Problem: When the optimiser runs, it is a possibility that a mining Agent will be selected to operate at a rate that is not practical in reality. This has the potential for impractical plans to be published.
Solution: It is now possible to define a minimum rate that a mining Agent can operate at. This option can be enabled in the Final Configuration step, and enabling it will add a row per Agent in the calendar. When enabled, the minimum rate will be included as a binary variable in the optimisation. As it is a binary variable, the optimisation becomes mixed-integer and as a result, can slow the Scheduling scheduling speed down.

Problem: When stockpiles in a mutex set have a build target type, it was evident that when a new build started, the “Hours between stockpile decision” input could cause loaders to remain on stockpiles that do not align with the new build targets. The result would cause a volatile grade curve for the stockpile build.
Solution: Once the state of the stockpile build changes, override the “Hours between stockpile decision” option and force Agents to make a new decision. This functionality can be enabled in the Stockpile Build Settings.

Solution: Include a period filter in the Animation export configuration allowing users to specify which periods they want to export the animation for.
