How many shovels are you saving for Act 2?

As soon as I get the last prize I'm going to stop digging until I save up 199. Then I will just dig to use what I earn over 199 so as not to waste them.

reversing that strategy may be more practical. it would nerve me to keep a constant eye on the cap. calculate how long it takes, given your game playing style, to aquire 199 shovels. just play until you reach the moment where the left time is needed to fill the store to the brim. and maybe a bit more if it is like the sh stores.

Depending on the amount of shovels you generate, you could calculate a set amount of shovels used versus shovels saved past a set point.
like using 5 out of 10 shovels generated, or 10 out of 17 shovels generated.
whatevs though, im going to aim for having 199 for act II.

Depends when I get Homerlizard... This is taking forever..

i have 85 already

i'm not opening another thread for this but did it come to your mind that the shovels are of very poor quality. judging from the size of a double door near my excavation site i think they last only 15m3. better start saving a lot.

Maybe this has been answered, but do you get the same amount of "treasures" if you hit the gem with the first shovel, or the 10th?

This was put in the strategy thread.

Aha!! I thought there was a difference, but it is between grass and dirt, not number of shovels. Thanks meinaz and frosted1414, I toally missed that.

Im closing in on 199. Only took a couple of days.

Has anybody got over 199 shovels? i assume it will work because it does with other parts of the game but I don't really want to try and waste shovels if it doesn't store the extra.
