Hello! ːsteamhappyːThis week’s internal testing of the dozers highlighted a key issue in how we calculate dirt volume. And the current system has been known to be unreliable, which led to dozers deleting material. We’ve now overhauled the volume calculations to ensure dirt volume is preserved properly.This change means removing overburden will take longer than before, but it also unlocks a major gameplay improvement: you’ll now be able to push valuable material closer to a plant using a dozer without losing it along the way.These new volume calculations will also serve as the foundation for upcoming overhauls across the rest of the vehicle lineup. Getting this system right was especially important for dozers and graders, since their feel and accuracy depend heavily on how material behaves.Meanwhile, the rest of the team has been hard at work on our upcoming secret project.The new dirt volume calculations are far more accurate than previous versions.A new design of the grading indicator for blade machines that fits the rest of the UI.Features in develpment! ːsteamhappyːReport any issues directly to us!

Hello! ːsteamhappyː This week’s focus has been on adding all the recent dozer and grader improvements to all dozers and grader variants. The updated graders and dozers will arrive in the next update. Even though the models may look similar, they behave differently when some can push nearly twice as much material. So each one needed its own round of tuning to make sure the new systems feel consistent and reliable across the board. We’ve also worked on a new grading indicator for both dozers and graders. The green bar shows the machine’s angle relative to the ground, while the blue bar represents the blade’s angle. It’s a simple but incredibly helpful tool for keeping track of your cutting position and maintaining the exact angle you want. Think of it as a lightweight, built‑in version of the GPS system. Meanwhile, the rest of the team has been hard at work expanding the conveyor and power systems. There’s a lot happening on that front, but we’ll save those details for an upcoming Friday news post.Grader with new grade indication that comes as standard on all graders and dozers Both dozers and graders lined up for testing, dozers moving mass and graders cleaning afterFeatures in develpment! ːsteamhappyːReport any issues directly to us!
