Description

Groundwork Simulator is a realistic simulator of heavy construction equipment, in which you have to change the landscape, dig the ground and look for gold on your own work site. Operate excavators, loaders and transport machines, dig trenches, cut the slopes and transport the extracted materials to the processing site. Every action changes the surrounding area, so work planning becomes an important part process: todays pit can turn into tomorrow's access road or a new site for equipment.

The technique management is based on the soil physics system and simulation of hydraulics operation. The bucket encounters the resistance of the ground, is filled with material and reacts to the selected angle of digging, and it depends on your actions how effectively you can remove and lift the load. Gradually master the features of machines, choose convenient areas of development and rebuild the site for new tasks. Here it is important not just to move the ground, but to understand how the change in terrain affects the further work and movement of equipment.

A separate area of activity is related to the search for gold-bearing deposits. Explore the area with drilling and test checks, identify promising locations, and install flushing equipment. The extracted soil passes through the sluice trays, after which the concentrate is processed on the concentration table. To organize a full-fledged production, it will be necessary to establish a water supply using pumps and hoses, correctly position the equipment and maintain uninterrupted operation of the site.
