Introduction:
They may be small, but they build BIG! In Little Big Workshop, you'll create and grow your very own elf-run table-top workshop. From rubber ducks to robots, you'll need to buy machines, employ workers and take on new clients to grow your profits and your reputation. You'll need to watch the market for fluctuating prices to make sure that you're selling your goods for the highest dollar possible to max out your profits. Use level points to unlock perks and additional abilities to make your employees more efficient and to keep your cost of goods low. Slow and steady wins the race in this build-to-be-the-best simulator!
Error Code CE-34878-0: Everyone's favourite. Save often. There's a chance you'll get this game crash error when you've built up your Workshop a pretty good deal, though it's unclear as to why exactly it happens. Unfortunately, it messes up your save files. The game has an autosave system that saves after every client challenge you complete and/or each time you level up your Factory. When you get this error, your autosaves will become corrupt and it's unlikely you will be able to load them. For the most part, the main saves appear to be unharmed by this error, though there is a small risk that those will become corrupted as well. Instead of hitting "Continue" from the main menu, go to "Load" and look for the last physical save you made and choose to load that. It's likely you'll lose some progress because of this, but it's better than losing your entire save and everything you've done up to this point. If you're playing and you feel your game starting to lag (especially when opening up menus - they should normally take 1-2 seconds, when they lag, they can take 4-5), this is a pretty good sign that the game is struggling to keep up with everything going on. Save and exit the game and close the game app. Restart it and when you start up your game, it should kick back into gear accordingly.
There is another issue with the game outside of the CE error mentioned above but it's far more manageable than dealing with corrupt save files. If you try to go through too many menus in quick succession, you run the risk of one of them freezing and remaining open on your screen. You'll need to save your game and back out to the main menu to get it to go away. Absolute worst case you'll need to save and completely exit the game app, then start it back up. This is almost guaranteed to happen from time to time as you get used to the game mechanics but as stated, it's easily fixed, even if just a tad annoying.
Walkthrough:
Step 1: Get Your Factory to Level 40
Choose to play the tutorial or skip it, it's up to you. If this is your first time playing this game, it's highly recommended you go ahead and play through it. This will be the grindiest trophy out of all of them to get and you'll more than likely earn a handful of others along the way. You want to put your focus into getting all of the Clients reputation levels up to 5 and completing their final challenges. Be sure to grow your factory alongside these client challenges and not outside of them. This will prevent you from getting too big early on and spending more money than you can spare. Try your best not to unlock any additional plots until you've reached $1,000,000 in savings, though if you need to expand, purchase the smaller plots only after you've unlocked the discount perk (see Explorer ). Focus on unlocking the "Specialists" perks and any Discount-related perks first, as this will make your Workshop much more efficient to run. Outside of the client challenges, you also want to be sure to pay attention to the Milestone Challenges. There are 4 tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Champion. You should be close to done (if not completely done) with the Champion tier by the time you reach Level 40. It is incredibly likely your factory will be open for well over 365 days by the time you reach Level 40 so don't worry too much about the days, just make sure you're keeping your employees happy and your workshop open.

Step 2: Clean-Up
You shouldn't have too much left over by the time you reach Level 40. You might be short on the $1,000,000 trophy and possibly the Champion Milestones. Keep completing high pay-out jobs until you reach 1 million. From there, you can start purchasing all the plots available. If you managed to stay in the positive money-wise up until now, you'll need to dip into the negative and then get yourself back out. This can be done on a separate save file though, as you'll need to start a new game to get the second tutorial-related trophy (whichever one you didn't get in step 1). Whether or not you bought the "increased output" perk, you should be able to find a basic product that has more than 50 demand so you can sell 50 of one product at once for Massive order . You have more than likely already purchased 20 basic workstations but if you haven't, buy however many you still need. If you haven't been training your employees in specialities, you'll also need to finish that up here. Lazy Pete
should be the main one that you need to go out of your way for so see that trophy for more details.
