Tools fall into three jobs: pick potatoes up, peel them, and move batches between stations. Upgrade the job that is idle.
Manual peeler line
A published equipment list names this Cash sequence. You buy the next one after the one before it:
- Knife
- Swiss Knife
- Peeler
- Triple Peeler
- Hand Peeler
- Auto Peeler
The same list says only the Hand Peeler and the Auto Peeler have their own upgrade trees. The earlier tools are steps, not endgame sidegrades. The October 5, 2026 developer-product list also sold one-round versions of Swiss Knife, Peeler, Triple Peeler, Hand Peeler, and Auto Peeler. Those are skips, not a different stats table. Prices from that day are in the Robux shop guide.
Holding the peel input on a better manual tool is the dependable active speed while you are at the station. Reviewed footage shows later tools are not always available before the previous tier.
Hand Peeler at 2,500 peels
In multiple Roblox runs, the Hand Peeler machine becomes available around 2,500 peeled potatoes. You still load it, and you still crank it. Class write-ups say the Mechanic class cuts the cranks in half. That effect was not printed on the captured chance screen, so check the class card in your version.
A one-round Auto Peel product and a Peel all product were also on the October 5 store list. They are separate from owning the machine.
Auto Peeler
The Auto Peeler processes a queue without cranking. That makes it the better machine for a long batch. At base level it is slow. Upgrade its speed and peel amount, and keep collecting while it works.
Reviewed runs can point the Drone at the Auto Peeler so collection and peeling happen together. If the drone is still delivering to a station you are not using, the machine starves.
Mechanic write-ups say this machine peels twice as fast under that class. Treat the 2x figure as a reported card effect, not as a measured stopwatch result.
Pickup tools, short version
Hands, the bucket, the potato bag, the shovel, the Potato Vacuum, and the POT4TO-3000 all move potatoes off the mountain. The vacuum-style tools overheat. The full heat loop is in the pickup guide.
A practical split
- You, on the best manual peeler you own, for active Cash.
- Auto Peeler in the background once it is upgraded.
- Shovel or POT4TO-3000 on the pile, with a second tool ready when the first overheats.
- In co-op, one player collects and another peels so neither station sits empty.
Cash prices for these tools were not stable across the runs that were reviewed. Read the live shop label.
