Gold Diggers is a feature that is unlocked by using A Scrap of Paper, which is a guaranteed drop from Jake From Accounting.
It allows you to sacrifice some of your GPS to gain bonuses in various areas of the game. By paying one-off gold fees, you can unlock and level up Diggers. And by activating them, you can gain bonuses, in return for a constant drain on the GPS from your Time Machine, equal to 0.01% of the cost to unlock that level. You can only have as many Diggers active as you have Digger Slots. There are 12 diggers and 12 digger slots.
Types of Diggers[]
Formula key:
DiggerLevel = The level of the digger
GlobalBonus = The bonus applied to all diggers performance based on total bought levels
100% bonus is no effect. So basically, if you calculate the bonus to be 200%, that means the digger is doubling that stat.
The cost to upgrade or run each digger is 1.5x as much as the previous level for the first four (page 1) diggers, while it is 1.75x as much for the other eight (page 2 & 3) diggers.

Global Digger Bonus[]
Diggers will give a bonus to all Diggers when you increase their maximum level, of 0.05% per level (additively across all diggers). So, to get this multiplier up as much as possible, always level up Diggers as much as possible, even if you don't have the GPS to use it or don't want to use the bonus in general.
The formula for the global bonus is the following:
Under 500 total digger levels: 0.05%*(Total Digger Levels) + (No TM Challenge Bonus) + (Party (set) bonus)
Over 500 total digger levels: 25% + 0.05%*(Total Digger Levels - 500)^0.7 + (No TM Challenge Bonus) + (Party (set) bonus)
Digger Slot Locations[]
There are 12 total digger slots, found via the following methods:
- 1 upon unlocking feature
- 1 from Scrap of Paper Set
- 1 from EXP shop (25,000 EXP)
- 2 from ITOPOD Perks
- 1 from No Time Machine Challenge, completion 5
- 6 from 4G's Sellout Shop
By the time you get access to equipment with high Energy and Magic bars in early Evil difficulty, your Beard progress is likely to be maxed out at all times, making the Beard diggers unneeded. Therefore, you only need to acquire 10 of the 12 possible digger slots to get full use out of the diggers feature.
