Casual Playthrough Achievements
These achievements can all be completed on the same playthrough.

Fore!
Feed Onbu with the Onbu Feeding Trebuchet


Just research, build then use the feeding trebuchet with onbu food.


Petting Zoo
Pet Onbu


After both the onbu doctor and pet onbu options have been researched, you will be able to pet onbu form the onbu doctor building.


Berry Good
Achieve 100% efficiency with a Berry Gatherer


This achievement can take a while but is easy to do. Berries spawn throughout the game and always on the grass, because of this you can control where you want them to spawn if you want to get this achievement faster. I will usually setup a berry system like the following if planning to do a long run of the game so you can have more space for farms(X=Berry Gatherer, O=Berry bush/Berry bush spawn)
XOOOX
XOOOX (can flip this as well to make it a horizontal setup)
XOOOX
3 spaces is generally the best since after 4 spaces, the range off the gatherer drops off quite fast.


Doki Doki Waku Waku
Get Onbu's heartrate to go above 6 bpm


Just make Onbu run for a little and this bpm will steadily increase. The bpm meter is just above the time and day on the top right.


Unfortunate Son
Lose a villager on a scavenging mission


Just keep picking the option that has the most likely chance of losing a villager and you will eventually get this.


Parasite
Produce Black Pudding


After doing the research needed for this, you can make this in the kitchen with onbu blood.


Spa Day
Pet, feed, heal and detox Onbu within one day


Should build 3 onbu doctors, 1 each for pet, heal and detox. When 2 doctors have the herbs ready as well as the trebuchet being ready, wait till the time hits 00:00 then pause the game and use all the required abilities from each building. They all should deploy one after the other with time to spare.


Full Body Shave
Cut down every tree on Onbu’s back
Cut every tree including saplings and mothertrees.


The Wandering City
Reach a population of at least 200 villagers


Here is a list of the following recommendations to help you get this.
  • The only productivity stats that actually matter are hungry and poisoned as they can lead to starving and badly poisoned respectively, which can then lead to death. This can usually start a domino effect if not dealt with quickly.
  • Avoid storms as much as possible with high trust, as there is no repair all option so manually doing it one by one can be tedious.
  • Try to put as many buildings on the dirt as possible to save room for farms/berry gatherers.
  • Stone is very hard to come by late game so scavenge every quarry you can, unless you build the deep quarry which loses trust with onbu.
  • Do not put all the farms in one area and instead spread it out so villagers do not need to travel far to get fed. *note - food stands don't seem to work too well at higher populations no matter how many carriers you set
  • Use the above point for buildings such as decontaminator and village doctor
  • Build more water wells than water tanks since they will not always be carried to the water tanks and wells will be full continuously, whereas tanks are mostly empty.
  • Don't feel like you have to try and get new villagers at every opportunity, take it nice and slow so you know how much food you have without overextending yourself.


The Wandering Metropolis
Reach a population of at least 500 villagers
Follow same advice as previous achievement and should get this achievement in due time.


TOTAL: 10 Achievements
100 Day Achievements
I recommend doing these in 3 separate playthroughs as it can get quite difficulty.

Master Gatherer
Survive until day 100 without building any Farms


Can still build a mycologist and a herbalist. Multiple of the berry gatherers are your best friend here to get a lot of food and new spawns happen often.


Strict Diet
Survive until day 100 while using the Onbu Feeding Trebuchet a maximum of 3 times


Recommend doing this in the same playthrough as the above achievement as these 2 are the easiest in my opinion. The best way to get this, is to first get the main research needed for running through deserts then focusing on getting the food liquefier and feeding pump since this does not go towards the achievement. Will only need to use the food trebuchet once, maybe twice while waiting for the research and building.


Dry Spell
Survive until day 100 without building any Air Wells


This is actually a little harder than you might first think. This basically limits to only getting water from the desert biome. Make sure to use plenty of cactus farms and send scavengers to the oasis whenever possible. Use water tanks to stockpile as much as you can and once again use berries for food. You will need the water for herbs and mushrooms so try not to use it on other farms that will require water.


Agricultural Revolution
Survive until day 100 without harvesting any Berries


Honestly this achievement is a bit annoying, I have done multiple playthroughs so I can confirm that this means even clicking the sickle to get rid of the berry bush will not work. Placing buildings on top of the bushes also will just harvest the bush before the building is placed so that does not work either. This also includes farms when adding plots, make sure not to overlap it with any position the berry bush is in.

Only way I can suggest doing this is having a setup in mind really early game and using a cheap building, such as a hut, as a placeholder so that berries do not grow in those locations. Build most of your buildings in the dirt sections and only place the farms and herbalist on the grass since they are the only buildings that need to be in those spots.


TOTAL: 4 Achievements
Hidden Achievements
The hidden achievements all involve building the monument that will unlock when finding the dead onbu. Only 1 monument will unlock for each playthrough. I recommend making a save at day 50-75ish, and strive to get each monument from that save.

Monumental
Build the Survival Monument


Probably the easiest monument to get, you will most likely get this monument on your first playthrough. You get it by not fulfilling the requirements needed for the other 2 monuments described below.


Our Friend and Protector
Build the Onbu Monument


To get this monument I recommend the following:
  • Get high trust with Onbu, the more Onbu wags their tail the more they trust you. This includes feeding, curing and giving antidotes to Onbu whenever you can.
  • 100% productivity or lower.
  • No damaged buildings


The Light of Human Intellect
Build the Villager Monument


To get this monument I recommend the following:
  • Have neutral to low trust with Onbu, can harvest spikes and use buildings that lower trust (bile and blood harvestors must be used at least once). I do not recommend getting to low trust, instead keep it at neutral, this way your buildings to not get destroyed by Onbu.
  • 120% productivity or higher, easier with a lower population.
  • 2 or more damaged buildings, I would try and get tornados/storms to do this and can use 'Tents' as fodder.
  • If at any point Onbu wags their tail during the 100 days, the run will not give this monument.

Agricultural Revolution achievement is survive 30 days without letting a villager eat any berries.
Now I am playing on xbox so maybe the achievie is different, but my understanding is just forbid your villagers from eating raw berries (am not sure if cooked counts or not). But you should be able to harvest them to get them out of the way, right?

Any plans to update this guide to add the new achievements and changes to old ones?

It worked! Onbu just needs to not trust you, and your villagers need to be at 18 Happiness or higher (I got mine to 21, just to be sure). Run any extra festivities you can right after you go through the poison forest just before you find the dead Onbu, and you should be good to go. (Seriously, this post https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3286729960 needs more thumbs up and awards. I'd still be pulling my hair out about this otherwise.)

Just found this other guide: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3286729960

Productivity is now Happiness, and it needs to be above 18 when you trigger the event. The spore cloud gives you -3, and always happens right before you find the dead Onbu, so make sure you have your villagers above 21 Happiness and the Villager monument should trigger.

Going to try this now and will report back if that doesn't work.

For "The Light of Human Intellect", do you have to rip a bunch of spines out at the VERY beginning? Because I've been following all the pointers and I keep getting the Survival Monument and not the Villager Monument.

I build the blood and bile extractors (use only for a very short while). I rip out spikes occasionally. I don't use the punishment unless it's to steer him away from a bad path (or onto the path so I can get the event). He's starving most of the time, his head is low. I'm tired of abusing my Onbu and not getting the achievement! ;-;

What am I missing? And what is this "productivity" people keep mentioning? Because all I see is villager needs and happiness. I keep my villagers super happy, build decoration, but I don't go crazy with fancy kitchens and such. I keep it to around 75 people. I build what I need to get to day 100 and the event.

Do I not need to do ANY Onbu research at all? What if he goes the wrong way and starves? I don't want to start all over AGAIN!

For the berry thing I just cleared the forest and put pathway squares around the berries

Can anyone help me figure out how to get 100% efficiency of berry gatherer? I only need the 'Berry Good' achievement. I'm playing the latest 2024 version. It doesn't even show the percentage of efficiency on the berry gatherer's window.
SolarDwagon 21 Nov, 2024 @ 2:33am 
With the recent changes, do you know what the equivalent to "productivity" is for the hidden achievements?
RDL 3 Jun, 2024 @ 11:36am 
Our Friend and Protector, - now after parasite update, i needed to get rid of flees, to get that achievement. So seems you need to get rid of all parasites to get achievement.

I've been trying to get the monument achievements for a while, now. On reflection, I think the reason I hadn't managed to get Human Intellect on my recent playthrough is because the check happens right near the dead onbu, and I forgot to account for the -3 to happiness from the spore cloud itself, which brought me below the minimum productivity of 120.
