This might work if there was just one character that could be used by players, but there are way too many characters available where your crown and golden armor wouldn't fit (see
here for the alternative characters I know about).

Changing player appearance? There are mods for that...
For example,

No thank you.
Plus, this is too easy to cheese:
- Start a new map with biters off
- Let the game run
- ???
- Profit
And if we're talking about Steam play time, then step 1 is simply
Start the game.

Just no.
If a factorio player wants to show off in multiplayer we have blueprint books already.

Tbh, I'm not fond of rewards based on (excessive) playtime. Playing the game should be the reward in itself, the game shouldn't be turned into something one is mandated to endure in order to earn a reward.
Achievements are a similar thing : I have a better gaming experience when there are no achievements, because when there are, I feel compelled to try and get them, which usually makes the game less enjoyable.

No thanks. I enjoy this game without the asinine superficial "rewards" To be honest, I wish achievements did not exist in this game. I never liked achievements as it creates a superficial feeling of accomplishments. I think Valve/Steam was on a mega-brutal drug that day when they said there should be Steam Achievements.

Those are fair points. Not mine but understandable.

I don't mind the "You've done thing X" achievements. Stuff like "Has launched a rocket."
Factorio is mostly those, with that last green circuit achievement being a stand-in for "has built a megabase."
Lets keep it to stuff like that.
