What difficulty level are you playing in?

With the rabbits and deer, when you butcher them and the skeleton is left behind, right click it and choose take bones. That will give you very large xp for butchering. Also that sky walkway you would have passed under, please don't walk it, especially up top where it runs parallel to the sheds with the green roofs into the back building, there is nothing there but a 3 story drop either to your death or broken legs if you're lucky.

I have looked at this place and determined it is impossible to clear by hand, there are hundreds of Z's.. i will try a few fires outside the fence and Q them for a mass burning .....

you need to stand next to a counter or a surface to cook and prepare stuff, cant do it in the middle of the room

Rabbits, rats and mice all can end up sticking around in husbandry zones if they first enter it. Not sure why it works like that, but I like it. I've got a small spot where I've gathered a whole bunch of mice in my current playthrough. x'D Thinking of establishing a pen for rats as well.

After filling, put the water pots in the cupboard. All drainables are bugged on the floor. ALL.

The new crafting takes some getting used to, but you can typically do all the things you could do previously, but stuff is just rearranged into different menus. Importantly, things are divided up into separate crafting menus, beyond the one you open to do 'surface' crafting. Each 'machine', such as the loom, pottery wheel, forge, etc... has it's *own* set of craftables, so there's TONS beyond what's available in that base menu. To really get into crafting, you'll either need to find the workstations, or build them, which means leveling a lot of skills, like Foraging, Carpentry, Carving, etc... before you can even get into the 'new' profession crafting skills. For example, to even start forging, you'll need around level 3 in all of those, plus Pottery and probably more, just to get into level 1 Smithing, *plus* you'll need all the recipes! It's MUCH more complicated, but also much more realistic and much more powerful. Examples: You'll need to Forage stones and clay to build the forge. You'll need to build moulds for things like your crucible and for metal casting. So Carpentry. Carving for handles. ...And that's as far as I've gotten yet.

I've found to make stew or soups have the pot on you then right click should bring up what it can do.

"Why is it so crowded?" Because this is America, and in times of crisis, we rush the stores and hoard hoard hoard. It's a good thing there isn't a toilet paper factory in game, or that place would be more crowded than Louisville

That umbrella zeke is a hoot.

What are the debuffs associated with that uncomfortable Moodle? That combined with muscle strain gives build 42 this annoying naggy component. At least you can turn muscle strain off in the sandbox settings.

I noticed that if the cooking pot isn't completely full with water it doesn't let you cook anything, sometimes my character takes a sip from the cooking pot instead of the bottle...

I've seen that "gun range" take dayssssss to clear.

Fences are you friend especially in this build we re more stamina limited in big fights. The less we swing, the longer we can fight. I get that you might want skill progression with swings, but it’s slowing you down clearing large groups. Another thing, in privous build, it’s well known that when targeting knocked down zombies, you stand on zombies head for execution(one hit kill). That’s because in the situation particularly, game determines where you hit not by the weapon model where it hit, but by player model where you stand. B42 in my experience changed a bit, but I think it’s still true for some weapon. At least don’t waste your stamina hitting their feet or torso.

Agreed that the cooking needs work before full release

Has is been mentioned yet? You keep getting cut opening cans because you are using a knife. It's the first option. You need to select the other one.

Try making stir-fry/roast. Maybe they will work better, since they doesn't involve any fluids?

8:51 - Broken? You have almost 40% durability left. Having said that, the garden fork is probably slightly better than the bat, since it has more range.

To limit muscle strain and preserve weapon durability, try to finish off zombies by stomping their heads instead of using your weapon, when they're on the ground. That way that part of the muscle strain goes to your legs, and the durability loss goes to your boots instead (new boots are reasonably easy to find).

Im only half way through the video and commenting so i dont forget! Forgive me if you figure it out in the back half lol. You use the brains for tanning the leather.

To use noodles, fill a cooking pot (not a saucepan) with clean water, right-click on it while it's in your inventory and the noodles are also in your inventory (or within a 1-tile range), and you should see the option to make soup and make stew. Either one will let you add noodles, IINM. Note that some items come packaged and you need to open them first. Check your crafting > cooking menu, they should be listed there (again: make sure they're in your inventory or are within a 1-tile range).

Saucepans are a bit buggy (ex., you can boil them for a whole day and that still won't purify water in them). Use regular (big) cooking pots, baking pans and frying pans instead, those seem to be working fine. Make sure the pots are _full_ of water, though. I'm not sure why you're having trouble filling them, because you made a lot of cuts to that part of the video. You need to have the pot as the target, something else as the source and then drag the cursor to say how much water you want to transfer. Alternatively, click some water source like a sink and just select "fill cooking pot", and it'll add however much is missing. Also, note that even though a soup or stew is going to boil anyway, if the water is tainted you need to boil it on its own first (to remove the tainted icon), and only then can you right-click to "create stew / soup".

Comments are fun

This playthrough thus far has just convinced me to turn off muscle strain entirely. x'D No regrets. - Poor rabbits :< - animal brains are for making tanning fluids, I think.

So, a lot of things that were in the right-click menu are now only in the crafting menu, but I think the main issue with your cooking right now is the lack of a surface: many crafting recipes now require you to be next to a surface, so a table or a kitchen counter. Your cooking pots are in the middle of the room, so can't cut food into a stew while standing in the middle of the room with no surface nearby. That does mean that your fridge is in a not so great position in that kitchen, though.

1:50 Yes. But my PC is trash... But lagging a lot while driving.

I consider this episode informative, not boring. Everyone playing this game will go through this scenario so you are providing a valuable service by showing the ropes, so to speak. I also appreciate the fact that you made a conscious effort not to spew profanity's due to your frustration. A very mature and civil trait indeed, especially on the internet where so many young minds can be exposed.👍

Kudos. Your commentaries are a hoot. LOL

its safer unless it explodes from condition

Baseball bats are great, but note that if you repair them, durability will _appear_ to go back to 100%, but it's actually less than 50% of an unrepaired bat. So "repairing" a bat too soon actually makes it _worse,_ although the UI suggests it's better. They really need to show durability numbers, not just an abstract bar.

Can the hay bales be stacked to make barricades?

Just use car to move them. Its what I do. Miles less time and hassle.

Have you tried molotov's for zeke crowd control?

Well done. I appreciate the informative gameplay and absence of profanity, kudos to you. I've watched many other gamers play this. Your gameplay, by far, has been the most well rounded and informative. I've learned quite a bit from you while learning almost nothing from channels with a million+ subscribers... GO FIGURE.

You can fill up a rain collector with gasoline. Make sure you have a hammer in your inventory and have a empty car seat to put the barrel in. Also put the barrel indors so the gasoline doesn’t become contaminated with water. I used this trick to have gasoline at all times.

Don't know, but might the brain be used for tanning leather?

Those sped up zombies sound like Donald Duck. LOL

A 'salt lick' can generally be used as a lure for animals, generally deer. It's basically a block of salt.

Can you wear socks when there are bandages on your feet?

Yes it lags really bad over time... Thanks. You're the first to say this. Everyone else lies and talks about that nobody cares about. Your video is entertaining and full of helpfulness. Well done.

Mine does that jerking driving and I have a 9800x3d so…

How did you pull out the flashlight without using the inventory menu?

How did you pullout a flashlight without using the inventory menu?

Looks like the last update made the “How to use a Generator” magazine the most popular rag on the shelves.

I've started B42 just the other day and have based in Echo Creek. I've also been getting lag spikes when driving but I haven't made it as far as the chicken farm... in fact I didn't even know there was a chicken farm in the area until today (still haven't left the town itself yet).

Go out to the highway and then north. It's really not that far from those houses you went to at the start. Get to mad dans den. It's freaking mad lad!

You are carrying too much stuff and taking damage which is why heart is shaking
