Fill Up The Hole: Tips and 100% Achievement Guide

Welcome! Most of the achievements are self explanatory, but I thought i’d put them all into a nice guide for anyone who wants to 100% the game or needs some help with some of the mechanics.

There are 3 money based achievements. You’ll get them naturally through playing the game

Red Shards are found after a building’s mini-game is played and durability reaches zero. There’s only one achievement related, but you need at least 6 red shards for the good ending.

Helipad Mini-game

Hanger Mini-game

House Mini-game

These 4 achievements you will probably get just by playing the game.

Building The Future – Unlock a new building type

I Like This – Build the same building twice

Power Through Destruction – Have a building reach durability level 5

Master Builder – Reach level 10 with any building

For these build a research lab, later on the Temple can also net you some RP

Point of Discovery – Earn 500 RP

Knowledge Seeker – Earn 2,500 RP

Research Power – Earn 10,000 RP

To nab this one, just assign all your peons to building and let it all pile up, or just play naturally. You’ll be slinging tons of trash in no time.

Waste Wonderland – Have 400 trash on screen

Each time you fill the hole an earthquake will happen. You’ll get this one naturally

Seismic Force – Trigger 3 earthquakes

There’s tons of abilities on the tech tree to choose from. Once you’ve purchased one, you can click the icon in the top left to activate it. I found Clone and Bliss to be very helpful abilities through my playthroughs.

Ability Activation – Use an ability

Click them clouds until they burst!

Cloudbuster – Manually destroy 10 clouds

When playing I would invest points into the rock technology for faster yellow shards and more trash

Rock Smasher – Break 3 rocks

You can research faster mining in the research lab to increase mining speed. Some important upgrades are nice to have, especially Throw Right and Rock Throw+ upgrades. This will help you keep your rock from becoming overflowed. Since it’s always the farthest thing from you. Others are Rock, the blue Mining node, Scaffolding, and the yellow Mining node.

Destroying all the rocks wakes the Golem. He will do a good chunk of damage to your buildings and give you some money along with his achievement.

Wake Up the Golem – Wake Up the Golem

Throwing Peons FTW!
If you can’t pick up the peons make sure your building focus is turned off in the top right.

Gods Hand – Throw 5 peons

Sacrifice – Let 5 peons sacrifice themselves (This achievement is misleading. Just 5 of them into the hole)

Books are acquired when a level 10 building’s durability is reduced to zero.
Helpful for reducing the cost of a building or upgrading the building to always complete the mini-game

Knowledge is Power – Obtain a book

This one is pretty self explanatory. Just make multiple copies of buildings and use them a bunch. You can check progress by looking in your quests section

Catapult – Use a catapult building 1000 times

Factory – Use a factory building 1000 times

House – Use a house building 1000 times

Research Lab – Use a research lab building 1000 times

Compressor – Use a compressor building 1000 times

Bad Ending

You will get this achievement by filling the hole and not building the temple’s lazer.

---

Good Ending

To get this you’ll have to build the temple and upgrade it a few times to unlock the lazer power. It will take 6 red shards, so you’ll have to complete 6 different buildings mini-games and have their durability reach zero.
