Your First WEEK In Project Zomboid Build 42 | Day 6-7 Guide

[@namelessbeast4868]

Man, the double takes on this episode were brutal. I think this is a new record for Lime.

[@Pr1vateLime]

I am completely busy visiting family this week so I had to rush without sleep and proper self care to get some content done I’ll fix the retakes when I’m back home

[@Pr1vateLime]

Pinning this as well so people at least know to expect it until I get back home

@Pr1vateLime get some rest buddy, it's all good. Enjoy your time with family

[@BladeWalker91]

To all the new viewers, having every moodle in deep red is a channel special, get used to it. Here, eat this entire stick of butter, it's bulking season 😂

[@s0rx3l]

To be honest IT wouldn't BE the Same If he doesn't have the Red moodles Edit: before writing this He only Had a few, but few Seconds later IT was filled😂

[@wilhelmthegreat]

the blind leading the blind. its not that hard to keep your moodles in check, and it shouldn't be this much of an issue when making a new player's guide

[@Pr1vateLime]

Yeah when time becomes an issue I push harder than usual. The reason I didn’t wanna wait for all of my noodles to go back was simply for the fact that I wanted to complete the barricade segment before the chopper event. I’ll take the criticism though

[@basecoat1966]

Please keep this going. So much to learn with Build 42, even for veteran players. This "How to survive" series has a Bob the Builder series feel.

[@HarperSophia]

I second this

[@Calibur_o7]

this has helped me survive at least 2 days! love your series

[@Pr1vateLime]

That’s huge!!!! I hope you can go for 3!!!!

[@KaiReighn]

A little tip for new players: a house with barricaded windows is usually a survivor's house, which means there's some good loot to be found there, but in b42 the developers added abandoned houses that also have barricaded windows, but the loot inside isn't worth the risk. You can tell an abandoned house from a survivor's house by the Graffiti drawings on the walls of the abandoned house. Upd.: just had to clarify that you can in fact find a decent loot it abandoned houses but it is random just as in regular reaidential buildings

[@BeefGrease2912]

Yooo i know its only 40 minutes old, but this is some KEY info

[@mbos14]

This is how it always is highest luck when just testing stuff out. Worst of luck when you play for real. You could also always just make this a full series.

[@Pr1vateLime]

I’ll see about that

[@Pr1vateLime]

I’ll see about that!

[@BenjaminSmith-pr8hb]

​@@Pr1vateLime make it a full series

[@CausticPuffin]

I love the id cards. It adds a nice amount of depth.

[@Drie_Kleuren]

I am always keeping my ID cards for my character. Just carry it around always, Agreed its a fun little feature. Also the badges from police officers etc etc etc. Its so fun. I also love the random names hahaha

[@Pr1vateLime]

Makes zombies a lot more human for sure. Small changes like it are great!

[@CausticPuffin]

@ this is an excellent update. It’s feels way more alive. The animals are awesome.

[@entropic-decay]

for new players - if you decide on a place to fortify and use as a base long-term, and you want to get rid of the stink from a bunch of defeated undead around it, there's a couple things you can do: for one, just drag them somewhere else. slow, but very simple and doesn't require anything special. you can also dig graves with a shovel, if you have one. each grave can hold 5. finally, and most effective, is fire. try to keep it contained if you can, a gravel or concrete area where there's nothing for it to spread to is ideal. if you have decent metalworking and welding skill on your character, metal walls and floors work wonders for an ad-hoc crematorium.

[@entropic-decay]

also, if you're deciding to base in louisville for some insane reason and have chosen a few floors of one of the now much, much taller buildings to completely clear out, fortify, and make your home (why would you do this, you can't even farm up there), the push it somewhere else solution actually becomes a lot easier. just toss them out a window.

[@bokodasu]

Oh no I just realized I don't think putting them in dumpsters will work with the new dragging system, haven't tried yet but that was always my favorite.

[@bullseyebulldog8001]

Body dragging is kinda broken Rn. My Guy acts like he’s just done sit-ups, push ups, and burpees for an hour straight after moving 3 bodies 20 feet.

[@elandthirkhaoth4718]

As a note, maintenance is much harder to level up than before, the crowbar(and just about any weapon that also is marked as a tool) no longer give maintenance xp. Fastest method of gaining is repairing weapons/tools by using wood glue, glue, duct tape, or sharpening with a whetstone.

[@BeefGrease2912]

Always love to see some useful info on the changes to skill leveling, thanks!

[@SuperKneehow]

Uploading on Christmas. What a legend

[@Pr1vateLime]

Thanks, it took a lot of prep to have any sorts of videos ready on Christmas week

[@alexdh2001]

i'm so glad this new build has me watching your videos again! great stuff as always. i've also had insane luck on my first b42 playthrough- i found a generator magazine in the upstairs apartment of the diner/store/autoshop in echo creek and then found a generator chilling outside by one of the food truck things. then one of the houses had a key to an amazing condition taxi with 70% gas. you simply love to see it. i hope your luck continues too!

[@Cosmo_UwU98]

I have a tip for when the water runs out, sit up buckets outside, they’re basically free rain collectors

[@Pr1vateLime]

Very budget and helpful if you have a bunch, heard open containers slowly evaporate now so it will have downsides!!!

[@rodentnolastname6612]

"you can do that with napping" Great! I'm IN!!! oh, knapping... 😔🤣🤣

[@Pr1vateLime]

Easily confusing lmfao, a nap sounds real nice right about now

[@jeremybarrett3616]

Hope you're having a merry Christmas Lime. :3 A good thing to add might be that broken glass can be used as sound traps by placing them in blind corners around your home & that 3 planks lets you see out a window, but 4 covers it completely. You're doing a really good job though so far, I'm going to be recommending my friend who just got the game your videos as reference material.:P

[@beercatphil]

Love this series, it's nice to see you interact with regular PZ, new build notwithstanding. The really extreme scenarios you put yourself through are great but it's nice to just a regular start.

[@aiedenoldstien9751]

Honestly a full series of this exploring deeper into the new mechanics and maybe exploring the new region. Either that or maybe finding yourself starting a run as a rancher.

[@Moose-mt4ku]

Idk how I keep managing to open KZbin as soon as you post these videos

[@JakeFromSk8Farm]

Bruhh same lmfao

[@Pr1vateLime]

Me either, but it’s a cool power!

[@joshuabishop5980]

Need to be able to take crosses off insides of churches to place at your base

[@joshuabishop5980]

Also idk if it's always been like this but if you aim you can move through treelines as fast as you can aim move and you don't get cut by trees

[@Blaight_231]

Graham already lost 2 kilos :( Thanks for the first week stuff!

[@Pr1vateLime]

I’m glad you are enjoying it so far!!!!

[@mrjblacc85]

Quick tip: use some rope or sheet rope to tie up to 4 logs together for some major encumbrance reduction. Makes hauling logs much quicker

[@bunbun622]

the best christmas gift a person could ask for, nice relaxing vid or pz from lime

[@Pr1vateLime]

AWEE thanks! I’m sorry there’s a lot of scuff from the editing though, I’ll make sure to fix it soon. Merry Christmas!

[@entropic-decay]

Something with the now removable stones - there's actually a use for the pickaxe now besides as a rather unwieldy weapon! there's huge boulders out in some areas that you can use a pickaxe to break, yielding stones both small and large as well as some flint nodules (which are used in place of stone for primitive bladed tools and weapons now)

[@GoodOleDFT]

Happy babu Geebus day, Lime! Normally yeah, this kind of slow burn would not make a particularly noteworthy series, but the way things changed in this build are bringing fresh air to tired old events! Let's see now how the helo event shakes you up, after being completely irrelevant in the Water World series.

[@Pr1vateLime]

I hope decently well ngl!!! I am planning it doing it without the help of a car just for people that haven’t gotten a car yet, I’ll see in the future!

[@ruditime326]

Love this is series so far

[@Pr1vateLime]

Glad you are!!!!!

[@twocvbloke]

Seriously is a lucky start in this session, finding everything needed and thensome... :P

[@3BeatSketcher]

Would very much like to see more of this series! B42 looks amazing but i kinda dont want to play ot until its a little more stable, watching you play it however is great!

[@clownofwar]

The chopper event is the great filter for new players, after that is when the real game starts.

[@Toxicshamel]

Marry Christmas everyone

[@rocker_kitty3807]

With this amount of luck you just know it's going to be 90 days before he finds a working car in the next series.🤣 I agree that barricading a basic base is a good idea even if it won't last since it'll give you some carpentry xp anyway. That's a good thing to remember about suburban backyards too, you can get exposed quite quickly if luck isn't on your side.

[@Pr1vateLime]

Suburban areas can be real death traps because of the narrow nature of em! The luck was insane this series tho!

[@Good4HealthBad5Education]

ah yes cutting down 10 trees in my leather jacket and respirator

[@jennw4573]

I was hoping this would be out today! Thank you for the best Christmas gift 💝🎄

[@Pr1vateLime]

You are so welcome!!! I hope you have a merry Christmas!!!!!

[@mwmxktty]

Happy Holidays! Hopefully the holidays are enjoyable and restful for you.

[@icymoonbyul2942]

Love your series! I just can't describe how good it feels to finally play build 42 and I can't wait to see you try farm animals and the new crop system :D I've found some chickens and I literally need to constantly check them out, I still can't figure out how I could do far away supply runs without actually leaving them for a day, it's gonna be hard

[@0michelleki020]

i have survived near Camp Arthur in the wild for a good while, going back and forth for chikens was a good idea to. Though it would be nice if you could place a small animal in a car seat, if you can't find a trailer for transportation.

[@Separikakku]

meanwhile my casual ass used sandbox options to make it easier and give myself 100 extra trait points

[@millielancaster2248]

2:33 That was some smooth editing with the pan/teleport lol. x3

[@rjames0820]

its so funny how the same van that you got also has the emergency broadcast lmao, the luck is insane

[@Gobble-mike-hawk]

only 60+ real hours for those bell peppers to grow xd who thought that was a good idea

[@Pr1vateLime]

I just hope they give good returns, at least by 60 days you should have an electricity system set up lmfao

[@obi-wankenobi4476]

Please make this a full series!

[@bitterzombie]

I really wanna see Lime as a farmer in Echo Creek with max zombie pop

[@Pr1vateLime]

I’ll get to proper farming in the future!!!!!

[@NormacRed]

1 year challenge? 👉 👈

[@Pr1vateLime]

That may need to be a bit more heavily edited if so lol also stable in terms of 42 build!

[@MatthewLiddle-n8w]

Absolutely love to watch your videos I can't wait for the new one please don't stop at one week I love your challenge videos and tutorials of what to do I don't even own this game but you're the reason that I'm thinking of getting a PC just to play this game

[@veyonce]

how do you decide to set up your player character model for a stomp when the zombies go over the fence? my guy always gets lunged even if i get a stomp in

[@andobtw8046]

There's a setting that outlines the zombie you'll hit, very useful if you don't have it on. Then you just kinda wanna hop back and forth over the fence, back up when the zombie comes over until you find the sweet spot where their lunge doesn't hit you but you get the outline that shows you can hit them

[@Pr1vateLime]

One tip came be going behind the zombie so their longer goes past you, or simple walking forward until they lunge in which you can kill them risk free. It takes some training so mess around in debug until you get good with it!

[@chuckd9007]

Merry christmas!

[@noobamonggods2556]

B42 has a compost bin where I believe you can make compost for your crops

[@Kwansgamng]

it would be great if you could put guides on the new skills in the future, it's hard to find content at the moment showing the new work benches, materials, and what can be made with them

[@Pr1vateLime]

I’m thinking of doing some in depth guides for skills! But I wanna learn the systems better to actually know what I’m doing

[@abucket14]

Man, you always sound so calm, i've tried recording this game, but i talk both too much and too little and become VERY fish brained.

[@BeefGrease2912]

I actually am starting to like the new spawns from the look of your video! Im actually based up near Riverside, ( I have an old amd graphics cards so I'm still stuck with build 41) and my god were the residential streets littered with zombies before 42

[@HarperSophia]

The reason why your luck is so good is because PZ wants you to continue this series beyond one week!

[@kau0800]

very nice series

[@Pr1vateLime]

Glad you are enjoying it so far

[@flyingfox5348]

To all new and old survivors in build 42, remember to try and keep you hunger as low as possible, like low Endurance it can lead to very annoy death.

[@Pr1vateLime]

For sure, I made sure to quadruple check before I pushed it to the limit

[@freakoffer]

im honestly surprised you didnt replace the broken window with a prestine unbroken window seeing you have the crowbar

[@NikolaiZeStronk]

One thing I'm noticing in most play/guides is the lack of getting free XP from TV's, Did they get rid of the TV and VHS shows?

[@randomhero6365]

No, it's capped at lvl 3 though without sandbox settings changed. So if they are above lvl 3 in the skill already there no point in watching.

[@j.will209]

Could you do it so that this series expands from one week to one month using the same character? I love the series!

[@HarperSophia]

I second this suggestion

[@tricktrouble37]

the large stone ax you can make at level 3 knapping acts like a wood ax.

[@pprapa]

i mean i love how lime makes his vids, but im kinda curious if he has any clips of the bugs he encountered rn in build 42

[@Pr1vateLime]

None so far, been real lucky

[@bokodasu]

​@@Pr1vateLimeToo bad they fixed the chicken bug, that was hilarious.

[@Foreshadowings]

Imagine a water dam where if you fix it you can still provide electricity to the hole map that would be great instead of me panicking every time I hear multiple zombies in building and simply roasting them

[@Pr1vateLime]

That sounds did so cool! Even better if it floods an area out should it break down and crumble somehow

[@Foreshadowings]

@@Pr1vateLime build 43? XD also you should try my car technology technique I literally go around finding working cars and start huddling them together then use them to kill as much zombies as possible

[@mattiashedlund3688]

Had no idea about the new seasons of growing, so maybe thats why but i could not harvest my crops. Do i need a special tool now or was that becouse i planted just random stuff at the wrong time? I could only water or remove them, then they died after they were seeding.

[@mrdan2898]

Should being able to spy inside the house via the roof disappearing when cursor is over the house be nerfed?

[@Drie_Kleuren]

You should be carefull when farming early game, Since you spawn in July. Not a whole lot of crops will grow in august, September and october. Some will even die. Farming is way better in spring starting from April-may... So you will have to survive a long time before you even get there. (or you can change the starting date to April 1st.) I know this is a tutorial world and not a very serious lets play. But I dont think these crops will ever grow and you wont ever be able to harvest them XD I think they will all die. But on the other hand, Its better then having nothing planted. Maybe something will just grow in time and you get to harvest like 3 things lol... Farming crops is nothing compared to B41. You really have to think it trough and plan it now in B42...

[@Pr1vateLime]

Some food for thought for sure, thanks!!!!

[@AbitantedelVault]

I was wondering if there is epilepsy as a trait

[@mattkay5761]

playing pz with this video playing in the background was a bad idea. so many false scares when Lime is near zeds

[@Pr1vateLime]

OH YEAH THATS A DESTH SENTENCE. I’ve been fooled by a background twitch stream before and it’s not fun at all lol

[@jonathannorthcutt5793]

Is some of the audio echoing itself or am I suddenly able to predict what he says >.>

[@Pr1vateLime]

No it’s repeats from out takes. It’s completely my issue, right now I’m away from home so I’ll try to fix it first thing!

[@quixote6942]

[@mikebike8371]

Olive oil is a good base for sauces... extra virgin is best for this.

[@Hausbau.]

So much is now diffrent I honestly dont know what I need when I go looting expect the normal tools like scredriver saw and hammer

[@randomhero6365]

Make a notepad on your phone or something and just quick note all tools you get. Try and get 1 of each at least

[@Pr1vateLime]

Yeah, you can always go back for stuff so feel free to leave nonessentials behind until you get an established base!!!!!

[@iixmercerxii2934]

Build 42 is soo good :)

[@Pr1vateLime]

Love it so far!!!!

[@kevincamps4817]

Surviver homes are not the same and often can be a containment homes instead of survivor having less to no loot and containing a zombie or zombies that were boarded off to stop the spread instead of survivors with specialty loot and those have been nerfed from what I hear

[@mrincognitodiy]

Hey guys i need help! when i'm building things like shelves and wood floors etc, i can't reposition where he builds the item, can anyone tell me how to position the item before building it ! Thanks in advance

[@CausticPuffin]

Woooo!!!!

[@Mitke420]

Did they nerfed survivor houses or. i found like 7 so far 0 weapons only some random crap

[@zivileduleviciute-xe3gb]

same for me. there are a few weapons in every survivor house, but they’re absolute trash. broken bats and stuff

[@randomhero6365]

There is chances for buildings to be prelooted. You can change that in sandbox settings. They also did mess with loot tables. I increased my loot to common because I hate clearing a area for a hour just to get in and it has absolutely no loot. I also highly recommend rains weapon mod. It adds a lot more machete and other melee weapons that are pretty period accurate

[@Pr1vateLime]

It depends on population I’m sure as well like the other loot settings! I bet a survivor home I Louisville would be way more packed

[@Alepoudiitsa]

i didn't find any axe so i evned up destroying the furnetures from other houses too get planks 🤣😅

[@randomhero6365]

Lots of edit mistakes in this one buddy. The same scene was played multiple times throughout the video

[@Pr1vateLime]

Totally correct, I had to get these videos prepped a week beforehand mostly because I’m hella busy visiting family for Christmas right now. So these videos were made on like an hour of sleep and a dream. I’ll see if I can run it through a laptop and remove the edits when I’m not Uber busy this week

[@a.gravemistake3061]

Merry Deadmas to all who celebrate

[@Pr1vateLime]

Merry deadmas!!!!!

[@dakotah4866]

For me personally I am loving the new update can't wait until they add a little more to build 42 got to get a better PC cuz I'm getting like 10 frames to like 6 but holding on strong. I'm just sad that people can't believe the officiate the difference between commercial and common law comes to housing. Are homes on the mainlander not commercial. This would commercial is primarily Maritime admiralty law the law of water that were applying to land a lot of people don't know this cuz they don't study it I've been studying it for the past past 6 to 8 years Challenging confusing but when you actually do research you'd find that if you were a commercial building it basically be under commerce. Business like resident and tenants which are people in a particular area for business which is their definitions. When you live within an area you were considered an occupant.

[@Enpofield]

*Sees AEBS* Write it down! Lime has been blessed with RNG for safehouse. Speaking of safehouses I've heard loot rolls for said safehouse can have terrible item quantity for instances you'll find small amount of food but bunch of melee weapons, handful of firearms and ammo but condition of it is poor

[@Cosmo_UwU98]

I love you so much

[@daniell1483]

I'm probably going to reinstall just to try out the new build and it is all your fault!

Hi

[@mindustrylover]

ABSOLUTE TRASH 😁😁 WHEN IS HE COMING BACK 🤑🤑

[@Pr1vateLime]

Soon

[@pastoi3694]

Hi, this is confusing me... what the hell are you yapping non stop about pimp your base , even though you know and anyone should know that you will move in another spot soon. If this is your tip for noobs ... use you hard loot to reinforce a place you will leave ... are you suffering from some strange head disease? or if this is really your tip... I played less than 30 hours of this game and I fell it's dumb... but I guess this is some veteran 4 heads play... Have a nice holiday, love your content... but please fix something, your angle, or your title, or you bloody brain.

[@electro7435]

There is saying that "If you have nothing good to say don't say it at all". I advise that you take that lesson on from now on.

[@nono-jj9rr]

Low iq comment

[@saladmancer4802]

Lime started in a neighborhood that isn't that bad. New players need to get used to the fact that you won't be able to get your dream base right off the bat. They need to prepare before heading out, and once this base is abandoned, it'll serve as a great outpost should they come back.

[@sparkyboi4387]

Well in this case, Lime got lucky and managed to get a good starting area, he's probably gonna lose his base to the helicopter event anyway and probably talk about moving from base to base in the next episode, just give it time, and maybe don't be so aggressive!

[@Basil_Ieaf]

here's something neat, Dunning Kruger effect.

[@HarperSophia]

Lime! You are the only creator that I’ve seen stay in the town and not run to the outskirts. I really hope you continue this series.🥹
