General tricks and tipps
- By playing harder missions in contract or campaign mode you will encounter more and more recipes. To build the productions lines over and over again by hand is very time consuming, so i recommend using the blueprint mechanic for every meal you will 'cook'.

- Don't be afraid to take a break from this game during your setup. You can save your kitchen layout for each individual level and close the game. This will may come in handy for some achiements later too.

- If you want to test some things out to make your kitchens more efficient, use the test side. This is a wonderful playground.

- To get the 100% is a hard grind if you only play the game for this purpose. So like all games, try to find a way to make it at most enjoyable for you. If you don't like automatism games at all better look for other games to complete.
Can't Fail
As first the achievements you can't miss or can't be done any easyer.

Machine Learning Complete all 5 tutorial levels

This is a campaign achievement. You unlock it once you've done all 5 level that contain 'Tutorial' in their title. Listed as T1-T5. They're spread over the whole mission tree, so they are nor the first 5 missions you will play.

Native Machine Code Achieve 90% efficiency when successfully completing a campaign level

You unlock this achievement by default after you've done the second tutorial level.
If you want to this in the contracts mode, simply don't waste as less ingredients and energy as possible. Ceep in mind you need to do the tutorial and campaign missions anyway to get the 100%.

Overclocked Have a machine on fire

You will unlock this achievement in tutorial 4 by dedault. If you want to force it before you encounter this level, simply create a dead end for any ingrediants on a grill. So no robotic arm picking the food up.

Very little effort
Experimental Feature Create a Test Site kitchen

Simply click in the main menu on 'Test site' and create a new kitchen. The achievement should pop.

Commit and Push Publish a custom scenario to the Steam Workshop

For this you need to click on the 'Scenario Editor' and create your own mission for the steam community. Feel free to build a creative mission here for friends or other players.
If you just want the achievement create a level as easy as possible to make it fast.
For example:

Theme City(Small)
Info
Name: XX
description: XX
Objektives
Objektive 1: Deliver 1 dish
Budget: 50.000
Rushhour: no
Dishes
Dishes: Fries
Side dish1: none

Play this level once. Right after it, you can share it on steam. The achievement should pop then.


The grindy ones
This are the achievements that can take some time and require the most efford.

Making a Statement Complete 5 contracts on hard difficulty

For this one you need to play the contract mode. I recommend to combine it with the 'Trusted Source' achievement.

As it say you need to complete 5 level on hard difficulty. You can select the difficulty on the bottom right before you add a mission to your companies contracts.
A higher difficulty will usually increase the required orders, the energy you can use, the efficiency goal, but also the money you will get.

it's on your own skills to build them.

Trusted Source Reach 100% reputation in Contracts Mode

This is another one that you need to master with your own skills. Every completed contract will give you more reputation. Every disbanded or failed one less. You should be able to deal with all missions on your own after you played a fair amount if missions in the campaign. If you have problems to complete some level, feel free to look into other guides for processing lines or efficiency.
To help you at least a little bit, here are some suggestions and informations the game won't give you:

- If you complete a contract with the efficiency goal succeed you will get 8% reputation. With the efficiency goal failed 5%.
- You should avoid disbanding contracs unless you really need or want to. Disbanding a contract will result in -8% reputation.
- Never send a failed mission in. It will result in -10% reputation. You can try again, even later if you save your layout. If you don't feel making it, its at least better going back to the menue and disbanding it there.
- Try to build your setups as cheap as possible. Don't focus to much on efficiency as long you reach the efficiency goal. Its pretty hard to fail anyway, especially in the early missions.
- While you setup a build you can go above your current wallet as long you'll make + money after the mission succeed
- do at least a few missions on hard difficulty to unlock the 'Making a statement' achievement and get some money in reserve

Code Complete Complete all campaign levels

This is the achievement i making this guide for. It's very misleading and i see it false interpreted in every other guide i found so far.
So prepare for this exclusive and world changing informartion:

You don't need to complete ALL campaign levels.
ONLY level 30 and all levels that are leading towards it.

You don't even need to finish any of the side goals. Screw energy and ingreadient managment, those are absolutely unnessesary. At least for this achievement.

If you have problems to finish any specific missions (or if you just want to go lazy) i recomment just searching for it on youtube. I found guides for every mission so far, just by typing the missions title in the searchbar.

If you want to set your own goals thats fine. But unless you want to complete every single level with 100% efficiency, i also recomment to keep it simple. All the side tasks should be doable without using computers for programming etc.. In case you want to do the 100% efficiency run though, you won't be able to avoid programming. But thats not what this guide is showing you.
The cheeseble ones
These are the achievement you may not get during the campaign or the contract mode.
In case you missed them i will explain how to get them as easy as possible.

Bug Fixing Eradicate an insect infestation

An infestation will occur if you leave food for too long in storage units. If you want to force this to happen you can do it in any level that lists infestations under 'Risks', beneath the level objektives on the top right.



Simply set up like shown on the screenshot below. (Dispenser(Mushroom)->Robotic arm->Storage unit->X-Terminator 2000)



The level don't need to be completed for this. Just set it up like this, press start and the achievement should pop up before your reputation hits zero.

Malware Deliver a dish with salmonella

Salmonella will be spread by raw chicken. You will see it visually in many levels by the green dots that occur in your production line. All ingrediants that get in touch with the infested parts will be infested too. The bacteria will be killed if you frie or grill the infested ingrediants.

For this achievement whatsoever you need to infest a finished meal and bring it to your customers. To do so on purpose i recommend following build:


.
Keep in mind that the conveyor belt needs to be set on 2-1 speed. Otherwise the smart arm won't be fast enough.

The fries in my layout are just an example. Any dish will do, just set up what the mission tells you to.

You can also use an already completed campaign level. Just load your hopefully saved layout and add our nice little setup. An example for this would be my level 27:

.
After you have your setup complete just start the simulation. Don't worry about completing the mission. Dishes with salmonella will kill your reputation anyway. If the achievement pops, just stop, delete the salmonella parts and finish the mission like you wish.

Data Centre Successfully complete a campaign level using at least one Order Reader, one Counting Machine and one Repeater

If you like to complete level complicated, you may get this achievement anyway. If not, this is another misleading one. Other guides may encourage you to set up a very high IQ production line. With plot twist, adventure and love. But not here ladies and gentlemen. Here we will ceep it easy.

Let me show you my solution:



Thats right. They're just placed. As long you will complete the mission, you will see this absolute challenge of an achievement highlight your steam profile.

Jokes aside, i assume you include the order reader anyway in your builds. They are very very useful. If you don't care about the counting machine and the repeater to much like me, it's as simple as said before. Just make sure you place them.
