Hello everyone! As of writing this VERY LENGTHY guide, I will give you EVERYTHING you need to know to unlock this brutal achievement. It will be up to you to research how to get most of them, however. Be prepared, because this will most likely take you over 200 in-game days (accumulatively 240-300 real hours). If there's anything I should add or missed, feel free to let me know.
Before I do, I'd recommend using this website: https://mapgenie.io/grounded
It really helps to have a detailed map at your disposal to help keep track of where everything is. 1. Complete the entire story.2. Collect all Milk MolarsIn total, there are 123 Milk Molars.
78 Milk Molars
45 Mega Milk Molars
3. Collect all Gold Cards.This will most likely be the reason you'll be taking long to get the achievement. Before the update, you used to only need 20 Gold Cards. Now, you must collect ALL Gold Cards. That being said, there are 2 methods you can use to make this a little easier on yourself:
1.
Craft the Waft Emitter:You can actually force spawn a raid by consuming materials of a specific creature to attack the Emitter. They'll come to you instead of waiting for them to spawn back into the yard.
A WARNING there's been a glitch after patch 1.3.2 that unfortunately will not let you spawn Green Shield Bugs. According to the community, if you have already killed the Assistant Manager BEFORE patch 1.3.2, the game registers that you haven't killed him yet, thus forcing them to not spawn through the Emitter. The patch released on November 21st, 2023, so if you haven't killed the Assistant Manager yet, give it a try and report on this guide if possible for confirmation.
If you'd like to know more about how to fully optimize the Waft Emitter usage, check this reddit thread:

Save ScummingThis method is a little more complex, but just as reliable as the Waft Emitter. In a nutshell, creatures that have already spawned in your yard are pre-determined of whether they have the Gold Card or not. Therefore, you cannot have them already spawned and kill them over and over again; they will never drop the Gold Card this way. So what do we do? We don't save after they spawned in, we save the game BEFORE they spawn in. I will try to explain the method as simply as possible:
Let's say you want to farm for the Black Ant Soldiers and Workers on top shed.
1. Turn off Auto-Save (In Options, go to GAME - AUTO SAVES - turn the intervals to 20 and turn auto saves to 0).
2.. Kill all ants.
3. Set a camp with a Lean-To bed, a Roasting Pit, and a Dew Collector 180-200cm away (preferably that field station on the right side of the shed). Creatures cannot spawn in if you are within 180cm.
4. MOST IMPORTANT STEP: Manually save the game BEFORE you sleep. What we are doing is we are saving just before the Black Ants are spawning back into the yard. We are bringing in fresh new ants every time, with a fresh chance to obtain the Gold Card.
5. If they didn't drop the Gold Card, press start and load back to the save you made. If you're doing this with a friend, you can force quit the game and it'll still work.
Some tips:All common creatures have a 1% chance of dropping the Gold Card.
All Bosses and Meaty Gnat have a 10% chance of dropping the Gold Card.
The Infected Broodmother has a 5% chance of dropping the Gold Card.
Killed creatures typically take 3-4 in-game days to respawn.
Use the resource surveyor in the field station to your advantage. It will help locate and tell you if the creature spawned in.
Be sure to check the resource surveyor before you sleep. You don't want the creature to have already spawned in right before sleeping is available. Check at all times, remember at what time they spawned in, reload the last save before you sleep, wait until you sleep past that time, save the game, sleep, bam. Now every time you reload the save, you'll spawn in front of your bed. Sleep and fresh creatures spawn in every time.
4. Unlock all mutationsThe mutations DO NOT need to be upgraded to the max. Just unlocked. Here is a link to see what mutations you are missing and what you need to do to unlock them:

7. Beat all the MIX.Rs and Super MX.RsThese are large raw science spinning machines scattered around the yard. There are 5 MIX.Rs and 3 Super MIX.Rs to complete.
8. Reach Max BrainpowerIn the field stations, there is a machine called the Resource Analyzer. You must analyze all the resources you can. The maximum brain power is Level 16. Follow this link to see all the materials that can be analyzed:
https://grounded.fandom.com/wiki/Resource_Analyzer9. Purchase everything at the BURG.L Science ShopIn the field stations, there is a computer called the ASL Terminal. Purchase everything in the Science Shop. To get Raw Science quicker, I recommend using the Waft Emitter. Completing raids rewards you raw science. If that is not your favorite thing to do, you can also do side quests in the terminal.
10. Complete all BURG.L QuestsWhen you access the ASL terminal, you will see BURG.L Quests in the middle. There are 99 apprentice quests to complete. Be sure to finish these. Dailies do not count, so be wary what quests you're doing.
11. Defeat all bossesAside from the story mission bosses, there are optional bosses you must defeat (yes, they do drop Gold Cards). These are the following:
Director Schmector
Hedge Broodmother
Mantis
Wasp Queen
Infected Broodmother
