Achievements not quite working right

[scithen]

I just finished a game last night and started a new one today, both at 0.13.5 (the one I finished might have been started in 0.13.3 or 4, not sure).
I previously had earned Watch Your Step, but also got Smoke Me a Kipper when I launched the rocket. Now it's showing in game
that I haven't earned either of those achievements, and Watch Your Step doesn't have a description at all, much like So Long and Thanks For All the Fish.

Steam is also telling me that I haven't earned either of those despite having all of the rest of the ones I earned - Lazy Bastard, Steam
All the Way, Raining Bullets, and various production ones.

Edit: Added screen snip of schievements. And posted my first picture, too.

Try re-launching the rocket? I have "Smoke Me a Kipper" in steam after doing it in 0.13.5. "Watch your step" however is not even appearing earned ingame. Both ingame and steam says 14 earned, so they are in sync so far.

Achievement text for Solaris mentions three conditions:
Steam engines are excluded.
10GJ are produced
last_hour_only.

Given that the wording is similar to other exclusion achievements, you likely need to make sure there are no steam-engines anywhere. Destroy em all, then play for an hour+ and generate the energy. Might be bugged by becoming impossible as soon as you build the first steam engine, but maybe not.

Nowhere does it say "last hour only". The achievement text says: "Produce more than 10GJ per hour without the usage of steam engine."

Also, if you read any of the posts, you would see that all of us have removed steam engines from out games, and we are all producing more than sufficient energy.

If steam engines are completely forbidden, as you mentioned, it would be nearly impossible to achieve, since you need many technologies before getting solar panels... unless the devs intend for us to hand-craft pretty much everything in the game until that point.

Try it
tough achivements
"There is no Spoon - Finish the Game in 8 Hours",
"Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast" - Finish the Game
"No time for chit-chat - Finish the Game in 15 Hours"

Vanilla + no peace mode.

The train one seems to be tied to the position of the moon and the amount of werewolves active, cause on one server I got tons of achievements like Iron Throne, Solaris etc just by joining, but getting run over by a train 10 times during my stay there did nothing. Next few weeks I spent my time on servers, getting run over by trains occasionally and nothing, then finally on one server it triggered..

It was bugged when it was implemented, and I think was 0.13.7 that actually had it working again.

Also if you use any console codes or mods, the achievements will not be transferred to steam even if they are earned in-game.

I have achievements that show up in the game, but don't always transfer to Steam.


Research Oil Processing. That triggered in game yonks ago, but has not transferred to Steam
Solaris. Ditto.

Just now: Research All Technologies. This is a real pain. I had the same map playing for *ever* to get this in game, but it did not transfer to Steam. A couple of play hours before, on exactly the same map, I achieved the Circuit Veteran 2, which did get added to Steam.

You have mod activated on the save ? You can't have steam achievement with mod. You launched the game via steam ?

Factorio is up to date ? those problem where fixes some version ago.

[Zonk]

Steam Achievements dont work with Mods, (any) LUA commands, pre edited Maps but i dont know about version jumps 12.x->14.x.

[DRY411S]

As I said, I got the processing achievement, but a couple of hours later did not get the 'all research' achievement.

I play without mods.

Is there any way to reset or redo achievements? I achieved several achievements in game while playing with mods not realising at the time that mods blocked steam achievements. But now I cant get these achievements in steam which is annoying. I can understand not getting achievements with mods running but not blocking them.

I am guessing that the achievements are held in achievements.dat (it gets updated every time you stop playing). On a Windows PC it's in a hidden folder

Code: Select all

C:\Users\<your_windows_login_name>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio

There's also an achievements-modded.dat file in that folder.

Playing multiplayer the other day, I triggered some achievements which I wasn't expecting.

[Acarin]

Yup, even Blueprint String will negate achievements being credited on Steam. You still get the award within the game itself, but it will not show on your Steam account unless you are playing pure vanilla.

@123robert321 You will probably get Steam achievements again when playing on another save that has never had mods. Something else you could do is to modify your current save file so achievements for Steam are triggered again. I don't know whether it'll work if you still have the mods active, or whether that's the problem at all. But if you want, there's a guide on how to do that:

@Dry411s
Ok i see the .dat file but what am i meant to edit so I can redo the achievements please?

@SWSe
Nope thats the problem as soon as I realised mods were blocking achievements I started new games without any mods but its not giving me the achievements I had already got in game. So if you look on my steam profile it looks like I've managed to get achievements like "Lazy Bastard" and "Raining bullets" without getting "Eco Unfriendly" and "It stinks and they dont like it", which is impossible.

I assume that if you delete those files it will reset all your achievements back to zero. Whether it also zeroises all achievements on Steam or not, I do not know. I doubt it after reading https://help.steampowered.com/en/#text= ... ents&home=

[Neemys]

As far as I know, if you delete both achievement (achievement gain in vanilla) and achievement-modded (achivement gain on modded factorio), you reset the achivement modded, but if you are playing steam version, the game will reload the steam achievement so you don't lose acheivement vanilla. You can only reset vanilla achievement in standalone factorio.

The only way i know to reset achievement is by a not authorized way by valve using a third party software to manipulate achievement.

It is in the game files:

I'm playing plain vanilla and updated to 0.14. The odd thing now is that I launched a rocket, won the game, got the achievement. But I continued to play and got "Thangs for all the fish" achievement too. Now I noticed I dont have the "win the game" achievement anymore and launching a second satelite didn't get it back.

Could this be cause because I started the game in 0.13 and now palying 0.14?
