🧵 Digging sim
Anonymous at Fri, 19 Jan 2024 02:12:16 UTC No. 971042
I've looked into this in the past but it's been a couple years - is there an efficient way to simulate the digging of soil in any of the current game engines? I want to make a game that's basically just this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eee
All the actual digging in any farming or construction simulator I can find looks like ass. Surely in 2024 there's a better way?

That's because the jannies aren't being paid enough.

voxel engines could do this but they aren't very advanced yet

Unreal Chaos probably is up to it with the caveat that it has to pre-calculate the geometry.

Apply it to a terrain mesh and make the shovel a mesh collision actor.

Doesn't really answer your question, but I've done that in space engineers. I've built fully functioning diggers and quarry excavators in it that work more or less true to life. Aside from the inherent jank of making big ass shit move in that game.

you can fake it with parrallax textures and shaders
