Tower Defender Impossible

I cant seem to get this ahcievement, no matter what i do, i even took my weapons off my rig, and only build towers, and only quarry bots, and killed every unit on the entire map. I plonked down radars to make sure, but at the end of the mission, still no achievement

To get this achievement your total enemy kills (creatures + scavengers) must equal turret kills on the stats screen when you complete the mission (and must be > 0).
It's possible you had enemies killed by splash damage from a generator exploding while being attacked.
Also if you have a module with reflect-damage and an enemy shoots your Rig it can get destroyed that way.
It's easiest to do this on a prospecting mission where you gather fuel or ore and just sit in your base with turrets.

ive had them bug out before though, i had max number of units i could build at the end of a level, but i still didnt get the maximizer achievemnet

[Romah]

Yeah it is bugged...
The problem was is any non enemy kills such as rocks, barrels etc make the kill count go over the enemy death count...
This one had me quite frustrated aswell :\

It's slightly bugged but you can work around it.

The achievement condition is: kills of enemy units have to equal tower kills.

The thing is, destroying enemy buildings with towers counts as a tower kill but not as a unit kill. So you can end up getting a higher tower kill value than unit kill value. If the two are unequal you won't get the achievement.

To work around that, you can destroy buildings with your rig or kill an enemy unit with your rig to keep the tower count down. I ended up killing two enemy units to compensate for the two buildings my towers destroyed and still got the achievement.

Edit: this was in 1.1a
