Considering this is just a texture pack for the game, do you know if this would this disable steam achievements? Since Space Age had released a ton of new achievements on Steam, I'm sure a ton of people are hunting for them now and this would be a nice thing to add without disabling them.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I definitely got achivments during testing but I can't say for sure when, why and under what conditions.

I do know that in game achievements that appear are separate from steam achievements. You can see if they unlock in your steam account.

Yes I know, but during the testing I tried different things and loaded them with and without mods frequently, so I can't trace back what asachivements (Steam or in-game) I got when and under which conditions.

Fair nuff. But yeah, to be safe I'll keep my achievement save only with the Wube mods. Deffo eager to play with this in a modded playthrough

For achievements to count for Steam, the list of activated mods must only contain the “Base mod” and the three DLC mods.

There is a mod on Github, which activate AV's again; also when you use Mods.
