    Achievement says 36000 frames, the game still counts air time in seconds.

    main menu → stats → frames played
    Wait until the counter goes over 36,000. At 20fps, that's 30 minutes.

Okay, the editor on the current build isn't crashing (I forgot I was still playing the old 6345501265050814643 build : P). So, I tried to place a few enemies and the gun on the map to see if I could get the achievement that way. But, when you load the map there's nothing there except for your ship and the ocean of sand... :redgiant: It basically doesn't load anything you've placed on the map. I even tried some maps from the workshop, but those don't load either.

Thanks, I updated the guide again. I'll assume Triple Shot is impossible for now.
shep7000 17 Dec, 2023 @ 6:05am 
Just tried with the map editor but the damn thing is constantly crashing after placing an enemy on the map :emofdr:
shep7000 17 Dec, 2023 @ 5:59am 
Yep, everything except for Triple Shot worked perfectly on the current build.
alphabetsoup  [author] 17 Dec, 2023 @ 5:55am 
Were you able to unlock "What have you done?" and the other 5 achievements on the current build?
alphabetsoup  [author] 17 Dec, 2023 @ 5:54am 
Looking at it deeper, I don't think that achievement is possible anymore.

This change on 21 July 2023 changed the API name: https://steamdb.info/app/1801630/history/?changeid=U:39998523

And I don't think that achievement is possible in the new game.

Triple Shot just refuses to unlock for me even with the old 8683540929410471408 depot... Tried in the tutorial and the story levels but no luck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit suggestion: Now you can add your own maps to the level selection, it is no longer only Rolecakeus Crater that you can select.

Sorry for any confusion, multiplayer is planned but it's currently not part of the game.
We are reworking the entire game. New stuff is being added and fixed all the time!
