Update: smoother, tank trailer, site containers and heli deliveries

Smoother

• Digging by hand without hitches: each shovel throw onto the spoil heap now takes only a few milliseconds instead of a noticeable pause.
• Much smoother camp: batteries and solar panels rebuilt, the camp now runs several times faster.
• Fewer hitches when landmarks appear, during autosave, near the river and when driving into a new town.
• Distant view without pop-in: continuous terrain to the horizon with heat haze, and approaching land blends in smoothly.

New

• Tank trailer (1,000 L) for diesel, petrol or water: fill it at the pump or a tap, then use the nozzle to fill excavators, vehicles, generators and tanks.
• Site container (500 kg) at the airstrip: pack a wash plant, pumps and tools and fly it to a new claim under the helicopter. The big storage container at camp can now be opened and filled too.
• Radio: fuel and medical help arrive by helicopter in a parachute crate.
• Overflow pipes between the settling ponds are now properly buried in the dam, with a shovel or an excavator.

Big plant and camp

• The diesel skid and generators start reliably. Every device has the same control box with a status lamp (green running, red off, amber waiting, blinking fault), and diesel units smoke while running.
• The conveyor is rebuilt and tells you why it is not moving material.
• Newly modelled: detector charging station, fridge, workbench, water tank, radio mast, display case and the big plant's feed hopper.

Controls and fixes

• Helicopter: keyboard controls like the plane, WASD to fly and Shift/Ctrl to climb and descend.
• At a ready cook pot, RT or left click eats the portion straight away.
• A new game without the tutorial starts with the gold pan and bucket again.
• At the vehicle dealer the vehicles are at the top of the list.
• Many devices now reliably respond to the key shown: the big plant's mats, the caravan worklights, the fuel can racks, cancelling a radio call. Where something can't be done, the game now tells you why.
• Late in the game you can buy fuel cans, spare parts and supplies again even when a lot is lying around camp.
