How to unlock the Wubba, lubba, dub, dub! achievement in Surviving Mars - Definitive Guide

I was at the end game with a heap of domes (5 mega), infrastructure etc ... and I was thinking "Surely I must be close to getting this". So I decided to build a bunch of small solar panels as a test to see whether the small solar building counted towards the total, it did. Had to build a heap to achieve the 1,000 buildings total:

Perfect solution! Hold down Left Trigger and just mash the A button to build a bunch.

Does it have to be all in one game, or is it cumulative?

You can see how many buildings you've built from the Command Center (LT menu) Go to buildings and make sure you select entire colony at the top and enable all types on the left and it'll tell you the total number of buildings at the top.

This popped for me at aroun 940 buildings so theres either some buildings that are aren't counted in the Command Center or the achievement is glitched in a good way :D

It's glitchy. I had 1030 buildings for 5 SOLs, and nothing. finally popped at 1038.

The spamming of the waste rock dumping sites.... brilliant!

I found a really simple way to do this is by simply just placing a lot of small dumping sites...its cost efficient as it costs nothing and is instant to place

In a late game run, build a ton of Small Solar Panels as they only cost 0.8 metal.

This achievement unlocked for me when the in game command menu stated I had 603 building although I did have a bunch of ghost solar panels placed down ready to be built. So it may not be necessary to actually construct 1000 buildings.

I would recommend doing this in a long game to get the miscellaneous trophies. I got it naturally but if you don't you can just build solar panels, wind turbines or sterling generators to get it. I had 25 domes and a population over 3,000 when I got this, so if you're not planning to basically play the game out as far as it'll go you will likely need to build some spare buildings to get it.

I do believe it's buildings built, not buildings standing. I unlocked this during a period of tearing down a couple basic domes to replace them with mega domes and this popped while putting buildings into one of the mega domes and I'm fairly certain I was still at a net negative from the tear down.

You must build 1000 buildings in a single playthrough. The easiest way is to build Solar Panels which only cost 0.8 Metals each when you've reached the endgame while having the Mohole Main wonder built which gives you endless supply of Metals.

The best way to build small solar panels is not to connect them to the network.

Map 13N 114E, it is absolutely flat, you can get into any sector without tunnels. On this map there is a breakthrough “Superconducting Computers” that turns excess energy into science points. A deep surface scan is required.
There are practically no cold weather on this map, but there are dust storms every 10-20 sols. To reduce dust, he built domes and filled them with solar panels. For one thing, I opened all the research.

It’s even easier to build charging pads for drones; they require the least amount of metal; they don’t have to be connected to the network, but it’s necessary for the drones to complete the buildings
