You can always start a thread here but some days i forget to check steam so your safest bet is to go to Discord

https://discord.com/invite/3VjbCPw

or

[e-mail]

For those that want to keep playing with patch 0.21 you can do this

Right click on the game in your steam library,
Press "properties"
Press "betas,
Enter "diggydiggyhole" as a code
Join the version you want to play!

Would be cool to see more variety in sizes of bucket attachments and the capacity sizes marked for viewing. More variety in vehicles even pickups and transport trucks with trailers etc. I know it's very early still and I am sure you already have thought about these. So far so good keep it going!

Would be cool if it wasn't beta. There's a section stating images coming soon???
And after going through all that digging for tutorial 1, I've managed to jump into a tree and got myself stuck. There's no reset or any kind of error trapping to fix this kind of issue?
No reset for vehicles if it flips over?
Come on. After moving your code from the other game, you'd think this would be more polished.

Press Q and in the top left is Rescue Back to Camp. Top right has a vehicle menu and Rescue on those too. Can be abused to reset the fuel and worn filters though.

The fuel truck could use more power. It's frustratingly slow on inclines. I even bulldozed and flattened a road halfway to a tower and it doesn't seem any better than driving on the grass.

An easier way to build roads would be cool too. Being able plan 10 or so metre sections where you set the height, width, direction and gradient and then remove or deliver the required amount of dirt, then smooth it enough to complete an automatically created section of road would make life easier.

Last thing for now, a hand shovel tool to dig up the pesky single pieces of ore that fall out and leave grey spots along on my roads or at the delivery point. Using machinery isn't really worth the effort to dig it up and then having to repair the hole.

Fuel truck power is on the bug list, fast terraforming is on the suggestion list and the shovel

Best regards Christian

[Next Gen Access]

Hello, You've made a great prototype and the future of this game is incredible. I support you 100 %. This game, at this state, is already accessible for disabled people. One feature you could introduce for better controls is a dedicated input for camera locking for first/third person views and for vehicles first/third person views. Please, keep up the good work !!!

Thanks mate

I've delivered fuel a few times without issue (other than it being slow), but the last time I arrived at the East tower, it started adding fuel and went over the 8500 capacity.

I saved and quit and it completed the mission when loading, but continued adding more fuel to the truck.. so I saved and quit again and completed a second delivery before resetting back to camp.

I've just bought the game and have run into some clunkers for me unfortunately.

Coming from other games the control setup is a road block for me. I have a DFGT wheel, T-LCM pedals and a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick.

On the excavator I want to use the accelerator pedal to rotate right and the clutch pedal to rotate left but the game allows only one pedal for both left and right and I have to hold that pedal part way down to not rotate at all. Also the game doesn't seem to recognise the joystick rotate, the stick twists for a 3rd axis, which I want to use to open and close the bucket.

First off, well done on a neat game! Having lots of fun.
Couple suggestions. I feel the game needs a bit of progression. Its easy to just take out a massive loan, buy what you want and thats it.
Secondly, you could add more parts to the sorting/ washplant. Have a refining mechanic or something like that.
Also, maybe some more POI around the map ( think Gold rush or even farming simulator) Things like a gas station and a proper store that you have to visit.

Again, great work on this game. Cant wait to see what you add/change.

Working on adding Independant track control! dunno about it not recognizing the joystick tho it should recognize all axises

I would love if you made it harder, You shoudlent be able to get a loan of 8mil and by everything in the game then its no point of playing it. Max loan maybe 500k so you either can buy a wheel loader OR the cheapest dumptruck and excavator.
And like other ppl say, the lag and the crash is enoying and all the settings you have made with controlls is gone...
i like there is a lot of equipment but cant you have something with a more "space" and not alot of the same kinde? And i want when im in shop i wanna know how mutch a dumptruck or excavator can load so i se the dif bettween all the equipment.

I would LOVE to have a game like this with multiplayer there is non outthere. Cant you make it multiplayer?

[Paulie Walnuts]

I agree with above, have two modes, sandbox with unlimited money, and story where you start with a small amount of money and land and have to grow realistically. This way both types of players can enjoy the game. Multiplayer would also be fantastic.

[Sedition]

Does anyone know how to remove the detonator off the ground? Doesn't seem to be a button to pick it up and demolish mode doesn't work either.

A few moments later... Demolish mode when using your character to click the detonator picks it up.
