What do you think about disabling the player's achievement.
Sometimes we have to write/use mods that unlawfully open the research or illegally get any items. I would like to turn off achievements at such moments. You can also add inclusion of achievements.

The game currently has no such system to disable achievements outside of the "console command used" flag. So, it's currently not possible to do that. I might look into adding support but it will be a while.

Mod-supplied console commands don't disable achievements, is this intentional?

Yes. Normal game console commands don't disable achievements either. When you do lua console commands is the only time it does.

... and if I want something to disable achievements on use I can expose it as a remote call so the player has to e.g. `/c remote.call('mycheats','reseed_iron',true)`. Right.

Shouldn't it be simple to set that "console command used" flag from within LUA? Sounds like a trivial API call to add.

Do you add this feature to the game?

No.

I think it would be useful. I have a creative mode test map where I try out stuff, but that immediately unlocks production achievements. Just having another mod that disables achievement tracking would be great
