So, I followed the walkthrough almost exactly, including starting a new map to build the propeller city. After the city I did the tower, then a second tower. This put my blocks at 500+. For no particular reason, I decided to start a new map AGAIN. 514 blocks later (Should have been over 1000), no achievement. So, I continued. I paused at 999 blocks on the map itself, the instant I dropped 1 more block it popped.

tldr ~ this is not a cumulative achievement for placing 1000 blocks, but rather having 1000 blocks placed on the map at one time. if you clear your map or start over, you need to place 1000 blocks.

Edit ~ If you have the menu open, the same one you used to turn on the grid, you will have a running tally of blocks under the 'Undo" button. This caps at 999. You can still place more, it just doesn't count beyond that.

You can also hold down the A button. Sometimes it will stop, but just press and hold it down again. Speeds things up.

If you are playing this on PC, I set a keyboard button as a Macro which holds down the Mouse button and repeats every 0/ms so I got this in about 15 seconds after doing the other achievements

This is cumulative actually. I built a town (actually did a town, see long code in forum) and I put a lot of effort into it. Closed the game. Came back and reloaded the map and built the skyscraper and did some other building and the achievement unlocked. But, for this to work, you have to use the SAME grid you were working on. If you get a new grid and start over, the counter will reset.

It didn't unlock for me either, I had built my sky tower, and kept adding to it to the point that it stopped showing the black support beams for the structures that weren't stacked. I started a new game and did the tap A and rapidly move around method. 1000 A taps later it unlocked. btw you're right, this is by far the easiest Game Pass completion.

Holding A doesn’t work on XB1. While you’re spamming the A button, though, you can press the MENU button to see the number of “undo” steps available (in the right-hand menu), and the achievement will pop when that number reaches “999”.😊

After you’ve unlocked all the other achievements, all that needs to be done to earn this is to keep moving analog-left.png around while holding button-a.png to place blocks all over the place (if it stops placing, just press and hold button-a.png again, or keep spamming it). It doesn’t matter where you place them, as long as they appear. Do this until the achievement unlocks.

Note: If you press button-menu.png, you can determine how many blocks you’ve placed by looking at the ‘Undo’ selection.
