You can upgrade your <strong>Shovel<\/strong>, <strong>Backpack<\/strong>, <strong>Energy<\/strong>, and <strong>Jetpack<\/strong>, all four of which are core pillars of your expedition.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Enhancing the Shovel increases your <strong>digging strength<\/strong>. This allows you to displace dirt at a much faster rate and hit the enemies harder, should you engage in combat. Since the Shovel is your primary tool, consider prioritizing it in the Upgrade menu over the other elements.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase Backpack improvements from the same menu to <strong>expand your inventory<\/strong>. Collecting and trading treasure is an elementary task, and the frequency of trips to and from the mine reduces the more you improve it. As such, Backpack Upgrades should be the next in line when purchasing such enhancements.<\/p>\n<p>Since the stamina meter doesn\u2019t replenish on its own, you must rely on consumables to refill it. You can reduce the frequency of relying on consumables by upgrading your Energy stat, <strong>increasing your maximum stamina<\/strong>. That way, you can dig for longer without having to return to the shed or use up your valuable Bloxy Cola cans.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, perhaps the lowest on the priority list is the Jetpack, which lets you fly upwards for a short duration. This can be used to access mine ceilings and escape to the surface if need be. That said, it isn\u2019t as fundamental to the gameplay experience as the other elements, which is why you should consider getting the other Upgrades first.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Also read: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/roblox-news\/dig-backyard-a-beginner-s-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Dig the Backyard: A beginner\u2019s guide<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>Earning Cash quickly in Dig the Backyard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Selling valuables (Image via Roblox)\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Selling valuables (Image via Roblox)\" src-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/ba902-17431431921990-1920.jpg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201080%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Selling valuables (Image via Roblox)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Purchasing Upgrades requires you to accrue Cash, which involves collecting as many valuables as you can and bringing them back to the garage to sell. You will need plenty of Cash to get the enhancements necessary to keep your expedition going, so it\u2019s important to get as much of it as possible. Luckily, farming money in this experience is fairly straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>The items you salvage while digging through the backyard have a specific price attached to them. For instance, rocks sell for a single unit of Cash, while Gold can be exchanged for 30 Cash a piece. As such, we recommend prioritizing metals and precious minerals before collecting the less valuable ones.<\/p>\n<p>Early on in the game, the most valuable salvage you have access to will be Iron metal found abundantly close to the very first checkpoint. You can go on a quick scavenging session for the metal until the Upgrade cost eclipses the amount of Iron you can find.<\/p>\n<p>After that, you can proceed to the next area and repeat the process over again, looking for Gold, Amethyst, Silver, and other valuables. By doing so, you will be more than prepared to face the challenges posed by the later parts of the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Also read:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/roblox-news\/100-unique-roblox-username-ideas-new-players-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\"> Unique Roblox username ideas for new players<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>How to purchase Upgrades in Dig the Backyard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You need Cash to buy Upgrades for your Shovel, Backpack, Energy, and Jetpack, which can be earned by trading valuables found in the mines.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to access the Upgrades menu in Dig the Backyard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Upgrades menu can be found in the garage next to the cake.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is Dig the Backyard available for free?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can access the experience for free, with no mandatory premium charges.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Ashmita Bhatt<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
