Achievement Unlocker Settings

You'll find these options under Settings → Achievement Unlocker.

Idle While Unlocking

Keep the game running in the background while achievements are being unlocked

When enabled, SGI will idle the current game during the unlocking process, increasing its playtime alongside the achievements. This makes the activity look more consistent with natural gameplay.

Run Multiple Games At Once

Work through several queued games concurrently instead of one at a time (Pro Casual tier)

When enabled, games in the Achievement Unlocker queue are processed concurrently instead of one at a time, each with its own independent unlock schedule. Casual subscribers can run up to 3 games at once; Gamer subscribers can run up to 32, both within the combined limit of 32 games idling at once shared with every other idling feature (see Idling).

Skip Hidden Achievements

Skip achievements that the game developer has marked as hidden

Hidden achievements don't reveal their unlock conditions in Steam. Enable this if you prefer to discover and unlock these naturally yourself, while still automating the rest.

Only Unlock During A Schedule

Restrict achievement unlocking to a specific time window

When enabled, SGI will only unlock achievements while inside your scheduled time range. Outside of those hours, the Achievement Unlocker continues running but pauses unlocking until the window opens again.

For example, setting a range of 09:00 to 17:00 means SGI will only unlock achievements during business hours and wait overnight without stopping.

Unlock Interval

Set how long SGI waits between unlocking each achievement (in minutes)

You specify a minimum and maximum range. After unlocking an achievement, SGI picks a random wait time within that range before unlocking the next one. This randomization makes the unlock pattern look more natural.

For example, with a range of 60 to 180 minutes, SGI will wait between 1 and 3 hours between each unlock.

  • Minimum value: 1 minute
  • Maximum value: 2880 minutes (48 hours)

Per-achievement delays set in the Custom Order page override this global interval for individual achievements.

Start Another Task When Done

Automatically start another feature once the Achievement Unlocker queue is empty

Enable the checkbox and choose either Card Farming or Auto-Idle from the dropdown to have it start automatically once every queued game has finished unlocking.
