If you miss an achievement, or a milestone you have to restart.

I'm playing 1.0 with a buddy, and while I was not connected he did one or more of the miles stones, and now i wave to start a whole new save and do them again to get completion. There has to be a better way, same with the phases. I'm trying to do 100% and didn't realize they lock you out like that, so don't mess it up like I did, and maybe there will be an update to address it at some point.

That's kinda messed up ngl... now I feel bad for the three other people I'm playing with because they have missed at least one each..

Makes sense that if you're not there you miss out though, eh?

sure, but this games takes 100+hrs to beat (I just beat it after 1.0 ), and i'm note sure i want to do it all again. just for one achievement i worked on but wasn't there to watch him pull the lever.

But the achievements would be ever more pointless if anyone could join a server with everything unlocked and instantly get all of the achievements.

Sounds more like something you should talk to your buddy about than an issue with the game, really.

Does it not feel weird that a friend who is there 99% of the time in a 200+ hour save has to repeat everything alone sometime because they missed one thing?

Doesn't sound like a friends to me. Sounds like someone who only cared about themselves. Could have waited for that friend to come back and then unlocked the tier ;)

No? If you don't want to miss an achievement, agree things like "don't progress phases without everyone present" etc. with the people you're playing with.

I'm not really seeing the problem...they should be there when the thing is triggered or not get credit. Like the other guy said it shortcuts would render achievements here completely obsolete.

oh my god shut up, I was making food fully aware he would continue (and unlock a few things here and there) like in the same room, you're saying I should have to just leave the GPU on for no reason. Guess my character will never sit down :P

it's a short sighted design!!!!

does it occur to you that the friend who gets the completion achievement also "cheated" by having me build that huge steel factory the entire time they went hard drive hunting?? same deal.

It'd be way cooler if players had a home hub, and a list of specific achievements record to the hub when they are completed by any player. When a player loads it checks is this their home hub, if yes are there pending achievements, boom achievement granted achievement queue does its thing.

Nobody knows that when they start the game though, it doesn't say that anywhere.

I unlocked jumppads while someone was eating before they got on and not at one point did I consider that it would invalidate them from having completed all milestones with us in the game.

Having everyone have to be playing to make ANY progress for them to get the achievement is really anti-multiplayer and antifun. I'm already anticipating having to savescum to have everyone buy and get the golden nut, but hearing that because someone else was too busy for a session so they're permanently locked out of the 100% on our save is really unfun, and I don't get why it should be that way

This is how it works in every game, and is your friend fault for playing without you.

The alternative would be to give you the achievements after you rejoin, that would make people start cheating the achievements by joining others lobbies.

I'm guessing because I researched inhaler right before someone got on, they're ♥♥♥♥♥♥ out of that achievement too... really fun...

In other games if you miss something you can just go back and do it with that friend, in this game once the milestone is done you can't go back and do it again. Why are you defending this? Its pure ♥♥♥♥ for multiplayer lobbies. We have 4 people playing on our server all doing equal work, and I'm the only one that's going to get these achievements, thats ass. Have you ever tried organizing 4 people to play something constantly together? No way it should be like this.

As long as they're present when you do the last one, they should 100% get it, if someone wants to "Cheat" it by joining others before they finish the last milestone, let them, who cares. No one joins random people anyway, almost all groups are premade friends.

You can already just load up an inventory of items and unlock everything (although in this game comically you'll spend a session waiting on the dropship thing)
