What Should You Upgrade First?
Compare shovels when digging limits supply, sprayers when dirty relics wait, and museum space when clean relics cannot be displayed. If balanced, save and retest.

In this field note
Measure the whole loop
Count successful recoveries and cleanings, time each stage, and note what waits at the end. Compare similar normal runs so a lucky discovery does not determine the entire upgrade decision.
Choose by the delay
- Clean relics waiting for space: review museum capacity.
- Dirty relics waiting to be cleaned: compare sprayers.
- No queue, but digging clearly takes longer: compare shovels.
- No queue and similar stage times: save and retest.
How our thresholds work
The calculator prioritizes museum space when at least two clean relics wait. Otherwise a dirty queue or a cleaning rate below 95% of discovery points to the sprayer. Digging that takes more than 115% of cleaning time per relic points to the shovel. These are editorial planning thresholds, not Roblox formulas.
Before buying
Record the current price, advertised effect, bonus state and a comparable before-and-after run. A faster stage is useful only if another stage can handle the extra output. No fixed list of named starter purchases is claimed without current tests.

Official pages establish identity and the general loop. Player-input arithmetic and editorial planning rules are not game-tested values. Official artwork is promotional, not a playthrough screenshot.
Common questions
Is shovel first always best?
No universal order is verified. More digging can offer little benefit while cleaning or display space is already limiting progress.
Is 15% a game mechanic?
No. It is an editorial threshold for a repeatable planning method.
