Bright Spark

Description : Generate enough energy through ERS to power a light bulb for a year
How to make the trophy : !WARNING! The trophy is very poorly explained.
The number the trophy asks for is in the wrong unit of measurement. The 1,893,456,000 that the game requires from you is in joules while the unit of calculation for your progress is in kilojoules.
To know how far you are in your progress, you need to multiply the number you have in the progress bar by 1000. For example, if I am at 1,000,000 on 1,893,456,000, you must multiply 1,000,000 by 1,000 to get your true result.
From what I have seen, this trophy is often the last one you will need to obtain in this game, and to get it takes about 40-50 hours.
It's show time
You can no longer unlock this trophy
Description : Complete an event
How to make the trophy : Unfortunately, you can no longer unlock this trophy because EA does not want to create new events in the 'event' category in the main menu.
The only solution I could find to unlock it is to use a trophy manager. :
https://youtu.be/6AU34WOpD-4?list=PL4B3zKiF7Yq-FmF5gfR-1CN0ghrNBboH5
I used this manager to unlock the trophy because it is extremely simple to install and use.
If unfortunately using software to unlock a trophy bothers you (which I totally understand), the only way to get this trophy will be to wait for EA to decide to hold new events, but in my opinion, that will not happen anymore because the last event dates back to 2021...
