For Global Businessman: You Will need to buy ALL Upgrades on the PC's upgrade tab in the Tidal map to unlock this achievement.

For Island God: it is no longer bugged and will unlock once the volcano erupts at 100% anger and resets your gas station by force. Time of Writing 04-30-2025

For Lucky Week: If you manage to never run or run the minimum on surfers or scuba divers for 7 days and make enough money to buy upgrades or landmarks to reduce volcano anger. you can still slowly progress the challenge quest progression, if a scuba diver or surfer dies however, the volcano will increase in rage by about 5-15%

For 5 Star Service: I Simply set my Scuba Divers and Surfers to be absolutely empty with no gear in them for 2 days while chasing lucky week. very simple achievement to get.

[DarkMakor]

For Nothing But Net: You will want to find the coconut vending machine at the volcano altar.
now when you vend a coconut for yourself the coconut itself will always be the same, as for the objective it slightly differs.
the red ring is lowest point score
yellow ring is mid point score
blue is highest point score
objective to get the achievement? stand and shoot at the volcano sacrifice cauldron with (any amount) of coconuts until you score at least 1 coconut/point for each colored ring.

For Savior: This one is abit buggy on spawning the shark itself until you reload your tidal savegame. What you will need to buy is the $500 cannon tool to get it. and make sure it doesn't kill any of your surfers before you kill the shark to get the achievement.

For The Lover of Ocean Art: You Will need to buy ALL 29 Landmark Decorations in the Tidal map to unlock this achievement.

[DarkMakor]

For Impossible: You will be in the early game with progress all the way until you clear a parking lot from sand dunes the game will tell you this parking lot is free but the twist is that you will get an achievement for NOT answering the phone after buying and clearing this parking lot. and when you save about $5,000 - $5,200ish Dollars. you will be tasked with servicing a customer at your register and paying this "so called loan" of $5,000 within about 5-7min after your phone call with "the uncle" ends.

Hello Everyone: I am here to help others understand the goals of some of the more difficult and unexplained achievements:

For It's a Kind of Magic: All you have to do is go back to where you originally found rudy and press the glowing red button to teleport rudy (the sand tractor thing) back to it's spawn area.

For The Jack of All Trades Employee: You will need the party time DLC, and then you will need to upgrade an ice-cream stand to place it in the dust bowl, be sure to have this same employee get level 10 in all (6) skills to get the achievement. as of today writing this, the party time and cinema DLC's are both free content and, having the party spot will greatly help you in gaining the Superstar! Achievement aswell.

For Fishy Business: The Square Pool of dirt that's mentioned is where the trashbags pile up that are next to the gator after you unlock the car wash just to clarify for anyone who might be confused.

There are another achievement now called “Critics' Choice” since Cinema DLC has been added recently.

[Qualle036]

I tried that, but it doesn't work. I had many eruptions but it never unlocks. Is there anything I do wrong?

[totemadam]

For everyone who tried to get the "Island God" achievement: The guide is wrong. You get it when you first trigger the eruption! :)

[Qualle036]

My "Island God" -Achievement is bugged. Even tho he is raging, it does not appear. What am I doing wrong? Or is it a bug?

[Roumyan]

That's it - I'm gonna get all the achievements now

[Horror Heaven]

You can get "Flay like an eagle" also by building the ferris wheeln and drive with it.
