This is the first build of my excavator game. It could stand up and swing around, and that was about it. I save a copy every time something starts working, so I went back and loaded all 55 builds in order, from an excavator alone on a flat slab to a full job site with a truck, a dozer and a loader all working the same dirt.
Along the way: clods the size of cars, a 118 ft tower of mud, a truck launched by a sapling, a loader that flipped at 87 mph, and over ten thousand grains of sand in the air at once.
