Alt mode

[Zashay]

some development said "not met in alt mode"
but when I play with add various alt mode, I still unlock it.

every development can met in alt mode?

Steam achievements and Unlocks in game are not the same thing.
I'm pretty sure you can't unlock any developments in alt mod.

[Zashay]

But
I added god mode, speed mode, explorer mode and random start.
When I end the era I unlocked all developments that I do.
I unlocked developments in game and achievement in steam.

It makes me doubt and make a discussion in here.
Whatevere, It's good for me.

I also have this"problem". I unlocked two things in alt mode. Not just steam achievments either.

Same here with some achievements which "can't" be met in Alt mode - got them in Alt mode when going for something else (Paradise Island, Ancient Civilization).

[Zashay]

but I got all achievement from alt mode.

[Toriste]

Steam Achievements or Unlocks which give you access to natural sources/projects ?

Can confirm that developments and their respective achievements that say 'cannot be completed in alt-mode' can indeed be completed in alt-mode.

I find this to be fortunate, because I seem not to be able to disable Alt-mode, even with all of the advanced options unchecked. . . . .

I wonder how (or if) it is possible to play in non-alt-mode.

Mh, weird. You saw that "large planet" also aktivates alt-mode, right?

I too unlocked a lot of devellopments AND Steam-achievents in alt-mode that were not supposed to unlock.


What about the very last category of devellopments (only 4 ambassadors other than e.g. Desert)?
Can they be unlocked in alt-mode? I haven't tried any of those yet.

edit: I just realised: I'm about 3 years late... ^^

@mopple-the-whale That's ok…

My curiosity about this dynamic persists. I haven't played Reus in a long time (and I didn't get very far) but I would like to see how complex the game can become because of unlocking developments.

Unfortunately I cannot offer any resolution on playing in a normal (or non-alt-) mode......yet perhaps it is that "large planet" option.
Maybe I will be back if I perform some research.
