How to Configure Vehicle Generation on Your Project Zomboid Server

Important!

In already created Project Zomboid worlds, many of the vehicle generation options and changes will only apply to vehicles that haven’t been generated yet in the still unexplored parts of the map.

This type of configuration is not recommended for Project Zomboid worlds that have been running for a long time.

2. Log In to Your Server With Your Admin Account
