How to unlock the The Scholar achievement in State of Decay: Year-One - Definitive Guide

This is an achievement from the BREAKDOWN campaign of State of Decay

These are the requirements that need to be researched. Remember that when you advance in levels, your challenge progress will be reset. Make sure you complete this within the same level*.

You can research items at the library and therefore you will need to build one. These can take several hours to research, so it is better to complete this early on in the game.

1. Research Greenhouse Gardening
2. Research Biodiesel
3. Research Potent Homemade Stims
4. Research Box Mine
5. Research Chemical Incendiaries
6. Research Whistling Box Mine
7. Research Pipe Bomb
8. Research Steel Pipe Bomb (yes, there's two types of pipe bombs)

In order to get the option to research specific things, you will need to upgrade your buildings. Lab for medicine. Workshop will need to be upgrade for both paths to unlock all the explosives.

RECOMMENDATIONS

since this requires upgraded buildings, I would suggest doing this at the same time as the challenage for upgrading all buildings to their max.

I would also say you should do this BEFORE leaving level 3.


Finish all of these and the hero - Charley Marshall, a uselss hero will appear.

*note - it has been stated in the 360 version that these could be done across all levels. I cannot confirm this since I did all at level 3. If anyone can confirm, i will edit the solution.

Is anyone having a problem when they research some of the things it is not counting it? Or is that just me I have restarted multiple times and it only counts certain ones.

Did you move to a certain house for this? Like warehouse? My starter house is small and I had to build sleeping area, medical area and the rest is pre built..

yes - they can be done at all levels - since they each take, what, 4 hours, I spread them across levels and the achievement popped just fine.

If you check your progress in the menu for the challenges then the research ones carry over between levels.

640 minutes since they are all 1hr:20min each. 10.5hours of it. I started this on level 3. Good to know they carry over. Gonna stay in level three.

Side note: You can continuously have 2-3 followers with you after they decide they want to join your group. Just drive by "do not" stop and the items will be deposited while the members are still in the car.

I tried doing this Breakdown 3+ and it was just a big waste of time do this in breakdown 1 it is extremely easy you can afk the entire thing without worrying about zeds overrunning your base and killing everyone which is what happen to me play in breakdown 1 when you get this good solution

QUESTION: Do all of these have to be done at the same time?

My home base doesn't have room for a library, 2 workshops, and a garden.
Can I research the garden and then replace it for a different workshop?

Here's a little glitch I have found in this game, if you completely restart or unplug your xbox, and start your xbox offline, you can change the xbox time on the console. This is helpful to know, because when you are researching everything in the lab, it will keep track using the xbox time, and if you decide to put your time forward on the xbox, it will skip to the time you had put. I have saved a lot of hours doing this one method, and it worked like a charm.

you can replace anything in your home base to get this achievement, and it will still unlock after getting your last item.

You need to do them all in one Breakdown level (don't move out with the camping car). When you do change level, you lose all your progress for the research and you lose track of all building you max out. You have to finish them all before moving out.
Also, there is a bug (Steam version, State of Decay vanilla) for a research project (in my case, Researching Chemical Incendiaries) if you have a built-in shop in the base camp you're in (in my case, I coulnd't do this research in Snyder Trucking Warehouse because of the built-in workshop).
