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.
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.
This station has begun receiving irregular transmissions on military bands. Content unverified. Continue normal survival operations. This broadcast will update as the situation develops.
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.
EVENTS — Double 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.
~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.
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.
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.
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.
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 | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Proximity Inventory | Toggle the aggregate view with the icon above your loot panel — it merges every container in reach into one list |
| Manage Containers | Sort buttons appear in the container header; set favorites to protect items from bulk moves |
| Vehicle mods | Modded cars use vanilla controls; check keys under Options → Key Bindings if a mod adds any |
