Is the Clean Planner exact?

No. Gold-per-dig and upgrade-cost defaults are labeled community estimates you can edit. Legacy pass toggles are scenario inputs, not official constants, until live effects are tested.

Should I upgrade the shovel or the spray bottle first?

As a heuristic, the shovel gates what you can dig up while the spray bottle gates how fast each dig pays out. The planner compares your two tiers and suggests the lagging track first.

Where do the tier numbers come from?

Tiers are shown as generic Tier 1-10 until the game's exact shovel and spray bottle list is verified. Check the Shovels page for the current data state.

How much more gold do you need for the next shovel tier, roughly how many digs is that, and should you upgrade the shovel or the spray bottle next? Set your tiers and gold rate — every default is a labeled estimate you can edit.

Output

Upgrade plan

Gold needed: 150
Gold per dig: 25
Digs remaining: 6
Est. time: 2m

Buy the shovel first: dig power gates what you can dig up, and better finds are worth more gold per dig. (Heuristic — not an official formula.)

Time estimate assumes ~20s per dig cycle and is an estimate, not an official rate. See Sources for how we label data confidence.
