Hydroneer Walkthrough: Where to Get Money, How to Buy Items, How to Skip the Night, How to Craft and More

Hydroneer is a new game with a conditionally open world and a unique crafting system. In addition to the endless "digging" in the game, you can search for various relic items, go fishing and move around in a large clumsy hydro truck.

How to play

First, let's deal with items and mechanics. As soon as you appear in the game for the first time, you will only have a lantern and a shovel in front of you, with which you can dig up resources. On the other side of the field, by the river, you will also find an orphan bucket, a trough and a brush. To find resources, you need to place some earth in a trough, fill it with water, then brush it.

When you have dug up enough resources, put them all in a bucket, take it and go to the shop on the hill. Put the bucket on the table to see how much money you getgo for resources. If you agree with the terms of the deal, click on the purple button below the amount. The coins will appear in a bucket in front of you.

For money, you can buy other items in game stores. In every part of the world, you will find a store that has upgraded items, as well as other useful crafting equipment and more. Throw your money into the trough, select an item to buy and place it on the wooden surface behind the table. At this point, the amount of the item will appear on the table. If you have enough funds, click on the purple button, after which you can take the item out of the store.

How to earn coins fast

The first and main way to earn coins in the game is to dig for resources. But to be honest, it's pretty tedious. Therefore, to quickly earn coins, we suggest using the following scheme. Head to the nearest field and collect enough resources to earn the first 52 coins. This amount is enough to quickly raise money in the game in the future. Once you've done that, run to the nearest store and buy a fishing rod. Go to any body of water, drive a car there (preferably backwards), and start fishing right from the body. Doing this is very simple: when the fish pecks, prJust press LMB, and it will immediately fall into the back of the truck.

A small fish costs 5-7 coins, a larger fish costs 11 coins, and large blue and yellow fish cost up to 25 coins. When you get bored - climb into the cabin and take the prey to the nearest store. Place the fish on the table and take the money.

How to fuel a truck

The truck runs on water, and the tank with "fuel" is located directly on the roof of the car. If you run out of water along the way, click on the "Get Out" menu to be at the nearest body of water. Take a bucket or basin, fill it with water and pour it into the tank of the truck.

How to wait for the morning

To quickly skip the night, you need to purchase a bed. Now that this item is in your base, just right-click on it and wait until the morning.

How to craft complex items

To craft complex items such as swords, rings withprecious stones and others, you need to purchase a furnace , an anvil , a crucible , a mold , and, of course, a blacksmith's hammer . Place all these items in your base, fire up the furnace and start crafting.

Let's analyze the craft using the example of a gold ring with a sapphire. First you need to find enough gold to melt it into an ingot. So: take the golden pieces and place them in the crucible. Then throw the crucible on the furnace, which is already diluted. When the crucible turns red, pour its contents into the mold. So you get a gold ingot. The rest of the gold can be used in the future.

Now that you have an ingot, throw it straight into the furnace until it's red hot. First you need to place the gem on the anvil. When everything is ready, place the stones and ingot on the anvil and use the hammer. The ring is ready!

These are all the basic tips that will come in handy for you in the first couple. We'll update this guide with advanced tips for mining, creating houses and structures, and exploring caves a bit later.
