Will built 42 contain new leisure animations for characters?
Sitting, sleeping, eating at the table etc... Or will it remain mod only?


In general can anyone give me a link or rundown of what 42 is planning to bring? Just a list with short exact statements, not 4page of reading about one additional function, and so on. Just a straight list.

Thank you very much.

Take it or leave it. It's a list enough for me.

Thanks, was simple enough, kinda.

So animations are not there, so all the numerous furniture around the environment is still worth a poo pile without mods, sad, was hoping they would finaly make the oldest world objects useable under vanila setup (i dont count the imaginery sleeping mechanic).

Still they are adding a lot of interesting things. Interesting and funny too when imagining what a huge ammount of time is required to enjoy all of it while at the same time it can be instantly nullified by a deadly phase-through roof, nonpreventable insta-grab/pulldown on top of stairs as you can see sh... untill its too late, or any of the silly nonpreventable bites through wall edges (basicaly a phantom bite, as you dont even see the Z during its bite, only once it is releasing you), bite from woodzees that are invisible behind a tree that is 6 times thinner than them 😂, etc... One bite death will still remain the key factor for players to continue min/maxing supersoldiers / builders / scavenger etc. instead of dedicating long term. Was hoping devs would do something about motivating long term character survival AND its developement 😔. In summary this will encourage short lived specialised builds even more. Well there are still enthusiasists who will try to pull it all at once, will be fun.

That is so untrue. You can rest on it, sitting next to furniture also speeds up stam recovery.

I did mention that above: "(i dont count the imaginery sleeping mechanic)."

Modders done this game a huge service with their creations in this field (various animations).

This is one of the things that sucks the most. You have a huge world, graphics are bad for modern age, but I grew to love it, with its fixed views. You have a lot of furniture everywhere, yet you can not use it per its natural use. Vanila has sadly only this "resting aura" that you can trigger with certain actions.

So sad as we lovr these small things. Surviving a huge horde onslaught, fixing things back, burning all the deads, cleaning out, then finaly go to mess hall, chef brings fresh rabbit soup with spices and all of us sit together at the table, eating and drinking. Thats the fine camaradie moments. Small part, unadressed by Vanila, buz through mods a great moment 🙂

Didn't they hire the guy who made the only working NPC mod and put him to work on fishing animations?

B42 isn't out yet, so yeah animation in this game suck right now.

Car are by far the biggest issue. Almost no work for car animation. We only got light, youhou !
The animations for sitting/lying etc. aren't from mods, the ability to use them is. The question about whether B42 will enable them is based on whether they managed to fix the layering issue with north and west facing furniture.

There is a mod that adds a lot of car animations, including opening of its parts and you can even see the engines/interior. Modders are quite a blessing for this game.

Although personaly I dont like mods, prefer if Vanila gets updates instead but for this gamr it is almost a must given hiw modders fill in all those holes in the game.

Even if they lack the two orientations, they add a lot even as they are, so I wouldnt mind if they opened it at least in the scope that they work, its EA afterall, it does not have to be perfect,...yet. 😆
