Dig Into Secrets Controls

WASD, camera drag, tap-to-swing, and where the codes box hides on a phone.

Controls

Dig Into Secrets does not ship a unique control scheme. It is a Roblox incremental: you move an R15 avatar, you click or tap to train and mine, and menus live in the HUD. This page is the missing controls sheet so Getting Started does not have to carry every key. There is still no dedicated YouTube control video for this place ID, so we will not embed a DIG shovel minigame clip and pretend it is this title.

PC and laptop

The pickaxe is not a separate hotkey. If you are not swinging, you are not targeting a breakable part or a train dummy. Walk closer. The training guide is for Power; this page is for the fingers.

Rotate to landscape before you redeem. Portrait plus a fat keyboard is why POWERBUFF looks “expired” when you never hit Redeem. After the toast, lock orientation back if you like, then train. The codes checklist has the mobile ticks.

Lower graphics in Roblox settings if a 20-player public plus a deep shaft melts the phone. A private mining server is also a performance control.

HUD you actually need

  • Power — whether the next block breaks. If it chips, leave the hole and train.
  • Cash — egg money. Unsold loot is not Cash yet; how to sell.
  • Backpack — when it is full you are stalled.
  • Pet slots — inspect, do not auto-trust newest hatch. Pets.
  • Rebirth — do not mash. Rebirth planner.
  • Codes / shop — WELCOME and POWERBUFF live here, not in chat.

If a button is missing, finish the tutorial, like the experience, and rejoin. Some +1 titles hide widgets until those clicks.

Camera and depth

Mining a vertical shaft with the camera jammed into dirt is how you miss sparkles and fall through a layer you cannot break. Pull the camera up. On PC, a slight third-person angle lets you see ore color bands from the official thumbnail. On mobile, pinch-zoom out before you drop.

Do not confuse this with DIG’s shovel bar minigame. There is no timing bar documented for Dig Into Secrets. Click/tap the block. If it does not break, that is a Power problem, not a control problem.

Playing with other people

Voice chat is not supported on the experience. You talk in Roblox chat or Discord you brought yourself. Movement is the same. The difference is crowded pads and stolen loot — covered in play with friends and private servers.

Accessibility notes

  • Increase UI size in Roblox if the codes field is unreadable.
  • Color-blind players should still read rarity from the inspect panel numbers, not from ore hue alone. The loot tier list ranks by Cash per minute, not by pretty.
  • One-handed mobile: park on the train pad, tap, do not also steer.

What we will not fake

No custom keybinds list from another miner. No “press E to sell” unless the in-game prompt says E. If a later patch adds a sell hotkey, it will land here with a date. Until then, click the sell NPC or HUD sell button from how to sell.

Return to the guides hub when the fingers work and the loop is the remaining problem.
