Achievements based on shipments
[edit | edit source]Polyculture
[edit | edit source]This achievement requires the player to ship each crop 15 times.
This essentially can not be completed before the end of the second year, since it requires substantial upfront capital and access to the new second year seeds. It requires that players are able to either maintain a substantial farm, or play over multiple years.
Monoculture
[edit | edit source]This achievement requires the player to ship one crop 300 times.
This is substantially easier for players aiming for profit optimized crop yields, which tend to focus on the maximum profit through growing large numbers of a single plant.
Full Shipment
[edit | edit source]This achievement requires the player to ship one of every item.
This achievement is among the hardest, because it requires the player to ship and not simply obtain each item. Many rare items are best used in other capacities when first obtained, as they are worth far more to the player than their shipment value. This makes pursuing this achievement best left to the endgame.
