Can Em All hidden achievements: all four and how to fire them

The four Can Em All hidden achievements all require an action the game never asks for, and two of them need you to feed the player character into a machine. Nothing here is random: each one checks a specific state, and the exact state it wants is listed below along with the steps that produce it. The full list of twelve, hidden ones included, is in the achievements guide.

The four Can Em All hidden achievements and what each needs

Two of them are about the creatures you are processing and two are about you. The split matters because the two that involve your own body cost you the rest of the shift. All twelve, visible and hidden, are listed together in the achievements guide.

Human Meat: grind yourself in the processor

This one wants the player character inside the grinder, alive.

1. Make sure the crusher pit is unlocked and the processor is powered and running.
2. Stand next to the crusher and fire a weapon at the ground or at nothing in particular, so the crusher is not the thing doing the killing.
3. Walk into the crusher pit and let the teeth close on you.
4. The achievement pops at the moment the processor finishes the grind, and the day ends with it.

Do it with the processor already working. If the machine is off, nothing registers and you simply stand in a hole.

Special Delivery: throw yourself into the transport tube

This one wants the player character inside the transport tube — the same chute that normally takes your cans out to the delivery truck.

1. Empty your hands. Do not try this while the vacuum is holding a creature, or you will deliver the creature instead of yourself.
2. Walk into the mouth of the transport tube.
3. Let the tube take you. The game registers the entry as a delivery that should not have happened.
4. The achievement pops and the shift ends immediately.

The difference from Human Meat is the machine, not the intent: the processor grinds you, the tube swallows you. Both count as the player ending up as product.

Fresh Meat: grind a creature while it is still alive

This is the one you can farm, and it has three separate routes — a truck arrival you do not shoot, shoving a creature into the pit yourself, or carrying one in with the vacuum. The important part is that the creature must be alive when the teeth close, so bleed damage and turrets work against you here. The Fresh Meat guide goes through all three routes and explains why a kill that looked clean still does not count.

Not a Can: ship a body instead of a can

The transport tube normally takes cans. This one wants a raw creature's body in it instead.

1. Take a creature that is already dead — kill it with a weapon, or take a body left over from a Fresh Meat grind.
2. Carry the body to the transport tube.
3. Put the body into the tube rather than a can.
4. The achievement pops when the tube registers the delivery.

Nothing else has to be true about the body. A body that was killed on the floor counts the same as one that came out of the crusher. This one does not cost you the day, so it can be done whenever a body is to hand.

When to fire the two that end your day

Human Meat and Special Delivery both terminate the current shift, so spend them at the end of a run rather than the start of one.

1. Finish the factory first — the machines bought, the belts running, the normal upgrades taken.
2. Bank what you want to keep. What survives a factory sale and what does not is covered in the selling the factory guide.
3. Fire Human Meat or Special Delivery last, after everything else for that shift is done.
4. Start the next shift from the main menu's Continue option rather than a fresh run, so the factory state carries over.

How long a shift lasts, and what changes once the timer runs out, is in the day length guide. Because these two achievements only need the machine and the body to be there, they are also the two easiest to slip into a save you are about to sell.
