Terra Nil: Easiest Way to Get “Perfect Placement” Achievement

Choose the Desolate Island map

Do the usual cleanups – right now it does not really matter where you’re aiming for, just get to stage 2. Of course, this is way easier on the easy mode of the game.

At stage 2, its time to do the climate cleanup – to get rains and to clean the rest of the map (and for additional points if needed).

At this stage, you can start to choose where you want the perfect placement to occur.

For this map, I decided to have it at the bottom, and so I avoid making all the biomes in that area so as not to mess it up while getting to Stage 3.

Even better, the placement of the jungle is a straight line and allows for one side to be jungle.

Showing you where I want the perfect placement to be

Putting biomes in the rest of the map to get to Stage 3 without affecting the Southern part where we shall get the achievement

At this point I build a beach, which covers another side of the place to put the Animal Observatory (2 down, 2 to go!)

I build a random building on the spot to “reserve” the space, and to prevent the other biomes from overwriting it.

Placing wetlands down – 3 down 1 to go!

AND THE TRICK OF THIS – wetlands and mangroves are different biomes! No more messing around with the damn corals or rock hopping tundra stones or kelp forest cliffs.

Converting some of the wetlands to mangroves (its really easy because u can choose where to place it and make sure that one block beside the reserved space remains as wetlands.

Proof of concept

Now all you need to do is use a recycler to remove the building you placed.

Put the animal observatory down… (this DOES NOT WORK if you put it before getting all 4 biomes!)

Congrats! You’ve got the achievement!

Enjoy and have a great day folks!
