[2.0.11] Not getting achievements after reaching >50% playtime retroactively

Post by nett_hier »

Hello,

the recent update introduced a requirement of >50% playtime on a save to unlock achievements.
I'm playing on a Multiplayer server with players spread across timezones, so I keep switching between < and >50%.
This wouldn't be an issue if achievements applied retroactively after reaching >50%, but they do not. This means that e.g. despite setting up a Vulcanus base alone from scratch and literally being on the surface of Vulcanus, I still don't have the "Visit Vulcanus" achievement.
And despite having nuclear power on Nauvis, I do not have the corresponding achievement, and am unsure how I can get it.
I'm also missing achievements related to use of science packs.

It's unclear to me how to get these achievements that I achieved while <50% now that I'm >50%. I would prefer if I would get all missed achievements after reaching the >50%.

This requirement was introduced in 0.15.11 that was released in May 2027, over 7 years ago. I would not say it qualifies to saying "recent update".

As far as i understand this is working as intended. Not a bug.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Welcome, time traveler.
I believe it's pointless to ask how third expansion development is going, right?
Still, there are plenty of themes you're allowed to discuss with a cup of something tasty, riiiiiight?
