Server administrators in Project Zomboid can control and customise nearly every aspect of their server using console commands. These commands can be executed either in-game or directly through the ChipHead Panel console.
From spawning items and vehicles to moderating players or adjusting gameplay settings, console commands provide admins with a fast and efficient way to manage their servers and keep gameplay running smoothly.
Console commands are only available to server admins.
To gain access, make sure you’re logged in as the admin account or have been assigned admin privileges.
Console commands can be entered:
Through your ChipHead Panel console, or
In-game via chat (press T and type your command).
