Tech Maniac Achievement Not Triggering

Post by Heimdall »

Hey All,
Playing Factorio through Steam (0.16.x pre-release) and made a solid attempt to get the Tech Maniac achievement (research all technologies). I had previously tried on 0.15.x, but realized that simply researching one instance of each tech was insufficient - you have to get Space Science Packs from rocket launches and research all the way to the infinites. I also saw that as of 0.15.11 (https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... ion_01511/) you shouldn't need to do the first instance of infinite research, just up to them.

Well, I completed the last non-infinite version of every research option (including the new ones for Artillery), and didn't get Tech Maniac. I've gotten other achievements along the way in this save-game, so I don't think that I accidentally did a console command to disable achievements (although I did catch my kids messing with my open game while I stepped away for a minute). But finding the resources and spending real-world time to launch another 30+ rockets to test the infinite researches isn't my idea of fun.

Hoping someone has some insight. Thanks!

For posterity, and anyone else that had this issue - the achievement appeared when I:
  • 1. Saved and closed the game
  • 2. Opened it again later
Mystery solved, although that seems like a bug.
