About Armor Aficionado achievement

[Peyo de la Mancha]

Hi

About this achievement, which requires to get 210 pieces of armor (all 10 full armors for all races), I'm not sure what to do :

-can I simply buy those pieces when I find a merchant selling them ?
- do I have to craft all of them myself ?

In the second case, is it in a same game or multiple ones ? Because I'm actually playing solo with a human character, and if I must craft them all, I don't see how I could do that for others races.

Thanks.

gather enough material for all the armors, and also fuel for long jumps, create 1 character of each race, visit their starting planets, and make the armors. Or just host a local server and connect 2 or more clients to it. I would do like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not sure to understand what you propose. What you say is to start a new game for each race (which means the achievement will stay across different playthroughs ) ?

And about the server, what do you mean exactly ?

For what i understand about this archievement, you are suposed to buy the other races armor from their respective merchants.

For the local server thing:
[your steam folder]/steamapps/common/Starbound/win64 or win32
there you can open starbound_server.exe for the server and starbound.exe for the clients.
Connect, invite them in your party, teleport to each other, have your main hold all the armor and done.

Note:
If you open this way it will only load mods from the Starbound/mods folder.

Ok, thanks for the infos. i'll try the solo way and if I managed to get the achievement, i'll indicate here.

You need, as with the other collections, have one of your characters pick up every single one of the 210 pieces of armor.
Since in vanilla merchants dont sell any tier 6 (solarium) armor, and you can only craft this tier for the race you currently play - human in your case - you need to create/have at least one character of every other race. Otherwise you won't have access to all pieces necessary in single player.
After you crafted the armors of every race; at least the unavoidable tier 6; you have to transfer all to one character. This is the method MkioTNT already suggested.
No need to create a local sever though, since all characters share the same universe folder anyway, but if you prefer to, then do.

Hi again. As you all suggested, I made as much as I could with my main character. I bought as much racial armor as possible and, as you predicted I had none of solarium ones.

However, as I was using commands to get some others achievements (because I just can't spend so much time to get them as expected, even if I don't like that), I realized crafting stations give you access to all racial armors if you have admin rights. So I just had to craft them all and destroy manually ressources normally used for that (which left me with very few ores I must say).

So, thanks again to all for all your advices. It helped me a lot.
