Reading the list as a funnel

The story is finished by 2.6% of players. The New Beginning sits five places from the bottom of the rarity list, between Challenge Master and Spirituality. Whatever else this game is, it is not a game most people complete.

The rarest achievement is not a story one. Master of Steel, at 1.0%, is crafting forty steel plates. Forty players in a thousand have done it. More people have finished the main story than have finished the metal tree, which means the metal tree is the game's real endgame for anyone who stays.

Decorative play is rarer than structural play. Cozy Home, for crafting a single flower pot, is 7.7%. Master Builder, for building fifty items with the hammer, is 13.5%. More players build fifty structures than craft one flower pot. In a game with a Comfort system that rewards decoration, almost nobody decorates.

Five hidden entries

Five achievements are hidden by Steam: the client does not show their conditions until you earn them, and the descriptions read as observations rather than instructions.

Hidden achievementRateIn-game text
Drawing on the rock32.0%I'm sure that drawing on the rock is a hat!
Lost scarf20.8%I saw a scarf wrapped around a tree. Maybe its owner will come back for it.
Curious Fox10.9%I spotted a fox, but it hid from me.
Rare Flower4.9%The alchemist has an unusual flower. I wonder why he keeps it protected like that.

Two patches that rescued them

The 7 November patch fixed an issue that blocked some achievement unlocks. Meeting a condition before that patch and missing the credit is fixable: update, then load your save and it grants retroactively. The 6 November patch had already fixed food-related achievement issues specifically.

Where to start at each stage

The eight Common entries land in one session. The twenty Rare ones are where a farm and a metal industry pay off. For completion, read the six hardest on their own page: forty steel plates at 1.0% stops nearly everyone.
