I made a space platform to mine asteroids dedicated to produce high quality iron plates.
So all the machines up there have quality modules mark 2 in them.
So now I want the same for copper plates on the ground.
And with the first machine I place a quality module mark 2 in I get awarded with the - "make it better" insert a quality module into a module slot - achievement.
All those "better" machines on the platform don't count?

Post the save and add the version of the game to the title please, see 3638.

my corrent version of the game: 2.0.23

If I can reproduce, I don't know.
I probably have to delete all my steam achievements and start over.
On the platform the remote view is used to insert the modules, on Nauvis, I was in character when I inserted the module, not in remote view.

This prototype is used for receiving an achievement when the player moves a module with the cursor.

suggests it only works when modules are inserted by hand?
Haven't tried it with bots (platform construction is remote as well, albeit different than bots).

My experience is that the achievement is only triggered by modules inserted by hand.

Ref 119983 "make it better" achievement not triggered in biochamber.

Correct.

Correct.

Respectfully, I think that modules inserted by bots should count as well, since it doesn't make sense to me that, in a game about automation and delegating tasks to machines, the act of inserting modules into a machine only counts when it's done by hand.

Hello, thank you all for your feedback. The main reason why using the robots to deliver modules or inserting modules on platforms wasn't implemented is that we can't link it to a player in multiplayer games. I realize that this is a game about automation, but there are other manual achievements. Inserting the first quality module is a milestone after playing so long without quality that it was considered acceptable to require one manual module insert.

Could the description of the achievement be updated to reflect this requirement?

Done for the next release.
