A Project Zomboid server is for groups who want to play one long run together, with a world that is kept between game nights. Also handy for communities with their own rules and mods.
Just ordered? First steps after your order shows you how to get into the game panel. To change the settings in the Startup tab, see Change your server settings under Startup.
In the Startup tab, set the server name and the admin username and password. Replace the default password.
On the first start the server creates its world and settings. The console shows when it is ready.
In your server’s configuration files you set the zombies, the loot and your mods. Restart the server after every change.
In Project Zomboid, choose Join, enter the address and port from the game panel and log in with your own username.
Project Zomboid is the zombie survival game by The Indie Stone. You try to survive for as long as possible in Knox County. Build 42 became the stable version on 29 July 2026, with multiplayer, animals, basements and a reworked map. On your own server you decide how hard it gets, and your world keeps existing even when nobody is playing.
Memory grows with the number of players and above all with how much of the map you explore: every loaded area costs memory. Our advice: CupCake 4 GB for a small group on a fresh world, Cake 6 GB or BIGCake 8 GB for a bigger group or a world that has been running for weeks, and SuperCake 12 GB for lots of players with a long mod list.
Mods come from the Steam Workshop. In your server’s configuration file you put the Workshop IDs under WorkshopItems and the mod IDs under Mods; players download them automatically when they connect. Not every Build 41 mod works on Build 42, so check on the Workshop page which build a mod supports.
In the Startup tab you choose the server name and the admin username and password. Want a different version? Enter a branch under Steam Beta Branch and reinstall the server; make a backup first. Zombies, loot and how quickly the world decays are set in your server’s sandbox settings. Restart after every change, and always make a backup before a big update: a bitten character won’t come back, but a world can. How restoring works is in Create and restore a backup.
Zombies, building and, by default, a blood moon every seven days. Survive it together.
Hardcore survival in Chernarus, with mods from the Steam Workshop.
Survive, build and raid on your own server, with your own rules and wipe schedule.

From €4.95 a month, including VAT, on Standard; Premium starts at €8.95. What you pay depends on the memory; every size is listed with the plans. You pay monthly and can cancel any month.
Build 42 by default, the stable version with multiplayer since 29 July 2026. Want a different version? Enter a Steam branch in the Startup tab and reinstall the server. Make a backup first.
Put the Workshop IDs and mod IDs in your server’s configuration file (WorkshopItems and Mods) and restart. Players download the mods when they connect. Do check that a mod supports Build 42.
For a small group on a fresh world, 4 GB is enough. For a bigger group or a world that has been running for weeks, choose 6 or 8 GB, and 12 GB with lots of players and mods.
Log in with the admin username and password from the Startup tab. That account has admin rights on your server.
Yes. In your server’s sandbox settings you set things like the number of zombies, how fast they are, the amount of loot and world decay. Then restart your server.
