Separate Normal And DLC Achievements.

TL;DR + What?
Achievements requiring the DLC show up only after you purchase the DLC.

How?
Although programming is my hobby I am not a game dev, but it seems Steam supports this behaviour.
In a comment on a steam forum(https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/ ... 3885721179) user wuddih explains that you can create a separate AppId, put the DLC and achievements in it, and then you can assign it as the child of the original AppId of Factorio.

Why?
I like earning 100% on games and I think there's others like me. There are certainly people frustrated when a dlc of a game on steam breaks their 100%:

In my opinion the DLC shouldn't stop people from completing the base game of Factorio as it is a standalone game.

I'd like to humbly voice my support for such separation. I have bought Factorio recently and there's a big lack of a "North Star" after launching a rocket. I went to achievements, but DLC achievements are mixed with the base game achievements and I have to look for external sources in order to find out what achievements are still available to me.

It's disappointing that new players have a degraded experience compared to what came before the DLC release.
