Trabalho em andamento

These remaining 3 do 17 hidden achievements are those I’ve neither figured out, nor could find any info about. They may be a) WIP, b) well hidden, c) deeply connected to eachother somehow or d) bugged for the time being, I just don’t know.

According to SteamDB records, these have absolutely 0.0% percent completion rate throughout the community as well. I will update accordingly as they are solved in time. Please drop a comment if you happen to know.

What They Hide From Us

– Discover the ruins of the genetic facility

– Capítulo: Desconhecido

I’ve tried scouting the locations instead of doing “the obvious objective” (avoiding too much spoilers) no capítulo 5, but no luck. (Surpresa: Those choices all destroy the ship and kill all the crew!)

Delivery!

– Research every single upgrade for the Drone Bay

– Capítulo: 4+

I’ve completed every upgrade for the Drone Bay, but it did not unlock. Might be just bugged, or we might need to have found a Science Ship choice type of hidden upgrade for this earlier, which so far no one did apparently.

Beyond Time and Space

– Finish the chain of events concerning the strange spheres

– Capítulo: Desconhecido, provavelmente 2+

De novo, no further info or achievers yet. It is believed to start with Rockatansky D79 sphere, which needs Science Ship – Deep Dive Apparatus upgrade to fully complete, but I don’t have positive confirmation.
