Mining
Using the mining designation tool, you can select an area that should be excavated. The designated area has to be within a Mine Control Tower operation area, although this area can be modified, and selected anywhere in your colony.
Dumping
You can select a zone where the trucks will automatically dump materials. This way the player can build ramps to reach areas with different elevation without needing to dig out the ramp, and at the same time, the materials can be dumped into the ocean, thus increasing the building area, allowing building of ports on uneven coast, or digging out materials on the beach that are below the sea level. It is also possible to dump specific materials to a specific area by instructing the Mine Control Tower to allow the various materials to be dumped.
It should be noted though that ports need to be placed on ground at least +2 sea level.
Tree Harvesting
You can define which trees can be harvested by the Tree Harvester using the left mouse button, and deselect them with the right mouse button. The harvester will start harvesting trees that are closest to it. You need to assign a transport to the harvester, like a Pickup, so that it can dump the cargo somewhere, the same way as with the diggers.
