The rat king is an incredibly rare occurance in nature that is caused by overpopulation of rats in small spaces. Somehow, if their population grows while living indoors and in tights spaces like walls, they manage to accidentally knot together their tails. Scientists still don’t really know how it happens. It’s just a cool addition, as far as I’m aware there is not meaning behind it
@@bardelo_bardalini addition: Only 2 living rat kings have been found so far since they can't eat they quickly starve or get partially eaten by other rats. The same thing can happen to squirrels. A similiar thing can happen to stags when they fight and can't untangle themselves.
@@rygyouwill5293 Yes, but now whenever you take some of the caffeine pills, it's the same as taking two of the vitamins. At least, that's what I'm assuming is happening, as they seem to get depleted more than the vitamins every time you take them.
Also now when wearing a jacket on top of a hoodie the hood becomes visible which what used to be a mod back in B41 but now in B42 its a vanilla cool feature
I didn't know you could light a smoke from an oven, that's handy, but I also noticed there is now chewing tobacco, pouches of tobacco, rolling papers to roll a smoke from a pouch of tobacco, pipes to smoke tobacco (pipes can also be carved). There are also cigars. Sometimes you will cough while smoking, alerting nearby zombies. Save chewing tobacco for when you want to be sneaky. In the crafting menu there is "shred tobacco" with dried tobacco leaves as an ingredient, not sure if you can grow it or forage it growing in the wild. Aside from the original matches, there are also matchboxes. The zippo looking lighters can be refilled with lighter fluid, and there are also now disposable lighters. Wallets now have stuff in them and though it's pretty rare i have found matches in some. There are fancy keyrings, I have found a Bass keyring, a Blue Fox keyring, a Rabbit Foot keyring and a Kitty Keyring, keys now have weight so a keyring does not hold unlimited amounts of keys anymore. There's also a keyring bottle opener that you can store in a keyring.
yeah, the stove and car lighter (yes that's a thing now as well) are straight pulled from the "I don't need a lighter" mod. Same with those colors on the dash, that's another mod idea, along with the fuel indicator. And proper sitting in places. And basements. And Water coolers with working bottles. Like really, a lot of B42 is a lot of QoL and random ideas from modders that got in, yet somehow we still don't have actual models for car doors being open, a way to reorder the hotbar or our containers in the inventory. Like how? Or actually more than just a few models of guns all over kentucky... it leaves a lot to be desired to be honest. At the same time, still a good update
@ConMan1504 sweet thanks, yeah smoker has been nerfed a bit. I prolly wouldn't recommend it for new players but for experienced players I'd still take it for two points.
Alot of updates seen to be (considental, or proposital) adding mods into vanilla. There plently of mods from 41B that are seen to be alot similar, if not the same
They add Things that actually should be in the game already and that's why project zomboid is different from other games because other games don't do that
I once had to clear out 6 streets in louville for some ropes. because there was a big horde in the area that split into smaller ones Good to know that i can make my own now 🥹
@ turns out sheer rope made from zombie clothes can do ANYTHING the professional rope can do, only difference is real rope weighs slightly less. You can use sheet rope to make stacks of logs.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 I have 2500 hours in the game. The only things that impressed me in build 42 were the new lighting system and the crafting system (which already somewhat existed in the form of several mods). Many of the b42 changes have already existed for years in the form of mods. We are at a point where modders are developing the game faster than the devs and the devs basically look at mods to figure out what they want to add to the game.

There plently of new dices (D6, D20, etc...) with even a bit rare event (that I encontered in a kid bedroom) that is a small sack with all kinds of dice and you can roll all of then, but it just do the action and not actually show what you got (probably going to in the near future)
Holy crap thank you so much for the tip on using an oven to light a cig. Even though Smoker got nerfed in B42, I'm still running it on my main character but I've been struggling to find a lighter.
Other stuff does that too (ripping sheets) sometimes when u eat new foods..etc give the devs time its been only couple of days and the update is kinda large! :)

Not sure if this is a b42 issue or something else, but I can't seem to build roofs in carpentry. The tiles stay at floor level even when standing on the top of my stairs at roof level. Does anyone know if this is a bug or if there is a solution?
they have a large Australian player base and they can’t add drugs cause if they do they will lose a large percent of their players because of the laws😂
I bought this game in 2014 and in a decade we still have no NPCs but hey now I can pretend to live in a trailer park, sniff glue and gamble with scratch off tickets! It's literally just like DayZ. Devs forgetting it's a zombie apocalypse survival game and just adding random stupid shit that has nothing to do with anything.
I was unable to sit in a dining room wooden chair!? Opening cans with a knife can cut the hand of the payer. Initial water in sinks is limited and will run out, even with water not turned off.
If you click the “Rest” option while in the menu, it should have your character sit in the chair. It worked fine for me, but may be a potential bug if it doesn’t work. It works for all other chairs I’ve found as well.

I don't need a scientist to tell me how that happens, it's pretty obvious.

you can use the whistle you find in fishing supplies store by equipping it in your primary and press Q!! Very useful for attracting zombies
Aw man. These are such minor details, but there are so many, and they are so cool. I can't appreciate it enough.
Yeah I love how PZ does these massive updates that add a bit of everything

The window sheet backpack is a VERY useful one, thank you for sharing that!
You can just press E to rest on a chair/bed
Good to know!
By random basements they just meant it's random if one spawns or not. Each building will always have the same type of basement.

only till 2028 or 29 for NPCs
Hopefully it’ll be before my kids graduate Med School (I don’t have kids yet) 🤣
NPCs will likely never be added if it took them 3 years to make build 42 lol.
The way I see it, it gives me a reason to look forward to each day.

In addition if you try to open can with a knife, there is a chance that you may cut your hand.
2:18 why would i need to sniff it lmao
I was just surprised they added the option. I found it in a desk and was wondering “can I sniff it?” Lo and behold, I could 🤣
@@bardelo_bardalini I thought they said they weren't adding drug use to the game because they didnt want their game banned in Australia
0:58 you can light your cigarrete inside a car too!
The sling bag recipe is a direct copy from the game Cataclysm. Pz is taking so much inspiration from cdda.
I still like cdda more honestly

The scratchcards is such a cool idea for an admin of a server. Could be a nice bonus people scratch to win admin rewards with money.
Imagine being a few days into a zombie apocalypse and you find a scratch card worth millions 😂
bruh... a big part of this 25 new thing the community made a mod to b41 (it is cool that they are adding this features and others)
The vehicle door chime plays if you have any door open, except the hood. I'm not sure if it does so with the trunk.
2:12 nice no more mods 😃👏
Yeah, but to be honnest, the 3D model in B42 Vanilla look bad imo, the 3D model from the mod was smoother and better... but yes !

#24 has already been a feature!

While the rat king is a real occurance (explained by other commenter), putting it in the game might be a nod to The Last of Us Season 2.
A horrible game really and an insult to the first game.
If only I had someone to play PZ with, all of my friends are on playstation
run me your discord
Not enough changes to quit v41 and his compatible mods,they really need to add npcs to turn the game actually interesting without mods on it
cloth sling bags were already in the game right?
Nope

25 things that were mods but are now in the base game
only issue are those ugly new moodles lol ew
Captain obvious
This has to be fake 😭
what do you mean?

turn the loot up
