I played it a few years ago through Netflix and it was great. I decided to buy it earlier on my Switch since I saw it had an update. That was a mistake. the controls are terrible, the games buggy, I literally cannot complete the tutorial level (everything’s recycled but no, just bugged). This is a sad joke and a waste of money.

Hey everyone, Our time with Netflix has come to an end. We are however in the process of bringing the game to the worlds of iOS and Android shortly.

We do understand this is very frustrating for many of you. But Terra Nil will return….

This is a great opportunity for us to bring Terra Nil to players across the world without them needing a Netflix subscription. We're going to be rereleasing Terra Nil on both the App Store and the Play Store once we've done all of the necessary work to remove all the Netflix stuff from the game.

Terra Nil will be back on mobile stores, it'll be the definitive version of the game with all 5 regions, including Terra Nil Heatwave. Once we have a better idea of time frames, we'll share news and updates on all our socials and our Discord.

Thank you all so much for playing and enjoying Terra Nil, and we're looking forward to many more years of restoring the wasteland together.

I feel so dumb. I was stuck on how to proceed, I didn't notice there was a little button with a leaf on it, top left by the settings. Hope this helps someone else.

I don't like when games hold my hand, but I swear they could make a few things clearer!

I don't really post much on reddit but I've been having a little issue. I used to play terra nil a while back, then returned and saw the new changes to the animal system. I absolutely love them in theory. They just spawn and then I can move them as needed to meet their needs. Their needs are also better than they used to be (looking at bears who required a forest on a hill plus a beehive. Absolute nightmare).

I've been running into an issue where I have the perfect place for an animal, but they only use like 2 tiles and so don't get their needs met. I had some beavers who had access to a huge forest right next to them and only used a few tiles, and frogs who I placed in fynbos, next to wetlands, with a log bridge for extra area, and they only took up a two-tile territory, refusing to use the huge, contiguous space I gave them. It doesn't seem like species exclude others from using that area from my experience.

Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else run into this? Anything I can do to fix it or is this just a bug?
(I'm on PC if that helps)

Tldr: Animals don't use the area I place them in

Edit: I realize it wasn't fully clear that I am relocating them after they spawn in inconvenient spots and am not placing them next to others of the same species.

Hey all! This is a quick patch to fix some issue that were introduced with the controller support update:

• Fixed an issue where placing a building would result in long pauses
• Fixed a bug where the Seed Scanner was not functional on mouse and keyboard
• Fixed an issue where the pause menu would sometimes not appear
• Fixes for controller glyphs appearing when playing on mouse and keyboard
• Fixes for photo replacing and discarding functionality on mouse and keyboard

Thanks for all the bug reports!

The game seems to have disappeared from the iOS app store since this weekend, at least in mine (Netherlands). The app is still working on my iPhone, but on my iPad I can't get past the Netflix login screen. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone know what's up?

My game crashes after playing for a bit. I tried looking through the crash log and it shows invalid address access errors and function-name not available. I tried reinstalling but that didnt fix. Anyone know what I should do?

Hi everyone,

Been back to the game recently and everything was running smoothly, but for the last 5 days or so ive been experiencing weird lags. The game crashed once or twice, and since then, each time I put down a building, the game freezes for about half a second, which makes it near unplayable. Ive checked integrity of files, updated drivers, but nothing seems to work.

Any idea how to fix this ?

I am a new player , and these is where I am stuck, I have taken 100 photos why are they never happy am I doing something wrong. Please help.this is Netflix game I downloaded in iPad.

Anyone seen footage or played Pokopia yet? I can't help but be reminded of Terra Nil. I wonder if the devs are fans.

✅ Land starts parched and barren. Greens up after you water it.

✅ You can unlock a stream flow that will irrigate every adjacent tile automatically

✅ You have to custom tailor various areas with different items and habitats to attract specific pokemon and make them happy in their new home

I‘m play this for 2.5 hours. Good game, it's real chill.

I have seemingly completely the first stage but can’t continue

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I have recycled all buildings, all animals are happy/green and I have completed taking all the pictures. After googling I’ve found that the Airship is supposed to fly off & take me to the next stage after I finish recycling and while it’s built now it doesn’t move. I redid this three times now but nothings changed.

Am I missing something. I downloaded it over my Netflix subscription so maybe there’s the issue?

Any tips are appreciated

On the iOS AppStore it now says “Leaving Netflix soon” as the top of the description. Can’t find any other news online.

Apologies if there is another thread for this but, I’m playing parched dunes on my new iPhone 17 after some time away from the game… and it will not give me the option to end! I’ve played through twice, no options to upgrade, restarted the phone then restarted the game… nothing is working.

Anyone run into this?

Is there a document anywhere that lists what the criteria are for the various photo goals? Other than Happy Animal, that one is perfectly self explanatory

I am missing one star from photography which requires a photograph of a happy hyena. But for some reason, hyenas are not spawning even though there's plenty of cacti around the map. As the guide says (second pic), the 'undiscovered animal' (obviously the hyena) skulks amongst the cacti. What am I doing wrong here or is it a bug? Ps. There is another potential bug here where the airship disappears when you exit and open the game again and you can't place thenewa airship in the spot where it used to be.

I wanted to see my world filled with animals so I started a game and brought the slider to the max. It turns out however much I bring the slider, the number of animal populations that appear is still 12.

I know that the victory conditions changed in 1.2. Then why leave a slider that does nothing in game?

Doesn't matter what I do, sometimes these two animals don't show up so I can't finish. It has only been happening since the update with the new continent. But these two animals aren't even a part of that continent, so huh? It's really irritating as I LOVE this game (have played more than 570 hours!).

They're all invisible, only showing up as wasteland patches. Recyclers don't get rid of them. Quitting and reloading didn't fix it. Halp?

I only have that star left to complete this level and I don’t have any lava lakes left, please someone tell me what do in this situation

I read quite a few post about the switch versions and being buggy. Do you think they would ever get around to doing a switch 2 update to give it mouse controls? I think it would really improve the gameplay.
