Support
Resolve 1000 support tickets

To acquire this achievement you have to resolve 1000 support tickets. This one will take a bit of time, you’ll need a website that is generating a lot of users that way you will get more support tickets. You also should make sure you have enough support staff to handle those tickets in a timely manner. Other than that it’s a bit of a waiting game for this achievement.

The Collector
Reach an inventory of more than 100,000 of the same component/module

To acquire this achievement you have to reach an inventory of more than 100,000 of the same component/module. There is two ways of this happened, 1. You acquire 100,000 of one particular item over time without the user forcing this (this will take a long time), or 2. Have your staff focus on one particular component/module (preferably one with quick production time) until you reach 100,000 of that item.

Small But Efficient
Reach 1,000,000 users while still in the smallest office building

To acquire this achievement you have to reach 1 million users while you are still in the first office building. This is relatively to do, just remember to plan carefully while working towards getting to 1 million users since you can only have 10 desks.

World Domination

The Overclocker
Produce 1 million CU with all servers at 200%

To acquire this achievement you have to produce 1 million CU with all servers at 200%. The easiest way to do this is to use a clock rate controller.

First, you’ll want to make sure ALL of your servers on are the clock rate controller. This can be done by clicking “Racks” (see screenshot below).

Next, you’ll go your controller and set your default clock rate to 200% (see screenshot below).

And that’s it! As long as you were already producing enough CU to be close to 1 million this should be enough to kick it over and get the achievement.

Sell Out
Own less than 10% of your own product

This achievement is a bit weird, the Steam information page says you have to own less than 10% of your website to get this achievement, however, I was able to get it once I had sold 51% of my website while still owning 49% (see screenshot below). Maybe a dev could clarify this.
