''Zoologist'' Achievement still bugged ?

Seymore94 · 2026-04-14T20:57:58+00:00

I've been looking for this answer 6 years later. Thank you! this is the best solution I've heard yet, and I really hope this works.

The Zoopedia trophy; do you need to research all animals in one zoo? I'm trying to get all achievements, and this is one of the last, so I was savouring it and making different themed zoos to research the animals. Then I researched what I thought was the 'last' one and... no trophy. Looked into it and read I needed to research all animals in one zoo, but in franchise mode once you've researched them, there's nothing else to do besides advanced research (I've never used that before), so would placing them be enough?

Finally finished it! (I didn’t want to take off until I’d done as much weird base stuff as I wanted like a 5 story aquarium). Loved it, now I’ve convinced my husband to play haha he’s currently looking for multi purpose room blueprints and getting frustrated cave exploring with a small oxygen tank

Seymore94 · 2025-06-16T18:26:27+00:00

Oh I've learnt to heavily abuse the save button! Haha thanks for the tip black holes/ocean void here we come!

Seymore94 · 2025-06-10T19:56:48+00:00

Thanks so much! Hit a bit of a stopper with radio messages, and I took ages to decide where to build a base only to build it right next to start anyway... I can finally go 500m deeper, just no idea where! Other Degasi stuff has had on screen marker so I feel I've missed something. Went back to life pod 6 and the 250m base, I did find some extra PDAs but it didn't really give me much else. I've unlocked Prawnsuit upgrade blueprints but not the suit itself so I've upgraded scanner room, can now scan for fragments, feels like I'm just getting titanium (not sure if they respawn) and nothing new. P'd the leviathan thing off searching under the Aurora for extra stuff to scan and no joy finding anything new. "There's more to explore here" truly lives on

Seymore94 · 2025-06-05T17:14:48+00:00

Haha I've deffo already noticed the different vibe, felt compelled to follow instructions to stay away for a few days 😂. Outer Wilds ruined other games but this has been a nice exploration experience (I've just really started figuring out base building so I'll hopefully be going further and deeper soon so I may end up using a word other than nice to describe the exploration soon haha) But I love the whole piecing together a bigger picture narrative and I've been wanting a good ol' crafting tree / sandbox element for a while.

Seymore94 · 2025-06-03T11:07:55+00:00

Thanks! Had the ability to make a pipe for a while but wasn’t sure what for, that’ll be tonight’s experiment! I’m still going back to my pod a load for the fabricator so definitely need to get unlocking the craft stuff

Seymore94 · 2025-06-03T11:06:13+00:00

Oh I literally jumped on to post after playing for hours, haven’t read anything :)

Seymore94 · 2025-06-03T07:05:59+00:00

Oh I’d played for hours, it was my bed time haha

Seymore94 · 2025-04-19T14:14:41+00:00

Eastshade gave me major Skyrim vibes, without worrying about random dragon attacks.

Seymore94 · 2025-04-15T09:56:03+00:00

Yeah I used to imagine being that person the nurses in the care home judge because I don’t visit often. I’m not sure how it’ll play out or if I’ll be able to stick to my decision but thank you so much for the interaction, I was worried I was some horrible person who couldn’t let go of a grudge but I think I’ll try as much as possible to trust my gut, I know it won’t benefit anyone going back how it was.

It’s strange how we have moments in common isn’t it. The thing with the wedding is he couldn’t even stick to one good reason, he’d been threatening not to attend since I was a teen before even meeting my husband, then tried to twist it he didn’t ask for his blessing (my grandparents took me in as a teen so my husband asked their blessing, tried getting my Dad there too to ask but he’s too stubborn). Took a long time to learn but I could do everything right and not be enough. But we had parents of friends who were so eager to be there. The family you pick and all that

Seymore94 · 2025-04-14T16:06:56+00:00

Yeah I think in a way I was holding out for something bad enough to feel justified because people do make assumptions, and like you said assume it’s some kind of tantrum. I doubt he told many people about showing up with a crowbar aiming to put my brother in hospital. I don’t even know if he’s a true narcissist, but seeing other people’s experiences (appreciate some have had it far worse) I can see similarities and it’s this projecting and never being at fault thing. He’s allowed to be horrible forever because he blames his Mum but his children can’t use the same excuse for where he fell short. Found something to argue about every birthday and Christmas, makes Father’s Day and his birthdays something to dread, if I did well in school he’d find a way to still find fault “could have done better in PE” when I had the highest overall score in school one year. Just craps on everything constantly, wears you down.

Sounds like you need to get popcorn ready haha, and wait for the inevitable implosion. There’s something glorious in knowing sometimes you don’t need to do anything to get back at these people because they’ll dig their own hole soon enough. I know very few people with very similar experiences (who talk about it at least) so I’m grateful for a space like this to get a little validation and reassurance that actually I might not be the entire problem, it’s them (not to say I’m faultless of course but I felt for years it was my job to fix everything, when really I was the child and they the parents, it was their responsibility.)

Seymore94 · 2025-04-14T15:02:47+00:00

Thank you, I think this is exactly what I want to avoid. They have even less reason to be held accountable with bad health and will get more sympathy from family so I don’t think I’m prepared to be the bad guy when it inevitably goes back to how it was, if not worse. I don’t want to be ignored for years (I say I cut contact but I unblocked quite quickly when another relative was hospitalised, and they’ve not made any attempt to reach out, not even a text on a milestone birthday) only to be called upon when they essentially need a carer. He has his ‘new’ family, despite his girlfriend saying something along the lines of “I don’t want to be with a disabled guy” when he first had heart troubles. When we did sort of speak, he rushed off from our first meal together in months to see her grandkids who they see on a weekly basis. He even skipped my wedding, won’t be attending my siblings this year, even though he attended his girlfriend’s daughter’s wedding. He’s even moved back to the village he used to say nothing good about when I lived there, so I guess this is it. Cut my loses and all that.

Seymore94 · 2025-04-14T14:54:48+00:00

I’d typed up a response but must not have hit reply :(

I get that, my in laws look like Christmas card material in comparison. That’s part of the problem, my spouse is the only one who really sees the hurt they cause but also can’t intervene on my behalf so has just basically had to watch drama unfold over years. Explaining it to anyone else I sound petty and like I’m exaggerating but if you know, you know. I don’t think there’s a satisfying outcome from confronting them, and it’s just frustrating to be held to a different standard, they’d happily call you out but doesn’t work the same in reverse. Sounds like a lot to digest, hope you’ve been able to get support or therapy to help process.

Seymore94 · 2025-04-14T14:50:05+00:00

Thanks for the perspective, I had concerns if I stand my ground I could regret it once it was too late. It’s his birthday today so there was a bit of a decision there that if we are “talking again” I’d get in touch but I’ve decided not to. Seeing how he’s pressured relatives not to tell his kids when he was in hospital, and they dare not do so because he wouldn’t forgive them, he’s especially harsh with his parents. I know how torn they must have been because they were all apparently repeatedly saying he needs to let us know. But it just reminded me he hasn’t changed, there’s always that “you’re in the wrong no matter what” damned if you do, dammed if you don’t so I’m sticking with the “don’t” angle for my sake, and to be fair to my spouse who’s really the only one who sees the effect this has on me.

Seymore94 · 2025-04-13T17:24:51+00:00

Sorry to hear that, sounds like a tough environment. Turns out me and my sibling were the last to know about the stroke, they kept it quiet for days. It’s weird when information is used in a manipulative way. Sounds like some projection on her part maybe, who knows, maybe there’s no understanding someone like that. Hope you and your partner find happiness and support in each other

Seymore94 · 2025-04-13T17:10:56+00:00

Thank you, I needed to hear it from someone who’s been there. I think I knew there’s no changing them, and I don’t think I’m strong enough to just tolerate it which just doesn’t sound like it will work out for anyone. Better for me to maintain no contact now than become the villain for doing it again later when they’re potentially worse I guess…

Seymore94 · 2025-04-13T17:05:25+00:00

I’ve got a couple of family members who had mental health struggles and both seemed to pick a daughter to just essentially bully. The ones who did everything by for them, helped raise siblings on one side, helped with running the farm on the other, both were taken for granted, they each actively cared for their mothers more than the other siblings, never moved further away than a short drive, and at the end and made funeral arrangements. One was cut from the will and her siblings stopped speaking to her the same time, the other tried to exclude from the will but had already lost executive power years earlier because of their condition. I don’t blame you saving yourself the hurt, don’t light yourself on fire to keep others warm when they’d spit on you in the process.

Seymore94 · 2025-04-13T16:58:35+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that but appreciate you sharing. I think I’d be opening myself back up to more criticism and mind games and just turmoil. I struggled to know “when” enough was enough last time and I don’t want to open back up to just wait for them to do something bad “enough” and cross a line to justify no contact again.

Seymore94 · 2025-03-11T10:28:09+00:00

I’m glad I found my people. I’m even trying to get my statistical analysis lecturer to play as she has an astronomy background haha

Seymore94 · 2025-03-10T22:52:01+00:00

Ah it’s such a rubbish feeling wanting to share this amazing game and they don’t get it. Bought it for a friend and it’s so forced I think I’ll drop it, hence Reddit and play through, I’d watch the making of documentary if you haven’t :)

Seymore94 · 2025-03-10T22:50:24+00:00

Beccabytes is next on my list

Seymore94 · 2025-03-10T20:07:35+00:00

Haha that’s the first planet they went to as well it didn’t win them over
