The most important of them is <code>servertest.ini<\/code>, the master config that controls networking, your player cap, PVP, passwords, the public listing, your mod lists, spawn behavior, and RCON. This guide breaks down every key that matters, shows you how to apply changes live without a restart, and explains how <code>servertest.ini<\/code> works alongside its two Lua siblings. We also flag exactly where Build 41 and Build 42 behave differently, so you don&#8217;t copy a setting that no longer applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build 41 vs Build 42: read this first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before touching a single config key, know which build you are on, because it changes what&#8217;s true. As of mid-2026, <strong>Build 41 (B41.78) is still the stable, default branch on Steam<\/strong> and is what most servers run. <strong>Build 42 has been on the opt-in &#8220;unstable&#8221; beta branch since December 2024<\/strong>; the latest unstable release in our sources is Build 42.17.0 (around April 20, 2026). Press coverage describes the stable launch as close, but it has not been confirmed shipped, so don&#8217;t assume B42 is your default unless you deliberately switched branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One critical detail for server operators: multiplayer was absent from Build 42 at first launch and only joined the unstable branch around December 2025 (roughly v42.13). That means any B42 dedicated-server tutorial from 2024 or early 2025 is unreliable for multiplayer. The good news is that the things this guide centers on \u2014 the three-file config model, the <code>Zomboid\/Server\/<\/code> layout, admin commands, the whitelist, and the Workshop two-key system \u2014 are the same across B41 and B42 in every source we reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Topic<\/th><th>Build 41<\/th><th>Build 42 (unstable, mid-2026)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Map<\/td><td>Knox County (Muldraugh, West Point, Rosewood, Riverside, Louisville)<\/td><td>Knox County expanded westward; new towns like Brandenburg, Ekron, Irvington<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Verticality<\/td><td>No basements, limited height<\/td><td>Procedurally generated basements and taller buildings<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Crafting<\/td><td>Original system<\/td><td>Rebuilt from the ground up; renewable crafting and animal products<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sandbox keys<\/td><td>Original SandboxVars set<\/td><td>New SandboxVars for animals, basements, darkness (Lua entries, not new .ini keys)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Save compatibility<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>B42 saves are NOT compatible with B41; no official converter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>RAM<\/td><td>Lighter<\/td><td>Heavier \u2014 plan more headroom<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout this guide, when a value is build-specific I&#8217;ll hedge it. When it&#8217;s stable and long-standing, treat it as B41 behavior that carries forward into B42. If you want a deeper tour of what changed in the new build, our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/project-zomboid-build-42-guide\/\">Build 42 overview<\/a> covers the map expansion and crafting rework in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The three config files in Zomboid\/Server\/<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dedicated server is configured by files inside the user&#8217;s <code>Zomboid\/Server\/<\/code> folder. On Windows that&#8217;s <code>C:\\Users\\<user>\\Zomboid\\Server<\/code>. The default server name is <code>servertest<\/code>, which is why the files are all named <code>servertest*<\/code>. If you ever rename your server, these filenames change to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>File<\/th><th>What it controls<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><code>servertest.ini<\/code><\/td><td>Main server settings: networking and ports, player cap, PVP, passwords, public listing, mod lists, map, spawn point, RCON, anti-cheat.

A clean mental model is: the <code>.ini<\/code> file controls the server software and connection, the <code>SandboxVars.lua<\/code> file controls the difficulty and feel of the world, and the spawn-related Lua files control where survivors begin. You can verify any live setting with the admin command <code>showoptions<\/code>, and after editing <code>servertest.ini<\/code> while the server is running you apply changes with <code>reloadoptions<\/code> \u2014 no full restart required for most options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key servertest.ini settings explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the keys that matter most, with their confirmed shipped defaults where known. Edit values, save the file, then run <code>reloadoptions<\/code> in the console to apply them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access and visibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><code>PVP=true<\/code><\/strong> \u2014 ships enabled.

Project Zomboid uses a companion port at <code>DefaultPort + 1<\/code> (so 16262), assigned automatically. Build 41.65 and later retired the old per-player port range, so in practice only <strong>16261\/UDP<\/strong> needs forwarding. A standalone <code>UDPPort=<\/code> line was not present in the real config we reviewed, so treat any guide that tells you to set one as outdated and confirm against current docs.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Mods and map<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong><code>WorkshopItems<\/code><\/strong> \u2014 semicolon-separated numeric Steam Workshop IDs.

The real config contains a whole <strong>family of keys, <code>AntiCheatProtectionType1<\/code> through <code>AntiCheatProtectionType24<\/code><\/strong>, each independently set to true or false. If you&#8217;re chasing a false-positive kick, you&#8217;ll be toggling a specific numbered type, not one global option.

A few settings (notably ones tied to the world or active mod set) still want a clean restart, but for tuning PVP, player cap, passwords, and messages this loop saves you a lot of downtime.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":2} -->\n<h2>Creating the dedicated server and where files live<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you&#8217;re standing up the server yourself, install it through SteamCMD using the dedicated-server <strong>App ID 380870<\/strong> (the game itself is App ID 108600).

On the very first run the console prompts you for an admin password \u2014 this becomes the password for the built-in <code>admin<\/code> account, so set something strong and remember it. The server writes its files into the user <code>Zomboid\/<\/code> folder: <code>Server\/<\/code> for configs, <code>Saves\/<\/code> for worlds, and <code>Logs\/<\/code> for archived logs. To allocate RAM, edit the <code>-Xmx<\/code> JVM flag in the start script (for example <code>-Xmx8g<\/code>); remember that B42 wants more headroom than B41.

The simplest is <code>SpawnPoint<\/code> in <code>servertest.ini<\/code>, which uses the format <code>SpawnPoint=X,Y,Z<\/code> in world coordinates. The default <code>0,0,0<\/code> is ignored, letting players choose a spawn city. Set a non-zero value and <em>every<\/em> player spawns there. The third value is height: <code>0<\/code> for ground level, <code>1<\/code> for a second floor. For example:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:code -->\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>SpawnPoint=10629,9312,0<\/code><\/pre>\n<!-- \/wp:code -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The second layer is <code>servertest_spawnregions.lua<\/code>, which lists the cities offered on the spawn screen. Each region entry uses Cell plus Relative coordinates, like <code>{ worldX = 35, worldY = 31, posX = 129, posY = 12 }<\/code>, where <code>worldX\/worldY<\/code> are the Cell coordinates and <code>posX\/posY<\/code> are the Relative coordinates. To find coordinates, use a community Project Zomboid map (several mirrors exist, such as map.projectzomboid.com); use its &#8220;Lock Coords&#8221; mode, click a spot, and read off the Cell and Rel values. For a single fixed spawn, just set <code>SpawnPoint<\/code> directly \u2014 it&#8217;s the simplest route. For selectable multi-region control, edit the regions Lua file. Our dedicated walkthrough on <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-spawn-point-in-project-zomboid-server\/\">setting up spawn points<\/a> goes step by step. Note that some guides show an alternate four-value form (<code>SpawnPoint=Cx,Cy,Rx,Ry<\/code>); the three-value <code>X,Y,Z<\/code> form is the dominant, verified one, so prefer it and confirm any four-value variant against your build.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":2} -->\n<h2>The Steam Workshop two-key system<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This is the single biggest mod gotcha, so it&#8217;s worth slowing down. Adding a Workshop mod requires <strong>two<\/strong> separate keys in <code>servertest.ini<\/code>, and forgetting either one is why mods &#8220;don&#8217;t load.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong><code>WorkshopItems<\/code><\/strong> takes the numeric Workshop IDs (the number in the Workshop URL), semicolon-separated.

Both are required: a Workshop ID alone downloads but never loads, and a Mod ID alone won&#8217;t download anything. Load order is the left-to-right order in <code>Mods=<\/code>, so later entries can override earlier ones \u2014 useful for patch mods. The server auto-downloads everything in <code>WorkshopItems<\/code> on startup. Our step-by-step on <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-install-steam-workshop-mods-to-your-project-zomboid-server\/\">installing Steam Workshop mods<\/a> covers finding both IDs for each mod.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":2} -->\n<h2>The whitelist: Open=true vs Open=false<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The whitelist is governed entirely by the <code>Open<\/code> key. With <code>Open=true<\/code> the server is open: any client may join, and an account (username plus password) is auto-created on first join and stored in the player database. With <code>Open=false<\/code> the server is whitelist-only: admins pre-create accounts and unknown users can&#8217;t connect.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To add a whitelisted account, use <code>\/adduser <username> <password><\/code>. There&#8217;s a command to remove an account from the whitelist as well \u2014 commonly written as <code>\/removeuserfromwhitelist<\/code> or <code>\/removeuser<\/code>, so confirm the exact spelling against PZwiki for your build. A handy pattern when converting a previously-open server to whitelist-only is to flip <code>Open<\/code> to false and convert everyone currently connected into whitelist accounts in one shot (a command often listed as <code>\/addalltowhitelist<\/code> \u2014 verify before relying on it). Remember that these per-account passwords are distinct from the server-wide <code>Password=<\/code> join password.

Set both, semicolon-separated, and check <code>server-console.txt<\/code> or the latest <code>DebugLog-server.txt<\/code> for the exact Mod IDs the server detected.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>What&#8217;s the difference between Open and the whitelist?<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>They&#8217;re the same setting. <code>Open=true<\/code> means an open server where accounts auto-create on first join; <code>Open=false<\/code> means whitelist-only, where you pre-create accounts with <code>\/adduser <username> <password><\/code>. The per-account password each player gets is different from the server-wide <code>Password=<\/code> join password, which gates the whole server regardless of whitelist mode.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Is Build 42 config different from Build 41?<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The structure is the same: the same three-file model, the same <code>Zomboid\/Server\/<\/code> location, the same admin commands, whitelist, and Workshop two-key system. What differs in B42 is mostly inside <code>SandboxVars.lua<\/code> \u2014 new entries for animals, basements, and darkness \u2014 plus a heavier RAM footprint and an expanded map. Crucially, B42 saves are not compatible with B41 and there&#8217;s no official converter, so don&#8217;t move a world between branches. As of mid-2026, B41 is still the stable default and B42 remains an opt-in unstable branch.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you run a Project Zomboid dedicated server, almost everything you care about lives in three plain files inside one folder.
