So that everyone is aware. This is an Unstable Build, meaning that it's still in a beta test and work in process stage, meaning it will have problems and bugs that will need to be ironed out. The Unstable Build is for player feedback and to find and fix any bugs or problems, please be aware that this is not the full version with everything in it yet and Build 42 is still being worked on until it's finished and moved to the Stable Build.
I really enjoyed watching you play PZ. You really get into the game and play as your character, rather than talking about your personal life or chat back and forth with subscribers. Thanks for keeping the play through real and something I can immerse myself into.
the only concern i have is the new lighting. having pitch black, no literally jsut having your screen be off, while youre in a room with no light, seems a bit much. realistically it wouldnt be THAT dark. dark for sure, but atleast have a system that lets your eyes adjust to the darkness, and slowly becomes more bright
usually common house curtains, blinds, or shutters let in enough light during a bright or even overcast day to give a dim glow in a dark room. something that bugged me 🤷♂️
bit unrealistic for the room to be completely dark during day time, depending one the material of the curtains, some light is still able to shift through and brighten the room up a tiny bit
Pitch darkness seems a bit over the top. Basements can be dark, sure, but the inside of a house shouldn’t be completely black. There should be at least some light. Who has a house that turns pitch black during the day just by closing the curtains and doors?
@@Reustuss it would be cool if there was a difference between a lighter color material curtain and a black out curtain that varied the amount of light coming in
GREAT VIDEO! Sealed it on my temptation to jump in! 534.6 hours of play in PZ. Has been installed since I last played it, 18 Oct 2022. I think I must have had like 369 mods installed back then. Gotta go for it vanilla though, to see how it all hangs together, put me in a position to offer reasonable feedback . . . Been a while since I suffered any game-related emotional-damage . . . Here we go! UPDATED TO UNSTABLE!
Honestly, seeing this update first hand feels so much better than reading devlog after devlog, great work Arean, thinking of playing it right now after I finish watching your video
Its funny, yesterday i did the same challenge that You, with the diference is that i Spawn in the trailer park of muldraugh with the insane population settings as a guy with no job, run away from the city following the rail tracks of the south and finding a big truck abandoned in a road nearby, with good condition and keys to use (even the trunk was filled with beer, candys and clothes!!), but without one tire and fuel, so i spent like four real hours visiting every place in the contryside around the city looking for tools and fuel, killing zombies in my way and avoiding big hordes in the roads using the forest as a cover (i even found several secret camp locations in the deepest parts, and in the first one i found a big gun case in the floor with a damaged Shotgun and a pristine m16, with ammo boxes for both!!), when i finish i manage to return to the truck, fix it, and storage inside all the good stuff i found. After fill the tank to the brim, i jump in the driver seat and drive away in the main highway to brandenburg. The most part of the travel was very chill, with no zombies in sigth and just two or three burning cars in a side of the path, so in order to not die from boredom i turn on the radio and past the time listening to the dairys broadcasts, but in other moments i have to quick react to avoid hordes blocking the road without crash, or the big ones that were searching for preys in the locations next to road. After that i reach brandenburg and make my way in, less to say that i end in shock when i see what was waiting for me there, i never in my life see so many zombies roaming in one place at the same time, they were like 3000 or 4000 making my game lag as hell, so i hurry up before they reach to me, stomp the gas, and start running over the weakess parts of the horde, crossing the city like a miracle and got out of there before it was to late, leaving them behind me and escaping alive. After that i turn in a contry road and follow it until reach some kind of country INN that i decide it was gonna be my base, the bad side is the place was covered with a very big horde in the parking lot, so since i was tired of running away i take out My weapons and Say: "fuck it, that shit is M-I-N-E!!!", and throw myself to the battle, during the figth i Lost all my melee weapons, most of my clothes were torn apart and half of the place was destroyed, but i manage to win and take the place, now since i claim it i need to clean it, repair it, organice it, and fortifite it to make a good home to survive the rest of my life in build 42.
Just found your channel and have to say I LOVE the way this is edited. the way you cut your commentary and your background music to let the game speak for itself is amazing! Adding a story while showing off new things made this SO much better than all the other videos of people reading a list or some unedited 4 hour gameplay. Thanks!
they should add tractors and attachments to them and so it whoudn't be too op the tractors whould eat a lot fuel and the parts whould be pretty rare but they could be crafted
I started in Echo Creek myself. After about 3 days of clearing the surrounding area, I decided to go to the shooting range just East of Echo Creek. I was not prepared for the MASSIVE horde that occupied the area. I love how this update has made things like a Flashlight MORE valuable at night and especially when the power goes out. The Generator was always something you wanted, but now with the new lightning system, when the power goes out, either that Flashlight gets more used meaning more Batteries, or that Generator is really needed. Certainly enjoying this update and looking forward to what else will be added before this goes stable.
I love everything from this new build, but the things I love the most are skyscrapers, they make the town looks more like a populated town and big.. but I love absolutely the churches hahaha
I love the new update, but I got some problems with it, here are the problems: 1st: The reticle, Guns now have a reticle that is difficult to aim with, I can't even shoot a zombie on the ground because my character would just point his gun to nowhere and i have to back up just to shoot the zombie dead 2nd: The lighting system, now I'll be in pitch black and don't even know where to even the light switch, but they have an orange light which I can go and turn it on but sometimes it can be in a different angle where I can't see it 3rd: New zombie heat map, zombies are more in cities but in rural areas are not, this basically turns the game into Stealth game, where I need to sneak around just so i do not get chased by a huge walking horde 4th: Muscle Strains, the muscle can come from swinging your weapons a lot of times, this can cause muscle strains which will give you debuffs on your arms, but you can disable them in the sandbox settings, this also applys to your legs if you stomp too much. These are the Problems, let me know if I miss some of them
Echo creek is such a great starting area. Super small houses so not many zombies but still enough loot to keep you alive for a while. Ive been living in the gas station there and hitting surrounding areas for re upping my supplies. Lots of farms in echo creek as well
"The outdoor light was the only thing allowing me to see... The rest was pitch black." Looks like SOMEONE didn't take the Cats Eye Trait~! Yeah, that one still works, but only for if you're outside.
4:45 if having competition shows you anything good its that you can make your own product better, this measuring system for consuming products is in "humanitz" a game still in development
I see a new Arean video. I click. Good stuff, brother! I do miss the old cross lug nut tool but the tire iron looks good also. My dad had one of those cross ones back in the early 90s.
I really wish they added different lighting in the daytime so the game doesn’t look so bright. Like proper shadows and stuff. I know they showed off the nighttime and some lighting but the daytime still looks meh. They need to add a filter or something to make it a bit more grungy so the grass isn’t like Minecraft green lol
Its so fun but its SO much harder now hahahah. Also make sure you clean blood off yourself it makes a significant difference than before and makes you super uncomfortable which strongly affects your aim
Hi everyone, after the new update whenever i open the game the whole screen is black,the menu music is still playing and i can hear the lightning but as i said the whole screen is black,can someone please help me:(
I like the new lighting, but I just don't understand how closing a curtain in a bathroom turns it pitch black, or how a street light fades away entirely in 3 meter radius. Does someone agree with me?
I agree. The lighting changes are really good, but seem really unrealistic sometimes. I made a suggestion on The Indie Stone forums regarding it and I've seen a bit more discussion about it so hopefully it's something that will be changed before the full release (or, at least, something a modder will take it upon themselves to change)
Is anyone having any issues with opening doors i recently downloaded B42 and as a result i cannot open any doors i keep on getting errors when i attempt to does anyone have a fix?
I was going to wait to stable to check it out but I just had to have a look. Theres not a single bad thing here (once its been tweaked a bit). Musle fatigue and darkness is a bit much but once reduced and tweaked, it'll be a near perfect update in my book. Possible controversial opinion but I like that they are making it much harder, game feels a bit to easy (and boring) once you know how it works. They just have to tweak it to still be fun and not way too hard. Cant wait for stabe.

I've been playing with mods and I've only had one little bug with the zombies falling the wrong way but that's it
How have you been playing with mods when there is none ?
@@BEanz911 Modders have already released B42 versions of some mods. On the Steam workshop there are already 342 items tagged with Build 42 support.
@@CamoCraft109 That's so impressive
I was on last night there was nothing lmao I hope to god they did inventory Tetris

The little panicked noises and grunts and pained slips of the tongue when the player character gets scratched or falls are so nice.

Maybe that'll be fixed since this is an unstable of the build
That will be good suggestions for dev
I told the devs about this on their steam page

Even blackout curtains don’t block 100% of light. Not to mention a standart curtains…

Absolutely love your videos! The stories you craft, and the way you narrate, just makes me care so much more about your character.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO NEW UPLOAD BABY
Can’t wait for modders to add bears that maul zombies and players alike now that animals are in
1:36 We know what happened before the outbreak started;)
😭

Looks like SOMEONE didn't take the Cats Eye Trait~!
Yeah, that one still works, but only for if you're outside.
i like how you talk in video so good
I love the new lighting system, it makes the game feel so much scarier and night more exciting, since you are constatnly on your toes, scared
Amazing video, I was really immersed and it got a bit scary at times. Very well done!
if build 42 is this great, imagine what b43 and the future builds will offer. I hope im still alive once those versions come up.
Yo love your videos, i can't wait to get more stories from your PZ adventure !!!
Hey man. Love the videos. I’m currently away from my pc on holiday but because of you it feels like I am still playing. Cheers
I had a good run yesterday until I decided to wash my clothes and boots. Long story short I stepped in glass and limped my way to getting eaten.
great video! Always enjoyable to listen too your stories!
Going back to your roots, I like it!
Can't wait for multiplayer to come out
hopefully teakes less than 4 years this time after getting the test version , maybe 2 years if we are lucky
The devs said it's already mostly functional and it isn't being rewritten like B41. I'm sure it won't take crazy long but who knows.
Hell yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh, arean finally came back to his old style 🎉🎉🎉🎉
11:23 nice your character knows what’s up prolly jus needed a toke😂
Awesome video with phenomenal storytelling as always
Glad to see you back at the game
Looks awesome!!!!! The body carrying animations are dope.
btw you can use sheet to make some sort backpack
4:45 if having competition shows you anything good its that you can make your own product better, this measuring system for consuming products is in "humanitz" a game still in development
Really hope you do a series with multiple characters in zomboid, just regular people learning how to survive
Im gonna be honest... i really hate the new moodles
I see a new Arean video. I click. Good stuff, brother! I do miss the old cross lug nut tool but the tire iron looks good also. My dad had one of those cross ones back in the early 90s.
Old one is still in the game, you can use both. And there is even a ratchet.
@@paulaliasrytir7994 ooohh! I didn't know! thank you!
your story telling is something else
I can't wait for the mods to come out where you can throw mustard gas at people in multiplayer :>
The light system is going to be actually hard core.
I hope someone makes a candle mod and we can make candles through animal fat
Btw, you can create a starting backpack with one sheet now
Did the ingame music changed or is it music, from your playlist?
I loved this.. I love everything about this
We need part 2 ASAP
Pls continue 🥺

The thumbnail is not the best, but the video is incredible and I would always watch something made by you.
I wonder how cats eyes affects the darkness, since that perk is an assistant to going out at night
Saw notice and quickly tap it
I LOVE YOUUUU AREEAAANNNNN

Arean, rate this update from 1 to 10.
I just hit a deer with my car earlier and now I shall experience the same thing in game XD
I don't think working at a 7/11 is gonna save my ass
Did you use any mods or is this from the unstable build alone?
Does anyone know how to make a Molotov in b42 or if it just does t exist rn
Is there a simple save feature yet?
I need to know the end of this character's story!
day 1 craft a sheet into a sheet sling bag. 60% weight reduction about 12 capacity.
When I saw how he almost bit you leaving only a scratch, I thought to myself: "Arean you're getting old" but I hope you get younger :)
I can't crouch in the game anymore, it just puts me in the attack position when I press c or ctrl.
How do I crouch?
Try rebinding the correct key to crouch
@@nlkmos7202 I didn't see a option for crouching in the keybinding menu though.
@@nlkmos7202 Okay I press c it works now for some reason.
The GOAT.
But the most important question:
Do we have 4k support with the UI yet? :)
Hello from spain
Is anyone having any issues with opening doors i recently downloaded B42 and as a result i cannot open any doors i keep on getting errors when i attempt to does anyone have a fix?
you can hold E to throw the body through the window
Build 42 looks so, so, soo good. Nothing more to say😂.
yo bro, do u have a burglar occupation? because u can turn on cars without a key, and i would like to say that this video is so fckin good men
1:36 i swear i think everyone is right why is project zomboid becoming project freakzoid
i can not find part 42, how can? i am playing part 41.
is there a way to disable spawning with a gun?
if so where is it?
Ditch it in the woods
Greetings from the real Brandenburg
I fell through an invisible hole on a stair 😂
I feel like nothing haven’t changed much. I still love the game tho

Yep, b42 gonna be a blast, still i gotta save up tp upgrade my pc
For everyone else thats aware and unaware. This game has been in “alpha/beta” testing for 11 years. Youd think itll be ready by now…..
part 2 please!
Seems nice
Oh... Ur alive
how to download it? no update on steam wtf
YOU CAN PET THE COW LETS GOOOO
Turn on melee outline targeting. Would've saved you from getting that first scratch.
at 12:17 you drew a horse with the blood
very interesting story like video
yeeeeah, no. They went way to overboard with the new "lighting" a room without a light on doesn't suddenly turn into the abyss
Good Story
Wish i could play, but all i get is a black screen and can only hear the menu music 😢
Very nice 👍
Some mods came like it's loading a little
Lol I love reloading the workshop to see like five new mods got updated already and then another five and another.
NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE MOODLES!
