How many achievements are there?

Fifty-seven, including the achievements added with 1.0. The list below is the full Steam set as of November 6, 2026.

Farming and harvesting achievements

The planting counters are cumulative across saves within a world. Seed for Speed is the one that needs a specific setup: a high-tier Seed Shooter with the Seed Minigun mod, a large empty field and a seed stock ready before you start.

Land clearing achievements

These are pure grind. The Spike Saw's wide mode and the 1.0 weak-point bonus make clearing faster; do not save them for the end, because they accumulate naturally while you build.

Delivery and milestone achievements

Milestone 14 is the endgame delivery tier added in 1.0. The colony states are progression flags, not separate quests; they advance as you ship the required goods.

Neighbor and story achievements

The two neighbor lines unlock mechanics you want anyway: Diane's breeding and Ulf's seed splicing. Do them before the final deliveries.

Ranching achievements

Old Friend is a real-time wait: keep one animal alive and happy for 30 in-game days. Start the ranch early so this runs in the background. Born Lucky depends on rare variants, which breeding makes much easier.

Exploration achievements

Stratosphere Explorer is the 1.0 vertical challenge: upgrade Skyblazer and Hover Thrusters, then climb. What Lies Beneath requires a full artifact sweep, so stamp vaults as you find them.

Mech and base achievements

Coziness comes from decorations, and the 1.0 build adds bathroom and kitchen sets at 16 and 31 deliveries. Decorate the homestead early; the Homestead Swiftness buff is a practical reward on top of the achievements.

What is the fastest completion order?

1. Play the campaign normally until Milestone 14 and the ending. Most counters advance on their own.
2. Start the ranch early so Old Friend and the feeding counters run in the background.
3. Clear slime and weeds as you travel, not in a dedicated grind.
4. Save the counters for last: 1,000 mounds, 1,000 weeds, 300 slimes and 3,000 seeds.
5. Do the artifact sweep after you have Skyblazer; vertical traversal makes vaults much easier.
6. Finish with Seed for Speed and Stratosphere Explorer, which need specific setups.

FAQ

Do achievements unlock in co-op?

Yes. Progress is shared in the host's world, and guests contribute to the same counters. Achievement unlocks are tied to the account that performs the action.

Are there difficulty-specific achievements?

No. The 57 achievements are available on every difficulty preset.

What is the hardest achievement?

Stratosphere Explorer (900 meters) and Seed for Speed (3,000 seeds in 30 seconds) require specific 1.0 upgrades. Old Friend is the longest, because it needs 30 in-game days with one animal.

Can you still complete the game after the ending?

Yes. The world remains open after the credits, and the remaining achievements are still obtainable.
