[Hrusa][2.0.15] Achievement Bug: "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish"

[whysooserious72]

Release: steam, space age
Version: 2.0.15 (Build 80108 expansion, win64)

Achievement "So long and thanks for all the fish" does not trigger when launching fish to space. Attempted launching 1 fish, then a full stack into space but the achievement did not trigger. I am trying to do a 100% achievement run and am testing all potential ways to trigger this achievement event. May not be a bug but I can't find any answers as to how to trigger this, so I would like to rule out the possibility of it being a bug so I know I need to get more creative...

Space age rocks so far!!!

I have also tried for this achievement where I placed a whole stack in the rocken and delivered cargo to Orbit but did not get the achievement, neither on steam nor in game.

I too tried 1 fish at first, my second attempt with a full cargo of fish worked fine (3 stacks). Not sure if 3 stacks is the intended amount to trigger, but it did work as of a couple weeks ago.

edit: if I'm remembering right, I think a 4th button to launch appeared once the cargo was full of fish, in addition to the usual deliver/build/travel buttons. Not sure as it doesn't show up for me now, but that's probably because it was a "one and done" thing that cant be repeated once the achievement is unlocked.

Is it that this 4th button shows up with less than a full cargo of fish, implying that it should be completable with a single fish... or does this button just not show up at all now? Did it ever show up? Am I gaslighting myself?

Registered just for this.
I have tried it with different stack size as many posts around here and reddit suggested.
Seems like a lot of people have this problem and unfortunately it quite inconsistent for many people.

It's not working at the moment. I tried any combination from 1 fish to a rocket full of fish. Launching to orbit and space platform.
definitely a bug.

Did anyone get this to work? I don't get the achievement when I send the fish to orbit. Is this still an issue because I made a whole new save to try and send a fish to orbit and the achievement won't pop.

This seems to have been broken as of version 2.0.15. In my modded troubleshooting, it seems that the cargo_pod entity that is carrying the fish for the purposes seems to no longer be attached to the rocket entity as of the on_rocket_launched() event being called. This is also the time when I think the game's internal code that is checking for the fish is also checking for the presence of the cargo_pod on the rocket entity.

I have confirmed that it works in version 2.0.14 and the cargo_pod was detected on the rocket in my testing script on that version. Also the fish achievement was correctly awarded in that version

I have in fact tested this in every experimental release since 2.0.15 to confirm that it was still broken. 2.0.14 does correctly award the achievement. 2.0.15-2.0.19 do not.

I was also trying to get this but it did not work.
Rolled back to V2.0.14 and loaded an older auto save and was able to get the achievement.

Thanks CaitSith2 for the suggestion!
