Can't finish the skate park!

[Prof. Moriarty]

I tried everything on one wall by the entrance. All positions, watched videos where people had no trouble with it, cleaners everything...read everything I could here too. I only have on small area left but I see nothing at all, and have rewashed the whole thing 3 times...help!

Did you make sure that you cleaned the top and sides of the wall? It is easy to miss some on the top especially on the very high ends.

[Prof. Moriarty]

Yep. all the top and everywhere. Even the cracks. :(

I have cleaned the skate park at least a dozen times and now there is one wall in the corner over by the "bowl" that I cannot get completely clean. This is the first time this has happened. And yes, I have checked every nook and cranny of this particular wall.

There needs to be a way past this or a fresh restart. Not really wanting to redo the whole skatepark though.

Is this just recently? I'm wondering if the update might have caused an issue? I don't know if it would or not, but it might be a possibility. Weird, for sure.

[Prof. Moriarty]

Yep, tried finishing it today.

IT'S NOT YOU.
Ever since the update, I cannot complete the Tree House level. I have played through this game four times and did not have any problem at all until the update.
I have one item left to clean... a little lantern... it's at 99%. One tiny spot but there is not a speck of dirt visible. No orange pixels when I press tab. I spent two hours spraying with every nozzle at every angle and two bottles of soap... there is no way that it can be any thing else but that update. I suspect that they increased the percentage for "automatic clean"... in other words, we have to clean more dirt to get that "ping" saying it's 100%.
In my case ( and a whole bunch of other people who are in the same boat we are in)
I am stuck... I can't go forward into the game. No levels are showing, not even the ones from the new update. The game is now in total standstill.

I would suggest this... press "F8" and fill out the areas where you are having a problem.
F8 goes directly to the developers so they can see the problem and fix it.
Because this is an "early access" game, these things happen... and the only way for them to fix any issue that shows up from an update is to send them a report.
With all the problem reports I am seeing in the Steam discussions, I am sure they are aware and will be working on it and we'll see another update soon.
Hope so... otherwise I've got a dead game sitting in my library.

THANK YOU!!

I agree that it may be the update. Before, I have been able to 100% clean everything with no problems. Not sure about the automatic clean thing because I just finished the fire station again and had some large areas go to "100% clean" before they were all cleaned by me, mainly on the roof and the larger walls.

Still bugged, impossible to finish skatepark...

It happened to me as well, that no dirt was visible on a incomplete object. Try pressing on an unfinished item in the list of objects, it will then highlight it in the level. If it looks totally clean, try to spray it everywhere. Using the soap is more effective.

It's definitely possible to complete the skate park since the update, cause I've done it.

That being said, there are definitely odd issues with some surfaces/parts in maps that are fine in one playthrough and really finnicky in others, even with the exact same version of the game.

While I was able to finish the skatepark, there was a single wall (directly opposite the enterance) that took me a few minutes to finish despite not being able to see any dirt with TAB or with the naked eye. Had the same issue with a wall in the bathroom map.

I do find myself just blindly spraying water at a perfectly clean surface every now and then until it (seemingly arbitrarily) dings. It's pretty frustrating but thankfully it's never resulted in not being able to progress after several full playthroughs of the game.

There definitely needs to be some more tweaking done to prevent issues like this.

Edit: Just did the skatepark again and had no problems whatsoever. It's definitely kind of inconsistent. I suspect the bevelled edges on walls are playing a large part in that. Depending on the angle you hit them, you can easily miss most if not all dirt on the bevelled edge, and it can be really difficult to see what you've missed.

The way I do the skatepark is that I use the ladder to get the tops of the walls before I start cleaning anything else, then I do the walls themselves. If it's true that it's sometimes unfinishable, this seems to be a good way to start since you'll know earlier if something is "uncleanable".
