A tip for how you don't have to deal with each hardstone brick being 10, you have to go to the logic place to buy a number pad you hook it into the hardstone brick maker and type any number into it that you'd want.

Can't remember the name of it, but that thing you put the shard bar in, you should move it farther along the pipes as it's literally useless where it is. It increases the pressure in the pipes after "this thing" to be equal to the pressure from the actual pump itself (with the same pressure drop off as you get farther from it), but where it is now it's just giving you one extra pipe before the pressure runs out. I don't know if I explained that well but it's also better to put "that thing" and/or the shut off valve closer to your setup so you don't have to go as far to shut it off.

i love how matt never thinks of installing the boosters close to the machines i mean, that is the point of the booster - to get back to the original pressure from the intake

Nothing more entertaining than watching an engineer using "questionable" automation techs for maximizing profit 😂😂

another way to do the Hardstone blocks is put them all in a bucket 👍 put all the resources in it, drop it in the chest to construct the shop, all the left over resources stay conveniently in the bucket for the next build 😉

"Little chody things" -Real Civil Engineer (1:08)

"I invested in alot off conveyors" (Magic wand in the background)😂

8:01 u need to put a logic keypad on the hardstone machine and set it to the weight u want!

A tip for more efficiency: put the lava pipe booster closer to the harvester and the drills

Day 61 of notifying people that the Discord server's Suggestions forum is a better place to suggest new games to Matt. (Just don't ping him!)

The thing I miss most about the old Hydroneer game, was the digger that actually discharged rocks. I had a whole strip mining operation set up with belts I could discharge onto that would take care of the final processing. Now all the machines to remove dirt/snow, outright destroy it completely. It has me left wondering what the point of the pits are even for now?

A really easy way to put all the hard stone blocks into the box for the shop is if you put them in a bucket and then they will be a lump of a ton of bricks and then put the bucket in the box for the shop. REAL CIVIL ENGINEER RULES

@14:38 I'm gaining a new appreciation for "Space Invaders".

Other hydroneer streamers: Hmm how can I make my build more effecient 🧠🧠 Matt: *chaos noises. somethings break in the background* never seen such stark difference between proper engineers and our architect matt. cant wait for more!

the editor🤣 always on point

You can use the rake to clear snow quicker

The meltdown when RCE ran out of lava for his truck was hilarious 😂😂😂

To automate water production, output drills on to conveyers and separate ice to go in the melter and let the rock go to harvester for mats. Kickstart the system by dropping ice in to the melter and it should go from there. You can also back your truck on to the buy pads and put materials directly in the truck before buying. Just make sure to buy before driving away 🙃

you can put all the hardstone blocks to a bucket along the other resourses and put it all in

I am loving watching this series!!!! Thank you so much for playing this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently invested about 4k into a conveyer belt system, and my god does it make everything run so much smoother! Roughly 10 hours deep and I'm honestly surprised how much Hydroneer has grabbed me, definitely a recommend especially since it seems to always be on sale

3:13 for everyone wondering, the name of the song used is "Russell Vista - We Could Have a Good Time (Instrumental Version)". I liked the song in the video, so I had to look it up

i love how rce is still playing hydroneer after all these years. ive been watching for so long and this is wonderful to keep watching this series!

I love the series so i appreciate even more that the grind is hard😉

The dinosaur skeleton looks a lot like the Guericke Unicorn, one of the worst reconstruction of a fossil in history. Based one different fossils, partly a woolly rhinoceros.

matt you should do a mega edit of bridge reviews

You can put the items into a bucket, as the items inside the bucket become no-collideable (things go through) so you can easily stack as many items as you want in the bucket. Then just drop the bucket into the box.

I must say I do like the added complexity of Volcalidus, even tho melting ice for water is abit weird since you have literal rivers of flowing water on the map and youre surrounded by water lol. I am a huge fan of the heavy machines and the stuff involved in setting them up. But i'm not as much a fan of the forge marks... feels like the dev tried to artificially lengthen the playtime with that, cus it took me some hours to get my first (and only) perfect one. Yes theyre entirely optional and I could have finished the game without them like 10 hours earlier, but you know how it is....

the booster thing does nothing when placed beside the pump piece, you have to put it closer to the machines to negate the long stretches of pipe which minues 2.5% all the shard booster does is return the pressure to the same pressure of the actual pump... so if you put it by your machines its like they are connected to the pump without 20 pipes in the way all taking off 2.5% each

Love your video's. Well done and looking forward to the next one

For the hand sorters, if you put a funnel directly next to the output. The material will clip thru it and go down into the crucible

Is it just me, or does his stress about how much grinding there is make this series all the better 😂

This is getting funnier😂

@realcivilengineer 7:54 you can Put a numberpad on the compressor and can Set it to a weight (sorry for my Bad /Broken english)

Use an up ramp conveyor to catch each the sorted chunks from each sorter, then you can have the up ramp drop it directly into the smelter.

I think you should...haha bet you get tired of those. Keep doing you, man! Thanks for the hours of fun! Your story is an inspiration as well

Hey…. @RCE. I haven’t played the DLC yet so I don’t know if there are wagons…. But you can stack stuff infinitely in wagons and bulk buy.

0:49 "think like an engineer" I wonder what the angle of repose for snow is

Rce please read the description for the shard chamber thing it might only be In the shop or when you hold it

Love your game series!

You and your videos finally made me get a pc and start playing timberborn and hydroneer thank you for the push I needed to make myself happy

Tip for shopping in this game. Cart disable colision of items, so you can first load it with items you need just with spaming E and then move cart to buying place to purchase all of it. Also you carts can be put on the back of you truck (which also disable cart's colision, so you don't lose space) and driven to your desired place. It's especially usefull with conveyor belts and pipes, but you save so much time even with smaller items.

13:18, Will he ever learn that it only restores the pressure to the same as the inlet?

I love this channel. It brings me so much joy 😊

The "You did sir" at 0:43 is just funny

use the one near the starting town as it has the closest proximity to all settlements and the path up to the forge.

3:15 That's One Night In Bangkok by Murray Head playing in the background

use a keypad on the hardstone block machine too change the brick value

TIP: You can change the colour of the dropdown circle in the settings so you dont miss the fueltank again!

lol I'm the same way. I put in a few hours into satisfactory. I got to the point where I needed to recreate a whole new system of early game stuff just to feed the later game stuff and I said to myself "what's the point?" and it stopped being fun for me. I think that's why I love watching others doing it in these videos because it means I wouldn't have to be the one doing it.

So if depth affects the size of the resources how far up can you put snow and machines? What would happen if you tried to build a mine in the sky on a hand made platform?

Best series EVER!

Hey RCE, we know u can build nice bridges in this game. Couldnt u possibly upgrade that 3.3 of a Bridge to a solid 10. :D keep up the good work 👍

when weighing stuff you dont have to drop the item on it you can still hold it you just need to hold it over the the scale just a tip

Sounded like 'One Night In Bangkok' by Murray Head during the bridge review. 😂

at this point I'm convinced matt is just trolling us with the pressure tank thing

Been waiting 6 days for this!

Matt: "I've spent so long in this DLC and I have nothing to show for it!" That tends to happen when you do everything in the slowest and least efficient way possible.

Hydroneer is one of those games that I love to watch but I just know I'd have a meltdown if I ever tried to play it lol. Everything looks so cool when it's put together but it seems so fiddly to get to that point.

i kinda wanna play it. but then i recoil in horror at the lack of an inventory system and having to lug around stuff like a madman

waited for 2 days for this vid

quick question, could you please keep us updated on the fossil count because it seems I am missing 4 even though I have thoroughly searched the whole map

Matt is an engineer and doesn't like plumbing, it makes sense when you're an engineer you just make some lines in a blueprint and there's your tubing, but to actually do it IRL (or a game) it takes some real work.

Ya know, thank ya for taking the time to make these videos

0:40 can we have more pop culture references like this?

I'm so glad you play this game. That way I don't have to. I already own it and have invested many many hours into it, but by watching you play it I get to skip all the horribly boring monotony through the wonders of editing. Your editor is a blessed man I'm sure.

One of my favorite series.

Im pretty sure you can put the bricks in a pan and thrown the pan into the chest

Fun fact for anyone who needs to "build" using the shovel: if you dig and then place the dirt or ice back down, it places twice as much as you dug up.

Hope Matt looks into how the machines work a bit so he stops burning those energy crystals and can compact the stone

Josh at Let's Game it Out has a wanted sign in the game. Do you have a wanted sign as well for running around in your underpants?

You can change the color of the dot where things actually drop so you're less likely to drop things in the wrong place

i know boot is a fancy way saying trunk for a vehicle but my problem is trucks dont have trunks they have beds

These “ethical” bridge reviews have me questioning the integrity of the bridge review process. Really shines a light on the shady business of the bridge review. I think as a community we should demand oversight. An unbiased person should review sign off on the reviews. They would need to be well versed in bridge design and construction…. Perhaps an architect

use the rake for mining and flatening ground

Has anyone done the kings quest lately as when I went to hand the lobster to muppet 4 he wanted a shark instead, I was wondering if they had changed the request or not.

if you put the bricks in a pan you can put the pan in the box and than get the building

Matt: I don't want the tokens! Future Matt: Oh! Those are what the tokens are for. I need all of the tokens!

Matt: *doesn’t appreciate playing the same game but with more steps* Me, having only played vanilla Factorio: better avoid Bob’s and Angel’s then

You can use a bucket to fit all the hard stone blocks

I feel bad for RCE, this game does look unspeakably infuriating to progress through. What a series though. Legendary stuff.

I so invested in this series now, keep it up

yes move digging site use explosives clean up xD

Matt you are da best you really are

can you put the hardstone bricks into the crucible and make heavyer ones?

That was a pretty good bridge

I think that the Devs are really creative inventing new Dinosaur Species! At first apppereance it looks actually like a dinosaur but if you examine it a bit further it doesn’t make any sense. It looks like a weird Cross of Triceratops, Brachiosaurus and T-Rex and Deinonychus. It has a head of a triceratops, but its bone shield is too small and also his mouth also doesn’t look like a triceratops. Normally a Triceratops has this really big spout (like parrots), which was being used for eating leaves. In contrast to that this creature has a mouth which looks rather like a brachiosaurus-mouth. The skeleton also doesn’t makes structurally any sense. Normally the vertebrae bones of his neck should be thinner as it gets closer to the head, because the bones don’t have to support anymore that much weight and also it makes it easier to turn his head around, watching for enemies and food. This thick neck wouldn’t give this species any kind of advantage in the nature, Therefore there wouldn’t be any fossil with that neck. In Addition his legs are perfectly even, which is also not structurally sound. The Animal also has too many limbs. A dinosaur normally would have either four legs or two legs and two arms. But this creature has freaking 4 legs and two arms! I’ve never seen that before! It looks really ugly but I like it! His feet’s are also not really fitting to the typical look of a Herbivore. He also has this claws with two thumbs like a Trex. This Claws can be used for killing potentiomal victims! All in all there are also many questionable things about this Dinosaur which makes it look more ugly. On the other hand this unique design maybe makes it a bit funnier/more entertaining than a real dinosaur fossil. All in All the devs are really creative at designing new dinosaur fossils! If you go even further, you could interpret it as a reminder of Jurassic world, because this dinosaur his a combination of several species. Also the Volcan-Island is really fitting to the Jurassic theme… All in all there is a lot of room for interpretation about this weird Dinosaur and we will probably not find the true answers behind this mysterious Fossil… AAAH! I’m being hunted by a four legged creature with arms! A Brachio-Tri-rex thingy!🏃 🦖

1. Cranberry sauce 2. Iris 3. Lucky Charms 4. Basketball

i commend you for suffering through the levels of tedium in hydroneer. I cant handle it anymore

Matt, you should do an Ethical Bridge Review of the Key West Bridge! ;) Would be kinda funny, although it's not, but you know.

Love this game

for the hardstone blocks you already made, you can put them in a bucket and drop them all at once to fit

Get in! Love your videos Matt!

Take the bucket that u put the minerals and shove the hardstone and all the other materials there

Try putting the bricks back in the machine to see if you can make A larger number =)

Looks like RCE hasn't learnt to check the gas tank before setting off

You can click to change the weight you want the bricks to come out of the machine at. So for example you can put 500 weight and throw all the bricks back into the machine, and it won’t spit one out until it’s at the weight specified.

Use a funnel over the smelter pots

2:41 FISH

Trow the hard stone to the bucket and trow to the building crate
