When this property is checked, then the digger can skip ahead in the sequence if the next block hasn’t been drilled and blasted yet, then come back and mine it later.

Uncheck this property to force an exact order on the mining sequence.

When this property is checked, the agent does not drop down to the next track, even if that means it sits idle.

Uncheck this property to allow waterfall transitions between tracks.

When this property is checked, the agent finishes the current (dig or blast) block before dropping down to the lower track, even if that means mining past the End time of the bar.

Uncheck this property to allow waterfall transitions between tracks.

When this property is checked, the agent finishes the current (dig or blast) block before popping up to the higher track, even if that means mining past the End time of the bar.

Uncheck this property to enforce a priority track change.

When this property is checked, top-track bars override all settings on lower-track bars.

Time Filters may be used to create day-shift-only sequences. During the night shift, the agent will drop down to the second track and execute the night-shift sequence.

Max Agent Rates may be used to limit the dig rate for a specified set of tasks. For example, mining out a boggy bench.
