WELCOME TO GROUNDWORK SIMULATOR
Groundwork Simulator puts you behind the controls of heavy machinery, with a landscape to reshape and gold to uncover. Dig into the hillside, haul material across your site and set up the equipment that turns a bucket of dirt into your next gold recovery. Work at your own pace or share the job with friends.
EVERY BUCKET CHANGES THE LANDSCAPE
Dig trenches, cut into hillsides and build up piles as you shape your worksite. Every scoop changes the ground you work on, creating new routes, steeper slopes and fresh challenges. Plan your approach, the ground you leave behind becomes the foundation for your next job.
REALISTIC PHYSICS
Dig with a realistic excavation engine and simulated hydraulic feedback that brings resistance to every scoop. Feel your machine respond as the bucket meets the ground and material builds up inside it. Adjust your angle and work with the available hydraulic power to cut through the terrain, fill your bucket and lift the load.
FROM DIRT TO GOLD
Explore the land in search of gold-rich ground. Drill and test for deposits, choose your digging spot and set up your wash plant. Excavate promising material, wash it through the sluice boxes and process the concentrate on the shaking table, from your first test hole to your next gold recovery.
WORK SOLO OR SHARE THE SITE
Run the operation yourself or divide the work in online co-op. Take the excavator while a friend handles transport, or keep material moving together between the digging area and the wash plant. Coordinate your machines and turn a patch of untouched ground into a busy worksite.
WATER SYSTEM
Bring water to your washing operation with pumps and hoses. Position your equipment, route your connections across the site and get water flowing where it’s needed. As your worksite grows, adapt your setup to keep the washing operation supplied.
TRANSPORT
Load your heavy machinery onto a trailer and haul it by truck to your next worksite. Line up for loading, plan your route and navigate tight turns, slopes and rough terrain with a heavy load behind you. Unload your equipment where you need it and get to work.
FIGHT THE TERRAIN
Mud, slopes and rough ground make every route a decision. Watch your traction, choose your approach and take care with a heavy load. Sometimes the next job is improving the ground beneath your wheels before you can get back to digging.
