Licence summary for automated readers: https://justified.gg/llms.txt ## Gold Digger Gold Digger (`/golddigger`) is a roaming mining job. You dig for gold in sand and dirt, wash it through your machine, and sell it with a lantern. It's interactive, profitable, and you never need to visit an NPC. Just launch your gold into the sky! --- ## The Full Process ### Buy Equipment Get a **Gold Washer**, a **Bucket**, **Rubber Mats** and a **Lantern** from the F4 menu. Your job already gives you a shovel and a sieve. ### Set Up the Washer Place your Gold Washer anywhere you like. It doesn't need to be near water. ### Attach Rubber Mats Put rubber mats on the washer. These catch the gold. ### Dig with the Shovel Left-click on dirt, sand or grass. The dirt goes into a bucket near you. ### Wash the Dirt Pour the bucket into the washer and press its water button to turn the water on. ### Collect Gold Press E on rubber mats to take the gold off as jars. ### Sell via Lantern Load jars onto a lantern, press E outdoors, and watch it fly away with your money! --- ## Equipment | Item | Price | Limit | Notes | | - | - | - | - | | **Gold Washer** | £45,000 | 1 | Main processing machine | | **Rubber Mat** | £6,000 | 9 | Catches gold during washing | | **Bucket** | £8,000 | 2 | Collects dirt while you dig. Keep it close | | **Bucket - Follow** | £60,000 | 1 | Follows you while you dig | | **Lantern** | £2,500 | 1 | Sells gold. Holds 3 jars, flies away outdoors | | **Shovel** | Free | | Your job gives you one | | **Sieve** | Free | | Your job gives you one | A rubber mat holds 500g of gold to start, more as you level up. A jar holds 1,000g to start. --- ## Gold Washer Setup Basic SetupUpgrades ### Setting Up the Washer 1. Place the Gold Washer 2. Attach rubber mats to its mat slots 3. Press the water button to turn the water on 4. Ready to wash! When every mat is full, the washer stops and waits for you. Your gold is safe until you collect it. --- ## Digging for Gold Finding GoldBucket Types ### Gold Veins - The ground has **invisible gold veins** with more gold in them - Each swing shows the **gold ratio** at that spot, and whether you're getting warmer or colder - Move towards warmer swings to find a vein - Veins don't last forever While you dig you'll sometimes turn up a find: cash, a richer vein, a Bit, or even a weapon. --- ## Washing & Collecting ### Pour Dirt into the Washer Bring your full bucket to the washer. The dirt goes in. ### Turn On the Water Press the water button on the washer. ### Wait for Processing Gold lands on the rubber mats as the washer works through the dirt. ### Harvest Mats Press **E** on each mat to take its gold as a jar. A red exclamation mark means the mat is full. Harvest it so the washer keeps going. ### Merge Jars Touch jars together to combine their gold. --- ## Selling Gold The lantern is how you sell. No NPC needed! Buy a **Lantern** from the F4 menu Touch up to **3 jars** to the lantern. It shows what they're worth Make sure you're **outdoors** (it needs open sky) Press **E** to launch the lantern Watch it fly away. Your money arrives with a receipt Gold sells for £14 a gram. You can sell from anywhere outdoors: the beach, streets, rooftops. --- ## Alternative: The Sieve Your job gives you a **Sieve** for washing gold by hand: 1. Right-click on dirt to collect it in the sieve 2. Left-click to wash it 3. Press **R** to empty the sieve's gold The sieve is slower, but it's free and good for starting out before you can afford a washer. --- ## Level Rewards Gold Digger has 60 levels. As you level up, more washer upgrades go on sale, your rubber mats hold more gold (750g at level 7, 1,000g at level 18), and your jars hold more (1,500g at level 12, 2,000g at level 26). --- ## Tips for Success ### Get the Follow Bucket Worth every penny. It makes digging much easier. ### Follow the gold ratio Move towards warmer swings. The number tells you where the veins are. ### Harvest mats quickly A full mat stops the washer. Red exclamation means full. ### Merge jars before selling Touch jars together to combine them. A lantern holds 3 jars. ### Sell outdoors The lantern needs open sky to fly away. It won't work inside buildings. --- ## Common Problems ### Washer stopped **Cause:** Every rubber mat is full. **Solution:** Press E on the mats to take the gold off. ### Bucket not collecting dirt **Cause:** Bucket too far away, or full. **Solution:** Keep the bucket close to where you're digging, or use the Follow Bucket. ### Lantern won't launch **Cause:** Not outdoors. **Solution:** Move outside to an open area with clear sky. ### Washer not processing **Cause:** The water is off, or there's no dirt in it. **Solution:** Press the water button and pour in a bucket of dirt. ### Gold ratio is low everywhere **Cause:** No vein nearby. **Solution:** Move to a different area. Veins are spread around the map. --- ## Quick Reference - **Location**: any dirt, sand or grass area - **Equipment**: Washer, Mats, Bucket and Lantern.
