Same Official Name · Two Conditions
Why Are There Two Total Awareness Achievements?
Steam Naming Conflict
Steam lists two different FEED THE AI achievements with exactly the same name. They are separate achievements with different requirements.
420M Data · Long-term progression
Total Awareness
Collect 420,000,000 total Data
Build this across Prestige runs. It counts Data—not Cash.
10 Vision Orbs · Gameplay challenge

Use Vision chance and lifetime. Avoid the Tyrant −100% Vision choice.
Dedicated Attempts
Hardest FEED THE AI Achievements

Data Breach
One Firewall steals 200 Data particles
Why it’s tricky: The counter tracks particles—not simply 200 Data—and the Firewall wants to escape.
Setup: Let it collect first, do not let it escape, then kill it after the threshold.

System Infection
5 Malware Orbs active at once
Why it’s tricky: Your own Protector Perk can reduce Malware Chance by 100%.
Setup: Use a Tyrant-friendly setup and increase Malware chance/lifetime.

Run 2
Protector
Exactly +100 Karma · 10 Vision Orbs · Protector route completion
Run 3
Tyrant
Exactly −100 Karma · 5 Malware Orbs · optional Data Breach setup
A well-planned three-ending cycle can cover most route-specific requirements, but dedicated cleanup attempts may still be needed.
