Chop Chop Compendium

Chop Chop Inc. is NullRef Entertainment's lumberjack automation game — chop, process, craft, sell, reinvest — released August 7, 2026 at $12.99 and holding a Very Positive Steam rating near ninety percent. It looks like a cosy idle game and plays like a factory sim with an unusually sharp sense of humour: players report ten to seventeen hours for a run, and the studio shipped nine hotfixes in its first week alone.

Start with the walkthrough for the real progression chain, then automation — the system the whole mid-game hangs on, and meaningfully faster since Hotfix 4 doubled harvester speed. The stone tree page settles the question half the community asked in week one, and the mysterious well covers the other one.

One warning worth repeating everywhere: the game has a single save slot, and New Game overwrites it without asking. People have lost twenty-hour runs to a misclick. Errors and fixes explains how to protect your save until a confirmation prompt ships — read it before your first long session, not after.

Everything here is checked against the official hotfix notes and the live build, with a Last checked date on every page. When the answer to something is still unknown, we say so instead of guessing.
