This unlocked for me a while after i did my last one (balatom bridge) when talking to the Shamen. It may be that is where it unlocks for everyone or maybe earlier if you did your 5 items earlier.

If you are following the Xbox One guide for this game, you may be confused with this achievement, thats because the Xbox One version requires 5 optional actions, while the PS4 version requires 10.
With that said, here`s a list of actions the count towards this trophy:
01.) Read emails on computer before speaking with detective Cantin (Clinic).
02.) Speak with two people regarding the local legend (Youkol Camp / Valsembor).
03.) Read Captain Obo's diary before speaking with Steiner (Valsembor)
04.) Read Captain Obo's diary before speaking with Obo in tavern. (Valsembor).
05.) Look at a statue of Automaton with the dog before entering Steiner's shop (watching a movie with Steiner). (Valsembor)
06.) Speak with the woman protester before apeaking with the Mayor;
07.) Check the radiation goggles machine on the ship (it's at the front of the ship and up the stairs) before talking to the captain (before breaking the ice). (Krystal ship) ADDITIONAL NOTE: You will have to exhaust the conversation with the captain about the ice breakers, etc, then start a new one with him – Kate will automatically ask about the goggle machine
08.) Read the photo diary before speaking with Katerina. (Baranour park)
09.) Restore power to the park before speaking to Oscar. (Baranour park)
10.) Unplug two carts on the railway before speaking to Oscar for the 2nd time (choose "advice" during the interview). (ADDITIONAL NOTE: You can unplug the carts before you even fix Oscar and it will still count towards the total – you don't necessarily have to do it between the first and second time you speak with him) (Baranour park) The trophy popped here!
11.) Pull the lever to lower the wheel to the bridge before speaking with the watcher. (river Balatöm)
The trophy should pop when that action pays off, for example, with me it popped when I talked to Oscar in the park, after turning the electricity off beforehand,

This one's a bit difficult to categorize in regards to what counts and what doesn't. This achievement boils down to "be psychic or use a walkthrough", meaning that you must perform certain actions before the game tells you that you need to do so.
Djtoko has compiled a list of known actions that count towards the achievement; there are likely others. I've put in a few clarifying notes as well:

I think that action 10 is to find seaweed in the subway before the Yukolov shaman asks for it (necessary in order to continue decontaminating Oscar). Until the algae is in your inventory, do not start a dialogue with it.
The trophy dropped out only after this, I also completed steps 4, 6, 7, 8.

(I haven’t tried it myself, maybe it will help someone) You must complete several optional actions that are related to progress in the game. You do these actions, as if ahead of the logical chain. This is about:
1.Read the captain's diary before trying to convince him. You will find it on the Crystal ferry on the top tier, where the helm is, on the table.
2.Restore power to the park before you are asked to do so.
3. Find out about second place in the beauty contest by reading the last entry from the photo album in the carriage before talking to Ekaterina.
4.Dump the carriages at Baranur Park before ordering Oscar to go ahead.
5.Talk to Kurk about bribing the Guardian before talking to him

before telling Oscar to go, ask him for advice

It was worth checking because I decided to take the simple path and fulfill only these five conditions. As a result, three evenings and no trophy.
I recommend fulfilling all the conditions for trophies as you progress. This will accumulate the required number of unnecessary actions.
