Rimworld badges and achievements, why not?
Rimworld is a flawless game in my opinion, not to mention the modding community, which truly makes it a game where the only limit is your imagination. Its finally grown up to be one of my favourite games to the point of even buying the console edition. That being said, is there any reason why Rimworld doesn't implement it own achievement system like the console version (without a mod) and have its own badges, cards, backgrounds, ect.

Between mods, the ability to turn on dev mode / god mode at any time, and save file editing, achievements are completely pointless. You could probably 100% the game in half an hour, tops, if they were added.

Besides, RimWorld's meant to be an open-ended game that doesn't *force* you onto any path. You could play the same colony for generations, over a hundred years. You could do every ending in one run. You could make your fortune raising livestock or making art or farming organs or growing drugs.

If they were added, the game would have to be forced into mod-free inronman mode, completely disable dev mode, figure out a way to detect save editing, and so on. It would add restrictions and conditions and rules and nonsense.

Adding achievements would negate the freeform 'do what you want how you want'. Every player would have to do the same things to get their points up. And that's just not what RimWorld is.

No reason other than they don't want to do it

Kinda sad but it is what it is

oh not again this useless discussion.

Achievements are not needed and developer already said that they won't imply them because of them not wanting to nugde people into playing into certain style and restrain creativity.

Next time, search function?

I wonder how many of these threads we have now? 1000? 10000? It certainly feels like it.
