Gameplay

From dig to dump, every scoop counts

One load, start to finish. The dirt you lift is the dirt you carry: it's never created or destroyed on the way.
  1. Dig in

    The bucket bites and the ground gives.

  2. Lift it out

    Terrain comes away by the bucketful.

  3. Load the truck

    Sand heaps and settles in the bed.

  4. Haul it

    Trucks drive the load across the island.

  5. Dump it

    Tip at your marker and watch it pour.

  6. It stays

    The pile is still there when you come back.

Play the whole sequence. Captured in-game from a development build.

How much assistance?

Easy enough for kids, deep enough for operators. Pick how much the game helps you. You can change these settings anytime.

    The most help

    Heavy

    Gentle, slower controls. The machine plans your scoops and loads the truck for you.

  2. Medium level character

    Relaxed play

    Medium

    Click to scoop, click again to dump. The trucks drive themselves. You aim over the truck.

  3. Light level character

    A little help

    Light

    You drive the trucks. The camera follows your dump. You run the dozer blade.

  4. None level character

    Experienced players

    None

    Full control of boom, stick and bucket. No help.

Custom

Pick which helps are on and which are off.

Found treasures

You never know what's underground

Digging isn't only about moving dirt. Hidden objects, forgotten toys, old tools and unusual discoveries can become part of your collection.
The Discovery Found card for a sea shell, seen from the excavator cab

39 finds to collect, from common shells to legendary treasure. Rarer finds are buried deeper. Every find is earned by digging. Nothing is bought, and finds have no real-world value.

A sample collection. Select a find to see its details, the way the in-game Discoveries tab shows them.
