There are no plans to add achievements on PC. They were given to console versions because the consoles' stores required them - we couldn't sell RimWorld there without achievements or trophies.

Between mods, the ability to turn on dev mode / god mode at any time, and save file editing, achievements are completely pointless. You could probably 100% the game in half an hour, tops, if they were added.

Besides, RimWorld's meant to be a story generator, an open-ended game that doesn't force you onto any path. You could play the same colony for generations, over a hundred years. You could do every ending in one run. You could make your fortune raising livestock or making art or farming organs or growing drugs.

If they were added, the game would have to be forced into mod-free iron man mode, completely disable dev mode, figure out a way to detect save editing, and so on. It would add restrictions and conditions and rules and nonsense.

Adding achievements would negate the freeform 'do what you want how you want'. Every player would have to do the same things to get their points up. And that's just not what RimWorld is.

It gets asked like once a month, devs said no they won't do it. It's gotten to the point where the moderator has the response copied and ready to be pasted for threads like this

There's a search function. If you'd used it, you'd have seen 417 pages of threads and posts relating to "achievements". Even if a mere 10% of those were about actual achievements and not the word 'achievement' or such, that's over 40 pages of the topic.

If you Google "Rimworld achievements", you'll find numerous more specific threads (here on Steam, on Reddit, elsewhere) on the topic. If you Bing "Rimworld achievements", you'll get several threads also, including Brodacz102's invaluable Steam guide 'RimWorld 100% Achievement Guide'...which points out that this game does not have achievements.

There is information very readily available for those who look for it even slightly. You did not look for it. You tried to shortcut the process and ask for it, then doubled-down when told that they weren't coming. This question has been asked to death.
