How to get it
- Build your plot far enough that Big Oil Inc opens as a destination.
- Go to the confrontation — John Oil turns and talks: "Turn around slowly... Big Oil. Is that you? John Oil."
- Blow it up. He warns you — "You can't blow up Big Oil" — and you do it anyway.
- Watch the result. The building goes: "It is gone. This is crazy."
- Return to your plot — the ending registers, ENDING 1 fires, and Miguel's gift is waiting (droppers run 25% faster in a verified run).
What happens after
The plot continues. This is not a delete-your-game ending — the world stays, Miguel stays, and the gift persists through rebirth. What you do not have is the True Ending badge.
Getting both endings
The game is built for replay. A verified run noted "I'm going to have to do every single ending" and planned three more runs. Rebirth resets the plot but keeps badges, secrets and gifts — so the second ending is a rebuild, not a restart.
The decision point
You will know it when you reach it: the confrontation with Big Oil Inc, the choice laid out, no timer and no wrong-door penalty. Blow it up awards ENDING 1 immediately — the badge fires, the story closes, and you return to your plot with nothing else to do but keep building.
Step by step
- Build your plot far enough to reach the confrontation — the story gates on progression, not on secrets.
- Go to the confrontation when it opens.
- Choose to blow it up.
- Watch the result — the sequence is the ending; skipping it earns the badge anyway but costs the payoff.
- Return to your plot — production resumes as before; workers will have held the line if you hired them (workers).
Getting both endings
The badge persists and the game does not punish replay, so the standard route is: Ending 1 now, True Ending next. What carries over is everything that matters — your build, your badges, your exploration. What does not carry over is the choice itself: the confrontation presents again, and the other answer is one click away. Most of the 30.2% who hold this badge also hold the True Ending, because doing the common one first turns the rare one into a replay rather than a decision.
What players report after choosing it
The common report is that the sequence delivers exactly what the setup promised, and the second report is that players immediately replay for the other one. That second impulse is why the badge tables show heavy overlap between Ending 1 and the True Ending — see the endings index for how the two clear rates pair up.
