"From Scratch" achievement for each new planet (except Aquilo)
Proposal: A new achievement for each of Fulgora, Vulcanus, and Gleba.
"From Scratch" or some similar name, given for launching a rocket from each of these planets without bringing anything along (other than construction bots).

I'd like this as well, that would be pretty cool

and except power armor fully stuffed with gear ? And except...
Re: "From Scratch" achievement for each new planet (except Aquilo)
Any armor, any weapons, any number of construction bots, but nothing else: No roboports, no assembly machines, no chests, etc.
To put it another way: Nothing dropped from a platform except construction bots.

So people who bring flying robot frames and green chips wouldn't get it?
Re: "From Scratch" achievement for each new planet (except Aquilo)
While there is obviously room to discuss what counts towards it, and what does not, I think it's still doable.
I mean, "lazy bastard" exists as an achievement, so why not this in the same spirit?

(But if you want the extra rocket capacity of bringing them up separately, you could certainly do so and then assemble them on the platform.)Kyralessa wrote: Fri Jan 30, 2026 1:04 pmCorrect.crimsonarmy wrote: Fri Jan 30, 2026 11:03 am So people who bring flying robot frames and green chips wouldn't get it?
Re: "From Scratch" achievement for each new planet (except Aquilo)
I would go for the hard core version: nothing dropped except what is in your armour grid, specifically not even bots. Having done all three planets that way, it really doesn't take that long to "rush" bots.

I say nothing. I may accept armor maybe. 
Re: "From Scratch" achievement for each new planet (except Aquilo)
If you ask for this achievement, you cannot allow anything to be dropped, not even bots. Either all or nothing. Everything in between is cheating. Since the game doesn't make a distinction between a naked player and a fully armed and equipped player in terms of rocket launches, it's probably reasonable to allow full armor equipment.
WIth these prerequisites it's probably quite easy to implement these achievements with no game engine changes:
- event on_cargo_pod_delivered_cargo fired and not player on board: invalidate achievement for given planet
- event on_rocket_launched fired and achievement not invalidated and not yet unlocked: unlock achievement for given planet
