Hello,

Yesterday I joined a random multilayer game on the server list and during the loading the game gave me some achievements such as; (total 12)

-Circuit veteran 3
-Iron throne 3
-Computer age 3
-Mass production 1

So it turned out I joined the most developed factory around there, since I've seen that map on twitch.tv as well.
I left the game 1 minute later because it was nothing for me.
But wtf are those achievements? this is really annoying since I can't delete steam achievements and now the game thinks I have achieved them, which is not of course...

So here is my bug report: steam achievements is still activated when joining multilayer games, other than that there is no control when to enable or disable your steam achievements.

In general I don't care about achievements, I only care about the achievements for games I like to play, since it shows my certain milestones which is fun...which is why achievements are there for games in the first place.
First of all it ruined a lot of fun in this part because I have earned them without doing anything and second of all I know what the achievements are now which I rather keep unknown for myself to be surprised for what I have achieved.

Can anyone relate to this problem?

That's by design, if you don't want achievements don't join other peoples public games.

That's by design? do you have any idea what you are talking about?
You should check a doctor with that logic of yours LOL (in my opinion of course ;) , you could tell me in the first place not to join one before I connect public games.

A simple fix is to disable achievements until you have played at least 50% of the game. Some easy achievements like "watch your step" could be available to everyone.

i play online with a packaged version of the game (downloaded from factorio.com) so i can get steam achievements in single player on my own.
you still get in game non-steam achievements which is fun.
