Dirt Digger is out now in early access. Buy the game here: https://www.zirtola.com
Two weeks after launch the yard has filled up: a 75 ton mass excavator, a 36 ton and an 8 ton, 25 and 40 ton articulated dump trucks, a 1960s farm tractor with a pull-behind road grader, a 12 ton padfoot compactor, conveyor lines, a 250 ton an hour screen plant, a small power sluice, and a shovel, wheelbarrow, sluice box and gold pan for doing it by hand. Here's every one of them. Then the back half: everything that fought us along the way, from a truck that wouldn't move to a grader that sank six metres into the ground.
Most of the new machines are demo machines for now: spawn them in free from the pause menu (Demo Vehicles) and drive them. It's early access, so it isn't finished: expect bugs, rough edges and a lot more to come. Bug reports and ideas go on the forum at https://www.zirtola.com
