Thanks for your answer. I found the solution. I deleted all my savegame + Cloud and the achievement unlocked during day 24.
Gigs, how did you delete the Cloud saves?
1) In your Steam Library, right-click on The Flame in the flood and select "Properties."
2) Click the "Updates" tab.
3) Uncheck "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for The Flame in the flood"
4) Click "Close."
Thanks! I will try this achievement again ;)
Thanks, this worked for me.
YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I finally got this achievement.
PREPARE YOUR (DOG'S) PACK
1. I stocked up on jerky (20), ash cakes (10), jars (5), rabbit pelts (5), and raft hardware (8). [Plan to find lumber and schematics early to get a rudder asap] and then died with those items in Aesop's pack.
THIS PART IS CRITICAL, DON'T SKIP IT
2. Disable cloud-saves in steam preferences (thanks Gigs for instructions)
3. Make a backup of the "Saves" folder (located in Users\MyName\AppData\Local\RiverGame for me)
4. Delete the file "Achievements.sav" in ...\SaveGames (I also deleted "Steam_autocloud.vdf but I don't think it was necessary based on others' experiences)
5. Set game to play in Beta-Public mode (I think it was right-click game in library; manage; preferences/settings?)
6. Shut down and restart Steam client (Might not be needed but why risk?)
TIME TO PLAY
7. I played conservatively, expecting to take ~30 days to get achievement. I don't recommend running the clock from base camp. Instead play normally and get a stable start before doing that. Create pouches from the rabbit pelts, upgrade raft with rudder and stove, and of course gather food and basic medical supplies. If you see snakes, just leave and go to another dock. Don't take risks of injury or animal-animal kills!
8. Once stable (around 5 days this run) I ran the clock by sleeping for about 6 days. Then I continued gathering supplies for a few days, and slept another 6 in the same way. Achievement popped on day 22.
***I heard if you sleep through midnight and miss the day-change it can set back the achievement 20-day clock, so I only slept until just before dawn every day. TWICE I screwed up and missed the day-change (even just barely), and my achievement popped at day (20+2). Missed two dawns -- added two days... proof enough for me. So watch those sunrises!
*** I ate jerky and used animal furs saved from a previous run, and never allowed an animal-animal kill. I read elsewhere you can eat all kinds of meat, even nightcrawlers or grubs, but I didn't test those out because they spoil or are lower nutrition anyhow.
*** I didn't have to travel very far down river with this strategy, so it never got seriously cold, and I didn't need any advanced clothing. I relied on having a stove as backup for cold weather but didn't need it after all.
***I hit about two docks from dawn to evening each day and slept 8-12 hours to JUST BEFORE DAWN. I never played at night due to low light (injury danger) and cold (exposure) risks.
***Fill your jars in the rain and then use fire/stoves/shelter to get dry and wait out the storms. Don't navigate on the river in a storm either, it's not worth the risk of crashing after all this careful work!
If something dumb happens just take the backup of your Saves folder you made and replace the working one so you can start another run without having to save up jerky, etc. all over again.
I tried for Vegetarian probably four times (sigh...) before I "got serious" and followed the cloud-save, achievement.sav, and beta-play instructions. Don't waste your time -- just take these steps, figure out your play strategy, stick to your method, and don't give up!
YOU CAN DO IT!
And Paleo Diet Will Be Easy To Get Afterwards If You Just Start Playing Normally Afterwards.
You Lose 1000 Hunger For The First 20 Days, Afterwards Start Hunting Rabbits/Wolves/Etc.
20 Cooked Meat *Should* Get You Close To Paleo.
Pro Tips
------------------
Definitely Don't Sleep Through Day Changes. However Sleeping 8 Hours A Day (Or More) Does Save You About 5 Hunger And Some Thirst. This Compounds Over The Course Of 20 Days To Save You A Few Jerky.
Catch Rain Water With Your Jar/Jars. Wow, It's Not Listed In The Effects But Each Drink From a Jar Gives You 1 Hunger.
- So Standing In The Rain Constantly Spamming Drink/Refill Will Get You About 5-10 Hunger Back For Free Each Rain Storm.
Apparently The Game Saves When You Land On An Island, So If You Hear Something Kill Something Else And Are Worried About It, Alt+F4. This "Should" Load You Back To When You Landed And You Can Just Leave To Go To Another Spot.
- Can't Confirm, I Haven't Tried This.
You Lose About 50 Hunger, ~65 Thirst, And ~65 Fatigue A Day. So Plan Accordingly
-------------------------------
Edit: Just Got Vegetarian Doing This, No Weird Save File Manipulation Required.
Spamming Jar Use And Rain Water Chugging, Really, Really Helped. I'm On Day 20 And I've Used 27/50 Jerky.
I Still Have 23 Left, So I'm Going For Paleo Diet Now. Still Haven't Left The First Camp I Stopped At.
--First Lucky Camp--
- It Had 1 Old Lumber, 14 Cat Tails, And a Flint. I Made A Campfire At The Entrance So When The Game Spawned Wolves I Didn't Have To Worry About Them.
- I Used The Rest Of The Cat Tails For Tinder To Relight The Fire After Each Rain, And If The Campfire Sleeping Reset Or Got Rid Of The Wolves, I Ran To The House That Was Here And Slept There To Pass Time
-------------------------------
Day 32, Traveled 7.1 Miles Total
Once I Started Traveling (Around Day 23) I Started Looking For 2 Things, Cat Tails And Saplings. Once I Had Enough For Snares And Spike Traps, Killed Some Stuff And Cooked The Meats.
Been Heading Downriver A Bit, Hunted 4 Rabbits, Killed 1 Wolf, Spear Trapped Two Boars,
Also Found A Bear Attacking 3 Wolves - Stole The Spoils Once The Bear Went Back To It's Cave.
15 Jerky Left, Still Chuggin Rainwater, Still Sleeping Through 2/3 Of Every Day At Fishing Shacks And Buses.
--------------------------------
Day 40
Paleo Diet Achieved. And Can Confirm "Under The Stars" Is Linked To Paleo Diet, Got Both On Day 40, And I Definitely Slept In Shelters.
Good Luck!
