Project Zomboid recently released its multiplayer update and with it came a lot of new players looking to kill some zombies with their friends. And I'm here to teach you how to host a server for you and your friends. This won't be a dedicated 24-7 server though and will only run when the person hosting it is online on the server. If you want a dedicated server you're going to have to buy one. Now, the first thing you want to do is get the person who's going to be hosting the server to open the game and click the host button. After they've clicked on the button they'll be presented with a menu, the menu should say server test. If you're going to be hosting a server with mods there's a timestamp on screen for you to skip to but if you're not using mods, continue watching. The host from here can edit the server settings so you and your friends can play on whatever you feel is the best for you. If there's going to be a lot of you on one server you might want to increase the server memory but make sure not to use too much as it does use your computer's RAM. Once the host has selected the settings you all agreed on they can go ahead and go back to the previous screen and hit host on the bottom right. Now the server is going to boot it up. It might take a second but that's okay. Once the host gets into the server, makes your character, picks their traits and spawn point they'll be able to continue to receive the tutorial. Once the host is finally in the game they want to hit the escape menu and locate the invite friend's tab. And from there they need to switch the great deny button to allow on all the people be joining the server. This does require you to be friends with the host on Steam. Once that is all set and done the host can exit the menu and navigate to the Steam overlay. From there they can invite the friends they just whitelisted. The people who have been invited should have their games closed when accepting invites to avoid any complications. Now for you who want to have mods on your server, you're going to want to hit the manage settings button then hit create new settings. You're going to want to navigate to Steam Workshop and add every mod you want to have on the server. From then you can go ahead click save, navigate back to this menu and select your new preset. From then on you can go ahead skip back to this timestamp where I show you how to invite your friends. And that is all ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for watching.
