THE OVERVIEW

About Groundwork Simulator

Groundwork Simulator turns a patch of terrain into a gold-mining worksite through excavation, transport and material processing. Players operate heavy machinery, drill to investigate deposits and connect pumps and hoses to a washing setup. Terrain changes as material is removed, so slopes, muddy routes and loaded trailers affect how a site is arranged. The operation can be managed alone or shared in online cooperation. This is an Early Access release: additional maps, vehicles and mod support are development plans rather than guaranteed included features. The developer warns that soil and water simulation can tax the CPU; the published hardware profiles do not establish measured performance on any particular machine.
