New Achievement Ideas

[Earendel]

Please post your achievment ideas here. I will join other achievement ideas into this.
You can/should lookup older threads: viewtopic.php?f=80&t=28403 Ideas around Archievements (New and Old) -- ßilk


Here are some play style restrictions or settings that I've enjoyed playing with. This was before achievements were a thing but I think they'd make good achievements because they made for interesting games with and more replay ability.

Tree Hugger:
Complete the game without causing the destruction of any non-dead trees.

Solar Furnace:
Complete the game without crafting any steam engines, or non-electric furnaces. (Hard)

Pew Pew:
Complete the game on a map with a medium or smaller starting area, very high frequency enemy bases, and aggressive enemies without firing a single bullet, rocket, grenade, flame, or mine (including turrets). Laser turrets, Personal Laser defence, Distractor & Destroyer capsules are OK.

Using iron chests instead of wooden chests would be difficult but not impossible.

I don't know how you could play this game without using small power poles. In order to get medium electic poles you need steel and green science. This is technically possible, but I think this is too hard to be a good achievement.

Solar Furnace:
Complete the game without crafting any steam engines, or non-electric furnaces. (Hard)

How would you get the technology to unlock solar panels without using a steam engine to supply the power?

I made a new list: viewtopic.php?f=80&t=28403 Ideas around Archievements (New and Old)

Hey all,

just got into the game and its amazing. Just one thing: we have achievements for building, researching, comitting suicide with trains, burn trees, sending fish to the moon and whatever.

However, we dont have achievements for killing biters. I would like to see some achievements for that:

- First blood: Kill 100 Biters

- Massacre: Kill 100.000 Biters

- Genocide: Kill 1.000.000 Biters

- Drive-By: Kill a biter with a moving vehicle (driven by the player).

and last but not least:

- Eaten alive: Get killed by biters.

We could also divide between kills made by turrets and towers and kills made by the player.

I know and agree with you if you say that there are more important things to add than more achievements, but I think its a good "sidedeal" for dev's if they are bored sometimes.

What do you guys think about the mentioned ideas?

greetz,
Muh macht die Kuh


/edit: and sry if I posted in the wrong sub-forum or if there is a discussion about this topic already, its my first visit here.

Don't make/use underground belt

extra: no underground pipe ...

all above ground / keep it up

[mophydeen]

Don't use long inserters.

[mophydeen]

No chests, No wooden, no iron, no steel, no requester, no provider, no storage, no active, NO CHESTS

Will be fun to keep every thing even more balanced.

normally chest can buffer, without it it's more difficult.

BONUS: What about storage tanks???

[Zeblote]

Storage tanks are needed to store the useless heavy/light oil until you research oil cracking, so playing without them wouldn't be possible

[5thHorseman]

That sounds ghastly, and not just because it ruins the best part of the game - robots

[Nexela]

You can run any fluid into a steam engine to get rid of it. *bonus* you can run it through a boiler first and you will get energy from it

So bonus points to no storage tanks!

Huh, that's interesting... but why? I'd expect a boiler to explode if you put oil in it.

You forgot about Fuel Cubes. Have fun storing them tho.

[Deadly-Bagel]

Ground Embargo: Do not lay a single belt.

I intend to do a pure logistic run come 0.15 =D because now that I build my factory around a central belt channel it's all a bit samey and I only need about a hundred logistics bots (until I walk in and they try to deliver 500 belts, 250 miners, 400 rails, and 50 train signals, and collect 1,000 wood).
