Join ZA-Z

A vanilla+ Project Zomboid Build 42 server hosted in Johannesburg: the game you know, with lore-friendly, balanced additions of our own and hand-picked Workshop mods, kept up to date. Open to everyone, no password.

Connect

Open Zomboid and joinNeeds Steam with Project Zomboid on Build 42. The game opens on its connect screen for this server.

Or add it by hand:

1. Project Zomboid on Steam, Build 42 branch.
2. Join Server, then Favorites, Add Server (IP 156.38.175.131, port 49685), or search the browser for ZA-Z.
3. Pick any account name and password on first join. Up to 5 accounts per Steam account.

First join downloads about 1.2 GB of mods. The game fetches them through Steam by itself; give it a few minutes.

Refused right after a game or mod update? The server restarts itself for mod updates; game updates are done by hand, usually the same day. Restarting Steam fixes most refusals. Ask on Discord.

World

Every setting, custom mechanic and mod is explained on the ZA-Z Wiki: start with getting started and the full server settings.

Rules

• Safehouses are protected: no trespass, no looting, no fire. A safehouse expires if nobody from it visits for 14 real days.
• Sledgehammers only work inside your own safehouse zone.
• PvP is on with the safety system, except in the Rosewood safe zone, where nobody can hurt anyone. Fight if you both want to; do not camp spawns.
• Animals in a towed trailer can vanish (Build 42 bug). Lead them on foot, or ask an admin.
• The server restarts every night at 00:00 SAST, with warnings 10, 5 and 1 minute before.
