NOTE: If you want more detailed information on activating New Game Plus mode, then refer to this guide: How To Activate New Game Plus Mode & Location Of REMIX.R.
Yoking Station
Once you are in New Game Plus mode, you need to first unlock the Yoking Upgrades in the Tech Chip Science Shop. It requires 25000 Raw Science.
After getting Yoking Upgrades, you need the following items to actually make the Yoking Station:
- 5x Supreme Whetstone
- 10x Supreme Plating
- 5x DeDuper Jelly
- 1x Broodmother Infused Ooze
To get DeDuper Jelly, go to the Super Duper machine and swap to De-Duper mode. Now, De-Dupe Trinkets and Science Crinkles to get DeDuper Jelly.
And to obtain Broodmother Infused Ooze, you need to defeat the Infused Hedge Broodmother. New Game Plus introduces a lot of different Infused Creatures which are much harder to beat compared to their normal forms.
Fusion Upgrades
After putting down a Yoking Station, you can upgrade your weapons past level 9 to make them even stronger. But you are going to need Fusion Crystals for that.
To get Fusion Crystals, you need to analyze Infused Ooze which you obtain from killing Infused Creatures. Now, those Fusion Crystals are pretty hard to obtain, and this is going to be a huge grind so be prepared.

The Fully Yoked update brings quite a decent number of new weapons to play with but some of them require you to get to the end of the game and get New Game Plus 3 times.
