Server passwordask in the group chat

The join screen has TWO passwords — this trips everyone. “Server password” is the one from the group chat, same for all of us. “Account username / password” is your own login that you invent the first time — and must retype identically every join after that. “Wrong password” on a rejoin means your account password doesn't match what you first typed. Forgot it? Ask Todd for a reset.

Three steps, in game

  1. Update Project Zomboid on Steam — the server runs Build 42 stable (42.20), so no beta opt-in needed. If you're pinned to Build 41, unpin it: right-click the game → Properties → Betas → “None”.
  2. Play → Join → Favorites tab. Enter the IP, port, and server password above. The “Account username / password” fields are yours to invent — that's your character login on this server, made up on first join.
  3. Accept the mod prompt. The game lists the server's mods, subscribes you, and downloads them. Let it finish, then join again. Done.

You don't need to install anything ahead of time — step 3 handles it. Subscribing to the list below just makes your first join faster.

Server bulletin

Aug 9 — SIGNAL INTERFERENCE

This station has begun receiving irregular transmissions on military bands. Content unverified. Continue normal survival operations. This broadcast will update as the situation develops.

Aug 9 — Patch Notes

NEW ADDRESS — the server's callsign is now shadowkeep.skullbash.io (port unchanged). Update your Favorites entry; the old numeric IP dies whenever the ISP feels like it, the name never will.

NEW MODS (landed at this morning's 5 AM maintenance)Project RV Interior: walk into and live out of RVs and campers, mobile base time · Authentic Z: 140+ new zombie looks with lootable backpacks · Vanilla Firearms Rework: every gun remodeled, plus grips, suppressors and lasers on the attachment system · Project Cook: proper cooking UI · Minimap Style Options · More Car Features: fuel siphoning, key cloning for the crew, trunk crafting surfaces. Plus, from the small hours last night: 8 KI5 rides — M998 Humvee, Range Rover Classic, Skyline GT-R, '70 Challenger, G-wagen, Chevy S10, Jeep J10.

EVENTSDouble XP weekends: every Friday 5 AM to Monday 5 AM, automatic, first one starts Friday Aug 14 · Friday Car Drops: a themed vehicle batch every Friday for ten weeks — military convoys, muscle classics, and things we won't spoil (one drops straight out of a time-travel movie). Drop 01 lands Aug 14 with the double XP.

WHITELIST (effective Aug 10) — the server goes invite-only: existing accounts are unaffected; new players ask in the Discord and get an account made for them.

FIXED — the red ERROR counter is gone (a broken mod was retired). Still see it? Rejoin.

SERVER — nightly 5 AM maintenance (~10 min), world autosaves every 15 minutes, automatic daily backups.

NOTE — first join after this patch downloads ~1 GB of new mods. Let it finish.

Aug 8 — Vehicle drop

~60 new vehicles are live: the Motorious Zone pack (muscle, imports, exotics) plus 8 hand-picked KI5 rides — M998 Humvee, Range Rover Classic, Skyline GT-R, '70 Challenger, G-wagen, Chevy S10, Jeep J10. Rejoin and accept the mod prompt (one-time download), then loot somewhere nobody's explored yet — new vehicles only spawn in fresh map chunks. The airport lots and far-side neighborhoods are good bets.

House rules & facts

Build 42 stable · Muldraugh, KY · 10 slots · world pauses when everyone's offline, so nobody loses base progress overnight. PVP needs both players to toggle it on (skull icon) — no surprise murders. Sledgehammers work, fire is real: don't burn down the safehouse. Loot respawns are off in claimed safehouses.

Whitelist (from Aug 10)

The server is going invite-only: existing accounts keep working exactly as before, but new players can't self-register anymore. Bringing a friend? Have them ask in the Discord — an account gets made for them, usually within the day, and their login comes back in the chat.

Support tickets

Lost something to a bug? Stuck? Want a mod added? File a ticket in-game: hit ESC and pick Tickets, write it, send. Tickets go to the server — Todd reads them daily (and gets them flagged automatically), and admins can answer in-game. For can't-even-join problems, obviously use the group chat instead.

If you can't get in

90% of join failures are the two-password mixup (see the yellow note above). The other 10%: your game is on Build 41 (unpin the beta), or the mods finished downloading and the game just needs a restart. Still stuck? Ping Todd.

Updated Aug 9, from the server's own logs. Correction to the previous board: the crew has racked up 11 deaths, not zero — someone re-rolled five times and said nothing. Quan remains the only survivor death has not met. Hours are in-game time; ranked by fewest deaths.

Mod controls worth knowing

ModHow to use it
Proximity InventoryToggle the aggregate view with the icon above your loot panel — it merges every container in reach into one list
Manage ContainersSort buttons appear in the container header; set favorites to protect items from bulk moves
Vehicle modsModded cars use vanilla controls; check keys under Options → Key Bindings if a mod adds any

First night briefing (new survivors)

  1. Don't fight, walk. Zombies lose you around corners and through hedges. Running makes noise; noise makes crowds.
  2. Water bottle + weapon + bag before sundown. Any kitchen has the first, any bedroom closet might have the rest.
  3. Sheet every window of wherever you sleep — zombies track light at night.
  4. Ask in chat where the group is. Muldraugh is big and lonely; press T to talk, and dying alone 2 km from everyone is the classic first-night mistake.
