4.01
Solving the Puzzle
Don't let the green infection spread to the red tiles.
4.02
Solving the Puzzle
Red tiles can be rotated.
4.03
Solving the Puzzle
Reconfigure the circuit to make the infection spread evenly.
4.04
Solving the Puzzle
One tile has the power to destroy us or them.
4.05 + Challenge Achievement
Solving the Puzzle
It's safer to chase the drones than it is to be chased.

Energy Fundamentalist
Beat Level 4.05 WITHOUT Stealing Energy (Single or Co-Op Story)
4.06 + 7 Achievements
Solving the Puzzle
This is a good level for getting seven achievements. If you hold down "right" at the start, TOM will grab a bunch of energy and not hit the drones.





Macaroni Chain
Get an Energy Chain of 5 Energy Pellets


Unobtainium Chain
Get an Energy Chain of 10 Energy Pellets


Adamantium Chain
Get a Energy Chain of 20 Energy Pellets


Helium
Get TWO Energy Pellets Orbiting TOM at the Same Time


Lithium
Get THREE Energy Pellets Orbiting TOM at the Same Time


Beryllium
Get FOUR Energy Pellets Orbiting TOM at the Same Time
I wrote a response here on how to do it: How to do Beryllium Achievement[gaming.stackexchange.com]

Often it will look like you did it right, but you missed an energy on the third drone. If you look carefully it will have energy on it's front and back. Go earlier.

Stack Overflow
Collect more energy than the HUD capsules can contain (Single or Co-Op Story)
4.07
Solving the Puzzle
This is a bigger version of 2.10. Only the center tiles matter.
4.08
Solving the Puzzle
Green drones on the left side are the safest. Complete the circuit after enjoying the fireworks.
4.09
Solving the Puzzle
The center is safe. Take your time.
4.10
Solving the Puzzle
The corners of the board gets rush hour drone traffic. Wait until it clears up, but be quick.

That's what I assumed - that the energy absorbs too quickly and there is just no way to get 4.
Thanks for confirming.

Yes, there is a problem in Linux :/ I've been able to playtest and narrow down the issue (the energy pellets are absorbed too soon compared to the PC version). Both the DLC and this achievement issue should hopefully be fixed in the next patch, but I don't know when that will be.

I am wondering if there is any problem with Beryllium on Linux (as there is with the DLC achievements).

I've posted in AVNT forums:

4.04 is really difficult until you figure out that the orientation of a single tile -- located close to the red tile -- is the key to the solution. :)

Can you give a second hint on 4.04? For some reason I can only get to a point where I'm swapping between 2 nearly complete lines. I've solved quite a few of these 2 nearly completes, but not finished it! :ccskull:

i know. I did that. i still cant figure it out
Niban  [author] 29 Sep, 2013 @ 1:45pm 
The power source should be connecting "left" and top". At the start it is connecting "right" and "bottom."
FrigidOfDoom 29 Sep, 2013 @ 11:27am 
thats not my problem

my problem is figuring out how to get the infection everywhere
Niban  [author] 28 Sep, 2013 @ 9:26pm 
That is correct. Only the tiles that are not encrypted at the start you need to turn. Make sure they aren't connected to the red tiles AND make sure you don't accidentally rotate the tiles to feed the infection into the red tiles.

im stuck on 4.7

you say only the middle tiles matter so ive tryed alot of stuff but its not working
