Hey,

Just a quick guide to reveal what all the secret achievements in this game are, for easy look-up.
None of these achievements are particularly difficult to complete, but might take some time.

Cheerio!

"Complete the Tutorial"


If you skipped the tutorial at the start of the game, you can wait until you receive a new training-ship, which will happen when you unlock Class II reactors, or Power Distributors; These apparently count towards this achievement as well.

"Complete Act I of the campaign."


Triggers sometime around the time you learn that there is an inspector coming to inspect your crew.

"Complete Act II of the campaign."


Triggers sometime around Lou being "fired" by Hal, which happens after Kaito has a talk with Hal because of his bad performance.
Seems to happen around certification rank 20.

"Complete Act III of the campaign."

Achieved when you watch the ending cinematic after you've paid off your debt and restored Beulah (the ship from Weaver). This happens after you have performed the industrial sabotage mission, and then terminated your contract with Lynx.
I finished this at certification rank 25.

For these three following achievements, you just have to make sure you reach the final salvage goal in a salvage. Careful salvage should make this pretty easy, just don't go blowing up any reactors and you should be fine.

"Complete all Salvage Goals on an Atlas Class Ship."


"Complete all Salvage Goals on a Javelin Class Ship."


"Complete all Salvage Goals on a Gecko Class Ship."

"Unlock Demo Charges."


If you manage to miss this one, I'll be impressed. Demo Charges can be unlocked at certification 11.

"Finding the Hidden Data Drive"


This data drive is strapped to be underside of the Master Jack, where the door to your hab is. Use the scanner (T) if you have trouble finding it.

"Collect a Bunny stuffed-animal"


I believe this is a random spawn. I got one very early on.

In the 1.1 update, 17 new achievements were added. 9/10 of these are completely trivial, so we'll just quickly go over them here. Note that some of the story-related achievements can be impossible to get on saves that predate the update.

"Collect a Poster"

Pick up any poster. Usually found in cockpits, bedrooms, or the like.

"Receive Fire Damage"

Receive fire damage. Overheating your laser cutter will do that to ya.

"Receive Cold damage"

Receive Cold damage. At around level 10 you unlock hazard 6 ships, which include components that deal cold damage: Coolant pipes or coolant tanks. Damage either and place yourself in the cold gas for a moment.

"Receive Electricity damage"

Anything with an electrical component that you can damage: Computers, reactors, power junctions, anything like that can electrocute you. Stop putting forks in things!

"Recharge O2"

If you're playing with unlimited oxygen, smack your head against something to cause an oxygen leak. Either pick up an oxygen canister or purchase an oxygen refill at the master jack to unlock.

"Use a suit patch kit"

Buy or find a suit patch kit after taking any kind of damage. Slamming yourself against something to cause damage is probably easiest.

"Repair a Tool"

Repair kits can be bought or found during salvage, and used at the workstation.

"Destroy an AI node"

Destroy an AI node. At around cutter rank 16 you unlock ghost ships, which contain a number of red nodes. Using your laser cutter on them or throwing them into the furnace will destroy them. Can be located using your scanner.

"Successfully salvage a Reactor"

Salvage any reactor. It's possible that, if your save predates this title update, you will already have the flag for having salvaged a reactor and thus will not get the Steam achievement when you do so. To circumvent this, simply start a new campaign (different shift mode) and salvage any reactor of any level.

"Collect a Credit Drive"

Can be hard to spot, use your scanner (T) to locate objects (blue). It's probably quicker to search larger ships such as Javelins with many storage areas.


Again, if your save predates this title update, you may have already gotten the flag required for obtaining these achievements, and you will need to start a new campaign to get them. In this section, there are two mutually exclusive achievements ("Disagree and Commit" and "Solidarity Forever") that are possible to complete in one playthrough, so read on.

"Gain one repair level on the ship doctor"

At cutter rank 8 Weaver will gift you his old, broken spaceship. After your next shift, you will be contacted by Lou who gives you the Ship Doctor program at your computer. To get this achievement, you simply have to complete one level in that program by feeding it components you've salvaged. Use your scanner (T) to look for pickup objects (purple). The ship selection page tells you what kind of pickups can be found in the ship you're looking at.

"Fail 3 out of 5 salvage goals during industrial Action" and "Complete 3 out of 5 salvage goals during industrial Action", respectively

These achievements require you to complete or fail a majority (3 of 5) salvage goals during the industrial sabotage mission at the end of act 3.
Complete Disagree and Commit first. That means you will want to complete three of the five salvage goals first. The timer is disabled so take your time. Once you get the achievement, either alt+F4 or go to the menu and click Abandon Shift before any progress is saved. This will allow you to begin the mission again and fail three goals, which is how you get the other achievement. Failing three goals is the fun part, you get to go to town on that sucker.

"Fully repay your debt"

Pay off your debt. Takes a while. A note on how to do it more easily than just salvaging 1.2 billion credits worth: You are given 1 billion (1,000,000,000) credits when you finish the last story mission.

A Cowboy Bebop reference, how original!
"Complete Career Mode"

You will need to roll credits, which can take a few dozen hours. This includes getting to max rank in the ship doctor programme and completing all the "story missions" to pay off your debt (Again, you are given 1 billion (1,000,000,000) credits when you finish the last story mission). In my case, I got the story missions much sooner than finishing the ship doctor and fixing the ship. When that's done, do one more shift and you should see the ending cinematic.

"Read a message about the Furnace God"

Throw yourself in the furnace at least five times to get a sticker. When you've gotten that sticker, do one more shift and you should receive an email on your computer.

"Read the Machine God's message"

You will need to explore ghost ships for this achievement. You need to pick up a particular floating helmet you can find inside ghost ships to unlock messages that you can decode in the data recovery programme on your computer. One message will be from The Machine God. Reading this should pop the achievement for you.
