Project Zomboid Installing Workshop Mods on Project Zomboid
This guide covers installing mods on your Project Zomboid server. For first boot and connecting, see Getting Started.
Workshop mods install via two settings:
INI
WorkshopItems=2392709985;2785928760;2196102849 Mods=ORGM;TrueActionsDancing;CommonSense
Each workshop item has a:
- Workshop ID (number, used in
WorkshopItems) - Mod ID (string, used in
Mods)
Both are listed on the mod's workshop page under "Workshop ID" and "Mod IDs."
After editing both fields, restart. The server downloads the mods from Steam Workshop and loads them.
Popular Mods
- More Builds: Hundreds of new building options
- Common Sense: QoL changes for inventory and crafting
- Brita's Weapon Pack: Massive weapon library
- ORGM Rechambered: Realistic firearms overhaul
- Authentic Z: Zombie variety
- True Music: Custom radio stations

Always test mods on a fresh save first; some mods are incompatible with existing characters.
