Others are meant to guide the player to use different strategies and optional game mechanics. Achievements are available in both the Steam and standalone versions.

Disabling achievements

Achievement list in-game.

Achievements can only be unlocked in the default game mode, called Freeplay. Any scenarios, such as the tutorial or custom scenarios disable achievements. Furthermore, using script or cheat commands in the console disables achievements, however the user will be warned about this the first time they try to run such a command. Within the freeplay game, enabling peaceful mode or setting enemy bases to anything lower than default disables the following achievements: There is no spoon, No time for chit-chat, Raining bullets and Steam all the way. Any other changes to map generation or using the debug modes does not disable achievements.

A separate instance of achievements will be used when mods are installed and earned achievements will not register with Steam. In multiplayer, achievements can only be earned if the player has spent more than 50% of the time online.

Re-enabling achievements again can be achieved by editing the binary data of a save. (reference)
