After much trouble of my own, this is a guide to fully make a zomboid PC server, install mods, configure your server, AND merge your base from your single player world.

Step 1: Server installation

First, We will want to download SteamCMD, a developer app made by steam. This can be done by visiting this link here:

Next, scroll down to the windows tab, and click the [1] icon in the corner here:

this should download a file called steamcmd.zip like so

most guides recommend making a folder in programfiles (x86), but personally I like to make a folder on my desktop called steamCMD and extracting the zipped file into that folder there for easier access. To unzip, right click the file and click “extract all” and choose the folder of your choice.

The experience is even better with friends, and you should seriously consider investing a little in Project Zomboid server hosting to make it even better.

Why do you need Project Zomboid Server Hosting?

Hosting the game through Steam is the easiest way to connect with friends, but it also has its downsides. Lag is the most common issue, which can put a serious damper on your…

Whether it’s laughing while your friend trips over a fence and rapidly turned into an opening night buffet or planning out the perfect base to paint garish colors and decorate with pilfered microwaves, it’s always better when you’ve got control of all the rules of your playthrough. 

So if you and your friends want your zombies to be runners, never respawn, or even make boxes of ammunition show up in every fridge, you’ll need to set up your own dedicated server in Project Zomboid. Here’s how to do it.
