Achievements broken?

[noric]

its not using the daily report numbers. It checks at a set interval and logs any active generators. Hamster wheels seem too need a consumer, maybe all generators do. You can always use a light bulb to consume. Brass tax your going to produce a lot more than 240,000. Could be worse though, look at "down the hatch" its 100x the tool tip. Is there even 10,000 T of ore on a map to refine?

Fail, just noticed re-read my output logfile:

Achieved:False, Metals Excreted: 3788.7197265625 / 10000000

=> I would need ~13 333t of metal ore to complete this.

[So I need an automated rocket to do this, or save scum the care packages for a very long time ...]

So it works. Buuuuuut keep in mind these are in Joules, and the achievement wants kJ. The mod that prints values is awfully wrong by a few zeros. 

Now, there comes a problem of why my 1000W transformer shows as 200J and not 1000!? This is a problem indeed - energy is handled at a different frequency than achievement updates, and while it makes sense for the energy calculations it absolutely doesn't work with the achievement progress updates.

Update times at 1x speed:

14:25:18

14:24:30

14:24:42

14:24:54

.... and every 12 seconds

 

Update times at 3x speed:

14:26:41

14:26:45

14:26:49 and so on every 4 seconds

Regardless of the speed, it's always 200J for the power transformer and this is where it gets ugly - most of the energy is unaccounted for, especially if running on the slow speed.

 

@Ipsquiggle sorry to bother you again -- but since I've spent time figuring it out maybe this will help

 

As for the Down the Hatch achievement it genuinely looks like someone mixed up the units and added a *1000 by accident in the Success check of the achievement.

for hatch achievement we need someone get a mod geyser to raining metal ore ...

thx for the test... in short we need to make 240000000W of energy?that a bit long but at least the thing is not bugged....we really need a in game achievement tracker klei

Or just give them a while to fix it. I'm sure they will.

The super man-power is doable like a achievement (i guess 300 -500 cycle with CPU solar power will do),the hatch one is surely bugged lol .

Ok, I just started to ranch smooth hatches and started to do some math with a scarry result:

Considering a 2 hatch breeding and 8 hatch working stable with full uptime and no fluctuations. [My current setup.]

=> It takes over 1 month of real life time playing on 3x game speed for my 10 smooth hatches to produce enough refined metal ...

That's actually incorrect, and Manual Generators are counted. Everything with Generator component is, bar the explicit list of buildings excluded for the achievement. Dig deeper next time

However the way the checks are done... the manual generator has to be in use at the exact moment the check is being made, and there needs to be an enabled consumer on the network (batteries do not count).

Yeah, mea culpa here -- I saw that the achievement was checking the Energy Sim's list of "Generator"s, saw that "ManualGenerator" didn't extend "Generator" and completely forgot that *most* prefabs have multiple components. (Such as FilteredStorage and Storage)

Indeed, ManualGenerator has a corresponding "Generator" component, so it should be checked. Component-based architecture. D'oh.

And then, of course, to check this I had a dupe run a manual generator hooked up to a battery and nothing else, which as your experiment proved... doesn't actually count. (Double oops!)

Digging further into the code, "joulesAvailable" is what is tracked, and this primarily gets updated from... "GenerateJoules" and "ConsumeEnergy", the former of which is only available when the generator is running, and the latter of which is used by Transformers. (Which again, your experiment shows works for this just fine)

As to the values being wrong, the energy Sim updates once every 200ms aka, 5 times a second, while the achievement is checked once every 5 seconds. So every 5 seconds, a 1/5 second snapshot of energy is added. Or in other words, we're only getting 200 of the 5000 expected joules! That's 4% of the expected value! No wonder it accrues so slowly! Not sure why Klei didn't use the Report Manager here like they did for the Calories achievements (as this IS updated

I can't explain the 78 -- it should be 80 given the Manual Generator's 400 watt rating -- but it's close enough to the expected value that I think this is possibly due to rounding?

 

And then to top everything off, I missed a "divide by 1000" so my mod is displaying joules instead of kilojoules. Will update that soon.

TL;DR - this achievement is weirdly unique, and probably would be considered bugged.

Because it does not save what produced that energy - at least from what I gathered from a quick peek

• "Oxygen Not Occluded" and "Down the Hatch" initiatives now track the correct values (they were looking for 1000x too much oxygen/metal!)

From the patch notes about an hour ago...Thank goodness.

Ah, fair enough. It's saving it with a name for the report, but you can't look up past values that way.

Edit: I've updated my Achievement Tracker mod. Should now accurately reflect Super Sustainable & have the updated values for Down the Hatch / Oxygen not Occluded.

Bonus -- it also tells you whether or not your colony is ineligible due to Debug or Sandbox mode!

It's actually even worse -- the first schedule OnSpawn is 5s, but the interval between updates (see CheckAchievements) is 12s. Either way, it's totally broken.

Hmm. Are you sure you have the latest version of the mod? That's the old-style output format.

Oxygen Not Occluded was dropped from 100,000 to 1000, which 7731 is greater than 1000, so I would have expected it to unlock immediately.

also they don't disable your achievements by default

But they did.The ability to use debug mode was enabled long time ago (1year or smth), how should I know that this fact prevents me from achievements gaining even if I don't use debug? And what about mod's? If i make a mod which grants 400kcal BBQ from start, will i gain Crnivore?

it's only once you use a debug command that achievements won't work anymore for that save file (which seems fair to me). 

Wrong. Just having the debug_enabled.txt file in the game folder is enough to prevent you from achievement gaining. That is what happens to me exactly.

But I just disabled debug mode entirely to make sure I don't accidentally press any debug command hot keys 

That what I made too. But one week after launch, when (on cycle 120+) I realized, that bugged achievements still donot work for me, but work to others.

I have confirmed that just having the file does not disable your eligibility for achievements. Only actually using ANY of the debug commands or keybinds (which to be fair is easy to do by accident if you have it enabled)

I believe this isn't wrong.

I tested it: I activated debug mode and just deactivated it right after to see if I would gain the achievment of entering oil biome for the first time. It failed.

Then I just reloaded the last save before activating debug mode. I got the achievment right away.

Basically using anything debug related flips the 'debugWasUsed' flag irreversibly.

Checked my savefiles with hex editor: in each file i see the following line
 debugWasUsed 03 13 00 00
In the last one, where everything works fine I have got the same line too. Moreover, this file have never been loaded on the system with debug mode enabled. May be my bugged savefile was marked at the moment when it was not actually fixed? I have strated bugged colony few minutes after release.It could be more dissapointing.
