Wanderburg achievements not unlocking: patch status and requirements

The win-achievement fix is announced. Check the revised counters before grinding.

Randwerk announced a fix for the first-win and all-biomes-win achievements in version 0.9.9 on September 11. Advice saying that this particular bug is still waiting for its first fix is therefore outdated. This is an official patch claim, not our own test of every affected save. Official 0.9.9 notes

Which win achievements does this concern?

Steam's public list calls the achievements You won! and All Lands won!. The patch announcement uses descriptive first-win and all-biomes wording. We use Steam's displayed names here to help you find the entries in your achievement list. Steam achievement list

On September 10, the developer described a detection problem associated with continuing into Overtime after winning. The following day's 0.9.9 announcement reports the fix. Read the two announcements together rather than treating the earlier warning as the current status. September 10 explanation, September 11 fix

If one remains locked, first let pending game updates finish, then compare the exact achievement name with the requirement shown in Steam. We have not verified whether every old save needs another qualifying action to trigger recognition. The notes reviewed here do not justify telling everyone to erase progress or replay the whole game.

Current cumulative requirements checked on September 13

The public Steam list and the September 10 adjustment notice agree on these thresholds. Numbers below use commas as thousands separators; distance is expressed in kilometres for readability.

Counter Five thresholds
Distance, in km 10 / 100 / 250 / 500 / 1,000
Vehicles destroyed 100 / 500 / 1,000 / 5,000 / 10,000
Units consumed 1,000 / 5,000 / 7,500 / 10,000 / 25,000
Bosses destroyed 10 / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100

Steam displays distance titles in metres. For example, the final distance title represents 1,000,000 metres, which is 1,000 km. Do not mistake the metre figure for a kilometre target. Steam achievement list

Why an older guide gives much larger targets

The September 10 adjustment reduced the final distance target from 10,000 km to 1,000 km, consumed units from 100,000 to 25,000, and bosses from 500 to 100. Vehicle thresholds were unchanged. This explains why a launch-era guide can disagree with the current list without your progress being lost. Official requirement changes

These are requirement checks, not a fastest-farming route. We have not verified a best build, a completion-time estimate, or a reliable method to force recognition on an affected old save.

If the achievement remains locked after updating

Our suggested report should include the exact Steam achievement name, installed game version if visible, when you met the condition, whether that happened before or after updating, and whether you continued into Overtime. That keeps the historical bug distinct from a potentially different current issue.

If the run ends because the game crashes, use the separate crash and launch-option checks. This page does not establish that a crashed run's progress is recoverable.
