Startup Achievements

Method to Get These Achievements

To get Startup Achievements you have to use *.bat files. To create *.bat files you should create Notepad file, copy and paste comands from below and then press "Save As ...". Name should be like "the name file.bat" (in quotes). Place that file in game directory.
Check how much startups you have you can check in Log-file: My Documents\Universe Sandbox\Logs\Sandbox Log.txt
There will be a line "RunCount: ..." - This is what we need.

Method 1: Create a batch file (.bat) and paste:

:while1 "Universe Sandbox.exe" timeout /t 10 TASKKILL /f /im "Universe Sandbox.exe" timeout /t 10 goto :while1

Method 2: Create a batch file (.bat) and paste:

:while1 start "" "Universe Sandbox.exe" timeout /t 5 /nobreak TASKKILL /f /im "Universe Sandbox.exe" timeout /t 2 /nobreak goto :while1

Method 3 (that one uses 2 bat-files and they should work together):

set /a var=1 :loop "Universe Sandbox.exe" echo off timeout /t 4 echo Started %var% times set /a var+=1 goto loop

:loop timeout /t 11 taskkill /f /im "Universe Sandbox.exe" goto loop

How to enter the BIOS?

How to enter the BIOS?
At the time of initialization , after the self-test procedure on the screen in most cases, there is an inscription inviting enter in BIOS Setup. For example, it might look like this : Press DEL to enter SETUP. Well, to enter the BIOS Setup follow this recommendation until the lights inscription - <Del> press on the keyboard.

On different computers call BIOS Setup can be done in different ways: it can be <F1> ( found in some implementations, the Phoenix BIOS), <F2> ( on Intel motherboards , and in the case of some versions of Phoenix BIOS), <F10> ( another of the options for Phoenix BIOS), <Esc>, combination <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Esc>, <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Ins>, <Ctrl> + <Alt> or any other key (shortcut ) . Just <Del> - the most popular option . Typically, an entry in BIOS Setup when you download and can be found in the manual for the motherboard or computer .

But even if the prompt is displayed, instead of the boot messages shows the manufacturer's logo that hides all the messages , this fact does not prevent call BIOS Setup. Once the keyboard is initialized ( blink LEDs Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock), repeatedly press <Del>. Nor does it help ? Restart the computer and try the next version of the above .

To make sure the key ( shortcut ) , press 10-15 times for about 10 seconds. This ensures that the press is not "lost" , but will be worked out . Most initialization enter BIOS Setup is accompanied by the inscription : for example , it can be a message Entering SETUP.

For people having problems entering the bios after hibernation: Start cmd as admin and enter following command: " shutdown /h /fw "
This will automatically enter the BIOS after booting the PC.

For the Startup too Many achievement you can add following line between the timeouts for a running count of your startups:
type "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Universe Sandbox\Logs\Sandbox Log.txt" | findstr "RunCount"[i/]

the .bat method still works, as a complete non-programmer I couldn't get it to work until I tried clicking the batch file....so for any non programmer people like me out there create the file and then drop it into the game directory and click it to start it.

Just so everyone knows what they are in for...I was able to reduce the time to two, so four seconds for each 'cycle'. Roughly 900 times per hour = just over 11 hours to get the Startup too Many achievement.

Disgusting...

I sent a grain of sand at Earth at one hundred million times the speed of light. It went right through Earth without causing any damage at all. Not even a visible crater. It should have turned it into one molten ball while spewing a lot of its core and some of its mantle out in the direction opposite the direction of where the sand grain came from, as well as causing a massive shock wave circle the entire globe multiple times. It should also have also bumped the Earth out of its orbit by a bit too, but nada. Nothing. No effect at all. I expect too much I guess.

Improved script
Place inside the game folder before executing.
Change var 'numstartups' for the Achievement.
It will output the number of startups, so you can keep track.
Save as a .bat file, like mentioned by OP.

@echo off
set numstartups=100
set countstartups=0
:loop
start "" "Universe Sandbox.exe"
set /a numstartups -= 1
timeout /t 4 /nobreak
taskkill /F /IM "Universe Sandbox.exe" /T
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
set /a countstartups += 1
echo Started %countstartups% times
if %numstartups% GTR 0 goto loop
pause

Just to give an some added info about the bios thing. If you have your pc on you can just minimize the game and it only will use 180ish mbs of ram (no cpu usage at all) and when you put your pc on sleep it will just keep your timer going.
So that is a way of getting this achievement the legit way if you care about that (as in circumventing the issue that Tim.Doherty came with about achievement tracking sites)

Excellent guide! I love the Batch file script. Works on Win 7 and Win 10.

If you do the Bios thing you'll be marked as a cheater on achievement tracking websites, beware of that. Anything less than the right number of hours.
