Greetings to all humans unbeknown to me. I believe you want to understand your feline friends to the fullest, thus I have compiled this collection of wisdom I gained while my human persued the goal of fully understanding my humble gestures.


My human has since gone about other interests and hardly even talks to me anymore, except for those rare occasions when it wants cuddles or treats me with kittysnacks. But I am in need for propper conversation and an intellectual challenge, hence I present this wisdom to you, so that maybe someday I will meet a more suitable specimen to converse with than my current iteration of... h. sapiens.

The first thing to do is to follow the main storyline path without buying anything from C-Bay to unlock "The Scrooge". We don't need to get gold to get there. Getting gold can be done after buying the upgrades when we have unlocked "The Scrooge".
There will be some missing funds from not getting gold on first attempt, but this can easily be compensated with startups.

Complete the first level
Second node on the path, Expert Systems.
At this point I thought my human was going completely nuts.

Pass the "Ancient" epoch
Eighth node on the path, after Illuminati Origins.
Didn't seem so crazy anymore. At least he knew I existed now. Duh!

Pass the "First Steps" epoch
Twentysecond node on the path, after President Elections.
Cats don't smile. Try harder.

Pass the "First Success" epoch
Thirtysecond node on the path, after Fast Date Sorting.
What a party, everybody came to visit me.

Pass the "Neural Networks" epoch
Thirtyseventh node on the path, after Recommendation System.
I had to come up with something easy for this human's little mind to understand...

Pass the "Deep Neural Networks" epoch
Fourtysecond node on the path, after Video Games Reviews.
For the sake of savescumming, my human created a savegame here. No more kittysnacks, I thought.

Finish all the tasks on main trunk
Fourtythird and final node on the path.
I had a dream.

Are you a cheater?
If you haven't screwed up, this should unlock now.
If you screwed up, start a new game and choose RNN as your starting point. Don't buy upgrades, do the last few puzzles and unlock it.

These achievements can easily be unlocked while going through the story without excluding The Scrooge from getting unlocked at the end.

One more!
I'm not sure actually. My human kept poking at his computer screen and random stuff on his desk when this happened.

Join the startup
My human invested in a pizza shack and then tried the same algorithm on me, that he used to check if pizzas were round. My geometry is more complicated than that.

Read all personal mail
This will become available before passing the "First Success" Epoch. Why did he even read those? Oh, free money... offcourse!

Complete a task with unlocked trashcan without it
Several tasks require you to trash elements. Just let the last filter's buffer fill up instead of trashing the elements in a task with only a few elements to trash. *HINT* See next achievement.

Complete a task with not fully trained node
This one can be done very early with perceptrons. *HINT* These require a fresh puzzle and only work if you have not previously completed the puzzle during the same playthrough.

These achievements will most likely ruin your playthrough to get The Scrooge, so they are best to be gotten afterwards or seperately.
Some will need you to have progressed very far towards the end on the main storyline to unlock the purchase options on C-Bay.
You will most likely not have enough money to get all of these in one playthrough. I plan on making a startup guide to make this possible for you too.

Buy a PC upgrade
Always the cheapest they can get... these humans.

Buy a node
Now that's an investment.

Buy an interior
Can I play with it?

Buy clothes for a cat
Keep that thing away from me!

Purchase all PC upgrades in one walkthrough
All the riches!

Purchase all nodes at the shop in one walkthrough
Not that many, actually.

Purchase all interior items in one walkthrough
So much stuff, I keep throwing them over when patrolling the desk.

Purchase all items for the kitty in one walkthrough
Yeah right. You get used to it after some time.

UPS is a cool thing
My human played each tambourine available until the gods of thunder got angry. Sometimes I wish he were really destroyed in the process.

Get a loan
Be really low on cash and totally screw up a task by having a very high running cost. My human once had to take a loan because he tried to to solve a simple decision with 100 balancers and a few decision trees.
Warning: Should you try this, make a manual savegame first, as the loan might mess up your autosave.

These Achievements are for the harder puzzles. They are easiest to be solved when all upgrades and nodes have been bought.

Better than developer
Have a very good solution to a puzzle. My human said this was his masterpiece. I think he's lying. Proof is needed.






Today another one of those big-brain humans came along. "I obtained Overmind when using fewer nodes than the maximum allowed for a gold medal", it said. It said it's name was Aaron. I cuddled and purred as hard as I could, it wouldn't take me with it.

Complete all tasks with real RL
There are five Tasks named RL-0 to RL-4 that have to be completed for this. Yes, cat's need fast transportation too. Not just carrying around.

Pong
It's a secret. Psst, cats can recieve distress signals from outer space. Apparently they used cat brains as prototypes for extraterrestrial surface survey rovers asking if Major Tom could hear them.
Thanks to Fierkun: Complete the Major Tom task in gold within 8 minutes, when playing the level for the first time on a "fresh playthrough" (RNN start is recommended)

Complete all tasks with a Gold rating
I recommend this pictured guide.
Some humans prefer the video, I don't know why.

Complete all tasks in the game
My human got this after completing everything else in gold and watched the gold version of the final comic. He said it was unfair as others got it for less work. I guess my human just isn't that smart.

Receive a promotional kitty
Enter a promotional code in the pause menu (hit escape).
You don't have a code? Check out this discussion and choose to your liking.

Where the hell is that 'any key'?
Halloween Achievement. Play when your computer thinks it's time for helloween.
My human's computer was already hyped for helloween on the 4th of October, even though it's at the end of the month. Computers are so similar to their humans.

Catty Holidays! Happy Catidays!
Xmas Achievement. Play when your computer thinks it's 24th of December.
Unconfirmed: Other days towards the end of the year might also work.

Both Ho Ho Ho and Horrible nightmare can be unlocked by setting the date of your computer to the respective holiday.

Well my friend, I see you are also just one of those who want cuddles and feed me unhealthy kittysnacks. I am so dissap....
Wait, is that a red dot on the floor?
If the guide has been helpful to you, you might want to give it a like ;-).
