I'm having light bulb and soda problems.
Obviously, I'm not the only one having problems with the light bulb achievement, but I'll summarize anyway.

I do Fabrications like normal. I go off and hide, and Adam stomps around. For me, however, there came a point where there's one light bulb left. No matter what I do, he refuses to stomp it. I caught his attention and ran away, nothing. Baited him with more light bulbs, nothing. Another time I attempted the achievement, all the light bulbs appeared to be stomped, but I got no achievement. Usually when I exit while attempting the achievement, the game crashes. I'm not sure if it's my fault or not.

I also might have a problem with the soda achievement.

I go by every soda machine (before the fuse puzzle) and dispense piles of soda. I created so much soda, the soda began to lag and glitch. Surely, I should have got the achievement by then. Nope. Again, I have no idea if I'm doing anything wrong.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Yeah, sorry, we know we've been having issues with the bulb achievement. We're fixing it for the upcoming patch. We have a test version of that patch available on the beta branch where it should work if you want to try it immediately.

As for the soda achievement, you need to find a machine that actually dispenses soda, not grenades(:

Ohhh that's how you do the soda thing. Yeah, I knew the soda achievement had to be something specific. Also, thank you for advice for the light bulb achievement. I'll try the beta to see if it works.

To conclude, thanks for the reply! I really like how you guys are so responsive to posts like this; really made me feel confident expressing my issues. Best of luck! Love the game!

Could you be a little more specific, please ? I tried so many things for this one... I bought soda in every distributor who crossed my path, I insert the money quickly (the distributor even said the sentence “ooh, that’s a lot of soda !”, which is noted under the achievement name), I asked again & again for soda to the distributors in the last level (even during the 25 seconds when they deactivate, because I asked for too many cans) so that there was a big pile…

You need to use a paid machine that dispenses soda, no grenades, like the one it Warehouse, and completely empty it before it restocks

Thank you for the quick answer ! I'll go see this machine. Is it the same as all the paid machine we see during the previous levels or has it something particular ? Because i already put 6 coins in several machines and nothing happens (except the machines commentary "ooh, that's a lot of soda"). Must i put 7 coins in it ?

Edit : Or 11 coins, i guess... ? I remember pushing the button 10 times on machines that dispense grenades in the last level empties them, so i had to wait 25 seconds before i could get more.

Hi! Okay, so like the dev said, you gotta use a machine that takes coins, like the one in the Warehouse. From my understanding, I think the Warehouse machine might be the only machine that lets you get this achievement, and here's why:
In the repair ward, there's a little piggy bank that contains coins. You have to break it to obtain all of them (normally, you do this to get a coin for the screwdriver machine next to the soda one). With your inventory full of coins, go back to the soda machine and put them all in; you should have enough to warrant the message "no more soda for so many seconds", unlocking the achievement. I believe this may be the only level with enough coins to trigger the message, because as you stated, it takes quite a number, and the piggy bank I know for a fact has enough.

Thanks to you two, I no longer have a problem with soda.
*burp*
I swear ! :lunar2019grinningpig:

If it is of any help, i got it on the last soda machine in third level, in the rest room just before the taco addict bot, of course after keeping some of the level 2 coins. Damn, all this time, i was so close with my 6 coins...
