Rail world disables achievements

[feildmaster]

With the recent change of Exploitable Achievement Conditions being "fixed" in 0.16.3, achievements get disabled in rail worlds.

I wont go into the arguments about "how easy is too easy"... in this post anyway. I'm just going to say that "Rail Worlds" should be considered fair game for getting the achievement.

I agree , considering railworlds are a preset.

Thanks for the report however we've never said every one of the presets would let you unlock all achievements. Just like the expensive mode doesn't let you do the no-hand-crafting achievement.

Railworld is a preset made by the developers , anything lower than normal(for ores or cliff water etc) should be ok if it is a preset that just makes sense , it obviously doesnt make sense the expensive mode let you do the no-hand-crafting achievement , that's a completely different story.

The rail world preset disabled biter expansion, so that could be seen as a significant advantage for some of the achievements.

The condition to disable the achievement is "lower amount of initial difficulty," not the expansion itself. You can basically raise the difficulty on railworlds, to enable the achievement, but which ones do you need to set? Who knows.

And is it any easier to get the achievement in rail worlds? Not really

and just because I should, there's been a heated discussion between people on discord before I even attempted to argue my point. Some lovely remarks:

I've honestly just lost any respect I had for the team.

The very nature of a railword implies large expansions, with the implication of it not being extrememly tedious to expand. It's similar to getting a difficult achievement while playing on easy mode in some other game. I can see valid arguments for both implimentations.

Two thoughts about this:

- With the addition of artillery, perhaps rail world can have biter expansion enabled?
- The dialog for a new game should warn about disabled achievements.
