Tips

This achievement is not hard but quite buggy. Many people, myself included, had trouble getting it, so I decided to make a guide for this achievement.. Here is some tips:

1) Play on beta version of the game. To do it right click on the game in your steam library, then choose "Properties", then choose "Betas", then choose "beta - Public Beta Test".

2) Disable steam cloud synchronization for this game (properties -> general -> bottom line) and delete file "Achievements.sav" in save folder (C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\RiverGame\Saved\SaveGames). You can make a backup if you want, just be sure you don't have this file in your save folder when you start a new endless game.

3) You don't need to delete other save files in save folder, so you can use items from dog's backpack from the previous game in your new game. Try to collect as much food and water as you can in dog's backpack before you die and start a new game. You can use any type of food (including meat). With 30 pieces of jerky and 15 jars of clean water you can spend at least 15 days in the starting location. You can use sleep option on campfire to save your time.

4) You need more than 20 days to get this achievement. I got it at the beginning of the 25th day. Some people said that they got it after death.
auri gave good advice in the comments

5) Try to avoid any type of animal death, even animal versus animal. It means don't use snakes or bears to kill other animals.

As I said earlier this achievement is buggy. No one knows what exactly you need to do to get this achievement. I just described conditions in my successful attempt (27.04.2018). Perhaps you don't need to follow all these steps, but better safe than sorry.

You can share your experience in the comments.

Thanks! This guide worked and I got the achievement eventhough I was eating jerky, grubs and night crawlers. I just went to the nearest campsite with 40 pieces of jerky, 5 jars (replenishing during rain), slept a lot to speed up the process (not through day transition) and I got the achievement exactly at day 20. :cozybethesda:

@auri Are you sure of this? How did you manage to test that? Or are you just guessing?

The number of days required for the achievement to pop increases when you "over-sleep" and miss the day transition (dawn). Never sleep through it -- wake up just prior and wait until the day-counter ticks forward before sleeping further.

So if you miss dawn 2 times, achievement may pop as late as day 22. (20+2)

Thank you man! I was trying a lot for this. For me, on the day 27th it worked. People who is trying: some days have a bug (day 19 skyp to 21, then actually my 27th day is the normal 20).

Выполнил инструкции. Медведи убивали волков а змеи кроликов, собирал с них мясо. Также питался растительной пищей, чаями, червями и личинками. Достижение получил в начале 21-го дня.

Thanks for the tips! I followed this guide and got the achievement at the beginning of the 26th day. But I never ate any meat or worms/grubs just to be sure.

"Some people said that they got it after death." (с) After death from boring.

Too bad the achievements in this game are so broken.
