How do you know when to do a clean up?

Hi guys so when working on the excavator in the claim and the workers are changing the mats and buckets out how do you know when all the mats and buckets are full? Do you get a warning that they are while you work in the excavator or do you have to keep on checking the plant?

When you look at the items, they should show a percentage full number. When you reach or approach 100% then is full. Some will even flash messages something like now spilling...

Ok so if I read your reply correctly then it means I have to keep on checking at the plant there is no message popping up while working in the excavator?

Correct. You have to be able to see the % of the mats or wash plant. When they get to 100% (or 99% if you don't want waste pay dirt) you should do your clean out.

And you should be able to see the percentages of at least some of the components, when near. So don't necessarily have to exit excavator to check the plant. The 100% is for all the buckets or such that NPC's switch, so when 1 bucket is done then 50%, & after final buck et is 100%.

Merck I am digging on the Pine River claim on the very far side I cant see the plant percentages from where I am digging hence why I asked if you need to exit the excavator and goto the plant to check, thanks guys this answers my question.

So you using the Franks then? Yeah, if still using trucks or others that can get close to the plant then you can see the reports, but there is no other display of them being filled otherwise. That would be a good option, to somehow get a report (maybe from NPC's over the phone)???

I've worked far side of Nighthawk and Pine Valley and using franks. I always looked at fuel usage from franks and predict how much percent remaining at the clean up. When I hit 30% fuel remaining on frank, I would stop and run to check the washplant to make sure.

to get a message like that, i believe you have to unlock the system msgs and breakdown box on your laptop in the tent.

Uh, no, it won't tell you if the mats or bucket at washplant are full. Only when you dig and fill up bucket, it will tell you it's full, but not sluice mats or buckets.

the sluece and bucket etc should have an idicator above it showing you the amt.
