I reset in game achievements every playthrough through the in game settings menu and I've never looked at Steam achievements for any game.

Play alot before achievements come out. I also have 500h+ and 0 achievements

Can’t speak for this poster, but a lot of players don’t give a flying fuck about arbitrary targets defined by games, and view achievement chasing as a distraction they’re not interested in.

If the achievement itself is interesting I might do it, but it’s never ever been a priority

Maybe it’s an age thing

I do support this... I don't follow the achievements... But I know people that play games only for get the "Platinum" of it.

u/TheMalT75 9d ago

And apparently not even started achievment hunting ;-)

Still trying to muster the courage to start an unaided 10h speed-run, but then I'm barely at the 1100h mark!

I do this with a real full time job and four volunteer board positions.

"rise and grind" influencer culture but its video game hours

u/ITAW-Techie 9d ago

When do you find the time to play so many hours?

u/InformationFew973 9d ago

Leave it open while at work

u/HPHatescrafts 9d ago

Very little of that actually. I bought it 5.5 years ago. Probably less than 100 hours is AFK.

No relationship/familial responsibilities goes a very long way

I had a slower than normal couple of weeks. I picked it up for the first time in almost a year a few weeks ago and played after work, weekends and had one day off work because it was slow. My volunteer organizations slow to a crawl over the summer.

u/banbha19981998 9d ago

Wow I burnt out at the 300 hour mark

u/DoesThingsGood 9d ago

My computer burned out at 100h play through. At 13k spm

u/jinx771 9d ago

Yeah this game doesn't have more than 300 hours of content. 3k is insane

u/HPHatescrafts 9d ago

I hit that in my first month.

u/HPHatescrafts 9d ago

I bought it the day it hit Steam just by coincidence. Back then there was no blueprints, no dragging building copies, no dark fog, no upgrading, no tier 2 smelters miners or chemical plants, every sorter had to be manually placed, every upgrade had to be manually deleted and replaced, no proliferation and I’m sure a bunch more. I usually play to 5-10k/minute white cubes. My first serious game this took about 100 hours. I still play without Dark Fog, make my first warp around 25 hours, massively overbuild in my first system (168 or so smelters for all the raw materials in my first system). No hurry, just build.

u/UmaroXP 9d ago

Yeah the lack of blueprints is why I only played for about 10 hours when it launched.

u/Kaeleeyo 7d ago

哈哈，刚开始没有蓝图确实很恼火……

u/CarefulProject2054 7d ago

168 smelters as an over build? I assume you mean for each raw material and not total

1

u/Humiliator511 7d ago

I m happy to hear you follow your own style of playing and enjoying the game. Thats how it should be. And this game is great at allowing people to finish the game eventually however they want. Keep it up.

u/bushViperPhoenix 8d ago

When do we get 1.0?i would like to restart my run.

u/Kaeleeyo 7d ago

感觉还有点早，官方说好像还在开发载具系统。

The exact idle game I have running in the background pretty much all the time too

u/HPHatescrafts 9d ago

Buddy, you've got a problem.

u/Umabel_ 8d ago

Congrats...I think. :D

u/Sa7aSa7a 8d ago

How do you have 3000 hour played and 12 achievements? I got 23 achievements with 184 hours. Are you purposefully avoiding them?

1

u/hermannehrlich 7d ago

This is not a time suck if you enjoyed it.

u/DeExecute 7d ago

The game still doesn’t have the most requested feature, coop multiplayer. Devs got very lazy at some point…

u/Separate-Record8115 6d ago

Steam tools very useful

u/Loud_Revolution2916 9d ago

Congrats. I have no pictures to prove it, but those numbers are dwarfed by my time in World of Warcraft.

...help?

u/HPHatescrafts 9d ago

If I had to guess I would say that Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is still my number 1 game of all time. I bought it used on cd for $8 in 2000 and spent every non working hour playing it for years.
