PeakAchiever

Pin the badges you want to chase, and see during your run which ones you can still earn.

• Pin from the pause menu. Open the badges page of the pause menu and click a badge you have not earned yet: a yellow pin marks it, and the badge's tooltip says whether a click pins or unpins it. Works in the airport too, so you can pick your targets before take-off.
• Track in the top-right corner. During a run, each pinned badge shows its icon, name and condition, taken from the game in your language.
  • A yellow bar and current / total for badges with a counter. LIFETIME marks counters the game keeps across all runs (meals cooked, height climbed...).
  • "Holding so far" for clean-run badges (no fall damage, no packaged food...) still intact.
  • A green check once earned.
  • A red cross, with the reason, once the badge can no longer be earned this run: its biome is not on this map or is behind you, or the clean-run condition broke.
• Forbidden items marked in the inventory. While a pinned Naturalist or Leave No Trace badge is still holding, a red cross sits in the bottom-right corner of every hotbar slot holding an item that would break it (packaged food; pitons, rope spools, the rope cannon, the chain launcher and other placeable objects). The backpack slot shows a yellow warning if something forbidden is inside, and the opened backpack shows the cross on that item. The marks go away once the badge is earned or broken.
• Pins persist. They are saved in the config. At the start of the next run, badges earned are unpinned and failed ones are doable again.
• Secret badges keep their ??? until earned. The tracker hides while the pause menu is open.
• Client-side only: other players do not need the mod.

Installation

Requires BepInExPack for PEAK.

• With a mod manager (Thunderstore Mod Manager, r2modman, Gale): install PeakAchiever into your PEAK profile and launch the game from the manager.
• By hand: copy Altaks.PeakAchiever.dll into BepInEx/plugins/ of your PEAK BepInEx install.

Tested with PEAK 2.4.c. If a game update breaks the mod, the error shows in BepInEx/LogOutput.log.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/Altaks.PeakAchiever.cfg, section [Tracker]:

Key	Default	Meaning
ToggleKey	F6	Shows or hides the tracker during a run.
MaxPinnedBadges	5	How many badges can be pinned at once (1 to 12).
PinnedBadges	empty	The pins, edited from the pause menu.

How badges are judged

Every rule comes from the game's own code and scene data (game version 2.4.c). When nothing in the game can rule a badge out, the tracker never shows a red cross for it.

Kind	Badges	Red cross when
Run counter	Knot Tying, Clutch, Plunderer, First Aid, Jester, Archery, Foraging, Mycology, Advanced Mycology, Gourmand	never
Lifetime counter	Cooking, Happy Camper, Bouldering, Toxicology, Ascender, Bookworm, Calcium Intake	never
Clean run	Balloon, Naturalist, Survivalist, Leave No Trace, Lone Wolf, Speed Climber	the condition breaks
Clean biome	Cool Cucumber, Bundled Up, Tread Lightly, Medieval History	the biome is not on the map, or the condition breaks
Area reached	Beachcomber, Trailblazer, Alpinist, Volcanology, Nomad, Forestry, Wanderer	the biome is not on the map
Found in a biome	Astronomy, Megaentomology, Daredevil (Mesa); Web Security (Roots); Bellringer (Gloom); Animal Serenading (Alpine or Mesa); Arborist (Tropics or Roots)	none of those biomes is on the map, or all are behind you
Anywhere	every other badge	never

If an achievement-blocking mode is active for the run, the tracker says so above the cards.

Development

Built from the PEAK BepInEx template (NuGet PEAKModding.BepInExTemplate). Copy Config.Build.user.props.template to Config.Build.user.props and point it at your game and BepInEx folders; a Debug build then copies the plugin there.

dotnet build          # builds and deploys the plugin
dotnet test           # unit tests; needs the game installed, they load its assemblies
dotnet build -c Release   # Thunderstore package in ./artifacts/thunderstore/
