You earn these achievements throughout the game story progression. To reach new areas you need to upgrade your drillship's drill.

Claim your own drillship
The first tutorial will help you get this one.




Silence one lava source
You will have to destroy a lava source, these devices have 3 cranes protected by COGs. Each crane have modules attached on them, all you need to do is destroy them. They are located in the caves (2nd level) and the first one it is on the Devil's Roar tunnel (southeast of the map). Requires the upgrade Hardened Drill to reach that location.

Silence two lava sources
The second lava source it is on Dragon's Lair tunnel (northeast of the caves map). Requires the upgrade Corundum Drill to reach that location.



Silence three lava sources
The third lava source it is on the Magma Sanctuary area (northwest of the caves map). Requires the upgrade Titanium Hull to reach that location.



Finish the story
The last lava source it is in the Volcano Heart area. To reach there you will need the Titanium Hull upgrade. On the 2nd level cave you will see a Titanium Hull icon on the 2-3 travel points and they will unlock when you destroy 3 lava sources. When the last lava source is destroyed the COGs will not spawn anymore and also there will be no more volcano eruption.

These achievements unlock when you collect resources. You have to use your pick axe or your Drillship to collect them.

Collect technology component
You need to mine a technology component. You can get them on abandoned towns, destroyed Drillships on the tunnels, destroying COGs Drillships modules. Can't miss this one.


Mine 100 coal
Pretty easy this one, just mine a few coal sources.




Mine 1000 coal
This one will take time, just keep mining coal until you get this one. Either with your pick axe or Drillship works. Also you can build mining drones to harvest coal faster.

These achievements will unlock when you install a Drillship upgrade.

Install drillship segment upgrade
Soon as you get your first Drillship, if you have the resources, you can make and install this upgrade.



Make drillship as long as possible
To install the last Drillship extender you'll need the Drillship Core III and Drillship Engine III upgrades installed.

These achievements unlock when you kill COGs.

Kill 10 Cogs
Very easy, just kill a few COGs. They are everywhere.




Kill 100 Cogs
Keep killing COGs. In half or less of a playthrough you will earn this achievement (unless you're playing on Peaceful mode).



Kill an enemy with helper drone in an unconventional way
Call a drone where a COG is located and it will kill it. Kind of fun but it will take some time for the drone to reach the spawn location so you need to keep the COG there.

These achievements require some work to be done and some can be missed on a play-through.

Have 5 control stations running at the same time
To get this one you'll need 5 stations working on something. It can be mixed between scrap, production, refinery or research. It's not hard, all you need are resources for all of them to be running at the same time.


Win the game without taking any quest
Update: Start a game without the tutorial and finish a playthrough without taking any quest from the captain or the radio. Better finish the game at least one time before taking this challenge.
Warning: Some players achieved this with tutorial on but it didn't work with every playtrough. Turn off tutorial to be safe.


Win the game in 7 hours or less
This one is challenging, finish a play-through in less than 7 hours.




Win the game without having more than one power plant at any time
You have to start and finish the game using only one power module installed on your Drillship. You can upgrade your power module but never have two or more at the same time.


Win the game without having more than one storage module at any time
This one works like the Environmentalist achievement. You can upgrade but don't install more than one module.



Survive eruption in a cool improvised shelter
Go to the "Flat Trail" landing zone in area 3 and head west. Find the copper shelter located in the proximity of this landing site. You also need to survive a volcano eruption inside the shelter for the achievement.


Thanks Zarhz and Ultionys for the shelter location.

These achievements are hidden and are (not so) secret.

Give captain some time to think
Just close the door to the Captain quarters on the submarine.




Make submarine extra safe
The submarine has a hatch and a door leading outside, close the two to get the achievement.

I hope this guide will help you get any achievement you missed to get the 100%. Good gaming.
