Dig & Clean Progression Guide

Progress by improving the next run first, building repeatable income second, and saving resets or rare-resource spending until the payoff is visible.

Progression map

Advance checkpoint by checkpoint

Every stage needs a visible move-on signal.

Stage 1
1. Finish the starter loop
Understand how the game pays out and which early choices waste time.
Stage 2
2. Use free rewards
Claim codes and obvious event rewards before committing to a grind route.
Stage 3
3. Upgrade repeat value
Prioritize upgrades that increase reward quality, income, speed, or consistency.
Stage 4
4. Check reset tradeoffs
Read what resets and what bonus remains before any rebirth or prestige action.

Decision basis

Stabilize the basic loop first. Progress faster by improving the next run, not by chasing every rare-looking option.

Shift from starter rewards to repeatable income, better entities, stronger upgrades, and route choices that compound over time.

Treat rebirths, prestige, rank-ups, or resets as tradeoffs. Reset only when the permanent gain beats what the player loses.

Recovery

Focus on one loop: farm rewards, upgrade the next run, then repeat.

Pick the one with immediate payoff and save rare resources for later.

Delay the reset until the game clearly explains what stays and what disappears.
