Ok - before launching forward and going for the achievements, here are some general hints, tips, and simple advice to help you along and make things easier.
Also, it should be noted that this guide is not a tutorial or full walkthrough. This guide assumes that you, as a player, already know how to play and that you have some measure of experience with the game.

1. Don't achievement hunt until you finish the game via natural progression. Natural progression through the game will automatically unlock many of the items you would normally have to buy from the upgrade bench thanks to ranking up.

2. Caps - unless you're trying to acquire the "Cap Hoarder" achievements, spend those babies once you get 'em! Caps in your inventory are useless; upgrades to your suit and weapons however, will help you survive longer. Spend that money.

3. Try to generally play in sectors with a several rare items. Once you reach the point where you can install scanners, search for random sectors that display 2 or more rare or ultra rare cargo types. Even if you already have those particular types of cargo, the more rare cargo you have is the more cash you have to burn on parcels, and trust me - you're going to need lots of it.

4. Journey mode: A great asset. While you are confined to one sector for longer, if you choose a sector with good loot, it can be very advantageous. Journey mode has no scroungers, longer active times for containers (before they naturally implode) and well dispersed upgrade and console stations. Use outer space to your advantage by drilling open walls level with walking mutants and let them drift gently out into space for easy cap collection.

5. Work Days: They naturally end either when you manually end them via the navigation console or when you die. For quick work days, activate your magnet to pull in your 1st wave, go collect at least one cargo piece, return home, and then manually end the work day. Work days only count when some measure of points are scored so get the fewest that you can and then be done. Useful when trying to acquire parcels (after they've been "delivered" to you).

Note: All of the below listed achievements can be obtained by naturally progressing through the game at a normal pace. Any lack of acquisition is likely due to a deficit of playtime or focus on certain tasks.

Let's Begin!

!SPOILER WARNING!
The few remaining achievements are hidden from normal view and considered either fun tidbits to be discovered or alternatively, related to the plot and the end of the game. Read ahead with that in mind.


That's all of the achievements. I hope this has helped - thanks for reading and thanks for enjoying a great game! Happy hunting.
