Echo Creek

A cosy Build 42 town used to show off basements, animals and crafting. It has no police station or clinic, but a gun store, an army surplus, seven gun-storage outbuildings and a hunting store, a ranger hall with Foraging, Tracking and Trapping books, a trailer park and farmland to the south. It was removed as a default spawn in 42.16. Updated for Build 42.21, November 2026.
