Our guidance

How do I increase the amount of coins I earn while sorting parts?

To maximize your earnings, focus on sorting parts quickly and accurately. Maintaining a consistent streak without making any mistakes will trigger a multiplier, significantly increasing the number of coins you receive for your sorting efforts.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What is the best way to handle golden parts when they appear?

Keep a close watch for golden parts that occasionally fall out of crates. These special items are highly valuable, as they are worth 20 times as much as a standard part, providing a significant boost to your coin total.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How can I automate the workshop to reduce manual labor?

You can transition from manual sorting to automation by purchasing the helper arm and the auto hopper from the blackboard. These machines allow the workshop to run on its own, letting you focus on grabbing parts by the handful.

Source facts

What types of items will the neighbors bring in for repair?

Neighbors will bring a variety of household items to your workshop, including radios, clocks, toasters, and music boxes. You must collect the specific parts requested for each order to complete the repair and receive your payout.

Source facts

What are the limitations of the browser-based demo version?

The free browser demo allows you to play through the first 25 orders. Additionally, the upgrades available in the demo version are capped, meaning you cannot access the full range of improvements found in the Windows download.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Do parts ever roll off the workbench and become unreachable?

No, the workbench uses real physics, but parts are designed to tumble and pile up without ever rolling out of reach. This ensures you can always access the components you need to complete your repair orders.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What is the primary goal when starting a new session?

You begin with just one crate and your bare hands. Your goal is to sort parts into their correct trays to fix orders, earn coins, and eventually purchase upgrades that transform your messy workshop into an efficient, self-sorting space.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

Are there any permanent benefits to completing workshop levels?

Yes, completing workshop levels provides a permanent coin bonus. This bonus helps you accumulate wealth faster, allowing you to purchase the 11 available upgrades more quickly as you work toward completing all 80 orders.
