Overview

• Build 42 introduces a reworked crafting system, adding blacksmithing, pottery, and tools for long-term survival without relying on pre-apocalypse loot.
• The update expands the map with new towns, underground areas, and procedurally generated wilderness, alongside high-rise buildings and basements.
• New gameplay features include animal husbandry, hunting, fishing, and over 50 crop types with seasonal growth mechanics.
• Other enhancements include improved lighting, randomized zombie stats, better gunplay, and dynamic environmental storytelling elements.
• Currently available as an unstable beta, Build 42 is incompatible with previous saves and mods, with bugs and balance issues expected as player feedback is collected.
