"Perfect Location" Achievement

"Perfect Location" requires to have an Animal Observatory be adjacent to different tier 2 biomes, which are the required 4 biomes in stage 2. Note that the Animal Observatory is a 2x2 building and elevation difference doesn't affect the achievement. It's easier to unlock on since the Lichen biome is much easier to move around with the Rocker Hopper.

Complete Phase 1 normally;
In Phase 2, try to identify a location that is both near the ocean, a cliff, and preferably some lava. If there isn't lava nearby, you can use Sesmic Detonator / Excavator / Radial Excavator to expand the lava lake;
Use the Raidial Excavator to create some land next to the ocean. The reason we need to do this is that the Kelp Forest biome can only be created in deep ocean. To get around this, we can fill the shallow ocean with land:
Make sure that there is a 2x2 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 Irrigator represents the location for the Animal Observatory. 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;
Alternatively, you can build the Animal Observator on ice to get around the shallow ocean problem, but I found landfilling is easier;
Create Boreal Forest on the low land with Dehumidifier and a control burn. Do this first to avoid burning the Tundra;
Create Tundra on the highground with Biodome. It will not override the Boreal Forest;
Create Kelp Forest in the ocean and complete the phase normally. By the end of the phase you should have something like this. Double check the adjacencies before moving onto the next phase.
In Phase 3, use the Rock Hopper to move a rock next to the target location. Each Rock Hopper can move a rock in a straigt line for 6 blocks.
Convert the rock into Lichen, build the Observatory, and the achievement should unlock.

needs update for 2024, there is no observatory

I stumbled over following facts: 1) Above 35% humidity you can't create any more Tundra. Be aware of the humidity level while completing Phase 1. 2) Convert the rock into Lichen after using the Rock Hopper, the Rock Hopper sets back the coating.

Tried about 4 times but in the end, as Derg mentioned. The building should be the last thing to place not the lichen or any other biome. So once done. Just recycle the building and re-add it. Worked for me.

Thank you

it doesnt work for me. nor 2x2x2x2 sides from every side, with tundra on the hill + nor with 2x2x1x1 while tundra is on the same level as the observatory, im so mad at this bs achievwment

The first use of the Radial Excavator will remove the ground, moving it with the Monorail ability will activate the second use, add floor

Having trouble getting this to pop. Followed this guide and also tried in the tropical area, nothing. Recycled everything and re-placed, still no pop. Does each side have to be it's own biome? That's the only thing I can think of.

I've tried this method and found that for me at least, it's easier to get this achievement in the tropical zone. Because the hydroponium will create both mangrove forests and wetlands, you will always have 2 biomes near each other. If you start with the tropical forest, and then add the hydroponium and beach, you should be able to arrange the biomes to get a spot where you are touching all 4

+Chrome Use the Monorail ability on the Radial Excavator

How do you create land using an excavator? It's not allowing me to do it
