Recommended Because :
- Game is not polished, but the community is solid
- If you're into heavy equiptment and create big pit, this is your game.
- Fun for mining nerd

As splitintwo mentioned, this game successfully fulfills my imagination regarding heavy equipment and mining, whether it's surface mining or underground mining. I'm a Drill & Blast Engineer from Geology Background, so many of the heavy equipment activities I do are new and broaden my knowledge of mining. However, there are a few things I feel are missing from this game, including:

• Resources Estimate (not really needed, but appreciated if added into the game)
Dig things up mindlessly is Ok, but As geology graduate, i think it is important to have feature that allowed you to estimate resources and know the spatial positions of that resources. This one should connect to the next point.

• Mine Planning (not really important, atleast in the short term)
It is okay of i do not know the total resources worth, but it is important that i know : how deep the mine is going to be, how many volume that going to be removed, and what is the crest, bench, and toe position. What do we need to achieve this? next point is the answer...

• Advanced Surveying (Urgently Needed)
As of May'26, survey only covers RTK Rover slapped into heavy equiptment, it's measure your X, Y, Z, and your bucket/blade orientation. Current surveying feature also include the ability to cut to the RL (well, you have to cut it first). What i think is : You can hold that RTK Rover, and measure that position by yourself (not with heavy equipment), you can also mark that position let say you want to mark the Bench 280 that you can mark it and it shows on your map. I also noticed some issue when you measured your elevation using Dozer, Bucket Wheel, and big excavator because that will give you 3 separate result.

• Automated Hauling
Well, this one is self explanatory. I want to create hauling automation from loading front all the way up to Dump point.
