Calc Horizon Forbidden West - Rockbreaker breaks into the Arena

A rockbreaker breaks into the Tanuk arena, throwing up boulders and logs on the way in so the rebels can attack (at high speeds too). The average height of a person is 1.7m.
111 pixels = 1.7m
1 pixel = 1.7m/111 = 0.0153153153m
0.0153153153m X 546 = 8.36216215m
8.36216215m/2 = 4.18108107m
0.0153153153m X 508 = 7.78018017m

Volume as a cylinder.

V = πr^2h
= π X 4.18108107^2 X 7.78018017
= 427.284072m^3

The hole is empty and even while deep underground the surface above is being torn apart with rocks and logs being thrown in the air, which I think more than justifies violent fragmentation (violent fragmentation of rock being 69000000 joules/m^3).

E = 427.284072 X 69000000
= 29482600968 joules

As impressive as this is, this is just when the hole the rockbreaker makes when it enters the Maw Arena. It had dug into it from outside. Thankfully, the Horizon Forbidden West in-game map shows us an overlay of the arena and the path the rockbreaker went through. The Horizon Forbidden West in-game map has a total size of 24km^2, with a height of 2800m and a width of 8700m (although the explorable area of the game is just 16km^2).

The total map size of Horizon Forbidden West is ~24km² (2800m height x 8700m width). However, some parts are narrower and it’s not a perfectly square-shaped map. The actual explorable area is about 16km². Flying from the east end to the west end of the map takes about 12 minutes using the flying mount. There are areas of all types, from meadows to deserts, snowy mountains, jungles, beaches and oceans.

1638 pixels = 2800m
1 pixel = 2800m/1638 = 1.70940171m
1.70940171m X 24 = 41.025641m
1.70940171m X 49 = 83.7606838m

Volume once again as a cylinder.

V = πr^2h
= π X 4.18108107^2 X 83.7606838
= 4600.09991m^3

E = 4600.09991 X 69000000
= 317406893790 joules

Finally, we'll add the two together to get out final results.

E = 29482600968 + 317406893790
= 346889494758 joules
= 82.9085790530593 tons of TNT

Let's also get the amount of energy it would take to burrow per second.


332 seconds.

E = 82.9085790530593 tons of TNT/32
= 2.5908931 tons of TNT

Final Results
Rockbreaker burrows into the Maw Arena (energy per second) = 2.591 tons of TNT
Rockbreaker burrows into the arena (total energy) = 82.906 tons of TNT
