Newbie: How do I use mines?

Your tech dude needs to minor surveyor training to be able to use mines.

If he does then it's like this.

Hold the mine in your hands and you should have a ícon that says: 'Deploy'.

Click this icon and you get an downpointing arrow on your mouse cursor.

Now click where you want to deploy your explosive/mine.

An other option for blowing up doors is simply targeting with weapons and shoot at them until they break....Might require some ammo though.

Same thing with explosive devices such as dynamite.

 

***Edit

You can destroy objects with the rocket launcher as well - therefore You do not need to carry a technician around.

A robot with 4 rocket launchers simply rocks... One shot, and it's gone...

While we're on the subject of explosives, do you know those missions where you have to blow up the power generators for the hyperspace gates? I used a stick of dynamite and placed it right next to the generator yet when it blew up the generator was left untouched while enemy units quite far away got a lot of damage.

 

Do I have to research some powerfull type of explosive to make this work or is there some trick to it?
