Clearing the grindy achievements in Deserts of Kharak
By notthisagain
Despite being an underrated game, Deserts of Kharak does have some really grindy achievements. This guide outlines how to speedup the artifact/win achievements.

Requirements: these strategies require the Gameplay Extensions Mod v1.4.4.1 [github.com]

Main Strategy
You should run games under
Multiplayer > Public Games List > Create Game > Private
You can pick any AI level since these patches overpower your units.

  1. Install the Gameplay Extensions mod[github.com] by AGameAnx[github.com] (you only need it do it once).
  2. Copy the relevant file data into the "patch.json" file. Which file data you install will depend on the faction you want to play as (you can only boost one faction at a time). Since some factions share statistical data, make sure that if you pick Colaition or Sabon, you only battle Khaneep or Gallsien (and viceversa).
  3. The patch will speedup your baserunner (for easier artifact collecting), highly increase speed and damage of the sandskimmer and LAV (depending on the faction).
  4. After you have completed a game, rewatch the replay. The achievement counter should increase with each replay.


List of Faction Patches
Patches should be installed in:
Deserts of Kharak > Data > patch.json
To install a patch, copy the contents of the relevant file into "patch.json" (only one patch can be applied at a time).

Final thoughts / Acknowledgements
  1. Thanks to Kolgerlar for coming up with the replay strategy.
  2. Million thanks to AGameAnx and his contributors for the wonderful GE Mod. Patch injection would not be possible without it.

Seriously? The achievement counter working with replays? So, basically, you can play once in each mode and with each faction?
