Walkthrough: Sets, Disks & Progression

A practical Dice Hoarder walkthrough for building seven-piece sets, unlocking floppy disk powers, mapping inventory, and progressing shifts.

Dice Hoarder Walkthrough: The Shift Loop

A dice shop should feel cozy, not chaotic, but your first shift can bury you under hundreds of loose polyhedrals. This Dice Hoarder walkthrough keeps the job simple: identify dice, build complete seven-piece sets, and use every tool the shop gives you. If your shelves are already a rainbow avalanche, the fix is not faster grabbing; it is a repeatable sorting routine. A good Dice Hoarder walkthrough starts with the shift loop, then adds inventory mapping, floppy disk powers, and a little resin crafting when stock runs thin.

A shift is a loop, not a race. Story Mode gives you no timers, and the next day begins only after you stock the required value of dice. That means you can search every corner, plan complete sets, and work at your own pace without losing progress to a clock. The shop’s cozy ambience, original soundtrack, and satisfying click-clack sounds are there to keep the job calm, not to pressure you.

Phase	What to do	Why it matters
Survey	Walk the shop and check shelves, corners, and the floor	Finds loose dice before you start carrying
Identify	Pick up dice and read the material and color label	Prevents near-matches from entering the wrong set
Sort	Group dice by set needs, not just by color	Builds complete seven-piece sets faster
Stock	Place finished sets and check the required value	Ends the shift and opens the next day
Improve	Use disks or craft resin dice for stubborn gaps	Reduces repeat searches

The survey phase matters more than it looks. Loose dice can sit on shelves, in corners, or on the floor. If you grab the first colorful die you see, you will spend the rest of the shift backtracking. Walk the room once, note where each material and color group lives, and then start building. This Dice Hoarder walkthrough treats every trip as a chance to close a set. The shop has 400+ seven-piece sets to rebuild, so efficiency comes from fewer trips, not faster clicking.

Dice Hoarder Walkthrough: Build Complete Sets

Every complete set needs one of each classic polyhedral die: a percentile die, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20. That is seven pieces, no substitutions. Learn the checklist before you learn any shortcut, because a set with six correct dice is still an unfinished set. The left-panel label is your best friend here: it shows the material and color of the die you are holding or have selected, so you can identify a piece without turning it over ten times.

Die	Count per set	What to verify
Percentile die	1	Keep it separate from the D10 and confirm with the label
D4	1	Match the die to the set’s material and color
D6	1	Check the label when several cubes look similar
D8	1	Confirm the shape and material before placing
D10	1	Do not confuse it with the percentile die
D12	1	Read the label if the color is close to another set
D20	1	Finish the set only when all seven pieces are present

When two dice look close, read the material and color label instead of guessing. Keep an inventory map handy so you do not have to return to the computer every time you forget which shelf holds a set. Carry only dice that complete a set or start a new one. If you pick up a fifth blue D6 with no set waiting for it, you are just moving clutter from one shelf to another.

Build sets in a consistent order. Start with the dice you can identify fastest, then fill the harder slots. If you have the percentile die and D20, for example, you already have two anchors for the set. Add the D4, D6, D8, D10, and D12 as you find them. This Dice Hoarder walkthrough recommends finishing one set before opening three half-built piles; partial piles make it harder to see what is actually missing.

Floppy Disks and Resin Crafting

Unlock Disk Powers Early

As the days pass, floppy disks begin to appear. Use them to unlock strange new powers that make your work easier. The two most useful effects are tracking the remaining dice needed to complete a set and pulling a needed die directly into your hand. Both cut down on the most tedious part of the job: walking the same shelves while hoping the last piece appears.

Disk effect	What it does	Best use
Track remaining dice	Locates dice still needed for a set	When six of seven pieces are ready and one is missing
Pull a needed die	Brings the die directly into your hand	When the missing piece is hard to find

Unlock these early. A Dice Hoarder walkthrough that ignores disks turns every missing die into a room-wide search; a walkthrough that uses them turns missing dice into a short detour. The disks are also part of the story. Who keeps leaving them for you is another question, and Story Mode gives you clues if you want the answer.

Craft Resin Dice to Fill Gaps

The shop can run low on stock, and that is where custom resin dice come in. Crafting lets you make dice to fill gaps in sets, so you are not stuck waiting for the perfect shelf find. Treat crafting as a patch: use it when one missing die blocks a complete set, not as a replacement for sorting the dice you already have. A practical Dice Hoarder walkthrough keeps sorting at the center and uses crafting to solve a specific problem.

Craft when a single missing die is stopping a set.
Search first when a whole shelf is still unsorted; a match may already be there.
Place the crafted die directly into the waiting set so it does not become loose clutter.
Keep the set’s material and color consistent, even when you are making a custom piece.

Resin dice give you room to be creative, but the game still rewards the same core habit: one die, one set, one slot. If you craft too early, you may spend time making a die that was already sitting behind a shelf. If you craft too late, you may stall a shift for no reason.

Story Mode vs. Chill Mode

Story Mode is for players who want the mystery. The next day begins only after you stock the required value, so progress is tied to stock, not time. Chill Mode is one uninterrupted, story-free organizing session. Neither mode adds a timer, so you can sort at your own pace.

Mode	Timers	Story	Best for
Story Mode	None	Clues, disks, and the employer mystery	Players who want progression and secrets
Chill Mode	None	None	Pure sorting without interruptions

Use Story Mode if you want to uncover why you were hired and what is hidden behind your new job. Use Chill Mode if you want to test sorting routes, enjoy the ambience, or just organize without story prompts. The game supports saving anytime, so save before a story prompt if you want to experiment. When a prompt asks you to sleep or investigate, save first; that way you can backtrack if you change your mind.

Story Mode also gives the floppy disks more context. Keep completing shifts, follow the clues left behind, and pay attention to the shop’s secrets. The cozy atmosphere stays intact, but there is a mild mystery thread underneath the sorting. If you prefer zero distractions, Chill Mode removes that thread and lets the dice be the whole game.

Accessibility, Achievements, and Comfort

Dice Hoarder includes accessibility options that do real work for a sorting game. Zoom makes dice larger on screen and easier to pick up. You can unlock a crouching ability to get closer to dice on the floor. The left panel shows material and color, so you can identify a die by reading the label. Color alternatives help when shades look alike, and the simplified UI toggle cuts screen clutter.

Setting	Benefit	When to use
Zoom	Makes dice larger and easier to pick up	Floor dice or small pieces
Crouch	Gets you closer to dice on the floor	After you unlock the ability
Material and color label	Lets you identify dice by reading	Similar colors or ambiguous shapes
Color alternatives	Helps distinguish colors	Color-blind players or low contrast
Simplified UI	Reduces screen clutter	When you want to focus on sorting
Dice rotation toggle	Stops inventory dice from rotating	When motion is distracting
FOV, head bob, and motion blur	Improves camera comfort	Headaches or motion sensitivity

Keyboard and controller rebinding, inverted controls, adjustable field of view, and an optional head bob are available. If the shop feels visually busy, turn on simplified UI and use zoom before you start a long sorting session. The game also has 16 Steam achievements, including tabletop-flavored names such as Roll for Initiative, Find Familiar, Gather Your Party, and Your First Cantrip. Check the in-game achievement list for exact requirements rather than guessing from the names.

A cat, magical dice, and a relaxing soundtrack round out the shop. Those details are pleasant, but they are also a reminder to slow down. Rushing causes mis-sorted sets, and mis-sorted sets cause repeat trips. Smooth sorting beats frantic sorting in every shift.
