Nuclear power achievement is not rewarded even when generating nuclear power. I am in vanilla, not Space Age.


What did you do?
- I built nuclear reactors and connected them to heat exchangers/steam and began generating electricity.
What happened?
- Nuclear reactors began generating electricity but I didn't receive the achievement.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
- Receive the Nuclear reactor achievement.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
- Happens no matter what I do. Load from save, disconnect all power lines, etc.

Welcone on forums. This is not a bug. One of conditions for this achievement is for electricity to be produced by steam turbines. Steam engines are not steam turbines.

That worked, thanks!
