Water tile acheivement problem and rainbow puzzle relevance

[purple&green2023]

So, I kinda have a dilemma and hoping I can get some help.

I have an issue where I can't complete the rainbow and mushroom puzzle because I only have 3 muchrooms spawned in that Island. I've tried destroying and building and etc there and left it clear but only 3 mushroom are there. So I have no idea how to complete this challenge. If I can even do so.

Which is probably the cause of another issue. I want to get the full every water tile acheivement and I have filled every water tile and made sure the last tile I added is a landfill, I even removed my lighthouses and oil drill for this but nothing works. The only part with water is where the rainbow would be, I think that's the reason at this point.

So I want to know. Is there anyway I can get rid of the rainbow, how can I have all the mushroom spawned or get rid of the rainbow so I can get this acheivement? Thank you in advance

You can't get rid of the rainbow (and there's actually a good reason for this, which I only figured out because that was the only water left for me and I needed something...), and the water tiles under it do not count as far as the building on all water tiles feat is concerned. (ETA: The same is true of all water tiles underneath pre-placed buildings. If you can't cover it because, for example, the fountain or druid house is on top of it, you're fine, those ones don't count.) You're probably missing one behind a building or something. If you're still stuck, look up the "secret settings" guide, there's a setting there that will point out where the uncovered water tiles are.

As for the mushrooms, try activating the remaining ones to reset the puzzle. If that doesn't reset all of them, then you're probably not going to be able to complete it. I'm not entirely certain what you meant by destroying and building there, but... if you put anything on top of the mushrooms or otherwise destroyed them or the land that they're on, then they're probably gone for good, and the puzzle will remain unsolvable.

Thank you for the secret settings tip. I managed to realise that I had 1 missing tile left in the back of a building. It gave me the acheivement!

I meant that I destroyed any machines that i created on that island to see if they'll pawn but if their gone for good then that's that...
