Yeah, but it's the closest you can get... and the topic also partially drifted to IG achievements.

I brought up the in-game achievements as a way to settle the whole "non-users can't have steam achievements" claim.  That was just to demonstrate it can still be done.

So why console achievements?

Because they're required by the console makers, I believe...

Maybe, The support of achievements was certainly not required by Xbox 360 and PS3 as there are hundreds without any. But this may not be the case with the PS4 and Xbox One.

@Anouchka, can you please elaborate on what exactly you want from implementing Steam Achievements in Kerbal Space Program?

For the people saying that non-steam players would be left out:

 

Take a look at Slime rancher it has the same in game achivents that it has on steam meaning that it doesnt matter where you are playing it but you are going to get the same achivements like a steam player

Then why does it need achievements on Steam?

Those are *awesome* names... and they would make awesome contracts.

Edit: and this is basically the "Challenges & Mission Ideas" subforum in a nutshell.

Most of those are already in the stock game as "World Firsts". 

If they were coded as achievements outside the game, they would only be obtainable once.   The World Firsts do offer some cash, science, and Rep rewards in game, IIRC, and in the early stages of a career game, these bonuses do help.  So if they became out of game achievements, only obtainable once, then any subsequent games you start, you wouldn't be eligible for them. 

Now if we include a bunch of random weirdo achievements, in game and out, so it covers all players, like "Summit K2" or "Climb on top of a monolith", then I could get behind that.

Milestones are already in game. Just in case you want to argue over semantics now....
