Achievements

[Ziggy]

I really think people would play much more, if there would be achievements. Maybe they should only be enabled in permadeath mode, just like in Stellaris etc. so they aren't as easy to get. For completionists like me, it is a big turndown, because achievements, challenges and things like that keep you going, and show you a way.

I don't know how this system works with Steam, but I hope it's not hard to implement.

Sorry but no.

Everything else I have to say about achievments and steam is forbidden by the forum rules.

[Hans Lemurson]

The game is still too much in flux for definite achievement-goals to be added.  Couple this with the fact that it's very mod-friendly, and not everybody even plays RimWorld via Steam, and it ends up looking like a lot more trouble than it's worth.

Unnecessary and unneeded. I love achievements. But there is no value added in this kind of game.

Some ironic ones and/or ones that everyone would get would be funny.

[Achievement] Your pawn died to an animal.
[Achievement] Your pawn died to an mechanoid.
[Achievement] Your pawn died to an raider.
[Achievement] Your pawn died to another pawn.
[Achievement] Your pawn died to starvation.
[Achievement] Your pawn died to a botched medical operation.
[Achievement] Your settlement was wiped out.
else
[Achievement] Your settlement survived a [day][month][X seasons][X years]

Seriously this kind of game and achievements don't go together unless it's just to mess with the idea of achievements to begin with.

You want something to achieve ?

Tame a thrumbo.

Make a statue out of gold or jade.

Play in Tundra and don't use sunlamps or hydroponic tables.

Build a ship in a colony where you're not allowed to use turrets, and ranged weapons other than EMP grenades and EMP mortar.
