How to Get Trees in Abandoned Quarry in Terra Nil?

Getting trees in Abandoned Quarry is entirely possible and you just have to take a few extra steps to create them on your own. Unlike other maps that have trees, this one makes you start from scratch.

First, find a rock with green grass and get a Dehumidifier on it. Set it to 70%, let it lower humidity in the whole map and you will quickly enough have Dry Bush. Build a Solar Amplifier next to the Dry Bush to burn it and create Building Husks.

Once you have your Building Husks, place Arboretrums there to create Forests. When Forests are created you will get your precious trees and you can move on to take beehives and place them on trees to create Fynbos and move your ecosystem to the next level.

As you can see getting trees isn’t impossible in Abandoned Quarry, it just needed a small workaround. Even though Terra Nil is a strategy game, it requires a lot of thinking outside the box so whenever you’re in trouble and don’t know what to do next, think of it as a puzzle game. When you switch perspective like this you will surely find your way to the solution.
