# Same as the sandbox "Zombie Count" setting.
# 4.0 = Insane, 2.0 = High, 1.0 = Normal, 0.35 = Low, 0.0 = None.
# Minimum=0.0 Maximum=4.0 Default=1.0
PopulationMultiplier=0.35  - These I'm a bit unsure of, I edited them to be max, 4.0 here and 4.0 in the next, didn't seem to do anything. So if anyone has info, let me know.
I think that this one is used to take the population you start with and multiply it over time. I think it also manages how many zombies are on the server at one point in time.
# Adjusts the desired population at the start of the game.
# Minimum=0.0 Maximum=4.0 Default=1.0
PopulationStartMultiplier=0.5
This is explained mostly through messing about with the settings on your own.
# Adjusts the desired population on the peak day.
# Minimum=0.0 Maximum=4.0 Default=1.5
PopulationPeakMultiplier=1.5
Controls population that peak brings, peak is defined next.

UI Tick.png
This page has been revised for the current stable version (41.78.16).
Help by adding any missing content. [edit]
WhiskeyHalf.png
This article may be in need of improvement.
Editors are encouraged to add any missing information to the article, while verifying that the article's current content is correct.

There are a total of 4 files that make your server work, they can all be found at:

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\Zomboid\server
  • Linux: $HOME/Zomboid/Server

Inside, there are the following files:

servertest.ini

nightlengthmodifier=1.0

Controls the LENGTH of night. 1.0 is standard (please note length of night now adjusts based on the season too so it will be longer or shorter during different months of the game) if you change it to 0.5 for example the night will be half as long as usual.

PVP=true

Allow PvP (still has a toggle for each player by default).

PauseEmpty=true

The server will be progressing constantly (days will pass, crops will grow, zombies will migrate). If changed to true the server will pause when no players are logged in.

GlobalChat=true

Enable Global Chat (/all command in chat). This allows players to chat regardless of distance.

ChatStreams=s,r,a,w,y,sh,f,all

  • /s - Talk to people on the screen, including the dead
  • /r - Transcript of radio broadcasts
  • /a - Talk to an admin
  • /w - Whisper to someone, distance doesn't matter
  • /y - Yell to people on screen and a bit further away, also attracts zombies
  • /sh - Talk to people with whom you share a safehouse
  • /f - Talk to people in your faction
  • /all - Safely talk to everyone online
Removing any of these disables that chatstream

Open=true

Open to all (no whitelist).

ServerWelcomeMessage=Welcome to Project Zomboid Multiplayer! <LINE> <LINE> To interact with the Chat panel: press Tab, T, or Enter. <LINE> <LINE> The Tab key will change the target stream of the message. <LINE> <LINE> Global Streams: /all <LINE> Local Streams: /say, /yell <LINE> Special Steams: /whisper, /safehouse, /faction. <LINE> <LINE> Press the Up arrow to cycle through your message history. Click the Gear icon to customize chat. <LINE> <LINE> Happy surviving!

The welcome message displayed to player after connecting.
