A proposition to add another use for dynamite that doesn't involve terrorism.

Put dynamite near ore/mineral rock, when the dynamite explodes 5-15 ores/minerals are spawned in the radius of 3 hex around the ore/mineral rock (on hexes which don't block movement). You could place dynamite on hex adjacent to multiple resource rocks to get better outcome.

I got some idea related to this.
When you see caves without opening, you could make hole with dynamite and enter there.

Sorry english :/

Good idea, just a few comments:
 - I think people very seldom travel with items "just in case" (hey maybe I will find a cave without opening, I will carry dynamite with me all the time)
 - the value of dynamite usually is greater than any stuff you can find in caves

Maybe if caves without openings would have some great treasures (along with great enemies to prevent easy farming).
So it would be sort of anti-newbie block but you could take an experienced party with a demolition expert and explore more difficult caves. There could be also rocks blocking paths inside the cave, so not all enemies would run at you at once and demo expert would be still needed inside.

Hurr! You already can mine with explosives. Just shoot miners with rocket launcher.

FYI in cbt mining works like this: there are limited ammounts of resources that regenerate over time but you don't have gathering cooldown. So perhaps dynamite could give you resources even if they have been depleted by normal mining.

Would give create a good risk - reward setting by encouraging entering unsafe mines with more than just hammer.

Not only with dynamite... With frags too (although with worse outcome)

Interesting idea 

[falloutdude]

someone else already suggested this awhile back.

[Wallace]

Yes.... I didn't pointed it out before coz the idea isn't exactly the same and is meant for after wipe

True! It's already implemented =D

Dynamite only. Newer seen somebody digging ore by grenades or launcher 

[JovankaB]

I think mining with fragmentation grenade would be a bit like chopping trees with throwing knives

But aside from weirdness, the reason I proposed this was to make dynamite a tool, useful in many different situations, so demo expert could be more than a craft alt for griefers. There is no problem with grenades, they are weapons made to kill and let them stay that way. Adding the same functionality to easily farmable weapons would only dilute the idea and made dynamite more pointless.

Not that i'd cry if dynamite will be a tool for mining and frags and other thing won't...

I just thought about veratility here

I'm all for this suggestion, brings out the peaceful side for this profession.

I think it's perfect idea. It would be a bit like with dynamite you can get ores that is deeper in rocks and you can't get with hammer. Because right now gangs have very little reason to let other mine. They could allow it if you brought dynamite.

Use dynamites to craft more dynamites? Then use more dynamites to get even more dynamites? Or if dynamites will bring less resources than it needed to craft, then it'll be pointless to use them for mining, if not, then it'll be accumulative effect, more and more and more dynamites, booms 24/7 in mines until you'll reach number of needed dynamites and then will get spare mats non-stop for other than dynamite things. It's like if sledgehammer was breaking with each swing and you could craft new one from ore you just dug with it. It's.. pointless.
