Can't unlock "suffer not the alien" achievement

[Alex Coldeye]

I've purged everything including enclave and pre-space species in my galaxy, but the achievements simply stay unlocked.

Unlocked other achievements in the same run.

Using hyper drive so pretty sure every corner of my tiny galaxy is detected.

Never modify my species.

The only reason I can assume is I have "the coming storm" in my situation log, does late-game crisis affect this achievements?

 

[Alex Coldeye]

umm I already defeated those scourge and achievements still remain unlocked... now I have totally no idea what to do with my purge everything run

 

[Hopit]

Exterminate those pre-space species and enclaves

already did that, I'm the only country could be seen in contacts

Ignore contacts, what about the species ledger?

It's the same, I'm the only species could be seen in species.

Are you absolutely sure you've surveyed every system there is?

 

[Ur-Quan Lord 13]

My only guess is, do you have any stone age primitives you didn't enslave and purge? Those are technically sentient...

They don't show up in the species ledger, so I'd be surprised if the game counts them, but I made sure to enslave and then purge each one after colonizing their world.

I also uplifted and then purged all the pre-sentients, just in case the game logic didn't handle them right. Though it seems excessively cruel, to make them capable of advanced thought before exterminating them...

I got the achievement, no need to kill the enclaves if i remember right.
Enslaved a stoneage-civilisation while colonising a planet after the achievement, so no need for this.
I think you just need to have to be the only one in species menu. Had to destroy all my robots though, may be this is your problem?

 

[I am Sovereign]

It is almost surely not helping but I guess this poor guy is running out of options.
Dissolve all armies which consists out of members of other species. I am 99% sure it will not help but yeah...its worth trying anything after you played so many hours.

 

[AledlePieux]

Maybe dealing with robots or some armies? (robots or mutants armies are counted as not from your species maybe?)

As someone who's going for every achievement in the game, i find this thread deeply disturbing. Are you sure you are of the right ethics / empire type for the achievement to unlock? E.g. i had to be spiritualist for the achievement Deus Vult to fire.

For deus vult there is no check for ethos. Just got it on a a Col-Mil-Spir empire.

Rip my logic lol. Other than the luck based or ethos based achievements, I'm pretty much done except for Patron (support artists for 10 years) since i needed to get the kill a enclave achievement which turned the artisans hostile.

And out of the luck based ones, Voight-Kampff (stop robot end game crisis) is the hardest one to fire since Unbidden have a very high chance to spawn on hard/insane or anything larger than medium sized galaxies.

You can stack the odds a great deal in your favor for the ai rebellion, by going extreme materalist, beeline for sentient droids, and have atleast 16 of them. (The wiki has the exact setup)

I managed to stop the invation early, with a 20k fleet (and a 3 empire federation helping taking out the core)

IIRC if you set it up correctly, there is about a 75% chance to spawn the first events.

Yea that was my plan to get it, start as a materialist empire in a small galaxy and spam out robots to force it to fire. Although i'd have probably have to garrison some decent troops to prevent the robot armies from taking over. It'd also be nice to obtain the "Planned Obsolescence" achievement along the way.

 

[Ur-Quan Lord 13]

Make sure to enslave those synths. If I read the wiki right, you need to enslave at least some synths to get it to fire.

So, you'll need to be a collectivist. Which helps with planned obsolescence as well, since you can purge those pesky organic pops.

Having many enslaved synths also reduces the chance that you get the option to avoid it, but you can turn down that option anyway. I think. When I got the AI uprising, I had a ton of synth slaves, and no option was given.

I don't even have the robots tech since I want to secure this achievement from the very beginning so I never learn that. Also I disassemble robots from other country as soon as I got those ceded planet.

I'm a collective / fanatic xenophobic empire, got the 200 slave pops achievement in the same run.

 

[Alex Coldeye]

I'm trying to read the save file, and it seems it's the "species_index=21" that block me form the achievement. It seems a pop belong to my empire but I can't actually find where is this one. Also I notices it lack the sentence 'grown_by="default"' compare to other pop, is this the reason why it doesn't appear in species ledger?
