Boots on the Ground

[willia451]

I picked up this achievement today. You get it when you have landed on 100 planets. But I was surprised to see only 4.5% of players have the achievement. Are the vast majority of players just staying in the major cities or something? Isn't anybody getting out there and exploring? Just found a really cool abandoned farm today where all the scientists had been killed by local wildlife. Must have been 50 or so dead scientists. And guess what? All of their pockets were stuffed with credits. Easy money.

After you realize that all planets have the same copy and paste buildings and caves theres no point in exploring.

I know but people like you take all the fun out of the game. :(

I have found a cave or two with some goodies but mostly barren as expected. Structures on the other hand occasionally have some baddies to kill

I just got Boots on the Ground yesterday. Whenever a quest sends me to a planet, I 100% survey every planet in that system. I found a Freestar Sec Pikup II cargo hauler ship where the crew had all been killed. It's a HUGE ship 0ver 160,000 value with 1254 cargo capacity (which I more than doubled). I gather a lot of resources! However, even though it is meant to be a hauler, it is better than a lot of ships in battle. People who say the planets are all empty, aren't looking very hard.

Both using mods and using the console disable achievements.

The game has only been out a month. Not everyone can spend 3 or 4 hours a day on it to get this achievement in the first place. I'm 95 hours in and only visited about 50 planets. I'll get the 100 eventually but I won't do it just to unlock the achievement.

That's probably where most of the complaints come from, people doing that and not playing the game, so they think it's just a bunch of loading screens and empty planets. Because seriously, only 4.5% of players would want to do that. Congrats.

Absolutely, I'm in that phase of "some missions are great" and "I can't stand ship meetings anymore, everyone says the same lines over and over again" and "I really want to play the game again with N+ ? ??" so I fired everyone, including Alexa and Siri, and started jumping from system to system, pure boredom and repetitive, and more with the fast travel key...rolling the dice...

I have a few missions left to do and maybe I'll go to the N+ game to do the Crimson Fleet mission but that's it, the 1000 planets thing is 🤢.

I have landed on 135 planets, but the achievement never activated for me. No mods, just a bug, I guess.

I started in early access. That actually bugged the some of the Steam achievements in that you did it, but you didn't get credit.

I had to start a new character to get "Joined Constellation" which is one of the first accomplishments.

They may have used mods/console commands and have disabled achievements, or stopped playing. The list shows only 88% have entered space for the first time, and you get that on the start of the game.

Were you early acccess? I was, and for some reason Steam did not record many of the achievements during early access.

I started a new character last week to pick those up. I didn't have 'Joined Constellation' or 'Entered Space' along with a few other basic, early-game achievements.

weird.. because I started in early access too and all the achievements worked fine. Could be something else that caused it. Not sure what though :/

For some, I would dare to say most, Starfield is only playable with mods and mods disable achievements. There is an achievement enabler, but that does not count and work for global view.

Same here, starting playing it on the early access launch day and had no issues with achievements.

Not too surprising in my opinion, because we can complete the main story and faction quests and even some companion storylines long before touching a 100 planets.

General progress is way more surprising tho, as the main story itself is not quite that long, especially if the Player stays focused on it.

I think a lot of players simply quit due to battling the UI lags/interrupts and loadingscreens, it takes some time to get accustomed to those.

You gotta play a lot to even find 100 planets. Does that include moons?

I'm probably at 30 - 50.
