Running a Project Zomboid server
Project Zomboid multiplayer lives or dies on its mod list and sandbox settings — the same server can be a relaxed build server or a brutal permadeath run.
Workshop mods are listed twice in the server's .ini file: once as WorkshopItems (the Steam IDs) and once as Mods (the mod IDs inside each item). Getting both lists right is the most common setup problem, and the panel file manager makes it easy to edit.
Sandbox settings such as zombie population, respawn, loot rarity and day length live in the SandboxVars file. Change them before the world is generated where possible, since some only apply to new chunks.
- Ports
- UDP 16261–16262
- Mods
- Steam Workshop (WorkshopItems + Mods)
- Config files
- servertest.ini, SandboxVars.lua
- Admin
- In-game admin panel + RCON
