Compare both requirements →Long-Term Achievement
How to Get Total Awareness — 420M Data
Exact Requirement
Accumulate 420,000,000 Data.
The achievement uses the persistent collected Data stat. It does not require 420M in one run.
Data Is Not Cash
Raw Data
Counts toward the achievement
× Data Price
Converts collection into Cash
Prestige Earnings
Further increases Cash
Having 420M Cash does not mean the 420M Data condition is complete.
Progression Recommendation
Let this grow across normal ending and Prestige runs instead of stopping your first run solely to grind 420M Data.
Later Skill Trees, automation, combat tools, and stronger farm builds make high-volume collection more comfortable.

What Actually Improves Raw Data Throughput?

Data Price and Prestige Earnings improve Cash directly. They help Raw Data only indirectly by funding stronger upgrades sooner.

| Tier | Base Data / HP | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1 / 3 | ~0.333 |
| Corporate | 20 / 60 | ~0.333 |
| Government | 300 / 1,000 | 0.300 |
| Recursive | 5,000 / 40,000 | 0.125 |
If Recursive targets die slowly, raising their share can reduce real Data/sec. Confirm combat capacity before pushing more Tier Chance or Density.
Setup Achievement
How to Get Total Awareness — 10 Vision Orbs
Exact Requirement
Have 10 Vision Orbs active at once.
This is not the cumulative 420M Data achievement. Vision Data spawns over time; destroying it creates a Vision Orb.
Players may also search for these as “Light Orbs.” This guide uses Vision Orb consistently.
6 / 10
60%
The verified trigger counts 10 Vision Orbs active at once—not ten lifetime Orbs across unrelated sessions.
Achievement Blocker
Vision Orbs Stopped Appearing?
Check the Chapter 3 Lv7 Tyrant AI Perk before assuming you are simply unlucky. That specific choice applies −100% Vision Chance.
Tyrant itself is not forbidden; the conflict comes from one specific choice.
Achievement-Focused Build
Best Setup for 10 Vision Orbs
Use
Protector-friendly / Vision-friendly
Chapter 3 Lv7 can add +15 Vision Chance; Chapter 4 Lv5 can add another +5.
Improve
Vision Chance + Lifetime
Chance creates more opportunities; Lifetime helps keep ten Orbs active simultaneously.
Avoid
−100% Vision suppression
Replace the conflicting Tyrant choice before the attempt.

Can Every Route Get 10 Vision Orbs?
| Setup | 10 Vision Orbs |
|---|---|
| Protector / Vision-friendly | ✓ Recommended |
| Rational | ✓ Possible |
| Tyrant without suppression Perk | ✓ Possible |
| Tyrant with −100% Vision Perk | ✕ Bad setup |
When to attempt it: wait until Vision Chance and Lifetime are developed and your build can handle the current target supply without ending the setup too early.

Separate a hard Perk blocker from an unlock or low-chance problem before changing your whole route.

The Chapter 3 Lv7 Tyrant choice can apply −100% Vision Chance.
Change the conflicting Perk and complete a new session before attempting 10 Orbs.

Tyrant can earn the achievement if you avoid or replace the suppression choice.
Risk: Chapter 3 Lv7 may apply −100% Vision Chance.
Setup Recommendation
If you follow Rational → Protector → Tyrant, the Protector run is a convenient time for 10 Vision Orbs. It is not mandatory; any route without the hard blocker can qualify.

Fast Answers
FEED THE AI Total Awareness FAQ
Why are there two Total Awareness achievements?
Steam lists two separate achievements with the same displayed name: one for 420M cumulative Data and one for 10 Vision Orbs active at once.
Does 420M Cash count?
No. The requirement is cumulative Data. Data Price and Prestige Earnings increase Cash, not the Data counter directly.
Do I need 420M Data in one run?
No. The verified condition uses the persistent collected Data stat, so it accumulates across progression.
Why are Vision Orbs not appearing?
First confirm Vision is unlocked. Then check the Chapter 3 Lv7 Tyrant Perk that can apply −100% Vision Chance.
Do I need Protector for 10 Vision Orbs?
No. Protector is convenient because it offers Vision bonuses, but Rational and Tyrant without the suppression choice can also qualify.
Can Tyrant get the Vision achievement?
Yes. Avoid or replace the specific Tyrant choice that applies −100% Vision Chance.
Do Vision Orbs help combat?
Yes. Vision Zones can increase Finder and AI Attack Speed and Attack Range.
Which Total Awareness should I do first?
A practical recommendation is to complete 10 Vision Orbs once your build supports the setup while letting 420M Data accumulate naturally.
