Dig For Eggs Beginner Guide: Game Basics
Dig For Eggs is a digging-and-collection Roblox game by RoDark Studios where you tunnel underground, excavate buried eggs, and hatch them into pets that boost your progress. The game combines simple controls with a satisfying upgrade loop: better shovels reach deeper layers, deeper layers yield rarer eggs, and rarer pets accelerate everything.
Digging
- Break dirt blocks with your shovel
- Stamina drains per swing, regenerates over time
- Deeper layers hold rarer eggs
Hatching
- Eggs hatch on timers in the hatchery
- Better pets take longer to hatch
- Pets boost coins, dig speed, and luck
Progression
- Upgrade shovel and backpack with Coins
- Unlock new zones at depth milestones
- Rebirth for permanent multipliers later
Dig wide tunnels near the surface instead of one deep shaft. Common and Uncommon eggs spawn frequently in the surface layer, so horizontal coverage finds more eggs per stamina point early on.
Step-by-Step: Your First Hour
Follow this route to build momentum in the opening session. Each step compounds: codes fund your first upgrades, upgrades reach better eggs, and better pets multiply everything.
Learn the basic controls
Move with WASD and dig with left click on PC (tap the button on mobile). Each swing consumes stamina, which regenerates automatically. Upgrading your shovel digs more per swing and lowers stamina cost per block broken.
Redeem codes and join the group
Redeem all active codes through the Codes menu for free Coins, boosts, and eggs, then join the RoDark Studios group for the group member bonus. Group-locked rewards only register after joining.
Dig up your first eggs
Start in the surface layer and clear wide tunnels to maximize egg finds. Fill your backpack, then head to the hatchery — never leave eggs unhatched while you dig, because hatch timers only run when eggs are placed.
Hatch and equip pets
Place every egg in the hatchery immediately. Equip your best pets for multipliers to dig speed, coin gain, and luck. Keep duplicate low-rarity pets equipped — their small boosts stack.
Reinvest into shovel upgrades
Once your shovel reaches level 3+, move down to the mid-depth layer for Stone Eggs. Reinvest Coins into shovel upgrades before spending on anything cosmetic — those upgrades pay for themselves.
If you can afford Stone Eggs (500 Coins) and maintain a full equipped pet team within your first hour, you are ahead of the curve. From here, aim for the Crystal Egg tier at 5,000 Coins.
Egg Tiers and Currency System
Eggs are the heart of Dig For Eggs. Each egg type has a fixed pet pool with set odds, and rarity scales from Common up to Secret. Coins come from digging blocks, selling duplicate pets, and objectives; Gems are the premium currency for high-tier eggs and shovel upgrades.
| Egg | Tier | Price / Source | Hatch Time | Notable Pets (Odds) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dirt Egg | Common | 100 Coins or surface digging | 30 sec | Dirt Dog (75%), Mole Mouse (20%) |
| Stone Egg | Uncommon | 500 Coins or mid-depth digging | 1 min | Stone Cat (70%), Boulder Bunny (25%) |
| Crystal Egg | Rare | 5,000 Coins, deep layer | 3 min | Crystal Fox (60%), Prism Dragon (10%) |
| Lava Egg | Epic | 25,000 Coins, magma layer | 8 min | Lava Hound (55%), Ember Eagle (35%) |
| Golden Egg | Legendary | 100 Gems, rare finds, events | 15 min | Golden Griffin (50%), Royal Phoenix (35%) |
| Void Egg | Secret | Ultra-rare deep finds, events | 30 min | Void Whale (85%), Abyssal Reaper (15%) |
| Currency | How to Earn | Best Early Use |
|---|---|---|
| Coins | Digging blocks, selling duplicate pets, objectives | Shovel and backpack upgrades |
| Gems | Rare digs, events | High-tier eggs, shovel upgrades |
Do not spend early Gems on cosmetic eggs. Gems are scarce, and shovel upgrades plus Golden Eggs deliver far more long-term value than anything cosmetic in the first few hours.
Beginner Priorities: What to Do First
Not every system deserves your attention on day one. These cards rank the highest-return actions for a new account, in order.
Do First: Upgrade Shovel
- Highest return on Coins
- More depth access per session
- Reduces stamina cost per dig
Do Second: Keep Hatching
- Timers run only when placed
- Duplicate pets stack boosts
- Sell extras for Coins
Do Later: Zone Unlocks
- Cost more than early upgrades
- New egg pools reward patience
- Rebirth only after deep progress
| Priority | Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Redeem all codes | Free Coins and boosts with zero effort |
| 2 | Join RoDark group | Unlocks group-appreciation rewards |
| 3 | Shovel to level 3+ | Unlocks efficient mid-depth farming |
| 4 | Fill equipped pet slots | Multipliers compound with every dig |
| 5 | Backpack upgrades | Prevents wasted trips from a full inventory |
First Session Goals:
- Redeem every active code
- Join the RoDark Studios group
- Reach shovel level 3 or higher
- Equip a full team of hatched pets
- Buy your first Stone Egg
- Reinvest all Coins into upgrades
Zones, Trading, and Rebirth Explained
Beyond the core loop, three systems shape long-term growth. Zones expand where you can dig, trading turns duplicate pets into value, and rebirth converts progress into permanent power.
| System | What It Does | When to Engage |
|---|---|---|
| Zones | New areas unlock at depth milestones or unlock fees, each with unique egg pools | After shovel level 3+ |
| Trading | Player-to-player pet trades; check current value lists before dealing | Once you hatch Rare pets or better |
| Rebirth | Resets progress for permanent multipliers | Only after deep-layer access and strong pets |
Pet values shift with every update and event. Compare your pet against a current value list before trading, and treat Mythical or Secret pets as high-value assets — they are the backbone of serious trading.
FAQ
Q: What is the best first upgrade in Dig For Eggs?
The shovel. Upgrading it digs more per swing, reduces stamina cost, and unlocks deeper layers where rarer eggs spawn. Backpack upgrades are the second priority so a full inventory never forces wasted trips.
Q: Should I dig deep or dig wide as a beginner?
Dig wide. Surface and mid-depth layers spawn Common and Uncommon eggs frequently, and horizontal tunnels find more eggs per stamina point. Go deep only after your shovel reaches level 3 or higher.
Q: How do coins and gems differ?
Coins are the main currency earned from digging, selling duplicate pets, and objectives — spend them on shovel and backpack upgrades. Gems are premium currency from rare digs and events, best saved for high-tier eggs like the Golden Egg and shovel upgrades.
Q: Are duplicate pets worth keeping?
Yes. Equipped duplicate low-rarity pets stack their boosts, and extras can be sold for Coins or used as trade filler once you reach the trading system.
