Special screws for renovation drywall?
Hello,
I've covered the first room with renovation gypsum on the chipboard, the problem is that at each screw the gypsum is pushed outward, creating a small bump. Should I use a special type of screw or what's the issue? I've used regular 30mm gypsum screws and Danogips.

Glue?
Not chipboard screws. They ruin the outer paper layer. I've screwed regular drywall screws into the recesses on the side and glued with pl600. Edges without a recess are often covered by moldings. Corners can be a bit tricky. You need bevels in the corners if possible, something I prefer to avoid. I no longer use renovation drywall.

I have screwed hundreds of thousands of regular drywall screws into renovation drywall. No problems here.
Not hundreds of thousands but maybe a thousand screws and no problem I can blame on the gypsum or the screw. I dig gypsum screws for metal in a suitable length. Of course, you have the same risk as with regular gypsum of screwing too hard and maybe the margins are a bit smaller than with regular gypsum.
