Creating your own Achievements

Q: Can I suggest more achievements?

A: No. This mod is finished, it already has more achievements than most of the video games upon release. A lot of achievements in this mod are already suggestions from the community! You can however suggest achievements for other Vanilla Expanded mods.

Q: Can you add achievements for X mod?

A: If it’s a part of Vanilla Expanded, yes, if it’s somebody elses mod, no. They can easily add those achievements themselves.

Q: Where should this mod be placed in the mod load order queue?

A: As far up as possible. Any mod that adds achievements NEEDS to be placed under it.

Q: How can I add my own achievements?

A: Simply follow the link I placed in the Content section below for a detailed guide.

Q: Achievement should have unlocked but it didn’t!

A: Chances are something went wrong. In that case, you can go to dev-menu and in the Vanilla Achievements category simply unlock that specific achievement manually. In any case, please follow the instructions in Known Issues section and submit a valid error log.

Q: Do Achievements carry over across save games?

A: No. Achievements are per save-game, not per steam-account. Every time you start a new game, you need to unlock them from the start.

Q: Do Achievement points carry over across colonies?

A: No. Just like achievements themselves, they are stored per save-game.

Q: Can achievements be achieved several times in one playthrough?

A: None of the currently provided achievements can, but it can easily be modded in for other achievements.

Q: Are achievements retro-active? Can I add this mod to an existing game?

A: Some are, some aren’t. If you add it to an existing save, it will unlock achievements like the ones for the amount of colonists etc. Some achievements, like ‘Have a bonded pig die in fire’ don’t get tracked UNTIL the mod is active, hence will need to be unlocked again.
