Excavate Large Areas for Building
Planning Your Excavation
Hammers excel at clearing large spaces for construction projects. Before you start, plan the area you need to clear.
Excavation Process:
1. Mark out your building area with blocks or markers
2. Equip your hammer and stand at one corner
3. Use 3×3 mode to systematically clear rows of blocks
4. Work in a grid pattern to avoid missing sections
5. Switch to Precision Mode to remove individual blocks around edges or obstacles
Tips for Large Projects
- Start from the top and work downward to avoid falling
- Clear in straight lines to maintain organization
- Use Precision Mode to preserve nearby structures
- Bring multiple hammers and repair materials
- Consider the depth needed and plan your mining pattern accordingly
The 3×3 area makes excavation significantly faster than traditional tools, turning hours of work into minutes for foundation clearing and terrain modification.
