[0.13 - 0.14] Updating can be used to abuse achievements

[Overene]

I just figured out that switching between 0.13 and 0.14 can be potentially used to abuse the achievements system. By this, I mean that when I updated to 0.14, I got a bunch of steam achievements that I got from my modded save and in theory, constantly switching between 0.13 and 0.14 could be used to easily get every achievement in the game on steam.

Achievements are there mainly to add fun and challenge for the player.
If you find a way to cheat to get achievements (Which can be easily done by just editing the base game definitions for example) you are welcome, but what is the point?
I don't consider this a bug.

Well, I mean, even if this isn't really cheating, it was rather annoying to have about 10 achievements unlocked that I'll never be able to unlock legitimately anymore.

Yes please, I would like to have a solution to that too. I just got all the production achievements because described problem (-> update from 1.0 to 1.1) happened to me unintentionally, but was very much looking forward to get them deservedly with actual efforts. Now I won't even know when I actually would reach that achievement, because there is no more notification. Also the competition between me and my friend feels lost in that regard.

There's a button in game to reset your achievements. It didn't exist back when this thread was made.
