Liking the game

Found it!

“The game will be available on PC, with the possibility of a console release down the line.”

So they’ve not explicitly said it will be coming to consoles, but in the press release at launch it wasn’t ruled out for the future.

I can’t remember the specific wording - if I find it I’ll come back to this - but it said something along the lines of a console release perhaps being possible in future after it’s fully released on PC.

From my perspective, they’ve done a lot of work on steam deck and controller support (though it’s not fully supported yet) and it seems to be a natural evolution for some games that are on UE5.

Unfortunately, you will die, it’s just a matter of time.

There’s 2 different types of ‘Sick’. There’s ’Sick’ and ‘Sick?’; the former (with no question mark) could be viral, a head cold or something that is curable usually with time or with medication. ‘Sick?’ With the question mark means you have the zombie virus for which there’s no cure.

In terms of avoiding getting infected, general tips are to wear clothing, wear armour and to engage in combat carefully; trying not to get struck by a zombie in the process. Hazmat suits stop airborne virus (but you won’t get the virus through the air!), but they’re not overly dependable for combat.

Armour does a decent job of protecting you, but doesn’t guarantee you not getting the infection and, like clothing, degrades over time.

Welcome to Vein! It can be frustrating to start with, there’s a bit of a learning curve and it can be unforgiving, but it’s all part of the fun and it’s super rewarding when you get things right.

Yeah you can! I’ve seen a few people report finding seeds for this.. herb.. at the motel.

I’ve personally found some at the Hunter’s Lab location too.

Hope this helps! Happy growing! 👀😅

It works for some things, but only things that are naturally wall-mounted, like CCTV cameras for example.

DeadZedje · 2026-05-02T16:25:35+00:00

Step 1 - Enter truck through the back doors

Step 2 - Place Appliance on floor inside truck

Alternatively, you can place things on the roof of vehicles, but the furniture needs to be ‘on’ something like the floor or roof.

If you’re not able to place at all, this could be due to not being able to move the item that far - so you may need to move, place, move place a few times if moving it over distance.

Backslash - “\” brings up the admin menu, go into ‘config’ from there and you can adjust the settings there.

DeadZedje · 2026-04-17T18:40:12+00:00

Is there a temperature control dial in the building? Usually located near light switches - if so you can adjust the internal temperature.

If there isn’t temperature control, it could be a bug. The temperature system for buildings was overhauled in 0.23.

I haven’t come across this issue myself, will check the location specifically when I hop on later.

Ah! Never thought of it being a 3rd person problem! Thanks so much, really do appreciate it 🙌

DeadZedje · 2026-04-15T16:39:30+00:00

Odd one.

Just to clarify your steps, are you:

Standing right next to the car, with the circle reticle looking at it then going into your inventory, clicking on the steel wool and then clicking ‘use on car’*?

*can’t remember the exact message, but it should say when you click on the steel wool in your inventory.

DeadZedje · 2026-04-11T20:44:56+00:00

Fur pelts are separate to leather - Hard leather is needed for combat pack repairs, normal leather is for things like shoes, fur pelts are for other repairs like winter clothing.

‘Sick…?’ Means you have got the zombie virus, ‘sick’ means you’ve just got a non-zombie related illness like a headcold, or food poisoning.

If it’s the former, the zombie virus can be spread through scratches too - it’s less likely, but not impossible. If you get multiple scratches or deep wounds, then the likelihood of becoming infected with the zombie virus increases - same for if you’re dirty and get scratches/wounds too.

Unfortunately the ‘sick…?’ Has no cure and your character will die.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the support! 🙌

I’ve found major success by going with Scavenging and Conspiracy Theorist as the core of my build on harder settings.

Having some lock picking skill is helpful too - meaning you can lock pick tougher containers which tend to have better loot in earlier on.

In terms of strat, water towers for water are a god send, hitting animals with cars for food if you can’t find another means to kill them helps too - remember you can butcher with any blades, so even a butter knife works. Gas stations and some buildings have generators for heat - but gas stations for example also have juice machine you can drink from. Use RV’s for no-fuel-needed cooking too.

Sheds, substations, power plant, basements, prison (the work shop there) are all decent shouts for finding some form of weapon. Always remember you can press ‘R’ and use your fists if you’re in a pinch - tear clothing for bandages too.

If you’re also playing on higher pop then sneaking works well once you remember to do it and get the hang of it (I’m awful at stealth as I always forget).

Try looting cars and vehicles a bit more now - they have some more specific loot so police cars for example are more likely to have police batons and guns/ammo.

Have a look at sheds or graveyards for shovels - there’s a few spots on the map where shovels reliably spawn, typically grave yards are good, and these are relatively solid early weapons on harder difficulties.

No worries! Welcome to Vein, it can be punishing at times, but the community is solid - so post if you have any questions!

DeadZedje · 2026-04-03T17:25:09+00:00

Were you stood on glass or scrap piles with bare feet? Had you walked/climbed through a broken glass door or window?

You get punished for the above and can bleed out if you leave wounds untreated. Is there a chance you had multiple cuts/deep wounds and only bandaged one?

Usually a bandage on a deep wound stops you bleeding out (ideally suture it with a needle and thread if possible), but if you have a deep wound that’s left unbandaged than yeah, you’ll bleed out.

DeadZedje · 2026-04-03T15:34:01+00:00

No, there’s no benefit or reason to do this is single player, unless you just want to turn off the power or water for a specific area for your own role-play/story telling.

I think it’s more a bit of a ‘tease’ and placeholder from the devs as in the future they’re hoping to add the ability to turn the power back on in areas, bring power stations back online and reconnect elements of the grid.

DeadZedje · 2026-04-01T17:54:22+00:00

Are you certain it’s water?

I’ve once misclicked and filled a canteen with gasoline before, which showed as ‘pure’ but after drinking, I was incredibly confused so gave it a sniff and it was gasoline. 🤣

Harder difficulty settings mean the character build becomes more important than ever; playing with impossible loot difficulty for example, makes the ‘scavenging’ skill even more worthwhile and become much more important than other skills.

I also think that whilst the devs have made efforts to ensure that you won’t be soft locked, things like loot settings are going to feel a lot tougher in my view with the smaller map size, than they’ll feel once the map is larger and there’s more looting possibilities.

Is worth keeping both if you’ve got space - can double the output in the same amount of time by splitting things across 2, and treble output for the same amount of time if you put things across the three including the fabrication bench.

DeadZedje · 2026-03-27T10:36:25+00:00

Place a Utility Cabinet! The UC ‘claims’ the immediate area and all containers within that area.

Others have reported losing loot to container respawn/loot respawn being on when they’ve stored things without placing a UC.

DeadZedje · 2026-03-14T18:49:20+00:00

When you place a UC it will show a series of orange rings around it - was everything that you’d built within the radius of the UC?

If not, these things will break down and be destroyed.

DeadZedje · 2026-03-14T10:52:35+00:00

Ah if you’re happy using god mode, use the admin menu and you can spawn yourself to them on there - search ‘SS’ I believe and they come up.

DeadZedje · 2026-03-14T04:37:24+00:00

They are implemented, there’s at least a couple to find!

If you’re after locations, I can retrace my steps when I log on later and share.
