How to unlock the Shiny! achievement in Blue-Collar Astronaut - Definitive Guide
When you purchase an item, the cost will either come from your current earnings (green money), or it will be deducted from your credit (yellow money) (adds to your debt).
For Shiny! I had to buy:
Ship Tolerance - $1000
Reinforcement - $3000
Food-O-Matic 1-3 -$300/900/3000
Tom - $12,000
Cruise (once) - $2000
Wrenchtime - $600
The trophy popped after buying Wrenchtime, meaning I spent between $22,200 and $22,800 for it to pop. It should also be noted that the ship-tip/fuel (ship tolerance and reinforcement), food-o-matics/tom, and the wrench correspond with costs that you get after each pizza and trucker mission (see loan trophy for explanation,) and lower those costs. *Not really needed for lower costs, as I didn't bother with these till the end on my main playthrough*. The trophy popped once I had one of each type. So the requirements are:
one each of: fuel, food, and repairs AND/OR $22,600-22,800 spent.
Note: you gain the following credit cards by playing through story mode:
Driving School:
1. Tin Credit Card ($4000)
Pizza:
2. Palladium Card ($6000) - you get it after level 4, The Forge.
3. Meitnerium Card ($12,000) - level 9, Space City 3000
Trucking:
4. Exclusive Card ($15,000) - level 6, Space Pruning
5. Executive Card ($20,000) - level 11, Space Beach Simulator
As you can see, you get more than enough credit for the Shiny! trophy.
