The first loop: dig a target, put the egg on the plot, sell loot, and equip a better shovel.

First session
Dig the first target — Load in and use the top-bar DIG SITE button, or follow the prompt on the plot. It says to dig up your egg and to click and hold. The highlighted target can be a padlock labeled Common.
Put eggs on the plot — PLOT is your base. Eggs set there show hatch timers. The pets they become earn cash, and the HUD labels that income Cash Earns Offline. Expand the plot only when the upgrade board shows a price you can read.
Sell loot, then buy the next shovel — SELL is the top-bar button for dug-up loot. SHOP on the left opens shovels. You start with the Basic Shovel at 1x. Grey is 1.5x and has no published price. Green is the first listed cash buy, $3k for 2x, and the card can also show a second cost of 20.
Leave a layer that will not break — If the dig screen says digging is slow, train Power or upgrade the shovel. Those are separate. The HUD Power number is not the x multiplier on the shovel card. SURFACE brings you back up from a named layer such as Gilded Sands.
Follow the plot prompt: click and hold to dig up the egg, which can be a Common padlock. Put eggs on the plot so pets can earn cash, sell loot from the top bar, and equip the best shovel the shop will give you.
Which shovel is the strongest?
The Zero Shovel has the highest published Power, 30x, at a listed price of $200Qa. Until you can pay for it, equip the highest multiplier you already own. The HUD Power number is a separate stat from that multiplier.
Why does digging say it is slow?
The dig screen tells you to train Power or upgrade your shovel. Open the shop for a higher multiplier, or use the Dig Faster control if the next shovel is still too expensive. Standing on the warning does not fill the bar.
Do pets earn cash while I am offline?
Yes. The game description says you keep earning cash while offline, and the HUD prints Cash Earns Offline. Exact cash per pet is not published.
