Hello miners!

In case you missed it:

With patch 1.5.5.13507 we gave you all the tools you need to create your own skins. We’re receiving a lot of questions how to make them and that some files are missing so we’ve decided to make a news about it.

Here you can find the full guide:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P4f94ft2IL2kCj6n0GKaCXmXhEbhBzUpG2h-gROe-FY/edit?usp=sharing

Where do I put skins?
“C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\CodeHorizon\GoldRushTheGame\CustomPaint”

What if I don’t see AppData folder?
“Go to C:\Users\username -> press view on the top -> Mark “Hidden items” and the folder should appear”

What if I can't see machines in the folder?
“Start your game -> go to paintshop -> repaint your vehicle -> Folder with the name of the machine should appear”

I made the skin but it doesn’t work, what should I do?
“Make sure you’re following the guide and you’re in the right folder, you must name EVERY FILE precisely as it is in the guide. All your work must be saved in .png”

Does it matter which program I’m using?
“No it does not. If you’re beginner you’ll be fine with paint. If you’re more advanced you can use Adobe Photoshop or any other program. Just remember to save your file as .png”

About This Game

Make your gold mining dream come true! Start with nothing but few spare bucks and work your way up to becoming the millionaire. Gold Rush: The Game is a gold mining simulator based on smash-hit TV Series from Discovery Channel. Let's get digging!


Sit behind the wheel of multiple vehicles such as excavator, drill, front-end loader, bulldozer, and others. The whole gold mining operation depends on your steering skills!


Experience the challenging life of a chief mechanic. Various parts of machines can break when least expected and cost you big time.




Keep improving your gold mining business. Start with a simple bucket and a hog pan, lease your first claim, and upgrade it to next tiers, as you begin to dig gold.


Admire highly detailed vehicles and gold mining machines. Purchase new and more efficient wash plant parts to increase your earnings.


We created a big, detailed world with four unique gold mining claims. On each, you will find a fully deformable terrain. Each fragment of our world has its own background story you can discover in your spare time.
