ABOUT THE GAME
What is Project Zomboid?
Project Zomboid is an isometric zombie survival sandbox focused on long-term survival, scavenging, base building, injuries, skills and an intentionally unforgiving world. Multiplayer servers are commonly used for persistent co-op groups, roleplay communities and heavily customized Workshop setups.
Why a dedicated server?
A dedicated server keeps Knox Country running independently of any one player and makes it easier to manage Workshop content, sandbox settings, backups and world files.
