PROCEDURAL MINING OPERATION · 03

mining explainer

A whole mine, generated from the ore body: the hole or the workings, the fleet that empties it, the plant that concentrates it, the dams that hold what is left, and everything that comes in and goes out.

The generator emits a renderer-agnostic node tree, plus the haul road centrelines an engine can drive its own traffic on. The web view is one consumer of it; Unity is the other.

| OPERATION SUMMARY |

| WHERE THE ROCK GOES |

Every tonne broken, and what happens to it. Almost all of it is waste — that is the point.

| MODULE MAP |

A block flow diagram of the chain as swappable modules — what each step is handed, what it must hand on, and which technologies fit the same slot.

| THE OPERATION, IN ORDER |

Every step a real mine needs, from the first drill hole to the released closure bond. Select one to fly to it.
