Survival Log Clear Mold Quest Stuck: Official Save Fix
An update repairs the hidden-container issue in affected saves.
Quick Answer
If your Clear Mold quest is stuck because mold remains in hidden containers, install the September 17 update, 1.0.16756, or a later build. The developer says loading an affected save after that update automatically completes the quest. The published repair does not require finding an invisible container yourself.

Apply the fix to your existing save
The official patch identifies a specific save bug: mold in hidden containers could keep Clear Mold unfinished for a long time.
- Close the game and let Steam install the available update.
- Start the updated game and load the save with the stuck quest.
- Check the Clear Mold objective. For a save affected by this bug, the announced result is automatic completion when it loads.
Keep your existing save while checking this repair. The developer describes a fix on load, so a fresh playthrough is not the published remedy.
If Clear Mold remains unfinished
The automatic completion applies to the hidden-container bug described in the patch, not every unfinished mold objective. If your quest remains blocked in an updated build, send the official feedback form your game version, character, quest screenshot and a description of what remains. Do not assume an older hidden-container report identifies the cause of every new case.
