1) Great Build
So the first achievement is very simple.
Build 10 buildings at once
All you need to do is build 10 building at the same time. The best way to do that, is to pause the game, and construct the building. It is recommended to use 10 small and cheap building, such as open fields. After you place them all, just resume the game again. and you got the achievement.
Note: you can achieve this at the very beginning of the game, right after you locate your warehouse(AKA first storage).
2) Well, you're a builder
Another easy achievement.
Destroy 10 buildings in a row
Simple as it sounds, just pause the game, and demolish 10 buildings at once. Resume the game, and you got the achievement.
Note: you do not need to remove the debris from the demolished building.
3) Fireman
Best to achieve in specific condition
Save 20 buildings from fire
So there are two ways to achieve this one:
1) By disasters.
2) By lack of maintenance.

Explanation for the first one
The first way to achieve this goal is much more quick, but can be done only after the tutorial phase(this phase is skipable). There are 2 disasters which fire can start in. Hot days(obviously), and Thunderstorms(Lightning rods can catch on fire).
Just make sure you got enough maintenance in your cities, so you can save the burning buildings. After a disaster or two(Depends on the number of cities, and the number of building in each one), you got this achievement!
Explanation for the second one
A lack of maintenance can cause building to set of fire, but remember, you will need soon enough to get the maintenance level up again. Not a recommended way to achieve this one, but still works.
4) Businessman
It take time to achieve this one
Earn 50000¢
To achieve this one, you need to make 50000¢, by bridges, trading portal, shuttles, offices and banks. You don't need to have that amount in cash. Don't try and calculate exactly how much you earned each day, just keep playing in the same save for a time.
5) Student 6) Teacher 8) Genius
Student
Complete 25% of all researches


eacher
Complete 50% of all researches


Genius
Complete 100% of all researches


I combine those 3 achievements together, because of their similarity. Just start with the first tier of course, so you can get the first achievement. The second and third tier take very long time to research, so make sure your education level is high(You can use schools to boost it). If you want to speed the research, you can always invest 2500c to boost one city research for 3 days(You can boost more than one city simultaneously).
7) Village
This is a tricky one
More agrarian drones count than ordinary
Agrarian drones can move only food products, and at larger capacity
So to build agrarian drones, you need a specific third tier research, and by the time you get them you most likely reached the max count of regular cargo drones. In that case, you need to get rid from a few cargo drones. Just wait for a thunderstorm to destroy them, and don't rebuild the regular drones immediately, instead, keep building agrarian drones. After you completed the achievement, rebuild the cargo drones back to the max level.
9) Contamination
not recommended to achieve this in your main save
Critically low ecology
You need to get your ecology level below 30%. The best way to do so, is by building 3 nuclear power plants, and not having any building that rises the ecology(Like air purifiers, gardens, etc...)
Note: Your manpower will drop, and many people try to leave the city.
10) Orbital visit
Very simple
The moment when two warehouses arrive at once
Right after you landed your first warehouse, land another one on a second cliff, they need to land at the same time. That's all.
11) New generation
Take some time to accomplish this one
Reach 200 newborn on Earth
Just keep a healthy society in your cities. If you want to boost your births, you can always declare a new rule in the parliament. Remember to always have spare housing space, and high level of medical treatment.
12) Bada Boom
very dangerous you your city
The explosion of the nuclear power plant
Let a nuclear power plant get on fire until it explodes. You can do so by low maintenance, or by reactivating it during an earthquake.
Note: When the power plant explodes, it will destroy its surrounding building as well!
13) Push to limit
need resources of every kind
Fully load trading barge
Make sure you got spare resources of every single kind(including debris), set your trading portal to the highest priority, and make a one time sell of 30 for all the resources. Wait for 8 AM(When the trading platform arrives). Your drones will load everything, and you got this achievement. Make sure you got a lot of drones as well.
14) Alive again
Can be accomplish only in the late game
Defrost 2000 people
After you unlock the orbital station, keep defrosting people. You need to defrost every single capsule to get this goal. It takes a large quantity of resources.
15) Camping
only achievable after you unlock the Ice Citadel
Walk from city to the mountains in Ice Citadel
In the ice Citadel, switch to first person view(TAB key), and start walking toward the mountains around the city, keep it up in the lake direction. After you got to the mountain, you get the achievement.
16) Flying lemon
Not exactly how it sounds
Fly by personal transport when all your cities have a 1000000¢ in total
After you have one million currency in all your cities together, construct a personal villa/ after that, switch to a first person view(TAB), and get into the drone of the villa, fly a bit around, and you got this one.
17) Conqueror of heights
Super simple one
Get up by elevator of entertainment center
All you need for this one, is one entertainment center. After you build it, switch to first person view(TAB), search around it for the elevator, and get into it by just walking inside. And here you go.
18) We will survive
This one take time and progress to complete
Reach 7000 population on Earth
There is no chance to reach 7000 people on the 3 cliffs altogether. So continue playing until you reach the Ice Citadel, in which you got huge building space. Make sure you got enough housing for all the citizens from the orbital station(So they can relocate to the Ice Citadel). After your orbital station is empty, you most likely have enough people on earth in your 3 cliffs and the citadel together. If not, boost up the birth rate in the citadel until you reach this
19) Trading hub
Easy to understand,hard to accomplish
Build 4 trading portals on any cliff
You need to build 4 portals on the same cliff. The ice citadel doesn't count in this achievement! Just demolish some building for them, and after the 4 of them are constructed, you will achieve this. no need to load them at all
20) Defender
Very hard to achieve
Survive 20 waves of Marauders
The only game mode you can get this achievement in, is Tower Defense. Every 30 minutes(In regular game speed) a new wave of marauders will approach your cities, And they will get stronger each wave... Build defenses from the very befogging of the game. Build at least 2 battery station and 2 matter mines.
Note:After the 16th wave, you don't need to bother about rebuilding the city. Just relax and let them attack in the last 4 wave left for the achievement.

What you can do for the Village achiement is to sell drones around. If a thunderstorm has destroyed 2 to 3 cargo drones on each cliff, you can move cargo drones from cliff to cliff, so your chosen cliff now misses 6-9 cargo drones. Of course this achievement is much easier if one cliff is not yet developed when you unlock the required tech.

On the Trading hub, what do you need to accomplish to get that to open up? I only have the last 3 achievements to accomplish. And for some reason, it thinks I need to do something else to even make the Trading hub an option.

> I didn't even know my guide is published in this website...

Hmm, I did suspect that. But at least it credits you, as a steam user, so I tracked back to this community hub. Where I should have looked to start with, perhaps. Thanks for writing it anyway. it helped with other hidden achievements I was after. :bigups:

ZeroGravitas, to be honest, I didn't even know my guide is published in this website...
In any case, most of the achievements can be completed in more than one way "All roads lead to Rome". I wrote the simplest and quickest way I found for each one of the achievements

For "Village" (7): Lightning doesn't kill many drones. (Not now at least, in Feb 2021.) One storm event took out no more than 10 drones, total, from my 3 end game cliffs combined (with zero lightning rods). So it would probably take half a dozen events to reduce my drone numbers enough. That's many, many hours at 6x speed, with other problems that would crop up from other events, etc.

So, the only reasonable way to do this achievement is when you first unlock location 5 (Ice Citadel). At this point one should have agrarian drones researched (3rd tier science) and no pile of cargo drones built up there.

That's how I just did it, anyway. But it required me going back to an old save I'd manually archived!
