But.. the space stage sucks (well really all the original stages sucked but I didn't spend 200 hours in those). So uh instead of improving it you just made it so we can't get achievements for missions unless we fly around for hours on end being forced to play missions at random.

Yeah no thanks, I'm not playing the core game again until you improve it whether you let me earn achievements or not.

Great guide!

ITS A SECRET ACHIEVEMENT!

Maxiscactus mentioned it does not show secret achievements

HELP! I can't get any achievements!

How sad, most of these achievements are for dumping as much junk into an adventure as possible, I was going to ask, "what is the betting that some idiot will try to get one of these achievements by dumping all 200-500 of the whatever-you-need into one adventure?", but I see someone has already confessed to doing that. (and I'm trying to figure why GA is eating up all my bandwidth?)

Where are the achievements for real achievements that take some skill to get?

have an adventure played 10/100/1000 times

have an adventure uprated 10/50/100 times

have an adventure featured in 10/20/30 Sporecasts

and of course, the one you missed above

make an adventure using every asset in the sporpedia

ok, forget the last one, please! but I think I've made my point, achievements for adventures that make a mark on the community, I've listed three with three levels each, but there are probably a lot more that could rate a coveted achievement. Ideas anyone?

Frog

Do stylefilter cheats disable acheivements, and if they do, could it be fixed in future patches?

Wait a minute... I have placed more than a thousand (yes, a thousand) vehicles and buildings in adventures but I still haven't gained Architect and Mechanic!

By the way, Universal Ecologist's image is missing from the server, and the original Architect is still with the GA Architect image...

Thanks, OluapPlayer. The team has been alerted to the missing icon issue.

I'll ping them about your missing achievements as well.

The team has temporarily disabled some achievements due to server load issues. When we put these back they will be retroactively applied. If the achievement is dependent on leaderboard status, it will still be earned even if you no longer have the top spot, as long as you did at some point.

Here's a list of the temporarily disabled achievements:
Granddaddy
Mad Skills
Chatterbox
The Critic
Top Seller

This sucks right? Well if you want the server issues fixed fast all you need to do is sign my petition here:

Thanks MC. A friend of mine is also having this problem.

I got three questions:
1) Why architect and Mechanic achievements aren't given (I've placed more than 500)
2) Will I get Top Seller (when it will be possible) if someone uses 1000 different creations I made in adventures, or is it enough if one creation would be used 1000 times?
3) In order for adventure to be counted toward Grandfather, does I have to edit and publish it as mine own?

I have raised a Captain to Rank 10 and now he is stuck. I go through adventures, it shows points but they are not added to the Captain's tally. It seems I am only getting points 1 at a time for ranking adventures. I got the Zealot parts of Armor and now I am frozen. Would anyone know what I need to do?

I published an adventure. People have downloaded it, played it, rated it, commented on it. I've also had it come up twice in my space stage game, and played it both times.

What step am I missing to get this achievement?
