Before We Start
Hey there, fellow foragers!
There are a few achievements in Forager that might be a bit time consuming and maybe even a bit annoying. The goal of this guide is to show an easy and fast way to grind for these achievements and complete them.
One thing to note before we proceed is that you should be close to or at the end game to achieve these achievements easily. This means having access to decent weapons and a decent amount of basic resources.

Mods
Having these mods installed can speed up the process or greatly improve your experience when trying to complete these achievements.
Void Master and Production Master
The goal is to reach level 30 in the void for the Void Master and to have 100 nuclear buildings for the Production Master.

Prerequisites
  • Ability to farm one of the bosses for spirit orbs. All bosses drop 4 spirit orbs from chests which are NOT affected by lighthouses. I recommend King Slime as that guy is the easiest and weakest boss and the summoning item is the cheapest.
  • Access to a ritual altar (). You can find one in the demon biome. There's also one in the Skull Maze but I don't recommend using that one as we'll be performing a lot of rituals and constantly going to the Skull Maze is just a waste of time.
  • (Optional): Ability to craft at least 10-15 Atomic Bombs. This is not required but it can make it faster and easier to complete the task.

Completeing The Achievements
  1. Craft slime sigils and farm King Slime to get spirit orbs. This shouldn't take long if you have the fast craft mod and decent gear to take down King Slime (or multiple King Slimes at once).
    Tips
    • Having the Cosmic Bow can make it A LOT easier to fight multiple King Slimes (and multiple bosses in general) at once.
    • A decent high-level sword combined with a high-level glove can also be helpful if you can't get the Cosmic Bow.
    • You can always build ballistas around the area you're going to farm the boss to help you take out the boss faster.

  2. Do not use the spirit orbs yet. Go to the altar and use it. The boons we're looking for are Wrath (which gives 1 damage), Termination (Gives 1 droid and 10 EMPs) and Hermetics (Gives a bunch of potions) so prioritize these three over other boons.
    The order of importance between those three themselves are as follow:
    1. Termination
    2. Wrath
    3. Hermetics
    So for example, if you had to choose between Termination and Wrath, you choose Termination. If you had to choose between Hermetics and Wrath, you choose Wrath.

  3. Keep using the altar until you're at one heart. After that, use a Vitality Orb (item added by Kyo's Orbs mod) to max out your health again.
    Tips
    • Remember to keep at least 4-7 hearts if you're going to run out of orbs and don't have enough to get your HP high enough again. That way, if you get hit by the boss, you won't get one-shotted.
      Having bottled fairies can be an alternative way as they prevent dying when you have them in your inventory (just like in Legend of Zelda).

  4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until you have at least 40 drones. This might take ~15min with good gear and it gets easier and faster as you collect more drones and gain more damage.
    Note that you should have enough material to craft the slime sigils required to summon the King Slime. You'll be crafting 200+ slime sigils in total. It might sound a lot but it's not that much actually.
    Tips
    • Make sure you have a farming area with a quarry and several lighthouses if you're having trouble getting enough electronics for the sigil.
    • Use some star scrolls near your lighthouses to farm stars.
    • You shouldn't have any trouble getting enough slimes as long as you have that initial 500 slimes for making the first sigil. After that, just kill the boss near lighthouses and you'll get more than enough slime to keep making sigils.

  5. After getting the drones, keep farming King Slime but this time, use your spirit orbs to craft Attack Orbs or Ultra Attack Orbs. This will increase your damage and the drone's damage. Keep farming until you have ~500 damage per sword swing.
    Tips
    • Don't increase your damage too much as increasing it too much will bug out the game and your attacks will heal instead of damaging enemies.
    • You can check your current damage using a training dummy, crafted at the carpentry station. You might need to enable damage numbers in the secret settings. Check the secret settings section if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

  6. After that, use a shrine to get the dexterity buff. Use a Bloodfury Cocktail, a Dragon Philtre and a Thunderstrike potion (you should have quite a few by now thanks to Hermetics boon from the altar).
    Also grab at least 10-15 atomic bombs if you have them. Enter the void when you're ready.

  7. Now just enjoy killing everything AND mining every resource by just walking around.

  8. Every level should take about one minute until level 20. At level 20, you should start attacking enemies as a lot of bosses spawn and drones cannot take out that many bosses fast enough. I suppose you could still just walk and let the drones do the work but as I said, it'll be much faster if you attack too.
    For level 20+, use one atomic bomb at the start of each level to clear out most of the smaller non-boss enemies. That way, the drones will have an easier time focusing on the bosses.
    Tips
    • The Cosmic Bow is the best weapon for level 20+ as it's a ranged weapon and the shots pierce enemies. Not to mention they explode.
      If you have the skill Ballistics, your bow shoots three arrows at the same time. You can use this to deal massive damage to enemies if you use the bow at point-blank range.
    • A good sword + a good glove can be a good replacement for the bow.

  9. Continue like this until you reach level 30. You could always continue as this setup combined with max level boots (if you have them) and the evasion buff from Dragon Philtre basically makes you dodge most attacks. Even if you get low, you can always pop a healing potion which you should have quite a few by now (Thank you altar <3).

  10. Congratulations! You just completed the Void Master achievement and got super OP in the process.

  11. Now, you can use the resources you got from the void to easily craft Nuclear Machinery required to upgrade 100 buildings and get the Production Master achievement. Upgrade your factory to nuclear first. Then craft 50 nuclear machineries.
    As the building is a nuclear building, it crafts 2 items for the price of 1 so you'll end up with 100 nuclear machineries in the end. Now just get the builder buff from a shrine and place a bunch of cheap, upgradeable buildings like furnaces, forges or sewing stations.
    Upgrade them to nuclear and voila! You can destroy the buildings after you got the achievement.
Daredevil
Dodge a hit that would kill you otherwise.

Prerequisites
  • Upgraded boots (it doesn't necessarily have to be maxed out).
  • One Dragon Philtre.

Completing The Achievement
  1. Place a spike trap on the ground and walk over it until your at or close to 2 hearts.
  2. Use the Dragon Philtre.
  3. Walk over the trap again. Thanks to evasion buff from Dragon Philtre and the boots, you'll probably dodge the spike, which triggers the achievement. You'll die if you're unlucky and fail to dodge the hit but it's no problem. Just get back and try again.
    Tips
    • Alternatively, you can do basically the same thing but with bombs. Just decrease your health, use the potion and finally use a bomb and stay in the explosion radius.
Billionaire and Trillionaire
Earn 1B and 1T gold.

Prerequisites
  • Enough resources to make 15 lighthouses at the very least.
  • 9 spike traps.
  • Upgraded Nectrorod.
  • The Obliterator.

Completeting The Achievement
  1. Place the spikes in a 3x3 area.

  2. Use obliterator to dig around the area and make enough space for your lighthouses. Use a shrine to get the builder buff (to halve the cost for building). Build as many lighthouses as you can.

  3. Now just use the necrorod on top of the spikes to get gold, bones and skulls.

  4. After getting about 500M bones and skulls (which should take less than 5 minutes if you have enough lighthouses), go ahead and use a shrine to get the Merchant buff, that way the items sell at double the price. Finally, sell all the skulls and bones you have.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you get the achievements. This shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes.
    Tips
    • Having a fully upgraded wallet (Nuclear Wallet), the Dexterous buff from shrines and a fully upgraded amulet can speed up the process.
    • You can enable transparent buildings option in the secretsettings file if you're having trouble seeing behind the lighthouses. Check the section about secret settings if you have no idea what I'm talking about.
    • Here's an example of how this setup can look like:
Coin Collector
Collect 1M using banks. Unfortunately, this achievement will take a while.

Prerequisites
  • Enough resources to build at least 30 banks and enough power plants to cover them.

Completing The Achievement
  1. Use a shrine to get the builder buff. Now place as many banks as you can close to each and use power plants to cover the area.
  2. Mute the game if you want and minimize Forager. Just let it run in the background. It'll take some time (probably 1-3 hours depending on the number of banks) for the banks to finish their job and collect 1M coins. If you want to finish the achievement faster, try building more banks.
    Tips
    • Make sure you have the crafting mod installed if you really want to finish the achievement in 1-3 hours.
    • An example of how this setup can look like:
    Secret Settings
    In order to access the secret settings:
    1. Make sure the game is closed.
    2. In the windows search, type %localappdata% and press Enter.
    3. Find the folder named Forager and open it.
    4. There's a file called secretSettings.ini. Right-click on it and open it with Notepad.
    5. Change the 0 to 1 to enable any setting you want. transparentBuildings and damageNumbers are the ones mentioned in this guide.
    The End

    Feedback is always appreciated and have a good one!

    Note that too many power stations will actually slow down your bank production.

    thank you for that guide!

    @Mtext I'm not sure what you're doing wrong but I literally needed only 60 SECONDS to do 1 trillion. You don't even need to sell the skulls, you just keep spawning skeletons on the spikes and gather the coins they drop on the floor.... this is what 3 minutes of buffs + 30-40 lighthouses yielded me. https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2920924222
    I didn't sell a single skull. This is ALL from loot on the floor.
    LadySky89 18 Jan, 2023 @ 6:34pm 
    To make the 1 million coins from bank: do you have to do the million inside a bank (do you need to see 1M in the bank progress) or is it sufficient to loot as many banks as to make 1M coins (for example 10 banks at 10k would loot 1M and trigger it)?

    Thanks a lot for this guide.. I was thinking of ignoring these achievements altogether, but you make them sound very much possible!

    @Nilex
    Well I came back to this a year later to try again, and I guess my problem was that I was just going with the 15 or so lighthouses mentioned in the guide. After you gave me hope again I added another 12-15 lighthouses and while I still didn't get your 5-minute results (including the Dexterity and Hoarder shrine blessings and only selling under a Merchant blessing), I finally made that last 900B in about 45 minutes of idling. Much more manageable, thank you!

    if you use scaling cost anaihlator mod you will use less materials for lighthouses
    NOIRE- 6 Jan, 2022 @ 11:33pm 
    i would rank Challenge in 3rd place when using the dark shrine, simply because you can farm Hide too which is very hard to farm without using wizard scroll, potion is nice but late game I only ever need to use dragon philtre to boost dodge. Btw there are better alternatives to healing potion, rare catch from fish traps in graveyard/winter/fire biome heals for 5 HP, and i got 1 millions of those already (thx to lighthouse)

    @Mtext
    Your comment scared me a bit as I was preparing to do the same feat. Happy to report I've done it in under 5 mins (not counting 30 min prep) and without any mods installed. All it took were some 30-40 Lighthouses, upgraded Rod, end-game Gloves (attack speed), and two shrines (double loot & attack speed). In about 1 min I had 5B bones and 750M skulls that sold for about ~300B (with merchant buff). Surprised it went so smooth. You must have overlooked something simple.
    Now if only Banks produced money at the same rate they take it from us... for that 1M achiev.
    Mtext 13 Dec, 2021 @ 7:52am 
    Unfortunately in the time since this guide was written in early 2020, the game has severely nerfed either lighthouses, the price of bones and skulls, or both. After a solid hour of gathering bones and skulls this way on a strip of land surrounded by lighthouses filling the rest of the screen and then getting the Merchant blessing before selling them, I netted about 20 billion coins. It would take me 19 more hours to reach 1T at that rate...
