Aye, it does. In my experience with my first attempt at a tryhard autist min/maxx farm, I find, in order of Priority without "wasting" time/resources
>Steel Axe then Steel PickAxe
>Once you start deep-diving Mine, upgrade Trash-Can as soon as possible, as high as possible.
This is all you really need
>Upgrade Axe and Pickaxe to Gold for sure, Iridium is nice but TrashCan comes first. Axe is a higher priority than Pickaxe because most mining by then is bombs/explosive ammo
>Once you open Volcano Dungeon, Copper Watering Can is fine, no need to go further
>Upgrade Pan as often as you can, as high as you can. You can get insane levels of loot from an Iridium Pan.
>Hoe, lmao you never need more than a basic hoe. Make whatever jokes you like.
After that, any upgrades are just surplus or completionist, but not truly worth beyond QoL.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
