Confirmed tool categories
Official media shows paint rollers, trowels, tile materials, wall-filling work, and mounting objectives. 12The official store description makes hardware-store shopping and selecting inexpensive tools part of the game's core premise. 1Official screenshots connect specific materials to visible room objectives, which is why this guide organizes tools by the current job rather than by an invented tier list. 1
Inventory handling
Update 3 added the ability to drop an inventory item by dragging it outside the inventory window. 1The update also fixed object interaction and heavy-object exit-door problems, so inventory advice should be checked against the current build. 1Dragging an item outside the inventory is the only new inventory action explicitly described in the checked patch note. 1
Avoid invented specifications
The checked official sources do not provide a complete durability or efficiency table for every tool. 12This guide therefore does not assign unverified damage, durability, cost-efficiency, or upgrade values to tools. 12Prices are also left out because store choices can change and the checked sources do not establish a permanent price list for every in-game item. 12
