NuperGaming Project Zomboid Server Update – Build 42.17.0 & New Mod Expansion

Survivors,

We’re excited to announce that the NuperGaming Project Zomboid server has officially been updated to Build 42.17.0! This brings us further into the cutting-edge unstable branch of Project Zomboid, unlocking new systems, improved multiplayer functionality, and a stronger foundation for immersive modded gameplay.


🚨 IMPORTANT WARNING – READ CAREFULLY 🚨

There is currently a known bug where a context menu option intended ONLY for admins is visible to all players.

DO NOT interact with this option under any circumstances.

Using this menu will trigger a process that wipes critical mod data, including ALL trader progress, colony data, recruits, and related systems across the server.

Any player found interacting with or abusing this option will be immediately removed from the server. No exceptions.

This is a temporary issue while we work on a fix—thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

🛒 Core Feature Mod – Dynamic Trading

  • 🏪 Trader NPCs with rotating inventories
  • 🔄 Player-driven economy that evolves over time
