The Use Value node

When to use it

Reads a value that a Declare Value node saved earlier.

The catch is reachability. The Declare node has to be part of the graph that actually gets compiled, which means it sits somewhere on the path back from Density to Mesh. Declare it on a branch that goes nowhere and the name is never defined, so this node falls back to 0 and posts a warning.

When a Use Value reads zero and you cannot see why, that is the first thing to check.
