Hope this guide will help you and awnser your questions. Is any information unclear or missing, feel free to ask and I will try to help/update the guide!

○ Achievements related to Animals ○
Most of these achievements speak for themselves.

For the harder achievements I recommend checking out the following guide made by the user @Rika. In this guide there is all the information about on how to get rare/legendary animals and on what days they spawn.

Light all the dark rooms

When you've found your way through the dark rooms and light them up, you'll end up finding walls with handprints. Interact with all these walls to unlock this achievement.

○ Achievements related to Contribution Points ○
You earn contribution by putting items in the big bin. Only your own contribution points count toward the achievements, so sadly the big overview is not reliable to keep track on how far along you are.

Early game you can earn your contribution the most through fishing and drying your fish.
Late game having boars is the most time/contribution point effective. You spin their fur into yarn. I recommend having the big barn upgrade to save time. Animals have to be pet every day for them not to become sick.

Personally I have a ton of boars for their yarn and use my fields to make crops so I can pickle them. These achievements are definatly a grind.

Overview of high earning items
Processing items
First things first: when pickling an item, it doesnt matter how expensive the vinegar is that you put it, it only looks at the quality. So sell all your high earning vinegar and use cheaper but the best quality for pickling.

Its good to note that turning wine into vinegar does not increase its worth. So its better to sell the wine and only turn wine into vinegar when you want to use that for pickling.

Best items for wine to sell:
• Pineapple Wine
• Beets Wine
• Mead
• Oats Beer

Best items to pickle (sorted from best to oke earning):
• Pumpkin
• Butternut Squash
• Fennel
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Sweet potato
• Beets
• Cassave
• Potato
• Sea Kale
• Kohlrabi
• Lettuce



How to check how many contribution points you've made sofar
I got the following information from the official discord:

"For all of those people grinding out the 1 million contribution goal, you can check the save files to see historical contribution.
Step 1) Locate your save file: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1245560/discussions/0/3823036151091835986/

Step 2) Open your save file in a text editor

Step 3) near the beginning of the file, there should be two entries of "Type":7,"Q":0,"MaxQ":0}with something other than zero in the values.
One of them is your contribution on hand before you went to bed [Q], and the historical total [MaxQ], with the other set being clan prosperity before you last went to bed.
[you can just ctrl+f MaxQif you dont immediately see it.] "

Question, does trees knowledge counts to Green Arm achievement (Get to level 5 knowledge for all plants)?
Matsetes Oct 13, 2024 @ 11:58am 
It could be helpful to add in the achievement for dancing with all the NPCs that Croll will not dance with the player before 6 flowers (as stated in the wiki)
