underneath mr goliath here uh he will never have an issue stopping as i did before because when this thing hit air it would just break the goliath drill so now david should fix that issue and we should be able to have automated goliath drills which is really really exciting now there's one more major thing to this update uh there's still a bunch more stuff but i'm not gonna be able to showcase everything today and it's in the harbor over here now i don't think we'll get to this today i'll definitely be doing another episode on this but there is now a blueprint system and this is basically a whole store um this is really cool obviously there's not too much here yet i think this is just the start of the blueprint system but we got a new tool screwdriver which is used for the workbench obviously the workbench is brand new as well and that's how you use blueprints blueprints can be seen down here and basically what blueprints do is make more complex items so for example we need swords to build candles candles build teapots teapots can build um elbow pipes they can also build shields and then shields can build tea pipes and basically you can go up the tree here all the way up to building your own weapons which is the blunderbuss and then uh you can build a tool bag as well which is actually probably what i'll be mostly making because i use a lot of tool bags this could be an episode in in itself though so we'll get back to that later i just noticed that a giant shard in there can i steal that i could really use that shard uh but yeah i don't think we'll get into the blueprints today unless the goliath drill goes really well um but yeah you'll obviously see that on the channel in the very near future so yeah we'll get back to that later all right first things first let's see how this thing works because honestly i am extremely excited for this because if we can automate the ingot making process i don't know if this just pops out or what um obviously we can put a conveyor belt down here and then store our bars automatically i won't have to manually do all this so obviously i'm making lots of bars here so let's just test one out so we'll just take one of these giant oh god okay but if we drop one of these in here it it doesn't want to go in what the hell is it too big like why is it fl oh okay that was weird it kind of floats at the top there again this update isn't even out yet the developer wasn't that nice enough to give me this early so he might be doing some bug fixes but it kind of floats on top uh i just want to see how this works do i have to press a button or something oh i do oh i wish it automated that drop process and then if it drops down or if we could push it somehow obviously if we keep making bars it might even push it let's try that i'm not going to take any more out of that because it explodes we'll just use a little guy here one thing is it's much faster oh it shows how um deep it goes as well now too which is really cool but i have to unfortunately yeah click it i wonder if what if we could automate clicking somehow so hopefully in the future we'll just automatically tip when it's ready to melt i think that would be amazing for automation obviously right now it's not really doing that though so um yeah we'll have to see what happens in the future ah don't you love it when you realize your mic is muted halfway through a hygienic episode i know i sure as hell don't and you're probably wondering why the hell we're here now um so sorry for the aggressive jump cut but i don't think you guys want an episode of uh dre as a mime so yes unfortunately uh my mic somehow muted didn't notice until now but you really didn't miss much anyways aside from the fact that we're at a totally different mind now and you're probably very confused so allow me to explain so the way david works is not how i expected i thought we could simply put bedrock dirt underneath mr david here because he's got this little grinder thing and it would replicate bedrock dirt regardless of where he's placed no mr david replicates dirt regardless of if he even has dirt underneath him wherever he is placed so for example if we put him here he should there we go a little bit of a lag there but he should make a dirt meatball so he doesn't actually need dirt at all the thing that david needs is to be where you want the dirt to be extracted so if you want bedrock dirt obviously mr david has to be at bedrock it really wouldn't work with my sky mine it would just be so much plumbing and david doesn't work beside walls either trust me i tried hard so i would have to essentially redesign that whole mine and why do that when we have many other mines in this game and this is one of my favorite looking mines anyways so i have moved over here this is going to now be our goliath drill mine we might do some upgrades later but it should work as it's currently set up so i've only done a little bit so far i have put the new smelters in here so we should be able to just simply click these things out pops the bars don't need to worry about that anymore this was actually if you remember our goliath drill mine to begin with that's why we have random holes in the ground here the goliath drills really weren't working very well at the start so we turned this into a ram drill mine so yeah i'm just gonna slowly move all this stuff um it's just kind of disconnected right now as you can see we'll probably just move these ram drills over to the ram drill mine uh but yeah we'll worry about that later there's obviously a lot going on right now so i have dug the tunnel down to bedrock um and then right over here we have the two holes there's one there and one there obviously the goliaths are going to go directly on top of those holes and the davids are going to go right here i have also dug all the way over to the pond so now we just got to bring the piping down so we can um you know hydro the david's and it's going to be on its own separate system so we just turn these things on it makes dirt meatballs that float i did not expect that by the way i thought david just made meatballs on top of them but no they just fly into the freaking sky it's absolutely fantastic i love everything about david but yeah that's kind of where we're at i don't think you really missed much else uh so yeah we currently only have two holes we're gonna test it out here and yeah hopefully david and goliath will work well together i mean that's the whole point right and uh oh yeah i did one more thing if you remember this used to have an incline up here and then just drop down into a conveyor belt now we have the left-handed and right-handed conveyor belts so i've uh installed that put another grinder here and then i've also lowered the harvester here by one so the funnel is actually working again you guys probably don't even remember this mine but it was up one more and then the funnel didn't really work very well which is why we had so much block blockage issues on this mine so yeah hopefully this works well the funnel looks good everything looks good i don't like that the um cork is kind of popping out there hopefully we don't have any jams but we'll have to test it and find out i really haven't tested it much i mean i'm still working on installing the goliath right now so yeah back to work we go installing the piping for the davids and then hopefully this should be done and work perfectly but that never works in hydrogen air so we'll see what happens okay after a lot of work the pipe as you can see is almost done now i don't really know how i want to go about this the unfortunate part is the pipe goes to the right of the shard chamber so i want the shard chambers easy to reach um but there's no real easy way to do it i was really hoping the pipe would go into the back of it so i think i'm gonna have kind of this set up right now i know it's an absolute mess down here i've been uh dropping pipes down so we can finish this thing up but yeah that way the pipes go at the same area here and then we'll maybe put a t-pipe down this way and obviously when we expand this out to more goliath drills we should be able to easily regen the shard chambers and i don't think we're gonna waste too much pipe so yeah we should be able to finish this up now and finally test out this system so i think just to play it safe i'm actually going to open this up too uh that way we're not you know running the risk of the meatballs hitting the dirt on the sides or anything and i kind of like the idea of having this all open so i'm still gonna do some mining up there uh but yeah we're gonna open this all up so it's a giant hole in the ground essentially okay so there we go something like that for the time being so yeah we basically have opened this up as you can see this is fantastic i don't know why but i love the idea of like a giant quarry mine um so yeah all we got to do now is kind of test these things out um oh that's right i forgot to put an on and off thing here so we'll just take this out and then there we go something like that and now these things should get water so all we got to do now is test this out and make sure the meatballs go all the way up to the top again i'm assuming they should there we go now we wait and that would pop some meatball oh my god i love everything about this okay so we're just gonna turn off the water um set these things up and obviously we've got to install the glide drills and it should be good i mean it looks like they're aimed up i think this should be good and then obviously when we want to expand more we just turn this into a t-pipe bring this down it's pretty simple actually now you might be wondering why there's no filters on this system the the davids don't actually break down so we don't need filters the only thing we might need to do is boost the system we'll have to test out how quickly these meatballs go uh but yeah we should be making two meatballs at the same time now and they should be going directly up to the goliath drills which are gonna be installed now all right so i guess we'll turn on this system first i don't know if the goliath drills will break if there's no meatball underneath it immediately we'll find out real quick here but we're gonna turn that on everything should be working and then go down here and make our meatballs oh that one just popped out right away okay so that's perfect let's go see if this goliath this is so weird it's lit up that's a good sign so now we just gotta wait for it to grind that yeah you can actually see the meatball there um maybe we gotta get a meatball first oh nope there we go why is it not moving what the hell do i have to boost this system more well here comes another meatball and it's just gonna make the perfect little stack i'm very confused why this isn't moving though it should be so let's turn off everything before we get a blockage here well that's concerning the last thing i expected not to work is the conveyor belt that has worked all the time throughout this so we got full pressure through the system here let me just make sure my hat's a little bright um yeah that's full pressure what the hell [Music] oh my god it did it it fixed it okay so i have been troubleshooting with the developer for what feels like forever now and we have fine well they fixed it i'm the one who just told them about the issues i was having but i feel like i helped a little bit so that feels pretty good clearly i'm missing one of my things here so i have done so much troubleshooting thank god thank god that is over oh it's beautiful obviously we're still having some clumpages up top we're always gonna have these problems especially dealing with the inclines sometimes they just bump together um we'll clean it out every now and then the important part is this is the good stuff this is the really big dirt i really wish there was a way to get out of here easily let me just run back down but yeah this is those grade a golden meatballs so i wanted to make sure we were in the big stuff because as you can see there's some small ones coming out he actually changed the spawn rate of big nuggets so now uh it's much rarer to get these big guys oh that's not good okay so we're obviously gonna patch this a little bit we got dirt falling through i can't seem to get this stuff to move either also i don't know if you've noticed but that's a whole new ore so yeah we're officially mining bedrock dirt though i know it doesn't look like it it's just uh this stuff's much rarer i basically had this thing here and i was mining for a bit and some of the good stuff came out uh you just gotta wait a lot longer now to get some of the big ones now even the little guys though are supposed to be worth just as much it's just um he didn't want so many big nuggets going throughout systems which kind of makes sense because they block the systems a lot um so yeah he turned them into smaller ones but they're still worth a lot so yeah i have to work on this a little bit i know it's not the prettiest right now i've been just making sure that it's indeed working um i really don't know why those things aren't moving usually when i use the magnet that fixes them i don't know i guess they're shy doesn't matter we'll i'll deal with that later but yeah the system's working that's the important part let's go check out those beautiful drills as well doing their thing drilling down the dirt columns here as you can see interestingly enough this one's going a lot faster i'm not sure why but as long as we have enough of a column i don't really care and finally we're getting some bedrock dirt oh it feels so good let's actually just check i haven't had it on for too long but let's see what we're working with here so i'm gonna shut off the system and uh yeah this is i love this so much so we can just pop out whatever we want well that's alarming um we didn't have it on for very long but our shards rare now i hope they're not because i need a lot of shirts in my system uh i don't think this is gonna be worth much at all but just out of curiosity why do i have a a three dollar bar on here what the heck okay hopefully this is worth more than three dollars okay that's not bad one thousand two hundred ninety nine ninety five for it being on not very long at all is is really really good now this clodium does it have a sting on this now uh oh what are we gonna do about clodium there's probably gonna be some over here isn't there uh we have a few gold nuggets we have a little piece of clodium as well so i guess we can just pick it up it's it's got a one percent spawn chance by the way i do know that um so it's extremely rare i wonder how much it's worth let's um huh i don't have a i got rid of my melters damn it all right let's see how much cloudium's worth i walked all the way back to my other mine just because i have a melter here so bam bam this is just one nugget you gotta remember so i don't know if it's gonna really showcase how much this stuff's worth i'm just curious is it worth a lot no no it is not i mean 107 that's actually not awful for one little nugget now that i think about it so it is probably worth i wonder if it's worth more than gold we'll have to test that out later i don't have a nugget here to compare now we have to get back to dealing with all these freaking gold bars so the update has shrunk my gold bars down by quite a bit as you can see throughout the week i've been slowly putting them into cauldrons because well there was a lot of parts to deal with and um yeah this new update these used to be about four times the size and now they are much smaller i don't know if that means they're worthless or just like the nuggets that i was just talking about um if they're just smaller in general in the game now but yeah i'm not certain if this is the same amount of gold as i made you guess for now that's not the only issue that came into this competition i really should have thought before i asked you guys to comment because i got well over three thousand comments it's probably sitting at four or five thousand comments now and i use an application called tubebuddy to export comments into excel well what i didn't know is that tubebuddy has a limitation of a thousand comments so i cannot export the comments into excel to even search them for a winner what i'm basically saying is i screwed up i wasn't in the right state of mind after dealing with all those bars i didn't think it through thoroughly enough and um yeah guessing is really not going to work it out now you could say that i could simply check all the comments manually but to put a crap frosting on top of this crap cake youtube has updated its comment system and the comments are extremely buggy right now to the point where sometimes they do not show so to play it safe i'm simply going to run oh god why is it breaking now okay to play it safe i'm gonna simply give you guys more chances to win and i'm going to randomly draw names instead of being the closest uh unfortunately now it's just a random drawing i'm sorry i should have did my research before i decided to do a competition um and yeah i've learned from this one to not simply just do a competition so how this competition is gonna work now is we're going to randomly pick winners and you are going to email me it's going to dg events yt gmail.com you'll see it on the screen now and that's so i can just confirm you are indeed who you say you are because unfortunately youtube doesn't have a pm system anymore it would be much easier if i could simply pm you on this platform but no we're gonna have to do it the email way so if you win email me will quickly confirm your youtube account and then once you uh have confirmed your youtube account i will send you a steam key for hydro near sorry if this is a confusing and messy way to do it but i do have to confirm you are indeed who you say you are so yeah let the roles commence six winners email me and i will give you a copy of high engineer once we confirm all right so here we go first winner and it is jonas norweg mikkelsen i hope i said your name somewhat right i don't know if you're gonna be close but you are a winner anyways the next winner is troy destroyer nine games uh again did he say the same one as jonas i i i don't remember what jonah said but i was in the 300 so that was that was that's kind of surprising the next one is nabel obey you again i'm sorry if i'm saying your name's wrong once again in the 300ks um this is weird the next winner is varn yigadrill yigdrazil with an estimate of 14k okay but you still win anyways gabe house with 1.4 million you are the fifth winner congratulations and the final winner with a guess of 1.7 million is global genocide so there are your six winners guys now do not try and change your youtube nickname to these guys because i have saved their profile ids so i know exactly who is these people and yeah once we confirm you are indeed who you say you are by emailing me uh you will get your copy of high engineers so congratulations okay and here is all the bars cleaned we just got to combine these final few together so we should be able to stack these guys come on let me get the final one on there perfect um that's one easy way to grab bars by the way so once we melt that down we should know the end amount now i'm gonna show you guys roughly what the final amount will be but i'm not gonna show the actual amount because obviously i would feel awful if somebody was um really really close so yeah i'm gonna keep that a secret i'm sorry but you guys kind of see you'll you'll get a rough guess of what it's worth so there you have it it's within the 600 thousands if you are curious so not bad not bad at all and on that guys we're gonna wrap up another episode of hydroneer here i want to apologize once again for the messy competition but i hope you guys enjoyed it regardless and yeah i'm really excited about this update obviously we just set up a very basic goliath drill system today uh in the next episode we'll be probably working more on that system and moving over there a little bit more and i would like to check out the blueprints as well because those are quite interesting to say the least and i'd like to go more in depth on those as well so yeah i hope you guys enjoyed it regardless of the little messy competition and yeah as always guys thanks for watching and liking and i'll see you in the next one [Music] you
