Its time to hit the gold mine and have a play with the really big gear. Big loaders, big trucks, excavators, its like a big kids sandpit! The most important part though, can we find some gold, and can we make some good money from it?

Use the intersection node for that narrow area. Right click on rec. That will make it so one truck will wait for the other one to get by.

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thank you, have just had a play around with that and worked perfectly, had no idea it would work that way! appreciate the suggestion!

[@billfromkcmo1]

Thanks. Learned something today

[@TheRiddick82]

Is this the autodrive mod or courseplay?

[@billfromkcmo1]

Tried this last night. Was a lot of fun especially becouse of the cool equipment . Found it easier to to the taraform on smoothing, It picks fill up faster. Thanks for the great video gonna do the gravel pit tonight maybe

[@ArgsyGaming]

Glad to hear you are enjoying it, adds a whole new dimension to FS!

[@oblivionnokk3531]

I love how they make diffrence between solid mass and loose mass when it comes to filling the wheeloader bucket, aswell as the lift while pushing forth increases speed, good realism.

[@ArgsyGaming]

I agree, although the weight on the wheel loader looks like it's the wrong way around

[@oblivionnokk3531]

@@ArgsyGaming I do not think so, they are supposed to slant upwards for when you stack up hills, they slant so the but does not set itself in the ground, if the hill is steep enough. Slanting downwards has no effect as you do not really need aerodynamics in a machine that most of its time does not drive over 30km/h, ofc top speed is higher, but for when it works, it rarely goes faster. Even the rock truck I drive at work only extends that if I floor it on a straight path.

[@pilot9122]

When I put in a ramp sometimes I put 2 side by side and it seems to work great! No issue on backing up! Love the videos keep them coming especially the mining!

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thanks for the suggestion, I upgraded to a wider ramp which worked well, check out the next episode :)

[@dasch_modding3981]

Great episode! You’ve got your gold yard setup same as mine with the elk mountain shed. I put in some concrete tiles to park the big dumpers on next to it with some grass between etc. I’m using the giant cat dump truck with the hitachi ex8000, and yeah, the road with auto drive is TIGHT! Try setting your terrafarm flatten settings to 200% on each to get it to fill faster. Works for me with the excavator. FYI, There is an update today on the truck that supposedly fixes the trailer walk and I had same issue with the triggers in the gold wash. I had to go in GE and expand and reposition them. Works great now and added a light inside for 24/7 operation. I’ve killed half that pile in pit. Getting worried I’m gonna run out too soon! Lol. 👍

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thanks mate, good suggestion on the terrafarm strength as well. Have got that update, will be checking it out in the next episode to see if it is fixed :)

[@kedrshr1mp6]

grab a dozer and go deeper

[@danielcochran1839]

Try using a dozer on top of the pile to terraform it to dirt. Push it over the top. Doing that makes it load a lot quicker.

[@ddSqueeze]

$37k for 1k liters of gold?!? I hate to break it to ya mate, but that pawn shop ripped you off. That gold should have netted you about $1.2 billion. My immerrrrsionnnn! Great content anyway

[@ArgsyGaming]

I must admit it does grate me just a bit that it is so disproportionate, but guess thats just the way we have to deal with it!

[@hawkeye9529]

I found with the tailings you can also run them through the crusher and turn them to gravel.

[@ArgsyGaming]

oh, nice suggestion, will give that a go!

[@Oldcranky1]

Argsy Rulz, Great episode Argsy, I had the same problem with the Lizard (CAT) dumper. Doesn't like reversing.

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thanks mate, yeah seems a nice truck but really didn't like that which is unfortunate

[@v8steefv8]

As always awesome video argsy! Because of this i installed the map and started playing. Only thing is, with like 8K on concentrate in the washplant, no pallets are spawning with that concentrate. I have the production set to store so should be spawning. Maybe you can point me in a direction why those pallets are not showing up? Thnx for the content!

[@ArgsyGaming]

Sorry for the late reply, I've heard that the terrain around the wash plant might be a bit high for pallets to spawn, try lowering it in the spawn point and see if that helps

[@v8steefv8]

@@ArgsyGaming it was a mod conflict. I was also using the rgc washplant in my mods. And that made the washplant im the map spawn buckets. So its al sorted now. And no problem, i know you are busy maken awesome content

[@birlyballop4704]

Gold, gravel and (somewhere) greenhouse agri. AUsome, Argsy. Though a silver (Ag) mine would be more mellifluous. Ta. I'll just get my bunnet...

[@ArgsyGaming]

Haha, nice one - indeed some AG mining would have been much more appropriate!

[@steffenelvebakk691]

Watch out for jebb when you are working in the gold mine!

[@ArgsyGaming]

thanks for the warning, think he's not going to be a problem any more though!

[@brandonmartin2188]

that would have been close to $100,000 worth of gold wish they would make it more realistic

[@ArgsyGaming]

Yeah, seems to be a tough balance of reward v effort for the gold, still don't think anyone had got it quite right yet

[@Tronic416]

Actually just over a million. 1000 L of gold is 19 kg at a price of over 5k/kg. But yeah you totally got ripped off.

[@thekrlegion1803]

Huge shout out to Carver for the T900 Truck mod

[@deanlockyer2440]

Such a cool truck

[@ArgsyGaming]

Absolutely, that T900 is such a good looking truck!

[@262chevyguy]

Where do you find the auto drive mod? I cannot find it for the life of me and would make this job much easier

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

But just don't tell your tax collector what you're doing here... 😉 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@ArgsyGaming]

Taxes, what are they!

[@cubacanagaming5887]

i c you d use the ramp as i subject you to make easy the dump off gravel

[@ArgsyGaming]

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion!

[@MarkThor_11]

Great video Args

[@ArgsyGaming]

thanks mate!

[@braydenprout2184]

Great video 👍.

[@ArgsyGaming]

Cheers bud!

[@brock9119]

What gold washer plant mod do you use here? I had one either from TCBO MCE or elk mountain but whenever I try to place it, it does it’s own earth works and drops the ground down by about a metre and then the whole plants sits above the ground level and I can load it with diesel unless I lift the ground up

[@ArgsyGaming]

This is the one already placed on the map. I have used it again though and takes some practice to set up properly but is possible

[@brock9119]

@@ArgsyGaming thanks for the reply Argsy, any tips on how to place it properly? I can’t for the life of me figure it out.

[@brock9119]

Redownloaded elk mountain and it the same set up as yours, pre placed wash plant, however only has 100k capacity

[@nitroscot113]

try the ramp from Modular bga bud😉

[@ArgsyGaming]

Thanks mate, will check it out!

[@tommyboypdxgamer8795]

how do you get the multiple cargos to dump and fill with auto drive been looking for a video on that no one has done a video for using multiple trailers or like the belly dump my drivers always stop and only deliver the first compartment

[@ArgsyGaming]

I don't do anything special, just need to make sure that the label is far enough past the tip trigger that it will drive on after finding the first dump compartment.

[@robjen78]

How about automating loading the dirt?

[@ArgsyGaming]

If I can figure out a way to do it I will, not sure if Courseplay or Autodrive have that ability yet

[@thekrlegion1803]

👍

[@ArgsyGaming]

thanks bud

[@tobythefox6631]

Wish this was on console

[@ArgsyGaming]

There are some maps for console with some gravel quarries which could give you some similar opportunites, still not the quite the same though.

[@ElBo117]

Damn man a kiwi? North or South Island mate?

[@ArgsyGaming]

wow, missed this comment, sorry! North Island - Mighty Manawatu local

[@ElBo117]

@ArgsyGaming all good man! From the south myself

[@lecrazymonkey1510]

hey man, not sure if youll be able to answer this question but i tried using the hitachi with the terraform mod and it would not work, would you know why that is? Also, my terraform only shows up in the f1 menu, not the top right, is there a way to change that

[@ArgsyGaming]

make sure you have version 4.0 of Terrafarm - this was released via FS Miners You Tube channel, go have a look on there and find the video he released it with

[@lecrazymonkey1510]

@@ArgsyGaming thanks so much man, one last question if you dont mind. Where did you find those dump trucks and pups. Really like them but can not seem to find them. Also shout out to you and FSG for reviving life into me for wanting to play Fs22 again :)
