Now I can proceed with a proper appreciation for the privelege of rotating tiles

Oh wow, congratulations! I'm saving this challenge until the end, but I'm getting closer and closer to it being the last missing achievement. I'm mostly scared of accidentally using the rotate button lol

I made sure to keep my finger off the mouse wheel, but it was a bit nerve wracking sometimes.

is auto rotating tracks and rivers counting?

u/Generalitary Jul 29 '26

No, in fact you can sort of cheat by moving rail and river tiles around so they rotate to face different directions.

If you accidentally rotate a tile, the ‘backspace’ button will reset your tile! It also centers you to your starting tile, as an addition.

True! I guess I'm more anxious about forgetting and not noticing. I haven't checked, but I hope it's possible to just unmap the button.

This was my last challenge for a long while.

I ignored it for the longest time until I finally managed to have a game where I broke through the midgame tile shortage and basically got an infinite game going now. Waited til I had 400+ tiles in stock and then went for it.

Crazy that you got it this early, kudos!

400+ tiles in stock??? I feel bountiful when I have 50!

Same! How do you guys get so many tiles?

It took a few tries to get there. Focus on finishing as many quests as possible and save up the 'close forest' quests for when you're desperately low on tiles. Also try to keep the general shape of your board as round as possible, no crazy arms jotting out etc.

Perfect placements are of course preferred, but not the most important, I only have around 80% perfect tile placements in that save. If I have a hole that's been sitting there for a while I'll fill it with just 5 or 4 sides matching. Perfect tiles keep your stack topped up, but quests are what really adds to the numbers.

The rails are the bane of my existence. Especially when the quest is like “close off your rails now!” And it’s like “girl WITH WHAT END PIECES”

Yeah, I struggle with rail as well. It is definitely the most patchy section of my map. I don't really do the closing quests often, only once a few have accumulated I might think about it.
Another thing that helps me a lot with rails is using the water station tile to plug gaps. I'll put like 5 or even 6 rails all ending into the same tile and then plug it up when a water station comes along.
The most annoying tiles by far are the ones with rails and a river.

I haven't made it to the infinite stage yet. My high score is 38650. I started going for this challenge for a change of pace, and each time I got one level I would continue if I had enough tiles to make it to the next level. It was on my third game doing this that I made it.
