Perfect location achievement bugged?

[Rdy2Run]

Hello everyone,

I'm missing the last achievement "perfect location". I tried it on tropical. To the left, the back and the right side the animal observatory was touching 3/4 biomes with 2 tiles each. To the front it was touching the underwater biome with 1 field in between. From my understanding the underwater biome cant be directly adjacent to the land tile.

It did not work for me.
Anyone knows a good way to share the screenshot?

If you have Steam overlay active, press F12 (or your set key), go back to Steam or your profile -> content, then upload the screenshot(s) and get the link through share. Then just paste the link in here.

I think it might be possible. You can build a sand island out from the shore next to the coral reef. Also, when you place the observatory on this sand island and then recycle it you end up with a square of grass. Perhaps this could be exploited?

Good thinking, but doesn't seem to work:

Looking at that, it looks like you're touch Coral, Mangrove, and Grass; not sure if the diagonal Jungle counts. Either way, not enough biomes - Grass is a Tier 1 biome. For this map you'd need to be touching Beach, Coral, Mangrove, and Jungle.

If that was originally Beach under the building, it doesn't count. Placing a building converts the terrain under it to Fertile Earth.

It's not grass, there's mangrove, jungle, coral and sand under the observatory. But maybe the sand won't count because it's under and not adjacent.

Maybe 'Tier 2' refers to 'a biome created under ideal conditions'?

[Rhapsody]

Even this won't do.

Maybe artificial beach islands won't work. So it should just come down to spamming irrigators and scrubbers in a way that you get just the right amount of mangrove and beach where jungle can exist close enough to coral reefs.

Recommend doing it in the flooded city, so you don't have to mess around with beaches and artificial islands:

Maybe it doesnt work with the coral biome. I will give your flooded city version a try. The lagoon does touch the observatory for sure.

Tropical is easiest. Coral can’t be adjacent due to where it’s located. What you are looking for is Jungle, Beach, Mangroves, and Wetlands. They need to occupy one of the 8 directly adjacent squares, diagonals don’t count.

Pretty sure sand from the artificial island is just Sand, not the Beach biome you need.

Thanks for that. I hadn't realised that wetland counted as tier two.

Yeah, it is definitely bugged, I tried it multiple times, but it is not triggering. I thought maybe, the biomes have to be ideal, but even with ideal tropical forest, ideal wetland, ideal beach and ideal mangroves, it is not working, also tried the with corals instead of wetland. In the polar region, it was also not working.

Finally got it after several attempts.
So far, I understand that you have to get at least 1 contact square of the level 2 biomes - including a coastal square of the water level 2 biome - alonside the animal observatory.
I don't know if that include the squares in diagonal or not.

On my screenshot (city), this is the patch of grass 2x2, where was the animal observatory.
1. Sunflowers biome
2. Bamboo biome
3. Forest & Lagune biome regardless, as they can grow in undisputed place (buildings & water).
