When to buy Dynamite

Do not make Dynamite your first target. The fast-route footage buys it after the player already has the Pitchfork, Drone, large Bag and Vacuum foundation. That order gives you enough income to keep upgrading it without stalling the whole run.

How to use it

Charge/ready the stick, throw it into a dense section of hay, then go back to your main tool. Poor throws near thin edges hit less material; throws into the thick part of your tunnel create more value.

Lucky Blast

One full playthrough upgrades Dynamite until it gains a chance to make affected hay rainbow. That is useful because rainbow hay sells for more in the early economy. The exact chance is not clearly shown in current footage.

Dynamite + Vacuum

This is the late-run pairing:

• Vacuum for constant removal.
• Dynamite whenever its cooldown is ready.
• Use the cooldown/heat downtime to reposition rather than standing still.

That combination is more efficient than repeatedly switching back to starter tools.
