Are you on Steam or Epic? I'm on Steam and have had problems with certain achievements, but most of them award normally.

Reply to Epic/Steam Achievements, those working and those that are broken in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

On the Discord chat, both Illauna, with over 2700 hours, and Old-Spider, whose Steam says he has 1697.7 hours, report that they do not have the 1000 hour achievement either. This one is definitely still broken.

Reply to Epic/Steam Achievements, those working and those that are broken in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

I'm finally over 1000 hours but have not gotten the achievement: Steam says that 0.3% of players have gotten the achievement, so maybe it's possible, but since 1002 > 1000 I have to consider it broken.

You should be able to download civs that other players have created.

DEC had given my high school a PDP-3, so I was programming in a forerunner or offshoot of Basic called Focal in 1968, using paper tape on a terminal like the one previously pictured. I used punch cards for the first time in 1969, when I took a class for high schoolers at MIT, learning FORTRAN.

Correct. Ascension Crystals add raw research to every core world of Ancient civilizations.

I'd like to second this. When I flip multiple colonies in one turn and click through the notifications, I frequently forget which colonies flipped. Having them listed in GNN would help.

Reply to Question / issue with removing Orbital Improvement in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

If I recall correctly, one of the mods in Draver's bundle of mods provides upgrades (when you research the tech) that allow orbital mines of all types to match the output levels of core world mines.

If it's in the Factions folder it's probably from a civ you downloaded, or perhaps created yourself.

Reply to Is the Workshop Button functional? in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

It doesn't work for me either. Do you need to have the Steam Cloud enabled? I don't. In any case, I'm off on a long cruise and won't be able to do any testing.

Updated original post to move Pirate Cleansing to the working list. Since only pirate bases count, I had to set Hostile Entities to abundant and then kill 4 pirate bases in my home sector, 2 more in the next adjacent sector, and then 2 more in the sector beyond that to get to the required total of 8.

The people looking for it call it Planet X. I think Stardock took some liberties and named it themselves.

Reply to Achievements working? in GalCiv IV Support GalCiv4 Forums

I was a beta tester when GC4 was Epic exclusive, and there were a lot of problems with the achievements early on, but as far as I know most (but not all) were fixed by the time Supernova came out on Steam and I switched to playing it. As an example, here are some of the achievements I've gotten: I haven't played on Epic for quite some time, so they may be broken by now.

Reply to Wrong language in dialogs in GalCiv IV Bug Reports GalCiv4 Forums

Have you downloaded any user created civilizations from the workshop (either Stardock or Steam)? I did, and in my next game I started seeing Spanish (or maybe it was Portuguese) text. I tried deleting the civs from within the game and found out that doesn't actually get rid of the files. Once I went into file manager, deleted the downloaded civs from Documents\My Games\GalCiv4\Factions and started a new game I have not seen the Spanish again.

I've seen that with the survey artifact, for me it's always started working after the next turn.
