The achievement list, hidden objectives, progression thresholds and reasons progress may not count.
Description
Achievements are platform-account objectives, separate from in-game challenges and quests. This list covers Steam and PC V3.2 conditions. Distinguish cumulative objectives from those requiring one character or one lifetime.
Before you start unlocking
All 43 Steam achievements are grouped below by activity. English names help match them in the client. Console trophy lists and the old console release may differ; this is not a PlayStation trophy list.
Play with debug and creative modes disabled; these modes block achievement unlocks. Merely opening the console is not the same as enabling debug mode. Check your Steam account and connection before a lengthy attempt.
First actions
Crafting and finding an item are different actions. Placement achievements require actually placing the item in the world.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Cause he's the Ax Man | Craft a stone axe. |
| Good in the sack | Place a bedroll or qualifying bed. |
| Playing Doctor | Stop a critical bleed with a bandage, first aid bandage or first aid kit. |
| Handy Man | Craft the starter building shape. The legacy achievement wording calls it a wood frame. |
| The Homestead Act | Place a land claim block. |
Crafting
Use useful crafting projects. This group tracks cumulative crafting rather than holding that many items at once.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Alexander Bell | Craft a cumulative total of 50 items. |
| Benjamin Franklin | Craft a cumulative total of 500 items. |
| Henry Ford | Craft a cumulative total of 1500 items. |
| Thomas Edison | Craft a cumulative total of 5000 items. |
Zombie kills
Shared XP is not equivalent to a personally credited kill. Track your own counter rather than every enemy defeated by the party.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| The Grave Digger | Kill 10 zombies in total. |
| The Embalmer | Kill 100 zombies in total. |
| The Mortician | Kill 500 zombies in total. |
| The Funeral Director | Kill 2500 zombies in total. |
Player kills
These require a game that allows player-versus-player damage. Respect PvE server rules and use an appropriate session.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Napoleon | Record 1 player kills. |
| Julius Caesar | Record 5 player kills. |
| Genghis Khan | Record 10 player kills. |
| Alexander the great | Record 25 player kills. |
Travel
This tracks travel, not straight-line distance from spawn. Ordinary movement and administrator teleportation are not equivalent counting methods.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Christopher Columbus | Travel a cumulative 10 km. |
| Ferdinand Magellan | Travel a cumulative 50 km. |
| Marco Polo | Travel a cumulative 250 km. |
| Neil Armstrong | Travel a cumulative 1000 km. |
Deaths
Death can interrupt other goals and cost items depending on world rules. Decide whether you want to preserve a deathless attempt first.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Bite the dust | Accumulate 1 deaths. |
| Knock em Dead | Accumulate 7 deaths. |
| Your Number's Up | Accumulate 14 deaths. |
| Meet Your Maker | Accumulate 28 deaths. |
Character progression
Older guides may refer to the former wellness system. The current Steam list ties these four health-themed achievements to Fortitude. Do not confuse it with current HP.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Alive and Kicking | Raise the Fortitude attribute to 4. |
| Fit as a Fiddle | Raise the Fortitude attribute to 6. |
| Healthy as a Horse | Raise the Fortitude attribute to 8. |
| The Picture of Good Health | Raise the Fortitude attribute to 10. |
| Scavenger | Reach character level 7. |
| Adventurer | Reach character level 28. |
| Nomad | Reach character level 70. |
| Warrior | Reach character level 140. |
| Survivalist | Reach character level 300. |
Surviving without death
The final threshold is 28 hours of survival time. Do not add separate lives or world-calendar days together. Keep the same character alive; time between sessions does not count as active survival.
| Achievement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Brush with Death | Survive 60 minutes in one life. |
| Near Death Experience | Survive 180 minutes in one life. |
| Cheated Death | Survive 600 minutes in one life. |
| Nearly Immortal | Survive 1680 minutes in one life. |
An achievement did not unlock
Match the action to the precise condition: crafting, placement, personal kill or one lifetime. Check debug and creative modes and your Steam connection. Do not enable administrator tools to repair the counter itself.
If the counter remains stuck under the correct conditions, preserve the save and compare behavior in a clean session of the same version. Deleting data does not guarantee an unlock and may destroy the progress you are trying to retain.
Worked example
You have played for 200 minutes but died after 100. This does not satisfy 180 minutes in one life. However, 50 items crafted across several batches can satisfy the first crafting threshold.
Common mistake
Confusing platform achievements with journal challenges or following conditions for the old console edition.
