Wanderburg Achievements Guide

Wanderburg has 26 public Steam achievements in Build 0.9.9: five distance milestones, five vehicle-destruction milestones, five boss milestones, five consumption milestones, and six progression or victory achievements. Randwerk reduced several long-term requirements on September 10, and hotfix 0.9.9 fixed the victory checks identified in that announcement.

What changed after launch

The September 10 Achievement Rebalancing announcement reduced the upper distance goals from 1,000 / 5,000 / 10,000 km to 250 / 500 / 1,000 km. It reduced the two highest boss goals from 100 and 500 to 75 and 100. It also reduced the upper consumption goals from 10,000 / 50,000 / 100,000 to 7,500 / 10,000 / 25,000. Vehicle-destruction tiers stayed unchanged.

The same post warned that the first-win and all-biomes victory checks did not trigger when a winning run continued into Overtime. Hotfix 0.9.9 subsequently says those two achievement checks were fixed. If Steam still does not award one, confirm that the game is updated to 0.9.9 or later, restart Steam, and allow Steam Cloud to synchronize before treating it as a new bug.

Plan the checklist efficiently

Do not treat the four long counter families as separate runs. Distance, consumption, vehicle destruction, and boss destruction accumulate through normal play, so a run that advances biome or vehicle progression can also move several counters. The two biome achievements and two named vehicle achievements are useful near-term checkpoints; the highest cumulative counters are long-term goals.

Steam's public descriptions confirm what is counted but not every internal timing detail. Avoid quitting during an award animation, and check the Steam overlay or achievement page after the run ends. If a counter appears stuck, record the displayed game build and the before-and-after value so a report is reproducible.

For confirmed biome and vehicle names, continue to Vehicles, Biomes, and Unlocks. For balance changes that may affect a farming route, check Modules and the Updates timeline.

Read each counter family correctly

Distance uses metres in the achievement names and kilometres in the public descriptions. Randwerk explained that metres are what the game actually tracks, so the two labels describe the same progress rather than separate counters. The current five endpoints are 10,000, 100,000, 250,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 metres. When comparing an older screenshot, use the number rather than assuming its title still reflects the current tier.

The vehicle-destruction family is the only five-tier counter that was not changed in the September 10 rebalance. Its current steps remain 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000. “Vehicles destroyed” is a cumulative account result; the public description does not say that a specific biome, enemy type, or player vehicle changes the amount counted.

Bosses now finish at 100 rather than the pre-rebalance 500. Units consumed now finish at 25,000 rather than 100,000. Those reductions mean an older checklist can greatly overstate the remaining grind even if its lower tiers still look correct. Use the current Steam page as the final check when planning a long session.

Check a missing achievement without risking progress

First allow the run to finish and return to a stable menu, then open Steam's achievement view. Restart Steam if the overlay and public page disagree, and wait for Steam Cloud to synchronize. Do not delete saves, disable cloud data, or install an unofficial unlocker: none of those actions are supported by the official fix record, and they can turn a display delay into a data problem.

If the missing result is You won! or All Lands won!, confirm Build 0.9.9 or later because the 0.9.9 announcement explicitly fixed the related first-win and all-biomes checks. Include whether the run entered Overtime, since that was the failure condition named one day earlier. For a cumulative counter, capture the value before and after a simple repeatable action if the game exposes it.

A useful report contains the achievement's Steam display name, current build, whether Steam was online, what the run accomplished, whether Overtime was used, and whether restarting or cloud synchronization changed the result. That gives the official community enough context to distinguish a known trigger issue from a new report without promising that this guide can force an award.

Sources and version boundary

The list and public requirements come from Steam Global Achievements. Threshold changes come from Randwerk's September 10 Achievement Rebalancing post, and the victory-check fix comes from the 0.9.9 official hotfix. Sources were checked on September 12, 2026.
