Fluctuating dirt globs.?.?.?.?

Do you mean rolling a random amount of extra dirt you would be able to carry after picking up the first dirt piece and not actually knowing the bonus?
Hey, better than nothing!

Well if that is too harsh then the shovel ticks could stay the same as they are and have say;

Steel Shovel w/ no bonus = 4 Ticks total as it is(unchanged)

+500 Soil Digging =50% tick (3 Ticks total)
+1000 Soil Digging =100% tick (2 Ticks total)

More dirt-carry only further encourages afk digging and game of alts, and is not really necessary as you can transport dirt on sleds/carts which means one char can conveniently transport 15 * 8 dirt with a cart.

Digging is nothing game breaking, but something necessary, even back when it was easier to dig, it was still hard work to really shape a landscape.
But now with madness and traces... and slower speed... no, just no.

If you want to add something like archaeology, please consider making this distinct from normal digging with the intent to move soil, so that there is no reason to make it any harder than necessary.
While normal digging could still have a tiny, tiny chance to get you something archaeology related, or not.

You may want to reduce the chance of getting coins ...like, to 1/4 or less of what it is currently, it really is way too much.
I have, at least personally, also the feeling that traces could be a bit less rare than they are currently, but that might be just my bad luck.
On the other hand you may increase the chance for getting tubers again, it's not like you can just spam more than 2-3 of them in a feasting session anyways, reduce their regen value if you think they make digging to self-sustaining.

Base digging speed should be high already, not even lower than what we have now.
And digging sets should again increase the speed with the possibility of getting to 100% per tick on an absurdly perfect set, which means a "just good" set should reach 50%+ per tick.

[edit:] consider faster digging also increases the amount of traces per time digging, so that's that

100% this. Why is terraforming so hard and tedious when that's a fun and with endless possibilities mechanic in survival sandbox games

Man, you guys overcomplicate **** way to much.
Make digging speed scale with soil digging bonuses.
Make size dirt globes scale with soil digging bonus.
Make converting the same dirt into clay be faster with a set.
Ill be a happy man after

That is why I I rewrote my suggestion in turn of Tulgaraths complaint in regards to messing up newbies too much. But having a RANDOM roll on how much digging tick% you get is stupid and it should be a standstill bonus just like a feasting set. That is specifically why I stated every increment of soil digging change the tick amount by 1, but with random +X% roll on digging ticks is silly.

when he said fluctuating dirt globs i read that as your second suggestion of fluctuating with your digging bonus not random...

This... there are a million other better things that could be fixed/worked on and instead of asking for that, everyone wants to toss yet another "not problem" at him.

Minor Update for everybody. Marp said he plans to launch the event sometime around the next Everbloom. This is the event to turn in grapejuice. It seemed like players could use the luxury of a bit more time to get their grapejuice industry set up and since the event is 'season dependent' it didn't feel right to have it start this soon. I did spawn One of the several locations along the beach where it may be taking place so extra eager players can go map it out if they wish, and Marp will build it out in its full entirety for the next season.

Not many people have the humours to go that deep into darkness so, okay.
