In Project Zomboid, in the first days of survival, you have to explore the nearest locations in search of resources. There is a separate gathering function, with the help of which each player will be able to independently discover useful items on the ground. In this guide, we will show you how to get food and create your first weapon in Project Zomboid.
How to find food
To search for food in the game, a special gathering function is provided. To enable it, first of all, you need to click on the magnifying glass icon. It is located in the upper left corner of the screen in a specially located menu with various icons. After using the desired icon, the "Scout the area" window will open.
To activate the function, you must click on the "Enable search mode" button. After that, the viewing range of the character will decrease. Now the player needs to walk around the area until an eye icon is displayed above the hero's head. This symbol will prompt the user that an item has been found nearby. From now on, you just need to stand still. After a short period of time, a question mark and a small arrow will appear, which will tell you the exact location of the item.

There is also an additional function that will tell you the probability of finding items in the current area. Move the mouse over a small bright square in the "Scout the area" window. After that, the player will see a small window with the name of the location and a short description.
What can be found in the forest
In each location, you can find materials, food, animals, medicinal plants, and other items. Opposite each of them will display the probability of finding:
- very little;
- few;
- lot;
- lots of.
In the event of a critical situation and the complete absence of food with him, in the first place, the player is recommended to go to the forest to search for it. Here, products with the meaning “a lot” and “a lot” most often appear. Also in this location you can find a cricket or a cockroach that can be eaten.
Thrill-seekers can pre-cook the insects over a campfire or in the oven. Do not overdo it, otherwise the small living creatures will burn. In addition, do not forget that with prolonged operation of the oven, you can start a fire in the house and die from the consequences of fire.
How to get the starting weapon
Often, when looking for food, the player will come across branches, sticks and stones. If you use them together with rags or twine, you can craft the first tools. For example, given a sharp stone, a tree branch, and a rag, a player can craft a stone ax early in the game. Such items do not have much durability, but they can be used to fight the infected or for initial crafting.
Experienced players at the beginning of the game most likely will not go to the forest for gathering. Many durable tools are easy to pick up from warehouses. It is enough to get to them by car. Most likely, gathering will be useful to a player on a multiplayer server, where other users have already examined all the buildings in the city and did not leave a single item.
