[2.0.14] Nuclear Power achievement not triggering

[Kairos219]

Hey I have a weird achievement issue where I'm clearly producing all my power almost from nuclear power, but the achievement isn't triggering (see attached image)

I started with 4x40 steam engines for power (since torn down), threw down two solar panels for fun in between, and otherwise switched over to generating power with this nuclear setup, and the achievement never triggered in game or in Steam.

First big goal is 100% achievements so this is a bummer, once I get my factory a little more settled/later into the game I may play around with shutting off all other sources of power, disconnecting all power and reconnecting, but uncertain how to get the achievement to trigger at this point, my friend's worked fine apparently.

You need to produce a spent fuel cell to get the achievement now. In earlier version this was not necessary.

[Kairos219]

I thought the reactors produced spent fuel cells automatically? I have them going into a fuel reprocessor to turn them back into uranium-238, this still doesn't trigger the achievement as I've produced hundreds of these at this point, the factory has been running on nuclear for a few hours now.

[Kairos219]

Still hasn't triggered hours later, I think I read it triggered for some on Vulcanus by hooking up a Steam Turbine but unfortunately this didn't work for me, still producing nuclear power for the past 10+ hours on Nauvis and no nuclear power achievement

FWIW, my nuclear power achievement has not triggered either and I've been using nuclear power for 27 hours in-game, and spent 238 uranium fuel cells. I built my nuclear power plant on Nauvis, I saw another post about someone not being able to get it on their space platform, but yeah this is on Nauvis.

Attaching my save file.

I'm on 2.0.15, have returned to Nauvis from Vulcanis, and placed down another 2x3 nuclear reactor array and at some point while the bots were building it out the achievement triggered!

I think maybe when a fuel cell got loaded into one of the reactors, but uncertain, happy to say this appears to be working for me now.

I suspect what has happened here: this achievement has a condition that was changed in 2.0.11 to require nuclear reactor to be placed (it does not search for existing reactors, it only counts them when they are built by players or by robots) so if nuclear reactors were placed before 2.0.11, then this achivement will not trigger in current version until at least one new reactor is placed. Without a save file from the OP i cannot confirm this is what actually happened so i will move this to Pending.

The achievement doesn't trigger for me either. I use nuclear power only on my space platform.

(I just noticed there is a Steam achievement for it and I don't have it!)

Maybe the problem is there are no wires? Probably not, but guessing is fun.

EDIT: You said it yourself:

it only counts them when they are built by players or by robots

Space platforms should be added to that list!

Yeah i just checked this and indeed space platforms seem to be completly missed from this logic.

-- edit:

This specific case of achievements not seeing reactors built on space platform is fixed for 2.0.19, however i am not adding migration for this. You will need to remove and rebuild that nuclear reactor there. As a workaround you can build it on the surface right now to make achievements see you built nuclear and give you the achievement.
