FACEMINER has many achievements and we are going to go over each of them and what I did to achieve each one. This was a long process of trial and error, but I am happy to create this for all of you!

I will WARN YOU NOW that there are a lot of spoilers within these achievements. I highly recommend you play the game at least once on your own before you go through this guide. By playing the game normally, you will unlock many achievements and can come back at a later time. Trust me, the game is worth it! Anything that is outside of the normal or not already written on the achievement itself will be hidden. When revealing spoilers, please, keep this in mind. Ye've been warned!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As you play FACEMINER, you will see that you begin earning new ranks as you go through the game. Starting with Trainee and going on and on.

These you earn by playing the game and you can earn them in any game mode.

The Harvester
Reach the rank of Harvester I.


The Excavator
Reach the rank of Excavator I.


The Architect
Reach the rank of Architect I.


The Chosen
Reach the rank of Chosen I.


The Sovereign
Reach the rank of Sovereign I.


Overlord
Reach the rank of Overlord.


The Visionary
Reach the rank of The Visionary.

These are achievements that are either tied to the story or a specific game mode. These are not the ending achievements as those will be in their own section.


Complete Story
Finish the story, any pacing.


Complete Slower Story
Finish the story, slower pacing.


Glitch Exploited
Finish the story, Infinite Money Glitch pacing.
In order to unlock Infinite Money Glitch pacing you must beat the game on slower pacing.

Archivist
Print out completion certificate. Framing optional.
You can find this on the admin screen after the time expires. Cannot be done on endless.

Mint Condition
Complete a game without triggering any warnings or errors.
Just keep your expenses and data even and you should be good. It's not time sensitive so don't rush it.

Sore Finger
Complete an Infinite Money Glitch run in under 15 minutes.

I personally did this by maxing out pretty much everything focusing on not buying anything for power / water / the environment. you have infinite money, it won't matter and slows you down.


Speedrunner
Get top marks for speed (any mode).
This one was easiest in Infinite Money, but you can do any. I am not sure exactly what caused it to unlock. Could be clicking quickly through datasets, but I think it was just completing the game quickly.

Top Student
Get an S grade (any mode).
I got this normally by being accurate and quick. Still testing out what exactly is affected for this.

Balancing Act
Have zero outgoing expenses by the final act.
You can do this in a few ways and the choice is yours, but what matters is that you have no expenses when the final timer runs out. This gives you some time, but you're literally fighting the clock. I personally did this in a default pacing and stayed within the green everytime I wanted to upgrade, I made sure my expenses were 0 or fully covered. You can also just start deleting stuff at the very end, but you risk not being fast enough to balance it. Alternatively, you can do infinite glitch run and pay for all the power and water and trees as you go through it.

Out With A Bang
Hit a temperature of 175, outside of Endless Mode.
This one is a bit tricky, but you can absolutely hit it. I will say it didn't unlock for me in Infinite Money, but I did unlock it in Slower. Some helpful tips: stay in the green and have as much money as possible before hitting 140 heat index and as soon as you see the timer, unload all your cash into autoclickers. You can be negative and it won't kick you out and you won't overheat as long as the timer is on the screen. Not sure if feature or bug, but it works for now. Will edit in the future if it's changed.

These achievements are all going to be tied to selecting faces, datasets collected, and processed data.

I will say that I believe this information is not cumulative and is per run, but I do not know for certain.


Big Data
Process 1,000,000 total pieces of data.


Perfectionist
Process 5 datasets in a row with 100% accuracy.
Easy to do early, just manually click on the faces of 5 datasets. Skipping does not count against you. Alternatively, you can process a harvested dataset as this is 100% clean data.

Data Hoarder
Store over 25 datasets at once.
You can do this a few ways, but I did buying datasets and harvesting datasets and not having enough autoclickers to get through it fast enough.

FACEDODGER
Process a dataset with 0% accuracy.
Again, easy to do manually at the start just click everything that isn't a face!

The Old Fashioned Way
Manually mine 1,000 faces

These are all related to purchases in the store or the money that you have through the game. We will also include any utilities purchases in here as well.


Close Call
Have less than $10 remaining after a bill is paid.
You may earn this as you play your first time if you don't utilize the utilities properly. I earned it by going negative (indicated by the red triangle by your money) one time and it unlocked for me.

Big Spender
Spend over $1 million in a single billing cycle.
I believe this to be bugged. Will keep looking into unlocking it.

High Earner
Average more than $1,000,000 dollars per second in a billing cycle.
I tried spending like buying items and it did not want to unlock, but it finally unlocked for me in an Infinite Money run. I was near the end and all I did was sell all my utilities and it unlocked immediately.

Entrepreneur
$1,000,000 dollars in the bank.


Rich List
$1,000,000,000 dollars in the bank.


Back From The Brink
Get back on track after two negative balance warnings.
This one goes hand in hand with the Close Call achievement. The game tells you about warnings, but just in case you need to have more expenses than you can afford .

Thirsty
Use over 250,000 gallons of water in a single billing cycle.
Pretty simple in Infinite Money run, just buy a ton of cooling units, you don't need the water itself.

Camera Shy
Complete the game without using any Harvesting upgrades.
Do not buy a single camera! Not one! If you buy one and sell it, the achievement will be void. You can't have ever had one.

Five Eyes
100,000 + cameras.
Simple, just buy them as much as possible. Not game mode specific.


Nine Eyes
Have 1,000,000 + cameras.
Same as Five Eyes, just buy them all up.


Going Green
Purchase 15+ Solar Panels.


Reality Architect
Purchase 5+ Public Relations upgrades.


High Throughput
Get AutoMode to level 100.


Threat Eliminated
Max out the Antivirus level.


Fort Knox
Max out the Firewall level.


Feeling Lucky
Max out bounty hunter.


Number Cruncher
Purchase the impact predictor upgrade.


Nuclear Option
Purchase the nuclear reactor upgrade.


Worrywart
Purchase 10 extra backups in single playthrough.
This is just your saves, buy them as you play and it'll unlock!

Shopaholic
One of everything, please.
You just need to buy one of every item in all four sectors of the marketplace. It is something to note that you do not need every single camera option, you can just buy 1 single camera.

These are the silly achievements! The fun ones that are click here or do this :)


Antisocial
Do not disturb.
Turn off your volume and turn off auto-read on your messages.


Scenic Route
Try out all the different views.
Check out all the different wallpaper options!


Lore Connoisseur
Read everything that hits your Documents Folder.
Cannot do in Endless.

CATMINER
Manually mine a cat.
Click on the cat image from one of the purchasable datasets.


The Administrator
Explore the Administration screen in full.
When the game ends, click on the different options and see what there is to see. Obviously don't click one of the two start over buttons. Cannot do in Endless.


FACEMAILER
Send yourself a message.
In the admin screen, click on the messaging app and send yourself something. As soon as you hit send it'll pop the achievement.



DJ
Listen to every song in a single session.
There is a music player and you can listen to it. I had it on in the background as I played my first run and it popped. You may be able to skip through them, but what fun is that??

WARNING THIS IS SPOILER-Y! This will be all the various ways to end your game and possible outcomes. Again, if you haven't finished the game by yourself at this point, I recommend at least going through it once before you continue on. There are a few options to do each one, but I have hidden how I personally did it in the spoilers under each achievement.

Beat it?

Okay, let's get to it.



Playing With Fire
Overheat your system.
Do not buy cooling items and you will get a warning that it'll overheat.

Crashout
End a game by using too much CPU.
Click suuuuuuper fast don't worry about accuracy and it'll break it down!

Burnout
End a game by generating too much heat.
This one goes hand in hand with the Playing With Fire, except you want to let it burn instead of trying to fix it.


Moral Victory
The clock is ticking. Will you do the right thing?

This one I will go a bit deeper on, because I feel that the creator wants to keep this with a bit of mystery and so I will not give you the flat out answer. I will however give you some hints that I feel are not too on the nose!

Hint 1 -- As you see the world end, it feels bad right? I wonder if other employees feel the same.

Hint 2 -- JANUS says that they want to shut it down at midnight as a group effort.

Hint 3 -- Time's ticking. You have a choice to make.

Hint 4 -- No, you do not need to change your date and time a million times like I did ha ha!

---

These are all related to temperature which I was only able to achieve in Endless mode. It takes some time, but the more cameras, autoclickers, and generators you have should increase the heat. Heat Index is the temperature of the planet and not your actual system.

Getting Hotter
Hit 1000 degrees (Heat Index).


Inferno
Reach 10,000 degrees (Heat Index).


Heat Death
Reach 100,000 degrees (Heat Index).

I hope this guide was helpful in obtaining and listing out all your achievements! Putting this together is so much fun and I really, really enjoy this game. I hope all of you do too and that the achievements might put some pep in those steps to expand and mine! Mine! MINE!

If there are any updates or edits, I will update this guide to keep us posted!

Happy mining and achievement hunting!!
