Tired of navigating cluttered building interfaces in Project Zomboid? The Improved Build Menu [Build 41] mod offers a welcome quality-of-life enhancement, focusing on reorganizing and refining the carpentry and metalworking construction menus. This mod not only tidies up existing options but also introduces a host of new buildables, expanding your base-building possibilities.
