Salem

I know that soil digging currently does nothing and I believe that the devs want to avoid giving extra per tick with the bonus since no other type of work gets bonus per tick since there use to be tree chopping but thats been removed.

Some suggestions for soil digging is to decrease pleghm use(even though its pretty low cost already)

Increase the max soil one can carry at once even further than the 15 kg max.

Increase the drop rates of things that can be dug up, or even, allow players to dig up certain items at intervals of 100 or so soil digging, the higher the digging, the chance to get rare items increases(these rare items should still be rare to get even with the needed soil digging to obtain the items.

THAT is ...not ...exactly ...true!
(I do own a decent soil digging set for a very special purpose!)

But anyways, soil digging needs a buff!

Soil digging is a very important part of making a home for yourself and your friends in salem, therefore, I can't believe why this has been so super low priority, at least, as an interim solution (if there is a big change coming) one could at least make it so that soil digging artifice once again speeds up digging!

The current situation is just not good:
- no speed bonus anymore, removed without anything to balance it off
- stats drain through carrying a boulder of dirt, especially annoying for low lvl characters / new players
- inbound madness through the "buff" to traces of the lost colony, I dug up a few and did not gain any madness as I took care, but I heard of other results, and especially (again) for new players, this is bad
- nerf to grubs, seriously, why?!


Again, there needs to be something done, and until the big change hits (if there is one planned), at least make it so that once again we get digging speed bonus through the artifice!

Does soil digging actually do something with a high enough bonus? Or you just making that up? You don't have to tell me what it is that it does but if there is something at all I'll definitely consider making a soil digging set to find out what that something is.

I am not making it up, and it can be VERY beneficial, depending on what you do with your time in salem, but the majority of players probably won't find it tooooo useful.

***** you and your conspiracy. I'm sick of all conspiracy in Salem, there is enough of it in Witchcraft part, no need to bring it in other parts of the game, especially in trivial ones. If you know something - just say it.

The only use for Digging set - is digging out bushes for replanting. Set bonus speeds up the process drastically.

No conspiracy!

You are right, it "just" is digging out bushes, which can be VERY helpful if you are grinding their % up and/or plating a lot of them.
- without digging and just a steel shovel: 3% per tick
- with my set, excluding the belt because of convenience: 53% per tick
