Creator
Difficulty	Easy/Medium
Type	Spawning A

This achievement involves spawning 5000 props.

How-to

This achievement is Easy and Medium at the same time, because its requirement is easy to do, and because this achievement is cumulative, so patience is required to obtain. Also Spawning 5000 props requires times, since spawining too much props causes to slow down the server or the game. Please note that in order to get the achievement, you have to spawn the exact same prop 5000 times, as each prop has its own counter.

To do it

• 1.Press and Hold the menu key (which is Q by default)
• 2.Select any prop you want to spawn.
• 3.Spawn any prop 5000 times

Tips

• Don't forget to remove props you spawn, too many props existing in-world at once will slow or crash your game.
  • You can remove props with the Tool Gun in "remover" mode (and also work toward the Destroyer achievement) or you can spam the Z key to undo props in reverse spawn order (undone props still count toward this achievement.)
• The more complex and detailed a prop and the more complicated its physics properties, the more it'll slow your game. Spawn simple low-polygon props to reduce lag.
• Avoid lag by loading a map with bottomless pits, such as Half-Life 2's Citadel levels. Then noclip to a spot from where you can spawn props to fall directly into the bottomless pit. The props will disappear as quickly as you can spawn them, and they'll still count toward the achievement.

Trivia

• Its icon represents a traffic cone, which is one of the most used props of the game.
• It might also reference the cone's use, which is to block a road while constructions (or creations) are done.
