Main achievements

Achievement		Description	Notes
	Advanced Designs	Have an Advanced Coal Mine, Advanced Wall Drill and Advanced Steelworks at the same time
	Autonomous City	In a city of at least 200, have automatons working in more than half of workplaces	If doing this in endless mode, Endurance and Serenity seem to be bugged. Builders should work.
	Bad at Politics	Keep every promise made during a playthrough
	Better than London	Finish a playthrough without building a single Tent	Tip: The Arks Tip: Quickly 2 workshops, research drafting machines, then research bunkhouses, then you'll be basically set for the rest of your play-through
	Bread and Games	In a city of at least 200 people, ensure everyone has access to the Public House and a Fighting Arena
	Built to Serve	Build an automaton
	Carnivore	Having a choice, finish a scenario using only Hunters
	Central Heating	Finish a scenario without building a single Steam Hub
	Charcoaled	Finish a playthrough with Charcoal Kilns as the only buildings that provide Coal	You are allowed to harvest coal piles with a Gathering Post and use Outposts that provide coal.
	City of Man	Have more than 650 people in the city at the same time	Easiest to do on The Refugees scenario
	City of Steam	Have 15 automatons at the same time
	Compassionate	In the New Home scenario, accept all groups of refugees	Tip: Preemptively build ample healthcare infrastructure (start after the Londoners are dealt with, if not before), particularly Infirmaries or Houses of Healing. Many of the incoming refugees will be ill or gravely ill.
	Conservationist	Save all the Seedling Arks in The Arks scenario
	Expats	Set up 2 Outposts in one playthrough
	Hyperefficient	Have a workplace with efficiency greater than ... [200%]	You can get this achievement by boosting medical posts or infirmaries. Go for the laws: Child shelters -> Medic helpers Sustain life -> Double Rations for the Ill Corpse disposal -> Organ transplantation Agitators (Order Tree) Foremen (Order Tree) Shrine (Faith Tree) plus develop all the techs which boost the infirmaries. The end-result should be more than 240% efficiency! Alternatively, use the rush construction ability in Builders mode. this will raise the efficiency up to whatever it takes to complete the stage in one hour. Using it on the Shaft Structure from the start will result in 600% efficiency for example.
	Iron Man (New Home)	Finish the New Home scenario on Hard difficulty
	Iron Man (Refugees)	Finish the Refugees scenario on Hard difficulty
	Iron Man (The Arks)	Finish The Arks scenario on Hard difficulty
	Leader	Finish the New Home scenario
	Lost Souls	In the New Home scenario, save every person in Frostland	Currently seems to be bugged and awarded early. With no deaths and saving all survivors, you should end with 692 people.
	Once More unto the Breach	Provide an amputee with a prosthesis
	Oxbridge	Have 4 Workshops doing research at the same time
	Politician	Stay in power after your people threatened to overthrow you
	Power Overwhelming	Have a fully upgraded Generator (power, range and overdrive)
	Promised Land	Have maximum hope and no discontent	Tip: Use the faith route in new home and spam church and temple abilities, and stop londoners.
	Refugee	Finish the Refugees scenario
	Satellites	Finish a scenario never expanding the range of the Generator
	Search and Rescue	Rescue all of your people coming to the City
	Shai Hulud Summoner	Have 4 Coal Thumpers working at the same time	Tip: challenge yourself to only use coal thumpers to get coal
	Technocrat	Finish The Arks scenario
	The Iron Saviour	Finish the New Home scenario with no deaths from cold, hunger, sickness or overwork on Hard difficulty	Its advised to save before storm as people can easily die during it. DO NOT get House of Healing as there is a scripted death associated with this building that prevents unlocking this achievement.
	The Saviour	Finish the New Home scenario with no deaths from cold, hunger, sickness or overwork	Currently seems to be bugged and awarded upon completing the scenario regardless.
	Tis but a Scratch	Finish a playthrough without an Infirmary or House of Healing	Best to do on The Arks with Radical Treatment (Law) or on The Last Autumn with Medical Repatriation (Law)
	United	In the New Home scenario, don't let anyone leave for London	Pass Purpose laws on cooldown, and spam hope-increasing abilities as they're unlocked. Faith has a moderate advantage to getting this done quickly, but it's amply possible for either Purpose branch.
	Unskilled Labour	Finish any scenario without constructing Steam or Advanced buildings	A bit misleading description by the game. It is meant not to build any upgraded versions of any resource producing building (including food production). Better houses, infirmaries, care houses (from law), regular hothouses, charcoal kilns, regular walldrills, outposts, factories are fine.
	Urban Planner	Have 300 people living in the heat zone of a single Steam Hub	This does not require the road trick. If you have the maximum amount of buildings in the radius and aren't getting the achievement, try switching the steam hub to range 1 and back to 2.
	Vegetarian	Having a choice, finish a scenario using only Hothouses	Easiest on A New Home, due to ample starting food. Pass Soup law early to stretch starting raw food supplies longer.
	Worse than London	Finish a playthrough without building a single House or Bunkhouse	I recommend trying it on The Refugees scenario. Tip: Get at least 500-600 people to tank all the people dying in the final storm

	By the Sweat of their Brow	Survive 75 days without automatons
	Full House	Have over 700 population	Available only in Endless mode. Due to the specifics of how population spawns in Frostland each storm cycle, either the game must be played in Serenity mode to exceed the 700 citizen threshold, or Settlements must be enabled for an alternative infinite source of population.
	Hyde Park Corner	Have a Town Square of each size	Available only in Endless mode.
	Let There Be Light	Build 10 Street Lamps	Available only in Endless mode.

Added Jan 21, 2020		Description	Notes
	All Along the Watchtower	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario with only convicts and engineers left at the end
	A for Effort	Build a Generator with all construction faults in Endless Mode
	One More Day Syndrome	Build the Generator and reach day 100 in Endless Mode
	Winter Ready	Build the Generator before the weather changes in Endless Mode
	Weathering the Storm	Build the Generator with no damage from storms in Endless Mode
	Ducks in a Row	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario without pauses between construction of its parts longer than 24 hours
	No Crunch	Build the generator in The Last Autumn scenario using neither Two Shifts nor Extended Shifts	In order to get this, you actually have to sign Two Shifts or Extended Shift and not extend the working hours. NOT signing either of the laws DOESN'T activate this achievement. Seems bugged. I signed Extended Shift before finishing the base generator and then went through the optional upgrades and still didn't get the achievement. I (different editor) got the achievement while using double shift on non-generator buildings (docks, workshops, etc).
	Bonus Pater Familias	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario without anyone dying	Doable with either labor law branch, but probably easiest with Engineers due to Factory Inspectorate.
	Arise Ye Workers	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario with only workers left at the end	Tip: Minimize engineer recruitment. With Abolition of Privileges, it's not *terribly* difficult to get engineers killed (or maimed, if you pass Medical Repatriation) on the Generator site, but still RNG-dependent, as is execution.
	I'll Be Home for Chrismas	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario before the last shipment
	Emissions Reduction	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario using no Coal consuming buildings
	Messrs Gabriel	Use Telegraph Station 20 or more times	Translates to: "SEND HELP"
	Not great, not terrible	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario, employing people neither in Safe nor Deadly workplaces	Tip: You're disqualified for this achievement for even momentary Safe/Deadly status in an active workplace. Factory Inspectorate can be especially problematic (though not impossible) to use, since its safety increase is applied after evaluating relative workplace levels. (Concretely: if you have Factory Inspectorate, the workplace needs to be either Dangerous or Unsafe when you assign workers; if it starts Deadly, then the brief period of Deadly will disqualify you. If it starts Unhealthy, then Factory Inspectorate will bump it up to Safe. Factory Inspectorate's safety factor is always applied AFTER work begins in active sites.) It is recommended to remove all assigned workers from the Generator site at the end of each shift, and only reassign them the next day when you are assured that the workplace safety will be where it needs to be.
	Fisher King	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario without setting up any Foragers' Camps	To prevent confusion: Foragers Quarters is not prohibited, send scouts to explore for other loot, just don't settle camps anywhere. Two fishing docks more than enough to feed 200-250 people.
	On the Waterfront	Have 4 Advanced Docks and 12 Reloading Stations working at the same time	Tip: Rush this while you still have food sources from Foragers. You WILL need to convert at least one Dock to a Fishing Harbor as the scenario progresses. Don't build any Steam/Advanced Reloading Stations when going for the achievement, to make the most of your steam cores. Note: docks and stations must be staffed and actually work.
	Perfectionist	Build a Generator with all upgrades and no construction faults
	Iron Man (The Last Autumn)	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario on Hard difficulty
	The Last Autumn Survivor	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario in Survivor Mode.
	Builder	Build the Generator in The Last Autumn scenario

Hidden achievements

Achievement		Description	Notes
	Banksy	Deal with the Londoners' graffiti peacefully	Play A New Home scenario, recruit Guards or Faith Keepers and order them to secure the streets.
	Everybody Lived for Once	Finish The Arks scenario, saving both cities
	Golden Path	Finish the New Home scenario without passing severe laws and using harsh abilities	Full Guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1525540176 (Slightly outdated/incorrect: Faith Keepers cannot be instituted at all to unlock this achievement. This editor does not have data for Order laws.)
	My Turn to Speak	Let the Londoners speak and have the last word	New Home scenario: You need to keep the discontent over 25% (keep it around 50% to be sure) during the Londoner storyline. Let the protesters always speak. After three times of choosing "let him speak" you can choose the option to speak back on the fourth time which triggers the achievement.
	Negotiator	Deal with the Londoners' thievery peacefully	You get this achievement during the thievery events when you take the option "Let him go, he's not the Murderer" after a successful investigation. This option is only available if a guard was murdered before. Therefore you always need to send out your guards when something happen in your city to maximise the probability of a deadly incident (Keep savepoints, as it is not always the case that someone dies). Works with either, Faith Keepers or Order. You won't get the achievement immediately after releasing the murder suspect, but a few days later when the "end of thievery" event triggers.
	Please, Sir, I Want Some More	Give child workers extra rations	Accept double food for working children
	Sprinter	Find New Manchester before Day 15	New Manchester is to the east in The Arks. You need to complete the "Autonomous city" quest before day 12. One day after completion of the quest, an event occurs where a man is running towards your city. Have a scout (or an Automaton scout) with fully upgraded speed ready at your city and send them to intercept the man, and New Manchester will be revealed once he arrives. If you don't complete Autonomous City in time, the man will appear automatically at day 14 at 10am. However, at this point even fully-upgraded scouts will take a day and a half to reach New Manchester, so this will be too late.
	The Scientific Method, vol. 1	Finish the Automaton Project	Produce automatons in a factory until you have 3 and have a working workshop, you will eventually be approached by an engineer who wants to study automatons. Accept his request and all subsequent requests. May not trigger if tier IV or tier V Automaton research is already complete at the start of this event chain, even if the event chain completes successfully.
	The Scientific Method, vol. 2	Improve Radical Treatment	Enact Radical treatment and have 10 amputees, you will eventually be approached by an engineer who wants to try something. Accept his request. Tip: Easiest in Fall of Winterhome.
	The Union	Finish the Refugees scenario, accepting all the lords and resolving the class conflict
	Unknown Ship	Find the unknown ship in Frostland	Explore Oceanliner in The Refugees
Added Sep 22, 2018		Description	Notes
	All children on board	Finish the Fall of Winterhome Scenario, sending all children to Dreadnought.

	Unforgiven	Let New London fall in On the Edge scenario	You have to build although infrastructures for survivors
	You Had To Do It	Rename Outpost 11 to you-know-what	"Rename the outpost to "New London". I got the achievement in a Endless Mode game in the base game. "On the Edge" campaign has a prompt to rename outpost at some moment.
