Upgrades in Potato Please

Nine printed costs, from the Rusty Knife at 0.30 through the Claw Crane at 2,100.

Upgrades in Potato Please progress from inexpensive replacement blades at the manual counter to workbench expansion, hand-cranked and motorized peeling drums, sack transport rigging, outdoor crane loading, and full drum overclocking. The nine priced entries below cover the complete printed cost table in sequence order and ascending price order.

Currency

The column shows in-game shift currency rather than a real-money store price. Early knife replacements use decimal amounts (0.30 and 2.70), workbench and first drum steps move into double digits (12 and 20), mid-shift automation sits at 280, and heavy yard equipment climbs from 1,250 to 2,100.

Other names

Destructoid also names Peeler, Streak Bonus, and Winter Coat, while the journal skill and potato vacuum screenshots show additional shift perks and tools that do not carry a printed price row in the nine-item table.
