Operation of Detonation Box
- Fill the box with 100 medium stones (max) Will also not let you load less than 100 stones.
- Load volatile, low or high explosives. You can not combine different explosives. The option to load explosives will not appear on box unless you have explosives in your inventory.
- Once loaded you will get the option to "detonate medium stones with explosives"
- Upon attempting to detonate volatile explosives you will either be successful and have piles of gravel ranging in size appear on the ground (turns all 100 medium stones into gravel), or will get a box saying "there are not enough explosives in the detonation box to trigger an explosion".
- The number of gravel piles seems random.
- Each pile appears to have a random amount of gravel between 1 deben and 3 times the amount of volatile explosives used.
- For low explosives the gravel stays inside the box along with the remaining medium stones (it appears 1 medium stone is turned into gravel for each deben of low explosives).
- The amount of explosives to get the best yield is still being tested, along with damage area, and how far from the box the gravel appears.
- Please keep detonation boxes away from any buildings and bonfires. The damage radius seem to be less that 10 cords, but further testing needs to be done. Detonation boxes can not be picked back up into inventory after placed on the ground.
- It also seems that the more amount of explosives used, will make gravel appear further away from box.
