How to unlock the Going Green achievement in The Riftbreaker - Definitive Guide

So I’m posting this in Going Green and also in Walk in the Park.

These two can be easily cheezed and completed in about 45 min. Just recommended that you have played through campaign first as it’s a fun game.

For the setup, chose Survival and then Custom Difficulty in the Tropical Zone.
In options for custom
Enemy damage factor 1%
Resource volume factor Pump this to 250% or higher
Research cost 5%
Building cost 1%
Building time multiplier 1%
Items dropped after death 0
Wave Interval duration 00:30:00
Game duration 00:30:00
Warmup duration 00:15:00 This can be shorter but longer is easier
Attacks per wave multiplier 1.0
Map size 4 X 4
Gravity Scale 100%
Time of day mode continuous
Enemy wave Strength Easy

When you drop in find a good place to start near some Carbonium. Build the HQ, all the harvesters and then spam those solar panels and wind farms as you’re nearly building almost for free. Protect the base with some nearly free turrets and walls. REMEMBER NO CARBONIUM POWERPLANTS.

Once you build the Laboratory research buildings first and then weapons. Main buildings are the improved harvesters, better green energy and then defenses. Only need 1-2 carbonium and 1 iron zones to harvest as you’ll only be using it to develop your own weapons.

Heads up with upgraded buildings! If you hold down LT as you build them, then they can be built to the highest level available. Considerably faster than building lv 1 and then upgrading to lv 3.

I preferred the Minigun and Power Fist as the Minigun tears up at high ammo cost for range and the Power Fist can Stun and regenerates damage. Upgrades get the Reflective Armor and Titanium Machinery to move faster,

Skill setup I used was Instant Repair, Small Mine, Gravity Mine, Grenade, Radar Pulse, Emergency Explosion, Sentry Gun and Nuclear Mine. Swap out the mines and Grenades for your preferred play style.

Build up plenty of Defenses, have a Geothermal plant if you want, double up on repair towers near the corners and main buildings, get plenty of Tower Ammo and prepare for the horde at 30 min as it’s slightly less intense than the attacking horde you experience in the campaign. After the timers run down and if your base survives you’ll complete it and get the 2 achievements at the same time.

Can you use batteries?

I did exactly this, and didn't get the Achievement. Only thing I can think of is that I used the batteries 🤔

I used plenty of batteries. Had about 400Kish of energy storage. But no Nuke, Gas, Carbonium or Fusion power plants. Only a few Plant, one Geothermal, but a ton of Solar and Wind. Also used 1 uranium condenser to get building materials from a uranium ore place I used.

Just tried it - and didn't get the achievement. Just wind and solar, lots of batteries, but no chievo.

I don't think you can use a battery.
I got it first try, nothing but wind and geo.
The wind never drops below 100% with these settings. So you just need a lot to get started byt once they get to level 2 or 3, it's a cakewalk. Besides two towers can hold off an entire horde at 1% damage

Also got it on my first try just like GR34TD3STR0Y3R. Only used wind and geo without batteries. Placed a few outposts at the boarders to intercept the hordes and waited the final attack out. Didn't use my one weapons much, so you don't really need them, but just in case some sneak by.

Pretty obvious what to do here.
If you ask yourself the same question that I did:
Yes, you may combine the mentioned sources of power. I did it all with wind and geothermal. Helps to upgrade the wind turbines to level 2 as soon as you finish the research…

With Cultivators and Harvesters you can go all Biomass by mid game. That makes you immune to wind and solar issues. You just need a big area to run them.

Is there another way to get plasma than the fusion reactor? Or is it allowed to build that one?
