Faster Routes for the Stubborn Ones

A few trophies will pop naturally as you play. The rest reward a small amount of setup. Here is how to clear the longer ones in batches.

Sleeping Through Survival Days

The four survival trophies only check the in-game day counter. Pitch a tent in a safe spot and rest your way to 50. Hunger and thirst still tick up while you sleep, so stock food and water before grinding.

Cheating the Build Counters

The game treats log stacks as structures. Drop a small forest, link the logs in any loose connected layout, and Tradesman, Contractor, Architect, and City Planner all fall in one session. Architecture optional.

Popping a Sluggy

Sluggies live in caves, usually wedged between rocks. Once you spot one, sweep the surrounding chamber for an explosive. Most cave layouts spawn one close by. Toss, retreat, watch the Piñata trophy pop.

Fi-Z and Free Cash in One Trip

Head to the Cinema Room inside the Guest Keycard Bunker and pitch a tent just outside. Walk in, drink the five Energy Drinks that spawn there, save, reload, repeat. Ten loops finishes This Can't Be Healthy. While you are inside, raid the briefcases and tables to chip away at the 1% achievement at the same time.

Tech Armor for Dynamo

Dynamo wants the full Tech Armor set crafted and equipped. The recipe needs a specific mix of bunker components. The HolyHosting Tech Armor crafting walkthrough covers the parts list if you need a refresher.

The Foodie Buffet

Foodie is a checklist trophy. Eat one of every edible in the game:

• Blueberries, Blackberries, Salmonberries, Guarana Berries, Twinberries, Snowberries
• Devil's Club, Yarrow, Chicory, Fireweed, Arrowleaf, Aloe Vera, Horsetail
• King Oyster, Shiitake, Hyndum Repandum, Fly Amanita
• Health Mix, Health Mix+, Energy Mix, Energy Mix+
• Fish, Meat, Oyster, Turtle Eggs
• Human Leg, Human Arm
• Energy Drink, Meds, Energy Bar, MRE Pack, Canned Food
• Crunchie Wunchies, Ramen Noodles, Bacon Bite, Brain Bite, Steak Bite

Yes, the human limbs count. Pretend you did not read that line.

Fashionista Wardrobe

Your closet needs every player outfit plus all of Virginia's wardrobe.

Player clothing: Hoodie, Leather Jacket, Winter Jacket, Blazer, Tactical Jacket, Red Mask, Gold Armor, Gold Mask, Wet Suit, Tuxedo, Pajamas.

Virginia's clothing: Camouflage Suit, Track Suit, Dress, Leather Suit.

Maker Print List

Once you reach a 3D printer, run off each of these at least once:

• Sled
• Tech Mesh
• Grappling Hook
• Red Mask
• Flask
• Arrow

Watch Farming for Collector

The plane crash site is the easy farm spot for this one. Set up a tent nearby, raid every luggage piece for Drogue Watches, save, exit, then reload. The luggage resets and the watches respawn. Keep cycling until you hit 50.

Raw Fish on Auto Pilot

Hand Kelvin a fishing rod and aim him at the water. He will fish on his own while you chase other goals. Eat 20 of his catches raw, since cooking ruins the count, and I Dream of Sushi is yours.

Digging Anywhere

Badger and I Like Blisters only care about hole count, not placement. Park yourself near base, equip the shovel, and chip away while you handle other tasks. A thousand holes adds up faster than it sounds when you do it in idle moments.

MC Crafty Weapon Checklist

Craft each of the following at a workbench or crafting mat:

• Torch
• Crafted Bow
• Molotov
• Crafted Club
• Crafted Spear
• Repair Tool

The trophy pops on the last one.

Going for full completion is a lot smoother in co-op, and HolyHosting servers keep the world running so a group can grind together. Get the squad, split the lists, and the platinum lands faster.
