Project Zomboid's Build 42 beta adds new features and challenges for players

Project Zomboid's Build 42 beta introduces significant updates, including basements, wild animals, and animal husbandry. Players can now explore new towns and engage in blacksmithing, enhancing the gameplay experience. In the new town of Echo Creek, players face tougher combat mechanics and can now find and utilize basements. One player discovers a farmhouse filled with chickens and decides to create an animal shelter. The player, now focused on caring for chickens and other farm animals, finds a new purpose in the game. The updates have added depth to the survival experience, shifting the focus from mere survival to animal care.
