Hey, just to get back to you. Just got an achievement with this enabled. Works fine! Even registered in Steam properly.

One of the things I found recently that I really like is that you can disable the game pausing in the tech screen. It’s a bit hidden, but:

In the main menu, hold ctrl+shift while clicking settings. Then click “the rest”. You can then disable the checkbox behind “technology-gui-pauses-game” and confirm.

Be careful though there are some settings in there that can really mess up your game.
