New Free Codes!

• ExcavationReworkNovember - gives 200 gems - Expires on 10.12.2025

Changed

• Pickaxe Storage increased

  • Base storage 30->300 pickaxes

  • Max Additional storage from excavation shop 100->200 pickaxes

  • Max Additonal storage from pets 105->200 pickaxes

  • Total max storage possible 235 pickaxes -> 700 pickaxes

• Bomb effectiveness upgrade in the Excavation shop has changed

  • 8 max upgrades -> 20 max upgrades

  • 10% per each upgrade -> 5% per each upgrade

  • Max of 80% upgrade -> Max of 100% upgrade

  • The prices of the upgrades will be around the same, just added more steps in between to avoid large jumps(old 8th step cost=new 20th step cost)

• The bomb tool in excavation now will also dig empty tiles

  • To prevent you wasting pickaxes when there are less than 10% non-empty tiles, the bomb will not work, and a message will be shown - If it wasn't the case, you would waste a lot of pickaxes digging random empty tiles.

• The pet 13 star ability was changed from bomb effectiveness to "Bomb Tool will not dig empty tiles in Excavation"

• Pets

  • Buffed the increase pickaxe storage abilities of the pets greatly

• Excavation Levels

  • Bigger range of possible rewards that you can find in a level, for example in level 3 you can find 1-4 rewards now, this will make the scanner with its new feature more useful so you'll get information if to skip the stage or stay.

  • Slight XP changes requirements to level up

New

• New tab in the Excavation wiki explaining exactly what each layer depth is to avoid confusion.

• Added many new statistics for Excavation like time remaining to fill storage

• New useful settings for Excavation

  • Hold to use tool - will allow you to more smoothly use your chisels/shovels without your finger getting hurt.

  • Show notification on full storage

  • Automatically move to next stage

  • Prevent bomb usage when ineffective - When there are few tiles left, the bomb will likely target already empty tiles and will result you wasting pickaxes.

  • Automatically use scanner

• Scanner

  • Scanner will display reward count in current stage after used. (You'll have to buy an upgrade in order to get this feature for 1 million fossils)

  • Now scan area will disappear after all rewards inside of it are found.

Fixed

• Inconsistent bonus values when you have both short bonuses(seagulls, excavation clocks) with long bonuses(from gem shop)

• Pet bond progress wasn't updated properly in the pet selection menu.

• Fixed bug that completed a stage even if you didn't find all rewards in it

Planned Next Updates

• Update 2.4 - Quality of life - you can still suggest them on the Discord or Steam Forums.
