How to join.
Four steps to Knox County. No whitelist, no application, no mod fiddling.
Step 1: Project Zomboid on Steam
You need Project Zomboid on Steam. AffenBiss runs Build 42, the stable version: just update the game, no beta branch needed.
Step 2: Hop into the Discord
On Discord you get the server address and all the news. The server has been running since October 22, 2026. You'll find people to team up with there too.
Step 3: Connect, remember your password
In the game: Multiplayer, enter the address, connect. The first time, you pick a username and password for the server. Remember both, that's how you get back to your survivor every time. It has nothing to do with your Steam password.
Step 4: Let the mods load, start biting
Nothing to install: the game downloads all mods by itself when you join. That takes a while the first time, after that it's quick. Then claim a house and show some teeth.
Straight in
One click starts Project Zomboid through Steam and connects you straight to AffenBiss. Your browser asks once whether it may open Steam. If the game is already running, go to the main menu first.
