I Became a Millionaire by Obliterating an Entire Island in Hydroneer

hey there it's Josh welcome back to

Let's game it out we're playing some

Hyer today because they released a DLC

called journey to

volcalist and hey developers thank you

for a key so I can be a nuisance in your

game yet again our wild Journey Begins

as it always does in front of the ever

amazing Ember cradle where usually the

first thing I like to do is run on over

here to our trusty tools and explain how

the game works but we're going to save

that till we get to the DLC so let's get

our trusty vehicle here excuse me didn't

mean to hit you excuse me excuse me what

I was going to say is we need to go find

the DLC but obviously first thing we

need to do is pulverize a random

bystander who seems more than happy for

me to just roll them over again and

again anyway enough of that guy let's go

find the DLC and if I were DLC where

would I be would I be up here in this

mountain area didn't they say something

about a volcano come on game where is

this DLC oh you know what I think maybe

I figured it out well let's go then

onward to the DLC don't worry this will

just flip over on its own okay surely

this vehicle can just go all the way to

it

right oh I see now that I look around

I'm pretty sure that's what that boat is

for but I want to go over there with my

vehicle come on I can't seem to find a

place where I can break through well

maybe I can just drive this thing right

into what do you mean it won't fit in

there okay so be it if we go through

here we even see a little sign that

tells us not to do that which goes

against every fiber of my being but I'll

allow it this time just so we can get to

the DLC okay here we are a beautiful

ship all for us aren't we so lucky and

something tells me if we pull this lever

it's going to take us exactly where we

want to go yep that'll do it ah yes look

we're getting underway and everything

say goodbye to the island of whatever

this is called and then after a quick

loading screen say hello to our new

island volcano Ville here we come now

it's time for us to disembark wait can I

just pull this lever and then make it

off the boat let's find out no quickly

wait no no wait don't leave or do leave

I don't really care actually I'll be

seeing you and then another loading

screen back

oh I oh I see well here we are after all

under the ocean just like we wanted not

sure what I did but if we head over here

to the edge of the dirt am I going to be

able to just keep going or am I going to

fall off the Earth let's find out well I

guess that was to be expected ah

Fiddlesticks to put me back on the

mainland you win this round volcano

thingy I'll go ahead and play your game

of using the boat the right way hey and

while this beautiful Voyage is underway

let's talk about something else that's

beautiful and that's the new product by

displate sponsor of this video in case

you don't know displate creates posters

gloriously printed to a sheet of metal

they're beautiful and vibrant not to

menion sturdy see what did I tell you

they can really take a beating and now

displate has a new product line called

displate Textra which takes the metal

posters we know and love and gives them

3D Contours tactile textures and matte

and gloss effects here let me show you a

little bit better come here light I need

this look at this you can see the

Glorious lines the bumps The Contours

and there's hundreds of designs ready to

go with this texture option and they're

expanding it to even more and you can

tell right now on the website which ones

are Textra ready if they show this

little option right here and then you

can preview the whole thing in 3D I even

compared the ones I got to how they're

shown on the website and what you see is

pretty much what you're going to get oh

and by the way they're super easy to

mount with a magnet they provide and

they'll stay put here check out this

display I have from the game rust I've

had it on my wall for the last 5 months

and it's been perfectly in place thanks

to these two magnets and these other

ones I got are a smaller size so they

only need one magnet a piece look how

good that looks easy to mount easy to

adjust easy to love so if you like what

you see use my link in the description

and check out the selected designs you

can get right now with the new texture

finish and thanks again to display for

sponsoring and here we are finally in

the DLC being totally normal and having

not broken anything all right let's see

what's going on around here oh it's you

I'm surprised you're even alive in the

last episode I did I filled his entire

throne with dirt and then eventually

nukes and I thought that was that silly

me I guess I got to try harder this time

well let's greet you my le oh I'm being

pulled into a cut scene a cut scene

where I still have control over my

character as it turns out meanwhile the

guy's trying to explain to me how the

DLC works but meanwhile I'm in the

background just being distracting and

you might be wondering why I look this

way well stuff happen What happens if

while this guy is talking to me I just

open up the menu and I click

unstuck there's no oh I'm just gone and

I have no idea where I'm supposed to be

and then it zooms back out to where I am

as they continue to talk well that was

great I see that where they were is back

over here somewhere but I'm pretty sure

whatever they had to say couldn't have

been that important what is important is

that we have a fancy new vehicle one

that's absolutely going to wow us and

also appears to be fueled by lava oh boy

can't wait to see what Adventures await

us and it looks like the sign's going to

tell us everything we need to know

digging is that way well you don't have

to tell me twice or even once you're a

sign you can't talk and oh my goodness

here we are and there's the volcano and

let's see this sign right here says

either we can go to the right for

digging or to the left for volcano well

I think we know what we're doing we're

going up the volcano no question and

it's nice to see as I'm driving up here

that there's so much new stuff to look

at like look at this I uhoh uh we're

fine like look at this we've got lava

and more lava not to mention over here

we also have lava and then as we get up

even higher it looks like we have a big

giant lift that takes us up somewhere

what happens if we get under the lift

before it gets here

here okay and then it just pops you on

the platform I'll take it and here we

are at the top and how about that

there's even more lava up here as well

as a thing up ahead not really sure what

I'm looking at and if we go around the

side here it looks like there's also a

lever that if we pull it does nothing ah

whatever I'm sure in time we'll figure

out what this all means something tells

me it's going to be Anvil adjacent all

right well that was exciting let's get

out of here let's see if we can take a

more fun way down ah yes like this lava

fall which ooh looks like it could take

us all the way to this snow globe over

here so off we go oh let's do some

tricks while we're here like a sweet

cork screw before submerging ourselves

completely into the lava which you would

think would kill us but don't you worry

somehow we're just fine besides I'm

pretty sure his beautiful skin is immune

to everything okay and we'll take the

nice easy route I can see the dome in

the distance I think we're getting

closer oh I see there's a bridge I could

have been taking that's going to take us

to new Glade Shelter From The Elements

not sure why I would personally want

that I don't know it seems kind of nice

out here what do they have in there that

we don't have out here oh I guess it is

kind of nice and we can still hit people

so I guess everything's fine actually I

have a more pressing question can we

take these people and launch them out

into the elements oh boy can we where's

your shelter now how does it feel you

seem shockingly not concerned about any

of this I'm starting to think you guys

just like the dome but you certainly

don't seem like you need it here you go

fly into the water now have a nice

little cool off the same goes for us by

the way we don't seem to have a problem

with lava like when we jump on it sure

we bounce around a little bit but

overall if we stay in it we kind of get

used to it anyway let's do a quick tour

of this town first and foremost it looks

like there's a new interesting thing

which is this Museum which if we take a

gander looks like we can go inside and

collect dinosaur bones no not that old

guy like it looks like it might be some

kind of a go fetch some

[Music]

hydrocurl blah Museum return blah blah

blah BL one fossil which will get me 100

Scout Guild tokens which I don't really

know what those are but sure we can keep

an eye out for that and let's see what

else is happening around here what does

this store sell well it looks like we

have construction crates used to

construct stores in New Glade wait a

minute I have to make the town Jeweler

construction crate ticket office

construction crate if you make the

ticket office you can take the ship to

MZ Island to buy more Vehicles oh my

goodness a shiping all that stuff you

must be so excited about your job anyway

past this loser we have some more cool

stuff like this lava drill now we're

talking and this lava Harvester and the

most exciting thing here the task Board

Store task notes for easy display all by

50 thank you anyway that's pretty much

what this game is about digging and

Mining and stuff as you can see by this

other shop over here this furthers what

we're going to be doing we've got all

kinds of supplies like anvils and other

stuff like a gem cutter and this magnet

thingy and this bucket and pan as well

as building stuff a bed for crying in

stuff for people smarter than me and for

some of my personal favorites pipes

pipes and more pipes and as you can see

when we Mouse over them they move lava

around this is different than the base

game where you usually work with water

but it looks like here oops all lava oh

and I guess this thing in the center is

that thing that keeps the Dome up and

unfortunately try as I might the game

doesn't let you actually jump into the

middle and boy howdy do I want to oh and

in case you're curious no you can't

launch the villagers into it they just

bounce right off here let me help you

get back into the museum see there you

go and now that we've seen civilization

let's head back out into the hot cold

and see about some place where we can do

some mining gosh I should have been

paying attention I don't actually know

where I'm going wait never mind here's a

sign H let's see dig town or dig well

I've had enough town for now so let's go

check out this one and after a nice

uneventful drive we arrive at our

destination scoria chamber look at this

it has all the information we need to

know you use the shovel and you

spontanously combust but then I noticed

this they want me to pay for this no

thank you I'll be taking my goods

elsewhere and then instead of taking the

road we're going to take a shortcut so

that we can never truly get a sense of

where we are but I don't know this looks

promising it's the town of burville oh I

get it because it's cold here you're all

so clever but it's good to know this

place exists because here you can buy

conveyor belts and goodness knows I'm

going to want those oh now here's a

citizen I like doesn't talk to me looks

disappointed in me why can't everybody

be more like you anyway that's great and

all but I'm tired of driving around I

just want to do some sweet sweet digging

I know there's a free plot of land

around here somewhere there always is I

guess I should have listened to the guy

at the very beginning who was giving me

clear concise instructions but wait what

have I come across here what the heck is

this ooh looks like someone was murdered

out here let's see what is this a good a

hydroa or leg excellent I'll be sure to

turn this into the local authorities

later I'm just excited to have a piece

of a dead body in my truck oh wait I

found it here I am at the base of the

volcano where I went this way and it

turns out our starting thing is right

over here yep here we are at Beautiful

Dawn rest what a piece of crap but

whatever free is free and now I can do

my favorite part that I do every single

episode and explain how these things

work so here we start with our shovel

bucket and pan and also a torch

apparently and also a map but that would

require reading so here's how it works

we take our shovel and the bucket and

the pan and then we walk all this stuff

all the way closer to the lava we take

the old shovel scoop up whatever this is

dump it into the bucket and do this a

couple more times then drop that shovel

right on the ground pick up your bucket

drop that pile into the pan and then I'm

going to assume we pick up some lava

well let's find out well I think that

did it we can pick this up with our

hands right yep looks like we can and

then we take that lava drop the thing in

the thing and TAA amazing minerals okay

wait I got some questions now if I get

some more lava what happens if I just

dump it on the ice ooh look at that

there's a noticeable indentation that as

the Sun starts to set you can definitely

see it a little bit better well that's

all sorts of exciting I love the idea I

can affect everything without even using

the shovel does the same work the

opposite like if I take this stuff and

then I take it over to the lava does it

melt when I put it near the lava looks

like that's a yes or at least I think I

can still Place some ice here but no

further it looks like although as we get

closer to this side right here we can

get awfully close to the lava so even

though there's some boundaries they're

definitely not like hard boundaries in

fact I'm pretty sure that was more of a

border of our digging space and less

about the lava seeing as how I can just

drop this stuff right in and it doesn't

seem to have any problem with this WOW

Nature's crazy anyway once we have

minerals like this thing which in this

case is a big old thing of gold ore we

can float this thing out in front of us

stroll past our vehicle walk all the way

back to town and here we meet our best

friend the Jeweler staring vacantly off

into space and we walk up to them and

we're like M lad must be swimming in

tokens some all those tickets he sells

sir don't talk to me like we're friends

and then we throw it down on the table

which gives us a beautiful 5C and then

get away from them or else they're going

to keep talking push the big red button

and take our amazing earnings back into

my greedy little hands then turn around

and give this person one last look at

disain and then it's time to walk all

the way back five whole coins richer and

then I'm going to place that right on

the edge of the lava right here just to

keep it warm yeah there's no way I'm

going to lose that I mean clearly this

is all fine we don't seem to have a

problem picking up things that are

probably really really hot and we'll

just go over here and do this a whole

bunch more times and then we do this

process over and over again until this

turns into this it's mineral

Extravaganza I don't know what most of

this is and to top it off we're going to

give it a little

garnish yeah there we go now it just

looks like one big Clump and then back

to this guy don't do it don't say

anything okay good anyway look at that

one day I will buy shut up anyway we dug

up enough minerals to land us a cool

6,024 coins what a deal hey what's your

problem you didn't want the lava that's

okay consider this a tip from me to

you whatever I'm sure he's fine anyway

there should be plenty of starting cash

for us to buy some fun things hey

everybody it's me again I'm here to buy

some stuff specifically these things

because nothing gets my heart pounding

like a ticket office so give me one of

these and go put it over here on this

buying platform and then actually we're

just going to grab all of these so this

tier one store as well as Jeweler thingy

on you go and this tier 2 thingy and

also tier three who cares we have the

money and then you take your cash bring

it on back over here and feed the

payment bucket and then push the big red

button and this all becomes ours oh boy

so many things that I'm not quite sure

what they do okay let's see how this

works what do we do with this crate oh I

think I figured it out something tells

me it goes in the Big Green Space okay I

see well it sure doesn't look very done

what do we have to oh no oh no

objectives now we've done it we have to

get he stone blocks and iron bars I

knowbody I'm upset too that we have to

mine in a mining game well I guess let's

get started well now I'm curious what

these tear crates do and here's an empty

spot to put one right

now oh it's the it's the tier 2 store

how silly of me and just like the last

thing there's requirements for this

thing too this one takes the same things

as before just more of them with the

addition of cladium bars what do you

think about this sir yep I get it just

Blair witching into a wall and now to

start our wild Empire let's get some

supplies ey wager the first thing we're

going to need are some pipes pipes of

all kinds really and we'll pick up a

bunch of this other stuff too okay let's

go do some fun stuff with all this crap

we bought okay so here's my plan I don't

actually have a plan I'm just going to

pick all this stuff up and put it down

for now okay that should about do it I

think we're about ready to start doing

some stuff I mean I'm not exactly sure

where everything is but I know it's in

there somewhere so I'm sure we'll figure

it out for starters we're going to need

one of them pipes that pulls the things

from the thing yeah this the lava intake

pipe pumps lava into pipe system which

means all we have to do is take this

pipe and slap it right into the lava ah

yes what a lovely

noise then we can take one of these

other pipes perhaps this one and then

just slap it onto the front and we can

extend its reach luckily somewhere in

here we have one of these twisty dealies

excuse me a valve hook which stops the

passing of water lava were logic well I

don't need a device to stop the logic

but at least we can attach this to the

lava pipe then give it a little twist a

thank goodness it's stopped and that

lets us do a bunch of building without

fear of that thing making noise or

dribbling lava on everything which I

wouldn't have cared about If This Were

water but when it comes to Lava

something more dire can happen here

allow me to show you oh dear there it

goes when is it going to stop excellent

question I don't know but I sure I'm

excited to find out so if we just peer

in here it doesn't look like it's going

very far but then I real realiz

something it might be up against this

icy ramp like we've got all this ice we

can dig but there is like a foundation

we can't dig through see look right

there's the wall which leads me to

believe if we keep digging right here

we're going to see that this lava made

hole probably only extends that far yep

it's stopping on the ramp what I mean to

say is we still don't know how far this

will drip down will it go through all

the ice to do an accurate test we're

going to have to build out a little

further a lot further yeah that's

probably better if we Zoom all the way

out we can see that it's essentially in

the dead center of our little frozen

pond thing which hopefully means this is

the deepest spot okay let's find out

well it's definitely doing its thing

dropping that lava further and further

and we can definitely see it's doing

something like with every drop we can

see some kind of cosmetic change

happening it looks like it's not going

down any further so either that's as far

down as it'll dig or that's the bottom

of the map well let's find out we'll

just go down the oldfashioned way and

see as I stare at the blinding blinding

white and dig a hole at least it's later

in the day and I can see again we're

getting kind of closer but not really

actually as I was digging all this stuff

out I realized that if I crouch and then

shove myself way in here I can actually

see through the ground now I know this

might look weird at first but this long

column you're seeing here is actually

this we're just seeing it from a

different angle like we're not supposed

to and because of that we don't see all

the surrounding dirt or anything we just

see straight through to whatever tunnels

have been made well that's all I needed

to see now that I know how far down this

is going to melt this opens up to a

grand plan which is I want to use all

these supplies over here to do the

digging for me so just give me a second

this won't take very long okay this

should be better plenty of pipes to drop

lava all over the place and if all goes

according to plan it should create nice

little divots for us so let's go ahead

and fire it up and see what

happens oh wow look at it go look at

that lava just cascading down and it's

definitely making holes everywhere it

lands what a beautiful thing to watch

quickly let's head into our underground

little thing and clip through to see

what it looks like oh my goodness well I

think we can see it's definitely digging

down for us we can see all these points

where when the lava hits it makes their

little Caverns bigger well I'm sure

pleased that this is working on to the

next stage of our plan so the next thing

we need to do here is take one of our

machines I think it's this one the lava

drill the deeper you dig the better the

resources yeah that sounds great how

about instead we do right on the surface

see here's how it works this thing goes

and then this thing goes but in order

for that to happen we got to plug it

into some lava you know out of the back

of its head no problem we'll just set up

another one of these things oh okay okay

let's see if it works well shiver me

timbers it does what a convenient

nature-made funnel well if one is good

more has to be better right of course it

does after all what's the point of all

these holes if we're not going to use

them as ice repositories and the way

I've set these up is they all connect to

the same little Pipeline and all I have

to do is turn the valve to open up the

flow of lava so what are we waiting for

let's do it ah there they go talk about

efficiency grinding up and spitting out

ice to fill into holes made of ice

although is as this is I'm noticing a

flaw in my plan what I wasn't accounting

for is that these little pieces of ice

can combine with other pieces of ice to

make bigger Pieces Of Ice And if that

happens nothing's going to fit down the

hole anymore see I want you to be more

like this and less like this don't worry

though I have an idea of how to fix this

because while these little ice cubes

might change size you know what'll never

betray me the size of the ore that comes

out of them I'm going to assume that

stuff like this gold ore will also fit

down

here yep safe and sound that's fine

we'll just adjust this process a little

bit we were going to have to set up

these things anyway the lava Harvesters

breaks ice and frost Rock chunks into

resources now one way I could fix this

is I could take these machines and place

them up a little higher which means also

the ice comes out higher and then we can

put the Harvester right in front of it

so in theory the ice will pop out of

there fall into this and be ground up

and then minerals will pop out of this

shoot which will then fly down into

these holes but I've already done

Contraptions kind of like this so let's

do something a little bit different

instead we're going to leave everything

on the same level that it is now and

move it back just one tile we're going

to fill this new space in with something

else which is one of my favorite things

to use in basically any situation which

we're going to pick up back over here in

burville watch out coming through ah

there they are my beautiful beautiful

conveyor belts we got old favorite here

the one that goes straight ahead and

then the one that goes up the two that

help change direction and then the ones

I forgot what they do there's also an

additional thing we're going to have to

worry about which is these these aren't

lava pipes like we have back at the base

oh no they're water pipes because even

though everything else now takes lava

these things only work by hooking on to

water pipes so in addition to all that

lava stuff we have to figure out how to

make these water pipes work for us too
