Tier 3 Shaker

[colin145]

Had a look at Digtube to see how to load the Tier 3 Shaker.
It shows that you use the Excavator. Really? This takes forever!! The Excavator really struggles on inclines.

Is it possible to use the Front End Loader?

I use the excavator for all my washpan setups. Yes it is slow at some time, but I have found that if you don't try to constantly turn while moving up inclines, then it will go a bit faster. Turning tracked vehicles really slows them down. So what I usually do is move forward as far as can go, then stop & pivot in place, to line up next direction. Then back forward to go to next spot.

Also, you don't have to climb straight up the steepest spot. Often you can go slightly around with a route that is more gradual, & hence easier to travel.

And the excavator can pivot in place (either with tracks, or just the main body), once you get to where you desire to place the piece of equipment. So the excavator gives you a lot more flexability to place wash plant parts.

After reaching tier 3 i bought front loader, it's much more fast and can fill shaker with less trip.
I sold excavator without asking for a loan.

I skipped front loader, instead got myself conveyor belt + dump truck. With t3 you should get around 80oz per clean and with this setup i've done 2 cleanouts per day

what parts have a chipest t3 setup?? but i'm really sure u need that conveyor belt and dump truck to feed your shaker what makes your bill double to get complete t3

Yeah, i took a loan of 400k+, had to pay back around a 1mil, but with this setup it was easily done. Playing on normal difficulty.

Also a trick - before Taking loan, buy T3 parts and install them. Take a loan right after day starts, and install rest of your machines that you couldn't afford. This way you save at least few hours in game, which you will need to make cash to pay back daily loan. You gotta work all night :) Next step, after paying back whole loan, which takes around 15 days, is to buy frank - then you can sell dump truck and conveyor setup (sell before buying frank - it's around 150k). After that buy second frank and after that buy Old Arnold's. At least it's what I did and now, after New season, 3 days till summer saved 1,5mln cash
