Slave to System Achievement Bugged?

[Jynn]

So I carefully spent centuries in game cultivating my race and enslaving / colonizing to get this achievement, and finally reached it...for no achievement?

Iron man mode is ON.

No mods.

I'm the correct government (even if it's named differently....is that why it won't work?)

[Jynn]

Yes. I am Collectivist

I was able to get the achievement a few weeks ago so I don't think it's bugged, maybe you have an altered file ? The way I did it was just enslaved every species that wasn't my own while I took over the entire galaxy so maybe the slaves need to be of a diff species?

 

[Jynn]

I got the Queening Achievement yesterday so achievements aren't bugged entirely, just this one

If it has to be other species, I wish it had said that >.< it just said 'pops', making me think I could get away with enslaving my own

 

[Malonex]

Yeah I would've assumed any pop would do, are your sectors set to enslave/allow slavery?

 

[Sibericus]

You might not actually have two hundred slaves in your empire. Are your sectors set to enslave? Even if they are, I have encountered problems where the sector AI absolutely refuses to enslave food and mineral pops. Thankfully Banks will solve this problem by auto-enslaving pops, but it's a couple days off and will break your saves. Just do some more conquering, and manually enslave the pops on the conquered planets before handing them off to sectors.

 

[Jynn]

They are set to enslave.

I've also fully built each world before putting it into a Sector, and removed the AI's ability to redevelop any planet in their sector. So they should not have Emancipated anyone I had already enslaved

 

[Slynx]

it worked fine for me.

one of the easiest achievements, just "play collectivist"
just enslave every pop on every planet. to ensure you have enough slaves.

 

[Malonex]

Is your slavery policy set for regulated or just normal slaver

 

[Jynn]

Regulated, is that the issue? Hmm...let me switch it and see what happens then

 

[Slynx]

Is your slavery policy set for regulated or just normal slaver

it doesn't matter. works with both. even xenos only will be ok as long as you're collectivist

 

[Slynx]

maybe you don't have 500 pops. and the number in your chart includes growing pops too. just wait few years

 

[Malonex]

I'd still look just to try everything y'know? Failing that if I were you'd id just say screw it and enslave everyone in the empire

 

[Jynn]

Very true!

I'll let it run for a few in-game years, try and get to 550 Pops and see what happens then. I'll enslave everyone i can in the meantime

Switching to Unregulated did indeed make no difference

 

[Malonex]

Ah well, worth a shot.

 

[Jynn]

It was, and wasn't something that crossed my mind as a possible issue, so thanks for mentioning it!

if worse comes to worse I'll just have to restart over in the new Banks/Utopia version and redo it all. It'd suck, but what can you do eh? XD

 

[Jynn]

Not sure what happened but it just went off. I guess it may have been as someone said, and Growing pops do not count and I had too many growing ones. "

Or maybe it was just slow...

Thanks for the help everyone! ^^

 

[RELee]

Ah, the value of patience. Learn it now!

 

[Jynn]

The achievement said 500 pops / 200 slaves, I had gotten that. In-game years had gone by without it triggering.

So I came to see if there was a problem

It's not that I don't have patience ( i obviously do if i spent centuries in game dedicated to this). It's that I thought there was a problem because I'm used to achievements going off as soon as their qualifications are met, how was I supposed to know you need more than 500 pops to make sure you have enough? it doens't say 500 GROWN pops, it just says 500 pops. I didn't realize they had to be grown, so I didn't realize i had to wait after meeting the requirements.

Seems a bit uncalled for (perhaps even rude) to declare I don't have patience, IMO. =/ so far everyone had been quite understanding and nice on these forums, until now.

Hopefully in the future you can be a bit more empathetic and polite to new posters who have issues with something.
