  • Nothing rots while you sleep

    The world pauses when the server is empty, then the server naps until someone joins.

Project Zomboid server hosting FAQ

How much RAM does a Project Zomboid server need?

Project Zomboid needs at least 8 GB. 10 GB suits about 16 players, and modded servers do better on 12 GB or more. Build 42 uses roughly a third more memory than Build 41.

Should I pick Build 42 or Build 41?

Build 42 is the current build with the newest features. Pick Build 41 if your favorite mods have not been updated for 42 yet. Everyone who joins must be on the same build.

How do I add Workshop mods?

Pick mods in the Mods tab or paste a Workshop collection. We fill in the Mods and WorkshopItems lines for you, and players download the mods when they join.

How do my friends join?

In Project Zomboid choose Join, then type your address in IP and the port in Port, plus the password if you set one.

Can I switch to a different game later?

Yes. Swap your server to any game your plan can run, as often as you like, with no swap fees. Your old world is saved so you can switch back.

How old do I need to be?

Wilderack is for players aged 13 and up. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian needs to agree to the purchase.
