Easy "Alien Archaeologist" Achievement

In order to "restore" a fossil you need to put it in and all other pieces of that same fossil (if it is a medium or large size fossil) in a display case, which will then make it so that display case permanently has that fossil inside of it and can no longer have any pieces taken out even if you break the case.

Easy "Bug Free" Achievement

There is a bug with the bug free achievement. Double check the collection screen to make sure you've collected all 42 bugs. If you've got the full collection drop the bugs and pick them all back up. This should fix the problem.

Upgrade Modules

When upgrading your ship, you should bring the needed variety of Upgrade Modules to Penguin Pete at the Outpost's Shipyard. When the player has enough Upgrade Modules in their stock, the (?) pursuit marker will show over Penguin Pete's head. Tossing the Upgrade Modules out of the player's stock will not get rid of the (?) mission marker. Merely drop the Upgrade Modules from your stock at a safe range, and after that talk with Penguin Pete to upgrade your ship. You can then gather your dropped Upgrade Modules and repeat the procedure for all subsequent ship upgrades. (version 1.0.5)

Upgrade ship without consuming Upgrade Modules (works in 1.0.5)

When upgrading your ship, you must bring the necessary number of Upgrade Modules to Penguin Pete at the Outpost's Shipyard. When the player has enough Upgrade Modules in their inventory, the (?) quest marker will display over Penguin Pete's head. However, throwing the Upgrade Modules out of the player's inventory will not remove the (?) quest marker. Simply drop the Upgrade Modules out of your inventory at a safe distance, and then talk to Penguin Pete to upgrade your ship. You can then collect your dropped Upgrade Modules and repeat the process for all subsequent ship upgrades.
