All 20 Achievements Checklist

Track every unlock in Potato Please All Achievements with a 20-item checklist, hand-peeling milestones, automation tips, story choices, and endings.

Potato Please All Achievements is not a simple badge sweep. The game splits progress between manual peeling, machine peeling, story choices, and three train endings, so a single blind shift can leave several unlocks stranded. This Potato Please All Achievements guide gives you a practical order, tracks the counters that matter, and flags the hidden achievements that need special handling.

You do not need to replay the entire 60,000-potato grind for every ending. Plan the early interactions first, keep a manual-peeling phase, then use automation for the quota and save before the final train. A little setup turns a messy cleanup into a clean Potato Please All Achievements run.

Follow a Clean Completion Order

A practical Potato Please All Achievements route avoids spending hours on the wrong counter. Use this sequence:

  1. Finish the opening normally. Peel your first potato, take the smoke break, and complete the warm-up shift before rushing into upgrades.
  2. Handle the puppy and early requests. Buy Dog Food, feed the puppy, and respond to the village potato request. Keep checking for A Heart of Gold after acts of kindness.
  3. Do the hand-peeling workbench phase. Aim for 500 hand-peeled potatoes, then continue to 1,000 while upgrades are still cheap and the bench is still useful.
  4. Build toward automation. Buy the Auto Peel Machine, work through rank objectives, and add Crane Autopilot when it becomes available.
  5. Test No Escape on a safe attempt. Cross the guarded boundary before the quota is complete if that badge is still locked.
  6. Save before the final train. Use each destination to collect Traitor, For the Motherland, and The Last Harvest, then finish Every Path Has a Price.
  7. Clean up hidden unlocks. Try the Sack Cableway interaction and revisit the Varenka route if Your Own Executioner remains locked.

The biggest Potato Please All Achievements trap is assuming machine progress replaces hand progress. It does not. Old School and These Hands Were Made for Peeling need manual work, while A Thousand Peels and Ten Thousand count broader total peeling.

Manual Peeling Counters Explained

Manual peeling is the part most likely to be left behind after the production line starts running. The achievement wording matters: two badges ask for hand-peeled potatoes, while two others track total volume.

AchievementRequired countCounting ruleRecommendation
Old School500Hand-peeled potatoesFinish early, before relying on machines
These Hands Were Made for Peeling1,000Hand-peeled potatoesContinue the same manual phase
A Thousand Peels1,000Hand or machineLet normal production contribute
Ten Thousand10,000Any peeling methodUse automation and quota work

Treat workbench peeling as the safe source for hand-only progress. The Crank Peel Machine is still a machine, so do not assume it feeds the manual counters. Use steadier-hand treatments, auto-rotate, stamina upgrades, auto-hold, and the second-hand skill to make the manual stretch less tedious.

If Potato Please All Achievements is your main goal, do not sell or dismantle your manual workflow too early. Keep peeling by hand until both hand milestones have clearly unlocked, then let the machines take over.

Automation, Ranks, and the Quota

Automation is essential for the later totals, but it also creates a few easy-to-miss achievement purchases. The key is to separate “buy this to unlock the badge” from “buy this to make the quota faster.”

MilestoneActionAchievement
First motorized peelerBuy the Auto Peel MachineIndustrial Revolution
Crane automationBuy Crane Autopilot after obtaining the Claw CraneFully Automated
Rank progressWork through rank objectives until Master PeelerEmployee of the Month
Final productionReach 60,000 / 60,000 potatoesThe Quota
Guarded exitAttempt to leave before the shift is completeNo Escape

For Potato Please All Achievements progress, the quota is a production checkpoint rather than an ending. Keep the peeling line moving, clear jammed machines, and feed the system until the counter completes. Then handle the escape sequence and final train route.

No Escape is separate from the normal Iron Door escape. Trigger it earlier by trying to cross the guarded outer perimeter while the shift is unfinished. Use a save or expect to resume afterward so you do not lose a late production run.

Endings and Hidden Unlocks

The final Potato Please All Achievements stretch happens at the train controls. Choose each destination on separate runs or reload a pre-departure save, then confirm that the matching ending achievement appears.

Your Own Executioner and Unauthorized Passenger are the least reliable entries to chase blindly. For Unauthorized Passenger, focus on the Sack Cableway rather than simply standing on a moving sack; use the E interaction on the hanging equipment when it is available. If it does not trigger, leave and try again near the loading area.

Your Own Executioner appears tied to the son’s story, but no single letter response is confirmed as a guaranteed solution. Keep a save before the final departure, test the Varenka route, and check the achievement immediately after the ending sequence.

FAQ

How many achievements are in Potato Please All Achievements?

There are 20 Steam achievements. The checklist above covers the opening tasks, story unlocks, peeling milestones, automation purchases, quota completion, hidden actions, and all train endings.

Do machine-peeled potatoes count toward every peeling achievement?

No. Old School and These Hands Were Made for Peeling require hand-peeled potatoes. A Thousand Peels and Ten Thousand accept either hand or machine progress, so automation is useful after the manual milestones are done.

Can I unlock every ending without replaying the whole game?

Use a save before the final train departure if one is available, then choose each destination in turn. Every Path Has a Price requires all three routes, so plan for multiple ending attempts rather than a single trip.

Why are Your Own Executioner and Unauthorized Passenger still locked?

These are the least documented unlocks in the list. For Unauthorized Passenger, interact with the Sack Cableway equipment using E instead of trying to ride a passing sack. For Your Own Executioner, keep a pre-departure save, replay the Varenka route, and test the son’s story choices without assuming that one strict reply guarantees the badge.
