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:

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.

  • 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
  • Hydrocraft: Crafting expansion (semi-deprecated but popular)
  • True Actions Series: New player actions and animations
  • Vehicle Spawn Quantity: Configure vehicle spawn rates

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