Achievements won't re-enable after turning off console, and restarting the Game.
So, I Was Toying Around In The Creative Mode In Subnautica, Quitted then went Back To My Survival World, I Accidentally Press the "~" key and opened up The Command Console Again, Right After That, Found Out There's An Achievement When Called "Follow the Degasi", wiki said in order to obtain the Achievement I must "Discover the Degasi Seabase in the Jellyshroom Cave.", I Should've Gotten That Achievement Ages Ago. Just Checked My Achievements Again For Subnautica, Still Haven't Got It, Any Solution?

SO I spawned an item, then reloaded a save to before i did so, are my achievements going to still be disabled or no? Im worried I ruined my save.
It's permanent, sorry for that pal

Gonna have to go with another save for achievements

Possibly not, since you can't really "discover" a place twice, and the game knows that you have already been to that place for the 1st time.

You could try re-setting the cells cache. I'm not an expert on that, but it is a common enough recommendation that you should be able to search on "cells cache" here in the forum and find detailed instructions.

Re-setting the cells cache overall will restore all the terrain chunks to their original condition, and re-spawn and re-distribute all resources, so it will make the areas of the game you have already visited, scavenged, and mined in effect "richer". It MAY also reset some condition markers, and allow your next visit to the JSC to trigger the Achievement.

There is also a way to re-set just a single terrain chunk, which disturbs the "played" condition of the game less. If you can find the instructions for that refinement, you might be able to re-set just the southeast end of the JSC, for a similar result locally.

Other than that, you might have to start a new Survival and play along far enough to visit the DeGasi JSC. Not ideal, but with foreknowledge and no role playing you should be able to get there in just a few hours play, maybe even about an hour. But DON'T enable the console.

The Achievements carry over from playthrough to playthrough, so you should then be able to go back to your original game and carry it on to finish, with that Achievement accomplished.

you have to also collect the pdas found in the area for it to give you the achievement, the wiki does not state this, and which it really should

Thanks, GD. I did not know that one.

OP, be advised. There are at least a couple of PDAs associated with DeGasi Mid that are not IN the base wreck sites per se. You will need to do some outside searching.
Funne caps usage

copy that, I'll try it again. let you updated out.

Do you want to know how many total PDAs are in the JSC?
I don't know if you need them all for the Achievement.

In any case, look at this or not as you please:
There are 6 PDAs in and around the DeGasi structures in the JSC.

Lil Puppy,

What are the disabling CCs?

This is the first I have ever seen that only use of certain commands triggered the Disable Achievements. Always before I have seen "Enabling the console disables Achievements for that play session."

The CHEATS disable achievements.
https://subnautica.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands_(Subnautica)
The Events and General categories are cheats.
Technical category is just game settings
I'm not sure of the Teleports category.

Opening the console does nothing. I just tested it and I was able to get achievements after opening the console.

testing:
Use console command after opening a save: ResetAchievements
Save game
Exit game (completely to desktop)
Open game, open save.
Open console.
Go do something that gets achievement.
Receive achievement.

Just opening the console does nothing.

A few more words about this.

- The cheat flag will persist in other sessions in a future update like it is currently the case on Below Zero. If you're using experimental that is the case already.

- Opening the console does indeed nothing, you have to actively type in a command and validate. On the stable version, even a command that doesn't exist will disable the achievements on the session. Should be fixed in experimental.

As always, thanks for your clarifications, Ignis.

Out of curiosity, why will a future update make disabled Achievements persistent? Given that console commands are sometimes the only tool to recover from game glitches, etc? Are you guys THAT confident that you are going to permanently eliminate all sinking items, terrain mesh crossovers, etc?
Ignis Mar 24, 2022 @ 7:18am 
No.

But having achievements using cheats is in violation of a number of certification rules on consoles & windows store.

I love it when you make the sensible reasons for decisions show through.
