Dig it! A big excavator, dumper trucks and a very loud button
Scoop stone, topsoil and clay into the dumpers, and when the rock is too hard for the bucket, blast it.
Drag on the ground to swing the excavator's bucket about, and drag a long way off to trundle over on its tracks. Dig takes a scoop of whatever is loose; swing it over a dumper's bin and dump. Each driver wants stone, topsoil or clay, and the right stuff pays extra.
Bare grey rock is too hard to dig. Hit Blast, tap the rock to place your charges, then Fire!, and dig out the rubble and boulders it throws about. Blasting Bev insists on everyone standing well back.
Gold seams glint in the old faces, slate from deep down is worth a bit more, and there are fossils in the hill. The ground you dig stays dug, so the quarry slowly takes shape.
