Server Details

The current sandbox settings on the server are designed to create a "Realistic as playable" experience.

The server will operate 24/7 with automatic restarts every 6 hours (6am, 12pm, 6pm, 12am EST). The Server hardware will also reboot at 6am EST everyday. This ensures the maximum efficiency and performance during play.



Server connection info:

Currently the server has completed it's BETA test run and is now undergoing hardware upgrades. Although unnessescary, I am upgrading the server to allow more players to join and for an overkill experience in Project Zomboid.

To view the current status of the updates to the server please visit our discord server.
