How to Upload an Existing Save to Your Project Zomboid Server Print

Want to pick up where you left off in single-player or migrate your old multiplayer world? Here's how to upload an existing save to your Imperium Hosting Project Zomboid server.

Step 1: Locate Your Save Files

On your PC, navigate to the following path:

Inside, you should find two important folders:

• servertest

• servertest_player

Step 2: Zip Your Save Files

1. Select both the servertest and servertest_player folders.

2. Right-click and compress them into a .zip file (e.g., PZSave.zip).

Step 3: Upload the Save to Your Server

1. Stop your server from the control panel to avoid conflicts.

2. Open the File Manager from your server's control panel.

3. Navigate to:

    

   ./Zomboid/Saves/Multiplayer/

4. If a servertest folder already exists, delete it to prevent overwrite issues.

5. Upload your .zip file here.

Step 4: Extract the Save File

1. After uploading, right-click the .zip file in File Manager.

2. Select “Extract”.

3. Wait for extraction to finish — this may take a few minutes depending on the save size.

You're Done!

Start your server again, and your previously saved world should now load automatically.
