What is DUMP?
  DUMP is a popular Simulation/Tycoon game on the Roblox platform where players engage in the unconventional business of treasure hunting within massive trash heaps. The game combines active mini-games for excavation with tycoon elements like upgrading a base and accumulating wealth. 
The goal is to progress from a simple scavenger to a wealthy mogul by constantly finding, selling, and leveraging valuable items hidden within the dump environment. It also includes PvP (Player-versus-Player) interactions centered around base defense and stealing.
How to Play DUMP?
  DUMP's gameplay revolves around a cycle of digging, selling, upgrading, and rebirthing:
The Digging Process
  
    Equip and Tap: Equip your shovel and tap on the trash heaps to begin the excavation process.
    Mini-Games: Digging often involves short mini-games, such as swiping rocks in a correct numeric order to break layers or matching a moving bar to successfully "wrestle" a prize free.
    Finding Items: Successfully completing the digging process yields various items, ranging from common trash to rare and valuable treasures.
  
Earning and Upgrading
  
    Converting Items: Return to your personal base and drop off your collected finds. These items are automatically converted into cash (in-game currency).
    Upgrading Equipment: Use your cash to buy better shovels, which significantly increases your ability to break through layers and the likelihood of uncovering rarer, higher-value items.
    Mutations: Watch out for random "Mutations" which are temporary boosts that multiply the profit of your collected items, encouraging high-speed selling.
  
Progression and PvP
  
    Rebirthing (Prestige): When progress slows, players can choose to **Rebirth** (Prestige). This resets some progress but grants a permanent boost to earnings and increases your prestige rank.
    Stealing and Defense: Players can attempt to steal items from other players' bases. Therefore, a strategic part of the game is investing in base upgrades and defenses to protect your accumulated wealth.
