"The Workhorse" achievement is bugged

[Queendom]

I've completed the game three times already but still haven't got "The Workhorse" achievement, even though I've definitely completed the required amount of orders. There is also no progress bar on achievement, so it's hard to say if it is counting at all.

need to complete 80 orders within one game.

And it's really a pain. I had to go throw a few dozen Harry/Garry/Larry orders where I rejected anything I couldn't just buy them out of the catalog (with my massive stacks of leftover cash).

Definitely broken, I got all other achievements on my 2nd playthrough, except this one. So I went through the game a 3rd time, with only 1 focus : completing as many small orders as I could possible get. I'm sure I was well over 100 orders completed, and yes, I won the game, but no achievement.

Considering the casual nature of the game and that similiar achievements are awarded through multiple playthroughs, I'd say this is not intended that this achievements should be done in a single play, even if it's working like that now.

Nope, just only do orders that are <4 and you'll get it by Day 11

I just got the Workhorse achieve by following this thread's advice of only doing orders requiring less than 4 plants (and being aware that some orders can be completed via catalogue purchases).

I had actually done my first 2 playthroughs of this game in Offline mode, during an internet outage. Got some practice. When I got internet access back, I got every achieve EXCEPT the Workhose achieve in the next run. In the run following that, I got the Workhorse achieve. I'll say there was nothing casual about the Workhorse achieve, and the previous playthrough contributed nothing to the required number of work orders.

I just got the Workhorse one. It is certainly the one achievement that requires the most attention and patience (hell I had an Excel table tracking the number of charges and orders). I got it on day 12.

I basically rejected every order that was above 3 plants for most of the game, only got the 4 ones towards the end when everything else ran out. As someone said above it's helpful that you can buy 1-difficulty orders straight from the shop from mid-game when you're swimming in money.

It also seems that at least some characters have a storyline, eg. the schoolmaster won't offer his later 1 and 3 plant orders until you give him the 5 bloody Borinax xD (I heard that "Back in my day..." every single day before I realised I can just fill his order from the shop without wasting charges )
