Update 6 (2026-09-21) officially addressed this screwdriver issue: Required unscrewing is not recognized as complete. If it still occurs after updating, treat it as a possible regression or different cause, not a guaranteed repair of your existing save.
Match the symptom
Required unscrewing is not recognized as complete.
Check before changing your save
Check the precise target and remaining visible fasteners against the active objective.
- Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.
- Check the precise target and remaining visible fasteners against the active objective.
- Do not unscrew unrelated fixtures as a blanket workaround.
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 unscrew unrelated fixtures as a blanket workaround.
- 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 screwdriver, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
