Double Dynamite

Double Dynamite is an upgraded terrain destruction tool unlocked for 500 Science Points that removes two terrain blocks directly below its placement point in a single detonation. Requiring 2 Explosives to place (produced at the Explosives Factory), Double Dynamite is twice as efficient as standard Dynamite for deep excavation projects. Each charge blasts through two vertical layers of terrain, making it the preferred choice for medium-depth projects like reservoir basins, underground storage rooms, and canal construction on maps with thick terrain layers.

Like standard Dynamite, Double Dynamite triggers chain reactions with adjacent charges at the same height level, allowing you to clear wide swaths of terrain two layers deep in a single coordinated detonation. This chain reaction capability is particularly useful when carving out large reservoir basins or wide river channels that need to be multiple blocks deep. By placing a line of Double Dynamite across a planned excavation area, you can remove an entire 2-block-deep layer in one blast, dramatically speeding up major terraforming operations compared to using single Dynamite charges.

When choosing between Dynamite variants, Double Dynamite hits the sweet spot between cost and depth for most projects. Standard Dynamite (1 block, 1 Explosive) is more economical for shallow work, while Triple Dynamite (3 blocks, 3 Explosives) handles the deepest excavations. Double Dynamite at 2 Explosives per charge offers good value for the common 2-block depth requirement. Ensure your Explosives Factory has adequate production capacity before starting large-scale Double Dynamite operations, and consider using the Dirt Excavator for situations where you want both terrain removal and Dirt resource production from the same operation.
