Low achievement rates

[CuriousCat]

I noticed that the achievement rates for this game are very low. Only 11 percent have done things necessary to complete the game and I can't say why. Do people just play in creative mode? Use mods and cheats? Not go online? It feels odd that only 11 percent of players have finished the game.

Bugs are part of the equation, when I completed it the first time, my ISP had some issues so the connection was unreliable, so I was basically playing in offline mode due to connection issues, which at that time at least disabled achievements for that save.

I think most people just get bored along the way. I mean, just half of the game owners have build a base or a Seamoth.

Just checked Xbox achievements, and only 3.59% have launched the rocket.

Many played the game in early access before there were achievements, completed it and moved on.

Last 2 achievements were bugged first few months after game released. You had to switch to experimental version to get the time capsule one and launching the rocket. So probably add 20% more to that

It does make sense for the Early Access bit. I have been playing Satisfactory and didn't realize there weren't achievements. Again, early access.

Also, some may not realize that if they have enabled the console, Achievements are turned off in that play session. Further, I don't think that there ARE any Achievements awarded in Freedom mode. I suspect that a lot of people say, "Oh, I'll try it first in Freedom mode", finish the story, realize that the game won't really be different in Survival except for the time they have to put into sustenance (which I happen to LIKE as a continuing challenge), and never do a Survival or Hardcore run.

Finally, a lot of people may try it, realize it isn't for them because they keep drowning or starving in the first few hours. Perhaps they don't understand those skills, or perhaps they are most motivated to try to follow the story, before they have polished their survival skills. We certainly see plenty of newbie players appealing here that they just don't know what to do next. Many, many more private or more casual players who can't figure what "the next step" is probably just quit instead of asking..

Mainly this.
