Project Zomboid Server Hosting FAQ.
How much RAM does Project Zomboid need on a dedicated server?
4-8 GB. The map streams in as players explore, so a long-running server with several groups spread across the map uses considerably more than a fresh one.
Can I install mods when hosting Project Zomboid?
Yes, through Steam Workshop. Workshop IDs go in WorkshopItems and the mod IDs in Mods; both lists must be set or the mod loads but does nothing.
How many players can Project Zomboid support on one server?
16-32. Spread-out players cost more than grouped ones because more of the map stays loaded.
How do I change Project Zomboid server settings on GameTeam?
Settings for Project Zomboid live in servertest.ini and SandboxVars.lua, which you can edit directly in the panel file manager. You can also describe the change in plain language and let the GameTeam AI copilot make it — it reads the file first, applies the edit and reads the value back, so you can see what actually changed. Console access, power controls, backups and schedules stay available either way.
