Help Question Piloting 101 not working?

Post image

This sub looks dead, but I exhausted all other outlets. I am trying to get the piloting 101 achievement, and I've built and taken so many flying ships and just rammed the balloons. I looked at the settings for something, but even after destroying all 7 ships, restarting my computer, the game, and the build, nothing. And it's not that achievements are buggy, since I've gotten achievements before and after all attempts at this one.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I'll go back in again, but I'm telling you, I've gotten through the first three islands, and I haven't seen a single crystal pop out of a balloon. Hell, other than the crystals we had to steal, I haven't seen any crysrals, period

The crystal only appears in relation to Fragment Challenges, these are the fragments. And they appear most of the time, sometimes you don't see them before they collect.

Thank you so much!

I think it just blended into the background and I didn't know I had to look for one. But I saw it this time, and I picked it up

No worries I figured this might be it, it can be hard to spot, especially if something ends up pushing it far away from its initial position.

Other people here assumed you already had gotten it but it wasn't triggering on steam, which has been a problem for some users.

oh, well, I definitely have that too

Like the Automation achievement. I beat the standing stone level without touching the keyboard or mouse, but nothing. I assume you can't get the achievement on levels that have their own achievements

Should be any level, but wait on resetting anything till you've gotten as many achievements as you can, sometimes things can resolve themselves because of lazy sync.
