Depending on the range of interactions and hopping amplitudes, we unveil a rich phase diagram including antiferromagnetic orderings, charge density waves and subleading, superconducting pairing tendencies. For certain parameter regimes we find a competition of phases, which is also common in crystals, but additionally encounter phases coexisting in a spatially separated fashion and ordering tendencies which mutually collaborate to enhance their strength. We therefore establish that quasicrystalline structures open up a route towards this rich ordering behavior uncommon to crystals and that an unbiased, beyond-mean-field approach is essential to describe this physics of quasicrystals correctly.
