Hydroneer Easy Machine for Ore and Money Farming 2022

This guide will show YOU how to make a small contraption to farm money early in the game. This will also give you a fully functioning machine that allows you to easily produce ore and, ainsi, argent.

Simple Cash Farm Mk. je

Tout d'abord, the image below is how our farm will look finished. It will only have the bare minimum for now, mais nous’ll get to potential expansions later.

Required Parts for Mk. je

For our small cutesy contraption, we will need the following parts:

The Heart and Soul of our Farm

• Used Iron Drill – 432c
• Used Iron Harvester – 320c

Both of which you can find in the used parts shop close to your starting location.

The Connections

• 1 Straight Pipe – 22c
• 1 T-Shaped Pipe – 28c
• 1 Curve Pipe – 25c
• 1 Intake Pipe – 36c

Conseil bonus: Use your Wooden Cart to carry all of your pipes, and items in general, at once. Et don’t forget to buy Tool Bags (220c) En tant que sauvegarde, in case your machines or pipes break.

Coût

Donc, if we do the math, we come up with a sum of 863c that we require for our little machine.

Bonus Way

If you get bored by all the diggin’ ‘n’ stuff and don’t mind spending 52c on a fishing pole, harvesting the river is another valid and nice way to reach our money goal.

La magie

Try to build the contraption like this:

Une fois que vous’ve placed both machines and our pipes, make sure to grab your shovel and place one (1) patch of dirt right under our drill. Vraiment, only one small patch is enough for it to work, pinky promise.

Aussi, remember to place your pan close to our harvester so you don’t have to pick every ore up yourself.

If everything is set up correctly, the drill now automatically spits dirt into our harvester and, en retour, into our pan.

The Sky is the Limit

Maintenant, this is definitely a really solid setup, but what if you want plus?

Enfiler’ne t'inquiète pas, je’ll also show you a little idea for an expansion I went with. But like they say, « The Sky is the Limit ».

Gromp’s Mk. II

If you want to build something along the lines of the picture above, C'est ce que tu’ll need in addition to the parts you already have:

• 10 Straight Pipes – 22c each
• 1 T-Shaped Pipe – 28c
• 5 Curved Pipes – 25c each

We will also want some of those tasty conveyor belts, which you can find at the shop here:

• 1 Straight Conveyor – 220c
• 1 Vertical Conveyor – 323c
• 1 (ou plus) Splitter Conveyor – 532c each

• 1 Valve Hook – 85c
• 1 Pressure Tank – 142c
• 2 Funnels – 110c each
• 2 Water Filter Hooks – 74c each
• 1 Fonderie – 1320c
• 3 Concrete Floors – 5c each
• 1 extra Pan – 12c

Pressure tanks allow you to reset your water pressure back up to 100% if you put in either a raw shard (the blue glowy crystals) or a bar. Finalement, you will need them because the pressure drops by 3% (2.5% with Tier 2 tuyaux) with each pipe path.

Le Water Filters, d'autre part, increase the quality of the water. Each gives 2 points, while you have a max of 10 quality points per water intake. Higher quality water damages your machines less, so that is always nice.

If you use my recommendation for parts, your total cash, lequel tu’ll need for the new upgrade, will come to around 3375c. Condamner, that sounds like a lot… toutefois, with the little cash farm that we already have, ça devrait’t take long for us to get to this goal.  En outre, you can also always keep fishing while you wait for your machine to give you that sweet, sweet ore.

Setup of the Mk. II

If you already successfully built the Mk. je, setting this one up will be a breeze for you. Try to follow the guidelines of the images below, or mix it up and build your own version.

After building it, put the resources you would like to filter out on the tray of the conveyer splitter, like in the third image above.

Hopefully I was able to share some new and fun ideas with you.
