Is it mandatory to kill Adam for the Evil Murderer Human achievement?
In previous playthroughs from a few months back, I've completed the Fabrications segment both by killing Adam (probably don't need to spoiler this, and by using a spare head. However, I've been attempting to get the Evil Murderer Human achievement, and I've spent over two hours trying to get Adam to move onto the platform over the grinder to remove his lower half. Whenever Adam is about to step onto the platform, he notices me standing inside the control room with the button, and proceeds to reroute and completely ignore the platform. Is it possible for me to just use the alternate method, and still get the achievement?

Here's a handy trick to double-check your progress -- if you check your output_log.txt file in %appdata%\AppData\LocalLow\Neat Corporation\Budget Cuts 2\, you can see a running record of what required targets you did *not* kill, for purposes of the Evil Murderer Human and Pacifist achievements. Look for the phrase "Missed killing" and you can skip around the logs easily.

Same trick works for tracking whether you're on target for Pacifist in BC1, btw.

As for dealing with you-know-who, did you bait the place you need him to walk onto first? If you did and he's still not cooperating, try crouching near the switch to be 100% sure you're out of sight, then reach up and smack the button when he's in position. I'm quite short, and I'm still able to reach it while ducking, so it should be doable.

Good luck!

Thank you for the advise! I have the Pacifist achievement in both games, though. However, I completely did not consider just crouching, which seems like a great solution to the problem.

I was wondering the complete opposite of this question, I had no idea you could spare ADAM by using a spare head

You can place lightbulbs in the sockets on either side of the platform to get him to walk over it when you're out of sight.
