[13.20] [pending] Some achievements cannot be earned on Steam

Post by G.A.T.E »

Hi

First, I started new game without any mods and launced satellite.
then I added some mods(OrbitalIonCannon,SatelliteUplinkStation,and more) and continued game.
and finaly I got "Tech maniac" "Circuit veteran 3" "Computer age 3".
These three achievements are earned with mods, so These are not on Steam Cloud, of course.

Now I started another game without mods,
but these three achievements are already earned on In-Game achievement list.

I tryed to get "Tech maniac" on Steam but couldnot get it, even I complete all researchs again.

I noticed this situation at 13.16 or 13.17...maybe.
It still remain at 13.20.


I am sorry that I am not good at english and hope that my words goes as well.

I see the problem,

Since you have already earned the achievements in game,
You cannot then earn them again, to unlock them on steam

It would be nice if we could earn the achievements over in game. As in earn them in every playthrough. I like to think of some of them as milestones for how fast I'm expanding.

Deleting achievements.dat will will remove all of your achievements. When you load the game with steam them, only those already acknowledged by steam will be loaded, and you can re-earn the rest.

Looks like I have sidestepped a problem by resolving to earn all achievements before modding =D
Money might be the root of all evil, but ignorance is the heart.
