Update 6 (2026-09-21) officially addressed this leveler issue: A leveling interaction prevents later painting or another action. If it still occurs after updating, treat it as a possible regression or different cause, not a guaranteed repair of your existing save.

Check before changing your save
Compare the tool selected in the radial menu with the surface's current prompt and record the preceding leveler use.
- Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.
- Compare the tool selected in the radial menu with the surface's current prompt and record the preceding leveler use.
- Do not repaint unrelated surfaces to diagnose a missing interaction.
Official fix versus your current save
The developer's Update 6 note establishes a historical fix for this symptom. It does not publish a universal recovery command or prove that a previously damaged save will repair itself. This guide has not independently retested your save.
Recovery decision
Do not repaint unrelated surfaces to diagnose a missing interaction.
- If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
- If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
- If it repeats, report leveler, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
