Build 42 is an upcoming update for Project Zomboid focusing on expanding "crafting and balance". The update is being worked on in conjunction with the first stage of NPCs (Build 43). While this will not be as significant of an update as the first iteration of NPCs, build 42 will still be a fairly beefy update in terms of what it brings to the game.
Balance will be focused around existing mechanics that have been neglected since they were introduced, specifically traits, professions, skills, the medical system, and reducing exploits during character creation, along with loot balancing and more.
Additional content is expected to focus around expanding the metaphorical 'tech tree', to provide a richer late game by creating a way to reproduce items, reducing the need to respawn loot. This may also expand on professions, allowing them to use their pre-apocalypse skills to rebuild in the post-apocalypse. Further features include those that could not be added in Build 41, such as improved fire graphics/mechanics and potentially a range combat overhaul.
Hunting update
Build 42 was previously planned to be the "Hunting update", focusing on the inclusion of wildlife roaming the countryside, including deer, mice/rats, feral dogs and more, along with complimentary mechanics, such as expanding trapping. Hunting is no longer the primary focus of the first iteration of Lemmy's AI code and not yet confirmed when of the 3 NPC stages it will be implemented.
Hunting is one the oldest planned updates that have not yet been added, behind NPCs (Kate & Baldspot), mentioned as early as October 2012. The addition of hunting has been a priority for The Indie Stone, however hasn't been feasable until the Animation Overhaul (Build 41).
