Savanna Biome Needs balance

[LZBerry]

The very first biome is very well balance and I suppose was invested the most but when I get to Savanna biome I cannot get perfect score of any maps what so ever. I can easily get to 1 star or 2 stars to any of the savanna maps but it's impossible to get 3 starts. Feels like there's some kind of heavy RNG on what cards get populated and it's impossible to generate enough 12 slot preserve near the end.
Also when will we be getting achievements? I don't want to push too far from the game knowing that I won't be triggering any achievements and had to re-do previous levels.

Hello LZBerry!

All biome top scores are designed in a way to be obtainable without heavy RNG. The trick in Savanna is to fully utilize the scaling freshwater adjacency bonus. Once you build a Stilt Hut, a 24+ tile river (and 6+ tile lake) provides +7 points to neighboring habitat tiles.

Achievements will be done in upcoming months, once we know we won't be adjusting score goal numbers.

Cheers.

I am struggling so hard on the Savannah biome

A 24 tile river?! I thought 18 was pushing it... But you cannot extend a river once built, right?

Edit: ah, elsewhere it says you can merge/extend rivers. Hadn't tried that. Will give it a go!

yes you can either extend from the end (the end slot), or you can merge from an other high mountain origin into the existing river(you can't merge to the end slot).

Hey I just finished the game. Great game! Though I did have couple crushes and glitches. I also lost my saves but all good I'm pretty sure I will replay all levels when achievements come out. I just hope I won't lose my saves and records at future versions.
Again! Very good game! I have never played a relaxing game like this ever! Especially the marine biome OMG amazing I always love ocean animals!

Thank you! We're really glad you liked the game!
we'll definitely be improving the saving system during early access. We'll also be adding new content (biomes, challenges), so stay tuned! :)
