Dynamite can sometimes be found on the backpacks of dead explorers or other wreckage.
Use[]
When placed, the Dynamite will do nothing, but hovering the cursor over it and pressing 
on PC, or X on console will play a series of beeps before the dynamite explodes. The explosion may be fatal to players within the explosion radius depending on circumstances (see Notes).
- Destroys any modules, platforms, trees, and other game objects the dynamite attaches to, with the exception of the Starting Shelter.
- Terrain in a small sphere around the explosion site will be destroyed instantly.
- Resources within the blast radius will be harvested.
- EXO Caches within the blast radius will be broken open.
- Putting Dynamite into a Shredder or a Smelting Furnace will cause it to explode, destroying the Shredder or Smelting Furnace.
- Dynamite, Hydrogen, Methane, Sulfur and Hydrazine can chain explosions to one another. These explosions get larger and larger as more explosives are added.
- When Hydrogen, Methane, Sulfur or Hydrazine explode with dynamite, the resulting explosion has a blue hue.
One main use of Dynamite is to reduce various wreckage objects into smaller Debris, which then can be collected and processed into tradeable Scrap using the Shredder modules. This is the only way to remove and process Detritus (Extra-Large Debris) into Scrap. Another use of it is to crack EXO Caches.
Notes[]
- Dynamite can be attached to objects without using attachment slots. This allows players to transport as much Dynamite as they need without sacrificing space for other items.
- Unlike real Dynamite there is no threat of premature detonation regardless of how much you throw it or drop it.
- At full health, it takes at least 2 Dynamite or other exploding items (such as some gases or Hydrazine) in range of a player to cause death, and explosives in the backpack count towards this. There is a situation where a single Dynamite can kill the player if in range of the explosion, it is when cracking open an EXO Cache.
