Why the Vacuum matters
Once the normal Bag is large enough and the Pitchfork loop is stable, the biggest remaining problem is raw clearing speed. The Vacuum solves that by continuously pulling hay instead of waiting on discrete swings.
Heat management
The Vacuum has a visible heat bar. If you let it reach full overheat, the tool locks out while it cools. The focused guide specifically recommends backing off before that point.
A simple rhythm works:
- Vacuum a dense section.
- Release before the bar fully caps.
- Reposition, throw Dynamite or collect a nearby Gem while it cools.
- Resume before you have lost momentum.
What to upgrade
Prioritize upgrades that let the Vacuum stay productive longer and clear faster. The exact UI labels can change with updates, so this guide avoids inventing a single “perfect” numeric endpoint. The reliable rule is to keep the Vacuum ahead of your current Bag/capacity bottleneck.
Best partner tool
Dynamite. Throw it on cooldown while the Vacuum is working or cooling. The two tools solve different problems: sustained clear versus burst clear.
