Hello everyone and if you are all struggling on a piece of machinery, and can't perfect its functionality heres your guide to help! Guide to perfecting Bulldozing;
Tip; Long-Hold to see where you have to doze. You will be automatically stopped when at desired level.
So you all may know bulldozing 'can' be a pain in the butt, but there are 3 little tips&tricks that can very much help you all get those long passes complete without major spoil buildup and having to push at 1Km.
1. Don't try to do it in 1 pass, 2-3 is Avg., possibly 4 passes for a great finish product.
2. Don't forget to use your blade tilt.
Here is a quick picture definition of how to complete a lot with great success and at a fast pace and to decrease frustration while doing larger lots.
1. Blade Tilting for Pushing not Sculpting.
2. Lowering your blade to start dozing. ( use blade cutter line as reference.
Position1, Bottom of blade is just to say in the dirt.
Position2, Bottom of cutting edge is halfway in the dirt.
Position3-4, The cutting Edge is all the way in the dirt, or "just-to-say" lifted abit from lowered position.
Don't forget on your first passes of a doze, try and get your spoil pile as far back to the designated location for the dirt! Gives you more room to put dirt, you don't want to finish up, and realize the front of your spoil pile is in your 'dozing location' and it is RED, and have to cleanup there fast to Complete Task.
Hope these tips help you all become a successful dozer operator and lets you finish tasks quicker!
have an amazing day everyone  |

Guide to perfecting Excavation;Tip; Long-Hold to see where you have to doze. You will be automatically stopped when at desired level.
Some of you may be struggling with excavation, can't seem to find the right bucket angle, can't get full buckets, positioning, whatever it may be, here are some quick tips&tricks to help you successfully be a great Excavator operator! 1. Positioning is very helpful. 2. Don't forget to fully fill the bucket while doing excavation in an area. 3. Piling the Spoil. 1. Positioning is very simple, figure out what max extension is, position yourself so you can reach end of marked area, and proceed with digging, work your way back, or Side to Side to successfully complete your Task. Below is the Reverse Technique which is working your way back to the front of the marked area on site. Max extension/ can reach all the way to back of marked area.  Working your way back, remember to dig the whole way down before proceeding backwards. start scooping with your teeth and slowly curl your bucket. or have it flat on ground and drag backwards.  Just using left thumbstick to angle and scoop, no track movement. getting all of the back to Green.  Spoil Build up; I choose to put all material into the back of my trailer, and then long-hold 'sell' for 7,800Cr. Free money, so why not? if you don't. remember to pile it outside of yellow marker. far back enough so that it does not interfere with the Grid.  The Longhold Grid pattern tells you where you need to dig more. yellow meaning abit more, red alot and green meaning your golden!  And the most important thing of all; Grabbing a full bucket for maximum efficiency. saves you time in the long run! Wait for the green loader to fill before lifting and dumping, slow movements in the dirt help maximize scooping ability.

Guide to perfecting Front-End loading;Tip; Go slow for maximum bucket loads, and 3 point turns are the quickest method of loading!
Who here is having troubles loading with the front end loader!? Are you having trouble getting those full buckets?, is it the fact that your slow and know there is an alternate solution for speeding up the process? How about your just having troubles with Positioning... well here are some easy tips&tricks that will help you succeed and become a successful loader operator.
1. Positioning your dump truck/trailer correctly.
2. Positioning your loader
3. Full Buckets!
4. Dumping & 3-Point turns.
The best way to start off is to bring your trailer & loader on-site and drive along-side the spoil pile and park yourself roughly 1m away from the beginning of your spoil pile, you can choose to start closest or further from your trailer.
Lower your bucket down evenly and flat onto the ground. and then drive forward into the spoil pile (slowly) and once you get 3/4 the way through the pile, you'll have to slowly curl your bucket up to complete a bull bucket! Remember; full bucket is key.
Now, the most wondered is probably, what is the best way to 'unload' the bucket, and preferably the method I use is the 3-Point method.
I also use 3 fingers to control my operations, to make it all one fluent movement.
Position1; in dirt. Position2; Fully turned 'away' from trailer. Position3; Using index finger to lift and level bucket while turning the other direction(towards trailer) and driving up to it, DUMP COMPLETE
Hope these tips will help speed up your loader operation!

have an amazing day everyone Mike, I've tried several dozer jobs and I'm still struggling a bit. Can you re-explain the blade tilt? I've been thinking of it like a drag box and tilted down is for cutting or digging and tilted back is for pushing or filling but it doesn't seem to work like that. Also are the two dozers different? I like the cat high track, it's always been my desire to run one, but find myself more proficient with the Leberr |

Dumb question of the day..... How do you move the tower crane to a site. Every time I click on it to move it it says stationary machine not movable If there is a square plot of dirt that has white lines and an image of a crane on the ground, you'll be able to long press that spot and move it there. No need to pull it out of the vehicle hall either. Then to store it, just long press and click on the building icon. The Tower Crane is only avalible if that square is there. I'll make a video for players to reference in the "tips and tricks" part of this Forum. Great vids, check them out. 😉 |

I like the cat high track, it's always been my desire to run one, but find myself more proficient with the Leberr Oppisite. Tilt to the right, Top of it down. For Pushing/ Cutting. And Have it tilter flat to push completely and rarely cut. |
