Reaper's Outpost & Chips for Crops | Update #2

In this guide I will explain everything that is currently available on Reaper and the Chips he sells for your Crops!

Introduction: Who is Reaper?

Reaper is a new little robot introduced with the most recent Winter update.



By building an outpost on your farm for the cost of 100 Biofuel and 2000 Spare Parts, Reaper will be able to park his vehicle.



This character sells crop enhancement chips.



In case you don't like his offerings, you can re-roll what is available in his shop at no extra cost.

What are Chips for Crops?

Chips are similar to microprocessors that improve (or worsen) the statistics of your Crops, such as:

• Growth speed
  
• Biofuel produced
  
• Number of harvests
  
• Number of waterings
  
• Etc.

Chip Rarities

Chips can be of different rarities:

• Green, the most common: it comes with one positive and one negative statistic
  
  
  
• Blue, rare: occurs with only one positive statistic
  
  
  
• Orange, legendary: comes with two positive statistics
  
  
  
• White, unclassified: occurs with at least two positive statistics
  

What do they look like on Crops?

In the Crops section, all those on which a Chip has been installed will display a symbol in the bottom left-hand corner, next to the image of the Crop, with the colour relating to the rarity of the Chip.



When purchasing, if a Crop already has a Chip applied, you will be presented with the modified statistics compared.



If, on the other hand, there is still no chip applied, the crop will be completely empty.



Please bear in mind that Chips are not cumulative!
If you purchase a Chip on a Crop that already has an upgrade, regardless of its rarity, the previous one will be replaced!

White Rarity

What is this white rarity?
No one yet has a definite answer.

We do know, however, that it is a rarity beyond Legendary.
It comes in the colour white, it does not yet have a dedicated Achievement on Steam and, when it appears in Reaper's shop, it is the only one that shines.



Its price is very high, far higher than its Legendary counterparts, but the stats it modifies are far better.

Purchasing Strategy

Chips are to be considered as an almost End-Game mechanic given their very high prices.

Green rarity Chips are the cheapest and can be purchased at any point in the game, though I suggest not wasting your resources on these Chips, except to complete the corresponding achievement.

If you have enough money, buy the Blue Chips directly, and then upgrade to the Orange (Legendary) ones as soon as you have the chance.

Therefore, if the presented offer does not satisfy you, press ‘Reroll’ and wait 12 minutes.
Please note that there is no charge for the reroll!

Stats

This section will guide you through the comparison of statistics, showing you which one to prioritise.

• - Spare parts: Cost per plant [yellow circle]
  
• + Biofuel: Biofuel earned after shipping harvested plant [green container]
  
• - Grow time: Minimum time to harvest (soil must be wet to count) [yellow clock]
  
• - Water: Number of waterings required to harvest [blue droplet]
  
• + Harvests: Number of times the plant can regrow [purple cycling arrows]
  
• + Earnings: Spare parts earned after harvest [yellow circle w/ white arrow]

Note: In the shop, these stats are also highlighted green when beneficial and are otherwise red.

Special thanks to Mike Maniac for providing the entire community with the necessary information for this part of the guide.

New Achievements

With the new update, in addition to Reaper, new Achievements also appeared to be completed.

Below are only those related to Reaper:
I have also blacked out the descriptions to avoid spoiling the surprise

Credits

This was my first ever written guide on Steam.
I hope it has been useful to you.

Obviously I will try to keep it updated over time, also based on official news and any comments you may have.

Happy gaming to all :]

Very helpful, thank you!

Suggestion: Change the pending "Stats Priority" section to "Stats" and start off with listing the good ones.

I think this would be right? (order based on in-game Legend)

* - Spare parts: Cost per plant [yellow circle]
*+ Biofuel: Biofuel earned after shipping harvested plant [green container]
* - Grow time: Minimum time to harvest (soil must be wet to count) [yellow clock]
* - Water: Number of waterings required to harvest [blue droplet]
* + Harvests: Number of times the plant can regrow [purple cycling arrows]
* + Earnings: Spare parts earned after harvest [yellow circle w/ white arrow]

Note: In the shop, these stats are also highlighted green when beneficial and are otherwise red.

I don't know if this was intended but you enabled editing permissions for anyone.
I edited the name of the "Chip Calcutor" Tab to "Chip Calculator"
Thank you for the spreadsheet though. I thought to categorize them like this:
- Green: Common
- Blue: Rare
- Gold: Legendary
- Platin: Mythic?

I have all editing permissions enabled. Please feel free to modify it. I have a backup :)

Hey @kuomartin715, thanks for sharing your GSheet!
I was in the process of creating one myself.

If you agree I will add it to the guide resources and if you allow me to edit it I will add the information I have so we have one repository :)

Thanks again!
