Achievements in multi-player

Post by nasika »

Hi, All.

When I play multi-player game in public server, some achievements was unlocked.

I think that this behavior is Bug.
Achievement should be separated by single and multi.

What was this behavior that is intended? Or a bug?

Kinda regards,

Thanks for the report,
And welcome to the forum :)

At the moment we don't seperate single player and multiplayer achievements, so this isn't a bug

OK.

I understood that this behavior is intended now.

But, I think the achievements can be cleared too easily in this state.
If a player wish, he only join in some public server that achievements are already unlocked.
Conversely, in case that a player does not wish, he will sad.

So there is no sense to the presence of the achievements now.

Could you please consider this issue?

Sincerely.

Search is my friend. With it, I shall not want. Yea though I am in the valley of the easy achievement, I shall not post a new thread about multiplayer "There Is No Spoon" (and other achievements) being achieved in MP-- simply by saving a game immediately before winning in MP, and loading it endlessly to give away the achievement.

is there a way to cancel a specific achievement so that I can try to get it again in single player? maybe in some ini/cfg/whatever file?

if use steam then your achieved achievements are stored on steam an you will have to use steam achievement manager to manually delete the entry from the steam database. This is not entirely in line with steam ToC so there is a small risk of ban .... but I did it 3 times to remove achievements I got when I joined Arumbas or Steejos massive MP games ... and I guess they wont punish people for undoing their achievements :D :D ... but they will for locking them in without actually doing it :D

If you dont use steam version of the game then just delete the achievements.dat and achievements-modded.dat from the Factorio folder...
this does not work on steam because steam will automatically recreate the files with the achievements it thinks you already did unless you use the program I mentioned above
