Explanations and Tips: Trophy by Trophy
Great Intendant (Platinum)
Requires all previous trophies. Plan with multiple saves, complete story achievements in the optimal order, and reserve a final run for difficult challenges on Captain or Intendant difficulty as needed.
Frozen City
To apply 5 area effects in a district, build and deploy multiple centers and upgrades that grant area buffs/debuffs; focus on a large district and test combinations of structures and policies.
Urban Planning
Organize the city in advance: deploy 10 districts with connected centers; prioritize infrastructures that extend their influence before the crisis progresses.
Little View
Visit observers or events near district centers. Be observant: many situations require exploring or paying attention to emerging icons on the map.
Thank you for your feedback
Ignoring community requests 5 times: do not discard accidentally; save before failing to fulfill to control collateral effects on reputation.
Venerated Leadership
Maintain “Devoted” relationships with all factions: fulfill promises and avoid punishments; prioritize favors and ensure not to break alliances by applying contradictory policies.
Patronage
Fulfill at least one promise for five different factions in the same game: take missions and manage resources to complete commitments without neglecting the city.
Charm
Maintain relationships at least at “Skeptical” or better: avoid drastic measures that reduce reputation with factions, and act with balance between laws and demands.
Legislative Power
Approving 20 new laws requires accumulating influence and resources; alternate experimental laws and save frequently to prevent setbacks from voting.
Checks and Balances
Complete the story without approving Rules laws on Captain difficulty: requires political planning from the start; create saves before each key vote.
Case Closed
For 100% votes in favor, manage delegates and arrange incentives: use policies and decisions that align the priorities of delegates before the vote.
Colonist
Establish 3 colonies: prepare resources to send expeditions and build infrastructure in the colonies without depleting the main city.
Isolationist
Complete without collecting external resources: plan for high internal production and avoid interacting with wasteland or colonies; ideal for a full challenge run.
Energy Surplus 2.0
Keep 10 districts warm for 20 weeks: centralize generators and manage fuel, also prioritize upgrades that increase thermal efficiency.
Clean Energy
Cover 300 demands with steam: invest in steam infrastructure and avoid degradation through regular maintenance and technological upgrades.
Consistency
Do not mix opposing affinities in research/laws: choose a thematic path and stick to it from early stages.
New Oxbridge
Double the initial research speed with decisions and initial upgrades; prioritize nodes that reduce research times.
Not if I can help it
Zero avoidable deaths: prioritize medical services and rescue centers; avoid decisions that sacrifice civilians for resources.
Social Person
Achieve maximum trust: care for food, safety, and working conditions; apply popular policies and resolve social demands.
Urban Paradise
50 weeks without problems with ≥15k inhabitants: plan infrastructure and anticipate climatic and political bumps.
The end is just the beginning
Ensure the survival of the wanderers: manage logistics and resources assigned to the caravan or wandering convoy.
No Collateral Damage
Avoid collateral deaths from specific missions; respect conditions of secondary missions to avoid sacrificing vulnerable populations.
The Ambitions of New London
Complete the story on any difficulty: follow the narrative and meet the requirements of each chapter to advance to the end.
The Challenge of New London
Finish the story on Captain difficulty: increasing difficulties requires better resource management and anticipation of crises.
The Demons of New London
Additional trophy related to finishing on Captain (pay attention to extra conditions or added challenges on that path).
Another Day in Paradise
Utopia Builder: complete a game in this mode, focused on macro construction and optimization.
Ambition
Complete all ambitions in Utopia Builder; plan mid-long term objectives to achieve each ambition.
Core Hunters

Not Starving

Civic Firmness
Avoid deaths from the Civil War: control tension and fervor so that confrontations do not escalate.
Chancellor of the Treasury
Reach income in thermal bonds ≥50: optimize economy and trade to generate the necessary flow.
Relocation
Ensure the exiled faction leaves on its own: manage diplomacy and conditions for them to leave without conflict.

Primus Inter Pares

Suggested Route for the Platinum Trophy
- First run (Normal story): complete the story to unlock most tales and basic trophies.
- Second run (Preparation for challenges): focus on economic/construction trophies (Megalopolis, Energy Surplus).
- Third run (Intendant+): tackle challenges on high difficulty, stories on Intendant and requirements without deaths or degradation.
- Utopia Builder mode: reserve a save for all exclusive trophies from that mode (Ambition, Another Day in Paradise).
- Complementary runs: opposing routes (e.g., negative relationships vs. devoted relationships) in separate games for contradictory trophies.
- Final: review loose trophies with timely saves and complete the Platinum.
Tip: use one file for each major objective (story, economy, politics, utopia). This way you avoid repeating content and speed up the process by focusing each run on its target trophies.
