Alliance excavations guide & automation.
A dig link appears while you are busy. By the time you return, it may have finished and its reward places may be gone. Understanding the difference between joining a dig and claiming its treasure makes the activity much easier to follow.
How it works in the game
An alliance excavation is a shared treasure site on the world map. A member can share its location in alliance chat, and allies send squads to help. More helpers speed up the excavation, so the remaining time can change as people arrive. Alliance dig rules
Helping and claiming are separate
Joining sends a real squad to the site. When the excavation finishes, collecting the treasure is a separate action. There are up to ten reward claims, so helping with the dig does not reserve a paid claim for every participant. The available rewards depend on the site; they can include supplies, speedups, diamonds and other items. Reward places
- Open the site shared by an alliance member.
- Join with an available squad if you want to help excavate.
- Follow the site’s updated finish time or completion message.
- Claim an available reward, then inspect what you received.
A doubled reward is a possible claim outcome. It is not an extra mode you can select or a result the bot can guarantee.
How FarmHarder handles it
Find a shared dig
The bot picks up excavation links shared in alliance chat. Its activity panel shows the digs it is currently following.
Join when eligible
It joins when a squad and a place are available. Joining the dig and claiming its finished reward are separate steps, recorded in the history.
Claim and record
When a dig finishes, the bot attempts to claim according to your settings. The history records the outcome, reward place and items received.
Real bot UI with anonymized example data. A successful claim shown here is an example, not a guaranteed reward.
What you control
Fair play
Delay a reward claim by a random 0.3–1 second. This gives alliance members claiming by hand a chance to reach the limited reward places.
Only abandoned treasures
The bot is activated only 5 seconds after the dig ends, if rewards are left. This setting takes priority over the reward delay.
Account restrictions
Some accounts have their fair play settings locked. The settings screen shows the saved mode; an unavailable switch cannot override that restriction.
How to read the screen
- No squad
- The bot could not join with a squad. It can still have a separate reward-claim outcome for that dig.
- Reward · place 2
- This was the second reward claim at the site, not second place in a damage or digging leaderboard.
- Double reward
- The game reported a doubled claim. This is an outcome, not a setting or a guaranteed bonus.
- Dug by squad #2
- Squad 2 participated in excavating that site. It does not describe the position of the reward claim.
- Item icons and counts
- The items reported for the claim. Open the row to read the timestamped sequence behind that result.
Joined and claimed are different results
Joining a dig helps the excavation progress. It does not mean the reward is already in your inventory. Check the history for a claimed reward, your place and the items received.
Fair play delays the claim attempt to give other players a chance. It does not reserve a place. A reward can be gone by the time the bot attempts to collect it, so following a dig is not a guarantee of receiving its loot.
Limits to keep in mind
- Shared links, not every dig
- The activity follows digs it hears about through alliance chat. It does not promise to find every excavation in the kingdom.
- Joining needs availability
- A busy squad or a full dig can prevent joining. The history shows when a joining step could not happen.
- Rewards have limited places
- Being present at a dig does not guarantee a paid claim. Other players, your claim delay and the game’s limits affect the result.
- Delays trade speed for access
- Fair play and abandoned-only modes deliberately wait. A reward can be taken during that wait.
- Needs an active bot
- The bot must be running to hear new links and act when digs finish.
Common questions
Does it start my own excavations?
This activity follows shared digs, joins where eligible and claims finished rewards. It is not a tool for automatically starting your own excavations.
What happens if both timing options are enabled?
Only abandoned treasures takes priority. The bot waits 5 seconds and checks whether the finished dig still has room before claiming.
Why does “no squad” appear next to a reward?
The join and claim are separate events. “No squad” describes why the bot did not join with a squad; the reward result describes what happened when it later tried to claim.
Can I check what an excavation paid?
Yes. The History tab shows received items and the reward place where known. Open the row for the detailed sequence of events.
