In this run, ruins and ponds are generated quite fewer than the average, so cleaning ruins is no question. Also even larger tract of forest is made possible, just mind to manage the card order to withstand the last turns where plots become insufficient just like the previous version.

In that mode, you're required to clear out all the ruins with most of the Plant tiles possible. As the game is turn-based, you may have some seconds to scheme your tile placement.

For each turn, the properties of element tiles works as listed:

Water and Plots

Water is collected from drying a pond, or a product of growing a Forest tile. With them, you may create some moist plots, a prerequisite for placing Seeds or Pebbles.

A single Water tile without another Water, or a Bush / Forest tile adjacent to it, will dry out as a Moist Plot; the Moist Plot will turn to a Dried Plot if continued. Water cards are returned on drying, but notice the returned number is usually less than the total tiles dried.
In this way, you may create some temporary moist areas by placing Water in a shape of web.

Multiple Water forms a pond to moist Dried Plots consistently, but notice that it may flood a Ruins tile within.

A larger tract of it could form a Deep Water Tile (with glimmers on) that cannot use fire on in direct, although it is not common on a regular high-score run.

Plants

Plants are the initial items to help swallow the ruins, hold water, and the additions for your terraforming missions.

Plants can be divided in four stages: Seeds, Grass, Bushes and Forest.
Seeds and Grass are the growing phases of Plants. They cannot do anything to the other tiles, but can grow themselves without any requirements as well. Seeded plots can be substituted with Water or Stone, but Grass cannot.

Bushes is the functional phase of Plants, moistening the plots nearby just like Water, and can be an ingredient to growing a City tile. Moreover, on growing a Bushes tile from Grass, Seeds spread on its near Moist Plots, and Ruins (Not drowned ones) touching are cleared out. Plant Cards may also be given in the process.

Forest is the final phase of Plants, formed by touching four Bushes nearby. Forests cannot be burned, nor be substituted by Cities, but on growing a Forest tile, Water Cards may be given.

A Bushes Tile worths 1 eco point, and a Forest is 2 points higher at the end of a run.

Buildings

Buildings are tiles that usually impedes the mission by forming Ruin Tiles and occupying Bushes, but they're the only source of Fire Cards necessary to dry out the lakes.

Ruins scatter about the map, and can be cleared out either by growing a Bush nearby, or leaving all the tiles Dried Plots. Clearing out a Ruin Tile may give a Stone Card.

Sometimes, Ruins are drowned by at least two Water Tiles nearby. Flooded Ruins cannot be cleared until the water is removed through Fire Cards. It is more tricky to do so if more than 2 of them in patch are present in a large pool, as the flooding phase precedes growing.

A Stone Tile is placed by Stone Cards on Moist Plots. A single Stone is crumbled to Ruins if no other Stone or City is nearby, but two or more adjacent Stone Tiles can be transformed to white City Tiles, providing Fire Cards thanks to the heat accumulated. Cities can expand using Bushes as material, which means more fire available at the cost of lower eco.

Like Bushes, Cities can be upgraded to Large Cities with another Fire Cards may be given.

Fire

Fire works as an item rather than a tile, and is collected only by City Tiles. Fire can demolish a Seeds, Grass, Bushes and Water Tile, but cannot burn Building Tiles, Forests, Reefs and Moist Plots.

Fire are intentionally done to dry the Flooded Ruins, but it can also be used to renew the Bushes in the later phases by devoting them to Bushes:
