This guide is incomplete, you can expand it by calling me lazy.

I want to finish this guide sometime in the future, by finish i mean make it a 100% guide.

So yeah im working on it.
The world we see, the world we wish for
Participation trophy, for starting the game.
Slob
When starting a new game and being prompted to wake up, just don't wake up.

This will also kill you.
You died!!
You need to die.

Thankfully it's not isekai.

You can get it in numerous ways like:
  • While doing Slob
  • Exhaustion
  • Eating earth candy you get on white day from the Plant Fairy
  • Eating soap candy you get on white day from the Boss Gu
Investment Consultation
You have to open the front door to your apartment and hope you get robbed by a knowledge thief.
An Encounter with the Unknown
On day 3 when you interact with the plant in your apartment, plant fairy pops out of it to greet you
Encounter
You buy Conversation skill for 2500 knowledge and use the balcony .
White Day
Survive to day 14 .

If you interact with Plant Fairy she gives you the dirt candy ,
interacting with a bathroom Boss Gu gives you soap candy .
You were resurrected!!
After ending day 13 by going to sleep you get visited by 'Creator Gu' in your sleep where he gives you 'Honey Candy' that restores 1 HP and 3 Willpower upon use .

After this interaction with 'Creator Gu' Player has exactly one chance to not die after a 'game over' screen.

This will also finish the current day and skip to the next day.
Pull the plug! [Mutually Exclusive]
Requires you to learn 'Potato Mechanisation" skill.

After acquiring it when plucking potatoes you may randomly get interupted with an 'event' where game makes you pick between pulling the plug or getting a 3D potato printer, like the name suggests you have to resist the comfort and pull the plug .
Let's cross the sea of stars [Mutually Exclusive] [Ending]
The 'secret' ending.

Requires you to learn 'Potato Mechanisation" skill.

After acquiring it when plucking potatoes you may randomly get interupted with an 'event' where game makes you pick between pulling the plug or getting a 3D potato printer, you want to set the mechanical potato free and get the 3D printer technology .

Then you need to put several thousand knowledge points into the 3D printer after which it spews out some glitched text that initiates ending.

As far as i'm aware it has nothing to do with not talking to anyone, that's another ending .
Brain excitement
Granted upon learning the final skill in the small branch at the very bottom of the basic skills menu.

Requires 10000 knowledge to purchase.
For the Salad
Given for completing all four 'quests' for the neighbour.

First event requires 5x potatoes .
Second event requires 10x potatoes .
Third event requires 20x potatoes .
Fourth event is a little bit more complicated as it requires you to purchuase Third and Second last cooking recipe in the middle column to even start it then on top of that you need 30x potatoes .
Salad
After completing all 'quests' for the neighbour you unlock the salad recipe, achievement is granted upon successfully cooking a salad.
Good-bye
After interacting with the bathroom every single day,
On day 20 you move on from your job and obtain the achivement.

Keep in mind that i don't know if the events are actually day specific or visit x times activated so safest way to get it is to just interact wtih it every day.
Insight
After interacting with the painting every single day,
On day 20 you comprehend the art piece more and obtain the achivement.

Keep in mind that i don't know if the events are actually day specific or visit x times activated so safest way to get it is to just interact wtih it every day.

You have to look at the painting hanging on the North most wall not the other painting you can buy from the trader that hangs in your sleeping room.

There is no picture frame in the game its a translation error.
Chasing Dreams
After interacting with the plant every single day,
On day 20 you talk with 'Plant Fairy' how she feels trapped and how she wants to leave, sending her off grants you the achivement.

Keep in mind that i don't know if the events are actually day specific or visit x times activated so safest way to get it is to just interact wtih it every day.
Day 7
Survive to day 21 .
Short story [Ending]
The 'bad' ending.

This one requires not obtaining the 'Conversation' skill and not interacting with any other character in the game .
Common future [Ending]
The 'mediocrity' ending.

Requires you to finish at least one of neighbour's favors but not all of them (so 1-3) .
Future you want to see [Ending]
The 'happy' ending.

Requires completing all four nighbour's quests and reaching a certain Frendship level threshold (im not sure but 120 maybe?), if both character portraits smile on save/load screen you should get it.

Obtaining this ending does not guarantee you an S rank or higher rank

Thank you for the tips!

@DekiLas i lost my notes with my "old" new pc so it's mostly from memory but ranks are a combination of relationship points, meals cooked well, total potato count, and maybe number of unique recipes? TLDR you want to go for good ending, restart days for maximum knowledge and successful cooking attempts and just snowball as fast as you can.

Hey, what about the achievement "Survival Specialist"? Any ideas how to get it?

@Żabu I dont remember the exact number but after couple days of watering the plant (in a row) she tells you she fells trapped and after watering it more she leaves, (12-15 days maybe?).
