according to the developers they would like to add digging to basements but it would be a hassle and a pain to implement in engine so at lest in unstable it wont happen and probably not on initial launch
This year? iIn this planet? I think they meant year on Saturn.

With all the things happening in the world those day I have a feeling that we more likely will get build 42 IRL with radioactive zombies and ghouls
I'm so fucking ready.
I'm just fucking stoked to have something to do once I've set up a generator at the gas station and a handful of water barrels in my house by the lake. It's cool and good to set arbitrary goals for myself like "Oh I'm gonna clear this whole area", but at present I have no actual reason, no carrot at the end, to do that beyond simply for its own sake.

Do extremely rare loot, start at one of the first spots (can't remember the name sorry) and go around the big cities until you finally reach louisville then clear the giant mall. Got me probably a hundred hours and had many interesting moments, definitely recommend this playthrough.

Its the main reason why i avoid playing the game. It gets depressing fast as it reminds me the futility of life. Not really something i want a game to make me think
Thanks for making this. I dont think most people realize just how absolutely huge B42 is, so they don't understand why it's taking this long. Admittedly still a bit frustrating though.

They claimed that none of the other further updates would take as long as build 41 did, because they had to recreate the whole combat engine, and update the model into 3D ones, yet, this one is in development since early 2022. And I am feeling that they add totally unnecessary minor updates too, like the fishing or the liquid system, which could wait til other updates. And maybe - but just maybe - if they planning to add such a big update, they should cut into smaller minor updates, where player could get to know with the system, test it, and report the bugs on the get go. Better than releasing the update after 2-3 years, and bugfixing for 1 more year as Build 41 did. Delaying works on further possible updates. Im a bit scared that the NPC update will take so much more time than this one. And stable NPC build would be out in 2027

@@empat8052with the speed of development we see in this game, it's better to stop thinking about NPCs for now. thinking about NPCs is like you're on a diet and you stash a snack somewhere in the house for a time of need and you hope to forget it to find it later and be happy. but even just 1 day after you stash it you remember where it is and take it out and eat it. i haven't really followed zomboid's development pre-2023, so this may be a harsh and unjust evaluation of its development, but if the game took 11 years to develop to this point and this is what they have to show for, i am a bit underwhelmed. yes b42 sounds huge but i agree that time *was* wasted on some not very much needed mechanics like fluids and color mixing like wtf. if devs have time to focus on trivial stuff like that, then why not make quality of life improvements? vehicle sounds are abysmal. character animations are in the game's code but not functional without mods. like i don't understand what they are trying to work on. they feel all over the place for me. yes i know the game will be great when it's finished but, i hope it finishes before i freakin die you know i'd like to play the finished version before that happens. being proud of your studio's non crunch work environment is very natural. but you should also be able finish your projects. i don't really care about an amazing car that took 30 years to make. i also don't care about a car that took 30 days to design/build/deliver which is completely half baked and terrible either. there is a middle line that the product should aim to be. devs missed that line for this product, to me at least. fingers crossed though. i'm waiting for now
Thank you for covering it, definitely looking forward into playing this "after years" map type

Aside of optimization and lighting witch are super necessary. The most important thing, Very deep, are the animal. Havening a third type of element moving in the map with zombies and the player will change for ever the game. Many of the charges are actual mods . I like the idea of fishing, actual system is broken and not feel imersive. I hope point more things like that

It doesn't help. The world will still feel dead until there are human NPCs. The animals barely have AI. They just roam around mindlessly for the most part.
The devs shouted out this vid. Thanks for the amazing summary
I'm so excited for the animals. The ones you mentioned PLUS we've been getting easter eggs for a long time for dogs, cats, bears, wolves, coyotes, turkeys, and possibly birds because of the sound of various seagulls and things like kites. Really looking forward to b42! I hope we get it for Christmas again like they did a couple years ago giving us MP for that one winter break

Also can you imagine some OP character that's in a MP server that's been alive for like 3 years in game, and they only go out into the wilderness with a hunting knife. They come back with a bear pelt and 100+ lbs of Bear Meat (Fresh)
I love it all. However my favorite is the new parts and conditions pieces of weapons. Second is the modders getting an upgrade to modding ability. I can see a ton of good things to do (wish I was a modder). Different trees for different wood (different durability dut to "hardness"), different metals and probably different forging techniques, making glass items, i can see molds being hige for making cast iron or making engine blocks or parts. I love crafting and smithing.

I really hope the are going to add a basement for the military base, the elevators arent there for no reason so i think that would be a coll place for a secret lab or a bunker (32 floors down is extremly deep so i dont think normal basements will be that deep, i think they made it that deep for bunkers or smth, build 42 will be amazing with all the new features), the ideo also talks about NPCs, i hope that the gunshot event will have real NPCs that are shooting that you can kill for loot or smth.

I love the consideration for modders.
Pretty stoked for this build. I've never made it to end game, but I've been playing zomboid again when I heard about this dropping this year. Especially the 100 years later and the forest map. Relying solely on survival in the wilderness is an awesome concept
Amazing video! Really hyped for next PZ Build 42. Just want to know when it will be released.
i just started playing PZ again after i got it 5years ago, and its rough but thats the charm, overall im looking forward to all the new stuff, however for better immersion, at least for me since i play alone atm, i would say basements and taller buildings, and animals are on the top of the list, especially if the zombies try and catch animals, because that would lead to some cool moments imo, being out hunting in the woods, then you spot a deer jumping passed you, with a small following of zombies
This is going to be super overwhelming
Wow we can comment. Amazing work to all the devs on this project. I'll be 42 this year this is a new classic. Thank you!!! Game of the year 2028 I call it.🚀
I can’t wait. I’m a little sad about one or two map incompatibilities, but we’re getting so much more in return for it.

No, just Build 41 has done as much. They used to do small updates. There have been over 40 builds, after all. But they decided it would be better to just release massive content updates, instead of smaller ones that they would have to do bugfixing on for a month.
This is bigger than build 41 and ok so STOKED FOR IT

Devs have confirmed it’s coming out in the first half of 2024, so much hype for this update!
I believe they should think of some sort of "guide map" for the procedural generation, so the generation follows the shape of real world locations up to the world limits. Modders would have a blast with that.
I like zomboid a lot. this features are awesome. I hope they fix dissapearing zombie in MP. And i wish world become more dynamic. zombie "locked" in nearby chunks, they dont gather in huge hordes and dont move searching player in other part of the world
They are actually buffing rate of fire. I REALLY hope that mean we get REAL Full Auto Rifles and SMGs. Also let's hope that Brita's mods and the Horde Night mod will still work with build 42 EDIT: Also seeing how The Workshop mod is so popular i can imagine we can get even better Scrap weapons and armor mods with build 42
Maybe I missed it but I think both the refillable and player-owned vending machines (Super cool for mp server) and the reworked occupation and trait system are missing here. Anyways its a great video regardless!
We know what will be in update 42 but what about update 43 will there be finally be the return of the npcs then I hope they add the Hecu
Don't worry. I'll be inspired to create a 420 mod. You could do strains to smoking them for various benefits. Would be fun! Legal in Canada after all.
This is amazing. Wish they worked like this back in the day on Ultima Online :D
I am so hyped !!! And I think the new lights system and cone of vision and FPS imrovements are the things that hype me the most !!! I stopped the game because even with a good computer it run baddly... (because a lot of mods too xD), so I hope that will help a lot ! They said the game will run WAYYYY better even if the game will be more beautiful so this is hype !!! And new animals / decoratives items !

They will be droping the unstable version of b42 this year. Currently a teen and once b43 comes out I might already have my own family and kids once the npc’s come out 😂
lol i think pretty much everyone knows how huge this will be considering the game has had no update since 2022. BUT that hasnt stopped me nor many people i know from playing it in that time, it is a great game.
Hoping single player still remains solid and you can still grind out enough of all of the skills if you really try.
