Achievement guide: the ones that trip people up

One Hour

On 10 November the developer explained that One Hour counts only time at the table, not time in the skill tree, prestige tree or menus, so it can take longer than an hour on Steam’s clock. He said the next update will count time in the trees too, and table time already played still counts. confirmed If it has not popped yet, keep playing at the table.

Board Member

Every prestige node, maxed. Before patch 1.0.1 the price of a shift after the ending rose ×100 each time, which made the last nodes unreachable. Since 1.0.1 every shift from the ninth on costs 1 sextillion, or less with Market Maker. confirmed

Nothing Left to Buy

Every skill tree node in one shift. Buy the prestige node that keeps skill tree upgrades between shifts (40 PP on release day) and the shift-to-shift rebuy stops being a problem. confirmed

Achievements not unlocking?

If the Steam overlay shows the achievements tab greyed out on your first start, close the game and start it again from your Steam library. Everything you earned in the meantime is kept in your save and unlocks at that start. confirmed Two players on Linux and Windows 11 fixed it by uninstalling the demo, which was still installed, and restarting. reported You do not need to start a new save. confirmed More on the troubleshooting page.

Achievement order in a normal run

The first ten unlock in the first shift (first bills, Hundred Bills, First Thousand, Electric Bills, First Shift Ended). Special-bill counts and the denomination list fill in over shifts two to five. The long ones are the three maxing achievements, 700 Prestige Points and the ending, which all land in the last hour.
