How to unlock the Arctic Expansion achievement in Aven Colony - Definitive Guide

Focus initially on upgrading your construction drones and getting two iron mines and nanite processers built. Next build immigration centers to boost your colonists. Make it an objective to have at least 2-3 prior to entering Sol 2.

Continue to expand towards the geothermal vents and the fertile land building power plants and farms ensuring all the colonists are employed and happy. You should aim to have at least 5 immigration Centers prior to Sol 3 to maximize incoming colonists. The hardest part, will be to make sure colonist don't boot you out during the Referendum year if they are not satisfied with your reckless immigration tactics. With your colony so spread apart be sure to have sufficient air purifying and police; parks can give you the extra boost to moral you might need.

Two games in a row now, I've had 400 people going into Sol 4 and not gotten the achievement.. Is this one bugged to or am I doing something wildly wrong?

Thanks for the tips. I used polymath drone/miner and this was easier than a lit if the story-based challenges.

Was having issues getting this to unlock. Made a save at 320 colonists, relaunched the game, and it popped next time I hit 350 in sol 4.
Thanks!

Extra tip: set immigration centres to max fill so that you get 9 immigrants per dropship. Let the newcomers fill up the other jobs. Means you're a bit stretched for cash at the start but that soon turns itself around. Also building loads of hovercar stations (or building housing at each job spot) keeps the morale in the green.

Pretty easy. Got the achievement at the beginning of Sol 3.
Another small tip: When you start the game, pick the Politician perk if you fear losing the referendum.
It's definitely not necessary though.
Pause the game as often as you can. Build only stuff you really need and complete mission objectives as they will get you a lot of free Nanites. Fill your most important buildings (Iron Mine, Nanite Processor and Immigration Center) and try to expand your base to get at least one more Iron Mine to quicken things up.

You can make this easier by doing a speedrun on Cakewalk and taking note of all the objectives, then starting a new game on Normal and focusing on keeping everyone happy.

Not as difficult a trophy as it might seem. The main thing is to build 5-6 spaceports as early as possible and make sure that there is always enough housing.

The main thing is not how many immigration centers you build, but how many people will work in them - after all, the number of workers determines how many migrants the shuttle brings in one flight. For example, the very first center needs to be built literally in the first three buildings and immediately filled with workers to the maximum - in this case, from the very first minutes of the mission you will receive 9 people from orbit for each flight. As the colony grows, it is enough to build 2-3 more immigration centers, but also with the maximum number of workers.
