The Underground menu has commands for mine layout and timing.
The Mining Project Manager command is described in the Geology
section of the manual. There are several different methods for
placing panels for the mine layout. The differences between these
routines is outlined in the chart below.

Level
of details |
Provides the high level of detail, allowing user to specify every setting for every panel during mine layout. | Assumes default panel settings except for name. | Provides the high level of detail, allowing user to specify every setting for every panel during mine layout. | Except for extraction options in the beginning all panel settings are default. |
Layout speed |
Moderate, depends on amount of settings edited. | Fast. | Slowest, but generates timing results as layout progresses. | Quickest, most streamlined.Very efficient in placing perim with direction. |
Mine
plan versatility |
Creates a complete mine plan with "tree-like" connectivity, providing maximum information for timing precedence. | Creates a complete mine plan with "tree-like" connectivity, providing maximum information for timing precedence. | Generates mine plan consisting of separate panels with equipment already assigned. May be edited and replayed. Correct timing sequencing is user responsibility. | Generates mine plan consisting of separate panels with no equipment assigned. Correct timing sequencing is user responsibility. |
Main application |
Established mine plan with relatively minor modifications in future. | Established mine plan with relatively minor modifications in future. | Best for laying out a complicated mine plan with multiple units working and numerous unconnected panels. | Ideal for trial runs on large number of panels, where fast plan creation and extensive modifications are the must. |
