Build 42 New Locations — The 42.20 POIs You Haven't Explored Yet

The official 42.20 "The Big Glow Up" announcement teased a set of new points of interest across the reworked Knox County — an abandoned orphanage, a brand-new prison, a boy scout camp, and a revamped logging compound — alongside the reworked towns and 400 procedural basements. These are the kind of destination POIs the map was built around: committed trips with real loot, not drive-bys. This guide collects what's officially known about each, where the map update puts them, and how to run them. Sources: the official 42.20 feature overview, the map guide, and community exploration reports. Checked 2026-08-09.

Honesty note: The Indie Stone teased these locations in the 42.20 announcement but did not publish exact coordinates or loot tables. This page collects official confirmations and community-reported placement — treat precise details as "verify in-world," and let exploration be part of the fun.

The abandoned orphanage

Officially confirmed in the 42.20 announcement as one of the new explorable locations. Community-reported observations:

• Described in the announcement's tone as a "spooky" location — expect the classic horror-house POI treatment: dark interiors, tight corridors, and a loot profile that rewards the brave.
• Media coverage of the 42.20 launch specifically called out the orphanage as the standout new POI alongside the "400 procedural basements."
• Likely behavior: a set-piece building with a dedicated interior layout (rather than procedural), consistent with the "all buildings are now unique" 42.20 standard.

The entirely new Prison

The official announcement confirmed a brand-new prison among the new locations (the old maximum-security site was a B41 fixture; this is a new build). Expectations per community reports:

• Prisons in PZ are high-density, high-loot structures: riot gear, weapons, food stores, and a lot of zombies.
• On 42.20's heat-map, a prison is a probable hotspot — plan the route with the loot-routes guide discipline.

The boy scout camp

Also confirmed new. Scout camps pattern after the classic POI type: cabins, a mess hall, low-zombie rural surroundings, and outdoor/looting-oriented loot (tools, camping gear, food). Best framed as a medium-complexity wilderness trip — the kind the foraging guide and wilderness sections of the map guide prepare you for.

The revamped logging compound

The 42.20 announcement confirmed a revamped logging compound — an upgrade of an existing POI type rather than a new build. Expect:

• Logging/lumberjacking loot: axes, fuel, heavy tools — the blacksmithing and base building chains both want this.
• The revamp likely means more unique buildings and deeper interiors, per the 42.20 "all buildings unique" standard.

How to run new POIs

• Treat them as mini-dungeons — committed trips with real loot, not side stops. The map guide frames the expansion's signature POIs exactly this way.
• Plan the drive: the vehicles guide work-van advice makes the hauling practical.
• Bring the right tools: a sledgehammer or crowbar for barricades, medical for the first-aid realities of a long trip, and food.
• Expect the unexpected: new POIs on patch-week are where players find the fresh content first — coordinates and layouts shift while the community maps them.
