Saviour achievement
So I just completed a run of the New Home scenario, and the achievement I was going for did not unlock.

The only deaths I had were:
-Scouts who fought the polar bears
-A couple of Londoners who were banished for theft and assault
-The old man in the "Letter of Thanks" popup, which I thought was a scripted event. He was regular ill, not gravely ill.

Any ideas on what went wrong? All the bugs I've heard of were ones where people got the achievement when they shouldn't have, not vice versa.

The achievement is called the saviour and you expect it to unlock when you didnt save everyone till the end? LOL

The scouts are not scripted: there's a roughly 50% chance that your scouts die attacking the bears, and about a 50% chance that they're able to defeat the bears and take the survivors home afterwards (instead of the survivors coming back unescorted).

There also should've been an option besides banishing the Londoners: it might have been the suboptimal choice in your situation, but that's how achievements work.

Admittedly, none of those sound like "cold, sickness, hunger or overwork," so maybe the scouts are incorrectly flagged when they died to the bears?

I would add, don't pursue Houses of Healing and don't build it, I has one unexplainable death that happened overnight even though everything was in great condition, it doesn't ping that someone died but in the deaths yesterday it counts 1 =/

I'm trying for the Saviour achievement as we speak, and one of my scouts just had the polar bear encounter with the survivors... I defended the survivors and my scouts died, so now at the cross roads of whether to reload the autosave that day, and try to avoid this.

Does anyone know if this is going to count towards the no death stipulation?

Just load autosave, that's your best bet honestly.

Those no deaths are only in the city, if your scouts die in that location (with the bears or in Tesla City) don't affect the achievement, even the scripted death from Invernia doesn't count. Don't sign the healing houses due to the scripted death and it affects the achivement.
Not sure if the londoners leaving count but I recommend you to avoid them to leave the city.

Ps: Sorry if any mistakes is made in this comment, Enlish is not my mother tongue. Greetings :steamhappy:

THank you for the help! I am in the storm right now... 😮 -110 C on day 41... no deaths yet, lots of amputees, and there are 100+ freezing right now that aren't inside the ring. I vaguely recall an achievement for not building any steam hubs, so I'm going to see if I can get the saviour and that other one... 🙏 I also ended up getting two other achievements I didn't even know about...

Here goes, and your English is perfect! Greetings to you as well 😊
If you are wanting some advice on how to obtain achievements then I recommend using the Guide Tab/Achievements and search for Achievements Guide Organised by Scenario
By Hawkie (5 star rating).

Playing on Easy level is the same as the default level Medium, so take advantage of the extra materials at the start and the less severe game play.

Iron man achievements can only be made playing on Hard level and not Extreme or Winter Survivor game play despite them being a more severe game play level.

Winter Survivor game achievements is what it says on the tin, Extreme level game play does not count towards those achievements.

Good luck and have fun

Thanks for the guide recommendation!

I ended up getting the Saviour that run, along with Negotiator, Banksy, Charcoaled, and Central Heating.

Look forward to trying for the harder ones... I haven't explored the greater difficulty levels yet, but I've seen videos of people playing and it looks really intense. The whole no pause thing is truly hardcore, and really takes knowing the game to pull off.

Cheers!
