How to unlock the Magnets achievement in Stranded Deep - Definitive Guide

(Edit: This just unlocked for me... and I used the compass A LOT. I hope you all get so lucky. For the console version, there was some debate about the gyrocopter having something to do with achievement. I never flew it. I built it but never flew it. MAYBE that had something to do with it)

Hope you read this before you get started...
Don't use a compass at all, ever, not once, and finish the game (beating the 3 bosses and fixing the airplane)

I checked this out, the way to get the achievement is NOT to use the COMPASS at all when you play the game to the end... Though there is no end game, but it is considered done when you kill the 3 main sea monsters :)

That is what I am saying. I used my compass the entire time. All the way up to building the airplane.
What I didn't use was the gyrocopter, which as a compass built in.

Can't speak for it bugging, because we didn't use any compasses at all and didn't build the gyrocopter.

But more critically, my partner did NOT get this achievement, or the other "complete the game" achievement. Only I got them as host, and only I was able to start the plane to escape.

does it matter if you use the cartographer?

I don't know. I did everything in one run in survival mode only.
Hopefully, someone else can offer some input.

This relates directly to the compass. Including the Gyrocopter compass.
You can pick up a compass just don't look at it's display. Cartographer is fine.
Best bet is to screenshot your world and use the sun and moon to navigate

Figured out a good tip about 35 hours in. If you save on or near an island with the sleeping bag, and back out to the Cartographer, it'll show what current island you are on in red. This whole time I thought the starting island was red because it was the starting island, not just because it was my current location. So with this it'll be easier to figure out where you are without the compass.

Still probably a good idea to leave markings to lead back to your home island or towards the bosses or aircraft carrier though. I've been making wook platform arrows with a platform and a wedge, and then throwing a spear into them for good measure so it points towards home. Use two spears for boss locations.

I just unlocked this despite using the Compass often and also being in Creative mode! I also built the Gyrocopter but didn't fly it. Seems like you don't need to play Survival mode at all?
