Rainpunk foundry achievement

[Dantes]

Still cannot get it. What is the % of it to drop?
Is it in the production type?
Any tips?

[mostly willing]

it has 1/4 of the weighting of regular bps. it's under industry. it's mostly rng, but you could load into a CG game, send the first expedition, wait for it to return, and if it doesn't bring the foundry, just abandon. rinse and repeat till you get it

I had like 10+ hours of runs in that biome rolling for industry and still hasnt got it. What am I doing wrong? Is it like 1% chance to get it?

From what I remember reading, 1% is pretty spot on.

Its still the most ridiculous achievement in the game to obtain by far.

I dare not count up how many times I too have rolled industry and played a long game taking all the other industry buildings out of the equation.

The Finesmith is also incredibly rare, I have seen that pop up once.

from what I read, there's 13 buildings in the industry category on a fresh account. with finesmith and foundry at 25% weighting compared to others, you have 100/(11x4+2) = 2.17% chance for the foundry

at full citadel you have 25 buildings in the industry category. 100/ (23x4+2) = 1.06% chance for the foundry

Yeah, that suck ass. I am at 99% completed achievement and this last one is pure luck.

Start a new account and double your chances

You can always play longer game, try to get some Impatience reduction and get as many blueprints from other sources as you can, like from Traders.

[Dantes]

That's what I was doing the whole time.
I just started a new profile and hald a long game: got all the BPs from the rep and shops I could and then LPF dropped. GG. End of the subject.

This is dog ****. I have every achivement except this Feeling Lucky. I sent 200 expeditions and nothing. In one game I was pretty close bc I had like 25/28 production blueprints - still couldnt get rainpunk!! And after sending last expedition I could only receive tresuare NOT BLUEPRINT so I wasted nearly 2h of my life for this ......

[el Darkness]

2h for getting an achievement is not exceptionally long time. Also, yes after certain number of expeditions (I do not remember how many) you can no longer get blueprints, is this information not in game? I am pretty sure it is.

Start a new profile and do a long run. There will be only like 10-12 blueprints. Complete reputation goals to get some more BPs from it and you will have like 80% chance for the foundry

As much as I love this game, trying to get this achievement is a very frustrating and not a fun experience.

When one of the best options is to "Try to get it with a new profile", it's a clear sign of a very flawed idea. Achievements should not be so heavily based on RNG.

[_Q_]

I can confirm that doing this one on a brand new profile is the way to go. Got it on the first try after several failed attempts on a profile with all the buildings unlocked.
