Gary the Site Foreman has work for you. This build turns the one-off landslide into three repeatable jobs anyone can take at any time, including players who join a server late, and gives your hauling proper feedback.
Jobs from Gary
- Talk to Gary to open the job board. Pick a job to read what it needs, then accept it. A marker leads you there and fills as you make progress.
- Landslide Clearance (150 XP). Dig out the landslide completely. As soon as it is gone, a new one comes down somewhere else in the yard, so there is always one to clear.
- Dirt Delivery (60 XP). Tip 20 chunks of dug dirt into the dirt bays by the small building in the east compound. There are bays on both sides, each marked on the ground.
- Dirt Refining (60 XP). Feed 20 chunks into the shredder. They bounce on the teeth, turn red and drop through, and each one that makes it through counts.
- Work together. Every chunk anyone delivers or refines counts for everyone doing that job.
- Finishing a job plays the Contract Complete celebration and pays the bonus XP. Take the same job again or pick another.
- One job at a time. Taking a new job replaces the old one.
Dirt goes somewhere now
- Delivered dirt piles up in the bays as real terrain you can dig again. Dirt dug back out of the bays does not count a second time.
- Refined dirt stays on the ground under the shredder, so a dump truck can collect it and take it to the bays for a second payout.
Landslide and road barrier
- The landslide no longer blocks the road barrier.
- The barrier opens for good the first time anyone clears a landslide on the server.
Feedback when you haul
- Loading the dump truck from the excavator now pays XP. Before, it only worked for whoever the server thought was loading.
- Dirt chunks flash white and show a floating +XP when they settle in a truck bed, a bay or the shredder.
- The XP bar updates while you are in the excavator. It used to wait until you got out.
- XP sounds are quieter and no longer stack up into one loud blast.
Menus
- Gamepad works in Gary's window: up and down with the left stick or the D-pad, A to open a job, B to go back or close. The mouse works as well, and rows light up when you hover over them.
- You can no longer get stuck in the job window.
- Debug text no longer appears on screen when you earn XP.
Please try
- Take each of Gary's three jobs and finish at least one.
- With a friend on the same job, check that both of your counts go up.
- Load a truck with the excavator, drive it to the bays and tip it. Then dig the pile back up.
- Run the shredder until chunks drop through, then take them to the bays.
- Join a server late and check the landslide and your jobs work for you too.
- Use a gamepad in Gary's window.
Known
- A new landslide can appear under a vehicle parked in the yard.
- Dig chunks can still sit in slightly different places for different players.
- On a poor connection the white flash on a chunk can occasionally be missed. The XP always arrives.
