So, im trying to do a 100% save file with the DLC but i cannot get the achivement "So long and thanks for all the fish", and i tried all different methods to trigger it, launch fish to a space platform, launch it back to the planet, dispose it to the space with a robo arm, travel to another planet and repeat the same, but still no achivement unlocked. My question is, It is possible that the DLC impides the achivement to be unlocked or maybe it has different conditions?

If you put a fish into a rocket silo you get a new "deliver cargo" option to send it to orbit. You need to use that.

I can confirm it does not work. I tried to launch 1 fish, 100 fish, 300 fish to Orbit. Nothing works.

Bump, same issue.

Gotta do it on galaxy's edge

Can also confirm having difficulties getting this in Space Age with no mods. Playing deathworld, default settings. v2.0.15

Launched to "Orbit" batches of 1, 42, 100, 300 fish from Nauvis and no achievement.
Launched to "Orbit" batches of 37, 100, 300 fish from Aquilo and no achievement.

Fish loaded into rocket silos -
1. by hand after being caught by hand from a lake on Nauvis
2. by inserter from logistic chest by bot collection from lakes
3. by inserter from logistic chest via fish breeding.

No positive results from any of them.

Jettisoned numerous fish from space platforms as well, in orbit around Nauvis and Aquilo.

Unable to build a rocket silo on a space platform to launch from there.

Does anyone have any replication procedures for getting this achievement in Space Age from a new start?

Same issue. I've tried a lot of methods and googled for hours. And now just registered the forum account to report this bug.

Yes, I also have the same problem, and like the gentleman or madam above, I registered to make the same report. I tried sending 1 kipper, 2 kipper, 200 kipper, it didn't matter. No amount of kipper into space was sufficient with spage enabled and no other mods.

I probably don't do it right. Since it works to me. Nauvis, fish in rocket's cargo, destination: "Orbit" (sic!), no other cargo present, fish is of Normal/Common quality, pants are on, zip is closed.
Last time tried with 2.0.14 when I've demolishd my save accidentlally... again.

Maybe it's time to make a theme in Bug Reports and put savegames + problem descriptions there.
Wasted rocket is still a wasted rocket, even if this cost becomes negligible in lategame.

Same issue. I've tried all methods listed in this post and on reddit.

but did you try legendary fish ?

Yes it's not working.

Ok, based on a lot, and i mean A LOT of responses from different users, its not working properly, we dont know why, but for some reason sometimes it pops, sometimes it doesn't and rarely it crashes the game, maybe its just a error in the triggers that "maybe" depends on the pc or the version of the game idk

Made an account just to post that this isn't working for me either since updating to space age, had it before the dlc but I reset achievements to get them all again. Tried 1, 5, 100, and 300 fish. And I was for sure pressing "send to orbit". Haven't tried Legendary fish as I'm not that far yet lol.

Same thing here. 300 fish, from nauvis, to orbit, common quality. No achievement.
