Micro Implementation of Factorio Achievements Enabler in Rust

🦀 Rust pattern matching is great, let's use it!

A simple program that enables achievements in modded Factorio by patching the game's binary, mostly inverting conditional checks on jump instructions. In other words, rewrites the following in machine code:

# From
if not modded:
    steam.unlock(trophy)

# Into
if modded:
    steam.unlock(trophy)

^{Note: As such, playing without mods naturally disables achievements • Verify game files to revert changes.}

Compared to alternatives, this one is:

• Tiny: 100 lines of code, easier to audit.
• Fast: 500ms to patch the game.
• Smart: Auto detect Steam version.

📦 Installation

Warning

Do not ever submit crash reports with a patched binary!

• This is a non-official modification ≠ "mods".
• Use at your own risk of data loss.

Important

Always patch the game after updates, as they revert changes.

Install Git and Rust language, then run:

• git clone https://github.com/Tremeschin/MiniFae
• cd MiniFae && cargo run --release

By default, it'll look for the Steam version of Factorio in the home directory.

• Use cargo run --release -- /path/to/factorio to patch a custom file.

To revert changes, either verify the files on Steam, re-download or restore a backup.
