Configuring Project Zomboid

Stop Project Zomboid, select it in CreeperPanel and open Settings. Choose a category, adjust the options and select Save before leaving. Start the server when you have finished.

Save your initial settings before opening Mods, including the Save Name for the world you intend to use.

Category	What to look for
General	Server access, passwords, players, save name and welcome message
Gameplay	Character and survival rules, experience and gameplay balance
World	World conditions, loot and map options
Zombies	Population and detailed zombie behaviour
Advanced	Server resources, networking and advanced world controls

Sandbox options

The Settings page includes sandbox rules as well as the usual server options. Open grouped controls such as Zombie Lore, Zombie Config and Multiplier Config to adjust their individual values.

Read the description beside each setting before changing it. Some options affect new worlds or newly generated areas rather than changing everything in an existing save. Keep a backup before making a large rules change.

Changing Save Name selects a different save; it is not simply the public server name. Keep it unchanged when you want to continue your current world.

For greyed-out controls, save errors or occupied ports, see saving game settings.
