      I never expected to find the idea of a game based on finding utilities underground to be exciting but you did it. I’m in.

      A few things to remember to add:

      1. False positives
      2. Abandoned utilities
      3. Utility maps and GPS coords that were never made, were never updated, or are flat out wrong
      4. Contractors who will make every excuse and lie about what happened
      5. Random people asking if your digging for gold and worried if you’re going to tear up their lawn

      Lmao this is hilarious. You could also throw in kids from the neighborhood stealing the little red flags 🚩 that are left in the ground for marking digs

      This is a genuinely great idea. I’ve been playing Dave the Diver and I can see this having a similar level of management, slowly introducing you to the new roles - first you’re just marking, and over time you’re managing more and more of the whole process and earning money on the way.

      Heaps of room for cool visuals like revealing the pipes you find, cutscenes showing work done/completed.

      Love it! 100% would play this.
