Extreme survival achievements

Did they raise the requirements to get these achievements? I thought it was 32 sol to unlock them all. It now shows me 44.200 minutes to get everlasting, I have also not unlocked the robust achievement and I'm at 22,000 minutes.

That achievement has always been a bit quirky. My understanding is if you die, it resets the timer and it will not start "counting" toward the achievement again until you pass wherever you were when you died.

So if you had 14 minutes in and died, you need to to redo those 14 minutes before it will start counting up again. Honestly, I have always just let that achievement occur naturally and never thought about it. Sooner or later you will spend enough time exploring extreme hazard planets and get the achievement.

As you probably know, it only works on an extreme hazard planet and while there is debate on when it counts, my understanding is you do not get credit inside a building or even underground. You have to be out in the elements.

It could just be time dilation for me avoiding getting dead, but the time seems to pass quicker if you are on an extreme planet with multiple threats. (extreme weather, extreme critters, extreme sentinels)

In any case, those multiple threat planets are the most interesting to explore because you really are having to manage your hazard protection and keep moving/dancing out of the way to have success.

At least in my experience, I have noted that often the timer will not start up again if I try to just keep going to the same extreme planet to get the achievement. Best to just find a new one.

As I noted at the beginning, the achievement is kind of quirky. On most of my saves, I just let it occur naturally rather then actively worry about it. It always happens if you play long enough.

Yeah, I got it just by playing normal on my psn account. When I got a pc I bought NMS and just partied up with myself on psn and swapped my inventory over. I already have platinum on PlayStation and i wanted to 100% it here too. But I'm on a planet right now that is extremely hot and has storms. It's so hot that it's constantly tracking while I'm outside, with or without the storms.

Just go into some cave... just wait inside. I got this achievements, just stand on ground inside the cave on extreme planet.

I think that has changed with the new update. I went in a cave and as soon as I got far enough in to where my shield stopped depleting it stopped tracking. How long ago did you get the achievement?

I do not know. I have not checked it. But what happens now on aggressive sentinel planets?That is where I maxed my achievement? Just questions because mine is maxed now.

I just got this achievement. Going into a cave is not working but you can dig a hole somewhere and stand inside, your shield stop depleting but, for the game, you're still under the planet's extreme conditions.

On an extreme cold planet: Build a cage to keep yourself from being blown away/out by a storm but that is open enough to expose you to weather. Then put a heater or fireplace next to you. Then wait. Last time I checked, which was a few months ago, that works.
