Diggin: Mining Master Achievement Guide

TLDR

Use the mission named: Block Breaker. as a progress bar towards the achievement.
You can use skills and do it on density 1 for faster progress.
Should be about 20 – 30 runs after getting maxed skill tree.

After doing two full playthroughs with the skill tree maxed out and a litle bit of farming, I decided to restart for a third time and truly try and track what got me the achievement.

At about level 3 of my third run i noticed the mission: Block Breaker, had a progress bar to see how many blocks you have mined so with that i thought maybe i could use it to track the progress of this achievement since there is no tracker on the actual achievement.

And after finally getting the achievement it would prove that this is a viable method of tracking it.

As you can see from the screenshot i had 300k blocks mined when i finally got the achievement.

Just make sure you DO NOT claim the mission reward or the progress bar will not show.

So with this new progress tracker in mind I just played through the game like normal.

After i got to density 10 and doing the final “level” for the third time i checked the “progress bar” on the mission and had about 150k blocks mined, with that in mind i thought if this was tracked through all my playthroughs i surley must have mined over the 300k goal and the blocks would have to be mined in a single playthrough.

So i just keept on farming for about 10 runs on density 1 for a quicker run time, and after checking the mission i had about 200k mined so i thought, okey lets just run it too 300k and see what happends. (I tried to play a few runs with all the abilites turned off, but just seemed like way too much of a grind for this type of game so i just turned everything back on).

Lo and behold after getting the mission progress bar to 300k blocks mined the achievement finally popped.

So from what i’ve learned from my runs this is the strategy i would do.

If you already are at the end game just do about 20 – 30 runs at density 1 and it SHOULD pop, during my runs i noticed you mine about 5k blocks per run with all the skills so in theory it should be about 30 runs from a “fresh” max skill too getting the achievement.

If you are in the middle or start of a new run, use the mission as a tracker and just play the game as normal and you will get it sooner or later.
