The Nugget Update: excavators, piles and trucks

Buckets and dumping

• A full bucket stays full while you curl, lift and slew. Before, the EX30 lost almost half a cubic metre off the top.
• A full tip means an empty bucket: on every excavator and loader, a full dump empties the bucket completely, onto the ground and into trucks.
• Trucks tip their whole load again. Since the last hotfix the CT01 got stuck after a few cubic metres.
• The EX30 dumps again with the boom fully raised. Before, it silently refused.
• The CE02 front loader no longer lifts its bucket over the cab.

Soil, piles and ramps

• The wash plant no longer stops with a false "rear outlet full" while there is hardly anything at the outlet. It only stops once the pile really reaches the belt.
• Soil piled around the wash plant no longer blocks its control boxes and hose connections. Shovelling it away frees everything again, and hopper overflow now spills away from the fittings.
• Dumped soil builds drivable ramps again. Piles settle at a slightly flatter, natural angle for that.
• Soil piles are now stored as one pile instead of hundreds of single clods. Old saves are tidied up on load, with soil, gold and finds kept exactly. The game no longer slows down after many hours of digging.

Smoother

• Trucks touching a parked excavator no longer bring the game almost to a standstill, and trucks can drive out from under an excavator arm.
• A wheel loader holding its raised bucket over a truck no longer makes the game crawl.
• Dumping from buckets and truck beds costs much less time, also with full trucks.
• Excavators drive over fresh piles and through pits without stutter.
• Digging and dumping hitch much less, especially next to big piles.
