Will using SCIM affect Steam Achievements?

[DooMer Bonni3]

i'm looking to delete some dismantle crates i can't seem to find and this is the easiest method to do so. will this affect me unlocking steam achievements?

[Fenix]

doesn't appear too

Unless you use it to skip past some things that would give achievements by being done (think researching a tech tree in the MAM, or all of them) it shouldn't.

Thank you, it's literally to delete 2 dismantle crates that i *think* have clipped under the map.

You can even manually activate some advanced mode features like fly, no build cost, etc in SCIM and achievements is still good. Just dont tick the advanced mode box itself.

I guess the game treats SCIM like a mod and they said mods will not disable achievements. Or should not anyways.

I think it's because, for the most part, SCIM is a save editor, so the game doesn't have a reliable (and non-intrusive) way of detecting it.

It does not and I can confirm. Used to remove some buried crates and still getting chieves

Good luck getting the 1K tickets for the Golden Nut statue legitimately.

True, but its not that bad once the turbo motors and other high tier goods are flowing.

It’s actually not that hard. Exploring around gets a metric ton of tickets with the dna capsules. Pre those sure but post those it’s not that bad anymore

Just for information:
Saw the following in the crash report:

IsUsingMods: No, IsSaveGameEdited: No

Dunno if it's ever on yes, but it's there ...
