Control earth math help
Can someone help me with some math here, I want to make it's being done right. If you have control earth 4, and you want to move earth to create a hole 21 feet wide, 21 feet long, and 9 feet deep, how long will that take? And what if it was stone or brick of the same space, how long would it take? Thx

Re: Control earth math help
You can move 160lbs of earth at a time. When dry, one cubic yard of dirt weighs roughly one ton. Your intended project requires moving 147 cubic yards of dirt. Long story short? You're better off paying some people to grab shovels and help you dig.

147 cubic yards, so 147,000 pounds of dirt. With a power of 4 that would take 918 seconds, correct? 147,000 divided by 160 pounds of moving per second of concentration. Or 15 minutes to move that dirt, and if its 1FP per min, that 15 FP. If this is right how is it not better then the hours or days to have it done with shoves? and what would it be with a yard of stone or brick, do you know? |

Re: Control earth math help
Stone weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 160 pounds per cubic foot. So you'd be moving a cubic foot at a time.
It's also doubtful that you'd be able to do anything with a large block of stone. I'm not sure if you can use Control to break off single cubic feet of the relevant material, especially if it's a rigid solid. If the stone is already fractured into small chunks, you'd be fine, but not if there's a massive stone wall.

Re: Control earth math help
Hey 160 lbs a second is nothing to sneer at. The job would be done in 30 minutes.
