Bulldozer gold rush the game

[Juice13th]

Is anyone else still getting stuck on the littlest mounts of dirt. The bulldozer is built like a tank. It should not get stuck. I was a combat Engineer for the Army. My job was running most of these and a few more equiptment in Afghanistan. The dozer doesnt work correctly and make life unbareable. Pls fix. Something else, when you dig the blade of the dozer in the ground its doesnt always push the dirt. main job of the dozer is level out the high spots and make them low. Is the dozer deletin pay or pushing it?

Yes. I also bought a bulldozer and was very upset. It turned out to be useless.

the problem is known since the opening of this game .. but does not interest the developers

The devs are always trying to improve the dozer (ignore the guy above he is on a trolling spree and walking a thin line).

They have adjusted how the dozer levels the ground under the tracks. I am sure the dozer will be looked into once again after the updates that are due.

The dozer is useful but takes some time to work out how to use correctly as you can infact level surfaces and even make ramps but like i said, it's not just a get in and wa-la it's done, you actually have to put some time into it to learn it.

Dozer is difficult, but with practice you can learn some techniques that help you avoid getting hung up on that pesky 1 ft tall spike of dirt ;)

You will also learn how to use it to create or destroy dirt matter when you want to.

I think there have been some small improvments to the dozer since I played last year. But it still has some serious problems. First one is dirt being created behind the blade. Second one is when angled up the ability to create massive piles of dirt. Coupling these two issues togeather generally creates a stuck dozer. And the third big issue is almost no down angle on the blade. And you could probably throw in geting stuck on mounds of dirt as one of the big issues.

But even with all of that as Pwnocchio has said. Once you figure it out. It becomes a tool. A tool your going to need for doing more then a couple holes on the claim. Its ability to smooth out the claim to allow you to quickly drive your equipment over it, Its ability to finalize ramps, its ability to clear off overburden. All of which the dozer does well and is needed on the claim. but as Pwnocchio has said, It does take skill to get used to its cababilities and faults.

Suggestion: before first climbing into a dozer start a separate playthrough on Easy mode (w. $1 option) to practise with the thing. I can't imagine the impact in terms of time & money spent on fuel & repairs learning to use the thing effectively on normal or hard mode. You don't have that luxury.

It use to be good if you watch some old videos of the game the dozer would plow through dirt like nothing was amazing now with it updated the dozer is so difficult to use.

The dirt creating behind the blade is VERY annoying and i as well as others have pointed this out many times. They are working on the pressure system atm and trying to complete the road map so hopefully we will see it fixed at some point.

There are so many bugs and problems with more then just the dozer. Machines not working right i.e. the dozer still. It actually plows the dirt worse then before. Tried leaderboards and had more problems with each aspect of the game it was insane. Tried to fix a moblie wash plant, it would not let me put the part that was broken. Wash plant was then useless which made playing useless. Had literally had more repairs then I made from gold. And yes I have been playing this game since it came out. I was a heavy equipment operator so yeah this game is bugged out and not developed. Devs don't care, I read it in a post they wrote. They just wanted to make a quick buck off the shows idea.
Sad cause this could be a really good game. Its unfinished and should not even be in beta yet.
