Common Rocket Burn questions

General questions

Why didn't the frozen path form?+

Check that enough frozen material actually reached the Water and created a continuous crossing route.

What do I do if I scattered the material?+

Stop firing, let everything settle, then work only with material still close enough to the Water to recover the path.

Spoiler questions

SpoilerHow do you solve Rocket Burn in Sandustry?+

Aim the Rocket Launcher at the frozen material or its support so the material falls into the Water. Once enough of it forms a continuous route, cross the basin and collect the Artifact.

SpoilerWhere should I shoot the Rocket Launcher?+

Aim at the support or frozen material positioned to fall toward the Water basin. Avoid shots that send the material away from the basin.
