DrainSim Forest Road Guide

A complete Forest Road mission guide covering the walkthrough, deployment order, rewards, completion regions, equipment planning and common mission problems.

Deep roadside flooding, large diggable areas and limited light at the start of the shift.

Deployment order: Pack a site light and shovel. The mission has only two measured regions, so the main challenge is establishing a clean channel through poor visibility and uneven ground.

01

Phase 1 — Light and survey the road

Make the terrain readable before digging or placing hoses.

  1. Deploy the site light where it covers both the road edge and the main low point.
  2. Scan both measured regions before unloading everything.
  3. Locate the most natural downhill route for a channel.
02

Phase 2 — Cut a controlled channel

Give the standing water a continuous route.

  1. Dig a shallow, connected path rather than a series of deep holes.
  2. Use removed dirt to close unwanted side routes.
  3. Pause and watch the flow before extending the trench.
03

Phase 3 — Pump the persistent low point

Remove water that the channel cannot move quickly enough.

  1. Place the pump only after the route has stabilised.
  2. Keep the hose clear of embankments and sharp turns.
  3. Move the pump once, at most, unless the scan proves the remaining region is separate.
04

Phase 4 — Verify both regions

Finish the road edges and channel floor.

  1. Re-scan from both ends of the road.
  2. Vacuum isolated shallow pockets.
  3. Use the squeegee to push the last film into the channel or drain route.
