Improvement for digging with excavator
There is currently a huge problem when digging with the excavator(s). When the excavator bucket is full it ceases to affect the dirt from that point on. This causes the bucket to get stuck in situations where it would never get stuck. Just b/c the excavaor bucket is full does not mean that it will not affect dirt when it hits it or digs into it. It just won't add any new dirt to the bucket. The problem is that the only time dirt is affected is when it is added to the bucket. This leads to very strange behavior with the bucket.

The bucket should continue to be able to affect the dirt even after it is full. This is dirt we are digging not solid concrete. Because the dirt only changes shape when it is added to a container this causes a lot of things to get stuck. I've noticed as well that some wheels get stuck on inch thick dirt and this is b/c the dirt is physically static at this point and is essentially a collider which is correct but wheels should also be able to plow through at least certain depths of dirt.

Example:

The bucket dug into the dirt and stopped affecting it when it was full. Thus the bucket gets stuck halfway through the dirt b/c it is full and no longer affects the dirt. This is incorrect. My bucket should be able to power through that dirt and take out a chunk whilst dropping any extra in the process.

we have asked and asked for this to be addressed along with the voloume of dirt the bucket can catch.

Now with the big bug fixes out the way they may be able to start looking into this.

I hope so. It would greatly improve the digging aspect which is more than 60% of what you do in the game most of the time.
