Dirt Excavator

Dirt Excavator is a powered building in Timberborn. It occupies a footprint and vertical space that require careful placement and sometimes demolition of existing structures before construction. The entrance for the Dirt Excavator sits one level higher than its ground level, which affects pathing and access for workers.

The Dirt Excavator is 6x5 units in footprint and 3 units high, with some empty spaces within that volume; its active excavator blade covers a 5x5 area directly beneath the machine. Game placement rules prohibit any existing building from being underneath the 5x5 excavator blade, so any constructions in that area must be demolished before the site is cleared for placement.

• Placement: the machine requires a cleared 5x5 blade area and the entrance is one level above its ground level, so plan terrain and walkways accordingly.
• Footprint and clearance: overall dimensions are 6x5 units and 3 units tall, with internal empty areas; ensure no conflicting buildings occupy the blade area prior to construction.
• Construction chain: the game groups the Dirt Excavator within powered building construction chains (details of prerequisites may vary by version and game mode).
• History and balance changes: introduced in Update 2; in Update 5 it became available to non-bot players and began consuming Extract; Update 7 removed the Extract consumption; an earlier change labeled Version 1 reduced production from 6 Dirt to 4 Dirt.
