Achievements

[DumplingFairy]

Hello i would like to ask If Rimworld will have some achievements? it willt 10 years old and there are no achievements. Its expensive game with expensive DLC´s. Many people like me love steam achievements and paying 30 E for great game, but with no achievements is somehow too much. PLEASE make achievements to us like: have x colonists in colony, leave the planet, have x animals, x gold, survive attacks, threads, rellationships, Royalty titles, studying technology tree..... there are a lot possibilites
Trust me, adding achievements will be proffitable for you :)

Doubtful.

What is so special about achievements? Especially the ones you get by simply playing a game? This is not an attack but I honestly don't understand the appeal.

Tools for devs to figure out where they went wrong.
But when you have "Start game" not being 100%, it really makes you think.

I actually like achievements from playing the game and dislike those that require standing on head for ten days each month with half of body covered in milk and second part painted red. I think achievements in Rimworld could be nice, but it has been explained several times that devs dont like this idea. And there will be no achievements. I think RW is good enough to play it without achievements. In most cases when I play for achievements (Im not an achievement hunter, though!) I do it in medicore games - you know, just to have any goal to play poor game for 5-10 hours. And that is it.

What's stopping you making your own goals and achievements?
Ultimately, they are only relevant to you anyway. Why do you need anyone else to make them for you?

As far as I recall the author said that achievements are not compatible with the idea of the game. It makes sense, if you ask me. But I think this is one of those games that could actually bring some really cool achievements, unlike typical stupid ones.

Considering how much mods change the game, many achievements would come down to 'can instantly be done with this mod' or 'this achievement can only be achieved with no mods active'. And then someone would develop a mod to get it anyway.

Yes, but....Rim World without mods? I don't think I can go back.

And then there's mods to re-enable achievements with mods.

See, I'm the other way around. Achievements, IMO, should be (as the name implies) a success despite difficulty or opposition. I'm not saying all achievements need to be difficult to get, but they should at the very least require invested effort.

I'm not against checkmarks such as "finished act 1", "defeated the final boss", or even if you absolutely need the incentive in order to do it, "start the game". But IMO these shouldn't be called achievements, but rather something more akin to "milestones" - something you pass on your journey. Not something you go out of your way for.

That said, I agree with Tynan in that achievements of any kind doesn't suit a game like RimWorld, where it's designed to be as open and un-guided as possible.

I am always a little confused by these - don't they completely break immersion for you when they pop up? I always switch those off, at least in story games, because it feels like I am constantly reminded that I am playing a video game, when I try to immerse myself into a story or world.
