Achievement System

To be completely honest, the current rewards aren't even thought out or anything. We never considered the costs of the prizes, or how many achievements would be added, etc. I was simply told to just rename some files and think of random things to 'fill it out' for a default release.

The ones I made up, almost all were either the 5 coin default cause I didn't change it, or some randomass number like 40/75/90.. while the ones Sage wrote up are all like 10/15/20/25, it inherently isn't balanced for lack of better terminology.

Beyond this, adding cumulative achievements for existing things (like mining/jobs/events) won't work because you have to manually add a new line checking that achievement and it would ignore any previous progress of similar ones. Ex. If I added a 10k rock one, and you already have the 5k rock one, you'd still have to mine 10k rocks.

Further beyond this, as stated prior, no one on the current team knows how to do any of this. I believe it was released prematurely and is just gathering dust now because these reasons. I mean half of the default ones still don't have icons.

The best route, imho, is to just turn it off & reset the progress/coins until someone can properly launch it.
