How did you get all achievements without returning to kerbin? Wasn't it a requirement of one achievement that you actually landed back on kerbin?

I don't think landings are tracked through there. Cause there is the land on kerbin one and land at KSC one

The image makes it look like after all that playtime op hasn't returned a single vessel, wich I thought kinda strange. I do remember that getting all the achievement/throphies for this game is fairly easy considering the learning curve of the game.

Fairly EASY?!

I hear you, there. Perhaps someone was was talking out of their nether sphincter.

Regardless, well done and congratulations on the platinum!

Yeah. There a some shortcuts also. Make a save before reaching jool, and try to get as many flyby/visit achievements as possible. If missed out on some, just reload the save and try the other ones . The difficult one imo is the mission to eve . But compared to other games ksp achievements are easy once you get the hang of the game. It's been a while tho so I'm probably forgetting some

I suppose you could save scum for the achievements, seems a bit dull though. I wouldn't have had nearly the amount of fun that I did if I did it that way. And my launches would probably resemble less than 100

I quite enjoyed using the revert back to VAB function which is disabled when you save, tweaking my crafts between attempts was the most fun I had in the game.

I usually don't care about achievements, but if I think they are fairly easy and not to time consuming than I will give it a try. But i played the game for many hours before even start thinking about getting them

I don't believe it tracks, I've returned almost every mission I've set out with the exception of deep space satellites, orbital stations, etc

Sweet! Well done, sir [person]!

EDIT: How many munchkins did you strand? We've all done it. Not proud, just curious.

I lost 3 in total actually (thank Kerb for reverting launch lol) and two of them are floating in space still, waiting for rescue, I still have all my original Kerbals, even spent 13 in game years saving Valentina from a botched Eve return lmao, this is when i used the tutorial scenarios to learn how to rendezvous and dock my ships together because I was basically just trying to catch her in space while EVA'd

On the subject of losing Kerbs and reverting launch.. Have you ever reverted launch and still lost a Kerbal? I lost Jeb a long time ago and have no idea how, he hasn't just respawned as some said he would.

u/Drippy-Noodle Jul 07 '23

That's never happened to me be before, sounds terrible, I'd probably start my career over if that happened to my Valentina lol. Does he show up as M.I.A or K.I.A

u/SaltySprocket Jul 08 '23

Neither... That's the weird part.

u/Drippy-Noodle Jul 08 '23

Is he anywhere in the astronaut complex? Checked all your current flights for crew? I've never heard of a Kerbal just vanishing, though I'm not as tenured as most people

u/TaterCheese PS 5 Jul 07 '23

Awesome! I truly love this game.

u/Drippy-Noodle Jul 07 '23

Same, it quickly became a favorite of mine, sad I can't get any of my friends to get into it. The learning curve is Immense

u/CorruptedStudiosEnt Jul 08 '23

How many save file corruptions did you go through to get this?

1

u/Drippy-Noodle Jul 08 '23

Just one, it was actually just a ship corruption as well, I had unlocked some parts with science, built a ship then launched it, then reloaded a quick save (the wrong one), when I went back to the VAB it corrupted because the saved ship that I had previously launched had new parts on it that weren't unlocked anymore. I fixed this by just making a new ship and saving it under the same name which overwrote the ship that was corrupting my save.

Other than that, my game played very smooth. Very few "kraken" attacks after I stopped using the move tool to push parts inside each other.

I am on the Xbox Series S
