Welcome to the Idle Chips Tycoon, a simulation management game where you can excavate potato fields with your excavator. After excavation, use transport vehicles to move the raw materials to your processing plant. The processing plant will perform a series of operations such as cleaning, peeling, slicing, and frying before packaging the final potato chips for sale. Source of Cash: In the game, our main source of income comes from selling different types of potato chips, and we can use cash to upgrade our buildings, significantly increasing the efficiency of our factory. As a result, our factory's revenue can increase step by step, leading to its growth! Source of Diamonds: Completing certain tasks can earn you a small amount of diamonds. Are you ready to establish your own potato chip factory?
