If you go to http://steamcommunity.com/stats/UniverseSandbox/achievements you can se an achievement name "The Code". There is no info how to earn this achievement, so can anyone help?
-
Yea i noticed that yesterday. No info is given for "Startup too Many" achievement too. Maybe they are new for the upcoming update?
-
0.1% of players has the achievement, so I guess it is working in this release
-
''Some will know from their childhood; some were not born yet''
Wtf
-
It worked for me and it worked for my brother. :)
-
Haha! I figured it out. The achievement's icon is a button, and the only "Code" I know of that involves buttons and someone's childhood is... well, actually I don't wanna spoil the surprise. But MAN figuring the code out made me feel good. It even opened up a Wikipedia article in case someone unlocked the achievement by accident and had no idea how they did it.
Dan, if it's possible could you make more achievements like this? It could be like some sort of metagame within the simulator and would actually give the achievements purpose, not to mention make them fun. ;D
-
So it is a sim I have to open?

What are you talking about it's not a button. Also that achievement isn't even listed in my steam.

Thanks for not spoiling it for everyone. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you have some other ideas for this? Private message me as to not reveal them to everyone.
So it is a sim I have to open?
No, but you should open them all anyway. :)
-
Can i get a hint, i guess i fall under the wasn't born yet category.

I don't get it at all, what button? do you have to type something or spawn something and name it?
-
It's a code. :P
Actually I have no idea.
-
Tried every reference I could remember. All I could think of was The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. 42 didn't work. At least in no fashion I used it in.
-
Do you have some other ideas for this? Private message me as to not reveal them to everyone.
Well, not really, I was actually hoping you had some ideas yourself. :D
-
I think I may know... I'm gonna try it... i doubt it though.
-
I think I may know... I'm gonna try it... i doubt it though.
Did you work it out?
This is very interesting... i'm guessing from the "some were not born" that its got something to do with something that happened a while ago... Not sure if i fall into this category :P
-
I probably wasn't born. And no I didn't get it.
-
it doesn't appear in the list of available achievements for me.
its showing 13 available 6 of which i have.
the remaining are
startup hecto.
startup kilo
one month
one year
photographer
which only totals 11.
no mention of the code.
-
You have to click on Global achievement stats at the top of the achievement screen
-
Yup its there. I got it after a hint and abit of researching...
-
Lol what was the hint? I don't want the answer just something to point me in the right direction
-
oh THAT code (and yes i do remember it from my childhood)
got the achievement now :)
-
Lol what was the hint? I don't want the answer just something to point me in the right direction
The topic has been deleted, i'll send you the hint in a PM if you like (don't wanna spoil it). It's pretty much a giveaway tho...
-
Thanks for not spoiling it. I'm having a hard time coming up with a hint that doesn't give it all way too. :)
-
it was the first thing i thought of when i saw it listed in the global achievements rofl. i came on here after it popped up and saw this thread. that was an awesome surprise. im surprised i still remember that i was only a few years old but its imprinted in my brain forever haha. Thanks for that easter egg devs!
-
Just been tearing my hair out trying to think WHAT CODE?!
Then I took a break and went to play some Playstation.
(and now, after nearly 8 hours of brain-ache, I can finally goto sleep to get up for work in 20 mins...)
-
Crazy how hard it is to figure this out,
On the internet I can't find it!
Never gonna play this again, EVER!!!
Till I can find this stupid, crazy,
Retarded code!
A person with no life could only figure this out.

The Achievement
lol, the quotes

Here's a hint for you, if you're really stuck:
(Highlight the area below with yr mouse to read)
Remember that Universe Sandbox is a *game*, not just some cool sim software, so with that in mind you could expect the code to be game-related.
If that doesn't help, a code for games, then think about the Achievement description:
Some will remember it, some were yet to be born (or something).
This line removed by Dan because it was too much help.
---
Must say though, that as game codes go, it's obscure enough to send you back and forth in all of the 4 ABsolutle directions.
;)
-
What? My hint?
You're pretty much giving it away for people with that tbh... Especially now you've said it was a hint :P (I didn't notice at first lol...)
-

''Some will know from their childhood; some were not born yet''
Wtf
Looks like
"The cow goes: Shazoo!" (c) :)
-
no that must be deleted now or everyone will explode
-
I got it! Yay!
Spoiler-ish
The name says all. All that haven't got it are overthinking.
^^^Highlight if you want to see it
-
i got it.yay!
-
RAWR! I need a hint.
also does it have somethiing to do with James Haught's "Code of the universe"? 'cause that came out in 1988
???
-
No... it's a game, not a space or astronomy reference. :)
-
Universe Sandbox is a game. Try thinking game codes.
-
I worked this one out as soon as i saw it ;D
hm... i'm not good with hints... uhmm... I don't want to give too much away
but think "old school game codes"
-
-removed by Dan-

@supersheep13
Yep! - Try it and find out. :)
-
This was brilliant. Reminds me of an IGN image I saw today. It showed 8-bit small Mario, Link, and Sonic the Hedgehog. And below it said, "If she doesn't know who any of these are, she's too young for you, bro." Was great.
-
If you message me on Steam, I will be more than glad to help with The Code.
-
NOT a good idea to post your email on a forum Cruril, I advise you take it down. It's better to have someone PM you.

Ok, thanks. Just wanna help!

I just had to register and respond to this one, after trying to figure out this code ever since I bought Universe Sandbox a few days ago on steam (I am a new player). I finally just a few moments ago figured it out, and boy did it surprise me how it was so complex at first but once I got it I was like "Oh yeah, I get it now." lol.
I have to admit that achievement had me stumped until I finally got it, I only wish more of them were as well thought out as that, cheers on that one Dan, also I am really enjoying the game and not regretting my purchase one bit; this was the best $10.00 Dollars I have ever spent.
P.S: I am free to help anyone with the achievement aswell when ever you can catch me online, just P.M me either here or through steam (SGElite23), know this though before sending me a message, I won't right out give the answer away because it kills the point of the achievement, just so you know before you write thinking I will give the answer and then I don't.
-
Just got it! The hints helped, took a bit of researching tho, thanks guys! :D
-
Oh yes i got it. I heard a someone say a specific word that started with "K" and I instantly remembered.
-
HINT/SPOILERS
A BIG hint to this is a song by Deftones. The song isn't exactly correct with it, but if you see it, you'll realize what it is. (Hopefully :P)
-
Lol, it was the first "Code" that came to my mind. :P It's THE CODE... the one everyone grew up mashing... at least in my generation :P
Great achieve :)
-
cracking little achievement!
I'm a bit young to remember it from experience but a bit of research and a nice tip from jgold98 put me on the trail, found it pretty quick but it took me longer to figure out what to do with it once i found it!
nice one and great program!
Cheers!
-
Trying to speak vaguely 30
-
Haha, when you mentioned "game" I instantly figured it out! It all makes sense! Man, I feel stupid. How could I not remember the most memorable thing from my childhood?
-
Japan is a hint.
Note: Searching that wont make it come up, i tested it. (hopefully)
-
I got the achievement.
the code is a 'Cheat Code'
^^ Highlight the words above to view a hint ^^
-
THAT IS NOT HINT!!!!!!!!!!11 >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
I got the achievement.
^^ Highlight the words above to view a hint ^^
Dan must've changed it...
-
God dang it, even though this Code wasn't a part of my childhood it's still was the first thing I thought of, but because I don't freaking remember it, I didn't do the thing correctly and thought I was wrong for 4 hours.
Glad to be done with it now =)
-
[Removed by Dan because it gives away the answer]
-
I have lots of two cents... check these. And talking about cents, I get mine in arcs, and to get to the end of the rainbow the correct pace is two, two, one one, one one followed by the first of both billion arcs.
Why? Because a code is a bunch of stuff, unlike star stuff, has no mass, only meaning, might be a letter a number or simply a direction. Maybe is a combination of these.
Game cheats are codes and marshmallow roasted in the fire is DELICIOUS! To eat you need to go north, south, east and west, then finally go short for barium.
Three one four one five nine two six five helps every simulation... but to unlock this, you'll need to move like I said.
Does that help anyone? :P
-
i got it YAY. i was over thinking it way to much. The code from your childhood! GAME.
i know a way to give a hint without giving it away.
-
lol yeah. Afterward I read what I wrote, and I was like... woot! Too much. lol
-
XD i tried to remember, but failed and had to search it up.
there was NO WAY i would have know about that... reference
-
what reference? lol
-
all the active members are too young
(including me)
-
all the active members are too young
(including me)
I have only 15 years (note to slef: change this to 15 in 27/02)
-
Maybe all the Active Members are too Young -
However - I never got it - never had any Codes in MY Childhood - but trhen I did not really have Childhood Friends.
Two Problems - withour being able to Guess -
1) Is is something only known to a particular Generation - I am nearly 64 Years Old.
2) Is it something in Childhood which MAYBE was NOT the case in England - I was Born and Grew Up in England.
-
OH OH OH
After thinking for twenty seconds I got it!
-
YAY I GOT IT :D
[Removed by Dan because it gives away the answer]
Hm, and The Awnser achievment?
-
Ahahahaha :D
I feel accomplished.
I actually was in the category "wasn't born yet" but I still got it :P
"The Answer" is pretty easy too, if you got this one I'm sure you'll get The Answer.
-
Ahahahaha :D

I was in 'wasn't born yet' too :P
Hm, I'll think on it later...

Wow....I can't believe I didn't see that. As soon as I saw the icon is a button it all clicked! Thank you so much, I've been working on this one for months! :o
-

A person with no life could only figure this out.
The answer lies here.
I was in the "not born yet" category.
The quote above is quite the puzzle.
But I assure you if you can solve it, you can figure out the code.
...
...
Lol
-
So, not going to lie. I just bought the game a few hours, looked through the achievements, and saw this one.
I think it took me less than 30 seconds to work it out. So if anyone needs me, I'll just be over here. Feeling old.
-
Omg this code was driving me crazy but i finally found it out how could i have not thought of it
Man i loved Xxxxxx ;)
Edit by Dan: Removed the overt clue.
-
"1986 Japan" is a hint.
Note: Searching that wont make it come up, i tested it. (hopefully)
Your hint helped, ;D. The "code" works on the standalone version as well as the steam version. XD
-

Shhhhh!
Edit by Dan: Removed the overt clue from the quote.
-
That was amazing! I tried the right code, but messed the last two characters up and thought it is not the answer. Then tried all doom / hl codes I can remember. Then I saw @k@ hint and tried one more time, but with right characters at this time.
I messed this up all my childhood, it was easier to remember by alphabetic order, than reverse.
Definitely want more of such achievements. It's easy, don't try to look up for it.
-
Kanaev you can edit your post by going to the top left part of your post and clicking edit.
Deleted mine, and no need to post about it again! Just P.M. me a message :P
Also it doesn't pop up for everyone, it's only because you were trying to get the answer that my results popped up, as Google takes what you last searched and uses that as a filter. For me, not a single clue popped up.
-
If you are still searching, and have, without any help, searched the hints that were given. Search some recent media/internet/fashion news. If I'm not mistaken some sort of code was recently discussed. Like really recently.
-
I'm only in my twenties, got the game recently and figured this out easily "The Code" should be hint enough, because i'm certain it was the first cheat code.
-
I think i know it dose it have to do with the nes >:)
