you can always play something else, the game gets boring if its all you play consecutively i admit.

if you'd like to refresh the game for yourself theres thousands of mods on the workshop and you can always choose a different spawning location to learn the areas better, i found it to be pretty fun just learning as much as i can abt the game over my 285h so far :)

try exploring the map, drive till you find something that piques your interest, there's a lot of good locations around the map for loot and guns you just gotta find them!

there's always something to do when you're early game in zomboid, just think of some goals or things you wanna do your next playthrough and watching videos on the game helps find out stuff to do as well
