Seriously, when do you stop with achievements now?
It was said several times now, and i understand it makes sense to some, and some might like it but i was done for a second time, glad for it, and to find out now today you added achievements for level 10, 11 and 12 too.

You don't require every pet to be maximum either (and please don't get any ideas), so it wasn't entirely needed for excavation either.

Hey, I explained it in the post, I originally planned to add the 10,11,12 achievements when the levels were added into the game because I lowered the xp to reach up to level 12, so it will be the same as 9.

I also included that no more steam achievements will ever be added.
I know its annoying, and sorry for adding them in a delay and not when I introduced levels 10-12.
Will do better next time.

I am at level 10, so i don't even know what level 11 to 12 takes, but i can say from 10 to 11 is already taking too long even with the pets, updates and gem bonus (in my opinion).

Even with auto, almost the whole day this still adds another 2 months atleast.

I agree with that. The progression to the next level takes far too long.

The problem is that I designed the excavation leveling system to be played from 0 with all the other systems, and you started while you already played a lot of idle fishing, so you feel like you are "behind", but not really. Anyway - I decided to remove the level 11/12 achievements from Steam and only keep the level 10 achievement.

Does it seem fair to you?

Well if you call it feeling behind or not, it still takes 2-3 months (atleast) to finish this game a third time (while it was promised there wouldn't be much more achievements).
But you got people that want to still play this endlessly (for some reason) and done 200 rebirths, but others want to close a game once they got all achievements (especially when they have big backlogs anyway), and it get's kinda annoying the way it goes, i mean if it took 2-3 weeks extra, then i wouldn't have said anything perhaps.

F.e Pixel Puzzles Ultimate everyone knows from the starts there will always be new puzzles and thus achievements, that's a difference.

Level 10 is fair to me.

I get what you mean, ok so its settled for now with level 10 for steam achievements, and a commitment from me that I will never add more steam achievements.

if you have any other feedback, it will be welcome :)

If you can do me 1 more favor, i always play in windowed mode, the catch notifcations have always been bugging me (even when there is a setting to turn them off they don't).
But now with the excavation they also go over the auto icon of excavation (and chest icon).
That option should be working as intented and keep everything off, i don't need to know what each catch does.

I don't see catch notifications in your image, do you mean reward notifications?
like +35,03cn Silver
+69,25l Gold
and so on

If so - for excavation, you can disable them in the settings of excavation.
If you talk about general reward popups - I plan to add a setting to group them together at the left side of the screen where they won't cover any UI, and will act like a chat(you will be able to scroll back and see all notifications)
How that sounds?

I guess general reward popups is what i mean.

That sounds okay, thanks.
You have to remove them from the in-game UI too cuz they still appear in the achievements tab.

Also do you plan to add more rewards in the excavation? The progress still seems slower and grindier than before the excavation even with all the rewards. Plus I don't see the point of getting extra fish bones and bigger stages as I already am at lvl 9 (108/2300) and I fully cleared the shop

The pet bonding on all pets is insane too. "They are not traps". Isnt that what you people said after the first batch you said you wasnt gonna add?

You have no idea how much I appreciate this. Thank you for listening and making this decision.

For myself, I will stop playing when there are no new achievements (added) and I have them all... even if you add new content (with no new achievements), it will not bring me back to the game... so thanks for adding all the new achievements so far. I can understand that this annoys completionists, but for me it was nice as long as it lasted... perhaps then switch to making an new game?
