How to unlock the While You Were Away achievement in Slime Rancher - Definitive Guide

The Ranch is the area where you start in, It has the upgrades machine, your house etc

Just stay outside of this area (Past the archway that takes you to the Dry Reef) for at least 24 minutes then come back

I believe you actually have to walk onto the property. I did this last night and went back inside my ranch using a teleporter (not the emergency one, one of the gordo ones) and the achievement didn't pop.

Hmm that's weird~ I got the achievement after spending more than 24 minutes outside and coming back through one of the one-way teleporters

Just want to add that the cheeve pops after you return to the ranch. I didnt realize that, so i stayed gone 2 days waiting for it to pop. LOL. Then it occurred to me... go home

Wait, it actually has to be 24 real-life minutes? The achievement description suggests 24 in-game hours.
Edit: Oh... An in-game hour probably takes one real life minute doesn't it?

@Fristi61, Yeah, One in-game hour takes around a minute.

Also +1 for the guide, writting this comment as I use this method and I hit 32K by 4PM on Day 3. Could easily earn more if you bought additional areas and kept running around but it's not necessary. Cheers!

All you have to do is stay away from the Ranch for 24 In-Game hours (24 minutes) and this achievement is yours! I would suggest that you start these 24 minutes just before 6 AM, and get Up All Night at the same time. Simply don't return to the Ranch until after Up All Night pops and you'll get this achievement too!

Here's my video for all achievements if you'd prefer. Skip to 6:08 for While You Were Away.

Leave your Ranch and check what time you left and don't return for 24 hours. AFKing is the easiest way to pass time.

Just stay outside the ranch for at least 24 minutes then come back and you will unlock it.

You definitely need to return on foot. We leave through the farm gate and return through it again, 24 hours later.
Doesn't work via teleport.

The most interesting thing is that if you leave the farm at 20:00 and return the next day at 21:00, the achievement will not open. If you log out at 21:30 and log in again 4 hours later ( after 24x ), the achievement will unlock! We draw our own conclusions)))
