Plan your next DigDigDrill session
Our independent guide breaks down DigDigDrill’s systems, helping you refine digging efficiency, smithing choices, and effect pairings. By examining each loop separately, you can experiment confidently and turn raw ore into a powerful, customized drill.
01 / THE GUIDE
Bag Management
Track how many blocks you clear before the bag fills. Adjust your digging route to maximize ore per trip, reducing surface returns and keeping momentum steady.
- Monitor the bag meter to plan surface trips efficiently.
- Dig in steady bursts to reduce the frequency of returns.
02 / THE GUIDE
Blueprint Optimization
Record which ore arrangements produce desired effects. Compare outcomes to identify the most reliable patterns for speed or explosion upgrades.
- Try several ore groupings to see which effects appear.
- Keep a note of successful blueprints for later use.
03 / THE GUIDE
Effect Pairing
Test drills that combine movement‑speed boosts with explosion enhancements. Observe how the combined effects change block‑clearing speed and overall progress.
- Pair effects that support each other, such as speed with block‑clearing power.
- Test one new effect at a time to gauge its impact.
04 / THE GUIDE
Treasure Prioritization
Focus on blocks that frequently hide treasure chests. Evaluate how the 20% piercing chance and sight‑area boost affect your ability to locate and collect resources.
- Target blocks likely to hide chests to increase reward frequency.
- Upgrade drills before tackling post‑999 floors to make use of new effects.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Choice
Try both DualShock and DualSense controllers to see which feels more comfortable for your play style. Note any differences in handling while digging.
- Select the controller type you prefer for comfortable play.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep progress synced across computers.
