Quick Answer
Activate the Cargo Elevator without using a Fuse to unlock Many Ways. For the We Were Here Tomorrow Many Ways achievement, ordinary elevator activation alone does not satisfy the requirement. Knowledge Transfer requires restoring power to the Temporal Research Centre.
How Do You Unlock the Many Ways Achievement in We Were Here Tomorrow?
Activate the Cargo Elevator without using a Fuse to unlock Many Ways. Both parts matter: you must activate the elevator, and you must do it without the Fuse. Simply reaching the Cargo Elevator is not the objective.
Keep that restriction in mind when deciding how to proceed. If your goal is Many Ways, choose your approach around leaving the Fuse unused. A solution that gets the elevator working with a Fuse achieves a different objective from the one you are pursuing here.
| Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Many Ways | Cargo Elevator activation without a Fuse |
| Onwards and Upwards | Cargo Elevator activation |
The distinction is the extra restriction attached to Many Ways. Onwards and Upwards concerns activating the Cargo Elevator; Many Ways concerns how you activate it. Treat them as separate targets when planning an achievement run, even though both descriptions point you toward the same elevator.
Activate the Cargo Elevator Without a Fuse
This is the one most pairs miss on a normal run. A streaming duo checking their list at the finale said: "the only achievements we wouldn't have gotten is activated the cargo elevator without using a fuse and then collect all unique plushies." If you used the Fuse the first time, you got Onwards and Upwards — the game even reads it out ("Activated the cargo elevator… Onwards and upwards") — but not Many Ways.
This is the approach to choose when you want Many Ways. Your target is a working Cargo Elevator with no Fuse used to activate it. Avoid treating the Fuse as a necessary part of your achievement objective just because it belongs to an elevator solution.
Before committing to a solution, tell your partner that you are going for the achievement with the Fuse restriction. That gives you a clear shared objective: solve the elevator while leaving the Fuse out of the activation method. Discussing that requirement first helps keep an ordinary elevator solution from becoming your default plan.
Activate the Cargo Elevator With a Fuse
A Fuse-based activation does not satisfy the requirement for Many Ways. Getting the elevator working is enough for the ordinary activation objective, but the additional restriction is what separates the achievement you want from that broader task.
Choose this approach only if ordinary activation is your immediate goal rather than Many Ways. Do not use the fact that the elevator works as a substitute for checking which achievement condition you have fulfilled.
Onwards and Upwards is a separate achievement. Its elevator activation objective does not mean you have fulfilled Many Ways. For help with progression beyond an individual achievement target, follow the We Were Here Tomorrow walkthrough.
Some players have reported reaching the finale while still missing the achievement for activating the Cargo Elevator without a Fuse. That experience makes this a useful objective to keep in mind during progression, rather than assuming that reaching the end also covers the restricted elevator solution.
How Do You Unlock Knowledge Transfer in We Were Here Tomorrow?
Restore power to the Temporal Research Centre to unlock Knowledge Transfer. The target is the centre's power supply, so focus on that objective when pursuing this achievement.
Unlike Many Ways, the Knowledge Transfer condition does not include a Fuse restriction. Keep the two descriptions separate: the elevator achievement asks for a particular activation method, while Knowledge Transfer asks for power restoration at a named location.
| Achievement Detail | Target |
|---|---|
| Achievement | Knowledge Transfer |
| Location | Temporal Research Centre |
| Objective | Power restoration |
If you are working through this area, continue with the TRC and Symbol Synthesis walkthrough. Keep the full location name in mind as you follow the chapter: Temporal Research Centre is the place named by Knowledge Transfer, and restoring its power is the result you are aiming for.
The Cargo Elevator's Fuse restriction belongs to Many Ways. Do not carry that restriction over to Knowledge Transfer when deciding what your current objective requires.
When choosing what to pursue next, match your target to your current task. If you are dealing with the Cargo Elevator, concentrate on the no-Fuse condition for Many Ways. If you are restoring the Temporal Research Centre's supply, concentrate on Knowledge Transfer. These achievements describe different objectives, so completing one is not a replacement for completing the other.

FAQ
Get the Cargo Elevator working without using a Fuse. Many Ways adds that restriction to the elevator activation objective.
No. Using a Fuse to activate the Cargo Elevator does not meet the Many Ways condition.
Bring power back to the Temporal Research Centre. Knowledge Transfer concerns that location's power restoration, while Many Ways concerns the Cargo Elevator.
