Project Zomboid

Site Positioning

The Project Zomboid site is part of the 500-site expansion plan. It starts by covering four search-heavy needs: resource gathering, base building, tech tree, co-op survival.

This site begins as a stable index. Future work should split it into specific quests, gear pages, map routes, system explainers, update notes, and video-led guides as demand appears.
