Achievements
Most achievements pop naturally as you play. Three need a plan: helping clean 10,000 regions, cleaning 100% of the moon, and the infamous 10,000 depot deposits.

Tip
Achievements can be slow to register. If you are sure you met a condition, keep playing for a minute or restart the game — the 10,000-deposit achievement in particular sometimes only triggers after a restart.

Strategy for the hard ones
Deposit dust at the depot 10,000 times
Counts deposits, not kilos, and only by hand at the depot. Run a Capsule Catcher's belt so capsules spill next to the door, or feed a belt straight into the depot door and hold E. Otherwise repeat Q (place a 1 kg capsule), F (pick up), E (deposit). Budget about three hours. Avoid relying on Express Dock, which empties your whole tool in one deposit if you hold E.
Help clean 10,000 regions
Drive across unclean territory dropping JONAS. Hexes robots finish while you are nearby count for you; robots far away do not.
Clean 100% of the moon
Scale JONAS to a few hundred, then use the station heat map and waypoints for the stragglers. Full plan in the 100% guide.
Start a game with a friend
Any multiplayer session counts, even a short one. If you play solo, invite someone for a minute at the end.
