Verified overview

Gear & Survival in GRAIN ROT

Launch build · checked 2026-08-12 · Last checked 2026-08-12

System overview

Preserve useful gear, repair eligible items after the second-floor machine is available, and treat unsupported combat tricks as unverified.

How It Works

Survival is not a separate mode from progression: keeping useful equipment and returning with resources supports the Outpost loop. Reliable guidance distinguishes what is confirmed from tactics that still need direct evidence.

Repair and Durability

The repair answer labels the second-floor machine and its reported cost as community-tested, then keeps the boundary around eligible items visible. It avoids a guessed full compatibility list and does not present Healing Glue as a universal repair tool.

Safer Runs

Plan a run around extraction, visibility, and the group’s current capability. If an enemy tactic depends on a specific interaction that has not been fully verified, it remains out of the launch pages rather than being converted into a generic rule.

What We Are Still Verifying

Umbrella traversal and generic enemy tactics have demand but lack the necessary current-version evidence loop. They are not navigation destinations or sitemap entries in this release.
