extreme survival milestone

[Icedfate]

"suvive for ## SOLS on extreme planets" the wiki page says that to get rank 10 on this, it all has to be done in 1 sitting , on the same lanet, on foot, without getting into the ship.

apparently, to get to rank 10, you need to survive a total of 64 sols with 15 minutes real time per sol, for a,total of 8 hours sraight.

just playing the game, i discovered this is not true.

the game just keeps track and accumuates it over time.
i inowmthis because i spent 2 hours on an extreme planet to get to rank 4

and then imjust spent another hour on a different planet it it just awared me with rank 5, says i completed 12 sols so far.


dunno if anyone cares about this info, or maybe everyone already knows this.

i'm just pointing out that the wiki info is wrong.
i guess it's from a previous version that got patched out?


edit : nevermind, i misread the wiki, it says the longest cumulative time without dying.
i thought it meant the longest cumulative time on the same planet.

so yeah, i guess 8 just have to make sure i don't die. . not like it's easy to die, lol. i only ever died once and it was at the very beginning of the game when i destroyed a whispering egg. .

I suspect the wiki is wrong about a lot of things now the game has been through so many changes. I've noticed some galaxy types don't seem to match up with wiki also.

actual, i edited my post to reflect that i misread the wiki page.
i just have to not die

In most of my saves, I just do what comes naturally and it happens. I do enjoy maxing out my hazard protections and exploring on extreme worlds.

The only clock block I have ever seen is if you leave an extreme planet and return. The clock appears to stay stuck until you have passed the time you originally spent on that planet. Best to just keep moving on and find a new extreme planet.

That was my last milestone. Got tired of trying to have it occur on it's own. I found a suitable planet, set a base computer down, built a single cube room with a door, went inside and went to bed. Next morning, milestone complete.

yeah, that's what the wiki says to do. it feels cheap. but then again, 8 hours is a long time to sit there playing on one planet.
i'm starting to feel like this game,does not respect it's player's time.

like i'll see someone has 9000 hours played, but is that really 9000 "played"?

or is it more 5000 hours traveling to waypoints, 3000 hours managing inventory, 500 hours mining resources, 200 hours watching loading screens. . .

anyway, i'll probably end up doing that. i'll have to disable my computer's sleep function.
I just fell asleep with the game running 3 hours ago in my chair and woke up to see my computer was asleep and had to wake it up. I read that it doesn't count the time if the game is minimized in any way

the answer is very simple, you go to an extreme planet, make a cave and spend 8 hours reading a good book, after those 8 hours you will have the achievement, it is not cumulative in the case of extreme death

The easy way to do this while making money is getting 3 S class hazard protection for hot planets. You can fly from storm crystal to storm crystal because hot air makes the jet packs more efficient in the game and you can stay air born for a long time.

Unrelated to the topic but this has always bugged me because in reality jet engines are more efficient in cold air. Yeah, that just kinda annoys me, but moving on... fly around, collect storm crystals and get the achievement!

There is nothing in perm death mode like being drawn to a blizzard, if it's already uncomfortable in normal mode, in perm death mode you only have one option and that is to close the game before it crashes you.

The wiki is wrong about just about every topic more often than it is right.

i landed on a planet once and it had "high winds" and a storm appeared and there was a tornado in the storm and i was at an aliem trading post and suddenly the tornado grabbed me and i was spinning and spinning around in the air and couldn't control my guy and then it let me go from really high up and i almost died from fall dmaage
