Figured out a trick for leveling on soft ground that saved me 2 hours

Was setting up a 50 ton crawler on a job near a creek bed last week. Ground was spongy, every time I thought the outriggers were set, one side would sink another inch. My foreman told me to lay down two layers of 3/4 inch plywood crisscrossed instead of the usual one sheet. Worked way better than I expected. No more re-leveling every 15 minutes. Anyone else do this or have a better setup for mud season?

Nah you're overthinking it, just double up the plywood.
