Ideas Contest: There should be more Steam Achivments!

Post by Durabys »

Okay everyone. Here is my idea. Anyone who wants to post in this thread please post an idea for an achievement that should be in the vanilla game (no mod that adds achievements). I start, please use a similar format:

Idea: Opposite to Lazy Bastard Achievement, build X items by hand.
"Doing things by myself":
Level 1 (make 10000 items by hand),
Level 2 (make 100000 items by hand),
Level 3 (make 1000000 items by hand),
Level 4 (make 10000000 items by hand),
Level eXtreme (finish the game with only using assemblers, silo's, refineries and chemical plants for things that cannot be crafted in your hand like liquids for example).

Achievements that would incentivize hand-crafting won't be added. That would be against spirit of the game, I am sorry.

What about this:

Idea: Maximum speed Assembler ever. Create a setup that makes items at the fastest speed possible in the game (vanilla or modded).

Most of the achievements in the game can be collected by simply playing the game or by making restrictions, e.g. crafting no more than 111 items or not building requester chests / laser turrets / solar panels.
I don't see how "build an AM3, put speed modules in it and surround it with as many beacons as you can" is a viable achievement.

The same way I don't think that making 20000 amount of iron is an achievement at all. Your point? I wanted to make achievements that are at least funny or interesting to do. :)

Mr Green
Finish the game with a maximum total Pollution of X and a maximum of Y killed trees and not provoking any attack by pollution.

Explorer
Uncover more than X chunks on a single map.

Well calculated
Have an assembler running for 1h nonstop.

Slave army
Have 200 construction robots working from your personal roboport.

I like trains
Kill 10 aliens with an automatic train driving over them.

Take my trash
Burn 100 wooden items in a train/car/tank (not wood itself).

What else should I do with it?
All your trains burnt 5000 raw wood (combined).

Not again
Destroy 10 power poles by impact.

[0.15]
I want MORE
Research X levels of endless research

Glowing in the dark
Produce X [energy] by nuclear power

(Solaris needs to change definition)

Some more variety would be fun. Other suggestions:

Pacifist: Beat the game without researching any weapon upgrade technologies
Something Green This Way Comes: Encounter a Behemoth Biter
Sandbagger: Play 100 hours without launching a rocket
Forget Something?: Launch a rocket without putting anything in it
Cheaper in Bulk: Launch 10 rockets
Now Hiring: Orbital Traffic Controller: Launch 100 rockets

I would already five of those in that case. But very good ideas. :)
