DIY Expert Not triggering

[atomic verge]

I crafted every item at least once all on v1.1b-1236 on my PC via Steam using mouse and keyboard. However it does not show as completed in Steam achievements or on the badges tab in game (has the lock symbol next to it). I put all the items in a group of 5 chests in the lower right corner in my storage/processing barn. Each category of crafting got it's own chest so I could make sure everything was crafted in each section. I have attached my save file. I started crafting everything on Winter 11 Year 5 and finished Spring 26 Year 6 since I went through and crafted extras of things like autochest, computer and slime of transmutation that I had definitely made but had placed on my farm in prior game versions. I saved and on Spring 27 it still didn't show up as completed.

Hi @atomic verge , apologies for the inconvenience! Could you send screenshots of all the items you've crafted so we can review it? Thank you

[atomic verge]

Of course! I know it was glitched before so wasn't expecting it to not trigger. Not sure if I missed an item but I feel like I've quadruple checked and counted to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

[versed ridge]

Noted! Could you please send us screenshots showing that the achievement is still locked in both the game and on Steam? It would really help us with our investigation, thank you!

[atomic verge]

Here are the screenshots. I attached 2 for steam showing how it was still spoiler tagged and had to click on it to to view the goal. I just downloaded the Steam update for v1.1b-1237 and it still didn't trigger.

Hi @atomic verge , we appreciate you sending in the screenshots! I'll relay all the information you've provided to the team for checking and hopefully the issue can be resolved soon, thanks for your patience and cooperation

[atomic verge]

You're welcome! I'm happy to pass along anything that helps make the game even better than it already is. Thank you to you and the team for developing such a wonderful game and community.

It also seems like the legendary farmer achievement is still broken for me as well. I have sold all artifacts, ocean critters, fish, insects, foragables (both land and ocean), fossils, gems, ocean crops, animal products (including ostrich, buffalo and sea creatures). To be extra safe I took extras of all the animal products and turned them into their artisan forms and sold those as well in an attempt to get the achievement. Really not sure why these are still broken for me. I have attached screenshots of the game badges showing it as untriggered and the steam achievement not showing as completed and a screenshot of the game in general showing my game version. I am still playing v1.1b-1237 on PC with mouse and keyboard. I will attach my updated game file as well.

Hi! This issue has been reported multiple times before, and our teams have already fixed it in Steam v1.1b-1234. If you haven’t checked out the full hotfix yet, you can find it here: ⁠#📋coral-changelist message

If you’re still unable to trigger the achievement, there may be some missing items you haven't shipped yet. If you're absolutely sure you've shipped everything and it still won't trigger, could you share a video or screenshot of your attempt?

Thank you so much!

@atomic verge Something that may help you out for both DIY Expert and Legendary farmer is this Reddit link and spreadsheet https://www.reddit.com/r/coralisland/comments/1hucpmg/achievement_tracker_diy_expert_and_legendary/

I literally got both of them in the last week following this sheet as it makes you get all the materials you need for the DIY and also tells you what to craft first so you dont over use the materials.

From your screen shots i can see you are missing at least 2 scarecrows, there should be 25 and your screenshot shows 23.

At a glance it appears you are missing the Ocean Guardian one (Whale) and Ocean Explorer one. It also looks like you are missing the Ocean Guardian Chest & Ocean Explorer Chest

I've not look at the other screenshots but total items made should be 157 (total craftable items i have) and from a quick count on your screenshots your at 153 so 2 scarecrows and 2 chests; when i completed my Achievement at 157 and its on the latest version of steam (v1.1b-12137) (can provide screen shots of all my created items if that helps )

I think if you create these 4:

Ocean Guardian one (Whale) and Ocean Explorer one, Ocean Guardian Chest & Ocean Explorer Chest
It might pop 🙂

Saying all this it would save a colossal amount of Developer and support time if you guys just added a sold tag to all these items @versed ridge May be a feature to add to a release, the number of tickets i see regarding these 2 achievements the hundreds of hours lost on investigating (both support and dev time) when a simply "Sold" / "Created" tag would resolve this and mean people don't need massive Spreadsheets

[atomic verge]

Thanks Neph, the 4 missing items that you listed were items that were in 2 DLCs that are no longer available when I started playing this game so I certainly hope those aren't the issue. I used that spreadsheet initially to track sold goods for legendary farmer. I am slowly making progress through and recording videos to show all that I have sold. Those tags would also save a lot of headache on players time because it is a headache working on getting resources to go through crafting multiples of items that are unneeded and making sure all items have been sold.

[north ingot]

Apologies i wasn't aware they were DLC hopefully the Achievement has not been built against items that were limited time only!

100% agreed, one thing to note as I can't be 100% sure as i sold them at the same time as a critter i caught when i got the legendary farmer but make sure you sell each one of the types of geode; unsure if they count but I did it the same time as a critter so the fire,earth, wind and water and misc one as well (just incase its an easy win for you) but otherwise its a slow slog i spent like 30+ hours going through each season re doing everything again 😦

[atomic verge]

No worries at all. It was definitely worth checking. I did discover the geodes that I had not sold but unfortunately it was not an easy win. I have crops and maybe 2-3 animal products to get through again and if it doesn't trigger I'm submitting the recordings then shelving the game for a bit. I have spent several hours trying to work this out and it's not fun wasting another in game year and multiple in game days grinding out what should be pretty easy achievements to get.

[atomic verge]

Here are all my recordings for the legendary farmer that definitely did not trigger in game or on Steam despite missing some geodes and making sure that I had definitely sold everything that I did not have a price for.

Here is my newest daily save in case it helps.

Hello o/
I've seen your videos and it seems you're missing 4 items for the Legendary Farmer achievement: Peony, Bluecole, Ginger and Calico Lobster

[atomic verge]

I have actually sold those as well. Thank you for the catch in failing to record them!

[supple ivy]

Have you tried selling unidentified fossils and unidentified chests as well? I also struggled with the Legendary Farmer achievement, and I ended up selling almost every item in my storage. After I sold those, the achievement triggered. It could have been a coincidence, but it's worth checking.

[atomic verge]

Thank you very much for the suggestion ! I had not so I tried selling them and the badge still did not trigger for me unfortunately. I used the three journal tabs listed on the wiki and in Steam's spoiler tag in their achievements. I used the spreadsheet tracker to track as well but clearly something is missing from both suggested ones. I'll try the fossil prints as well since they are about the only related item I've not sold yet.

[supple ivy]

It's truly disappointing that despite all those attempts, the achievement still wasn't completed. The only animal-based product not shown in the video has so many possible variants, and takes so much time to track down, I feel sorry just suggesting that you give it another try.. I truly hope you get lucky and manage to identify the item without too much trouble.

[north ingot]

So sorry you are still struggling with this 😭 This just confirms the colossal waste of time applied to these 2 achievements could be simply resolved in adding a sold tag something I believe SDV has always had and would stop these threads and wasting both player,developer and supports time.
Hopefully they come back to you and get this simple Qol setting in and you get your achievement!

[atomic verge]

Thanks guys for the help. Sadly fossil prints didn't trigger it either. I'll try the artisan animal products again. SDV always had the tags as far as I remember and does set a pretty high bar in terms of how quickly the occasional issues get fixed (I've spent way to much time playing that game and have never encountered a bug in it). I actually picked it back up recently to enjoy the 1.6 update finally.

At this point even an x/y counter or more clear labeling/journal would potentially be more helpful than what we have currently. I didn't sell geodes initially because they are labeled as geodes in inventory labels and yet they are in the gems tab and I didn't sell fossil nodes because they weren't in the journal in fossil tab despite being labeled fossil so it is just all a bit unclear I think. I'm just confused with why they'd say that these achievements have been fixed in patch notes but clearly I have either missed something or they aren't actually fixed. The DIY one at this point I'm assuming I'm just locked out of without the DLCs and the legendary farmer I am at an almost complete loss as to what I am missing short of all the artisanal stuff and food.

[atomic verge]

Just an update that the newest update did trigger the DIY achievement. I still have not been able to trigger the legendary farmer one despite checking through things another time. I have been crafting the animal artisan goods to sell now that prices are working again but it's been slow and unmotivating to hop on to try to get the achievement. Will just backburner this game again until the next update at the end of the year.

[versed ridge]

Could you share your latest Save File here so we can take a closer look? And do you happen to keep all the required items for the Legendary Farmer achievement in chests?
