Once the Radial Excavator is used, it is full of dirt and you can move that dirt elsewhere with the Monorail Nodes. To start, I used the Radial Excavator to both create a lava lake and get dirt from elsewhere on the map. Once in phase 2, it’s time to start the work to get the achievement. For myself, I left this corner of the map alone after using the Seismic Detonator to create the lava ‘lake’ around the fissure on the hill, placed a Geothermal Plant on the hill, then left that corner well alone so I would have more room to work during phase 2 to earn the achievement. I don’t know if the tiles in the corners next to the Animal Observatory count, as I counted the ones that were sharing a full side.Ĭomplete phase 1 as normal for the map. If it doesn’t, hover your mouse over the tile for a moment to check which type of tiles are nearby, and make sure that the tiles state “Boreal Forest”, “Lichen”, “Tundra”, and “Kelp Forest”. If done correctly, you should earn the achievement shortly after you place the Animal Observatory. If you have the hill and easy access to the ocean, it’s easier to earn this achievement. With the Volcanic Glacier map, there’s a small hill in the bottom corner of the map, that will have at least one Fissure on the top of the hill. I’ve seen users say that either the Tropical Region maps are easier, but I earned mine with the Volcanic Glacier map. I ended up referencing this guide to figure out how this works. This achievement was the hardest of them all to earn. Frustrating, but easier than having to restart the entire region multiple times.Īnd onto the achievements! I hope this helps!Ĭonstruct an Animal Observatory at the intersection of 4 different tier 2 biomes Or, like myself, you might mess up something and can’t undo the action, so you may need to restart the phase. Some achievements will be easier or harder depending on the map generation, so you may have to restart the region a few times to get a good map.

If you need help with those, here’s my guide Every Region’s Scan Collection List . Some achievements require finding all the animals and will be noted with an asterisk ( * ) at the start of the achievement name. Harder achievements that require some work or certain map design will be at the end of the list. The entire guide will be so that you can easily complete, with most achievements being earned by completing a milestone within the game. So thus, I decided to compile an achievement guide since I personally go for 100% achievement completion in games. Convert the rock into Lichen, build the Observatory, and the achievement should unlock.Thank you for reading this guide! I hope this helps a lot, and please let me know if there’s anything I can improve within this guide! When creating this guide, there were less than five other guides for Terra Nil.Each Rock Hopper can move a rock in a straigt line for 6 blocks. In Phase 3, use the Rock Hopper to move a rock next to the target location.Double check the adjacencies before moving onto the next phase. By the end of the phase you should have something like this. Create Kelp Forest in the ocean and complete the phase normally.Create Tundra on the highground with Biodome.Do this first to avoid burning the Tundra Create Boreal Forest on the low land with Dehumidifier and a control burn.I made a mistake here since this location is not actually adjacent to deep ocean and I had to shift the location down a block, but the rest of the guide still follows Īlternatively, you can build the Animal Observator on ice to get around the shallow ocean problem, but I found landfilling is easier The Irrigator represents the location for the Animal Observatory. To get around this, we can fill the shallow ocean with land: Make sure that there is a 2×2 location that is adjacent to deep ocean for Kelp Forest, the cliff for Tundra and some extra space for Boreal Forest and a Lichen Rock. The reason we need to do this is that the Kelp Forest biome can only be created in deep ocean. Use the Raidial Excavator to create some land next to the ocean.If there isn’t lava nearby, you can use Sesmic Detonator / Excavator / Radial Excavator to expand the lava lake In Phase 2, try to identify a location that is both near the ocean, a cliff, and preferably some lava.
