[2.0.11] PC: Achievement "logistic network embargo" on Steam, but not in-game

[jeb54321]

1. Completed "logistic network embargo" achievement (standard settings, no mods).
2. Achievement showed up in Steam, but not in-game.
3. Expected to get achievement in game and Steam.
4. This is the first time tried in Space Age - haven't tried repeating yet.

I saw an issue of it "resetting" in-game, but that doesn't appear to be my issue.

Loving Space Age! Thanks!

I have exactly this same problem.
Probably Wube fast repair this bug, but it's good people talk about him.

Hi,

Tried the achievement again in Space Age yesterday, and again, it never popped.

But also, I realized that I DID have the achievement from Factorio 1.0 originally (still have it in Steam), so it did indeed revert.

So this might be a dupe of a previously reported issue after all. If so, sorry.

Sadly, it appears its actually getting worse, not better.

After this morning's update, the "Rush to Space" achievement has vanished from the game, as well as "Logistic network embargo".

Both are still there in Steam. They only disappeared from the game itself, and both had already been achieved before 2.0.

What's going on with the achievements? Are there new rules such they have to be repeated with 2.0???

Will there be any way to get them back? For example, Steam "understands" when Factorio updates an achievement - is there a trust relationship between Factorio and Steam such that it could be reciprocal?

Not really playing much now because the first order of business was to do the 40 hour "Express Delivery", but if the achievements are broken right now, that would be really frustrating.

BTW, there are also notes popping up on Reddit and Steam about missing achievements, e.g., https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... are_button

I get that crashes are a priority, but crashes can sometimes be edge cases (and even be recoverable), but achievement runs will always have to start from scratch, which can be really frustrating (especially after burning adrenaline for 40 hours).

Anyway, still "love" the game, its just been "misbehaving".

Thank you, mod, for linking 117048 back here.

I'm assuming this bug concerns all players who had the achievement before 2.0, at least haven't seen anyone say otherwise. But it is a little sad to hear even if i were to get the achievement now it would still not record it.

[Cerberus]

I got this bug too from loading an old save where I tried getting logistical network embargo achievement, the one I originally got my achievement from. And yes it disappears.
However, now I'm playing Space Age and got the achievement there, and it does stay.

So seems this bug only concerns getting it the "old way". If this helps.

Just FYI :

Achievements are stored, in a partially textual format in Factorio's folder, in achievements.dat for unmodded games and achievements-modded.dat for modded games. (See also mods adding new achievements.)

If you play with a different Factorio folder, these files will be different, and so will both lists of your achievements.

(Steam (and GoG ?) have yet another way to deal with achievements, so these won't always necessarily match.)

[jeb54321]

Good information, thanks @Cerberus!

It is true I had the achievement before Space Age came out, but I have repeated the achievement (twice) since 2.x came out and it has not reappeared since it vanished after buying S.A.

I certainly see that perhaps going from 1.x to 2.x might create a problem, but after I tried a new game from scratch in S.A., I'm still not getting it.

Is it possible that if I got the achievement in 1.x that if I roll back to 1.x I might see it there (because 1.x uses different files/folders)?

But even if that worked, is it the case I still can't get the achievement in 2.x even though I've completed the achievement in S.A. twice?

I'd by willing to try a work-around by twiddling with the files, but it would be great to get detailed instructions, lest I make the situation even worse.

(P.S. I use Steam, not GOG)

I now have a save where I can keep unlocking the achievement it unlocks but if i start a new game its locked again. very odd.

[NGMZero]

Logistic network embargo is completed (in space age), I got the achievement in steam. but it do not sync with other saves.
- I did have the achievement in base game
- then I re got it after space-age release (after logistic network embargo update were it pushed behind planet science)
if I load the save were I got it, it is still there.

it confused me because I thought I had mods enabled by accident.

[jeb54321]

Still not getting the achievement after conditions met. Still have it in Steam.

There was a mention above about different files/folders. Is there something I can do on my end to get this working?

Obviously, very achievement-driven here!

Jim

[Zaflis]

If it was file fault then other achievements would have broken too, but this was the only one. Maybe with the Space Age they changed some achievement ID or reference name and then elsewhere (like when saving) refer to the old one still? It's only speculation and i wouldn't know how the achievement system works.

Is there anyone who has this achievement registered ingame at unmodded, that still remains there after exiting and restarting the game?

I'm having the same issue of not achieving logistic network embargo with space age. I have the following unique conditions:

- I don't use steam. My game is directly downloaded and independently installed. No steam is installed on this PC
- I have never achieved any logistic network embargo before on this PC
- I play 1.0 and installed 2.0 directly

I'm very careful of not researching advance logistics, reach Gleba, and researched the Agricultural science pack, but nothing happened. The bage is showing that the achievement is still possible.
In this screenshot, you can see that the achivement is not achieved, but possible while I have explicitly a agricultural science pack on hand.

Having 1 in hand is not enough, you need to research some tech with them:

But make a save before research finishes! As mentioned in this thread the achievement is not very likely to stay in your game so you'll need that backup save later.

Same situation for me.

I got it the first time last August (both ingame and on Steam) before 2.0 came out.

After SA someone posted on reddit it was undone for them ingame so I checked mine and I noticed the achievement was sort of split in 2: on Steam it was done last August while in game it was undone.

My first SA play was to get it again ingame and I did, I saved right before triggering it - let's call this save A.
Steam retained the same achievement it had before (dated August).

Then I started another save - save B - and the other day I noticed I didn't have the achievement ingame anymore, while it was still there on Steam with the same date I got it the first time.

So I loaded save A, triggered the achievement again, but going back to save B made it so the achie was still undone, like it was per save and unlinked from Steam - I'm not using any mod.

My Steam achievement count is 64 while ingame (any save besides save A) it's 63.

[jeb54321]

I'm still seeing a lot of crashes being addressed in the practically daily patches, so I'm guessing this isn't a real big priority.

Please keep it in mind when things slow down though, okay?

So by "Finish research with any planetary science pack," it meant "Finish a research using any planetary science pack". I have the wrong impression that it's asking to research the science pack itself would be enough. The explanation does make sense though, thanks!

I thought the same first time.

There's also another achievement that requires to research a planet tech before unlocking yelllow and purple science on Nauvis. It's not enough to not build yellow nor purple, you must not research the science packs themselves, did that mistake first time as well

[jeb54321]

Okay, just to clarify...

1. Research agriculture science
2. Researched item in tech tree requiring 50 agricultural science packs
3. Achievement notification appears
4. Close Factorio then re-open: achievement not achieved (still in Steam)

At this point it sounds like some people have gotten it to stick, and others have not. Long time Factorio player, so I'm guessing its something particular to a given installation that affects some but not all.

Maybe next computer this will resolve with a fresh installation. Doesn't sound like this is consistently reproducible, so likely not fixable.
