Developers of Project Zomboid, The Indie Stone, just released a new video showing off some of the pottery crafting and animal pathing in their upcoming Build 42 update.
The upcoming Build 42 update for Project Zomboid is gearing up to be the largest the franchise has seen in some time. With a whole host of new professions, materials, and items available to players, the sky is really the limit when it comes to gathering resources and crafting in the upcoming enhancement. A video released from the team today gives players a sneak peek into what to expect when Build 42 drops.
Project Zomboid Build 42 Pottery Crafting Trailer
The trailer shows the player digging up clay deposits near the river, crafting a clay jar at the pottery wheel, and firing it at a kiln. Truly, the new crafting mechanics are going to go deep, allowing players a world of possibilities in the game world.
The video also shows off the crafting of some clay bricks to apply as shingles or on walls.
According to the developers in a recent post:
Remember, our benchmark is that a group of players should be able to build a functioning village even if spawning on a wilderness map with no signs of civilization. We want to make sure every aspect of crafting is covered to give multiplayer communities the opportunity to build and thrive, and provide modders with the tools required to make cool as hell expansive tech mods as seen on Minecraft, allowing Zomboid to become a more diverse survival, crafting and automation game modding platform in future.
Wandering Fauna Will Also Make an Appearance
In addition to the advanced crafting that was on display, the developers also shared behind-the-scenes development footage of the pathing for deer and other animals that will make their way to the game in the new update.
Build 42 is gearing up to be a rather revolutionary update for Project Zomboid and will likely bring back old players while attracting a whole new audience.
