How to unlock the Spanner That Works achievement in Two Point Campus - Definitive Guide

This guide is for those who have found that the achievement progress is stuck for them, and is also a faster method than unlocking it through natural gameplay.

Huge thanks to TwoPointChizel of the TPC Forums and GroungeMonkey for both finding/suggesting this fix. I am just making it clearer.

Note that you have to do all the steps below in one sitting. It should take around 20-30 minutes.

Create a sandbox save in creative mode.

For university, pick one with lots of space; I used Two Point University.

Start running the general knowledge course (This requires the fewest rooms and maintenance) and place a small lecture theatre.

Fill the rest of the building with one huge training room.

Inside the training room, place 50 training pods and start upgrading them all to Level 2 then Level 3.

Hire as many janitors as you can with the upgrading skill so that you can do this as quickly as possible. Turn away janitors without.

I am sure going into sandbox and making a university focused on one thing can be used to fix other achievements that are stuck, or as a faster method of unlocking.

Unfortunately this hasn’t worked for me. I got the career goal unlock for 100 upgrades but no achievement and the percentage on my tracker is still stuck at 81%. The only thing I can think of that might work is to try this method again after deleting all my save files?

Edit: Nevermind! Maybe it did work. I was an hour into another play session on a completely different campaign map and I upgraded one lectern and it unlocked finally

Spanner That Works - Upgrade 100 machines

Janitors keep the campus neat and clean, maintain items that deteriorate, and provide security when necessary. Increase maintenance and bonus effects by having a Janitor with the Mechanic skill upgrade key items within classrooms that have been researched via the Research Lab.

Then upgrade 100 machines like a Training Pod (training room) or the Omni-Cure (medical office) for example. You can do this by clicking on the specific item in the room and selecting the last option “upgrade” in the menu. If it is grayed out, then you must research the option in the Research lab.

Last tip: make sure to have multiple Janitors with the Mechanic skill. Train these janitors to have higher skill levels, this way it will take less time to upgrade 100 machines.

The only way i found to fix the issue with tracking getting stuck is to power cycle your console, then start a new sandbox game. And redo the achievement again i had 80% on the lose 5 cheeseball games and only got it to unlock after losing all 5 games again. it seems like the tracker is resetting back to the begin and you have to start from scratch. so far i've fixed Staff boom and You Lose some this way.

Edit: Using this method i was able to unstick spanner in the works, you win some, Galactic Domination, Bookworm Fanatic and Do your home work. if you do have to leave the game just quit and save, then dashboard and quit. to try and save yourself a headache. hope this helps anyone else hit by this glitch.

The progress bars for this and Do Your Homework were stuck in the 50% range but they started up where they left off after I power cycle cache cleared and deleted my local save data for good measure.

I've been having this issue too. Other players are having for different achievements. I spoke to a TPC staff member on their forum and as recently as 2 months ago they said this issue is proving very difficult for the developers to pinpoint. Hopefully it can be solved in the future as I would love to 100% this game.
