Epic/Steam Achievements, those working and those that are broken

After winning my second game on 1.02 I decided to examine the Epic Achievements that I noticed had been triggering as I played. (Press Shift-F3 in game to see your list of achievements).

It seems that some of them don't work, they are not awarded when achieved.

So I thought I would make a list so that others could report whether they had gotten the achievements or whether there are others that are bugged.

First, these are the ones that worked, i.e. were properly awarded when I earned them (or others reported that they'd earned them):

Win as Arceans
Win as the Mimot
Win as the Torians
Win as Festron
Win as the Drengin
Win as the Baratak
Win as Xeloxi
Win as the Iconians
Win as Altarians
Win as the Manti
Win as the Iridium
Win as Terrans
Win as the Drath
Win as the Krynn
Win as the Yor
Win as the Onyx
Win as the Navigators
Win as the Luxar Dominion -- Supernova only
Win as the Phalenoid Advance -- Supernova only
Win as the Intueri Aggregate - Supernova only
Win as the Cosmic Containment -- Supernova only

Galactic War
Build a Terror Star
Use a Terror Star
Lose by Your Own Terror Star
Win an Immense Game - This seems to have been renamed to Win a Gigantic size game

Second, these achievements I believe I earned but were not awarded, so they are probably broken.

Complete a Minor Civilization Quest -- Base game on Epic only
Discover a Nebula -- Base game on Epic only

Third are achievements for winning as the various civilizations. I have now tried all of them.

-All seem to work, but it took me 2 tries with the Navigators

Fourth are various other achievements. Either I know I didn't do these, or I think I might not have done enough to get them, so we don't know whether these work or not.  Note that some of the victory type achievements are unavailable because that victory type is not in the game.

Relic Hoarder
It's OUR Homeworld
Science Victory! -- Base game on Epic only
Play for 1000 Hours

Finally are the achievements related to the Galactic Challenges. I haven't yet tried these so I don't know if they work.

Shard of the Mithrilar

Please post if you have found other Achievements that either work are can be confirmed as broken, or if you have better information than I about what is required to get the achievements.

Updated the list to show Trading Partner as working. I had thought it was meant to be awarded after establishing your first trade route, but I got it after establishing my 11th trade route and having one trade route started by an AI. So I'm guessing it means having 12 trade routes, whether started by you or received from an AI.

List updated to move The Plague to the broken category. I think it's for the Penultipox Galactic Challenge, and I've done that and didn't get the achievement.

List updated. Added Win as Torians to the working category. Moved Commodity Seller, Level 2 to the broken category. I sold 100 units of antimatter on the Galactic Market and did not get the achievement. If more are needed for this achievement Stardock is trying to give us all carpal tunnel syndrome since that took 100 clicks.

List updated. Added Win as Festron, Conquest Victory, and Influence Victory! to the working category.

Updated. On review I found I had gotten the Xenocide achievement, so that's moved to the working list.

Updated. @DivineWrath reported that he was able to get the Iconia Reclaimed! achievement if he, as Iconians, took Iconia from the Yor through invasion, but not if the Yor surrendered it to him.

Confirmed in my own game that Reclaimed! works if Iconians take Iconia through invasion.

Original post has been updated with a few more racial victories that I've verified. In my most recent game as the Iridium I won an Ascension Victory, which I thought had been removed from the game and replaced by the Prestige Victory. If the presence of the Ascension victory is legitimate and not a bug, there should be an achievement for it.

I've included the note about prestige victory in my notes to communicate with the team, thank you for updating the log here too!

I've updated the title of this post to indicate it's for both Epic and Steam, since I noticed that having played Supernova on Steam for more than 100 hours, the achievements that I noted weren't working on Epic are also not working on Steam.

Update for Supernova 1.72. The achievements listed as not working are still not working, and the "Complete a Minor Civilization Quest" should probably be removed for Supernova since minor's don't give quests anymore.

Original post updated to indicate that I got a Diplomatic victory (Alliance). This was on Supernova 1.90.

I will get more eyes on this as we are finalizing achievements.

The 1.95 Supernova hot patch yesterday said it fixed these achievements:

  • Recruit a Dozen Leaders. 

  • Recruit a Leader. 

  • Yor Dead Iconian. 

  • Commodity Trader - Level 2. 

  • Commodity Guru. 

  • Commodity Selling Guru. 

  • Play for 5 Hours. 

  • Play for 100 Hours. 

  • Play for 1000 Hours.

I've been able to verify that Recruit a Leader, Commodity Selling Guru, and Commodity Trader - Level 2 have been fixed. In addition, I got Commodity Seller, Level 2. Although not listed as fixed in the patch, I'd never been able to get that one before, so perhaps it was fixed and left off the list.

I'm pretty sure I've played 5 hours since the patch came out and have not gotten Play for 5 Hours. It depends on how that is coded. If it's testing for playtime = 5 hours then those of us who are already over 5 hours may never be able to get it. For example, I was at 320 hours when I installed yesterday's patch, so I may never be able to verify that the 5 and 100 hour achievements work.

Anyway, I'll update the original post to move those achievements I've verified to the first list.

I finally was able to complete the Orb of Draginol challenge, and did not get the achievement. I've moved it to the "broken" list.

Updated the list to indicate that Recruit a Dozen Leaders works.

Old-Spider noted on Discord that he got the Ask not What Your Empire Can Do For You achievement for getting 30 citizens. I've updated the list in the original post.

Edit: I also got the Hyperspace! and Veteran Crew achievements. I'll update the OP to reflect that.

I got the Solid Economy achievement and have updated the original post to move it from the broken list to the working list. I still don't know what I did to get it. It'd be nice it the achievements were explained better.

Old Spider reported on Discord that after 795 hours of play he finally got the achievement for playing 5 hours. The thing is, to get it, he had to play 5 hours continuously. This achievement was reported as fixed in one of the change logs but it's obviously still not working as intended. If the 100 hour achievement is coded the same way it'll be nearly impossible to get.

I see that Epic Game Launcher achievements don't display as expected at all.

In the game all achievements are ok and I see 13 of 73. But in the launcher I get 0 of 77.

Epic Game Support addressed that to the game developers forum. So, am I alone in that issue?

I finally tried the Yor again for the first time since GC3 and got the Win as the Yor, Yor Dead Iconians (defeat the Iconians as the Yor), and Artifact Mastery achievements, so I've edited the list in the original post to move them to the working list.

Old-Spider reported that he was able to get the Rebuild the Retribution achievement, apparently it was fixed in 2.01, so I've updated the original post to put it in the "working" list.
