not a solution as much it is advice.
collect all the metal you see its the most needed resource(I finished the game with extra 61 organic and 77 alien) but I still need 16 metal.
fiber is the next most needed resource ( I finished with 1 extra)

also this might help

Screw this game. I made sure to be very careful and thorough when playing through the game normally, looking everywhere i could from start to chapter 8 for materials, and when i was short some i started relooking, and i kid you not, i spent over five hours inbetween reaching the final boss door and now just looking for materials, overall longer than it took me from start to reaching chapter 8. I have a fiber surplus of 17, and an alien surplus of 42, but i'm 6 organics short and 7 metal short, and i'm almost positive i've searched every non-glitched area in the game (Alien Quarry is apparently just glitched for everyone to never be able to pass again, and i can't seem to go backwords from 'the old city' either.

It feels pretty terrible to abandon a game when i'm only missing one achievement that i'm 93% done with, after 11 consecutive hours of playtime with at least 5.5 of which just being running through the same empty levels looking for 13 materials, i cna't stomach this anymore. This game is pretty poorly designed, and i can't help but believe that the person who designed the entire game and the person who added this one achievement are two different people, otherwise that person had next to no experience designing games. It take well over an hour to run through the entire game, and with no minimap, counters, or radar of any sort it's pretty terrible to have to search for this stuff. Would it really have killed the flow of the game to put in a small counter at each teleport area saying how many mats of each type out of how many you had? I don't think so.

By The Killers425 on 16 Mar 2023 14:17

Big shout out to DemonSlayer050's comment. I was short 10-20 of each resource and just doing the run from the campsite to the Alien Ruin teleporter (via Fungal Jungle) got me all the necessary resources

By Phim Phighters on 30 Dec 2021 19:47

I finished 19 organic and 4 fiber short. Came here to see if there was a stash I missed somewhere. I really messed up because I had extra metal which of supposedly harder to find but I'm short organic which everyone seems to have the most of lol

By Crazi Yeti on 30 Dec 2021 22:47

Can't find my last metal and if its in Abandoned City you can't go back there. So this guide needs updating as this is most definitely a missable achievement as is take charge if you miss it in chapter 7

By on 31 Dec 2021 01:25

Just check everywhere as you play. I got to the end with all upgrades having an extra 20 organic, 18 metal, 25 fiber, and 31 alien. There’s plenty around. Just be thorough.

By Ryn0 L on 19 Dec 2021 21:13

i need 6 organic

By xDarthWolf on 20 Dec 2021 04:22

I need 6 organic and this video is very difficult to follow as it just expects you to know where you're going. The game is awful and so is this video guide.

By GreyQuotient649 on 20 Dec 2021 16:26

There is definitely a surplus of materials in the game, but how much is hard to say. I made a concerted effort to explore, and finished with an extra 2 metal, 25 fiber, and 58 alien- and quickly found more as I did a second sweep of the campground area. Not enough organic to craft that last upgrade, naturally, but the point is that there seems to be more than enough to get the achievement if the player really makes sure to check every corner. It's not a matter of hunting down every last resource cache.

EDIT - Tracking down the last few organic I needed only took about ten minutes. I'd suggest first looking in the early areas because there may be resources you unknowingly passed up before.

By Metroidkillah on 21 Dec 2021 04:12

I agree that the guide aint amazing but its the best I could find

By ZsCSirphon on 21 Dec 2021 14:21

Need 16 organic. Got a lot of backtracking to do

By jault0202 on 23 Dec 2021 03:13

I don't know what I did wrong, but the last upgrade unlocks after I scan the Gardener, which is during the end battle. After which the game is over, so I don't know how to install this upgrade...

By onnovdw on 23 Dec 2021 10:55

This isn’t a “scan certain things” achievement as much as it is “scan a certain number of things” achievement. Namely, 54 out of 58 total scannable things.

If you are missing some scannable things getting the last recipe ~~to unlock, scan the other person and alien at your camp, the robot, and the workbench.~~

By Liekos on 23 Dec 2021 23:22

Yes, but the Gardener was my last scan (58th), so apparently the last recipe should have unlocked sooner, but it didn't... too bad...

By onnovdw on 24 Dec 2021 10:37

~~I need 3 more metal and 8 more fibre, this is just ridiculous. Spent a good hour and a half running around looking for the remaining materials.~~
1 More metal 😭

By JS92 on 24 Dec 2021 11:06

The video did help me find the last eight organic i needed for this achievement. I had missed a small area in the Ruin Gateway that gave me exactly what I was missing.

By risseless on 25 Dec 2021 03:14

@risseless I took your advice to explore Ruins Gateway and behind the monument (where I previously tried to crawl inside but was blocked by an invisible wall) I could now go in and through for some fibres and organics, needed 2 organics for my final upgrade, so thanks for the pointer 🙂👍

By dungavin on 25 Dec 2021 12:08

Thanks to the video I got enough material to upgrade my last two items.

The video could of used some more guidance, but it wasn’t that bad to follow.

By confusedgeek on 25 Dec 2021 14:59

What an annoying achievement, made worse because of the lack of any map/idea how to get back to a place you've visited before, sometimes blocking yourself from going back even once you've finished the game! I was short by 30 (!) metal - thank god for this video and 12:10 to help me find the final ones I needed (although got stuck in that area and had to push forward for ages to try find a teleporter in Deserted Mine!)
Whether I have every collectible I don't know, but I ended up after every upgrade with 25 / 13 /42 / 56 (left to right) spare parts, so there is luckily some leeway with this, but veeery little especially with the metal.

By Sparkii Electra on 25 Dec 2021 15:27

I thought I was pretty thorough checking the map, but, I still came up short 3 Organic and 5 Fiber. I do suggest going to the camp and proceeding through the jungle to the alien ruins. This area seems to have many alternate paths. Just by doing this area, I ended up with excess of 17 organic, 12 metal, & 16 fiber! And, there still was 1 more alt path that I did not explore.

By Demon Slayer050 on 26 Dec 2021 03:09

I spent more than 1 hour to find 2 more metal after finish the game. I found them in the first half of the bridge (after you clibm up tun right), before you go down to the next area (maybe Abandoned city or after that...)

By GPUPLAYER on 27 Dec 2021 17:30

Anyone have any issues with having all upgrades but stuck at 93%?

By h3rD r3dUc3r on 27 Dec 2021 23:41

If you're missing some metal like I was hopefully this helps...
Fast travel to Polluted Lake and cross the bridge. Climb the first vine to your right immediately after crossing the bridge. At the top of the vine you will see 2 giant yellow/blue plants in an inaccesible area, head this way along the path and you'll reach another climbable vine right near these 2 giant plants. Jump across and climb down, there is a metal boulder with 8 metal in it.

By EndorEwoksFC on 29 Dec 2021 04:11

Edit: I meant @Demon Slayer050 THANK YOU!!! (Couple too many Christmas cocktails) Was able to get a ton of metal doing this. The strange thing is, I’m almost certain after you beat the game there are more Jeweled Apple.

By Goots 88 on 29 Dec 2021 18:19

I needed 9 more metals and EndorEwoksFC location provided 8, then following the video, the Fungal Jungle location 5 and 6 provided the rest. Thanks!

By BRiT wtfdotcom on 29 Dec 2021 18:56

Right this might help. Spawn back to camp and go immediately right and up the red vine near where you started your journey. Get to the top turn left there's a metal pod and a few metal plants. Follow the path round and down and there's another metal pod.

By on 31 Dec 2021 01:42

It’s definitely not missable. I could swear more resources spawned after finishing the game.

By Goots 88 on 31 Dec 2021 03:11

By on 31 Dec 2021 03:31

Hello everyone, I have a question about the rest of the game after completing it .. After completing the game twice, it always returns me to the last checkpoint before the final boss (even spent an extra two hours searching all places after ending the game again and claiming no resources) ..so how can you keep playing? There are only two options to either load the last save or start a new game.

By Romario91 PL on 01 Jan 2022 18:36

Oh .. So if we miss chapter 7, we won't get the achievement and you have to count on the fact that you have to play the game a second time to get it (horny) ..

By Romario91 PL on 01 Jan 2022 18:39

Missing 4 still D= checked out the places suggested above ugh... I don't know what I am doing wrong.

By Sherlocked4evr on 02 Jan 2022 01:23

I was in the same situation as DemonSlayer050. I thought I searched pretty thoroughly but alas was short a few materials. Running from the camp to the alien ruins teleport pad I was able to snag the last few mats I needed.EndorEwoks comment also helped snag some extra metal. Those are your best bet.

By on 02 Jan 2022 10:21

It's definitely not missable. I collected nothing in chapter 7 and still was able to finish it. There are just so many secret spots I overlooked especially between the first and the second teleport spot.

By akbar06 on 03 Jan 2022 12:01

I'm short like 50 material items for the last upgrade. I tried for almost 2 hours redo my steps following tutorials and could get only 10 of them. I'm done, less 50G and 1 game that I didn't complete 100%.

By OLEOIZZO on 03 Jan 2022 16:19

One I just found that is kid of out of the way imo. The Old City beacon has 5 metal and 5 fiber right near the beacon itself. Go to the other side of the tree and look up the ancient ramp with the train car on it. There is a 5 metal up there and then a 5 fiber down below it.

By UraMallas on 04 Jan 2022 01:36

found my missing organic and fibre near the start of the abandoned city. some yellow small mushrooms wind around a pillar leading to a red vine. at the top is metal organic and fibre. boom done

By Ultramarine360 on 06 Jan 2022 11:19

Será se jogar o jogo denovo é só pegar a melhoria que falta nao libera a conquista ?

By LeozinhoNNZT on 07 Jan 2022 00:04

Need three more metal for this, backtracked over every section, wildly frustrating. This game is not designed to easily revisit previous areas at all.

By SilentBotts on 09 Jan 2022 02:36

Is there anyway back to the gardeners studio? I can’t get the lift to come back down

By SideKick Dan on 10 Jan 2022 09:01

No guide needed, there is lot of materials in all chapters, except 7 and included 8. I pop up with a lot of extra materials. Good luck

By Gooztavo on 10 Jan 2022 22:00

Ugh. I need 1 more alien material. I have to start a new play through because I’m missing 1 damn alien material.

By EnslavedChris on 15 Jan 2022 06:42

7:35 in the video helped me with organic and fiber I needed. Now I just need 17 more metal 😓

EDIT: Ok, done with plenty to spare. If people are waiting to finish the game before getting this achievement then don't. Going into the last area will get you a heap of resources and will still let you get back out assuming you don't go in too far (although by the sounds of it you can keep playing after you have finished)

By YTN3rd on 16 Jan 2022 07:13

Seen some questions about accessing the last level again. The final fast travel point appears right before the last boss arena. You can't really get anywhere from this section though (lift doesn't go down). You can, however, re-enter the lower area later on by using fast travel and crossing the bridge again. Takes a while to get there but certainly do-able. I'm still trying to work out how to get back to Desolate Valley - I'm short of 2 organics and think I missed some there.

By the life of pom on 27 Jan 2022 12:46

I was missing 3 metal and I thought I had got them all
I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRG5lo6fMFI and followed it (at 2x speed lol) and found the missing metal I needed. It was outside the exit to the northern mountain pass in the polluted pool area
The Video is a 100% walkthrough that collects all the materials

By Chocobots on 06 Feb 2022 04:00

Here is how I manage to pass the bridge bug level, so I could backtrack to another teleport and finish the game with all resources to get all upgrades achievement.

By FelipeTardivo on 09 Feb 2022 17:12

Where to find alien resources by the end of the game?

By EstocoImo on 15 Feb 2022 23:01

Not sure how people don't get this. Teleported and crafted once I got outside the boss room, no backtracking, had 10/16/31/42 spare materials

By thatNoseyParker on 18 Feb 2022 22:31

Enjoyed the game for the most part but getting to the last teleport spot, going through the map and mopping any missing scans up, then realising I am still 5 organic matter short and it's entirely likely they can not actually be found has left a bad taste. Game should be patched with either resources on map once you reach a certain point or respawning materials.

By Tannersarms on 22 May 2022 19:38

Quick advice: Turn the brightness on the game up to full. This helped me massively.

5 hours to complete the game, thought I was being quite thorough in checking everything but short 16 metal and a few fibers and organics. The latter two were easy to find (evidently I wasn't thorough enough) but the metals were a pain. Thank goodness for this guide as those at 12.10 pushed me over the top after another 2.5 hours searching!

By NatorDom on 11 Jul 2022 09:04

EDIT — looks like enough info in the other comments , will try again later …

Maybe a very stupid question but it seems to me that a lot of the game is kind of “locked” after finishing the first playthrough and continue from the last save. The elevators I used in the later levels are all gone , i guess they are on the top levels. But is there a way to get them down and working again? Most of them don’t have that “eye” anymore that you need to shoot and even the ones that are there don’t work. I tried going back but most of the levels are blocked by jumps that are just out of reach so no way to return to a level before the warp points.

By Sol76 on 31 Aug 2022 18:56

Just got this yesterday, and as a guideline, you should have almost all of your upgrades before the end of chapter 6 (i.e. entering the garden), or else you'll need to backtrack. I had all but one upgrade unlocked and some resources to spare, but still barely managed to scrape enough resources together. Final tally was spare 2 ordanics, 4 metal, 55 fiber and 52 alien, so my advice is to keep an eye out for organics and metal...

By Anders1983 on 30 Nov 2022 08:48

The devs of this game will never see this, but achievements like this spoil the game for me. Instead of enjoying the story, exploring, and getting the most out of the gameplay, I'm reduced to scanning for sparkly pixels and/or using a guide. Terrible design.

By PsiScream on 17 Dec 2022 15:47

To be fair to the above guys point all the resources in this game are in every area you visit. They are not hard to miss and you should end up with a surplus before getting to the end. If however you do miss some just load the checkpoint, warp to the camp and walk through the areas again and spot the few "hidden" resources in forked paths or up vines. Anyone who has played a handful of games should know where the collectables will usually be located. Also despite what the guide says none of these achievements are missable.

By ChArG1nMaLAZ0R on 01 Jan 2023 18:12

If you’re having trouble finding your way back to the gardeners studio for the lab table scan. Go to old city beacon, looking at open gate take right tunnel before entering the gate. A statue is there, go to the right of the statue, follow the vines down into the cave, hop onto the swing bridge, go left jump up, go forward around to right bend passing giant mushrooms on your left, jump on swing bridge, go past giant robot head on left, hop up turn right at red symbol, pass the stone head blocking your path on left, go to rock with blue squid lantern fungus flower, jump over it land onto the moving x ruin swing bridge, jump onto land with flowers, this is the room with lab table so scan it.

By aholywad on 12 Jan 2023 23:20

I was so angry thinking I wouldn't be able to get the Lab table. Thank you aholywad you are a life saver.

By neocringer on 16 Jan 2023 01:02

I genuinely have played through this game twice now for this achievement and still cannot find enough material.

Unless I'm being stupid, I cannot find anywhere I haven't been yet

By Law Ram on 30 Jan 2023 22:39

Video helped. Thanks.

By GhostJohn325 on 10 Mar 2023 10:03

HOLY CRAP. I was 7 metal short for so, so long, but i took the mushrooms that you grow in camp in chapter 7 or so (Which i thought i'd already taken) where you then use the fans to turn the platform, and in 5 minutes i found 13 materials. I recommend checking there 'abandoned city' if you're short on metal

By The Killers425 on 17 Mar 2023 11:56

I think it's actually some kind of alternate bath of some sort, but i'm not really sure where it splits off. Just take the mushrooms from camp that go over the river, and watch otu for a split trail

By The Killers425 on 17 Mar 2023 11:57

How many upgrades are there?

By napoearth on 29 Mar 2023 19:59

I came up short on the crafting materials (I wasn't aware there was such a scarce margin for error). For me, I found all the materials I was missing between the initial campsite and the 2nd beacon. Just try to be as thorough as you can and check EVERY POSSIBLE SIDE PATH!

By Zen Vendetta on 10 Apr 2023 15:25

I came up short on metal and fibers. There were a couple singles I had to search for, but the most helpful bits were the plant mentioned by EndorEwoksFC above, and the few plants (one still hidden under debris) mentioned by Almonide above.

By MasterCheeks117 on 14 Apr 2023 05:16

EndorEwoksFC I could kiss you

By ChewieOnIce on 06 May 2023 21:57

I was missing 1 (yes, one) Organic that I wasted the better part of an hour looking for. It was actually in the cave system of the Campsite area, of all places.

I will reiterate what others have already said: if you find you're still missing a few resources, start by thoroughly exploring the early game areas (specifically the campsite and the forest shortly after). These have tons of well-hidden resources; chances are you missed quite a few when initially passing through without realizing it.

By Valiant Phoenix on 20 Jul 2023 16:44

I had already found the metal boulder EndorEwoksFC said, but following his location method, if you then travel along further through the cave with the loading screen, then at the next section, climb up with the vine when you jump over a little section you had to blow up metal, further up again there’s the hanging explosive where you had to use to open the climbing vine again, standing there look to the left and you’ll see 2 metal plant things, but also an explodable metal scrap pile and behind that is also an 8 metal tree, so 10 missable metal right there- which helped me as I was 9 down. Then to help with the location I’m talking about, further ahead after you jump up is a gardener statue where you head right through another “loading” cave where you’re then back above the bridge you originally ran over so can head back over the bridge to the portal you came through, to go back to camp and craft that final missing upgrade! :)

By Burke By Nature on 23 Jul 2023 09:58

Is it possible to get back into the room where you find Heri? Pretty sure I missed some stuff there and I am missing 8 metal

By Corwin613 on 01 Jan 2024 18:08

@EndorEwoksFC That metal location was not shown in the video and helped me get the last few metal I was missing after following the video. Thanks a million!

By DoomScott on 29 May 2024 09:04

A comment on YouTube by a user named Lukas helped me find the last 13 metal in the Garden:

maybe that helps you out. I went back to the garden (last chapter). In the room where you had to clear the gunk with the exploding fruit and the moving platform there are two metal crystals underneath some debree at the bottom, one ore with five metals on one side and one of those plants with 8 metals

By Almonide on 31 Dec 2021 01:29

ugh missing 7 metal and I've gone back through what feels like the whole game. ~~Is there any materials I'll get once I go passed the final beacon to the gardner boss fight?~~

EndorEwoksFC!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing where you found the last metal you needed. That got me the last 7 I needed. I originally got to the end of the game needing 68 metal, I had enough of everything else lol. I went back through pretty much the whole game and found all but 7. Thanks again for sharing that find!

By local bellboy on 13 Jan 2022 03:52

Useful video, my missing metal was on the North pass, not sure how I missed it as I thought I was pretty thorough! The path was downhill so not visible unless you happened to turn around under the exploding fruit for no reason.

By Legohead 1977 on 10 Feb 2022 10:36

To get to the Abandoned City at 14:30 start at Campsite, go down the hill and across the mushrooms. Go through Garden Trail to eventually arrive at Abandoned City. I found 5 Organic in there to finally finish at 2/15/47/55 spare materials after installing the 16th upgrade.

By LausDomini on 22 Feb 2022 07:10

Thanks this video helped a lot. I was very cautious about trying to look in nooks for materials the entire time I played and I still needed to backtrack to find 17 metal at the end of the game. Took about an extra hour or more. Was def annoying.

Two words of warning: this achievement is 100% missable as it doesn't appear you can get additional alien material from the final checkpoint. If you don't get enough alien materials, you gotta play entire game again. For that reason I would be sure to collect all the purple alien blobs and unlock the perk that drops more alien pieces. I only had about 15 alien parts left over after the game.

Second tip I have is obvious, but make sure to collect all the resources from the plants that you explode. Once you explode it that plant won't respawn and if you leave the area the materials will vanish. Because of that aspect, it is also possible to not be able to collect the rest of the materials too, not just the alien parts.

This is probably not the solution you are looking for but it can still possibly help you. For crafting all upgrades you have to find nearly all resources in the game and you have to scan 54/58 objects to obtain the "blueprints" for the upgrades. To find all these things can be sometimes difficulty.
I have created a video which show you from start to the end of the game all scans, all resources (enough to craft all upgrades. At the end I have 25 Organic, 29 Metal, 55 Fiber and 77 Alien resources more as needed) and all missable achievements.

If you follow the video along your playthrough you will obtain all achievements. On Youtube in the description and pinned comment you can find the entire really long detailed timeline with timestamps for scans / resources and achievements.

If you have any question, ask :)

There are 16 upgrades to craft in the game; however, they are not available immediately. The ability to purchase upgrades unlocks based on how many scannable objects you find (See Space Archaeologists (50G)). You will need to scan 54 of the games 58 scannable objects to unlock every upgrade avaialble to purchase.

Each upgrade requires you to return to your campsite and access your workbench. They also require materials to purchase them (Organic, Metal, Alien, and Fiber). The Organic, Metal, and Fiber materials can be found in various plants in the environment. Throughout the game, make sure to search every nook and cranny to find hidden materials and loot caves. The game offers a surplus of these materials, so you don't need to entirely scoure the map, but you will still need to be persceptive as you progress through each area. The Alien material is dropped by enemies you defeat.

This guide was translated automatically.

at the last level, you collect the last ingredients. (There will be enough of them there) Before the final boss there will be a teleport to the camp, no need to backtrack back to the camp through the entire tower.
After the achievement I still have 20204050 regs left.
So don't worry too much.

Before the final boss, there was 24 metal missing for the final upgrade. I had to run around the locations and find the missing ingredients. Therefore, during the passage, try to examine every corner. By the way, even after beating the game, you can load a save with a save before the final boss and finish off the achievement if something happens.

By He4d_mech4n1c on 09 Jan 2022 15:19

I didn’t have enough resources for exactly 1 improvement, and if all sorts of plants were quickly found by rerunning the first location, then I had to run around with metal. And then I found that when we clear the tower, 3 piles of metal open on it - 2 along the length and 1 at the bottom, from where we will go down. This really helped me a lot.
