How to Become Admin and Enter Commands on Your Project Zomboid Dedicated Server

There are two different ways you can easily use admin commands on your server. You can directly enter commands in your server console or you can create an admin character in the game. This guide will explain how to set up both for your dedicated server.

Setting Up the Nodecraft Pro Console

Stop the server if it's already online and enter an Admin Password in your Game Settings tab. We have already provided a random one for you, but you are more than welcome to change it.

Once the server is green and fully online you’ll be able to enter any available commands. For a list of commands that can be used type help in the console.

Creating an Admin Character

While the server console will give you some measure of control, some commands should be used in the game. First, create a character and join your server.

Change Your Character’s Access

Once you have joined you can immediately set your characters admin level by entering the following command in your server console with your Steam Account name.

setaccesslevel Steam_Name admin

You will immediately notice a change in the game with a new title being added to your character.

Entering Commands and the Admin UI

In the game, all commands are entered through the chat box on the bottom left-hand side usually with a / beforehand. Type /help to get the list of commands.

You will also see a new button in your bar on the left-hand side giving you more info about your server.

Different Admin Access Levels

The command setaccesslevel used earlier also has other administrative titles that can be given to set up a hierarchy of access levels. In order of the most administrative powers you have:

• Admin

• Moderator

• Overseer

• GM

• Observer

• None
