This guide will help you in getting all the Steam achievements for Banished.

Settlement, Village and Town

"Reach a population of 300, 600, 900 citizens."

These are pretty straight forward in the sense that, building a big city will suffice. There are many guides about building big cities, so they will not be listed here.

One with nature

"Reach 400 citizens without building crops fields, orchards, or pastures."

The temptation to build farms, orchards and pastries can be big, so it is suggested to start at medium or hard difficulty to reduce the amount of seeds you start with. You can still trade for food from merchants if you worry about food variety. Just be sure to have enough food production to handle the loss of farms, orchards and pastries.

Isolationist

"Reach 300 citizens without building a trading post"

Just don't build the trader, it's that simple.

Golden Gate

"Build a bridge that is at least 50 units long."

Some maps might make it impossible to complete this, so be sure to check for sufficient spacing. Also be ready, for building a long bridge takes a lot of stone and time, and sometimes the builders will wander off to the other side to build, if they can. This can kill people if you're not careful.

Ready for anything

"Simultaneously store 2000 fuel, 2000 wood, 500 stone, 500 iron, 200 tools, 200 coats, and 30000 food."

Raise the limits on your production buildings, and just wait for it, it'll come in time. Also, it doesn't mean all have to be stored in the same storage building, multiple storages count too.

Builder

"Build a town that has at least one of every possible structure." (normal) "Build a town with 3 churches, 5 boarding houses, 4 markets, 5 hospitals, 2 trading posts, 6 taverns, and a town hall." (master)

Both this and Master builder are self-explanatory, just be sure to have enough resources available.

Built from stone

"Build a town with 100 stone houses."

Another self-explanatory achievement, but remember that stone houses take a lot of stone to build, and a too rapid rate of building can cause overpopulation and isolation of people.

Established, Tenure

"Build a town that has a population of 300 after 100 years." "Build a town that has a population of 500 after 200 years."

Big city achievements, but this time, you have a time limit on when to reach a certain population.

Educated, Uneducated

"Have a fully educated population with 200 adults for 4 years." "Reach a population of 300 citizens without building schools."

For the first one, just build a school early, like on year 2 or 3, to not get too many uneducated labourers. After you hit the limit, keep it that way for 4 years.

For the second one, just leave those schools for later. This can be hard, but it's possible.

Blacksmith

"Equip a population of over 200 adults with steel tools for 4 years."

Not hard to get, but the problem here is, people steal coal (needed to make the tools) to their own homes to heat the homes. Also, mines don't produce huge amounts of coal either, so merchants can be your best bet if you can get them to deliver it to you every trip.

Exports

"Stock the trading post with at least 500 ale, 300 steel tools, and 200 warm coats."

Just assign traders to the post, and raise the limits, and you'll get this in no time.

Farmer

"Acquire 3 livestock types, 8 crop seed types, and 8 orchard seed types."

This is easy if you have a lot of things to trade for. You can check the town hall to see what seeds and animals you already have. Easiest to get on easy difficulty, as you start with sheep and a lot of seeds.

Firefighter

"Build 20 wells in a single town."

Wells take stone to build, 40 to be exact, so be ready to commit. Otherwise, nothing too much to get it.

Food Variety

"Grow and harvest 8 different plants and 8 different orchard tree types in a single year."

Just build an orchard and a farm for each of the seeds, then just wait, and you'll get it at some point.

Foodie

"In a single year, produce at least 2000 food each from hunters, gatherers, fisherman, pastures, fields, and orchards."

I'm not yet sure if this achievement also allows you to get the food from multiple producers. Because getting 2000 of each resource from just one producer each is quite hard.

Healthy, Smiles All Around

"Maintain high health for 10 years in a town with at least 100 citizens." "Maintain high happiness for 10 years in a town with at least 100 citizens."

High "happiness" and "health" mean, by my experience, constant 4,5 stars or above. Building civic buildings and having a herbalist and a varied diet will easily get this for you.
