100% Completion Guide & Checklist

Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide: track all 20 Steam achievements, peeling milestones, automation, quota, and train endings.

The potato pile is not the real final boss; the missing achievements are. This Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide turns all 20 Steam goals into a practical route, so you can stop replaying shifts without a clear objective. A strong Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide separates hand-peeling milestones from total production, flags the interactions that are easy to skip, and tells you which final train destinations still need a save file.

All 20 Achievements at a Glance

The core of this Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide is a checklist you can scan between shifts. Mark each unlock against the 20 Steam achievements checklist, then focus only on the gaps. Some goals are tied to ordinary story progress, while others require specific purchases, manual labor, or multiple endings.

Achievement	Unlock requirement	When to pursue
First Cut	Peel your first potato with the starting knife	Opening
One Last Puff	Use the smoking interaction	Opening
Warmed Up	Complete the opening work objectives	After the first tasks
Good Boy	Buy Dog Food for 3 currency and feed the puppy with E	Early shift
A Heart of Gold	Exact trigger unclear; do not assume the puppy is enough	Unknown
Old School	Peel 500 potatoes by hand	Before the bench becomes obsolete
These Hands Were Made for Peeling	Peel 1,000 potatoes by hand	Before or during automation
A Thousand Peels	Peel 1,000 potatoes by hand or machine	Once machines are running
Ten Thousand	Peel 10,000 potatoes in total	Mid to late game
Industrial Revolution	Buy the first Auto Peel Machine	Automation phase
Fully Automated	Buy Crane Autopilot after obtaining the Claw Crane	Automation phase
Employee of the Month	Reach the Master Peeler rank	Rank progression
The Quota	Reach 60,000 / 60,000 peeled potatoes	End of production
No Escape	Cross the guarded perimeter before the shift ends	Before finishing the shift
Traitor	Choose Line 03 — Western Industry	Final train
For the Motherland	Choose Line 01 — Northern Front	Final train
The Last Harvest	Choose Line 02 — Varenka	Final train
Every Path Has a Price	Finish all three train destinations	Ending cleanup
Your Own Executioner	Exact trigger unclear; Pavel’s letters may be involved	Unknown
Unauthorized Passenger	Exact trigger unclear; the Sack Cableway is not a simple answer	Unknown

The useful split is simple: opening actions, kindness interactions, manual peeling, automation, quota and escape, then endings and hidden cleanup. Do not treat every achievement as a production task. Some require you to pause and interact before the factory runs itself.

Opening Shift and Early Interactions

Use this Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide section to clear the easy unlocks before automation changes the pace. The opening achievements are not difficult, but they are easy to miss if you rush toward the first upgrades.

First Cut, One Last Puff, and Warmed Up

First Cut unlocks when you peel your first potato with the starting knife. One Last Puff requires the worker’s smoking interaction, which is separate from buying Medication or improving stamina. Warmed Up is not tied to buying the Rusty Knife; it appears after the opening work objectives are complete and the Journal marks the warm-up shift as finished.

Good Boy and A Heart of Gold

Good Boy is the puppy interaction. Progress until the puppy appears outside in the cold, check the terminal for Dog Food, buy it for 3 units of in-game currency, return to the puppy, and use the E interaction to feed it. After feeding, the puppy recovers and begins helping with potatoes.

A Heart of Gold is less clear. Its achievement description suggests kindness, but the exact trigger is not confirmed. Feeding the puppy is the reliable route to Good Boy, so do not assume it also satisfies A Heart of Gold.

Action	Achievement	Key detail
Peel the first potato	First Cut	Use the starting knife
Use the smoking action	One Last Puff	Separate from Medication and stamina
Finish opening objectives	Warmed Up	Wait for the Journal to mark the shift complete
Buy Dog Food and feed the puppy	Good Boy	Dog Food costs 3 currency; use E to feed
Perform an early kindness action	A Heart of Gold	Trigger remains unclear

Manual Peeling and Production Milestones

For the manual milestones in this Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide, keep the hand-peeling bench relevant before machines take over. The wording matters because the game tracks hand-peeled potatoes separately from total potatoes peeled.

Achievement	Count	Allowed method	Practical note
Old School	500	By hand only	Work at the bench; machine output does not count
These Hands Were Made for Peeling	1,000	By hand only	Keep using the bench after automation arrives
A Thousand Peels	1,000	Hand or machine	Do not grind a separate 1,000 by hand for this one
Ten Thousand	10,000	Hand or machine	Let the production line run while you handle other goals

The trick is to avoid mixing up “by hand” with “total.” Old School and These Hands Were Made for Peeling require manual peeling. A Thousand Peels explicitly allows either method. Ten Thousand measures broad progress, so machines can carry much of that load.

Do not assume the hand-operated Crank Peel Machine counts toward a hand-only requirement. If a manual achievement remains locked after heavy crank use, return to the standard workbench and verify the achievement state before repeating the same routine. For faster manual progress, compare the knife and Journal upgrades available at that point.

Once machine processing is active, continue normal production objectives. Machine-peeled potatoes can advance A Thousand Peels and Ten Thousand, and a running line saves time for rank tasks and ending setup.

Automation, Rank, Quota, and No Escape

The automation phase of this Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide is about purchases, rank milestones, and one dangerous detour. Keep the Journal open and check which objective is actually missing instead of buying every optional upgrade.

Milestone	Requirement	Common mistake
Industrial Revolution	Purchase the first Auto Peel Machine and start machine peeling	Assuming a Claw Crane is required
Fully Automated	Purchase Crane Autopilot after obtaining the Claw Crane	Expecting the achievement before buying Autopilot
Employee of the Month	Reach the Master Peeler progression rank	Buying optional upgrades instead of completing rank tasks
The Quota	Reach 60,000 / 60,000 peeled potatoes	Confusing the quota with the train ending
No Escape	Attempt to cross the guarded outer perimeter before the shift is complete	Trying to use the Iron Door and Golden Key route

Industrial Revolution is straightforward: buy the first motorized peeling machine when it becomes available. Fully Automated comes from the Crane Autopilot purchase after the Claw Crane is in place. If the crane does not begin loading potatoes, recheck the Autopilot setup and controls before assuming the achievement is bugged.

Employee of the Month is tied to the Master Peeler rank. Work through the Journal’s rank objectives, including the required earnings and peeling totals. Buying every optional upgrade is not the goal. If the achievement has not appeared, inspect the rank tasks still open in the Journal.

The Quota unlocks when the remaining production counter reaches 60,000 / 60,000. It is separate from the train endings that follow. If the counter stalls short, check for unprocessed potatoes before starting another full shift.

No Escape is a hidden achievement tied to trying to leave too early. Before the shift is complete, attempt to cross the guarded outer perimeter. Guard fire triggers and No Escape unlocks. This is not the same as opening the Iron Door with the final Golden Key, so do not treat the normal escape route as its trigger.

Train Endings and Hidden Achievements

The final routes in this Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide require you to choose different train destinations. At the final train controls, the destination determines the ending achievement.

Destination	Achievement	Detail
Line 01 — Northern Front	For the Motherland	Route to the Ministry; report is A Loyal Worker of the Motherland
Line 02 — Varenka	The Last Harvest	Route to the villagers
Line 03 — Western Industry	Traitor	Route to the Resistance; report is New Masters
All three destinations	Every Path Has a Price	Finish every route, using a pre-departure save if available

Every Path Has a Price is the cleanup achievement. Finish all three destinations. If your setup allows a suitable pre-departure save, use it to revisit the remaining routes without rebuilding the entire shift. The Golden Key, Iron Door, and departure controls belong to the normal ending route, not to the No Escape perimeter test.

The honest limit of this Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide is the trio of achievements with unclear triggers. Do not waste hours repeating actions that are not confirmed.

Achievement	Known information	What not to assume
A Heart of Gold	Kindness-themed achievement; exact trigger unclear	Feeding the puppy only guarantees Good Boy
Your Own Executioner	Pavel’s letters offer different responses; no confirmed answer sequence	A strict reply or reporting Resistance messages is not a guaranteed solution
Unauthorized Passenger	The Sack Cableway is involved, but a simple climb attempt did not unlock it	Standing on a sack is not a reliable method

For Your Own Executioner, Pavel’s letters are the relevant thread, but no particular response pattern is confirmed. For Unauthorized Passenger, the correct position or interaction on the Sack Cableway remains unknown. Keep both unchecked until Steam confirms the unlock.

FAQ

What order should a Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide follow?

Clear First Cut, One Last Puff, and Warmed Up during the opening. Handle Good Boy next, then work on Old School and These Hands Were Made for Peeling while the bench is still useful. Move into automation, rank progress, the 60,000-potato quota, all three train endings, and finally the unresolved hidden achievements.

Do machine-peeled potatoes count toward every peeling achievement?

No. Old School and These Hands Were Made for Peeling require manual peeling. A Thousand Peels allows hand or machine progress, and Ten Thousand tracks total peeled potatoes. Check the exact wording before changing your routine.

Can I unlock all three train endings without a special save?

The achievement requires all three destinations, so plan for multiple departures or a suitable pre-departure save if one is available. Do not expect a single destination choice to clear Traitor, For the Motherland, and The Last Harvest together.

What should I do if a hidden achievement in this Potato Please 100 Percent Completion Guide stays locked?

Check the incomplete list before starting another shift. A missing hand-peeling goal needs bench work; a missing ending needs a different destination; a missing machine goal needs the relevant purchase. Do not reset a finished production shift without a specific objective, especially for A Heart of Gold, Your Own Executioner, or Unauthorized Passenger, whose exact triggers are still unclear.
