Two more constraints specific to this trade, also handled automatically: unpredictable soil (the soil type can change the cost by a factor of 4, loose soil vs rock at 1.5 m deep) and transport to designated sites (hauling to designated sites C1, C2 and C3 accounts for 20% to 40% of the total excavation budget).
