Achievements bugged? [solved]

Post by JcJet » Thu, 6. May 21, 08:22

The following achievement:
Stop, Thief! (Steal cargo using the Cargo Bay Hacker.)
Not triggering when using the space pickpocket feature. There's a moment in the story when you have to use it, and yet it has ~0% achieved on Steam global stats. The rest 0.something are probably used SAM.

Drones, Drones, Drones. (Obtain a drone carrier.)
Which ones are qualified as drone carriers? I've got Magnetar and Griffon Raider, but it didn't pop up.

Neither of those ships are drone carriers.

The Griffin is one, but not the raider variant.

you can check the ship class in the ship info menu, drone carriers have a separate class, M7D

Thanks for the answer, I'll build a heavier carrier soon then :)

There's another possible "bugged" achievement:
***Modified*** (activate script editor)
When I activate it by changing the name, the local achievement pops up, with the tooltip "achievement unlocked", but Steam achievement remains locked. Tried several times.

Steam Achievements are disabled for modified games, so that works as intended.

Then how are you supposed to get that *steam* achievement?

That one is supposed to work in modified games, but not sure yet why it isn't

An aside query:

Is there any reason to chase Steam achievements IG or out-of-game other than for personal gratification? I've never bothered with them (& can't do so anyway on my disconnected game machine), but I've always been curious as to why ppl seem to focus on them..

Most of our life, things we do are for self gratification. People are hardcoded to desire and they will attempt to fulfill their desires on their own terms.

In X3 also, we set ourselves goals to capture a Hyperian, build an empire, wipe out a Xenon sector etc etc and technically, they are also self gratification. Steam achievements are also the same. I myself never bothered about achievements in my previous X games but now playing unmodified games aiming to obtain achievements as well. In a nutshell, self gratification provides a meaning to keep playing !
X fanatic. More of an X3 fanatic.
What about X4? Nah, I prefer a space simulator rather than a walking simulator.

They provide the list of things to discover in the game, which fits X game. They help you discover new ways to have fun. Instead of just finishing the story, build a fleet, kills some xenons, and get bored.
In the case of this particular game, only a few achievements are about "self-gratification" for "achieve" something.
For example, buying the drone carrier is not really an achievement but rather the discovery. I never tried M7D class of ships before (never even seen them, and why bother when you have M2/M1), but because of this achievement I learn how to obtain it, and this ship gave me quite an interesting new experience in the game, like scanning the whole system including the asteroids with a swarm of drones in a few clicks, not to mention the graphics of actual hangers opening.
Same with other achievements. You completed the plot, and reading the next achievements: "What's Kogasaru Maru?", "Armored Transport? Oh yeah, I forgot it was one of the new things", "Stun seven space flies at once? Hm, never seen these before"...

There seems to be a typo in another achievement as well, or the achievement is tracking the wrong value. Is it meant to be 10k or 100k?

I'm sure it isn't working, activating the scripteditor any trying some new mechanics is a tradition to me, btw = xxx -> install x units of yyy gives some odd results
