Project Zomboid
installed in a Few Clicks

Open DeployCat and choose Project Zomboid from the list of supported games. That's the only decision you have to make to get started.

• No Steam App IDs to look up
• No manual downloads
• DeployCat knows everything about the Project Zomboid server already

Give your world a name and adjust a few options. DeployCat pre-fills sensible defaults and generates a secure admin password for you — so you can just click next if you want.

• Server name and max players (up to 16)
• Optional join password for a private world
• Toggles and game-specific options — in plain English

DeployCat finds your network address and opens the Project Zomboid game port for you automatically using UPnP — the part that usually trips people up is handled in one toggle.

• Opens UDP port 16261 automatically
• Picks the right network adapter for you
• No router login or manual port forwarding

DeployCat generates a secure admin password for you automatically. This password is used to manage your server remotely via RCON — no need to make one up yourself.

• Auto-generated 16-character password
• Used for RCON commands like save and shutdown
• Change it anytime from the server settings

Click install and DeployCat downloads the official Project Zomboid dedicated server for you via SteamCMD, with a live progress bar. There's even a mini-game to play while you wait.

• Fully automatic — nothing to configure
• Live download speed and progress
• Resumes safely if your connection drops

Your Project Zomboid server is live. DeployCat gives you the exact address to share — your friends paste it into the game's server browser or direct connect and they're in.

• Few-click start, stop and restart
• Copy-and-share connect address
• Live console, backups and settings whenever you need them
