By Noobinator59
Attention: Spoilers! (duh) Read on own risk.

Hello fellow Captains,

Starcome:Nexus is full of secrets and events you encounter when you explorer the galaxy. For some you can get an achievement. In this guide i want to gather all achievements and how you can get it. Some are story relevant, some not. I dont know all achievements yet. Some i figuered out myself, others from the steam community. I added source. You can help me complete this guide :)

PS: I am sorry for my bad english ;)

More complicated:

The Citadel
Gain access to Entarq's Citadel. The Ulooquo trade the password you need to enter.



Phage Eradicated
Eliminate the Phage. (Its easy, follow instructions of your Crew officer)



Our Nyctian Friends
Gain the Nyctian research bonus.


--> At -2.30 x 7.32 you found the "Empty Colony" and one gate at the planet and another above. The second must in line with the first one. Now you can activate the gates and jump to the Lost colony (as alternative you can find it at -6.24 x 10.67). Now help them with 2 of your crew members to build the colony up. After awhile come back and some of the Nyctians want out of gratitude visit the Kite Station. They will boost the research speed.


Spelunker
Solve the Watering Hole Maze. Go E S S E S and you found a dead body with research points.



The Beast
Defeat the beast of the labyrinth.


The anomaly "Stone Spheres" is a star card. The planet with the Labyrinth is left of the system group at 39.44 x 7.47.
--> Once you go down the big cave go: S E S S E E S E E E N W N W W N
This will take you to the area that unlocks the lab door on the 10th move, unlock the door and keep following my guide.
On the 16th and last move you will be at the lab with the weapon.
Then all you have to go is go South again and wander around until the beast attempts to kill your crew, don’t worry about being attacked on the way there, you’ll lose some crew maybe on the 4th move but keep going.

Zoar Destroyer

Can confirm last post from MudCrab, don't have to lose crew to get Hidden Lab achievement, I just got the data.

Hidden Lab? I just completed that for the first time. The achievement unlocks early into the quest and before you have to make 'decisions'

Any tips for getting Star and Bars?

I completed two playthroughs and followed the advice in the below thread and still have not got it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/863590/discussions/0/1661194916742406785/

I found the goose planet and surveyed it, but got no achievement. What else is necessary?

Also, for "Our Nyctian Friends", it takes about 3 in-game days before they are ready to leave the planet together. I recommend you find a nice long warp path, and jump back and forth between them to advance the time quickly.
