Introduction
Out of Ore
A simple but cool mining game with heavy equipment.



Originally posted by NorthModdingCompany (Game Dev):
A casual heavy equipment experience that is a "Work in progress" and developed by a solo dev / equipment operator

You are sent out to the most northen base "Company Mining Corp" has,
and its up to you to prospect for ore, mine it and sell it to earn a profit.

Build roads, bridges and tunnels to connect the base to other bases
Take risk by getting big loans to buy equipment and tools

The building system allows you to build pretty much anything you want
or use the vehicles and equipment to demolish it.

All machines can be painted and outfitted with all kinds of lights and stuff

Entire world is terraformable so you can
knock down trees and move dirt all day long,

The machines and support both ISO and SAE controls
and the game supports both Joysticks and Wheels

Controls
To see the controls and all you have to know from how to use each vehicles or tool you can go to the control setup in the menu that you can custom as you wan't (be carefull of conflicts if two controls are the same).

[FR] Pour voir les différentes commandes pour chaque véhicules et outils, vous pouvez les regarder précisément dans le menu "controls" dans le menu principale ou dans le menu echap que vous pouvez customiser comme vous le voulez.

If you have some joysticks you can see the tutorial made by just diggin INC.

[FR] si vous jouez aux joysticks je vous invite à voir ce tutoriel fait par just diggin INC


Claviers AZERTY

La communauté française et belge (à ce que j'ai compris) travail principalement avec un clavier AZERTY contrairement au reste du monde et cela entraîne un besoin de recalibrer les commandes d'origines.
Regardez chaque ligne des contrôles pour être sûr de remplacer les touches suivantes que vous trouvez lorsque vous avez les "default controls" afin d'éviter les conflits de commandes (il y en a) pour avoir les contrôles vanilla :
  • Q par un A
  • W par Z
  • A par Q
  • Z par W

exemple de conflit qu'on voit pas au premier regard d'où le fait de bien regarder chaque commande.
Map and Geology - Carte et Géologie
You begin the game at the center of a 400 km² map where you can go and dig wherever you want. Just be carefull of the end of the map.

The floor is made of 3 strat :

1 the dirt strat of 6 meters
2 the pay dirt strat of 20 meters
3 the rock strat that go to the infinite.


this is the same at the tof of a mountain that at the lower you can reach.


the difference (white on top of the mountain and the grey in the hole) are made by the grass that will be erase with explosives (snow will act like grass without trees and rocks that wont respawn in these aera)

Ore Veins

You can see where ore is on the map with the darkness of grass up to the vein.

To see witch ore type you have under the dark grass you can use any vehicles like loader, dozer, excavator and the drill to see what's under the grass (bulk dirt off advised) or you can erase dirt with an explosive.
The faster ways to prospect are explosives, drill, loader and dozer. For the moment i don't advice to use the excavator to prospect (for the moment the bucket will just move the dirt and you won't be able to dig the ore quickly)

Top mountain

It's more difficult to see the darkness at the top of the mountain (due to shadow and textures). i think that blow up the top with a nuke will be faster to prospect than the other ways.

The ore veins that you will find are made from the top to the infinit of the ground (for the moment) and there is no differents ore than coal and Lithium/bauxite for the moment.
Vehicles
Vehicles are the main thing in the game. Each vehicle type has it´s role in your mine so this part of the guide aims to guide you choosing what to buy and why.

PRICES : The price of vehicles is random made between two limits (min and max). It change every time you open the shop and it's why in description you have the min, max and Med (median) data to see if you buy it at the best price.



Vehicle Customization:
Vehicles can be customized. From Lights, Wheels/Tracks and Coulors, all this items can be changed to your liking. To get them you need to buy them from the shop (We will talk about the shop later on).


Vehicle Maintenance:
Vehicles can be Maintained. From Filters to oil, this items need to be replaced, in order to keep your vehicles running (Feature not yet implemented). To get them you need to also buy them from the shop.


Note: Since the game, at the moment, is basically a semi-sandbox, the vehicle general choice is to go BIG!

Brands
  • Arkiv - Volvo
  • Chariton - CAT
  • Legau - Liebherr
  • Sandvik - Scania

Dirt Bulk on or off ?

This setting that you can change in the setting menu will change how you will dig. (Don't forget to save before resume game)
In Bulk off when you'll dig you will have small voxels that can burn your cpu if they are too much it's why you can press V (in vanilla controls) to lock dirt in vehicles witch will stop physics of blocks and keep them into your dump or your buckets (don't work in bulk on). In bulk off you can outpass the capacity of truck and loaders (depend of your skills).

In Bulk on it will be more arcade to dig, lower cpu demands and more precise for weight. It will also be easier to travel in bulk on But be careful : adding ore in a full truck in bulk off will just make disapear the ore you add in.

Just choose witch mod you prefer for each vehicles, some times bulk off will be better than bulk on.

Tools and Trailers - Outils et Remorques -
Tools are made for the no-bucket' excavators.

There is 3 size of tools : EXS (Small) EXM (Medium) EXB (Big) that can be attached by going into the attach menu of the vehicles.


Buckets and Rippers

The tools' prices are the same in each size of buckets and ripper. Capacity are made with Dirt Bulk setting' ON. Like for every price the price is random and change every time you open the vehicle store. It will be between min and max with a median (Med) to see if it's a cheap or a costly price you've got.

EXB tools


Price : min 31 000 - max 35 000 - Med 33 000 $

Capacity :
  • EXB Teeth bucket : 4 T
  • EXB Trench Bucket : 3 T
EXM tools


Price : min 27 000 - max 30 000 - Med 28 500 $

Trailer is use to add capacity to trucks.
  • Price :min 72 000 - max 80 000 - Med 76 000 $
  • Capacity : 24T
They can be attach only to the vehicles who have a red coupling back to the vehicles.
Maybe we will be able to transport some tools with them in the futur but for the moment this strat is hard with collisions and no physic' lock for objects.
For the moment you won't be able to drop from the trailer with another vehicle than the T700

here are all the vehicles able to attach a trailer

Hammers

Hammers can, like rippers, transform grass into dirt and stop respawing of threes, bushes and rocks but they are more used to transform rock that can't be dug by loaders and excavators into blasted rock that can be dug and sold or transformed in the refining plant.


Prices : (a little mistake make the EXS and EXM price inverted, it will be corrected in futur update)
EXS : min 180 000 - max 200 000 - Med 190 000 $

Explosives - Explosifs
Explosives are used to erase grass transform rock into blasted rock and dig into the floor.
To use them you need a detonator (you can use only on or different's ones it's just the "on button" for explosives).
The explosives will detonate in serial if you place 100 explosives they will blow one by one until all are blown.
Having an explosive in your hands during this time will make it blow direclty that can be use to dig faster tunnels with draemite).
BE CAREFULL that the demolition mod isn't "on" when you use explosives it will blow the constructions when it's "on"

the differences between type (ANFO, TNT...) will be utility :
ANFO, TNT, Dynamex and RDX will erase grass and transform rock into blasted rock.
Draemite will dig a hole
Plowshare (nuke) will erase a large grass land and dig a large hole

  • ANFO
    Price : min 1 500 - max 6 000 - Med 3750 $
    Radius : 3 Squares (6m)

Each nuke has to be detonate separately (if you place 3 nukes you have to detonate 3 times).

Making a Road
(work in progress)

Waiting for the asphalt road coming in futur this is a little tutorial i made for tipsing those who wants.
I'm not the best in roads creations in Out Of Ore but i want to share my experience and tips so always remember that YOUR road is the best road because you made it. This is just some tips you can at each step of this tutorial just stop and saying "this is a good road".
If you have better ideas please share them in comment and i will be glad to add them into this guide :)

Thanks a lot to The-Bada$$ alias MissTitanK3 that helped begining this tutorial with his plans.

Why making roads
When you try to travel through the map you will quickly see that even the biggest off road truck can be stuck by holes, trees and rocks. This is anoying and can be worse with others slowers vehicles (excavators for example) and very difficult with small trucks like the T700 fuel that wont be able to refuel your vehicles when your are 5 km away (that's very far in-game).
So let's build a road.

1 Know where you go

The first step is to know where you are going.
For this tutorial i want to dig the big ore vein near the radio station and complete the fuel delivery quest.
So I want the flattest and smoother road where vehicles won't fall and be able to go at V-max most of time.

2 Recognition and waypoints

So on foot i will go from the begining to the end to place waypoint in the best way i see (the witch ones with the less work to do next). Mistakes at this point will add some work later and improve your skill like it improved mine.

An other strat you can use is taking a dozer and do recognition with it and let a mark on the grass by erasing it with the ripper.

3 Blow up the nature (or not)

This next step is costly so you can pass it if you don't have money or if you don't want and begining the dozer' job directly (Just be sure that grass have been erased by a ripper or a hammer larger enought for the blade of the dozer).
Place explosives through the road you will do and detonate all (don't forget to control if all the way is clear (sometime explosives can be forgot).
It will erase all nature (if thers is no bugs) and show the geology strat of the land.

4 Long Dozer job

This part is maybe the most anoying one and the longest but it's the most important ; it will place the base of the road.
To do a flat road (or anything else flat) you can be helped by the gps that will show you if the blade is up or down and strait or not to the base you setup.
To do this place your dozer at the place you wish with the blade strait and go to the vehicle menu with A and click on ZERO

What's long is that you need to do small back and forth with the dozer until you have the road flat and strait as you want it to be.

Some times the slope is to hight to go with the dozer so you can use a loader or an excavator to dig it and continue with the dozer.
To help moving or placing dirt with loader or truck just on the road and not on all the land you can use walls to make something like a formwork. The dirt wont go in all directions.
You can also use Draemite to dig a trench in the slope.
To have the trench at the same level than road you can use squares to help you placing them on the ground.
Draemite blow radius is 1,75 square so place on at the road level and go 2 squares up to he slop to see the geology strat where you will place the Draemite.
Then you continue throught the trench

At the end of hours of doing this job you will see that you have something good for a road. You can just spaming left button to smooth ground wile walking on the road or continue with the grader and compactor' job.

5 Grader job

The grader will be used exactly like the dozer but won't dig dirt like dozer.
It will smooth medium lumps and wont be a lot necessary if the last job has been done well.

Before grader with a short dozer job :
After grader
You can see that grader will be very usefull if dozer is used shortly but there will still be holes on the road.
When you think the road is good enought continue with the next step.

6 Compactor job

The compactor will smooth the little and medium lumps 1 or 2 crossing will be enought to smooth the road.
Before :
After :

Note :
If you want, you can blow up grass and directly smooth the ground with the compactor.
But at the moment a bug make the compactor transforming dirt corners into grass so trees, bushes and rocks can respawn.

If grass still on the road at a moment you can use a ripper to erase it. (excavator' ripper more precise than dozer' ripper)
Use the compactor or your hand to smooth next (you may have to repeat this operation 2 or 3 times if grass respawn when smoothing)

My issue is multiplayer. Other players can't progress three selling coal, or other ore unless done through inventory. So can't bulk dump. And also, can't pay contractor either? MP needs help

I dont have all those machines ... The legau machines arent in my game and neither is the trailer ... Also Ive seen some players get their benches nice and even with nice haul ramps ... Mine looks like it was bombarded lol ... even after using the roller it still looks very bumpy and uneven ?

Just sell ore and you will eventually level up

This game is lacking so much in instruction. Like how to get any pay dirt of any kind out of the plant.
