Promising

Common86.4%

ObjectiveOptional

Juicy

Common77.4%

ObjectiveOptional

Earn a profit of more than $25,000 in a single level.

Hard to do in the first campaign segment, easier in the later ones (desert onwards).

Empty Milkshake

Common75.9%

ObjectiveOptional

Do what it says on the tin; extract all the oil in a level. You can ofc do this on any level...

Overbidder

Common69.2%

ObjectiveOptional

Overbid someone at the land auction.

Wait until one of the NPC players bids on a piece (their face will appear on the chunk of land), then click on it to outbid them. If you win (and if you have enough cash ofc) then the achievement is yours!

Dubious Deal

Common57.3%

ObjectiveOptional

Sell oil at a price below $0.25.

just wait until Left Inc or Right Inc drops below this value and then assign some carts there to sell. This will be easy to spot from early on in the game- just keep an eye on the sell values as you should be doing anyway.

Shiny

Common55.6%

ObjectiveMissable

Get a diamond.

Diamonds become available in the 2nd stage of the campaign (the desert). You have to buy a skill for the moles from the Workshop to be able to retrieve them

Serious Money

Common45.7%

ObjectiveOptional

Earn a profit of more than $50,000 in a single level.

On normal, hard to do before the 4th part of the campaign.

Good Deal

Common44.1%

ObjectiveOptional

Boost the oil price above $2.00.

In the 3rd part of the campaign you get access to oil. To boost prices you also need to buy the "Left Link" and/or "Right Link" at $40k apiece to be able to pipe gas directly to Left In or Right Inc, and the Valves so you can control the flow. To do this, branch a pipe off one of your regular pipes, add an extra joint so you have a valve to close, then extend the pipes to *multiple* gas resources, and the other end to Left/Right Inc. The point being that you need the gas to flow into Left/Right Inc - but NOT through any oil seam and out your drills. It also helps to have an extra valve close to Left/Right Inc - so you can get everything wired up ready but stop the gas flowing until the price is naturally high already. If you're already at $1.10 then a nice boost from 3 gas veins should get you well over $2.50 for both achievements.

Big Spiller

Common42.8%

ObjectiveOptional

Get a spillage fine of over $10,000.

Easy to do from the beginning; just tap the oil and don't pick it up quick enough with the horses. You're bound to have this happen sooner or later by accident so don't worry about boosting for it deliberately.

Expert

Legendary3.5%

ObjectiveMissable

Mayor Shareholder

Legendary3.5%

GrindMissable

Own all the shares.

Shares start to be sold mid way through the 2nd part of the campaign. You'll have to participate in a share auction before every level. Just make sure you win every time. Note the price the NPC competitors buy at is pretty random, and you can retry any number of times just by quitting out to the main menu and then going back in to Continue game; as it tells you repeatedly going back to the main menu loses all progress since reaching town. (so do this first on getting into town so you don't have to redo any other purchases or the land auction). It will be very hard to do this at the same time as

Filthy Rich or

Millionaire - so don't. Go for this in your first playthrough (non-expert!), and the others in the Expert playthrough following it.

Filthy Rich

Legendary2.6%
