The terraformation stage achievements are based on reaching various levels of the Terraformation Index (Ti). Your current Ti is displayed on top right of screen, or it can be viewed broken down using a Terraformation Screen.

Your Ti is made up of the following metrics (Oxygen + Heat + Pressure + Biomass):

• Oxygen (ppq/s)
  
• Heat (pK/s)
  
• Pressure (nPa/s)
  
• Biomass (g/s)

Biomass is made up of the following metrics (Plants + Insects + Animals):

• Plants (g/s)
  
• Insects (g/s)
  
• Animals (g/s)

Due to the ever-growing nature of the Ti, it utilizes prefixes to keep the on-screen number manageable. Below is the breakdown of the units of measurement:

• 1,000 Ti = 1 kTi
  
• 1,000 kTi = 1 MTi
  
• 1,000 MTi = 1 GTi
  
• 1,000 GTi = 1 TTi

1) If you are playing this game as a multiplayer set-up, be aware that at the time of writing this, if you enter a game that is farther along than you are, you will unlock most of the achievements that the hosting player has for that save file (except the crafting ones). It's not a terrible glitch, perse, but if you're like me and enjoy getting achievements, it is very annoying.

2) It is still possible to glitch into locations you can otherwise not access, given your current level. The only way to escape is to either reset your game and lose your progress, or wait until your character passes out so that you can return to the last base you were in. Due to this, I highly recommend NOT playing on the hardest difficulty, as it deletes your save file if you die.

3) All items crafted in auto crafters count towards your total for the crafting achievements. Once you have several auto crafters and drones going, you can unlock that achievement very quickly.

Happy terraforming!
