EarthX 100% Achievement Guide

EarthX is a short tycoon game about running your own rocket launching company, with an end goal of terraforming Mars. I finished my first casual playthrough in around 4 hours, and the game only requires one full playthrough for achievement collection purposes.

Launch You Up

“Reach Orbit.”
– Launch a rocket into orbit, any size rocket will work.

Amateur

“Launch 25 Rockets.”
– Launch 25 rockets into orbit, any size rocket will work.

Startup

“Launch 100 Rockets.”
– Launch 100 rockets into orbit, any size rocket will work.

Being Serious

“Launch 500 Rockets.”
– Launch 500 rockets into orbit, any size rocket will work.

I Know What I’m Doing

“Launch 1000 Rockets.”
– Launch 1000 rockets into orbit, any size rocket will work.

Are you okay?

“Launch 5000 Rockets.”
– Launch 5000 rockets into orbit, any size rocket will work.

No.

“Launch 42,069.”
– Launch 42,069 rockets into orbit, any size rocket will work. By the end game, you should have managers that are automatically accepting contracts and launching rockets for you. Leave your PC idle for a while and this one will eventually unlock. This will probably be the last achievement you earn for this game.

Orbital Potato

“Launch a potato and subscribe to him.”
– This will be one of the first payloads offered to you.

Tintin

“Launch the first 2 test-satellites of your own internet connection.”
– After unlocking the medium rocket, the LinkLink test satellite payload will become available.

“Launch a pizza to the ISS.”
– From the start of the game, you can see the ISS test payload from the contracts menu. Launch the pizza to unlock this achievement.

Cheesy

“Launch a cheese to the ISS.”
– From the start of the game, you can see the ISS test payload from the contracts menu. Launch the cheese to unlock this achievement.

Zero-G Indicator

“Launch an Earth plush to the ISS.”
– From the start of the game, you can see the ISS test payload from the contracts menu. Launch the Earth plush to unlock this achievement.

Supplier

“Supply ISS for 3 times!”
– After unlocking the cargo capsule, a mission will appear to send supplies to the ISS. There are over 10 shipments to go to the ISS, but the achievement will unlock after completing the 3rd.

Meow

“Launch a cat to the ISS.”
– After unlocking the cargo capsule, a mission will appear to fly an astronaut’s cat to the ISS. Accept the mission and send the cat in a cargo capsule to unlock the achievement.

A Mysterious Payload

“Launch a technician to the ISS with a cargo capsule.”
– Shortly after unlocking the crew capsule, a mission will appear saying that a technician needs to get to the ISS quickly, and that the mission must be a secret. Send up a cargo capsule with the technician and the achievement will unlock.

Made on Earth by Humans

“Launch a car.”
– After unlocking the Heavy rocket, a mission will appear to launch a car. Accept the contract, and send up the car

Rideshare

“Launch 4 payloads at once.”
– The medium rocket can launch up to 5 very small payloads with the rideshare upgrade unlocked, so accept enough contracts to fill a medium rocket with 4+ payloads and launch it.

Rideshare Plus

“Launch 10 payloads at once.”
– The easiest way to do this is to launch a cargo starship with 10 LinkLink payloads aboard. This is somewhat expensive, so I advise doing this towards the end of the game.

Hats

“Sell hats.”
– After unlocking the Medium rocket, the hat fundraiser will be unlocked.

Bricks

“Sell bricks.”
– After unlocking the Large rocket, the brick fundraiser will be unlocked.

Not a Flamethrower

“Sell (not) Flamethrowers.”
– After unlocking the Cargo Capsule, the (not) flamethrower fundraiser will be unlocked.

%%%

“Sell rocketquillas.”
– After unlocking the Heavy rocket, the rocketquilla fundraiser will be unlocked.

Short Shorts

“Sell short shorts.”
– After unlocking either the Superheavy rocket or the Cargo Spaceship, the short shorts fundraiser will be unlocked.

LinkLink

“Launch 1000 LinkLink satellites.”
– Each LinkLink payload contains 60 satellites, so once you launch 17 payloads, this achievement will unlock.

Demand

“Get 25,000,000 users in LinkLink.”
– Keep launching LinkLink satellites and building terminals until you’re able to accomodate 25 million users. If you’re having difficulty acquiring customers, try lowering the price of LinkLink.

Richness in your blood I feel

“Make $1 billion a year from your own internet constellation.”
– You might earn this while going for the “Demand” achievement. If you didn’t, then just keep sending up satellites and building terminals until you do.

Colony

“Land on Mars.”
– Sending your first supply ships to Mars will unlock this achievement.

City

“First People on Mars.”
– Produce Martians in a Giga Factory on Earth, then send them to Mars in a Crew Starship.

Home 2.0

“Terraform Mars.”
– Mars is terraformed by detonating nukes on the surface of Mars, or by launching Martian LinkLinks into Mars Orbit. Reach 100% terraforming to unlock this achievement and win the game.

“Name your CEO “Mary””

Big F*cking Rocket

“Launch a Spaceship.”
– Build and launch a spaceship for the first time. You need a Superheavy rocket to send it up, but after you do, the achievement will unlock.

Bad Guy

“Explode 50 rockets during the flight.”
– Two methods for this achievement. 1) Start a game on hard mode and launch small rockets. Some will explode during their mission. You can progress to medium rockets and ignore the static-firing test to increase explosion probability. Restart a new game after explosion probability drops too low. 2) At the end game stage, the chance of failure is only 1%, and managers will be constantly launching rockets for you. Leaving the game to idle while working towards the “No.” achievement will eventually earn you this one in the progress.

The Falling Bag of Money

“Catch 3 fairings.”
– The large rocket has an upgrade to allow you to catch the fairings of a launched rocket. Whether you make the catch or not seems to be random. After getting the upgrade, you should get this achievement after launching a few large rockets.

Missed Again!

“Lose 3 fairings in the water.”
– The large rocket has an upgrade to allow you to catch the fairings of a launched rocket. Whether you make the catch or not seems to be random. After getting the upgrade, you should get this achievement after launching a few large rockets.

Reusability Master

“Land with 100 rockets.”
– The medium rocket has an upgrade to be manually landed back on the ground at the end of the mission. Large rockets, Superheavy rockets, and Starships all have an upgrade to land automatically. So just launch a lot of rockets, and you’ll unlock this one over time.

Of Course I Still Love You

“Land with 500 rockets.”
– The medium rocket has an upgrade to be manually landed back on the ground at the end of the mission. Large rockets, Superheavy rockets, and Starships all have an upgrade to land automatically. So just launch a lot of rockets, and you’ll unlock this one over time.

Economy

“Reuse 100 rockets.”
– After successfully landing a rocket, you will have to pay a cost to refurbish the rocket. After refurbishment, the rocket is ready for another mission. You will probably unlock this achievement not long after “Reusability Master”

How dare you?!

“Build 50 factories.”
– Any factory counts toward this achievement. If you don’t unlock it while completing the game, then start building small factories on Earth until the achievement unlocks.

Without Interest

“Launch a payload for free.”
– In the contracts menu, some contracts are available for open bidding, with the lowest bidder winning the contract. Bid $0 on a contract, and after the bidding timer is done, the achievement will unlock.

Gigaproduction

“Build 10 Gigafactories.”
– Gigafactories are expensive, so I would advise doing this later in the game. Just build 10 of them anywhere on Earth and the achievement is yours.
