First renovation checklist

Observed task families with current prompts taking priority.

  1. Use the zone checklist

    Read both the overall progress bar and the zone panel on the right. In the recorded House Kitchen, the checklist separates Powerwash the Floors, Paint the Walls and Place the Furniture. Outdoor zones can also list Clean the Leaves. A finished wall is only one item in that checklist.

    Success check
    The relevant inventory, task or surface counter responds.
    If it remains unclear
    Check the room panel and use the focused completion guide.

    §Use the zone checklist#

    Read both the overall progress bar and the zone panel on the right. In the recorded House Kitchen, the checklist separates Powerwash the Floors, Paint the Walls and Place the Furniture. Outdoor zones can also list Clean the Leaves. A finished wall is only one item in that checklist.

    On the recorded PC HUD, Q sits beside the zone panel. Use the current panel control to inspect what is unfinished before walking away. Complete a small zone and verify its counters instead of guessing from appearance.

  2. Rake, pick up and empty your hands

    The co-op players demonstrate raking leaves toward themselves, then unequipping the rake to pick them up. The held-leaf counter beneath the screen tells you how close you are to the current capacity. Follow the hand/pickup prompt on your own device.

    §Rake, pick up and empty your hands#

    The co-op players demonstrate raking leaves toward themselves, then unequipping the rake to pick them up. The held-leaf counter beneath the screen tells you how close you are to the current capacity. Follow the hand/pickup prompt on your own device.

    If the red full-hands warning appears, stop trying to collect more and empty the leaves into a bin using its current prompt. At 00:11:00 the video shows 40/40 and a bin warning. That player had already bought capacity upgrades, so 40 is not a universal starting capacity.

    A player describes opening a Leaf Drain and sweeping leaves into it at 00:11:33-00:11:51. Later both players question whether they are receiving money. Treat the drain as a feature observed in this run, with payout attribution and current unlock price still unverified.

  3. Watch the surface meter and heat indicator

    The PC recording uses Pressure Washer in slot 2. A percentage appears over the targeted dirty surface, and a circular indicator builds while spraying. The presenter mentions letting it cool at 00:12:42.

    §Watch the surface meter and heat indicator#

    The PC recording uses Pressure Washer in slot 2. A percentage appears over the targeted dirty surface, and a circular indicator builds while spraying. The presenter mentions letting it cool at 00:12:42.

    Work until that surface reaches its completion state, then check whether the zone floor counter advanced. If spraying pauses while the circular indicator is full, release and allow it to recover before assuming a broken tool. Exact overheat duration has not been measured.

  4. Finish the wall and check its own counter

    Paint Brush is shown in slot 1. Targeted walls have their own progress percentage, separate from the zone bar. The Color Picker is labeled V in this PC recording.

    §Finish the wall and check its own counter#

    Paint Brush is shown in slot 1. Targeted walls have their own progress percentage, separate from the zone bar. The Color Picker is labeled V in this PC recording.

    Finish the currently targeted wall, check its appearance and meter, then look at Paint the Walls in the zone panel. A choice of paint color is visible, but no required color for completion is established by this evidence.

  5. Do the furniture task too

    Room panels in both House and Restaurant recordings include Place the Furniture. The Restaurant footage shows a carried chair, cyan outlined furniture targets and a placement-success message.

    §Do the furniture task too#

    Room panels in both House and Restaurant recordings include Place the Furniture. The Restaurant footage shows a carried chair, cyan outlined furniture targets and a placement-success message.

    After washing and painting, check whether furniture is still incomplete. Find the relevant target, carry the corresponding item and follow the on-screen placement prompt. Confirm the furniture counter advances before repeating the route. The dedicated furniture guide explains this check.

  6. Check a zone before calling the map finished

    The Restaurant footage shows Zone Completed when the Patio checklist is finished, followed by a separate MAP COMPLETE result and lobby countdown. Use that result as the confirmation that the run registered.

    The Restaurant footage shows Zone Completed when the Patio checklist is finished, followed by a separate MAP COMPLETE result and lobby countdown. Use that result as the confirmation that the run registered.

    If the overall bar remains incomplete, revisit zones with unfinished counters. Avoid spending on a stronger washer when the remaining task is furniture or leaves.
