Dozing Updates
  • You can now use dozers to push gravel and sand without losing material.
  • The resistance of the soil is now simulated. The dozer will slow down depending on the amount being pushed. The CAT D8T can push the most soil at once but lacks the ability to yaw the blade.
  • Depending on the selected job scope it is more challenging to flatten areas with the dozer.
