FAQ: Red ❌ Error When Launching Asylum

Q: I downloaded Asylum but I'm getting a red ❌ error when launching the game. How do I fix it?

A: In most cases, this happens because your game is missing the 0_TFP_Harmony folder or you're not running the correct version of 7 Days to Die.

Recommended Fixes

1. Verify Your Game Files

In Steam:

Open your Steam Library.
Right-click 7 Days to Die.
Select Properties.
Open Installed Files.
Click Verify integrity of game files.

This will restore any missing vanilla files, including the 0_TFP_Harmony folder if it has been removed.

2. Make Sure You're Using the Correct Game Version

Asylum 3.0.1 is built for:

7 Days to Die V3.0.1 Stable

If you're using an experimental or incorrect game version, switch to the stable release through Steam before launching the game.

3. Check Your Mods Folder

After verifying your files, ensure the 0_TFP_Harmony folder is present inside your game's Mods folder.

Harmony is required for Asylum and many other mods that use custom code.

Blood Lust Smell Remover

The Blood Lust debuff leaves your character covered in the scent of blood, making survival even more dangerous. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to deal with it.

Ways to Remove Blood Lust

Wet Rags

Wet Rags are the most common consumable used to remove the blood smell effect.

UBBI Shower

The UBBI Shower provides a reusable way to wash away the Blood Lust smell without consuming Wet Rags.

The shower can be crafted or placed as part of the Bathroom Furniture Multiblock.

How to Use the UBBI Shower

Place the Bathroom Furniture shower Multiblock.
Build or install the UBBI Shower.
Use the Wire Tool to activate the shower.

The shower does not require electricity to function—it simply needs to be activated with the Wire Tool.

Additional Tip

If you're experiencing the visual hallucination or "tripping" effects associated with Blood Lust, equip Crimson Clarity Goggles.

UBBI Shower → Removes the blood smell.
Wet Rags → Removes the blood smell.
Crimson Clarity Goggles → Counter the Blood Lust visual effects.

This gives you both a reusable base solution (UBBI Shower) and a portable field solution (Wet Rags) for managing Blood Lust.
