[h1]🏗️ Hello there, constructors[/h1] [hr][/hr] Welcome to the third part of our new series, in which we will tell you all about the most interesting, engaging and surprising features of [b]Demolish & Build 3.[/b] You can treat "Demolisher's Handbook" as an introduction to some of the game's mechanics, as well as a helpful guide full of [b]tips and tricks[/b]. And so, it's time to focus on one of the most important activities you will perform during your work as a demolisher and a constructor 🤓 As you know, our title emphasizes the most realistic and genuine simulation of tools, machines, the environment, and... [b]the soil.[/b] In a moment you will see how fun and engaging this seemingly simple element is, along with the numerous opportunities it offers.

Today, we're plunging our shovels, excavators, and buckets deep into the ground 🚜 to learn all about[b] Digging and Soil mechanics![/b] [h2]Everything you need to know about digging 👷[/h2] [hr][/hr] In the first part of the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1203670?emclan=103582791471701101&emgid=4327481798743462503]Demolisher's Handbook,[/url] we introduced you to the general physics you'll encounter in Demolish & Build 3, but we mentioned that the digging process is so complex and extended, that it requires a separate entry. You see, [b]every piece of ground[/b] you will set your foot on is carefully simulated and [b]behaves in an authentic, specific way.[/b] This may turn out to be a hindrance... or an opportunity to earn extra money. And this is just the beginning! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42179693/3efda908043db4a3de74a19c84c0f4c31ddad21d.gif[/img] With the use of mentioned shovels, excavators, buckets and other tools at your disposal, you can dig deep into the ground and, if you feel like it, form a large mound of soil 🏗️ Remember, that earth can be moved, leveled, excavated, relocated and... well, that's just up to your [b]imagination and invention! [/b] Just as with other activities in D&B3, there is never only one path to the goal, and the task itself can be completed in several different ways... [h3]And here are some of them:[/h3] [h3]🚧 Digging[/h3] [hr][/hr] It might seem like one of the simplest tasks, but digging involves a [b]variety of techniques[/b], each unique in its approach. Some assignments will require you to dig narrow, precise trenches, while others will call for large, deep excavations. Digging holes in a quick, efficient and safe (!) way is an art that every constructor must master, as it will often appear on his to-do list. Needless to say, each of them will [b]require different specialized equipment and planning[/b]. Will you be able to stay within the marked lines? Can you go deep enough and choose the right tools? ⬇️ Time will tell! [h3]🚧 Leveling and shoving[/h3] [hr][/hr] Due to the fact that the soil is carefully simulated, it is subject to [b]pushing, moving and leveling[/b]. For example, if there's a massive mound in your way, you can simply push it into a ditch with a bulldozer... if you reach the right speed and tilt the bucket at a right angle, of course! 🤔 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42179693/7d3f99b9625d1480d5a5d3bcc9a5f8fb893c62f2.gif[/img] This may be a useful skill in cases where a customer asks you to backfill an excavation. Shoving for sure will prove to be much more efficient than moving earth over the hole in [b]the traditional "scoop and pour" way.[/b] Soil can also be moved in other ways, such as with the side wall of a bucket mounted to a giant excavator... although this is cumbersome, it is doable 😅 Once again - it all depends on your needs and preferences. [h3]🚧 Mounding and piling up[/h3] [hr][/hr] The soil you pour out of the bucket will not magically dissolve upon contact with the ground, but instead will begin to form mounds. The same applies to shoving! If your client wishes so, you will need to [b]remove excess soil [/b]from the construction site or level it to a flat surface. It is worth remembering this before starting work in order to allocate the excavated soil wisely. The formation of sand hills and holes can be tricky, as you may fall into them or get stuck! ⚠️ On the other hand, smart vehicle operation will allow you to drive up such a hill and increase the reach of your excavator's arm. It is said, that an [b]experienced constructor sees opportunities where others see problems [/b]😁 We’re curious to see which one you’ll turn out to be! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42179693/830dcbe6f30953b0cee9400cf38fc8db6a9a6d00.gif[/img] Now you know that the digging and soil mechanics are definitely more extensive and addictive than it might seem at first glance. But don't worry, we're sure you'll [b]master all the digging-related skills[/b] in no time and prove that no job is beyond your capabilities. [b]Speaking of which...[/b] [h2]We are just 2 weeks away from the release 🤩[/h2] [hr][/hr] We can’t wait for September 11, when [b]D&B3 will be released on Steam[/b], and we hope you're as excited as we are! As always, we remain at your disposal on our [url=https://discord.gg/HqVqNRr9Uz]Discord server[/url], Social Media channels and Steam Discussions.
