I don't think that is how speedruns work. I always saw then restart the clock with every attempt. Like I get it that you only get to unlock the achievement once but also seems strange to count all attempts time as one go.

Stellaris must have a mechanism just to troll you because first time you start the game you get everything you asked for like good starting position,many resources or good digging sites but with huge disadvantages like spawning near a cosmic golliathian or trinyakis surrending expanding zone.
Everytime I try to hunt achievements, something weird happens. My empire becomes The Crisis and I enact EXTERMINATUS upon the galaxy. It's got to be a bug.
Video suggestion: simulate a Middle Earth galaxy. Do the Hobbits as Democratic Inward Perfectionists, Mordor as Dictatorial Fanatic Purifiers, Dwarves as Imperial Subterranean Miner Guilds, Elves as Imperial Pleasure Seekers/Masterful Crafters, Gondor as Imperial Ascensionists, Rohan as Imperial Environmentalists, and any others you can think of.

I did this several patches ago, back when you could still see system names if you clicked survey and then moused over any given star. Don't remember the exact patch, but sol had a quirk of spawning on the edge of the galaxy. So I literally spent 2 hours spawning tiny galaxies with 1 other ai empire, and then mousing over stars at the edge of the galaxy. If I didn't see Sol, quit to main menu and try again. If I did, build 5 assault armies and send a sciene ship straight there, with the army following them. Got Earth in the wrong age twice, and restarted, then got it in WW2 on the 7th try. Got the achievement, then deleted the galaxy and moved on with my life. I'm sure if you trawled the PDX Stellaris forums long enough, you could find the post that I did that told me about that particular way to cheese the achievement, and then cross reference it with the dates various versions of Stellaris came out, so you could roll back to that patch. Not sure why you would, unless you REALLY want that 100%, but the option is there.

Would you be surprised if i said that this was only the second worst decision i've ever seen in speedrunning? There's a german gaming tv/yt channel that featured someone playing Zelda ALttP Randomizer. Dude didn't want to waste like 10 seconds on a particular chest towards the beginning. Which cost him iirc about 90 min at the end because it contained the boots! XD
Every alien civilization according to Hollywood be like:
The closest I've gotten was spawning right next to the Sol system, but as soon as I finished the survey Earth became spacefaring federation builders 😭
thank you for making this !!! ive been trying to get this achievement as well, and really enjoyed the video :0
Congratulations Fleetlord Atvar
i see the rare crystals strat and I'm proposing one easier: loading the ironman save into multiplayer & go into observer mode to check if sol is near & if it is the age you need. Then race for it. You can easily switch from observer to playing and finish your achievements. Also if the save is ironman, multiplayer will not block achievements. One day my brother and his friend helped me eliminate slavery and once the achievement fired for me, each of them loaded my empire to grab it for themselves too. You can't look into Ironman save files because they're encrypted (unless observer mode bypass was the cheating you meant). I do think the way you did it was more interesting, though, since you actually used base game mechanics to your advantage. Also what I didn't know in ~a thousand hours in this game was that you can disable popup events thank you. my own speedruns are so, so much easier 😂

There is a freeware of Axis and Allies called tripleA. One of the mods has the war of the worlds martians attack during a steampunk earth on the verge of WW1.
We need that spongebob bikini bottom build, a megacorp (with mr krabs) or empire (with posideon) obsessed with the krabby patty (food) as a aquatic toxoid species since they were used for nuclear testing You could do a lot of things with that, like overturned for rapid mutations, payback origin to get back at those humans for testing their nukes on you, so many fun ideas
Ultra-Achievement hunting is nice on Paradox games. I remember trying to get "On the Rhodes again" in EU4, which is super hard and I did this over the course of a week, with restarting so often, that I don't even know how often I did restart.
Stay on target is a fun one to achieve
I thought this had to be done while that event chain happens for sol. Good to know.
From all PDX games, stellaris achievements are the most random and out of players agency. I love space and I love stellaris and my love for space and its wonders have kept me hooked, but without my love for the unknown space worlds we might explore, I think I might have droped the game by now, and thats how unrewarding games are, where you hope for a certain star to spawn, and it didn't, and you wasted an entire run. You can over rollplay only so ofter over that.
Wow... I feel very lucky. My first time I did it using the same settings as you did after hearing about the achievement and got it on my first try, like within 5 minutes. A hour or more id probably stop lmao
Should have taken a whiskey shot for ever attempt restart yah did. :p
I got this achieve by accident, I didn't know it was _that_ hard. I thought it was really cool the defense armies were named after the major powers of the war though when invading.
I actually did this in my current game. Not iron mode so i did not get the acheivement. I was a fanatic egalitarian, militarist, reptilan empire and I was suprised how quickly the humans integrated into my civilization. When my 1st president finally died of old age, the only human official I hired was elected as his replacement. This just 40 years after I Invade Earth.

Did you really beat them if they were the one ruling you empire in the end ?
I was in a game where Sol made it from pre-FTL into an empire, which then promptly took like 10% of my 1,000 star playfield. It was wild.
This was one of my first achievements funny enough.
In my head, I've got 3 hours, for some reason...I feel this is both unnecessarily optimistic, while also seeing the video time, and suspect you get a wildly lucky start! Or, you know, that whole speed run thing that you just mentioned, hah.

imagen this is the irl footage of aliens trying to find us.
I remember when I got this achievement. Was playing a devouring swarm and spawned like 4 systems away.
3:21 I think you can only make peace with the Space Amoebae if you’re Xenophile or Pacifist (or RS), and since you didn’t get the “learn to co-exist” then I’m assuming you have some other ethics.
SO you playing the Worldwar Series from Harry Turtledove. Where Aliens try to invade during WW2.
once upon a time i found "Sol III" with a pre-ftl species on it, and managed to take over, but it was before i knew of the achievement (2019, i have a screenshot) and i believe once they actually discovered FTL, just in time to say hello to the devouring swarm heading their way (run by me) other then that i swear every time i find Sol.. the 3rd planet is either already a tomb world, or they die before i get there somehow. so i guess you could say i've been working on this achievement for 4+ years... minus some times i started on SOL to get another achievement.
I picked up outside context by coincidence when I did a purifier run. My main goal for that run was 200 starbases
I got this in a normal game where it just happened to happen.
"Sol III is a Tomb World" well dang, Stellaris is good at predicting the year 2200
There needs to be a hoi 4 mod where stellaris aliens come in and start fkn sht up, it would be hilarious
in like 1:56 your armada was fighting in Klendath system which is reference to Starship troopers im 100% sure

Well he said earth had a 1/2 chance of appearing at all, and a further 1/4 chance of being in the machine age. Which would be a 1/8 chance (not counting the chance of them leaving the machine age before you find Sol). Also, he discovered at the end of the video that there were actually 2 total occurrences of this (because of the abandoned run which turned out to have Sol in it). So, 2/12 seems (at least initially) to be a reasonable outcome if the base odds were about 1/8. In theory, if we ran this thousands of times, we'd get about 1/8 over time.
I got this achievement on my second time playing the game by sheer luck. I was starting an extreme conquest game, saw Earth in this state and recognized it might have been wwii and had a laugh about it before invading and being shocked that I got an achievement for it. Only recently did I find out exactly how rare this achievement is.
So I just got the "old friend" achievement. You have to get a gift from the Ancient Caretakers' fallen empire.
Eye spy a cup of tea! :p
nailed it
I got unreasonably lucky trying to go for the 12 insight tech achievement. I was in disbelief that I randomly found it.
i actually already got the outside context achievement by accident LOL
I accidentally received the achievement on a Devouring Swarm playthrough. Didn't even bother checking who the primitives were. When I realized, I laughed. What's worse than Nazi's? Probably bugs.
90% of achievement hunters give up just before they find machine age Earth
I just realised i got this achievement without wanting tooo LOL
11:00 Something about mining for gold...
I have 100% in this game and this one was one of the last I got. It was restart simolator. Never again.
You can speed up exploring the galaxy by going spiritualist and taking master crafters, so you can build an alloy processing center right away and not worry about unity or consumer goods. Take the Imperial Fiefdom origin, send an envoy to your overlord to improve relations, then negotiate for shared sensors 60 months in. They'll explore with science ships, as will the other vassals, which will explore the galaxy far faster than your 3 or 4 science ships will. This woris for more things than just this achievement, such as the worm, finding 4 holy worlds, etc.
Being friendly with space amoeba requires xenophile. It'll always show up as an option if you're xenophile. It gives you a project to research instead of doing tech, and that makes you friendly with them.

There is indeed a notification, albeit a variation on the usual one. If you survey Earth when it starts the game in the machine age (and if it hasn't moved onto the atomic age yet), the notification telling you "there's a machine age society on this world" will also add that it is engulfed in a global war. The war lasts throughout this entire age, but will not start again if Earth leaves and returns to the machine age later.
just yesterday i thought il start a new save. Du to recent moving i have no internet yet.Thus was not able to start the usual ironmode game. Neighbor system to home system: Sol State of Sol: In the middle of ww2 Why paradox
~1 hour is comparable for this achievement for when I tried getting 100%. I also did max hyperlanes and scintillating skin, which make it not as bad to search. I hope you don't get burned out achievement hunting and quit Stellaris like I did.

I'm the luckest person in the world, because I got this achievment by accident, not knowing about it. Could be better if my luck wasn't only in such useless things

Alas, your attempt was already doomed by then Either you took too long and humanity had already left the machine age, or they started in the early space age. Pre-FTL civilisations can only nuke themselves into tomb worlds during the atomic or early space ages, so while Earth's machine age world war is taking place, humanity can't blow itself up. A small mercy for what is still a brutal achievement.
Hey so I dont know much about Stelaris my Dad plays it a bit but I thought you played as the United Nations Hundred of years after you left earth so how can you return to earth during WW2
Why didn't you reset the timer every time you start a new game? Isn't that the purpose of the speedrun - to reset after a restart?
Hardest achievment ??? what about the one you need to get the galatron (Inscrutable Power) ? and the one you need to get the galatron through war (Raiders of the Lost Galatron)? Or the one to overthrown the emperor (Sic Semper Tyrannis)?
Don't you think it would be hard to invade earth whilst it is in ww2, since it is a period of heavy militarisation and everyone was ready to fight, a little bit like it would have been difficult to invade japan in the middle of the Sengoku era, a big civil war

Hes going to claim it took minutes, it actually took days, but he only counts specifically parts of them where he actually specifically was actively playing: normal people would take literally years IRL because they aren't speed running it on purpose with mathmaticaly optimized strategy. (Haven't watched the video yet after where he said to guess, i will post my findings on this after I finish the video in a reply to this comment.)
