Achievements

[Songleaves]

Eventually when this game gets put on Steam I presume there will be achievements. Is it too soon in development to start thinking about these? Some obvious achievements would be beating the game without leaving any colonists behind, without having had any colonists die, without having killed anyone all game, or only staying with your original 3 colonists. Other achievements?

If an ironman mode was put in, an achievement for it. And I assume they'll be added whenever the game is made to update without deleting everything or yeah far in, since the achievements would all disappear with deleting the files.

How about one for beating the game with none of your starting colonists alive.

If Tynan is planning on putting achievements in eventually, he should make a public statement so we can start throwing ideas at him.

Also, for the sake of our sanity, make the achievements transferable between game versions if possible.

That's easy, just the folder would be kept in the same place around where saves are, which doesn't get deleted when you get a new game and replace old one. Also, the idea's been talked about recently, there can be 'Quests' and 'Achievements'. Achievements would be like beating randy random on extreme in under 1 year and getting off with a spaceship, quests would be in-game achievements sort of, you can get rewards for doing tasks, like completing 100 swords or getting 10k alpaca fur for this faction.

The number of funny achievement ideas for this game is completely overwhelming :3

It's Only a Flesh Wound:

Awarded when a colonist who has lost all four limbs kills something.

Would love to see achievements in this game, yes!

A mod could add them initially, but Steam integration has to come from the core application.
